SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
The Book of Enoch Says Enoch is the Messiah
In recent years, the Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch) has become increasingly popular among some Christians, with many arguing that it should be regarded as inspired Scripture. While there are several reasons to reject that conclusion, one of the most significant is that the book contradicts Scripture regarding the identity of the Messiah. Indeed, the Book of Parables (1 Enoch 37–71), particularly 1 Enoch 71:14, identifies Enoch himself as the exalted Son of Man. This video presents the evidence for this reading of the text and addresses the objections commonly raised against it.
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!
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.
