70 Generations from Enoch

[Jamdoc]

So I saw this in a video and decided to check the sources and see if it was true..

1 Enoch 4

13 And the Lord said unto Michael, "Go, bind Samlazaz and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever.

Now Luke 3, I will number the generations from Enoch's son, Methuselah.

23 And Jesus 70 himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph 69, which was the son of Heli 68,
24 Which was the son of Matthat 67, which was the son of Levi 66, which was the son of Melchi 65, which was the son of Janna 64, which was the son of Joseph 63,
25 Which was the son of Mattathias 62, which was the son of Amos 61, which was the son of Naum 60, which was the son of Esli 59, which was the son of Nagge 58,
26 Which was the son of Maath 57, which was the son of Mattathias 56, which was the son of Semei 55, which was the son of Joseph 54, which was the son of Juda 53,
27 Which was the son of Joanna 52, which was the son of Rhesa 51, which was the son of Zorobabel 50, which was the son of Salathiel 49, which was the son of Neri 48,
28 Which was the son of Melchi 47, which was the son of Addi 46, which was the son of Cosam 45, which was the son of Elmodam 44, which was the son of Er 43,
29 Which was the son of Jose 42, which was the son of Eliezer 41, which was the son of Jorim 40, which was the son of Matthat 39, which was the son of Levi 38,
30 Which was the son of Simeon 37, which was the son of Juda 36, which was the son of Joseph 35, which was the son of Jonan 34, which was the son of Eliakim 33,
31 Which was the son of Melea 32, which was the son of Menan 31, which was the son of Mattatha 30, which was the son of Nathan 29, which was the son of David 28,
32 Which was the son of Jesse 27, which was the son of Obed 26, which was the son of Booz 24, which was the son of Salmon 23, which was the son of Naasson 22,
33 Which was the son of Aminadab 21, which was the son of Aram 20, which was the son of Esrom 19, which was the son of Phares 18, which was the son of Juda 17,
34 Which was the son of Jacob 16, which was the son of Isaac 15, which was the son of Abraham 14, which was the son of Thara 13, which was the son of Nachor 12,
35 Which was the son of Saruch 11, which was the son of Ragau 10, which was the son of Phalec 9, which was the son of Heber 8, which was the son of Sala 7,
36 Which was the son of Cainan 6, which was the son of Arphaxad 5, which was the son of Sem 4, which was the son of Noe 3, which was the son of Lamech 2,
37 Which was the son of Mathusala 1, which was the son of Enoch

Wow, it does work. just coincidence, or maybe something else?

The cross did consummate the judgement of angels that sinned, it finalized it. There is no way out of it for them, and it was 70 generations after Enoch.

If true, then judgment day would have happened sometime in the first century?

I think it's more that their fate was sealed by the cross, it's just well, there were literally 70 generations after Enoch to Jesus. That's something significant and .. well, quite accurate for something that's not considered scripture.

It's also true that, well, Jesus rose from the dead, and did not have generations past Himself so.. it's still that 70th generation so it could also refer to the 2nd coming and still be true.

One of the arguments I have heard is that the reason it was not considered scripture, is that the canon old testament (which Enoch would be old testament not new) is what Jews who rejected Jesus selected as canon about 200 years after Jesus, being that Enoch refers to a divine Messiah "Elect one" and "annointed" a LOT, like it's very clear the book is talking about Jesus (and until it'd been found in the Dead Sea scrolls detractors just said obviously this had been written after Revelation), so the Rabbis rejected it because they don't want a canon book that is largely about Jesus. They won't read Isaiah 53 because it's obviously pointing to Jesus as Messiah too.
