Did you know there's an apparent prediction or prophecy about Jesus in the Book of Enoch? It says that the "messiah" would appear 70 generations after Enoch lived and would judge the evil spirits who corrupted mankind before the flood (a reference to Genesis 6:1-4). This Enoch prophecy about Jesus actually appears to have been fulfilled in Luke's Gospel. Luke Chapter 3 contains the genealogy of Jesus, and the number of generations between Enoch and Jesus is... you guessed it... 70! Does this mean Enoch's prophecy came true? Maybe... there are several other possibilities though. Some numbers had a specific symbolic meaning during the Biblical period, and the number 70 was associated with God's judgment. Could Luke have been attempting to depict Jesus as the ultimate judge of evil? Peter seemed to think Jesus did in fact judge the evil spirits mentioned in Enoch who corrupted man before the flood (see 1 Peter 3:19), so was this the judgment Enoch spoke of, or something else? Maybe all of the above? This short video presents three possibilities as to what this mysterious prophecy might mean.
