Vatican History For Sleep

What drove the heart of Christendom to silence an ancient prophet’s voice? In this video, we trace the Book of Enoch’s remarkable journey—from its composition in the Second Temple period and early Christian admiration to its omission at late‑fourth‑century councils and survival in Ethiopian churches. We’ll explore how papal theologians weighed Enoch’s vivid angelology and apocalyptic visions against emerging creeds, and why modern archaeology and Dead Sea Scrolls discoveries have reignited debate over its lost status. Prepare for a cinematic exploration of power, prophecy, and the fine line between canon and controversy.
