Transcript: 

Today we’re going to learn two names of Yashua in the book of Enoch. Last time around, Enoch gave us the name the “Righteous One” as one of Yashua’s names, and in this chapter, chapter 39, we’re going to learn two names that are going to give us great insight into who Yashua is.

The first one is in verse 6. Enoch writes, “And in that place mine eyes saw the Elect One of Righteousness and of Faith.”

The word “elect” just means chosen, so the Chosen One of Righteousness and of Faith. This is Yashua. In the book of Luke, we read about the voice of God that speaks from a cloud and tells the disciples, “This is my Son, the Elect One. Hear him.”

Yashua is the Elect One, the Chosen One, and He is the chosen one of righteousness. Father said through the prophet Jeremiah that the days were coming when He was going to raise up a branch for David, a righteous branch, who would reign as king, and that this king would be called YHVH TSIDEQENU, the Lord Our Righteousness.

Yashua is YHVH TSIDEQENU. He is the King who is coming. He is the chosen one of righteousness, and he is also the chosen one of faith, because our righteousness comes from our faith in Yashua.

Galatians 2 verse 16 says, “Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ.” Another word for justified is to be made righteous. So, our righteousness comes from him, the Chosen One of Righteousness and of Faith.

Continuing in verse 6, Enoch writes, “And righteousness shall prevail in His days, and the righteous and elect shall be without number before Him forever and ever.” So, Yashua is the Chosen One, and we are chosen as well. We’re chosen to be the ones to receive righteousness through faith in Him and to live forever in His kingdom.

Verse 7, “And I saw His dwelling place under the wings of the Lord of Spirits.” Some manuscripts say, “And I saw their dwelling place under the wings of the Lord of Spirits here,” which makes more sense and is a match for a few Psalms and something that Yashua himself said. In Psalm 91 verse 4, we read, “And under his wings you will find refuge.”

Psalm 17, “Hide me in the shadow of your wings.” And when Yashua was here ministering on earth, He wept over the city of Jerusalem saying, “How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings.” So, it’s His wings that we dwell in.

So, for that reason, we do think that, and I saw their dwelling place is a better translation here.

“And all the righteous and elect before Him shall be strong as fiery lights.” You’ll see in the book of Daniel that there are those who will turn many to righteousness, and they will shine like the stars.

But here in Enoch, it’s telling us that all the righteous and elect in Yashua are as stars, as fiery lights. And Yashua agrees with his prophet Enoch here. So, it’s not just the ones that are out there doing the ministry, but it’s everybody who’s His, who is listening now. Yashua said that at the end of the age, “the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.” You’ll find that in Matthew chapter 13.

“And their mouth shall be full of blessing, and their lips extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.” And this here is the second name of Yashua that we find in this chapter of Enoch, “The Name of the Lord of Spirits.” We know that The Name of the Lord of Spirits is a name of Yashua because of three things that Enoch tells us later in his book.

First, he says, “Sinners deny The Name of the Lord of Spirits,” and we know that sinners deny Yashua. Enoch says later, “The righteous believe in The Name of the Lord of Spirits,” and we know the righteous believe in Yashua. Enoch also says, “In The Name of the Lord of Spirits, we are saved.” And it is in Yashua that we are saved. So, The Name of the Lord of Spirits equals Yashua. It’s one of His titles, one of His names.

We see the same concept in the Old Testament as well, where one of the names of Yashua is The Name of the Lord. In Isaiah, he’s talking about the day of the Lord when Yashua comes, and he says, “Behold, The Name of the Lord comes from afar.” So, behold, Yashua comes from afar.

Micah says, “We will walk in the name of the Lord our God.” As children of God, we walk in the way, and Yashua is the way. So, what Micah is saying here is, we will walk in Yashua.

In Isaiah, God speaks and he says, “Hear the word of YHVH, ye that tremble at His word, your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, let YHVH be glorified, but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.” He’s talking through Isaiah to future Jewish people like Peter and like John. He’s saying, your brothers hated you. They cast you out of the synagogues for my name’s sake. That is for Yashua’s sake. Yashua is The Name of the Lord.

In the Old Testament and in Enoch, we see all of these prophecies about The Name of the Lord, and it’s Yashua, which we know now. But at the time that those prophecies were written, the name hadn’t yet been revealed. God had revealed himself to Abraham as El Shaddai, as one example, and to Israel, He gave His name YHVH, but our Creator has many names, and the name is Yashua. Yashua came to reveal the name of the Lord.

Right before Yashua was crucified and resurrected, He was praying for the disciples, and He was praying for us, who would believe because of their testimony in the future, and He says, “I have revealed,” he’s talking to God, Creator, “I have revealed Your name to those you have given me.” So, in Enoch in the Old Testament, Yashua’s name had not yet been revealed, so we see the phrase, “The Name of the Lord”. Then Yashua came to reveal the name of the Lord, and that is why all throughout the New Testament, you get the much fuller phrase, “The Name of the Lord Yashua,” and “The Name of the Lord Yashua HaMashiach”.

This is an amazing parable, and our Creator loves parables, and He made who He is one of His parables. Wwho is the Lord of Spirits in the book of Enoch? His name is Yashua. Who is YHVH TSIDEQENU, the Lord Our Righteousness, from the book of Jeremiah? His name is Yashua. Who is the Holy Great One from Enoch chapter 1, who is coming with 10,000 of his holy ones to execute judgment? His name is Yashua. We’re going to talk more about this parable of who Yashua is, and how Yashua is our Creator, and is God Almighty. We’ll talk about that more as we go through Enoch’s parables.

In the meantime, if you have questions, we have a video called “YHVH is One” that has a lot of information that should be helpful.

But getting back to verse 7, Enoch writes, speaking of the righteous, “And their mouth shall be full of blessing, and their lips extol The Name of the Lord of Spirits. And righteousness before Him shall never fail, and uprightness shall never fail before Him. There I wished to dwell, and my spirit longed for that dwelling place. And there heretofore hath been my portion, for so has it been established concerning me before the Lord of Spirits. In those days I praised and extolled The Name of the Lord of Spirits with blessings and praises, because He hath destined me for blessing and glory according to the good pleasure of the Lord of Spirits.”

So, Enoch is seeing all of the righteous dwelling under the wings of Yashua, and he is homesick for this place, because he knows that that is his dwelling place, that is where he belongs. If you’ve ever had the feeling like you’re homesick for the Lord and for heaven, and you go around calling heaven your home, and you feel like you’re away from home, this is why, because that is where we belong. We belong with Yashua. He has established it for us. That is our dwelling place.

Enoch said, “And there heretofore hath been my portion.” Another word for portion is inheritance. So, this inheritance was set for us with Yashua long ago, which is a very interesting match for what it says in Ephesians about how we’ve obtained an inheritance through Yashua, and we are predestined.

These things were indeed set long ago, like Paul said, and like Enoch said before Paul said it. So, in Ephesians 1:11, it says, “In Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.” So, our lots, our portion, our inheritance has been established long ago with Yashua and dwelling with Him.

Verse 10, “For a long time my eyes regarded that place, and I blessed Him and praised Him, saying, blessed is He, and may He be blessed from the beginning and forevermore. And before Him there is no ceasing. He knows before the world was created what is forever, and what will be from generation unto generation. Those who sleep not bless thee.” Enoch is talking about the angels here. “They stand before thy glory and bless, praise, and extol, saying, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Spirits.’ He filleth the earth with spirits. And here my eyes saw all those who sleep not. They stand before Him and bless, and say, ‘Blessed be thou, and blessed be the name of the Lord forever and ever.’” Blessed be Yashua forever and ever. “And my face was changed, for I could no longer behold.”

To me, those words that we just read, especially the part about Enoch being homesick for his dwelling place under the wings of Yashua, those words are some of the most beautiful words I’ve ever read in the scriptures.

And I could understand having seen that, having seen the righteous with Yashua, which is where we belong, how the righteous are there blessing the Lord, how the angels are blessing the Lord, and how Enoch ends up blessing the Lord, because what He has given us, this inheritance that He has promised us, that He has made our portion that we have to look forward to, what can you do but bless His name? Bless the name of the Lord for giving this to us and for preserving it for us, for our future.

So, we’re going to end this episode blessing the Lord, praising the Lord, and this song is actually something that I wrote after I read Enoch’s words about being homesick for Yashua.

About the series:

Our Book of Enoch Bible Study series offers a down-to-earth look at this often sensationalized text. Instead of focusing mainly on fallen angels, our goal is to learn the heart of our Father and gain understanding of the Old and New Testament Scriptures that parallel Enoch’s words. Throughout this series, we’ll read together and discuss:

• Life before the Flood
• How sin and transgression caused GOD to destroy His creation,
• Enoch’s epic prophecies covering the history of humanity and Israel,
• The many passages in Enoch that point to YASHUA HA MASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST),
• The ancient calendar of Israel,
• End-times prophecies and how Father will protect us through the days to come, and
• What life will be like in Millennium.

Enoch is a remarkably full book that sheds light on everything from Genesis to Revelation, so, in our view, to understand Enoch is to better understand the entire Bible.
