If you thought the Book of Enoch’s account of the Watchers who descended to earth was kinda spooky- or if you thought the stories of their bloodthirsty cannibalistic giant children were scary- or if you thought the description of their gloomy dark underworld prison sounded terrifying- just wait until what comes next.

Because Enoch is about to see something that shocks him more than zombie fallen angels, more than death cult nephilim, and more than the dungeons of hell.

Enoch…is going to see God.

And God ends up being more overwhelming than anything else Enoch has seen so far.

Now maybe you’re saying- wait a minute, Luke. Enoch couldn’t have seen God.

In exodus 33:20, God tells Moses

…you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.

So why do you expect me to believe that Enoch saw God and survived to tell us about it?

Well, that’s a good question. But Abraham saw God. Daniel saw God. Jacob saw God. Ezekiel saw God. Isaiah saw God. And they all lived to tell the tale. So how can that Exodus verse be true if several Bible figures themselves have seen God?

I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. And yeah, we’ll also look at what Enoch wrote down as well when He met God face-to-face.

Turn to Ezekiel 1, and let’s get weird.
