  • yup sounds like a black hole to me

  • Do you study the apocrifa(?)?

  • @ItzSlamDuncan "Study" might not be the word. I try to listen with understanding, but I am not a 'scholar' by any stretch!

  • Thank you for putting this up.

  • Thank you Lord God for showing the Book of Enoch. I'm so surprise to see Enoch vision when he went to see the things that he saw with the angels. Uriel... a powerful angel showed Enoch very graphic things. Praise the Lord Most High for His love endures forever. I want to be on the Lord's side because He loves me and He will never forsake me even when I make mistakes. He is a wonderful God and I'm totally dependent on His commandments and requirements. Glory and Honor to my Lord Jesus! amen

  • I love all this stuff. It's just a shame people take it all to literally and fall into painful and harmful psychosis over it. Is that just part of the price of being great literature?

    The stuff the church uses is called the cannon. Other contemporaneous literature from related sources will surface from time to time, like the dead sea scrolls or the gospel of Judas, but they fall outside the cannon, largely for historical reasons.

  • @rockbore That is where Enoch differs.

  • Keep up the great work Apocryphile, I have been truly inspired by your revelations of the Book of Enoch in your other 5 videos. I must admit, this one has the text rolling by too quickly and the music is distracting, but i guess it will appeal to a different audience than me.

    Now I need to get hold of the Book of Enoch and read it through slowly and let it sink in, but my word, this is beginning to seriously change my life around from being a casual and confused Christian. May God bless you.

  • Great video! I enjoyed it very much, and my first thoughts on reading this part of the book of Enoch was that he was looking at galaxies and other cosmic phenomena.

    :)

  • The bible is a collection of works that catholics believed were inspired by the holy spirit. Enoch wrote the book at the command of an angel. simple.. Doesn't fit the criteria for the bible.

  • certain books of the bible have been omitted, by religions because they deemed them too controversial, the book of enoch is one as well as the book of mary, there are also a few others that the church has been trying to hide for centuries, ask yourself why these men of god would be hiding the word of god.

  • people people.....enoch wasn't being kept a secret from the people, it was simply not considered valid book of the bible. there are secrets being withheld from the people by the church but this is not one of them.

  • Enoch LXXXVII:2 And I raised mine eyes again to heaven and I saw in a vision, and behold there came forth from heaven beings who were like white men: and four went forth from that place and three with them.#: And those three that came last come forth grasped me by my hand and took me up from the generations of the earth. To me these angels that Enoch is describing sounds like what alot of people are calling aliens. This is the time to awken and let God guide you to the truth. No man can do that!

  • @voorhees4life Aliens "demons" cannot tell the future. Enoch was shown the future.....so, I'm inclined to think they were not demons.

    Only God knows what is to come.

  • yes,the book of enoch has been revealed for this generation.

    wisdom is being revealed.yes,the truth IS the new testament.

    but the book of enoch is like: "SEE,IT IS ABOUT YESHUA!!!"

    THE CHURCH LEADERS HELD THIS VERY IMPORTANT BOOK

    BACK FROM THE PEOPLE FOR YEARS.NO JOKE! LOL!

  • i think the answer of why enoch wasn't included in the bible was explained from a non historical or scientific view... simply put no one at the time could understand the relavence of the scriptures until more modern times, when the books to be included were being choosen (look this up in your free time) most with outlandish claims (from a christian standpoint) such as enoch, jesus's childhood and immediate family, marys mother, and anthing that impowers the common man (ok not the last one) gone!

  • The book of enoch wasnt available for consideration at the time the king james cannon was compiled, further more It is my opinion God intended this book to serve a special purpose mainly concerning the elect as stated in enoch chapter 1. Only they will properly understand it - especially with the questionable copies and translations available . Hope this helps .

  • Why isn't the Book of Enoch in the Bible???

  • @xWhiteLightning Because it was meant to be held back until the "DAY OF TRIBULATION," as it states in Chapter 1 verse 1-3. That is why when they brought the book of Jude up to Peter, questioning the apocryphal sources within it, he couldn't simply say, "Sure, Enoch and the Assumption of Moses are valid sources--because we were supposed to be surprised by it in the "Day of Tribulation." What he does, however, is to tell us that these Scriptures came not by the "Will of Man" (2 Pet 1:21-22)

  • @xWhiteLightning but that prophecy came in "OLD TIME" (Read Enoch--who was BEFORE THE FLOOD, and the Assumption of Moses, which he alludes to in 2 Pet 2:11. He also quotes the Story of Ahikar 7:27 in 2 Pet 2:22 just to let us know that he approves of apocryphal sources. That is why he centers his whole letter around Jude, because THESE were the prophets that were in question, not the 24. It was to be a "RECOLLECTION," which he makes clear many times throughout the letter.

  • @xWhiteLightning It is my understanding that the cannon we call the bible today was put together via king james 1611 basically, however the book of enoch was lost as a whole until a much later date and wasnt even available for consideration, Further more as stated in Enoch 1:= This book is written the latter generation and it concerns the elect mainly . I hope this helps .

  • @xWhiteLightning because a group of individual scholars under roman rule decided it shouldn't be included in the bible's chosen books of the time. Also, they didn't anticipate that most of the works of enoch would be lost in the fire of the library of alexandria.

  • @xWhiteLightning Because it mentions re-incarnation and the Roman Christians disapproved because it didn,t tally with the bullshit they were ramming down everybody's throat until this very day. Today's Christians take the piss outta Jesus & give God a bad name. Just like the Jews and the Moslims !!

  • @arealbladeofgrass What do you mean "Today's Christians take the piss outta Jesus & give God a bad name", if you don't mind me asking. Also, are you referring to the re-incarnation that basically claims that after a human dies, they are later reincarnated into another human soul...or something like that?

  • @xWhiteLightning I believe today's christians are not practising the true religion that the story of Jesus represents. They follow a literalists view that Jesus existed historically, was the son of the desert god called Yahweh was killed and actually rose from the dead. These are lies told by the Roman catholics from the very begining of the faith for their own reasons. Too much too explain right now, please research although I don't mind you asking.

    To be continued..

  • @arealbladeofgrass ........Yes I am referring to the re-incarnation you mentioned.

    Although I can,t remember the exact details I believe that an early queen or empress

    ordered the book of Enoch be removed from the bible and this happened at the first council of Nicaea A.D 325. At the same time it was decided by voting that Jesus was literally the son of god instead of it being a metaphor for us all being sons & daughters of god. From that moment on everything was screwed up to this very day.

  • @arealbladeofgrass love it!

  • @xWhiteLightning Actually it is in the Ethiopian Orthodox Canon, because they retained ALL of the jewish texts. It was rejected in the early church, during canonization, not for its content, but because its origins were unknown. At that time the Ethiopian church was not yet established. MANY early church fathers speak in support of it, or the account in Gen 6. It is not condemned by the Orthodox church, although there are some within the church who speak against it. Revelation was also like this

  • this could be a black hole, this could not be, who cares? the point of this was not about a black hole but the power of god himeself.

  • Cern and Nasa are demonic and they are playing God.

  • it sounds like the are talking about the Sun. The sun as a portol especially a sun that is being CERN'd to open it up and either let things IN it or let them out. The sun is proving to be not even hot. Not Thermal, but electro magnetic and quite possibly the white Milky Portal...it is no longer a yellow sun it is white. It's getting more bizarre by the moment. Solar Flare same day as CERN kicked off. To the minute.

  • as a christian and musician i can say with 100% certainty that there is no such thing as "satanic music" nor is there such thing as christian music. only christian or satanic view points revealed through music. take the vocal track out and all you have is music. styles are only imaginary catorgories created by our own imagination for marketing purposes.

  • It has now occurred to me: the black hole is God's way of showing the wicked that they really do not want to become God at all. God is infinite and perceives infinity, and so all is well. However, the black hole is infinite and we are finite, and so it will drive us insane. These people will choose death over a black hole experience/true insanity.

  • some christians don't believe the book of Enoch is not from God, but I find it's more terrifying than Revelations, maybe that's why they refuse to read it. I also believe it's a book for today's time. Everyone should read the Book of Enoch.

  • sorry apocryphile

    this music is really awful and distracting

    dare I say satanic ??? sorry man

  • Well, it was originally supposed to be "Starlight" by Muse, and yes, it was supposed to sound like it was coming from the children of the fallen angels, because "Even the demons believe--and tremble!" not because I espouse their point of view. It is interesting how even these people seem to know that a judgment is coming, whereas many Christians do not. They cannot escape the knowledge of the coming judgment!

    PS-Good to hear from you!

  • Oh I see....Hope all is well ! !

  • We should really have the book of Enoch in the Old Testement, the only problem is you have to put it in between Genesis, Chapter 5 area, it won't happen with Europeon churches, at least Ethiopia has it.

  • HRISTOS AMID US!

    1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

    1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

    Psalm 1. ( fragment ).

    Just to say Hallo!

    Slobodan.

  • Hello indeed! I couldn't agree more. God Bless!

  • Hm.. Intriguing scripture, btw what's the name of the song?

  • People in Planes - Tonight The Sun Will Rise

    It was originally done to "Starlight," by Muse, which was a great fit, but the music Nazis forced me to change it, so I just audio swapped it to the best thing I could find.

    Check out the original. It's a little bit surreal when you consider the subject matter!

    watch?v=TF_xFlBXBfY

  • Thanks for the info, gonna download the song later. ^ ^

  • The Book of Enoch seems very much directed at our generation.

  • ENOCH CHAPTER I:

    1. The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ righteous, WHO WILL BE LIVING IN THE DAY OF TRIBULATION, when all the wicked ⌈⌈and godless⌉⌉ are to be removed.

  • 2. 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.

  • Excellent observation!

  • Hey this was excellent! Such issues bug me also.

  • uhh no not volcanoes, he says there was no earth below him or above him, do stars swirl around volcanoes no!

  • Watch the Lybrinth of truth series on utube look for clues to where the missing two vids are in the series ( hint ) he places them in the little window by the video. also find the 5 part video series by Fritz Springmeier. Watch them. Read Genesis. Then watch everything you can on the BOOK OF ENOCH

  • I'm sorry, do you mean Jihadist? Please, as much as I disagree with Islam, being that I am a Christian, I don't want this to be about that, or conspiracies, or whatever. If everyone simply knew this, all of those other things would fall into place.

  • I`m searching i need this

  • ever body did get it right i am my own worst enemy and i am drunk damn it

  • That`s exactly why set down and argue till the days end dawn i can out talk anybody even my shut up elders except somebody like you and be one of the best at anything i put my mind to but at the same time nasty dirty little fingers point with a nine inch nail i`m classified a nut and on

  • Good god, what a bunch of trifling shit

  • I suppose that's what someone with 666 in his name would say....

  • ...or anyone who cares to use a modicum of reason.

  • This is really interesting!! Seeing I read a book on death and dying called IF I DIE: The Truth about Life After Death and in the chapter on Hell~the author said "one" of the many "Prisons" of hell is a BLACK HOLE~the author referred to it as "the bottomless pit" described in Scripture..do u think this is true?

  • anybody know who sings the song in this video?? I love the song!! =) please someone tell me!!

  • People in Planes - Tonight The Sun Will Rise

  • music is annoying

  • Sorry. It was originally done to "Starlight," by Muse, which was a great fit, but the music Nazis forced me to change it, so I just audio swapped it to the best thing I could find.

  • LOL

    BEN STEIN? HAHAHAHAHAHHA. Evolution has been debunked by Ben Stein's expelled? The movie that was rated poorly by even MOVIE critics???

    You need to shut the fuck up, because you're embarrassing yourself.

    Have you even seen Expelled?

  • )= i´m sorry! no RLS but JONATHAN SWIFT!

  • this is a great exercise in imagination, apoc, but your hermeneutic could be true! there is astronomic info in some classic books predating its discovery ( "JOURNEY TO LAPUTA" by RL STEVENSON for instance )

  • Very intriguing! Please elaborate!

  • for instance, in this 1726 fiction author JS describes Mars with 2 satellites ( but Phobos + Deimos were found by astronomers in 1877 DC! ). there´s more, but i plan a book with that :(

  • With the passages taken out of context it may seem like Enoch is describing a black hole, but if you actually read the text in full you will see that he is clearly describing a volcanic island mass formation. Still interesting that he appears to be inside some kind of airborne vehicle whilst he is observing.

  • Enoch definitely saw this somehow!

  • does it matter who believes in god and who doesn't? can't we all just have our own opinions and respect them?

  • watch?v=7C4wbMc7V9U

  • just gonna throw this out here but in the bible its speaks of God cursing the snake to forever be on the ground (cant remember the exact verse). and if you look at every single reptile (all decedents from the dinos) they are stubby legged. So yeah the bible tells of dinosaurs.

  • dude i know u haven't seen an actual evidence that god is there. i don't blame u it's really hard to belive in that. trust me i wasn't a great guy however i saw two saints and THE VIRGIN MARRY several times in my dreams. i know it sounds insane. but try to pray to god when u need something or ask the saints to pray for ya and tell me what u think . u know i have no benefit in telling u that, it's ur life man make sure u don't waste it, cuz then; there will be no MAKE UP LIFE.

  • Not true the bible its self say that there will be a first and second resurrection. The first resurrection is for the ones whom have lived there live and have discorvered god. The same resurrection is ment for the ones who have not made there life right with god but have found god. So there for i of the christian faith have been told and read. So just because you have not done right means it is all over. All that needs 2 be done is a foundation in god.

  • God is real, do your self a favor and read the bible

  • and the fight over arguments where no1 wins begins again...

  • Heh. Go read some books by Zacharia Sitchin (about Nibiru and anunnaki). There was g o d s, sure :).

    Oh, and by the way, about 2012. It will be an end of cycle of Maya's calendar (so scientists say). But I don't believe we should expect some kind of apocalypse. Just some astronomic phenomenon, maybe.

  • there are storys and storys of deamons and angels and miracles.(i have seen witch craft preformed and iv seen mraculas healings)to be honest with all you who hate the idea of God, i would rather live with hope of a life with God and ever after then think i am going to rote in the ground and there is no point to life besides eat, sleep, and die... i want more then that.

  • why isnt God real? how can you say it? because there is no evadence? just because they dont teach it in school or people deny it dosnt mean it dosnt exist. i fell him and im happy. i still have fun, i still have firends. God loves me and you.

  • You can't know whether or not God exists, its metaphysical. Denying the possibility is as ignorant as suggesting that those that don't believe are wrong.

  • my claim here is not that you are not within all of your rights to subjectively view words as having specific meaning. But from an objective, and scientific standpoint, there's not much weight in these words. You probably know that. If you don't already, I invite you to study some cosmology/astronomy and stellar entities such as black holes to see their incredible nature. You can still believe as you wish about Enoch, but there's real value in looking at these things from a scientific p.o.v

  • You cannot study a black hole, except some numbers in some formulae...

    And none of this are proven.

  • Actually you CAN study black holes. It's not just "some numbers in some formulae." You can observe the effects of black holes on stars and other interstellar material. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Obviously there's a TON still to learn about these entities but your claims are absolutely false.

  • Oh yes, I forgot they have starships now that can go through hyperspace to ny black hole and inside the eventhorizon and everything, and with the real nice cellphone cameras anything is possible with regards to observing black holes.

    Effects? Well, it is proven that there are phenomenae, the rest is speculation.

  • Speculation? How do you think we DISCOVERED black holes? Science and math. You only know about black holes because of these things. you're taking what they've proven and relating the book of enoch passages as very general descriptions in some places of these things. Science found black holes and science will progress and explain them more and more, not the book of enoch.

  • I see. And I am sure that there will be a great discover soon. I sure sure that science and math will prove where a black hole leads. There will never be an invention that will bring you back from beyond the eventhorizon. But the difference between the Book of Enoch, is that it gives an explaination of what is beyond it. Which science and math will only provide information on the way they operate. And no, I don't think science and math are bad things.

  • a black hole doesn't "lead" anywhere. I think you're misinterpreting the name "black hole" to assume that hole means there's some exit to it or another side to it. This is the problem. What's an even bigger problem is that you would be simple minded enough to believe that people who wrote the Book of Enoch would have any idea about what is beyond the event horizon. That's ignorance on a level that's hard to imagine. The authors of this book had not a clue about black holes.

  • I see... and you're sure it doesn't lead anywhere? So, tell me what makes you so sure. I want to know why you think that. I am not simple minded. and it's that lack of simple mindedness and ignorance that allows to me consider such a thing. Prove to me that Enoch didn't take a trip to the stars. Thanks... good try, but calling me simple minded and ignorant makes you a hypocrit.

  • you are in serious need of a lesson in logic. When someone makes claims about things, especially those with which they could never have possibly had experience, it is up to THEM to prove it, not others to disprove it. We cannot be 100% sure that a black hole isn't some magic portal, but no evidence suggests that. It suggests that all matter sucked up by black holes, including photons, is packed into an infinitesimal dot a.k.a singularity. Fantasizing/hypothesizing is fun. You take it a new level

  • Well, it might suggest that. Because we see only one side of it! But you said 'a black hole doesn't "lead" anywhere.' Also, why is it so impossible that Enoch learned this information? I understand what a singularity is. I never said I didn't, I never did anything that would make you assume I didn't. Until you ass jumps in a Black Hole, don't tell me, or anyone else that their beliefs are wrong. Haha, fantasizing... ok buddy. I think that's what you're doing.

  • How can I be fantasizing? I'm telling you about data that's available and backed up quite well by physics and math. You're telling me about a translation of an ancient book in an ancient language written by ancient, provincial people who barely knew anything about the world they were living in. So is it impossible for someone from that time to have known about a phenomena in outer space? I can't say 100%. But since ther's no evidence to support it, I can be pretty sure. No fantasizing there.

  • Because you're fantasizing that the ancients knew nothing. Why don't you do some research on how much they actually knew before telling me they knew nothing.

  • Ok well passages that include general descriptions of some obkect like this video are not evidence. It's as simple as that. They do not qualify as evidence. And there is no other mention in the canonized Bible of even outer space let alone black holes. So where is the evidence that people who lived thousands of years ago who even understood the concept of planets and stars let alone black holes? I've done the research. There's nothing except wild speculation and selective reading

  • Wild Speculation? Have you ever heard of the Summerians?

  • If you actually read the book of Enoch you will see that he is clearly depicting erupting volcanoes and nothing remotely close to black holes. The passages in this video are deliberately taken out of context.

  • I did read Enoch. Volcanoes DO have, a heaven above, and an earth beneath...seriously :(

  • I read the book of Enoch years ago and was very impressed with the book. The book dates to the time of Enoch. There has been only three copies ever found. one in Etheopia, one in Englands lirary volts. No telling where they got it. The other one I believe came out of Rome. The real point is that this ancient book could do such a great job of describing the black hole thousands of years before modern scienc even called it the black hole. It is where planets that come before their time goes.

  • interesting . but the star wars script movement is annoying.

  • You can't describe a black hole, more than how dark it is. That is because not even light can escape a black hole. Such an arrogant and uneducated video.

  • Have ANY of you religious folk read ANYTHING by Zecharia Sitchin?

  • 'Genesis Revisited' in particular.

  • this is just selective reading. You've taken statements with some general descriptions and metaphors and interpreted them a certain way. Some of the things mentioned have absolutely nothing to do with black holes. There is no value in this academically or otherwise. Black holes were not discovered until relatively recently. Any description in the book of enoch resembling them is purely coincidental, and anyone with a decent education and who isn't superstitious knows that.

  • 10 millions years...im sorry but wtf man! Don't you think that is alittle bit too much!?! and then after that 10 million year span..what then? Do they get to go to heaven or just dissapear.

  • I don't know, that's like one year for every 10,000 people who ever lived. If you defrauded or murdered ten thousand people and only got a year for it, you'd probably think you got off light.

  • It's a victory, not a defeat. Systems will largely stay in place, but the world will then belong to us and not the bankers.

  • what will happen when babylon falls?

  • Not sold on the year quite yet, but people's Babylon will fall. Babylon is going to fall.

    There are lots of songs about it. Here's one of my favorites.

    watch?v=T2dY0JeoyH8

    Be sure to read the lyrics.

    Songs like this will make sense in retrospect. That's how perfect the world will be.

  • Apocryphile1970, what will happen in 2012?

  • and i do not believe in god at the moment, i am confused and looking for a conclusion, though that may never happen, but the one conclusion i know, that being human is having human quality's, i have accepted them and not knowing is living.

  • The Lord Je'sus returns to planet Earth soon, with a massive army of angels.

    Those that keep his commandments shall be saved.

    Come away from the wickedness, and sin of this world. Give up your addictions, gradually making unbreakable promises to the Lord. Cleanse yourself in his name.

    The time has almost come.

    Blessings.

  • You are not talking to a 5yrs old here. Black hole in the book of enoch? After the creation of earth by your supposed God? In the bible your God created this planet in 7 days. If it was supposed to be a product of the blackhole, then it'll have to take millions of years for the earth to form which is against your God saying let there be light and let there be water shits. All powers of heaven and earth in hell and the SINNERS will be locked there? Your God must've been dead by now. Worship Ifa!

  • Not sure I get your logic exactly, but no one said the earth was the product of a black hole, the seven days are not literal, and I almost hate to ask...who is "Ifa"?

  • Ifa is a God of prophecy in Africa. He's one of many Gods. Different Gods have different power over different things. No one being is supreme and unquestionable. Gods have visited. some to enlighten and help and some to kill and destroy hence the coming back of your God that needs anger management. We all believe there are beings human like physically but Godly in the mind. They have the ability to leave the earth when angered, they never destroy even though they can. Some still visit to help.

  • wikipedia descibes enoch chapter 18-36 as " Enoch's Journeys through the Earth and Sheol"

    chapter 18 is "the first journey", chapter 21 is "Preliminary and final Place of Punishment of the fallen Angels" it's apparently describing hell, not a black hole

  • Hell might just be the black hole.

    Lake of Fire = Accretion Disc

    Smoke that goes up forever = Radiation Jets, which can reach to the edge of the known universe.

    Bottomless Pit = The Black Hole Itself

    Outer Darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth = Outer Space,caught up in the Black Hole. Notice how Enoch describes it as a place of STRONG PAIN. Therefore it is the same thing that JESUS DESCRIBES.

  • how is a lake of fire an accretian disc? radiation jets aren't actually emitted by black holes, but apper to be. also, a black hole isn't "bottomless" a black hole is a collapsed star so massive that the escape velocity is greater than c. however, the "bottom" would either be the center, or perhaps a wormhole exit. there is no "weeping or grinding of teeth" in the black hole. you're interpreting something to be a black hole when it's not. it's like muslims saying the koran predicts string theory

  • As I said, you're making purely subjective and selective interpretations. Lake of Fire could be absolutely anything, and it doesn't sound like you really understand what radiation jets are. Coincidentally, what education in astronomy, physics, astrophysics, cosmology, etc., do you have? Just out of curiosity.

    You're taking an account by superstitious people, and interpreting them as a superstitious person. It's no surprise that this is the result.

  • I never claimed to be an astrophysicist. I just believe that this describes a black hole. If it means so much to you, go and find one who'll give it an honest look. I doubt you'll find one, because most of them wouldn't admit to even a belief in God, since the official religion of academia is Atheism.

  • Really? You want me to present THIS to an astrophysicist? And what is it you want me to say? I know what the answer will be. it will be the EXACT same thing I just posted, which is that this is a purely subjective and selective reading of some text that you've shaped to refer to a black hole. Simple as that. Academia has nothing to do with theism or atheism. It has to do with is academic and scientific. God is neither.

  • It sounds to me like you're just against religion in general because you keep using it and "superstition" interchangeably. Maybe I have it wrong, but this book has some things going for it. A Christian will recognize that it was quoted as Scripture in Jude 14 & 15. Christians rejected it anyway, so if there is a God, and He happens to be the Christian God, don't you think He'd call Christians to account for calling Jude a liar?

  • You're right, I am, because it teaches intellectual dishonesty and has corrupted spirituality. Instead of being truly universal and encouraging humans to search for "god" honestly, it denounces all spiritual paths but one, condemns random human behavior, convinces people that they are, by nature, dirty and sinful, and promises eternal suffering for those who stray from its path. It is, at its root, nothing but tribal mysticism spread mostly, especially in early ages, by violence/indoctrination.

  • Of course I don't expect you to, and if you did, you'd probably get laughed at. Doesn't matter. If it is, it is, and if it isn't, it isn't. Truth doesn't have to go through you or me or anyone else to be the truth.

  • No it doesn't. But it does have to pass some basic tests of logic, reason, and intellectual honesty to be identified as truth. And everything in any of the holy books that claims miraculous events doesn't pass any of those. Nor does the agenda of the early Sumerians and Babylonians who were some of the first to produce creation stories which were later borrowed by other cultures, re-worded, and presented as divine truth. That's how all the texts of the Abrahamic religions came about

  • Enoch is saying that stars are trapped by it, that they encircle it, that pillars of fire pour out of it, that there is nothing either above it or below it, that it is beyond the earth, that there is an "invisible cloud" around it, that its extent and its magnitude are beyond measure, that it is completely dark, but that its fire burned brightly. This is the place where the "Heavens come together." The entire three dimensional reality collapses within a black hole.

  • Enoch is even supposed to be the revealer of heavenly mysteries. (Especially in the Second Book of Enoch.) How is all of this a coincidence? God is talking to believers here. This book is about judgment. It is about what happens to people who speak harsh words against His greatness. So go ahead and speak against it. Join the crowd. Do the 'safe' thing. you don't need faith. Faith is for us 'superstitious' people, not 'educated' and 'enlightened' people like yourself.

  • Nobody has seen a black hole, well because its so strong it sucks light in... so unless he was refering to a galaxy... it was probably a rock

  • Nothing perfect about your interpretation of these words. You can see whatever you like in them, but it doesn't make them a description of a black hole. The book of Enoch is suspect itself. It was written, say some scholars, in the 5th century C.E (A.D.) making it bogus as to authorship by the great-grandfather of Noah. Most Jews, whose books the Torah and the Tanakh are supposed to be, don't regard the book of Enoch as holy writ.

  • Supposing you were right, then the ones who supposedly "forged" the book would have unwittingly described a Black Hole anyway. Maybe God worked THROUGH THEM WITHOUT THEIR EVEN KNOWING. If you accept the premise that God can speak through HOLY MEN, realize in the Bible that he also spake through UNHOLY MEN. (Balaam, Saul, Caiaphas, etc.) Also, God had the power to cleanse the unclean. ("What God has CLEANSED, call not thou "Common.")

  • One thing though first of all if you had read through the bible, the Unholy men knew that god was speaking to them. Would the one's who forged the book not know that god was speaking throgh them if he did?

  • Hey, I'm only riffing off of your argument. I happen to believe these documents are authentic and that they truly represent the mind of God. I don't think they are forgeries, you do. I don't think these men were unholy, you do. I believe ancient prophets spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. I believe that UNHOLY MEN PASSED JUDGMENT AGAINST THEM. Holy men were then moved to preserve them as best they could, possibly combining texts, possibly emending texts, possibly even composing texts.

  • ahh ok thats good to know. I tot that you considered them as unholy men. I too consider them not as unholy men but men who followed god be it for a while or those who remained faithful till the end of their lives. One thing which I know though when the The Council of Laodicea decided which of the books were to be included in todays bible, the first thing they did was to pray and ask god which ones were to be included. I believe god answered them and told them which ones were to be included.

  • But God is God. Jesus says he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If God could inspire prophets during the times we commonly accept Scriptural writings to be from, how can we be so certain that He couldn't do so at other times. Could He not just as easily do so today? I'm just saying that men have all of these preconceived notions about inspiration, but the one thing they all really boils down to is TRADITION. WHAT WAS ACCEPTED WAS ACCEPTED. It really is as simple as that. Man, not God.

  • He could thats why we have to ask him personally, I also believe that how the council of Laodicea selected the books was not due to tradition but due to god selecting for them.

  • " If you accept the premise that God can speak through HOLY MEN . . ." As an atheist, I do not accept the premise that there is a god to speak through any kind of men. As to the "description" of a black hole, that is your interpretation. Some zealous christians have insisted they heard words and phrases in popular records played backward. That comes from the human brain's tendency to find patterns in everything. It is a trick of your own mind, not a divine message.

  • Pretty interesting. But I'd like to say 2 things about the video:

    First of all, I found it difficult reading, with constantly moving text that at times changed speed, music and a picture in the background.

    Second, although that might sound like a black hole, a black hole (if they exist) could never be seen or heard. Sounds more like hell to me.

  • Hell might just be the black hole.

    Lake of Fire = Accretion Disc

    Smoke that goes up forever = Radiation Jets, which can reach to the edge of the known universe.

    Bottomless Pit = The Black Hole Itself

    Outer Darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth = Outer Space,caught up in the Black Hole. Notice how Enoch describes it as a place of STRONG PAIN. Therefore it is the same thing that JESUS DESCRIBES.

  • ahh but what we know of hell in revelations is its a burning lake of sulphur so... the descriptions of this book couldn't be talking about hell as sulphur is yellow.

  • apparently, god can't give an actual description. for some reason, christians can read the bible and interpret it to fit with science, but the bible can't make any scientific predictions.

  • Well, it is what it is. How else am I going to show you what a black hole looks like without distracting you too much? Just keep it the same. How am I going to present you with the text and provide commentary? Have the text coming from the bottom and the notes up above. I have to provide these elements simultaneously if the various aspects of this issue are to be fully appreciated. As you look up, your eyes scan over what you just read. As you scan downward, your eye meets up what you missed.

  • i hate stupid atheists that know nothing..... y dont they all just die and become a tree already like they all think? but of course if they do become a tree like they think i really hope a fat old sweaty lumberjack comes up to it and cuts it down and gets turned into paper and gets the BIBLE printed on it ^^

  • First of all. You stole that from "Dane cook - Vicious Circle. Secondly why do you say they "know nothing"? If they say that "God isn't real" you should be opened to listen. Much like myself. You can discourage them, I won't. Third, they don't only think that when they die they turn into a tree. You should have some common back round knowledge on them before you put them down. I'm not an Atheist. I just listen too what they have to say. And also Atheist think that when they die nothing happens.

  • ok basically dude im 14 how the fuck would i know who the hell dane cook even is who the fuck is he!?!?

  • You are a retarded little boy. God desn't exist. And life isn't meaningless. Just because there is no God, doesn't mean that we should all just kill ourselves. Only a retarded little boy like you would think that way. The meaning of life is to experience as much and learn as much as possible. God isn't real you just have to accept it. Ever since the bible, there has not been one supernatural sighting. How do you explain that? Your God is hiding from the world for what reason?

  • wait, you dont know who dane cook is?

    ...thats surprising.

    and disturbing. :S

  • God is fake, he is made up by people afraid of dying. What happens when you die? Well do you remember when you were first born? NO, because your brain wasn't fully devoloped. So when you die, there is nothing. It's hard to accept, I know. But that's the way it is.

  • yes its true when you die you die theres nothing more you dont feel die

  • ok one dude i was born and raised catholic (well baptised after i was born XD) but i have faith and thats all that keeps ppl going atleast ppl like me that r always fighting and if i didnt believe in my GOD i would not be alive today wouldve just given up a long time ago becuz if theres no GOD then life is meaningless and we shouldve all commited mass suicide a long time ago but no there is a GOD and if im only a teenage and i can realise all this then i damn well hope u can 2

  • halo3millitia14, you said "if theres no GOD then life is meaningless and we shouldve all commited mass suicide a long time ago". If people believe in god it keeps them from fear of dieing, maybe that is what humans thought would keep humanity going, because they knew of death and knew that people eventually would just commit suicide, then came the first coming of god, theoretically speaking.

  • Might be so. I think that fear of death really has become the only mark religion can rely on. Hsving said that, I don't think religion started of in such manner. I recon it's much more simple, and that most religions desend from our ansisters. For many, it was unimaginable that "coinsidences" created earth if you only go back a 100 years. I actually believe people would enjoy life more if they had an understanding of the world. It's not my reckoning that mass-suicide would happen for common peop

  • "Not knowing is better than knowing, believing is better than accepting, accepting is truth, truth may lead to fear, fear is confusion, then questioning. What is hiding should stay hidden because the truth suffering is suffering for our existence, truth is not god it is truth, god is what keeps us from truth" that is what i had in mind, on a scale that hope is god, and without hope a lot of humans would die. I am only 15, all these thoughts are only thoughts.

  • No this isn't a black hole, because you can't see black holes. You can only see the EFFECTS of black holes, not pillars of fire, and bright rings or whatever shit you're going on about.

  • Well, you could see it all the way up to the event horizon. That's why it says, "I could see it was completely dark, but that it was burning brightly!" Dark at the event horizon, bright everywhere else....

  • uh...the same title of an album of MUSE - Black holes and Revelations... and mean the same things

  • That's the idea. The angels know their final destiny.

  • Lol i realized that too =)

  • Who says the things inside the black holes disappear? If the the gravity is so strong wont it just be super compressed? I'm pretty sure no one said things just vanish. Matter just cant vanish, it changes form. ie Super compression

  • idk if it disapears or not ive never been in one but i think that it all just becomes super compressed like u said but eventually all of that mass of gravity compresses it so much that the integrity of the objects mass just desintigrates :P lol atleast thats wat my science techer told me XD

  • God is fake.

  • You could see it all the way up to the event horizon. That's why he says that it was completely dark, but that he could see the flame of it's fire, for it was burning brightly."

  • naaaaa i don't feel like reading this... this is to boring..

  • Ican explain the universe expanding: Matter take up space so when you give birth, the baby needs space so the universe expand and also because of carbon dioxide from factories!

    P.S. I think!

  • Is matter actually created though? Or at least in the circumstances you describe?

    A baby is composed of food consumed by the mother, so no matter is created. CO2 is a waste product from the alteration of other substances, so no matter is created.

    Hence the universe needn't expand in the situations you mention.

  • u know regardless of the Lego dude, I honestly think we can't say if matter can be created or destroyed. I mean I know about the conservation of mass/matter but when u look at how nuclear fission changes matter into energy, but even then matter can be annihilated by antimatter ( lol trust me it's not sci-fi look it up). given enough energy and a machine capable, we possibly could create matter. I mean who knows, CERN made antimatter, why not.
