Summary

In this co-released episode, Steve Guerra of the History of the Papacy podcast and I launch into the earliest apocalypses: 1 Enoch and the Book of Daniel. The Book of 1 Enoch, older than Daniel, hid in plain sight in the Ethiopian Orthodox canon for centuries. Europeans only re-discovered it in the early 19th century.

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Gary Stevens, and welcome to the History in the Bible podcast.
0:23.6	All the history, in all the books, in all the Bibles.
0:28.6	Welcome to the apocalypse.
0:45.0	We are going to do our very best to prepare you for the apocalypse.
0:48.9	Today we'll talk about the fascinating books of Daniel and Enoch. There's so much to talk about
0:59.5	these incredible documents. So let's dig in. Are you excited, Gary? Oh, I'm excited. I'm
1:05.3	always been excited about the apocalypse. Apocalypse now. That's what we want. Apocalypse now. Okay, Steve. Now, one thing about

2:03.3	So it's a Jewish translation.
2:06.0	And 713, where I said, as I looked on in the night vision,
2:10.5	one like a human being came with the clouds of heaven.
2:13.4	In Christian Bibles, that's translated as, as I looked on in the night vision, one like a son of man
2:20.0	came with the clouds of heaven. So that whole passage is taken to be referring to Jesus Christ
