The Book of Enoch was Forbidden in the Bible – It Includes Giants, Fallen Angels and a Warning for Mankind
The Book of
Enoch isn’t the only collection of scripture that was left out of our
modern-day Bible. A book compiled by Joseph B. Lumpkin (2009) entitled “The
Lost Books of the Bible: Great Rejected Texts” (I’ll post pics of the book
cover and Table of Contents in the comments) is actually thicker than my Bible!
(Of course, the print is bigger and the pages are thicker, but still...). It is
a must-read for anyone who has read the Bible or is interested in history or
religion in general (that includes, of course, Ancient Astronaut Theorists).
My comment
on Facebook about this posting and mainly the Book of Enoch and other Gnostic books
that were not put in the Bible. They argue that they should be in the Bible and
they are wrong!
Jeremy Auldaney The
Book of Enoch was written after the Flood. Enoch lived before the Flood. It
gives details of giants that is physically impossible, twice the size of the
statue of liberty, and it contradicts the Bible. It was written by Gnostics
about 100 AD, a cult to discredit the existence of real giants to intellectuals
who know better. The books were lost then one was searched for and found by the
bloodline of the Illuminati. The Scottish Royalty The Bruce was of the
Merovingian bloodline one of my Knights Templar Illuminati ancestors. He was
part of the founders of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry a remnant of the
Knights Templar that fled to Scotland.

hate to differ with you Jeremy but the bible states that the giants that
will come in the end days are as big as the highest ceder....humm how big
is the highest cedar.. and the book of enoch was very true for he walked
with God and was no more. Jehovah had he's Angel's show him what is and
what was going to happen as in Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel the Angel's
showed the prophets and when they were done showing they were told to eat
the book and that it would be sweet to the mouth but bitter to the
stomach. And when the time is right then they were to write and tell what
the hidden books were about.. it's all in the bible. Check it out.

Foraker Anything larger than 18 feet tall would not be able to
pump blood to the brain. It is physically impossible. And the book of
Enoch contradicts the Bible in most of its content. The Bible says it will
be like the days of Noah. Now in those days there was a thicker atmosphere
with greater CO2 and oxygen, so giants were more likely like the
dinosaurs. The giants were killed in the Flood. Then the giants came back
at Babel. No one has found giant bones larger than 8 to 12 foot tall.
Enoch lived before the Flood. The books of Enoch were written after the
Flood about 100 to 400 AD. In fact it was after Jesus written by Gnostics,
who were a Jewish witchcraft cabala cult. The Book of Enoch today was
found in the Qumran Caves placed there by the Essene Gnostic cult. It was
searched for and found by the Bruce, of Scottish royalty (my ancestor) and
republished. He was an Illuminati Knights Templar, light bearer for
Lucifer. I document all this from historical records in my book Mysteries
of History Revealed Part 2. And here is what a scientist at Answers in
Genesis has to say, "Giants In The Bible: How Tall Were They? https://answersingenesis.org/bible.../giants-in-the-bible/
- So just how tall were the various groups of giants in the Bible? Given the
discrepancy in the ancient texts about Goliath’s height, it is difficult
to base our estimate on his dimensions. The Egyptian killed by Benaiah was
at least 7’6” (perhaps taller if the common cubit was not being used), but
he is not called a giant. The Egyptian document, The Craft of the Scribe,
placed the Shasu (Anakim?) between 6’10” and 8’7”. They had to be large
enough for the Israelites to claim that they looked like grasshoppers in
the sight of the giants and for God to compare the height of the Amorites
to cedars.
There are two main lines of thought on this subject. One idea looks at the modern understanding of human growth. Our stature is primarily affected by our DNA with some influence from environmental factors, but we seem to be limited by the “square-cube” law. For example, let’s use my dimensions to see what would happen if I was scaled up to twice my height. This will give us a good example since I am 6’9”, and some have argued that King Og of Bashan was as tall as his bed was long (13’6”), which is exactly twice my height. So if we were to double my height, then we would also need to increase my width and depth proportionally to compensate.
This means that, along with my height, both my width and depth would double, so we would need to multiply my weight (about 250 pounds) by a factor of eight. So a person of my proportions at 13’6” would weigh 2000 pounds! Not only is it difficult for us to imagine a person so large, but also when considering the compressive strength of bone, we would conclude that Og’s skeletal system would be under tremendous stress, and he would be much more likely to suffer broken bones than a normal-sized person, not to mention the dangerous stress placed on his body’s other systems like the heart.
The second view is based on three points mentioned above. First, would a 5’6” individual really feel like a “grasshopper” compared to someone who is 7–8 feet tall? Admittedly, this is somewhat subjective, but the contrast seems to require a taller giant. Next, as pointed out in the second footnote, there is a strong comparison of the height and strength of the Amorites to the cedar and oak trees in Amos 2:9. Third, the evidence of other creatures in the fossil record that are far greater than twice the size of their modern counterparts provides support to the idea that the limits imposed by the square-cube law may not be as strict as we imagine them to be. For example, the meganeura is an extinct dragonfly, whose wingspan was greater than 30 inches. The Wikipedia entry (Wikimedia Commons image, right) on this creature states the following:
Controversy has prevailed as to how insects of the Carboniferous period were able to grow so large. The way oxygen is diffused through the insect's body via its tracheal breathing system puts an upper limit on body size, which prehistoric insects seem to have well exceeded. (Jeremy: Because there was more oxygen under greater pressure before the Flood.)
While I don’t believe in “prehistoric” creatures (since man has been on earth since Day Six, and God has revealed what happened during the first five days in a historical account), the meganeura shows that the size limits of living organisms may be greater than expected. Those holding the second view do not have a problem with the biblical giants exceeding nine feet in height.
Furthermore, it should be pointed out that the square-cube law is accurate when applied to building materials, but it doesn’t seem to perfectly relate to biological organisms, although it probably provides some “ballpark” limits. For example, the average house cat is about 30 inches long (head to tail), 9–10 inches tall, and weighs about 11 pounds, while tigers reach 12 feet in length (head to tail), 3 feet in height, and weighs about 500 pounds.35 If we were going to estimate the weight of a 10-foot long, 3-foot tall cat using the square-cube law, based on the dimensions of the average house cat, then the numbers would not match what we see in reality. According to this rule, when we quadruple the length (2.5 feet to 10 feet), then we would need to multiply the weight by 64 (4 x 4 x 4), which means we would expect the weight to be approximately 700 pounds. This is significantly higher than the weight of a tiger of this size.
This example shows that tigers and house cats do not share the exact same proportions, but this is exactly the point. Both animals belong to the created cat “kind,” and the much larger varieties (lions, tigers, etc.) are not perfectly “scaled up” compared to the smaller varieties. If this were the case with giant humans, then perhaps a 13’6” Og isn’t out of the realm of possibility, but the notion that some biblical giants were 20–30 feet tall or greater is a “stretch.”
Conclusion
So which view is accurate? I honestly do not know, but the square-cube law seems to provide some upper limits, so it is unlikely that they reached 20–30 feet or more. However, I do know the Bible clearly teaches that giants existed in the past. Many of them lived in and around the land of Canaan, and Joshua was involved in several battles with them. David and his mighty men killed some Philistine giants. The Egyptians knew about the Anakim and feared them. Finally, cultures from around the world have legends that are often remarkably similar to biblical accounts, including the existence of giants.
The accounts of giants in the Bible are more than just “tall” tales. These enormous people truly existed, and no amount of scoffing or rationalizing by skeptics will change that fact." - For more details get my book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=auldaney&ref=nb_sb_noss
