db77b/Jesus' God-man Messiahship was just what
the Jews ordered, even if many didn't think HE fit the bill (& many others outside of Palestine, at least, never heard of him)!
In
the Book
of Enoch, this figure
is a part of G d; as a second or junior divinity,
he may even be considered a Son alongside the Ancient of Days, whom we might begin to think of as the Father.
Although the Messiah designation appears elsewhere also, it is in Enoch 48 that the similarities to the Gospel ideas about Jesus are most pro-nounced. Here is this riveting passage in its entirety:
IN THAT PLACE I SAW THE SPRING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND IT WAS INEXHAUSTIBLE, AND MANY SPRINGS OF WISDOM SURROUNDED IT.
AND ALL THE THIRSTY DRANK FROM THEM AND WERE FILLED WITH WISDOM; AND THEIR DWELLING PLACES WERE WITH THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE HOLY AND THE CHOSEN.
AND IN THAT HOUR THAT SON OF MAN WAS NAMED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD OF SPIRITS, AND HIS NAME, BEFORE THE HEAD OF DAYS. EVEN BEFORE THE SUN AND THE CONSTELLATIONS WERE CREATED, BEFORE THE STARS OF HEAVEN WERE MADE, HIS NAME WAS NAMED BEFORE THE LORD OF SPIRITS. HE WILL BE A STAFF FOR THE RIGHTEOUS,
THAT THEY MAY LEAN ON HIM
AND NOT FALL!
And he will be
the light of the nations,
and he will be a hope for those
who grieve in
their hearts.
