Reseña del libro "Essence of the Hidden Word: The Apocrypha & The Book of Enoch (en Inglés)"
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2 The Apocrypha The word "apocrypha" means hidden. The Apocrypha is a selection of books that were published in the original 1611 King James Bible and remained for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D. It still appears in some Bibles today. Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books. It is interesting that part of the book of Esther is accepted into the modern Bible, but one must look to the Apocrypha to read the rest. Also, the Apocrypha contains the Prayer of Azariah; a lengthy passage that appears after Daniel 3:23 in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles, as well as in the ancient Greek Septuagint translation. The Apocrypha was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than a century ago. We may never learn why these books were deleted, but we can search them for historical hidden treasures. Book Of Enoch Enoch was the great grandfather of Noah and was so close to God, he never saw death and he is mentioned throughout the Bible. The book of Enoch, also found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, talks of a great many things including angels, giants, portals, the heavens, the sun, moon and stars and how they calculate the calendar, prophecy, dreams and there is much in the book about the foretelling of Jesus.
