SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
Timothy Alberino is Wrong about the Son of Man in the Book of Enoch
Timothy Alberino claims that the “Son of Man” passages in the Book of Enoch are prophecies about Jesus and takes this as proof that the Book of Enoch is divinely inspired. However, there is a major problem with that idea: the Book of Enoch explicitly identifies Enoch himself—not Jesus—as the Son of Man, which directly contradicts the New Testament.
There Was No Conspiracy to Suppress the Book of Enoch: A Response to Tim Alberino
In this video, I respond to several claims made by Tim Alberino, including the assertion that the Jews deliberately excluded the Book of Enoch from their canon because it testified of Jesus. Hope it blesses you!
Does Matthew 22:23-33 prove that the Book of Enoch is Scripture?
Did the Messiah consider the Book of Enoch to be "Scripture"? Adam Fink from Parable of the Vineyard says yes. Adam claims that Yeshua uses the Book of Enoch in Matthew 22:23-33 when he corrects the Sadducees regarding the resurrection, directly referencing it as "Scripture." In this short video, we examine this passage to see if it supports Adam’s claim.
5 Reasons to Avoid the “את Cepher” Bible
Recently, a “Bible” known as the את Cepher has been gaining popularity among some believers. It incorporates several non-inspired books in its collection, contains numerous inaccurate transliterations and translations, and plagiarizes Wikipedia and other sources. In this video, I explain why you should avoid this “Bible.”
Sean Griffin is Wrong About the Book of Jubilees
Recently, I made a 15-minute video where I gave an overview of the Book of Jubilees and explained why Jews and Christians have never considered it Scripture. Sean Griffin did not like this video and made a three-hour response to it. This is my response to his response. (Don't worry—it is much shorter than Sean's.)
The Truth About the Book of Jubilees
Jubilees is a fascinating book that provides a window into the world of Second Temple Judaism. However, instead of appreciating it for what it is, a few teachers on the Internet exaggerate its significance and consider it to be inspired Scripture. This video provides an overview of the book of Jubilees and explains why it is not Scripture.
R. H. Charles mistranslated 1 Enoch 71:14
There is confusion concerning the identity of the "Son of Man" figure in 1 Enoch 71:14. The Ethiopic text identifies this figure as Enoch, but the R. H. Charles translation reads differently because he purposely mistranslated it—which he admits!
The Book of Enoch is Not Scripture: A Friendly Response
I decided to answer someone on TikTok's questions about the Book of Enoch.
The Son of Man in the Book of Enoch
Some confusion surrounds the Messiah figure of 1 Enoch, particularly in 1 Enoch 71:14 when this figure's identity is revealed. This teaching argues in favor of the plain reading of 1 Enoch 71:14 that identifies the patriarch Enoch as this figure.
Zach Bauer is wrong about 1 Enoch 71:14 and the “Son of Man”
In defense of his view that the Book of Enoch is "inspired Scripture," Zach Bauer claims that the patriarch Enoch is NOT identified as the Son of Man in 1 Enoch 71:14. He says that among "scholars worldwide," nobody says that the Book of Enoch identifies Enoch as a Messiah figure. In this video, I show how Zach's claim is demonstrably false and that scholars who study the Book of Enoch DO say precisely that.
