McCracken’s Notes
(1) THE BLESSING OF ENOCH (Page 15-16)

— This section is Enoch's introduction to
the book. At 1.2, he explains how the

angels (Watchers) showed him a vision of
the future. At 1.5, the Watchers are
mentioned; here Enoch means the run-away

rebel Watchers who came to live in his area
(this is described in section 3).

— In the bible (Genesis 6:4), the
descendants of the Watchers are described
as giants or Nephilim, they may have been

bigger than the local people, Enoch
describes them as giants, 7.2, Andrew

Collins' investigations suggest that a race
of unusually large people did once exist.
(See his book From the Ashes of Angels)

— The main theme is that of destruction;
God is going to clear away the sinners, so

that good people can have peace. This is
the Flood of Noah which was still some way

off when Enoch wrote the book, although
there are details of a ’second end’ later
in the book (see the 10 weeks).
