If you are currently reading the King James Bible, then some questions should arise. For example if the original 1611 King James Bible included the Apocrypha then why are you not reading the books it contained? And if they removed those books then what other books are they hiding from you? One thing for sure is that the 66 book canon that the world has accepted is not all of YAHWEH’s word. A book like 2 Esdras goes into great detail about eternal torment and flames for those who do not make it into the kingdom and have rejected YAHWEH’s ways, which would fly in the face of what Christianity is taught today.
I want to focus on the prophecies of YESHUA that are in these removed books that should give more evidence why these books should be read and included as Canon. I’ll read books from the Apocrypha and the Dead Sea scrolls and include some parallels from the 66 Books to prove again that YESHUA is our Savior, He was here from the beginning, He is The Son of YAHWEH, and that these books should be read. And ELOHIM willing soon I want to do a study of parallels with the 66 books with the Apocrypha.
The Book of Hanok (Enoch)
Enoch 1:1-2
“And he took up his parable and said, “Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by ELOHIM, saw the vision of the Holy One (YESHUA) in the heavens, which the messengers (angels) showed me. And from them I heard all matters, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a DISTANT one which is to come.” End time prophecies who saw the end from the beginning.
The following scriptures from Enoch calls YESHUA the ELECT ONE which is the same as saying CHOSEN ONE OR ANNOINTED ONE as we will see first in Isaiah:
Isaiah 42:1-8
“See, My Servant whom I uphold, My CHOSEN ONE (YESHUA), My being has delighted in! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He brings forth Right-Ruling to the nations. He does not cry out, nor lift up, nor causes His voice to be heard in the street. A crushed reed He does not break, and smoking flax He does not quench. He brings forth Right-Ruling in accordance with truth. He does not become weak or crushed, until He has established Right-Ruling in the earth. And the coastlands wait for His Torah.” Thus said the EL, YAHWEH, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, ,who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it: I, YAHWEH, have called You (YESHUA) in righteousness, and I take hold of Your hand and guard You, and give You for a Covenant to a people, for a Light to the gentiles (Luke 2:32) to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house.”
Enoch 39:3-6
“And in those days a whirlwind carried me off from the earth, and put me down at the end of the heavens. And there I saw another vision, the dwelling-places of the holy, and the resting-places of the righteous. Here my eyes saw their dwellings with His righteous messengers, and their resting-places with the holy. And they petitioned and interceded and prayed for the children of men, and righteousness flowed before them as water, and compassion like dew upon the earth. And so it is amongst them forever and ever. And in that place my eyes saw the ELECT ONE (YESHUA) of righteousness and of belief, and I saw his dwelling-place under the wings of YAHWEH of hosts. And righteousness shall prevail in His days, and the righteous and elect shall be without number before Him forever and ever.”
Enoch 45:1-6
“And this is the second Parable concerning those who deny the Name of the dwelling of the saints and YAHWEH of hosts. And into the heavens they shall not ascend, and on the earth they shall not come. Such shall be the lot of the sinners who have denied the Name of YAHWEH of hosts, who are thus preserved for the day of suffering and tribulation. On that day My ELECT ONE (YESHUA) shall sit on the throne of esteem and shall try their works, and their places of rest shall be innumerable. And their beings shall grow strong within them when they see My elect ones, and those who have called upon My magnificent Name. Then will I cause My ELECT ONE to dwell among them, and I will transform the heavens and make it an eternal blessing and light. And I will transform the earth and make it a blessing, and I will cause My elect ones to dwell upon it (New Jerusalem), but the sinners and evil-doers shall not place a foot upon it. For I have provided and satisfied with peace My righteous ones and have caused them to dwell before Me. But for the sinners, there is judgment impending with Me, so that I shall destroy them from the face of the earth.”
Enoch 46:1-3
“And there I saw One who had a Head of Days (YAHWEH), and His head was white like wool (Daniel 7:9 same description of YAHWEH’s hair), and with Him was another Being whose face had the appearance of a man, and His face was full of favor (YESHUA), like one of the holy messengers (angels). And I asked the messenger who went with me and showed me all the hidden matters, concerning the SON OF MAN, who He was, and where he was, why He went with the Head of Days (YAHWEH). And he answered and said to me, this is the SON OF MAN who has righteousness, with whom dwelt righteousness, and who revealed all the treasures of that which is hidden, because YAHWEH of hosts has CHOSEN HIM, and whose lot has the preeminence before YAHWEH of hosts in uprightness forever.”
Enoch 48:2-6
“And at that hour the SON OF MAN was Named in the presence of YAHWEH of hosts, and His Name before the Head of Days. Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heavens were made, His Name was named before YAHWEH of hosts. He shall be a staff to the righteous to brace themselves upon and not fall, and He shall be the light of the nations, and the hope of those who are troubled in heart. All who dwell on the earth shall fall down and WORSHIP before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate YAHWEH of hosts with song. And for this He has been chosen and hidden before Him, BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD and for eternity.” This scripture from Enoch confirms a scripture that we all know:
John 1:1-2
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with ELOHIM, and the Word was ELOHIM. He was in the beginning with ELOHIM.”
Enoch 49:1-4
“For wisdom is poured out like water, and esteem failed not before Him for eternity. For He is mighty in all secrets of righteousness, and unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow, and have no continuance; because the ELECT ONE stands before YAHWEH of hosts, and His esteem is forever and ever, and His might unto all generations. And in Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might, and the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness. And He shall judge the secret matters, and none shall be able to utter a lying word before Him; for He is the ELECT ONE before YAHWEH of hosts according to His good pleasure.”
Baruk (The scribe for Jeremiah)
Baruk 3:32-37
“But He who knows all knows her, and has found her with His understanding; He who prepared the earth forever has filled it with four-footed beasts; He who sends forth light, and it goes, calls it again, and it obeys Him with reverence. The stars shone in their watches, and rejoiced; when He calls them, they say, “Here we are.” And so with gladness they showed light unto He who made them. This our ELOHIM, and there is no other be counted in comparison of Him! He has found all the way of knowledge, and has given it unto Jacob His servant, and to Yisra’el His beloved. Afterward HE SHOWED HIMSELF ON THE EARTH, AND CONVERSED WITH MEN.”
John 1:10-11
“He was in the world, and the world came to be THROUGH HIM, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.”
YAHWEH and YESHUA are One! And we know that YESHUA is ELOHIM The Son who came in the flesh, pitched His tent, dwelt with us and conversed with men. Especially knowing that no one has ever seen the Father YAHWEH at any time.
2 Esdras (4TH Ezra)
2 Esdras 2:42-48
“I Ezra saw upon Mount Zion a great people whom I could not number, and they all praised YAHWEH with songs. And in the midst of them there was a young Man of tall stature-taller than all the rest; and upon every one of their heads He placed crowns, and was more exalted; at which I marveled at greatly. So I asked the messenger (angel), and said, “master, who are these?” He answered and said to me, “These are those who have put off the mortal garments, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the Name of ELOHIM; now they are crowned, and receive palms. Then I said to the messenger, “What young Man is this who crowns them, and gives them palms in their hands?” So he answered and said to me, “it is the SON OF ELOHIM, whom they have confessed in the world.” Then I began to greatly commend those who stood so steadfastly for the Name of YAHWEH.”
2 Esdras 5:4-6
“But if the Most High grants you to live, you shall see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and a third of the moon in that day. And blood shall drip from wood, and the stone shall give its cry, and the people shall be troubled; and ONE shall rule, whom those who dwell the earth do not expect, and the birds shall take flight away together.”
This unbelieving world does not believe in YESHUA and He is the One who shall rule on earth for 1,000 years whom those on the earth do not expect. By that time it will already be too late.
2 Esdras 6:11-30
“Then I answered and said, “O YAHWEH who reigns, if I have found favor in your sight, please show Your servant the end of your signs, of which You showed me in part the last night.” So He answered and said to me, “Stand up on your feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice. And there shall be a great shaking; but the place where you stand shall not be moved. And so, when it sounds do not be afraid; for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth understands. ‘And why? Because the sound of these trembles and is moved; for it knows that the end of these must be changed.” And it came to be, that when I heard it I stood up on my feet, and listened, and see, there was a voice that spoke, and the sound of it was like the SOUND OF MANY WATERS.”
Revelation 1:13-15
“And in the midst of the seven lamp-stands One like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. And His head and hair were white as white as wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass, as if refined in a furnace, and HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS.”
Verse 18 (2 Esdras continued) And it said, “See the days come, that I shall begin to draw near, and to visit those who dwell upon the earth, and shall begin to make inquiry of them, what harm they have done unrighteously with their wickedness, and when the affliction of Zion shall be complete; and when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, is finished, then I shall show these signs: The Books shall be opened before the expanse and they all shall see together. And children a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth children prematurely of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up. And suddenly the sown places shall appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty; and the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man hears, they shall be suddenly afraid. At that time friends shall fight against one another as enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those who dwell in it; the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not flow. Whoever remains from all these that I have told you shall escape, and see MY deliverance, and the end of your world. And those who are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth; and the heart of inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another spirit. For evil shall be blotted out, and deception shall be quenched. As for belief, it shall flourish; corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be declared. And when He talked with me, see, I looked little by little upon Him before whom I stood. And these words He said to me, “I have come to show you the time of the night to come.”
2 Esdras 7:28-29
“For My SON YESHUA shall be revealed with those who are with Him, and those who remain shall rejoice within four hundred years. After these years ha’Mashiach (Messiah) My Son shall die, and all men who have life.”
2 Esdras 12:31-34
“And the LION (We know YESHUA is the Roaring Lion of Judah), whom you saw rising up out of the forest ROARING, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking it for its unrighteousness with all the words which you have heard; This is ha’Mashiach (Messiah), whom the Most High as kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end; He shall reprove them, and shall reproach them for their cruelty. For He shall stand them before Him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and reprove them. For He shall deliver the rest of My people with kindness-those who have been scattered from My borders, and He shall make them joyful until the coming of the Day of Judgment, of which I have spoken to you from the beginning.”
Revelation 5:4-5
“And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals.”
2 Esdras 13:25-38
“This is the meaning of the vision: When you saw a Man coming up from the midst of the sea; He is the One whom ELOHIM the Most High has kept for a long time whom by Himself shall deliver His creation; and He shall lead those who are left behind. And when you saw, that a blast of wind and fire and storm came out of His mouth; and that He held neither sword, nor any weapon of battle, but that His rushing in destroyed the whole crowd that came to overcome Him; this is the interpretation: “See the days are coming, when the Most High shall begin to deliver those who are on the earth. And those who dwell on the earth shall be astonished at His coming. And one shall begin to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one reign against another. And the time shall be when these come to pass, and the signs take place which I showed you before, and then My SON shall be declared, whom you saw as a Man ascending. And when all the people hear His voice, every man in their own land shall leave the battle they have against one another, and an innumerable crowd shall gather together, as you saw them, coming with desire to overcome Him in battle. But He shall stand on the top of Mount Zion, and Zion shall come, and shall be shown to all men, being prepared and built, as you saw the mountain carved without hands. And He, My SON shall rebuke the wicked deeds of those nations, who have fallen into the storm for their wicked life; and shall lay their evil thoughts before them, and the torture with which they shall begin to be tortured, which are like flames; and He shall destroy those without WORKS BY THE LAW which I comparable to Me.”
2 Esdras 13:51-52
“Then I said, “O YAHWEH who reigns, show me this: Why have I seen the Man coming up from the midst of the sea? And He said to me, “As you could neither seek out nor know that which is in the depths of the sea; even so no man on earth shall see My SON, or those who are with him, but in His time of day.”
2 Esdras 14:6-9
“These words you shall declare, and these you shall hide. And now I say to you: “Lay up on your heart the signs that I have shown, and the dreams that you have seen, and the interpretations which you have heard; for you shall be taken away from all and from now on you shall remain with my SON, and with those who are like you, until the times are ended.”
Sirach
Sirach 4:10
“Be as a dad to the dad less, and like husband to their mother; so you shall be AS the SON of the Most High, and He shall love you more than your mother does.”
Testament of Levi
Testament of Levi 2:10-11
“And when you have ascended there, you will stand near YAHWEH, and will be His minister. And you will declare His mysteries to men, and will proclaim CONCERNING HIM THAT WILL REDEEM YISRA’EL (YESHUA). And by you and Judah will YAHWEH appear among men, saving every race of men.”
Testament of Levi 8:11-14
“And they said to me, “Levi, your seed will be divided into three branches, for a sign of the esteem of YAHWEH who is to come. And the first portion will be great; yes, none will be greater than it. The second will be in the priesthood. And the third will be called by a RENEWED name, because a King will arise in Yehudah (Judah), and will establish a NEW Priesthood, after the fashion of the nations to all the nations. And His presence is beloved, as a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18) of the Most High, of the seed of Abraham our ancestor.”
This is another prophecy of YESHUA which ties to Hebrews 7 that YESHUA rose from the tribe of Judah, a tribe which Moses never spoke of concerning the altar to perform the slaughter offerings, burning incense all the other functions because this role was reserved for the Levites. Therefore, there had to be a change in the Priesthood (As Testament of Levi says a Renewed name and New Priesthood). So even The Testament of Levi confirms that YESHUA would be a King/Priest. The only other king/priest in scripture was Malkitsedeq the priest of The Most High and King of Salem, which is why YESHUA is Priest according to the order of Malkitsedeq.
Genesis 14:18
“And Malkitsedeq king of Salem brought out bread and wine. Now he was the priest of the Most High EL.”
Zechariah 6:12-13
“And shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus said YAHWEH of hosts, saying, “See, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! And from His place He shall BRANCH out, and He shall build the Temple of YAHWEH. It is He (YESHUA) who is going to build the Temple of YAHWEH. It is He who is going to bear the splendor. And He shall sit and rule of His throne (KING), and shall be a PRIEST on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between Them both.”
Testament of Judah
Testament of Judah 24:1-6
“And after thee things will a STAR ARISE to you from Jacob in peace like the sun of righteousness, WALKING WITH THE SONS OF MEN IN HUMILITY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. And no SIN WILL BE FOUND IN HIM.”
I will list scriptures that correlate with what we read from Testament of Judah about the Star arising from Jacob, walking with the sons of men in humility and Him knowing no sin. This correlates with:
Numbers 24:17 (Septuagint) which says
“I will point to Him, but not now; I bless Him but He draws not near: A STAR SHALL RISE OUT OF JACOB, a Man shall spring out of Yisra’el….”
And the portion explaining that YESHUA would walk with the sons of men in humility is similar to Philippians 2:5-8 (The portion in parenthesis is my emphasis)
“For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah YESHUA, who, being in the form of ELOHIM, did not regard equality with ELOHIM a matter to be grasped (humbled Himself knowing He was ELOHIM the Son to become a man a matter we can’t grasp), but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men. And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.”
And the portion explaining that no sin would be found in Him:
Isaiah 53:5-9
“But He was pierced for OUR transgressions, He was crushed for OUR wickedness’s. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all, like sheep, went astray, each one of us has turned to his own way. And YAHWEH has laid on Him the wickedness’s of us all. “Verse 9 “And He was appointed a grave with the wicked, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was deceit in His mouth.”
Romans 5:21
“For He (YAHWEH) made Him (YESHUA) who KNEW NO SIN to be SIN FOR US, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of ELOHIM.”
Testament of Judah continued verses 2-6 “The heavens will be open to Him, to pour out the spirit, even the blessing of the Set-apart Father. And He will pour out the spirit of favor upon you. And you will be sons to Him in truth, and you will walk in His commands first and last. Then the scepter of my kingdom will shine forth; and from your root will arise a stem. And from it will grow a rod of righteousness to the nations to judge and to save all that call upon YAHWEH.”
Testament of Judah mentions walking in His commands which is found in:
John 15:10
“If you guard My Commands, you shall stay in My love, even as I have guarded My Father’s Commands and stay in His love.”
Jubilees
Jubilees 16:26
“And he blessed his Creator who had created him in his generation, for He had created him according to His good pleasure; for He knew and perceived that from him would arise the BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS for the everlasting generations, and from him HOLY SEED, so that it should become like HIM WHO MADE ALL MATTERS.”
The Branch of Righteousness and The Holy Seed is YESHUA who would become like Him who created all matters who is YAHWEH and we know that YAHWEH and YESHUA are One.
Jubilees 21:23-24
“Turn away from all their deeds and all their uncleanness, and observe the Law of the Most High EL, and do His desire and be upright in all matters. And He shall bless you in all your deeds, and shall raise up from you the BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS through all the earth, throughout all generations of the earth, and my name (Abraham) and your name (Jacob) shall not be forgotten under the heavens forever.”
Jeremiah 33:14-16
“See the days are coming,’ declares YAHWEH, ‘when I shall establish the good word which I have promised to the house of Yisra’el and to the house of Judah: ‘In those days and at that time I cause a BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to spring forth for David. And He shall do right-ruling and righteousness in the earth. ‘In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem dwell in safety. And this is that which shall be proclaimed to her: YAHWEH our Righteousness.’
Prayer of Azariah (Abednego)
Prayer of Azariah 1:26
“But the Messenger of YAHWEH came down into the oven together with Azariah and his friends, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven, and made the middle of the furnace as though it were a moist whistling wind, so that the fire did not touch them at all, neither harmed them or troubled them.”
Daniel 3:25
“He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire. And they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elah.” And Elah is Arabic for ELOHIM. YESHUA was there in Daniel’s day protecting them from the fire of the furnace.
As we can see the evidence is overwhelming from more than one witness from these books that were removed that YAHWEH has a Son and His Name is YESHUA and He was here from the beginning. YESHUA is our Savior and no one is saved without Him. I pray this has opened your eyes to start reading the books that were removed from scripture to find out the things that have been hidden from you.
As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
