A note from the author

“For 28 years I told my students we’d get to Enoch another time. This is that time.”

Every fall, my introductory course had a unit on the texts outside the Bible. Every fall, the Book of Enoch was the one my students wanted to talk about, and every fall the semester ran out first. In office hours they would ask me, “Did Enoch say this before the Bible did?” I always gave the same answer: let’s read the page first.

Years ago I found an old copy of the Charles translation in the basement of our library. A student I never met had filled its margins with pencil notes — questions, cross-references, the odd argument with the translator. I learned more from those margins than from some lectures. A reader adds their own voice to a page.

These are my margins. The whole Book of Enoch, chapter by chapter, and a second book for the question people asked me most often after class: “What does all this mean for me?”

Book one · The complete Book of Enoch

Stop reading about Enoch. Read Enoch.

All 108 chapters, with my notes beside every one.

Most of what you’ve heard about the Book of Enoch is someone’s summary of someone else’s summary. This is the text itself, in the public-domain R.H. Charles translation, with my notes on every chapter: what the page actually says, what it doesn’t, which lines get misquoted, and where the same ideas turn up in Genesis, Jude and Peter. The Watchers, the giants, the flood, the heavenly tablets. One book. Yours to keep.

The honest problem

Everyone has heard about Enoch. Almost no one has read him.

You’ve heard him quoted in sermons, on the internet, in videos at two in the morning. Most of those quotes are a paragraph lifted from the middle of a chapter, with the chapter number left off. That isn’t your fault. Nobody ever handed you the book.

The Book of Enoch is 108 short chapters. You can read it. You don’t need Ge’ez and you don’t need a seminary. You need the text, a few honest notes, and someone to tell you which parts are hard because they are hard — and which parts are hard only because people have made them so.

Inside My Enoch Notes

Five books in one. A note on every chapter.

The Book of Enoch is really five shorter books bound together. My Enoch Notes follows them in order, so you always know where you are.

Before you read

Where this book came from

Genesis 5:24, the letter of Jude, the Ethiopian church that kept the whole text, and the caves at Qumran: how Enoch was copied, set aside and found again.

Part 1 · Chapters 1–36

The Book of the Watchers

The two hundred who came down on Mount Hermon, Semjaza and Azazel, the giants, the warning of the flood, and Enoch’s journeys to the ends of the earth.

Part 2 · Chapters 37–71

The Book of Parables

The Elect One and the Son of Man, the judgement of kings — and the one section of Enoch with no copy among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Part 3 · Chapters 72–82

The Astronomical Book

Uriel’s tour of the sun, moon and stars, the 364-day year, and why a calendar was once worth arguing over.

Part 4 · Chapters 83–90

The Book of Dream Visions

Two dreams: the earth’s destruction, and the “Animal Apocalypse,” which retells history from Adam onward with bulls, sheep and shepherds.

Part 5 · Chapters 91–108

The Epistle of Enoch

The Apocalypse of Weeks, the woes against the powerful, the strange birth of Noah, and a last word to the reader.

At the back

The reader’s tools

A who’s who of angels and Watchers, a list of the places where the Bible and Enoch touch, and a one-page timeline you can keep beside you.

Every chapter walks you through

Look inside

Here is what a chapter looks like.

The text first. Then my notes. And room in the margin for yours.

My Enoch NotesPart 1 · The Watchers
Chapter 1
Text: R.H. Charles translation

9And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones
To execute judgement upon all,
And to destroy all the ungodly:
And to convict all flesh
Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed,
And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

What the page says

Enoch sees God coming with a vast company of holy ones to judge everyone — and to hold people to account for what they did and what they said.

What it does not say

It gives no date and no sign. This verse gets attached to all sorts of end-times charts; the page itself only says that He comes, and why.

Check it yourself

Jude 14–15. Deuteronomy 33:2.

Large type, wide margins, and every claim pointed to a chapter and verse you can look up.

How I wrote them

Four rules I kept for 28 years

They held in my classroom, and they hold on every page of both books.

Read the page first.

Every chapter starts with the text itself. My notes come after it, never instead of it.

Chapter and verse, every time.

Every claim points to the line it came from, so you can check it in your own copy.

Text first, opinion second.

When I’m telling you what I make of something, I say so — and keep it apart from what the page says.

Where my knowledge ends, I say so.

I work from English translations. I can’t read Ge’ez, and I won’t pretend to.

Said plainly

What My Enoch Notes will not do

A book that only tells you what it can do hasn’t been honest with you. Here is what this one won’t.

✕

It will not tell you when the world ends.

Enoch has visions of judgement. He gives no dates, and neither do I.

✕

It will not claim Enoch “proves” anything.

It shows you what the text says and where the Bible touches it. What you make of it is yours to decide.

✕

It will not pretend I read the original.

Enoch survives complete only in Ge’ez. I work from English translations and say so wherever it matters.

✕

It will not replace your Bible.

Enoch sits beside Scripture in this book, not above it. Every cross-reference sends you back to your own Bible.

✕

It will not invent sources.

No made-up experts, no “ancient secret” quotes. If a source is named, you can look it up.

✕

It will not tell your church what to do.

Churches have answered the Enoch question differently for centuries. The book explains how; it doesn’t pick a side.

The Guarded Ones book cover
First edition · 8 chapters · Large print
Book two · For anyone who has felt watched over

The Guarded Ones

Enoch wrote his book for one kind of person. The very first verse says who.

Most of us were handed one picture of what happens after this life and never shown where it came from. Enoch paints a different one. He writes for “the elect and righteous.” He says guardians are set over them “as the apple of an eye.” And he describes a fire built for fallen angels — the same fire Jesus says was “prepared for the devil and his angels.” This book gathers every one of those passages, sets them beside your Bible, and tells you plainly what they say about you.

Where the book begins

Three lines that started this book

I didn’t make these up, and I won’t stretch them. Here they are, word for word.

Who it was written for
“The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation…”
1 Enoch 1:1 · Charles translation

Not everyone. The elect and righteous. Chapter 1 asks who that is.

Who is watching over you
“And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels to guard them as the apple of an eye…”
1 Enoch 100:5 · Charles translation

Read it next to Psalm 91:11. Same promise.

Who the fire was made for
“…everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
Matthew 25:41 · King James Version

Prepared for whom? Enoch describes the same prison. Chapter 5.

Inside The Guarded Ones

Eight chapters about you.

Each one starts from a passage in Enoch, sets it beside the Bible, and tells you plainly what it means — and what it doesn’t.

Chapter 1

Who Enoch wrote for

The first verse names them: “the elect and righteous.” What those words meant then — and how to tell whether they describe you.

1 Enoch 1:1
Chapter 2

The guardians set over you

Guardians appointed over the righteous “as the apple of an eye,” read beside the angels who keep you in all your ways.

1 Enoch 100:5 · Psalm 91:11 · Matthew 18:10
Chapter 3

Your name in the heavenly tablets

Enoch reads the tablets where every deed is written. How that lines up with the book of life in Revelation.

1 Enoch 81 · 1 Enoch 103 · Revelation 20:12
Chapter 4

Where the souls of the dead wait

Enoch is shown hollow places where the dead are kept until judgement — and the righteous are set apart by a bright spring of water. It isn’t the picture most of us were given.

1 Enoch 22
Chapter 5

The fire was prepared for someone else

Enoch’s prison for the fallen Watchers, and Jesus’ own words about who the everlasting fire was made for.

1 Enoch 18–21 · Matthew 25:41
Chapter 6

“Fear not, souls of the righteous”

What Enoch says to people who suffered unfairly and died before they saw justice done.

1 Enoch 102–104
Chapter 7

How the righteous are described

The Epistle of Enoch describes the righteous in plain terms. Read the list for yourself and decide whether it sounds like you.

1 Enoch 91–105
Chapter 8

What happens at the end

The earth gives back what was entrusted to it, and the righteous walk in the light. How Enoch’s ending meets Revelation’s.

1 Enoch 51 · 1 Enoch 58
My Enoch Notes and The Guarded Ones together
The complete Enoch library

Read the book. Then find yourself in it.

One book takes you through Enoch chapter by chapter. The other gathers what Enoch and the Bible say about you — your guardian, your soul, and where you go after this life. Together they answer the two questions I heard most in 28 years of teaching: “What does Enoch actually say?” and “What does it mean for me?”

Questions

Before you order

If you want to read Enoch itself, start with My Enoch Notes. If what you really want to know is what it all means for you — your guardian, your soul, and what comes after this life — start with The Guarded Ones. The bundle costs less than buying both separately.

No book can promise you that, and this one doesn’t try. It shows you what Enoch and the Bible say about the people they call righteous and elect, who watches over them, and who the fire was prepared for — and it leaves the judging to God.

No. Both are PDF ebooks, emailed to you right after checkout through Gumroad. You can read them on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want on paper.

Yes. Both books are set in large type with wide margins, written for readers who would rather not squint. On a tablet you can zoom in further without losing your place.

Not in most Bibles. It is part of the Bible of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the letter of Jude quotes it (Jude 14–15), and pieces of it in Aramaic were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. My Enoch Notes shows you each of those passages so you can judge for yourself.

Neither book asks you to treat Enoch as Scripture. They read the text, show where it touches the Bible, and label my opinion as opinion. I wrote them for people who take their Bible seriously and want to see the source for themselves.

For Enoch, the R.H. Charles translation, which is in the public domain, so the full text can be printed in the book. Bible passages are quoted from the King James Version. Where other well-known translations read a line differently, my notes tell you.

Right after checkout, Gumroad emails you a download link. The books are yours to keep, and you can download them again from the same link at any time.

Yes. Each book is sold on its own. The bundle price applies only when both are bought together.

Reply to your delivery email within seven days and you’ll get a full refund — for a single book or for the bundle. No explanation needed.
