Thus far we learn that the _Book of Enoch_ was published before the Christian Era by some great Unknown of Semitic [?] race, who, believing himself to be inspired in a post‐prophetic age, borrowed the name of an antediluvian patriarch(145) to authenticate his own enthusiastic forecast of the Messianic kingdom. And as the contents of his marvellous book enter freely into the composition of the _New Testament_, it follows that if the author was not an inspired prophet, who predicted the teachings of Christianity, he was a visionary enthusiast whose illusions were accepted by Evangelists and Apostles as revelation—alternative conclusions which involve the Divine or human origin of Christianity.(146) The outcome of all of which is, in the words of the same Editor: The discovery that the language and ideas of alleged revelation are found in a preëxistent work, accepted by Evangelists and Apostles as inspired, but classed by modern theologians among apocryphal productions.(147) This accounts also for the unwillingness of the reverend librarians of the Bodleian Library to publish the Ethiopian text of the _Book of Enoch_. The prophecies of the _Book of Enoch_ are indeed prophetic, but they were intended for, and cover the records of, the five Races out of the seven—everything relating to the last two being kept secret. Thus the remark made by the Editor of the English translation, that: Chapter xcii. records a series of prophecies extending from Enoch’s own time to about one thousand years beyond the present generation,(148) is faulty. The prophecies extend to the end of our present Race, not merely to a “thousand years” hence. Very true that: In the system of [Christian] chronology adopted, a day stands [occasionally] for a hundred, and a week for seven hundred years.(149) But this is an arbitrary and fanciful system adopted by Christians to make Biblical chronology fit with facts or theories, and does not represent the original thought. The “days” stand for the undetermined periods of the Side‐Races, and the “weeks” for the Sub‐Races, the Root‐Races being referred to by an expression that is not even found in the English translation. Moreover the sentence at the bottom of page 150: Subsequently, in the fourth week ... the visions of the holy and the righteous shall be seen, the order of generation after generation shall take place,(150)
