 Enoch has been Bamboozeld April 25, 2009
Silver Wings (Lost in a Sea of Heretics)
The lack of scholarship demonstrated by the Indus Khamit Kush speaks for itself. He makes assertions from out of the blue e.g. Enoch was from Ethiopia, the Hebrew were from Africa as he speaks words expecting them to magically come true. He cites no sources from anthropology and has not tapped into the current DNA tracings regarding migration of population. There are about a half dozen words in the Hebrew Scriptures regarding Enoch and Kush assumes he can create Enoch to a theology, a history but only succeeds in writing poor fiction. At every point he attempts to discredit the Hebrew-Christian scriptures and replace them with figments of his own imagination. The book itself is easy to read consisting of a staccato of quotations from unrelated sources which are taken out of their original context in a futile attempt make the book appear to be related to these scholars. He borrows from Dr. Hugh Nibley of the BYU and LDS camp in a manner which would embarrass the fine scholar. With a rush of quotations he tries to make the Point that the origins of man is in Ethiopia, the faith is from the same and the Hebrews and other nations were black which the may have been but i have not met anyone who can say yea or nea with certainty. Kush indicates the White man perverted the Holy Word of God and history to keep the black man subserviant. There is a method to his mad scholarship and his agenda is to hawk a true Bible in the hope the Black race will cast off the shakes of physical and mental enslavement to the White Supremacist. One of my joys is science fiction but this book lacks the science and is not written a manner to be called fiction. Trust me it is a boring read. If you want to spend money buy the translated Book of Enoch.

When ordering this book I thought I was going to get something else and was pleasantly surprised at the Scholarly work that I read. This book I believe belongs in every Black household across America. I love the Book of Enoch and am thankful for this expertise review of the facts on Race and how it may have played out in in even earlier times. The author traces the Semitic roots back to Africa, Ethiopia - Egypt that Enoch was indeed Black. This book in my opinion is a must read.

Although the author does not claim to be a scholar, or to have written a scholarly text on the subject at hand, you still expect opinions as radical and bizarre as hers to be supported by hard, irrefutable evidence. That is sorely lacking in this book.
To set the record straight:
1. Enoch was a "traditional Jew", both in family ancestry and religious heritage, not a black male from Ethiopia.
2. "The Book of Enoch" WAS found in Ethiopia in 1768 by a Scotsman( James Bruce) and was later translated by an Englishman (Canon R.H. Charles). But the author(s) was NOT an Ethiopan.
3. The author(s) of "The Book of Enoch" were certainly from the line of (Jewish) prophets.
This book is just another example in the recent ( falsified and heartbreakingly pathetic) trend of attempting to "Afrocentralize" the Scriptures. The few examples of black individuals that appear in Scripture are readily identified ( such as the Ethiopian eunuch led to Christ by Philip in Acts 8:27).
Biblical individuals should primarily be remembered for the important messages and lessons from God of which they write. But they deserve to be portrayed truthfully and accurately, not just to satisfy someone's racial or political agenda.
Thanks for reading
A good editor would have euthanized this wretched book December 13, 2007

This book was repetitive to the point where it seems the author wrote the book and never bothered to read it himself. If he had, surely he would have cut out much of the same clap trap. Horrible read... one star is too much.

I sent a review through a little while back but needed to edit. In summary I noted how he says that Abraham wasn't a prophet, showing that he is teaching based on traditional sermons and not one who studies the Word (Bible) for himself (esp since he quotes from too many other people anyway). In Genesis 20:7 YAHWEH (the LORD) calls Abraham a prophet. Okay, after finding that and quickly sharing this with you all I finished reading the excerpt, lol. Here is another error:
A few pages after lessoning Abraham's position (because of his traditional view on what a prophet is), he then says that Enoch came (was BORN) 400 years before Abraham. This is waaaayyyyy off (IF I'M WRONG, PLEASE CORRECT ME; IN HUMILITY I WELCOME SUCH). Since that number (400) seemed off to me (seemed too little) I simply went back to see if I could calculate this. Looking at Genesis 5:18 and beyond:
At age 162 Jared begot Enoch (Jared lived 273 years after Enoch's death. Jared lived 800 years total. 800-162 = 638 years difference. Enoch lived 365 years. 638-365 = 273. No point, lol). Continuing (again from GENESIS 5 AND BEYOND):
At age 162 Jared begot Enoch (Jared 800 total years)
At age 65 Enoch begot Methuselah (Enoch 365 total years)
At age 187 Methuselah begot Lamech (Methuselah 969 total years)
At age 182 Lamech begot Noah (Lamech 777 total years)
Now Enoch was 65 when he had Methuselah, Methuselah was 187 when he had Lamech. This means Enoch was 252 years old when Lamech is born (65+187=252). Enoch lived a total of 365 years minus 252 at Lamech's birth, remaining 113 years after Lamech's birth, 113 years after Lamech's birth Enoch dies. Lamech is 182 when Noah is born minus 113 years ago Enoch died, so Noah was born 69 years after Enoch death.
IF Enoch CAME (was BORN) 400 years before Abraham, then Abraham should have come only 35 years after Enoch's death! Enoch died at 365. 400-365 is 35! What the heck!!!! Noah wasn't even born yet. Via Genesis chapters 9, 10, from Noah comes Shem, Ham, Japheth. From Shem comes Terah, THEN comes Abraham! That's more than 400 years; (how could Abraham come 400 years after Enoch when Noah came 69 years after Enoch's death???)
PLEASE TELL ME IF I'VE MISSED SOMETHING.
On page 12 he makes it seem that Enoch is likened to a 'Chosen One' simply because he walked with God and did not die but was 'taken up' to heaven. I can't knock this (he points out that this is the case only for Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus...so far, so good, that I know of) BUT being Chosen / ANOINTED is for a reason, it's with a cause: redemption of others, as YAHWEH'S (the LORD) heart has always been to reconcile fallen man to holiness and communion / fellowship with Himself. Now if this title 'Chosen One' is given to anyone in Genesis then it COULD be rather given to ENOSH. Genesis 4:26, "And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him ENOSH. THEN men began to call on the name of YAHWEH (the LORD)." (Not trying to push Enosh either, just showing how off the author is).
I don't know about this book. I believe there is some great significance to Enoch; good, bad, or in between, but the author is too off on seemingly small things and IT IS "small" things that lead to proving so-called "big/great" things which effects people's pure knowledge, faith, and trust. The Table of Contents mentions that he will get into the New Testament but the errors I've found within this book JUST BY THE EXCERPT are from the book of Genesis alone!!!! NO GOOD HOMEBOY! lol. But I'd hope his intentions were with good cause. (I only gave it a `3' because I haven't read the entire thing yet).
YAHWEH'S blessings.
