Forbidden Knowledge: Why the Ethiopian Bible Was Banned!

imagine there's a Bible not like the one you know but one that holds the key to some of the most astonishing revelations in Christian history truths so profound that they were locked away for centuries hidden from the world this Bible isn't the familiar one with 66 books that you find in most Christian Traditions no this one contains 88 books including texts that were banned suppressed and deemed too dangerous by early Christian leaders but why what if I told you that within these baned books are secrets about Fallen Angels the Nephilim and prophecies that describe the

end of the world in ways you've never heard before what if these books revealed hidden knowledge of the cosmic battle between good and evil details of heavenly hierarchies and the role of angels and demons in shaping the fate of humanity today we are going to uncover the hidden books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible a Bible that contains books filled with Mysteries that have been lost to most of the Christian world for centuries but why were these Books banned what was it about these texts that made western church leaders so uncomfortable that they excluded them from

the Bible we know today Stay With Me Because by the end of this video you'll understand understand the real reasons why these books were considered so dangerous and the astonishing Revelations they contain that could change how you see the entire Bible let's begin with this while most Christians know the Christian Standard Bible or the King James Bible which both contain 66 books 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible includes an incredible 88 books that's right 22 extra books and these aren't just footnotes or additional commentaries these are

fully fledged sacred texts that were once revered but later banned from mainstream Christianity some of these books were part of early Jewish and Christian tradition used by communities for centuries they contain prophecies Cosmic visions and stories of the ancient world that you won't find anywhere else but these were books that early church councils particularly after the Council of NAA in 325 ad deemed too controversial too mystical or too closely tied to Jewish Traditions but Ethiopia's connection to the Bible goes much further back than you might think before European colonization long before Christianity spread through the

Roman Empire the ancient Kingdom of Ethiopia had already developed a spiritual tradition linked directly to the Bible the roots of Ethiopian Christianity stretch all the way back to the fourth Century a when the kingdom of axom officially adopted Christianity as its state religion in fact Ethiopia became one of the first nations in the world to adopt Christianity centuries before many Western Nations and from that time the Bible written in gay AES and ancient Ethiopian language became Central to Ethiopian religious life but Ethiopia's connection to Biblical history likely goes even further Beyond Christianity itself according to

ancient Ethiopian tradition this connection begins with the Queen of Sheba who traveled from Ethiopia to visit King Solomon in Jerusalem around the 10th Century BC this visit is mentioned briefly in the western Bible but Ethiopian tradition expands on the story the Ethiopian Bible goes so far as to tell us that the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon had a child menelik the F who would become the first emperor of Ethiopia but here's where it gets even more interesting menelik is said to have brought the Ark of the Covenant yes the ark that held the stone

tablets of the Ten Commandments back to Ethiopia for Ethiopians this this wasn't just a historical event it was a Divine Mission Ethiopia according to their tradition was chosen by God to be the protector of the Ark of the Covenant directly linking Ethiopia's spiritual Destiny to Israel's sacred history so with such a profound connection to biblical law it's no surprise that Ethiopia became a spiritual stronghold a nation that not only embraced Christianity early but also became the guardian of ancient texts that other Christian Traditions eventually rejected as Ethiopia stood apart from Western European influence it preserved

these sacred books in its Orthodox Bible these texts remained a part of Ethiopian religious life for centuries even as they were slowly pushed out of the Western Christian Cannon but that brings us to the question why were these books excluded from the standard Bible the reasons are as complex as they are fascinating some of these books were banned because they contain ideas that were seen as too mystical or too speculative books like The Book of Enoch describe Celestial beings fallen angels and the Nephilim Mysterious Giant beings that were The Offspring of humans and Angels these

apocalyptic Visions delve into the secrets of Heaven and Hell the origins of sin sin and God's final judgment which was seen as too dangerous for the early church to endorse others were banned because they stayed too close to Judaism books like jubilees and macbes emphasize the strict observance of Jewish laws such as the Sabbath dietary practices and circumcision at a time when the early Christian Church was trying to distinguish itself from Judaism these texts were seen as a threat to the new identity that Christianity was building finally some of these books were seen as a

threat to Orthodoxy to the unified doctrine that the early church was trying to establish the church leaders feared that including these books might lead to diverse interpretations of theology particularly regarding the role of Angels the afterlife and God's Divine judgment allowing these books to remain in the cannon could have opened the door to heresy or Vision within the early church but there's more during the colonial era when European powers particularly Italy sought to dominate Ethiopia the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible itself became a Target it was viewed as a spiritual threat to European control the Bible's unique

content which tied Ethiopia spiritually to Israel and early Christianity symbolized resistance to European religious and cultural dominance by marginalizing Ethiopia's Orthodox Bible Colonial forces sought to suppress Ethiopian religious Independence and enforce Western religious views so what are the secrets these banned books contain why did church leaders in the west fear them so much could it be that these ancient texts reveal hidden prophecies descriptions of celestial beings and details about the end of the world that too powerful for us to ignore this is deep Bible stories don't forget to like this video subscribe and share it

with anyone who's ready to dive deep into the Bible's hidden secrets to understand why the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible includes so many books that were excluded from the standard Christian Bible we first need to explore Ethiopia's unique place in biblical and Christian history let's begin in the 4th Century a d a time when much of the world had yet to fully Embrace Christianity in the midst of this the kingdom of axom a powerful civilization located in what is now modern-day Ethiopia became one of the first nations in the world to officially adopt Christianity as its state

religion this moment solidified Ethiopia's identity as a Christian Nation and made it one of the oldest continuously Christian countries on Earth Earth but how did this come to be according to ancient Ethiopian history the spread of Christianity into Ethiopia was not a result of European missionaries as many might assume instead the Ethiopian Orthodox Church traces its roots back to the Apostle philli and the conversion of the Ethiopian unic as recorded in Acts 8 26-40 this Ethiopian Court official baptized by Philip brought the Christian faith back to Ethiopia marking the beginning of the Ethiopian Christian tradition

within a few centuries this small movement became the state religion of the powerful Kingdom of axom it was through the Coptic Church of Alexandria that Christianity formerly took root in Ethiopia leading to the translation of the Bible into gayes the ancient Ethiopian language and as Christianity spread throughout the axumite kingdom it wasn't just the 66 books that were included in their Bible Ethiopia's unique history meant that it had access to a wide range of Jewish and early Christian texts many of which were later discarded or banned by the western church these books were seen as

too mystical too controversial or too closely tied to Jewish Traditions but Ethiopia held on to these sacred texts preserving them as part of its spiritual heritage this early adoption of Christianity also helped Ethiopia maintain its spiritual independence from the rest of the Christian world as the Roman Empire and the western church work to solidify a single biblical Cannon Ethiopia remained on the periphery of these debates free to preserve its ancient traditions and texts as a result the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible contains not only the familiar books of the Old and New Testaments but also additional texts

that offer profound insights into early Jewish and Christian theology but Ethiopia's connection to Biblical history goes even deeper than the early spread of Christianity to understand the full picture we have to go back much further a thousand years before Christ in fact according to Ethiopian tradition the roots of Ethiopia's biblical connection begin with a remarkable woman the queen of Shabba this powerful Queen is mentioned briefly in the western Bible in First Kings 101-113 and 2 Chronicles 9 according to these accounts she traveled from the distant land of Sheba believed by Ethiopians to be modernday Ethiopia

and Yemen to meet the great King Solomon in Jerusalem but while the Western Bible gives us only a glimpse of her visit the Ethiopian Bible Tells A much richer story according to the KRA Nast an ancient Ethiopian text that forms a Cornerstone of Ethiopia's National and spiritual identity the Queen of Sheba known in Ethiopia as Mada and King Solomon had a child together menelik who would go on to become the first emperor of Ethiopia what makes this story even more extraordinary is the claim that when menelik Grew Older he visited his father Solomon in Jerusalem

upon his return to Ethiopia he is said to have brought with him one of the most important artifacts in all of Biblical history The Arc of the Covenant that's right according to Ethiopian tradition the Ark of the Covenant the sacred chest that held the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments has been kept in Ethiopia for centuries this deep and enduring connection to Israel's sacred history has shaped Ethiopian Christianity in profound ways for Ethiopians the Ark of the Covenant represents a Divine mission that links Ethiopia directly to God's chosen people Israel Ethiopia sees itself not as

a peripheral Nation but as a central player in God's plan for the world a nation that was chosen to protect the ark and Pres preserve the ancient truths of the Bible while Western Christianity was busy shaping and narrowing the biblical Cannon Ethiopia was safeguarding the full breadth of early Christian and Jewish texts and because of Ethiopia's relative isolation from Europe it was able to resist the pressures to conform to the Council of Nia's decisions regarding the cannon the Council of NAA held in 325 ad was a pivotal moment for Christian ity in the Roman Empire

it was here that church leaders came together to solidify Christian doctrine and eventually to decide which books would be considered inspired and which would be left out the western church began to shape a Bible that was stripped of texts deemed too Jewish too mystical or too speculative books like The Book of Enoch the book of jubilees and the macbes were seen as problematic for various reasons whether they delve too deep deeply into the nature of Angels or emphasize strict Jewish observances but Ethiopia was largely unaffected by these decisions it remained connected to its Coptic Christian

Roots which allowed it to hold on to a much wider range of biblical texts this is why the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible includes not only the 66 books found in the Christian Standard Bible but also 22 additional books that were event ually banned or excluded from the Western Cannon Ethiopia became a spiritual stronghold a place where ancient Traditions could be preserved without the influence of Western European doctrines this is why the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible stands apart from the Bibles used by most of the Christian world today it is a Living testament to a Christian tradition that

has remained rooted in the early days of the faith Untouched by many of the theological debates and political struggles that shaped the Western Bible the fact that the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible still includes these Bann and excluded texts is not just an interesting historical Quirk it's a reminder that there were once many different interpretations of what should be included in the Bible and that many of the texts that were discarded by the western church still have profound spiritual significance for instance the Book of Enoch offers a vivid description of Fallen Angels their interactions with humanity and

their eventual judgment it is a text that influenced early Christian thought about the nature of evil and the end times meanwhile the book of jubilees provides a Jewish perspective on Biblical history that includes new insights into the lives of the Patriarchs and the importance of angelic beings in guiding Humanity these texts offer us a glimpse into a lost part of Christian history a time when theology was still being formed and the boundaries of Orthodoxy were still being debated for Ethiopia these books were never band they have always been a part of its religious life and

have been treated with the same reverence as the more familiar texts of the Old and New Testaments so why exactly will these Books banned what was it about these sacred texts that led the western church to declare them unfit for the Bible the reasons are as complex as they are fascinating involving not just theological concerns but also political and cultural struggles in this section we'll dive deep into the real reasons why these books were pushed aside by the early Christian leaders and why Ethiopia chose to keep them one of the first reasons these books were

excluded has to do with their mystical content the deeply spiritual and often speculative nature of their teachings many of the ban texts like The Book of Enoch and the Book of jubilees explore themes that can be considered esoteric focusing heavily on the celestial realm the hierarchy of angels and the interactions between Heavenly beings and Humanity for instance in The Book of Enoch we find a vivid account of the Watchers a group of Fallen Angels who descended to Earth interacted with humans and ultimately led to widespread corruption through their offspring the Nephilim these angels not only

rebelled against God but they also imparted forbidden knowledge to humans such as the secrets of warfare magic and astrology this type of narrative is far removed from the more straightforward message message of Salvation that dominates the Western Bible the western church particularly after the Council of nah in 325 a viewed these speculative teachings with suspicion they were seen as distractions from the core tenets of the Christian faith the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ early Christian leaders feared that focusing too much on Angels Cosmic battles and the ocalypse would confuse Believers or lead them

into mystical interpretations of scripture diverting attention away from the message of Salvation this emphasis on speculative theology led the western church to exclude books like The Book of Enoch which was once widely read by early Christian communities particularly among the Asen a Jewish sect that many scholars believe influenced early Christian thought while books like like Enoch offered detailed insights into the spiritual Realms and the fall of Angels the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches eventually decided that these books offered too much speculation on the Unseen World in contrast Ethiopia viewed these texts not as distractions

but as integral parts of understanding the spiritual battle between good and evil Ethiopian Christianity embraced the mystical elements of these texts understanding that they shed light on the Heavenly realm and the Mysterious workings of God's creation another significant reason many of these books were banned is because of their close ties to Jewish Traditions books like the book of jubilees and the mccabes emphasize strict adherence to Jewish laws such as the Sabbath circumcision and dietary practices these books were written in a time when Judaism was not yet fully separated from what would become Christianity and they

reflect a worldview that places great importance on following the Mosaic law for example the book of jubilees also known as little Genesis presents a retelling of Biblical history from creation to the giving of the law at Mount Si but it goes further than the familiar stories found in Genesis and exodus jubilees insists on the importance of Jewish festivals the Sabbath and ritual Purity in ways that make it clear that these laws are to be followed eternally it also introduces a solar calendar a 364-day year that it claims was the original system God set for the

Jewish people in contrast to the lunar calendar adopted later as early Christianity developed it sought to distance itself from Judaism the early Christian Movement wanted to open itself up to Gentiles and this meant moving away from strict observance of Jewish customs and laws the Apostle Paul himself argued for the freedom from the law preaching that salvation came through faith in Christ rather than through adherence to the Mosaic law as the western church took shape books that emphasized Jewish laws like jubilees and mccabes were seen as unnecessary relics of the past Ethiopia however retained a much

closer connection to Judaism the Ethiopian Orthodox Church traces its lineage back to King Solomon through menelik fur the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba because of this Ethiopia's Christian tradition has always been deeply rooted in Jewish practices and it sees no need to distance itself from them as a result these texts remained part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible providing Ethiopians with a rich tradition that Embraces both Old Testament law and Christian salvation in fact the macbes are particularly revered in Ethiopia while Western Christianity largely relegated these texts to the apocryphal section Ethiopia continued

to use them as important reminders of Jewish resistance faithfulness to God's law and divine intervention in the face of persecution the macbes were celebrated as Heroes who defended the Jewish faith from being wiped out by Foreign rulers and their story remains deeply inspirational to Ethiopian Christians today another major reason these books were banned is that they were seen as a threat to Christian Orthodoxy the early church was in a period of transition and consolidation and it was vital to establish a unified doctrine that could hold the faith together as Christianity spread across the Roman Empire

different sects and interpretations began to arise some of which were seen as heretical by the emerging Orthodox Church many of the books included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible present alternative theological views that the western church feared could confuse or divide the early Christian communities for example example some of these texts offer different interpretations of the afterlife Divine judgment and the role of angels The Book of Enoch for example goes into great detail about the Watchers the fallen angels and the Nephilim Concepts that were seen as too speculative for the emerging Christian doctrine the early church

leaders wanted to ensure that the focus remained on Christ's message of Salvation not on what they saw as mic speculation about angels and Heavenly Realms the goal was to create a unified faith that would be consistent across all Christian communities and that meant excluding texts that offered alternative narratives or placed too much emphasis on the Unseen spiritual world this is why the Council of NAA and later Church councils were so important they helped solidify a Christian cannon that was intended to guide Believers toward a clear understand understanding of Christ's role in Salvation history but in

doing so they excluded books that explored the spiritual Mysteries of the universe focusing instead on the more immediate teachings of the Gospel Ethiopia however did not see these books as a threat to Orthodoxy in fact the Ethiopian Church believed that these texts deepened the understanding of God's Cosmic plan revealing insights into the Angelic realm the Judgment of fallen angels and the end times for Ethiopia these books were never meant to be speculative distractions but were seen as complimentary to the teachings of the New Testament offering a fuller picture of the cosmic struggle between good and

evil lastly we can't Overlook the role that colonialism played in marginalizing the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible during the colonial era particularly during Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries the Ethiopian Orthodox church and its sacred texts were seen as barriers to European dominance for European Colonial Powers Ethiopia's spiritual Independence and its connection to ancient Christian Traditions represented a form of resistance Ethiopia was not a passive Colony waiting to be civilized by European missionaries it was a Christian Nation with its own unique and ancient Traditions that predated much of Europe's Christian history

the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible was seen as a symbol of defiance as it tied Ethiopia directly to Israel and to the early Christian Church a connection that was spiritually powerful and politically inconvenient for European colonizers by marginalizing or Banning the Ethiopian Bible Colonial forces sought to weaken Ethiopia's spiritual identity and enforce Western religious views in the same way that Ethiopia's physical resistance to Colonial rule made it a symbol of African Independence its religious resistance through the preservation of its Orthodox Bible made it a spiritual stronghold Ethiopia's unique Bible filled with banned books and extra texts was

seen as a threat to the Western religious order one that challenged the dominance of Catholicism and protestantism do you think Colonial forces were threatened by the spiritual independence of Ethiopia share your thoughts on how this played a role in the suppression of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible now that we've explored why these books were banned it's time to dive into the secrets these books hold each of the texts within the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible offers profound Revelations about spiritual Realms ancient history and God's divine plan let's take a deeper look at these ban books and what they

reveal about the Unseen World prophecies and even the end of days you'll see why Ethiopia preserved them and why they're more important now than ever perhaps the most famous of the band books The Book of Enoch takes us deep into the cosmic order and the Heavenly Realms but this is not a simple vision of Angels and Demons this book gives us a detailed look at the rebellion of angels their interactions with humans and their eventual judgment the first section of Enoch known as the book of Watchers begins with a startling Revelation 200 angels known as

the Watchers were sent by God to watch over Humanity however they Fell From Grace when they became infatuated with human women these angels led by semjaza defied God's command and descended to Earth where they took human wives and produced the Nephilim a race of giants described as violent corrupt and destructive what makes this story so powerful is that these Fallen Angels didn't just break God's laws they also imparted forbidden knowledge to humanity they taught humans the secrets of warfare sorcery cosmetics and astrology all seen as Corruptions of God's natural order this knowledge are passed down

by the Fallen Angels caused Chaos on earth and the Nephilim the violent offspring of angels and humans contributed to the moral decay of the world their violence and wickedness was so great that God decided to send the great flood to cleanse the Earth Earth of their influence but before the flood God sent the archangels Michael Gabriel Raphael and Uriel to intervene their task to capture the rebellious Watchers and bind them in the abyss where they would remain until the day of judgment these Watchers along with their offspring were seen as so corrupt that God wiped

them from the face of the Earth but their legacy continues to haunt Humanity would you like us to do an entire video diving deeper into the Book of Enoch and the rebellion of the Angels let us know in the comments in another section of Enoch known as the book of Parables we get a glimpse into the apocalyptic visions of Enoch where he foretells the coming of a Messianic figure called the son of man this figure is portrayed as a Divine judge who will execute judgment over both humans and angels what's fascinating is how closely this

son of man resembles Jesus Christ who is referred to by the same title in the New Testament Enoch's Vision speaks of a final judgment where the wicked including the fallen angels are cast into a fiery Abyss while the righteous inherit eternal life this section of Enoch paints a vivid picture of the cosmic battle between good and evil where the Angels demons and humans all face their final judgment Before the Throne of God one of the Lesser known sections of Enoch the astronomical book reveals the secrets of the cosmos Enoch is shown the divine order of

the stars planets and Seasons describing a solar calendar that is meant to keep Humanity in alignment with the Divine rhythm of creation this section describes the movements of the heavenly bodies which are controlled by Angelic forces the sun moon and stars don't just move at random they follow a precise pattern established by God and enforced by his angels the book even warns that humans must follow the solar calendar rather than the Luna one to remain in sync with God's creation the Ethiopian Orthodox Church still follows this solar calendar today a testament to its ancient roots

in Enoch's Revelations next we turn to the book of jubilees this is no ordinary history book it's an indepth retelling of biblical events from creation to the giving of the law at sin but with a focus on the spiritual timeline of God's universe and the Eternal importance of the law at the heart of jubilees is the concept that time itself is governed by an Angelic calendar God reveals to Moses on Mount siai that the true measure of time is not based on the lunar calendar which was later adopted by the Israelites but on a solar

cycle this is a 364-day year divided into periods of jubilees cycles of 49 years the book emphasizes that adhering to this calendar is crucial to maintaining the order that God created why does this matter according to jubilees the misalignment of time using a lunar calendar instead of a solar one leads Humanity to fall out of SN with God's divine plan the Ethiopian calendar used to this day by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church follows this solar cycle reflecting the belief that correct timekeeping is essential for remaining in alignment with the divine order could it be that we've

been using the wrong calendar for centuries is the world out of sync with God original plan in addition to revealing the cosmic timeline jubilees tells us that Angels would deeply involved in guiding the Patriarchs long before Moses Angels taught Adam Noah and Abraham how to observe the sabbath offer sacrifices and follow Purity laws these laws weren't just for the Israelites they were part of God's Eternal law that had been revealed to the righteous from the very beginning this close involvement of angels emphasizes that God's law is timeless it predates the Mosaic Covenant and remains unchanged

even before Mount Si God's law was known and followed by those who were in communion with him Guided by the angels of his presence the books of macbes are stories of heroic resistance and divine intervention these texts tell the story of the Jewish revolt against foreign rulers first in Judea under the solids and later in Egypt under the toic dynasty what's fascinating is that in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible we have not just two but three books of mbes each offering a unique perspective on faith under persecution the first book of macbes recounts the macban Revolt

one of the most famous episodes in Jewish history in 167 BC the seusd King Antiochus IV epiphanies attempted to force the Jews to abandon their religion and adopt helenistic customs in response Judas macabus led a Guerilla war against the seusd empire miraculously reclaiming the temple in Jerusalem and restoring Jewish worship this Victory is still celebrated today in the Festival of Hanukah which commemorates the the miraculous burning of oil for 8 days during the rededication of the temple the second book of mccabes shifts Focus to the martyrs those who gave their lives rather than abandon their

faith in God the most heart-wrenching story is that of the seven brothers and their mother who were tortured for refusing to eat pork in defiance of Jewish law one by one they faced horrific deaths but each brother proclaimed their faith in the resurrection knowing they would be rewarded in eternity this book also tells of visions of angels and divine intervention in the mccabes battles reinforcing the belief that their victories were due to God's intervention the third book of macbes takes us to Egypt where the Jewish people faced persecution under Tommy I fourth the most dramatic

moment comes when Tommy orders the Jews to be tra led by drunken elephants but in a miraculous turn of events the elephants turn against the Egyptians saving the Jewish people from certain death the Ascension of Isaiah is one of the most mystical and apocalyptic books in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible it tells the story of the Prophet Isaiah's Visionary Journey Through the seven Heavens where he Witnesses the cosmic battle between good and evil and receives a prophecy about the Messiah descent to earth Isaiah is taken by an Angel through each of the seven Heavens where he

encounters various ranks of Angels the Fallen ones and finally reaches the seventh heaven where he beholds the Throne of God the description of the seraphim cherubim and other Celestial beings offers one of the most detailed accounts of the Heavenly hierarchy in early Christian literature but the climax of Isaiah's vision is The Descent of the Messiah Isaiah sees the Son of God descend from the seventh heaven taking on human form living a humble life and ultimately suffering death at the hands of Satan's forces but the vision doesn't end there Isaiah Witnesses the messiah's victory over Satan

his resurrection and his return to heaven where he is exalted as the ruler of all finally we turn to the book of baroo and the letter of Jeremiah these two texts were written during the Babylonian exile offering powerful Reflections on sin repentance and the consequences of idolatry in baruk we find a lament over the destruction of Jerusalem coupled with a heartfelt confession of sins the text emphasizes that the Exile was not just a political disaster it was the result of Israel's Disobedience to God but baroo also offers a message of Hope if the people repent

and return to God they will be restored the letter of Jeremiah delivers a stark warning against idolatry Jeremiah mocks the pagan gods of Babylon pointing out their powerlessness and lifelessness he urges the Exiles to remain faithful to the one true God who alone can deliver them from their suffering as we've explored the incredible depth of the books included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible one thing becomes clear these texts hold far more than just ancient stories they contain prophecies spiritual insights and warnings that resonate not only with the early Christian and Jewish communities but with us

today in fact many of the themes found in these books speak directly to the modern world and may even hold the keys to understanding future prophetic events one of the most striking features of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible is its detailed exploration of the Angelic realm and the ongoing spiritual battle between good and evil books like The Book of Enoch the Ascension of Isaiah and jubilees all offer vivid descriptions of angelic hierarchies fallen angels and their influence on the world but why does this matter today in many ways the battle between good and evil has not

ended the idea of spiritual warfare Angels and Demons influencing human events is still a central theme in Christian theology while these band books may seem otherworldly or too speculative for some they shed light on the hidden forces that are still at play in our world today Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms could it be that the book of Enoch's description of the Watchers their rebellion

and the corruption they spread among Humanity still has modern relevance could these texts provide us with a deeper understanding of the spiritual battle that is happening all around us even now several of the Bann books in the Ethiopian Orthodox bible contain prophecies about the end times and these prophecies seem to offer clues that align with both biblical eschatology and current events in the Book of Enoch we see detailed visions of the coming judgment where both humans and fallen angels will face their final Reckoning the description of the son of man executing Divine Jud judgment over

the wicked paints a clear picture of the Messianic role that Jesus would later fulfill in the New Testament but Enoch's prophecies don't stop there they include detailed visions of the final battle between good and evil the destruction of evil forces and the ultimate restoration of righteousness on Earth similarly the Ascension of Isaiah gives us a dramatic vision of the messiah's journey from the Heavenly realms to Earth where he battles Satan and eventually triumphs over him these Visions speak of a cosmic conflict that is not bound by time but is still unfolding as we speak in

today's world where we are witnessing unprecedented Global conflicts natural disasters and spiritual unrest many are asking are we living in the end times could the prophecies found in these B books be pointing us toward the final events of human history many scholars believe that we're living in an age where biblical prophecy is being fulfilled and the books we've explored may offer additional insight into what's to come if we look closely at current events Wars earthquakes plagues many of them align with the descriptions found in Enoch's visions of the end times another critical theme in these

band books especially in the book of jubilees is the importance of faithfulness to God's law while the western church moved away from the Jewish laws that were so Central to early Christianity the Ethiopian Orthodox Church maintained its close ties to these ancient Traditions the laws of the Sabbath dietary practices and even the solar calendar that are outlined in jubilees reflect a deep commitment to keeping God's commands in their purist form for modern Believers these texts raise important questions are we living in alignment with God's laws have we strayed too far from the foundational principles that

were given to humanity from the beginning and what would it mean to return to these practices jubilees insists that the laws given to Adam Noah and Abraham were not temporary but were meant to be observed Forever This raises the provocative question should Christians today be following the same Commandments that were given to the Patriarchs has modern Christianity lost something by moving away from the strict observance of God's law finally let's talk about what it means that these books have been preserved in Ethiopia as we've seen the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible is a spiritual treasure that holds

many of the texts that were excluded by Western Christianity but Ethiopia's role in preserving these texts goes far beyond religious tradition it represents a profound Act of spiritual Defiance against the forces that sought to erase these ancient truths during the colonial period as European powers attempted to impose their religious and political dominance over Africa the Ethiopian Orthodox Church became a symbol of resistance the preservation of these sacred texts was not just an act of religious Dev Devon it was a declaration of independence Ethiopia held on to the ancient truths of the Bible even as the

rest of the Christian World abandoned them it suggests that the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible May hold insights that were meant to be protected for this very moment in history as the world faces unprecedented challenges perhaps the time has come for these hidden text T to come to light we've taken a deep dive into the ban books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible from the mystical visions of Enoch to the Prophecies of Isaiah to the heroic resistance of the macbes each of these books holds secrets and Revelations that challenge our understanding of the Bible and Christian history but

these texts may be more than just relics of the past they may hold the keys to understanding the future as we Face a world World filled with uncertainty spiritual unrest and growing global conflict it's worth asking have we been missing something could these ban books help us understand the spiritual battles happening all around us could they provide insight into the end times and God's ultimate plan for the world thank you for watching deep Bible stories if this exploration of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible has opened your eyes to new possib abilities don't forget to like subscribe
