Genesis 5
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that
God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam, in the day when they were created.
3. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own
likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
4. And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years:
and he begat sons and daughters:
5. And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and
he died.
6. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
Genealogy continued to verse 27.
27. And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Antiquities Chapter 3
Concerning the flood; and after what manner Noah was saved in an ark, with his kindred, and afterwards dwelt in the plain of Shinar.
1. NOW this posterity of Seth continued to esteem God as the Lord of the
universe, and to have an entire regard to virtue, for seven generations;
Jasher Chapter 4
1 And all the days that Enoch lived upon earth,
were three hundred and sixty-five years.
2 And when Enoch had ascended into heaven, all the kings of the earth rose
and took Methuselah his son and anointed him, and they caused him to reign
over them in the place of his father.
3 And Methuselah acted uprightly in the sight of God, as his father Enoch
had taught him, and he likewise during the whole of his life taught the sons
of men wisdom, knowledge and the fear of God, and he did not turn from the
good way either to the right or to the left.

Noah Born
Genesis 5
28. And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
29. And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us
concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the
LORD hath cursed.
30. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years,
and begat sons and daughters:
32. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and
Japheth.
Jasher Chapter 4
13 And the wife of Lamech conceived and bare him a son at that time, at the
revolution of the year.
14 And Methuselah called his name Noah, saying, The earth was in his days at
rest and free from corruption, and Lamech his father called his name
Menachem, saying, This one shall comfort us in our works and miserable toil
in the earth, which God had cursed.
15 And the child grew up and was weaned, and he went in the ways of his
father Methuselah, perfect and upright with God.
Jubilees Chapter 4
And in the fifteenth jubilee in the third week Lamech took to himself a
wife, and her name was Betenos the daughter of Baraki'il, the daughter of
his father's brother, and in this week she bare him a son and he called his
name Noah, saying, 'This one will comfort me for my trouble and all my work,
and for the ground which the Lord hath cursed.'
And at the close of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week in the sixth
year [930 A.M.] thereof, Adam died, and all his sons buried him in the land
of his creation, and he was the first to be buried in the earth.
And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years
are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written
concerning the tree of knowledge: 'On the day that ye eat thereof ye shall
die.' For this reason he did not complete the years of this day; for he died
during it.
At the close of this jubilee Cain was killed after him in the same year; for
his house fell upon him and he died in the midst of his house, and he was
killed by its stones; for with a stone he had killed Abel, and by a stone
was he killed in righteous judgment.
For this reason it was ordained on the heavenly tablets: With the instrument
with which a man kills his neighbor with the same shall he be killed; after
the manner that he wounded him, in like manner shall they deal with him.'
And in the twenty-fifth [1205 A.M.] jubilee Noah took to himself a wife, and
her name was `Emzârâ, the daughter of Râkê'êl, the daughter of his father's
brother, in the first year in the fifth week [1207 A.M.]: and in the third
year thereof she bare him Shem, in the fifth year thereof [1209 A.M.] she
bare him Ham, and in the first year in the sixth week [1212 A.M.] she bare
him Japheth.
"There were giants in the earth in those days."
Genesis 6
1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and
they took them wives of all which they chose.
3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that
he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when
the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to
them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Enoch Chapter 6
1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that
in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.
2 And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw
and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us
wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.'
And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will
not
4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the
penalty of a great sin.'
And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and
all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan
but to do this thing.'
Then sware they all together and bound themselves 6 by
mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred;
who descended in the days of Jared
on the summit of Mount Hermon,***and they called it Mount Hermon,
because they had sworn 7 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations
upon it.
And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader,
Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal,
8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel,
Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.
Enoch Chapter 7
1 And all the others together with them took unto
themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in
unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms
2and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted
with plants.
And they 3 became pregnant,
and they bare great giants,
whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the
acquisitions of men.
And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned
against
5 them and devoured mankind.
And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and
6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood.
(The giants were cannibals.)
Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Jubilees Chapter 5
And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.
***Jude 1:6. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Earth becomes corrupt. God is angered.
Genesis 6
5. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart.
7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face
of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of
the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his
generations, and Noah walked with God.
10. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the
earth was filled with
violence.
12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all
flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the
earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them
with the earth.
Enoch Chapter 10
1 Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One
spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech,
2 and said to him: Go to Noah and
tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is
approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about
to come
Reasons for the flood.
1. and the earth was filled
with violence.
2. forsook the practices of their forefathers; and did
neither pay those honors to God which were appointed them.
3. nor had they
any concern to do justice towards men.
4. they robbed and plundered each
other
5. taught one another their evil practices (Perhaps 'gay rights,
'abortion rights' etc.)
6. and they robbed and plundered every man
his neighbor as well as his relative (It is well known that relatives do not
repay loans from family.)
7. and taught the mixture of animals of one
species with the other (Genetically modified plants and animals)
Antiquities Chapter 3
but in process of time they were perverted, and forsook the practices of their forefathers; and did neither pay those honors to God which were appointed them, nor had they any concern to do justice towards men. But for what degree of zeal they had formerly shown for virtue, they now showed by their actions a double degree of wickedness, whereby they made God to be their enemy. For many angels (11) of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants. But Noah was very uneasy at what they did; and being displeased at their conduct, persuaded them to change their dispositions and their acts for the better: but seeing they did not yield to him, but were slaves to their wicked pleasures, he was afraid they would kill him, together with his wife and children, and those they had married; so he departed out of that land.
My pappy used to say, "There comes a time in every man's life when he needs to leave town." Bret Maverick
2. Now God loved this man for his righteousness: yet he not only condemned those other men for their wickedness, but determined to destroy the whole race of mankind, and to make another race that should be pure from wickedness; and cutting short their lives, and making their years not so many as they formerly lived, but one hundred and twenty only, (12) he turned the dry land into sea; and thus were all these men destroyed:
(Perhaps the sinking of Atlantis)
Jasher Chapter 4
4 But in the latter days of Methuselah, the sons of men turned from the
Lord, they corrupted the earth, they robbed and plundered each other, and
they rebelled against God and they transgressed, and they corrupted their
ways, and would not hearken to the voice of Methuselah, but rebelled against
him.
5 And the Lord was exceedingly wroth against them,
and the Lord continued to
destroy the seed in those
9
days, so that there was neither sowing nor reaping in the earth.
6 For when they sowed the ground in order that they might obtain food for
their support, behold, thorns and thistles were produced which they did not
sow.
7 And still the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and their
hands were still extended to do evil in the sight of God, and they provoked
the Lord with their evil ways, and the Lord was very wroth, and repented
that he had made man.
8 And he thought to destroy and annihilate them and he did so.
9 In those days when Lamech the son of Methuselah was one hundred and sixty
years old, Seth the son of Adam died.
10 And all the days that Seth lived, were nine hundred and twelve years, and
he died.
11 And Lamech was one hundred and eighty years old when he took Ashmua, the
daughter of Elishaa the son of Enoch his uncle, and she conceived.
12 And at that time the sons of men sowed the ground, and a little food was
produced, yet the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and they
trespassed and rebelled against God.
13,14,15,16 above "Noah Born"
16 And all the sons of men departed from the ways of the Lord in those
days as they multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons and
daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices
and they
continued sinning against the Lord.
17 And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered
every man his neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the
earth, and the earth was filled with violence.
18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their
wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons
of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the
field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one
species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw
the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways
upon earth, all men and all animals.
19 And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of
the earth, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and
beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them.

"Producing new foods with modern genetic engineering is no minor event. Genetic engineers cut, splice and transferred genes between totally unrelated species, they could never occur in nature.
Scientists are inserting jellyfish genes into potatoes, scorpion genes into vegetables, human genes into pigs and fish genes into tomatoes.
Perfect accuracy using the gene splicing techniques and knowing exactly what will be produced is almost impossible."
Page 263 Never be Sick Again
by Harvey diamond
Matthew 15:13. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Jubilees Chapter 5
And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its
way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on
the earth -all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began
to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every
imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.
And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had
corrupted its orders, and all that were upon the earth had wrought all
manner of evil before His eyes.
And He said that He would destroy man and all flesh upon the face of the
earth which He had created.
But Noah found grace before the eyes of the Lord.
And against the angels whom He had sent upon the earth, He was exceedingly
wroth, and He gave commandment to root them out of all their dominion, and
He bade us to bind them in the depths of the earth, and behold they are
bound in the midst of them, and are (kept) separate.
And against their sons went forth a command from before His face that they
should be smitten with the sword, and be removed from under heaven.
And He said 'My spirit shall not always abide on man; for they also are
flesh and their days shall be one hundred and twenty years'.
And He sent His sword into their midst that each should slay his neighbour,
and they began to slay each other till they all fell by the sword and were
destroyed from the earth.
And their fathers were witnesses (of their destruction), and after this they
were bound in the depths of the earth for ever, until the day of the great
condemnation, when judgment is executed on all those who have corrupted
their ways and their works before the Lord.
And He destroyed all from their places, and there was not left one of them
whom He judged not according to all their wickedness.
And he made for all his works a new and righteous nature, so that they
should not sin in their whole nature for ever, but should be all righteous
each in his kind alway.
And the judgment of all is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets in
righteousness -even (the judgment of) all who depart from the path which is
ordained for them to walk in; and if they walk not therein, judgment is
written down for every creature and for every kind.
And there is nothing in heaven or on earth, or in light or in darkness, or
in Sheol or in the depth, or in the place of darkness (which is not judged);
and all their judgments are ordained and written and engraved.
In regard to all He will judge, the great according to his greatness, and the
small according to his smallness, and each according to his way.
Jubilees continued:
And He is not one who will regard the person (of any), nor is He one who
will receive gifts, if He says that He will execute judgment on each: if one
gave everything that is on the earth, He will not regard the gifts or the
person (of any), nor accept anything at his hands, for He is a righteous
judge.
[And of the children of Israel it has been written and ordained: If they
turn to him in righteousness He will forgive all their transgressions and
pardon all their sins.
It is written and ordained that He will show mercy to all who turn from all
their guilt once each year.]
And as for all those who corrupted their ways and their thoughts before the
flood, no man's person was accepted save that of Noah alone; for his person
was accepted in behalf of his sons, whom (God) saved from the waters of the
flood on his account; for his heart was righteous in all his ways, according
as it was commanded regarding him, and he had not departed from aught that
was ordained for him.
And the Lord said that he would destroy everything which was upon the earth,
both men and cattle, and
beasts, and fowls of the air, and that which moveth on the earth.
Enoch Chapter 9
1 And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel
looked down from heaven and saw much blood being 2 shed upon the earth, and
all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.
And they said one to another: 'The earth made without inhabitant
cries the voice of their cryingst up to the gates of heaven.
3 And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make
their suit, saying, "Bring our cause 4 before the Most High."'
And they said to the Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods,
King of kings, and God of the ages, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto
all the generations of the 5 ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and
blessed unto all the ages!
Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and
all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all 6 things, and
nothing can hide itself from Thee.
Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all
unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were
(preserved) in heaven, which 7 men were striving to learn: And Semjaza, to
whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates.
And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have
slept with the 9 women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them
all kinds of sins.
And the women have 10 borne
giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and
unrighteousness. And now, behold,
the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the
gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease
because of the lawless deeds which are 11 wrought on the earth.**
And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou
seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us
what we are to do to them in regard to these.'

How Good People are Saved
*Verses 20 and 5 &6. (Next column on the right.)
*5 And all who followed the Lord died in those days, before they saw the evil which God declared to do upon earth.
*when all those men, who followed the Lord had died away from amongst the sons of men,
Jasher Chapter 4
*20 And all men who walked in the ways of the Lord, died in those days, before the Lord brought the evil upon man which he had declared, for this was from the Lord, that they should not see the evil which the Lord spoke of concerning the sons of men.
21 And Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord chose him and his children to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole earth.
Jasher Chapter 5
1 And it was in the eighty-fourth year of the life of Noah,
that Enoch the son of Seth died, he was nine hundred and five years old at
his death.
2 And in the one hundred and seventy ninth year of the life of Noah, Cainan
the son of Enosh died, and all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten
years, and he died.
3 And in the two hundred and thirty fourth year of the life of Noah,
Mahlallel the son of Cainan died, and the days of Mahlallel were eight
hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.
4 And Jared the son of Mahlallel died in those days, in the three hundred
and thirty-sixth year of the life of Noah; and all the days of Jared were
nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.
*5 And all who followed the Lord died in those days, before they saw the evil
which God declared to do upon earth.
6 And after the lapse of many years, in the four hundred and eightieth year
of the life of Noah, *when all those men, who followed the Lord had died away
from amongst the sons of men, and only Methuselah was then left, God said
unto Noah and Methuselah, saying,
7 Speak ye, and proclaim to the sons of men, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
return from your evil ways and forsake your works, and the Lord will repent
of the evil that he declared to do to you, so that it shall not come to
pass.
8 For thus saith the Lord, Behold I give you a period of one hundred and
twenty years; if you will turn to me and forsake your evil ways, then will I
also turn away from the evil which I told you, and it shall not exist, saith
the Lord.
9 And Noah and Methuselah spoke all the words of the Lord to the sons of
men, day after day, constantly speaking to them.
10 But the sons of men would not hearken to them, nor incline their ears to
their words, and they were stiffnecked.
11 And the Lord granted them a period of one hundred and twenty years,
saying, If they will return, then will God repent of the evil, so as not to
destroy the earth.
12 Noah the son of Lamech refrained from taking a wife in those days, to
beget children, for he said, Surely now God will destroy the earth,
wherefore then shall I beget children?
13 And Noah was a just man, he was perfect in his generation, and the Lord
chose him to raise up seed from his seed upon the face of the earth.
14 And the Lord said unto Noah, Take unto thee a wife, and beget children,
for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.
15 And thou shalt raise up seed, and thy children with thee, in the midst of
the earth; and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter
of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old.
16 And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight years old, when he took Naamah
for a wife.
17 And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Japheth,
saying, God has enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived again and bare a
son, and he called his name Shem, saying, God has made me a remnant, to
raise up seed in the midst of the earth.
18 And Noah was five hundred and two years old when Naamah bare Shem, and
the boys grew up and went in the ways of the Lord, in all that Methuselah
11
and Noah their father taught them.
19 And Lamech the father of Noah, died in those days; yet verily he did not
go with all his heart in the ways of his father, and he died in the hundred
and ninety-fifth year of the life of Noah.
20 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy years, and he
died.
21 And all the sons of men who knew the Lord, died in that year before the
Lord brought evil upon them; for the Lord willed them to die, so as not to
behold the evil that God would bring upon their brothers and relatives, as
he had so declared to do.
22 In that time, the Lord said to Noah and Methuselah, Stand forth and
proclaim to the sons of men all the words that I spoke to you in those days,
peradventure they may turn from their evil ways, and I will then repent of
the evil and will not bring it.
23 And Noah and Methuselah stood forth, and said in the ears of the sons of
men, all that God had spoken concerning them.
24 But the sons of men would not hearken, neither would they incline their
ears to all their declarations.
25 And it was after this that the Lord said to Noah, The end of all flesh is
come before me, on account of their evil deeds, and behold I will destroy
the earth
*Jerusalem was given only 40 years warning.
Luke 23:28. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Jonah 3:4. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
The sign of Jonah had two parts;
1. Three days and nights.
4. 40 days until destruction if there is no repentance.
Jerusalem, unlike Nineveh, did not repent and was destroyed 40 years after Luke 23:28 above.
The children of the women above died in 70 AD Jerusalem.
In The Wars of The Jews, Josephus reports that 1,100,00 were slain and 97,000 taken captive.
Archbishop Usher estimated 1,337,490 died. Some historians estimate 3,000,000.
In The Wars of the Jews Josephus says, "The sedition destroyed the city and the Romans destroyed the sedition."
In other words the Jews were fighting amongst themselves and the Romans came, as peace keepers, to put down the sedition and save the city.
Josephus said, "Neither did any other city suffer such miseries, nor did any other age breed a generation ore fruitful in wickedness that this was, from the beginning of the world."
also
"It was God who condemned the whole nation, and turned every course that was taken for their preservation to their destruction."
Today's modern historians blame the Romans for burning the temple in Jerusalem.
In The Wars of The Jews Book 6, Chapter 4, Josephus reports that he Jews themselves set fire to the temple. Upon hearing the news, Titus and his Roman soldiers tried to put the fire out. The Jews tried to stop them.
Noah told to build the arc
Genesis 6
14.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood;
rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and
without with pitch.
15. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the
ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the
height of it thirty cubits.
16. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it
above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with
lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Antiquities Chapter 3
but Noah alone was saved; for God suggested to him the following contrivance and way of escape : - That he should make an ark of four stories high, three hundred cubits (13) long, fifty cubits broad, and thirty cubits high. Accordingly he entered into that ark, and his wife, and sons, and their wives, and put into it not only other provisions, to support their wants there, but also sent in with the rest all sorts of living creatures, the male and his female, for the preservation of their kinds; and others of them by sevens. Now this ark had firm walls, and a roof, and was braced with cross beams, so that it could not be any way drowned or overborne by the violence of the water.
*The Scapegoat
This might be memorialized in Leviticus 16.
21. And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
22. And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
Jasher Chapter 5
26 And do thou take unto thee gopher wood, and go to a certain place and
make a large ark, and place it in that spot.
27 And thus shalt thou make it; three hundred cubits its length, fifty
cubits broad and thirty cubits high.
28 And thou shalt make unto thee a door, open at its side, and to a cubit
thou shalt finish above, and cover it within and without with pitch.
Jubilees Chapter 5
And He
commanded Noah to make him an ark, that he might save himself from the
waters of the flood.
And Noah made the ark in all respects as He commanded him, in the
twenty-seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week in the fifth year (on the
new moon of the first month). [1307 A.M.]
Enoch Chapter 10
1 Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel
to the son of Lamech, 2 and said to him:
Go to Noah and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him
the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a
deluge is about to come
3 upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it.
And now instruct him
that he may escape 4 and his seed may be preserved for all the generations
of the world.
And again the Lord said to Raphael: Bind Azazel hand and foot, and
cast him into the darkness: and make an opening 5 in the desert, which is in
Dudael, and cast him therein.
And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with
darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may
6,7 not see light.
And on the day of the great judgment he shall be cast into the
fire.
And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim
the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the
children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the
8 Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons.
And the whole earth has been corrupted 9
through the works that were taught
by Azazel:
to him ascribe all sin*.
And to Gabriel said the Lord: Proceed against the bastards and the
reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the
children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men
[and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may
destroy each other in 10 battle: for length of days shall they not have.
And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be
granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal
life, and 11 that each one of them will live five hundred years.
And the Lord said unto Michael: Go, bind Semjaza and his associates
who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves 12
with them in all their uncleanness.
And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the
destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in
the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their
consummation, till the judgment that is 13 for ever and ever is
consummated.
In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and 14 to
the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever.
And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from
thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all 15 generations.
And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of
the Watchers, because 16 they have wronged mankind.
Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil
work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear:
and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth shall be
planted in truth and joy for evermore.
Genesis 6
17. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and
every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the
ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou
bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and
female.
20. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every
creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come
unto thee, to keep them alive.
21. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather
it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Jasher Chapter 5
29 And behold I will bring the flood of waters upon the earth, and all flesh
be destroyed, from under the heavens all that is upon earth shall perish.
30 And thou and thy household shall go and gather two couple of all living
things, male and female, and shall bring them to the ark, to raise up seed
from them upon earth.
31 And gather unto thee all food that is eaten by all the animals, that
there may be food for thee and for them.
32 And thou shalt choose for thy sons three maidens, from the daughters of
men, and they shall be wives to thy sons.
33 And Noah rose up, and he made the ark, in the place where God had
commanded him, and Noah did as God had ordered him.
34 In his five hundred and ninety-fifth year Noah commenced to make the ark,
and he made the ark in five years, as the Lord had commanded.
35 Then Noah took the three daughters of Eliakim, son of Methuselah, for
wives for his sons, as the Lord had commanded Noah.
36 And it was at that time Methuselah the son of Enoch died, nine hundred
and sixty years old was he, at his death.
Noah enters into the ark
Genesis 7
1. And the LORD said unto Noah,
Come thou and all thy house into the ark;
for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
5. And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the
earth.
7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with
him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
9. There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the
female, as God had commanded Noah.
11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
13. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the
sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them,
into the ark;
15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life.
23. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the
ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the
heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained
alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Genesis 8
1. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that
was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the
waters asswaged;
6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window
of the ark which he had made:
11. And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an
olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the
earth.
13. And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first
month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the
earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold,
the face of the ground was dry.
Antiquities Chapter 3
And thus was Noah, with his family, preserved. Now he was the tenth
from Adam, as being the son of Lamech, whose father was Mathusela; he was the son of
Enoch, the son of Jared; and Jared was the son of Malaleel, who, with many
of his sisters, were the children of Cainan, the son of Enos. Now Enos was
the son of Seth, the son of Adam.
3. This calamity happened in the six hundredth year of Noah's government,
[age,] in the second month, (14) called by the Macedonians Dius, but by the
Hebrews Marchesuan: for so did they order their year in Egypt. But Moses
appointed that · Nisan, which is the same with Xanthicus, should be the
first month for their festivals, because he brought them out of Egypt in
that month: so that this month began the year as to all the solemnities they
observed to the honor of God, although he preserved the original order of
the months as to selling and buying, and other ordinary affairs. Now he says
that this flood began on the twenty-seventh [seventeenth] day of the
forementioned month; and this was two thousand six hundred and fifty-six
[one thousand six hundred and fifty-six] years from Adam, the first man; and
the time is written down in our sacred books, those who then lived having
noted down, (15) with great accuracy, both the births and deaths of
illustrious men.
4. For indeed Seth was born when Adam was in his two hundred and thirtieth
year, who lived :nine hundred and thirty years. Seth begat Enos in his two
hundred and fifth year; who, when he had lived nine hundred and twelve
years, delivered the government to Cainan his son, whom he had in his
hundred and ninetieth year. He lived nine hundred and five years. Cainan,
when he had lived nine hundred and ten years, had his son Malaleel, who was
born in his hundred and seventieth year. This Malaleel, having lived eight
hundred and ninety-five years, died, leaving his son Jared, whom he begat
when he was in his hundred and sixty-fifth year. He lived nine hundred and
sixty-two years; and then his son Enoch succeeded him, who was born when his
father was one hundred and sixty-two years old. Now he, when he had lived
three hundred and sixty-five years, departed and went to God; whence it is
that they have not written down his death. Now Mathusela, the son of Enoch,
who was born to him when he was one hundred and sixty-five years old, had
Lamech for his son when he was one hundred and eighty-seven years of age; to
whom he delivered the government, when he had retained it nine hundred and
sixty-nine years. Now Lamech, when he had governed seven hundred and
seventy-seven years, appointed Noah, his son, to be ruler of the people, who
was born to Lamech when he was one hundred and eighty-two years old, and
retained the government nine hundred and fifty years. These years collected
together make up the sum before set down. But let no one inquire into the
deaths of these men; for they extended their lives along together with their
children and grandchildren; but let him have regard to their births only.
5. When God gave the signal, and it began to rain, the water poured down
forty entire days, till it became fifteen cubits higher than the earth;
which was the reason why there was no greater number preserved, since they
had no place to fly to. When the rain ceased, the water did but just begin
to abate after one hundred and fifty days, (that is, on the seventeenth day
of the seventh month,) it then ceasing to subside for a little while. After
this, the ark rested on the top of a certain mountain in Armenia; which,
when Noah understood, he opened it; and seeing a small piece of land about
it, he continued quiet, and conceived some cheerful hopes of deliverance.
But a few days afterward, when the water was decreased to a greater degree,
he sent out a raven, as desirous to learn whether any other part of the
earth were left dry by the water, and whether he might go out of the ark
with safety; but the raven, finding all the land still overflowed, returned
to Noah again. And after seven days he sent out a dove, to know the state of
the ground; which came back to him covered with mud, and bringing an olive
branch: hereby
Jasher Chapter 6
1 At that time, after the death of Methuselah, the Lord said to Noah, Go
thou with thy household into the ark; behold I will gather to thee all the
animals of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and
they shall all come and surround the ark.
2 And thou shalt go and seat thyself by the doors of the ark, and all the
beasts, the animals, and the fowls, shall assemble and place themselves
before thee, and such of them as shall
12
come and crouch before thee, shalt thou take and deliver into the hands of
thy sons, who shall bring them to the ark, and all that will stand before
thee thou shalt leave.
3 And the Lord brought this about on the next day, and animals, beasts and
fowls came in great multitudes and surrounded the ark.
4 And Noah went and seated himself by the door of the ark, and of all flesh
that crouched before him, he brought into the ark, and all that stood before
him he left upon earth.
5 And a lioness came, with her two whelps, male and female, and the three
crouched before Noah, and the two whelps rose up against the lioness and
smote her, and made her flee from her place, and she went away, and they
returned to their places, and crouched upon the earth before Noah.
6 And the lioness ran away, and stood in the place of the lions.
7 And Noah saw this, and wondered greatly, and he rose and took the two
whelps, and brought them into the ark.
8 And Noah brought into the ark from all living creatures that were upon
earth, so that there was none left but which Noah brought into the ark.
9 Two and two came to Noah into the ark, but from the clean animals, and
clean fowls, he brought seven couples, as God had commanded him.
10 And all the animals, and beasts, and fowls, were still there, and they
surrounded the ark at every place, and the rain had not descended till seven
days after.
11 And on that day, the Lord caused the whole earth to shake, and the sun
darkened, and the foundations of the world raged, and the whole earth was
moved violently, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, and all
the fountains in the earth were broken up, such as was not known to the
inhabitants before; and God did this mighty act, in order to terrify the
sons of men, that there might be no more evil upon earth.
12 And still the sons of men would not return from their evil ways, and they
increased the anger of the Lord at that time, and did not even direct their
hearts to all this.
13 And at the end of seven days, in the six hundredth year of the life of
Noah, the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
14 And all the fountains of the deep were broken up, and the windows of
heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty
nights.
15 And Noah and his household, and all the living creatures that were with
him, came into the ark on account of the waters of the flood, and the Lord
shut him in.**
Jubilees Chapter 5
And he entered in the sixth (year) thereof, [1308 A.M.] in the second month,
on the new moon of the second month, till the sixteenth; and he entered, and
all that we brought to him, into the ark, and the Lord closed it from
without** on the seventeenth evening.
And the Lord opened seven flood-gates of heaven,
And the mouths of the fountains of the great deep, seven mouths in number.
And the flood-gates began to pour down water from the heaven forty days and
forty nights,
And the fountains of the deep also sent up waters, until the whole world was
full of water.
And the waters increased upon the earth:
Fifteen cubits did the waters rise above all the high mountains,
And the ark was lift up above the earth,
And it moved upon the face of the waters.
And the water prevailed on the face of the earth five months -one hundred
and fifty days.
And the ark went and rested on the top of Lubar, one of the mountains of
Ararat.
And (on the new moon) in the fourth month the fountains of the great deep
were closed and the flood-gates of heaven were restrained; and on the new
moon of the seventh month all the mouths of the abysses of the earth were
opened, and the water began to descend into the deep below.
And on the new moon of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen,
and on the new moon of the first month the earth became visible.
And the waters disappeared from above the earth in the fifth week in the
seventh year [1309 A.M.] thereof, and on the seventeenth day in the second
month the earth was dry.
**Matthew 25
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
** Luke 13
24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door,
About 700,000 people try to get into the ark
Jasher Chapter 6
16 And all the sons of men that were left upon the earth, became exhausted
through evil on account of the rain, for the waters were coming more
violently upon the earth, and the animals and beasts were still surrounding
the ark.
17 And the sons of men assembled together, about seven hundred thousand men
and women, and they came unto Noah to the ark.
18 And they called to Noah, saying,
***Open for us that we may come to thee in
the ark--and wherefore shall we die?
19 And Noah, with a loud voice, answered them from the ark, saying, Have you
not all rebelled against the Lord, and said that he does not exist? and
therefore the Lord brought upon you this evil, to destroy and cut you off
from the face of the earth.
13
20 Is not this the thing that I spoke to you of one hundred and twenty years
back, and you would not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and now do you
desire to live upon earth?
21 And they said to Noah, We are ready to return to the Lord; only open for
us that we may live and not die.
22 And Noah answered them, saying, Behold now that you see the trouble of
your souls, you wish to return to the Lord; why did you not return during
these hundred and twenty years, which the Lord granted you as the determined
period?
23 But now you come and tell me this on account of the troubles of your
souls, now also the Lord will not listen to you****, neither will he give ear to
you on this day, so that you will not now succeed in your wishes.
24 And the sons of men approached in order to break into the ark, to come in
on account of the rain, for they could not bear the rain upon them.
Luke 13:25 continued:
***saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26. Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
****1 Samuel 8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

Jasher Chapter 6
25 And the Lord sent all the beasts and animals that stood round the ark.
And the beasts overpowered them and drove them from that place, and every
man went his way and they again scattered themselves upon the face of the
earth.
26 And the rain was still descending upon the earth, and it descended forty
days and forty nights, and the waters prevailed greatly upon the earth; and
all flesh that was upon the earth or in the waters died, whether men,
animals, beasts, creeping things or birds of the air, and there only
remained Noah and those that were with him in the ark.
27 And the waters prevailed and they greatly increased upon the earth, and
they lifted up the ark and it was raised from the earth.
28 And the ark floated upon the face of the waters, and it was tossed upon
the waters so that all the living creatures within were turned about like
pottage in a cauldron.
29 And great anxiety seized all the living creatures that were in the ark,
and the ark was like to be broken.
30 And all the living creatures that were in the ark were terrified, and the
lions roared, and the oxen lowed, and the wolves howled, and every living
creature in the ark spoke and lamented in its own language, so that their
voices reached to a great distance, and Noah and his sons cried and wept in
their troubles; they were greatly afraid that they had reached the gates of
death.
31 And Noah prayed unto the Lord, and cried unto him on account of this, and
he said, O Lord help us, for we have no strength to bear this evil that has
encompassed us, for the waves of the waters have surrounded us, mischievous
torrents have terrified us, the snares of death have come before us; answer
us, O Lord, answer us, light up thy countenance toward us and be gracious to
us, redeem us and deliver us.
32 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Noah, and the Lord remembered him.
33 And a wind passed over the earth, and the waters were still and the ark
rested.
34 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and
the rain from heaven was restrained.
35 And the waters decreased in those days, and the ark rested upon the
mountains of Ararat.
36 And Noah then opened the windows of the ark, and Noah still called out to
the Lord at that time and he said, O Lord, who didst form the earth and the
heavens and all that are therein, bring forth our souls from this
14
confinement, and from the prison wherein thou hast placed us, for I am much
wearied with sighing.
37 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Noah, and said to him, When though
shalt have completed a full year thou shalt then go forth.
38 And at the revolution of the year, when a full year was completed to
Noah's dwelling in the ark, the waters were dried from off the earth, and
Noah put off the covering of the ark.
Noah Leaves the Arc
Genesis 8
15. And God spake unto Noah, saying,
18. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives
with him:
20. And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast,
and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Antiquities Chapter 3
Noah learned that the earth was become clear of the flood. So
after he had staid seven more days, he sent the living creatures out of the
ark; and both he and his family went out, when he also sacrificed to God,
and feasted with his companions. However, the Armenians call this place,
(GREEK) (16) The Place of Descent; for the ark being saved in that place,
its remains are shown there by the inhabitants to this day.
Jasher Chapter 6
39 At that time, on the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth
was dry, but Noah and his sons, and those that were with him, did not go out
from the ark until the Lord told them.
40 And the day came that the Lord told them to go out, and they all went out
from the ark.
41 And they went and returned every one to his way and to his place, and
Noah and his sons dwelt in the land that God had told them, and they served
the Lord all their days, and the Lord blessed Noah and his sons on their
going out from the ark.
42 And he said to them, Be fruitful and fill all the earth;
become strong
and increase abundantly in the earth and multiply therein.
Jubilees Chapter 5
And on the twenty-seventh thereof he opened the ark, and sent forth from it beasts, and cattle, and birds, and every moving thing.

1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed.
And he took up his parable and said -Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.

Revelation
Revelation 1:1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2. Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Is Revelation a modern version of Enoch's parable?

Job 19:25-27. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27. Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;
7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men).
8 But with the righteous He will make peace.

And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them,
And He will make peace with them'.
31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
