This is a popularized translation of the OT pseudepigrapha, quasi-Biblical writings which never achieved canonical status (or inclusion in any of the official Apocrypha). This isn't to say that these documents are forgeries, just that for one reason or another they were not considered part of the Biblical text by the first millenium (C.E.) compilers. This book contains translations of all of the texts found in volume I of the weighty Oxford University Press Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, without any of the apparatus.

Secrets of Enoch XXXIX

5 You see now, my children, the right hand of a man that helps you, but I have seen the Lord's right hand filling heaven as be helped me.

6 You see the compass of my work like your own, but I have seen the Lord's limitless and perfect compass, which has no end.

7 You hear the words of my lips, as I heard the words of the Lord, like great thunder incessantly with hurling of clouds.

8 And now, my children, hear the discourses of the father of the earth, how fearful and awful it is to come before the face of the ruler of the earth, how much more terrible and awful it is to come before the face of the ruler of heaven, the controller of quick and dead, and of the heavenly troops. Who can endure that endless pain?

I assume you have read the entire text. I find things within it that awakens dimensions. For instance: the conversation between Adam and his wife regarding their experience before they fell, being clothed in the glory of God and being reduced to fleshly beings of skin coverings...oh well, who really knows. One thing for me, the glory we were before the fall escapes anything we can think.

Sun: I heard someone say "everybody hates me." His wife's response "everybody does not hate you, everybody has not met you yet." There are indeed "Christians who stand against" me, but alas there are a few who love me, or lean towards maybe liking me.

Canonical?

They were likely only recently written and printed.

To begin with, no one (including Rose), has inferred they are canonical. I have a small test for you next in this regards.

"Recently written & printed"

The Test

The book of Ecclesiasticus=

THE HOLY BIBLE: THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTICUS

The book of Ecclesiastes=

https://www.biblestudytools.com/ecclesiastes/

Now take your time and tell us why Ecclesiastes and not Ecclesiasticus are canon.
