Prophecies About the Son of Man in the Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch contains prophecies about the Son of Man, the promised Messiah, before the birth of Jesus. This ancient manuscript foretells that the Son of Man will be a staff to the righteous and the light of the Gentiles. When Jesus referred to Himself as the Son of Man, the Jewish religious leaders understood the significance because they were familiar with the oracles of Enoch. The Book of Enoch's messianic content, more specific than Old Testament prophecies, validates its authenticity. The text even prefigures the crucifixion of Christ through phrases like 'hang upon the Lord of spirits,' revealing a deeper connection to Christ's redemptive work. This manuscript testifies to Christ according to Scripture, affirming Christian beliefs in the Son of Man as the key to redemption and reconciliation with the Father.
