The background information for this post.
Why would Evangelicals and Pentacostals be interested in the Book of Enoch?
The Evangelicals who are in non-denominaional churches and the Pentacostals want drama and excitement in their religion. They want a lively fantasy world. The Pentacostals talk in tongues thinking they are speaking an unknown language. Non-denominational Evangelicals are in megachurches with big theatrical productions for their services. They want drama, they want fantasy. They want a world wih demons and angels and other fantastical creatures. They want thrills and chills.
The Book of Enoch has fantastical tales with fabulous descriptions of all sorts of all sorts of places and beings. The Book of Enoch would fulfill the emotional needs of non-denominational Evangelicals and Pentacostals in abundance.
What would make it credible.
The Book of Enouch is in the Ethiopian Bible and their bible goes back to antiquity. If some “experts” argue against it, other “experts” have accepted it, and the authorities who have accepted it are ancient.
But expert opinion won’t be that important to Pentacostals. These are people who roll on the floor speaking gibberish thinking they are speaking an unknown language. Look at the non-demoninationals Evangelicals having a hoop and holler at their church. Neither group is especially analytical. They work on their emotional needs, so if they have an emotional need they will want something that fulfills their emotional needs.
The Protestant and Catholic religious establishments see if as a threat.
They have rationalizations, but these are rationalizations you can take apart easily. One Episcopal priest said they were rejected as fairy tales, but the existing books of the Bible have people rising from the dead, virgin births, pigs possesed by demons running into the water to drown themselves, floods of the world, parting of the sea, etc. etc.
The point is that the religious establishment in the West doesn’t have a strong reason to reject these books, but accept other books. Since Protestants and Roman Catholics are in conflict as to what books should be in the Bible, their rejection of the Ethiopian Bible isn’t that credible.
The Book of Enoch is referred to in the existing Bible which is supposed to be the revealed word of God.
Using existing materials to popularize the Book of Enoch.
There is where their is an abundance of resources already made up and just need to be spread. A lot of people have already concluded that the Book of Enouch would be popular and attract interest and have created a lot of technically impressive vidoes.
The following are some examples, but just Googling or using some search engin looking for “Book of Enoch” will provide an abundance of materials that are engaging.
YouTube has some really sensational videos. The AI is usually better quality.
Tiktoks are really dramatic. There are a lot of Tiktok like these three. The technical quality varies, so you want to locate those that are the most compelling.
Facebook has these reels
Since Substack doesn’t do previews I am just going to show one, but they have as many as TikTok or YouTube.

What is the plan?
Just share on your social media the existing Book of Enoch materials. If you get some criticism, just ask them if they think the Ethiopian Church is crazy. That will shut them up.
African American Christians have had the idea that they have been uplifted from African savagery by Christianity and so some might reject the Ethiopian Bible because it is African. Point out to them that there was no Baptists or Methodist or Episcopalians in Africa until the slavers and imperialist came.
So the Book of Enoch also is a way of pointing out to African American Christians the origins of their Christianity.
The homophobic African American churches don’t use the Ethiopian Bible.
They use the Bible of the slave traders, slave owners and European imperialists, they don’t use an African Bible. We need to make it clear to these homophobic African American churches that their Bible is a Bible used by the persons who enslaved, abused, exploited their ancestors.
