SECOND BOOK OF ENOCH _The Forbidden Journey Through the 10 HEAVENS(MP3_160K) · truthunedited

• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Before the flood, before Noah, before even the destruction of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the ancient world, one man was said to have crossed
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the heavens themselves. His name was.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Enoch, and according to an ancient text known as the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Book of the Secrets of Enoch, he did not see
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: only angels.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: He saw celestial prisons, beings made of living fire, creatures
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: that accompanied the Sun through the.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Cosmos, and levels of heaven so vast that the human
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: mind can barely comprehend them.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: But the higher Enoch ascended, the more terrifying the journey became.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Because the heavens described in this book are not merely
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: places of peace. They hide judgment, invisible hierarchies and secrets
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: few men could endure to behold. Today, we will journey
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: through the ten Heavens described in the Second Book of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Enoch and discover what this ancient text claims exists beyond
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the world we can see. According to the Book of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the Secrets of Enoch, the journey began unexpectedly, not in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a temple, not on a mountain, but inside Enoch's own house.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: At that time, Enoch was already known among men as
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: someone righteous, a man different from his generation wise observant
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: someone who walked with God. But that night something changed.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The text describes that two beings appeared before him, angels,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: but not as gentle or peaceful figures. Their appearance was terrifying.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Their faces shone like the sun, their eyes looked like
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: living fire, their garments gleamed like burning metal, and their
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: wings filled the space around them with a presence impossible
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to ignore. Enoch looks at them and immediately feels fear.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Not ordinary fear, but the weight of standing before something
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that does not belong to the human world. According to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the account, the angels tell him they were sent to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: take him to the heavens. In that moment, Enoch understands
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that his life is about to change forever, and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: something deeply strange happens. Before departing, he has given permission
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to speak with his family, like someone saying farewell before
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: crossing a boundary with no return. The text describes his
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: sons gathered around him, confused, afraid, unable to fully understand
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: what is happening, and Enoch begins giving them instructions, final words, warnings,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: as if he knew he was about to enter a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: realm where few men could survive. There is something extremely
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: important in this moment of the narrative because, unlike many
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ancient texts where men attempt to reach heaven, in Second Enoch,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Enoch does not ascend out of ambition. He is called
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: chosen led, and that completely changes the tone of the journey.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: This is not an invasion of heaven. It is an
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: invitation but also a test, because as the angels begin
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: carrying him upward, the human world starts disappearing beneath him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: The earth becomes distant, small, silent, and then Enoch passes
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: through something the text describes almost like a veil between realities,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: as if an invisible separation existed between the physical world
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and the selectestial realms, and at that moment the ascent begins.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: But what makes this part so fascinating is that the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: book does not describe the heavens merely as abstract spiritual places.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It describes them as organized levels, real structures, specific regions
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: governed by different angelic orders, as if the universe were
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a gigantic, living hierarchy. And the higher Enoch ascends, the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: more he realizes that the heavens are not only places
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of beauty, they also conceal judgment, secrets, and beings whose
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: existence completely defies human logic. Because the first levels Enoch
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: encounters do not immediately reveal glory, they reveal something far
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: more unsettling, the invisible machinery of the cosmos and prisons
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: where certain angels await final judgment. The first heavens described
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: by Enoch do not resemble the paradise many imagine. There
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: are no harps, no peaceful silence. What he encounters first
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: is a living cosmos, organized immense and controlled by celestial intelligences.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: According to the text, upon entering the first heaven, Enoch
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sees something astonishing, gigantic storehouses suspended above the earth, reservoirs
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of snow, of ice, of rain, as if the forces
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of nature were administered by invisible structures. And surrounding these
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: storehouses there are angels, beings entrusted with controlling the elements
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of the physical world, the movement of the clouds, the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: currents of the winds, the seasons, the waters, everything functioning
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: under precise order, as if the universe were not chaotic
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but carefully governed. And this completely changes the way the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: book describes creation, because in Second Enoch, nature does not
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: operate on its own. There is a celestial administration constantly
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: taking place above the human world, and the more Enoch observes,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the more he realizes that the heavens function like a gigantic,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: hierarchical structure. But then the journey becomes darker. The angels
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: lead him to the second heaven, and there the environment
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: changes completely. The light disappears, the space feels heavy, dark, silent,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and then Enoch sees them imprisoned angels, gigantic beings, dark
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: with appearances ruined by their own rebellion. According to the text,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: these beings await judgment. They weep, lament, living imprisoned in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a region of deep darkness, and when Enoch asks who
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: they are, the answer immediately connects this vision to the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: ancient stories of the Watchers angels, who are be and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: their position, beings who rebelled against God and who now
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: await the final judgment. This moment is extremely important within
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the narrative because it reveals something unexpected. The heavens described
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: by Enoch are not made only of glory. There are
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: also regions of punishment, spiritual prisons, consequences of celestial rebellion,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and perhaps that is exactly what makes the second Book
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of Enoch so fascinating. It presents the spiritual universe as
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: something far more complex than we normally imagine, a cosmos
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: divided between order, worship, movement, and judgment. And the higher
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Enoch ascends, the more he realizes that an invisible war
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is taking place far above humanity, a battle between obedience
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and rebellion, between light and downfall. And even the angels
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: did not escape the consequences of this conflict. But there
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: after the darkness of the Second Heaven, Enoch begins ascending
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: once more, and the next levels would reveal something completely different,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: not only prisons, but regions so beautiful and so strange
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that they seem to exist beyond human logic itself. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Garden of Paradise, the Tree of Life, and celestial creatures
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: made of fire that accompanied the movement of the Sun
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: through the universe. After the dark regions of the Second Heaven,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Enoch continues ascending, and then for the first time, the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: journey reveals something resembling wonder, the Third Heaven. According to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the Book of the Secrets, it is there that Enoch
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: sees Paradise, a garden unlike anything on earth. The text
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: describes impossible trees, indescribable fragrances, luminous rivers, and at the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: center of that place the Tree of Life, symbol connected
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: since genesis to eternity and the divine presence. But there
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is something deeply strange about this vision because Paradise is
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: not alone. According to Enoch, near that place of absolute beauty,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: there is also a region of punishment, darkness, torment angels
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: carrying out judgment upon the wicked, as if Heaven revealed
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: two separate destinies coexisting side by side, life and condemnation,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: light and darkness. And perhaps this contrast is one of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the most disturbing parts of the text because it suggests
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that the spiritual universe possesses organized regions for reward and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: also for judgment. But then the assent continues and Enoch
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: arrives at the Fourth Heaven, and this is where the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: narrative becomes truly cosmic. According to the text, the fourth
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Heaven is the realm of Celestia, movements the domain of
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the Sun and the Moon, but not as silent celestial bodies.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: In second Enoch, they are part of a living system, administered, governed,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: observed by celestial beings. And then some of the most
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: mysterious creatures of the entire journey appear the Phoenixes and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the Chalkidri, gigantic beings described as living solar creatures with
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: flaming appearances, shining like liquid fire. According to the text,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: these creatures accompany the movement of the Sun, singing continuously
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: before it, like celestial guardians, connected to the light of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the cosmos. And the description is so strange, so different
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: from ordinary human imagination, that for centuries scholars have tried
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to understand what exactly Enoch was seeing. Literal creatures, spiritual symbols,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: representations of celestial mechanisms. The tech never fully explains, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the impact remains. Because the higher Enoch ascends, the less
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: human the universe appears more vast, more ancient, more incomprehensible,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: And perhaps that is exactly what makes the second Book
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of Enoch so fascinating. It does not merely describe angels.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It describes an entire cosmos functioning beyond human perception, creatures
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: associated with the stars, beings connected to light, invisible orders
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: governing the heavens, as if all creation were alive before God.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: But then the higher Enoch rises, the heavier the atmosphere
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: becomes once again because in the next levels he would
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: encounter beings who once held great authority in the heavens,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: but now live in silence. The Watchers gigantic angels, marked
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: by sorrow and by the consequences of their own fall.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: After beholding the movements of the cosmos. In the fourth heaven,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Enoch continues ascending, but the next levels bring no beauty.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They bring silence, a heavy silence, ancient al most sorrowful.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: In the fifth heaven, Enoch encounters beings unlike any other
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: angels he had seen before, The Watchers, gigantic, imposing but broken.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: The text describes thousands of them standing motionless, like defeated
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: soldiers after an ancient war. Their faces carry sadness, shame, burden,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and when Enoch asks who these beings are, the answer
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: directly connects this vision to the ancient stories of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: rebellious Angels. According to the account, these Watchers abandoned their
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: original purpose. Some took part in the celestial rebellion, others
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: followed leaders who became corrupted, and now they remain in
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that state of silence and lamentation, not completely destroyed, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: separate from the glory they once possessed, and there is
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a very interesting detail in this moment of the narrative.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The angels accompanying Enoch command him to speak to the watchers,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: as if a man from Earth had authority to remind
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: them of the greatness of God. So Enoch exhorts them,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and for the first time, those gigantic beings begin to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: worship once again. It is a deeply symbolic scene, as
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: if even celestial beings could fall and carry eternal consequences
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: for their choices. But the ascent does not end there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Enoch continues rising, and upon reaching the sixth Heaven, the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: atmosphere changes once again. Now everything appears perfectly organized, precise ordered.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: According to the text, this heaven is occupied by angelic
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: hosts responsible for the functioning of the universe, Angels assigned
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: over the stars, the seasons, the cycles of time, the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: records of humanity, like cosmic administrators, constantly operating above creation.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And perhaps this is one of the most fascinating ideas
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in the entire second book of Enoch. The universe does
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: not appear as something mechanical or empty. It functions like
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a gigantic living order. Every movement of the stars, every
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: season of the earth, every change in the heavens would
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: be connected to spiritual intelligences serving before God. And the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: more Enoch observes, the more he realizes that an absolute
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: hierarchy exists in the heavens. Nothing is out of order,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: nothing happens without purpose. Every angel has a function, Every
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: region possesses authority, as if all creation operated in perfect
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: submission to the divine throne. But then something begins to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: change once more, the light intensifies, the atmosphere becomes almost unbearable.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: The angels surrounding Enoch themselves seem different, now more powerful,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: closer to the divine presence, and Enoch realizes that he
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is approaching the highest levels of the heavens, regions inhabited
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: by beings before whom even the watchers seem small, archangels, cherubim, seraphim,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: countless hosts continually surrounding divine glory. And there is a problem.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: No ordinary man should be able to survive in that place.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But the higher Enoch ascends, the more he himself begins
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to change. After the sixth heaven, Enoch's journey enters around
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that the text itself describes as almost impossible to endure.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The light changes, the space changes, everything feels more alive,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: more intense, as if the higher heavens existed beyond human
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: reality itself. In the Seven heaven, Eno sees countless hosts
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of angels, thousands, millions, beings of fire and light, continually
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: worshiping before the divine throne. The sound is described as
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: powerful yet perfectly harmonious. There is no chaos, no confusion,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Everything functions in absolute order, and there Enoch begins to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: behold even higher angelic orders, archangels, cherubim, seraphim, being so
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: close to the divine presence that their very appearance seems
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to consume the space around them. Some possess multiple wings,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: others shine like molten metal, and all remain in constant worship,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: as if the entire universe revolved around the glory of God.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But the higher Enoch ascends, the more evident, a terrifying
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: reality becomes. The human body does not belong in that place.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: The celestial presence becomes overwhelming, the life seems to pierce
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: through everything. The fear increases, and then the text describes
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: something deeply strange. Enoch begins to be transformed. According to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the account, the angels remove his earthly garments, anoint his
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: body with celestial oil and clothe him with glory, as
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: if a man needed to leave part of his human
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: nature behind in order to continue advancing through the higher heavens.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: This is one of the most important moments in the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: entire narrative, because the journey ceases to be merely a
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: spiritual voyage. It becomes a transformation. Enoch is not merely
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: seeing the heavens. The heavens are changing Enoch, and this
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: creates a fascinating idea within the Second Book of Enoch.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: The nearness of the divine presence alters everything it touches.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Nothing remains the same before it, and as he ascends
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: through the eighth and ninth Heavens, the text practically abandons
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: ordinary human descriptions. The regions become so vast that words
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: themselves seem insufficient. Light upon light, countless thrones, angels beyond comprehension,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: hierarchies impossible to measure, as if Enoch were approaching the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: very center of spiritual reality itself, and then he perceived
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: something even more terrifying. All those celestial beings, even the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: most powerful among them, demonstrate fear before a greater presence
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: still above them, God himself, and in that moment, Enoch
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: understands that he has not yet reached the highest point
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of the journey. There is one final heaven above all
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the others, the tenth Heaven, the place of the Divine Throne,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the realm no man should behold, And the angels around
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: him seem to know this, because the closer they approach,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the more silent they become, as if even the heavens
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: feared what lay ahead. And then Enoch finally arrives before
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the presence that sustains all creation, the face of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Lord in the tenth Heaven. Enoch's journey finally reaches its end,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: but what he finds there resembles nothing the human mind
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: can fully describe. According to the Book of the Secrets,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: above all the other heavens exists the place of the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Divine Throne, the highest region of creation, the absolute center
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of all authority. And when Enoch enters that place, the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: text describes a silence unlike any other, not empty, but overwhelming,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: as if all creation stood in reverence before the presence
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: sustaining the entire universe. Then Enoch sees the Throne, a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: structure surrounded by living fire, indescribable light, glory impossible to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: gaze upon directly and surrounding the throne. Countless hosts of
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: angels remain in continuous worship, Seraphim, cherubim, archangels, all covered
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in reverence before the divine presence. But the most astonishing
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: part of the vision is the way the text describes
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: God himself not as an ordinary man, not as a
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: limited figure, but as a presence, like blazing white fire, radiant,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: like molten metal, powerful, beyond comprehension, a glory so intense
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that Enoch falls face down to the ground, and in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that moment he believes he will not survive, because no
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: man should behold that no human being should be able
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to remain before that presence. But then something happens once again.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: According to the account, God commands Enoch to come closer,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and the angels strengthen him, as if his very existence
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: were being supernaturally sustained to in duceure that encounter, And
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: then the text enters one of the most mysterious parts
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: of the entire narrative. Enoch receives knowledge celestial secrets, mysteries
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: about creation, about the cycles of the universe, about the angels,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: about the destiny of humanity, as if he were beholding
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the invisible structure of reality before the divine throne itself.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And after this Enoch is no longer described merely as
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a man. He has been transformed by the journey, changed
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: by the glory he witnessed. According to some ancient traditions,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: he ceases to be only Enoch and becomes a celestial scribe,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a man eternally marked by the presence of heaven. But
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: perhaps the most fascinating part of the entire story is
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: not only what Enoch saw, but the fact that he returns.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He comes back to Earth, returns to mankind carrying knowledge
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that no other human being had received in the way,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and this completely transforms the tone of the second Book
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of Enoch, because the journey through the heavens is not
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: merely a fantastic vision. It functions as revelation, as warning,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: as a reminder that there exists an invisible reality far
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: greater than the physical world, celestial hierarchies, invisible orders, judgments, mysteries,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and regions of creation that perhaps we will never fully understand.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: And perhaps that is exactly why the accounts of Enoch
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: continue to fascinate so many people thousands of years later
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: because they touch on a deeply human question, what truly
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: exists beyond the world we can see? And now I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: want to know your opinion. Which of the ten heavens
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: impressed you the most? And do you believe Enoch truly
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: saw these things or do you think it was all symbolic?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Leave your thoughts in the comments. I'll see you again
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: soon
