NOTE

Exploring the Significance of the Book of Enoch in Biblical Context

Understanding the dynamics of Second Temple Judaism and concepts like demons requires reading the Book of Enoch, which serves as a critical scripture influencing Second Temple Judaism. The Book of Enoch provides essential context on the identity of demons and highlights the judgment role of Jesus as explicitly described in the Oracles of Enoch. It explains how the evil spirits originated from the Giants and ties them back to the Nephilim, a knowledge not evident in the Old or New Testament but known to the early church. The discussion emphasizes the importance of having the full backstory and context to interpret religious teachings accurately, as lack of context could lead to misunderstandings and doubts in faith.
