McCracken’s Notes

(4) THE MOST HIGH OF THE WATCHERS SPEAKS
OUT. (Pgs. 28–31)

— Enoch presents us with a condemnation of
the runaways by the Most High of the
Watchers.

- This section shows how the runaways are
regarded at home.

— Some background details do emerge later
in the book. At 106.13 (section 10), we
learn that the runaways came to Enoch's area

in his father's day. Enoch is a scribe,
see 12.4, and he says that it was the angels

who introduced writing. So, Enoch was
probably taught to write, and employed, by

the runaway angels.
— At 10.1-3, the Most High instructs an
angel to save the son of Lamech (this will

be Noah) from the flood. This is
interesting, because besides prophesying

details of the flood, and its timing, it
reveals that this was written at a time when

Enoch is a grandfather, (of Lamech), but he
does not yet know what Lamech's son will be
called.
