Either the inspired forecast of a great Hebrew prophet, predicting with miraculous accuracy the future teaching of Jesus of Nazareth, or the Semitic romance from which the latter borrowed His conceptions of the triumphant return of the Son of man, to occupy a judicial throne in the midst of rejoicing saints and trembling sinners, expectant of everlasting happiness or eternal fire; and whether these celestial visions be accepted as human or Divine, they have exercised so vast an influence on the destinies of mankind for nearly two thousand years that candid and impartial seekers after religious truth can no longer delay enquiry into the relationship of the _Book of Enoch_ with the revelation, or the evolution, of Christianity.(137) The _Book of Enoch_ Also records the supernatural control of the elements, through the action of individual angels presiding over the winds, the sea, hail, frost, dew, the lightning’s flash, and reverberating thunder. The names of the principal fallen angels are also given, among whom we recognize some of the invisible powers named in the incantations [magical] inscribed on the terra‐cotta cups of Hebrew‐Chaldee conjurations.(138) We also find on these cups the word “Halleluiah,” showing that A word with which ancient Syro‐Chaldæans conjured has become, through the vicissitudes of language, the Shibboleth of modern Revivalists.(139) The Editor proceeds after this to give fifty‐seven verses from various parts of the _Gospels_ and _Acts_, with parallel passages from the _Book of Enoch_, and says: The attention of theologians has been concentrated on the passage in the _Epistle of Jude_, because the author specifically names the prophet; but the cumulative coincidence of language and ideas in Enoch and the authors of the _New Testament_ Scripture, as disclosed in the parallel passages which we have collated, clearly indicates that the work of the Semitic Milton was the inexhaustible source from which Evangelists and Apostles, or the men who wrote in their names, borrowed their conceptions of the resurrection, judgment, immortality, perdition, and of the universal reign of righteousness, under the eternal dominion of the Son of man. This evangelical plagiarism culminates in the Revelation of John, which adapts the visions of Enoch to Christianity, with modifications in which we miss the sublime simplicity of the great master of apocalyptic prediction, who prophesied in the name of the antediluvian patriarch.(140)
