-Maccabees: The Maccabees books are listed in the Apocrypha. They give a history of the tribe of Judah and the many events which occurred after the sacred canon. The Maccabees was the name of a noted family of this tribe. They are not mentioned in the KJV Bible. The Maccabees were especially heroic and successful in a struggle for the nation of Judah's independence against the Old Testament antichrist and persecutor, Antiochus Epiphanes, of whom Daniel foretells:.Daniel 8:11-14. Barnes Notes: In 1Maccabees 2:60 is recorded his dying counsels to his sons with reference to the war they were now to carry on. His son Judas 'the Maccabee', succeeded him in B.C.E. 166 as the leader in directing the war of independence, which was carried on with great heroism on the part of those of Judah who utterly defeated the Syrians.

When Antiochus IV Epiphanes was expelled from Egypt by the Romans, he vented his anger, attempting to abolish those worshiping at the temple in Jerusalem, putting multitudes to death in B.C.E. 168. 

An aging priest named Mattathias the Asmonean, rallied together the national party and his son Judas, surnamed Maccabeus, succeeded in defeating their enemies and for a time a degree of national freedom was enjoyed. He was succeeded by his brother, but the country soon after became subject to Rome. Their history is given in Josephus and in the Apocryphal Books of the Maccabees.

Textus Receptus:.latin for 'received' or 'accepted', meaning a text of a work that is generally accepted as being genuine or original.

The use of the term comes from the Latin preface to a 1633 edition of the New Testament by the Dutch printers Elzevir:.'You have the text now received.(or, recognized).by all, in which we give nothing altered or corrupted'.

-Talmud:.from about  150 A.D. the Sanhedrin settled here and established rabbinical schools, which rose to great celebrity. Here the Jerusalem.(or Palestinian).Talmud was compiled about the beginning of the fifth century. It is a book having mostly contradictory text to the Bible and only read with extreme caution.

To this same rabbinical school also we are indebted for the Masora, a."body of traditions which transmitted the readings of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and preserved, by means of the vowel system, the pronunciation of the Hebrew. In its original form and in all manuscripts, the Hebrew is written without vowels; hence, when it ceased to be a spoken language, the importance of knowing what vowels to insert between the consonants. This is supplied by the Masora and hence these vowels are called the 'Masoretic vowel points'."

The Book of Enoch.also called.Ethiopic Book Of Enoch

The Book of Enoch.along with many other books, is not included in any canon of scripture. What's called Theomatics seems to have obviated its inclusion. Is Theomatics accurate? Some say yes, others no. If accurate, is it then of God, that being with no twists? Again some feel so and others not. Most feel that the plain simple truths of God are plain enough, that is Does God Exist, is the Bible true, is Christ real?

However, are the workings of mathematical.algorithms, being of the multiverse God made, been therefor always there awaiting discovery to take us deeper into truth? Can the light of the gospel alone do this? Is it enough?.John 6:35 "And Emmanuel said unto them, I am the bread of life. He that comes to me shall never hunger and he that believes on me shall never thirst." John 8:12 "Then spake Emmanuel again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world. He that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

The only complete extant version of The Book of Enoch is an Ethiopic.(Ethiopian).translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic.

Enoch, the seventh patriarch in the book of Genesis, was the subject of abundant apocryphal literature, especially during the Hellenistic period of Judaism.(3rd century B.C.E. to 3rd century A.D.). At first revered only for his piety, Enoch was later believed to be the recipient of secret knowledge from God. This portrait of Enoch as visionary was influenced by the Babylonian.tradition of the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna, who was linked to the sun God and believed he received divine revelations. The story of Enoch reflects many such features of the Babylonian myth.

The Book of Enoch is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic.(meaning widespread devastation or ultimate doom). Its oldest portion is the 'Apocalypse of Weeks', written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 B.C.E. against the Seleucids. Other sections, especially those dealing with astronomical and cosmological speculations, are difficult to date. Because of its views on messianism.(belief in the Messiah), celibacy and the fate of the soul after death, parts of Enoch may have originated with or been influenced by the Essene community of Judeans at Qumran. However, no fragments of the longest portion of the work, chapters 37–71, were found among the Qumran writings. This has led scholars to theorize that this section was perhaps written in the 2nd century A.D. by someone unknown who wished to imbue his own eschatological speculations with the authority of Enoch and added his work to four older apocryphal Enoch writings.

The Book of Enoch was accepted by some in the Christian Church but later excluded from the biblical canon by the cabal in their hiding of true history by various means they use. This book is only one of 711 that they tucked away out of sight in the Vatican archives. The book has a syncretic blending of Iranian, Greek, Chaldean and Egyptian elements.....comprised with information from Encyclopedia Britannica.
