The Book of Enoch

Notes

(7) ENOCH STAYS FOR A WHILE WITH THE WATCHERS (pages 31-33)

This section describes Enoch's impressions on being shown around by the
Watchers.

At 17.1, he says he was at a place where the Watchers were like burning fire, (I

do not know what this means, although it does remind me of Moses and the burning
bush), but he also says that they could look like men.

The description at 17.5 reminds me of volcanic larva flows, such as in Iceland

where new land is being created.
The mountains mentioned at 18.6 are referred to again later in the book. I have

often wondered if it would be possible to identify this place from these descriptions.
The best match I have found so far is the South Sandwich island group. The main

island has now been submerged but the mountain tops now form the chain of islands.
For more on this, read ‘Thoth Architect of the Universe’ by Ralph Ellis.

This part ends with more details of the punishment for the runaways.
