Enoch's Dispensation With Connections to Adam's and Noah's [Booklet II]

Though the KJV Bible devotes but a few sentences to Enoch, his name and teachings permeate many ancient apocryphal and pseudepigraphical manuscripts. "It is strange indeed, says Dr Hugh Nibley, {eminent ancient historian} that the man Enoch, to whom the bible gives only a few brief sentences, should be the colossus which bestrides the apocrypha like no other."[1] .In addition to the scanty record of Enoch and his teachings in the KJV Genesis record equally scanty are the Jewish Masoretic, the Eastern Orthodox Catholic, the Douay Rheims, Roman Catholic, most Protestant Denominations and Evangelical Records of Genesis. Joseph Smith Jr. accepted as premier prophet of our dispensation, the dispensation of the fullness of times, according to the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, added 111 verses to Enoch's record at the request of the Lord God in the year 1830/31 beginning when the Church was but two months old. This record ties Enoch to the prophet Adam and to the prophet Noah like no other. It is filled with apocalyptic foreshadowing of things to come to the posterity of Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and his twelve sons.
