Bible Trivia - 8/29/2008

Question: Which book in the Bible quotes from the book of Enoch, considered apocryphal by the Protestant Church?

Answer: Jude. (Jude 1:14)

Comments: In its argument against apostasy, Jude incorporates many allusions and citations. Included is a quote from the apocryphal book of Enoch, attributed to the holiest man of the antediluvian world and one of two Biblical figures to avoid natural death. (Genesis 5:18-24)

It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones," (Jude 1:14, NASB)

The quote is from I Enoch 1:9.
