A paraphrased rendition of the First Book of Enoch in Malayalam. Enoch was the seventh from Adam, and his book was the most notable apocalyptic work outside the canonical scriptures. the book contains prophecy, eschatology, cosmogony, visionary experiences, and supernatural encounters with extraterrestrial beings. By delving into the Enochian world of apocalypses we tend to get a glimpse of the expected dawn of the new age at the end of this deplorable dispensation marred by deception and outright evil. Peter, Jude, and other apostles of the first century quoted from it in their writings, albeit rejected and destroyed by scribes of the fourth century. However western explorers recovered copies of the book from Ethiopia in the seventeenth century, and Aramaic copies were discovered among the manuscripts found at the Qumran caves of the Dead Sea in 1948. Now read on to get a fresh glimpse of the mysterious world of Enoch, the patriarch of yore.
