Bible Mysteries

The Book of Enoch is often promoted as a missing key to understanding Genesis 6, the Nephilim, and the fallen angels. In Part 2 of this series, Scott Mitchell and John Potts continue testing the Book of Enoch by the only reliable standard: the preserved Word of God.

Rather than treating Enoch as inspired, this episode examines its language, claims, and internal consistency and compares them directly with Scripture. From questions about “orbits” and “luminaries,” to contradictions about eternal life, to the problem of Mount Hermon and the size of the giants, this study shows why the biblical fathers were right to reject Enoch from the canon.

This is not about dismissing history—it’s about rightly dividing the Word of Truth and keeping Scripture as the final authority.

In This Episode

Why historical interest does not equal biblical inspiration

The standard of Scripture: preservation, consistency, and divine authorship

Problematic language in Enoch: “orbits” and “luminaries” vs. biblical wording

What the Bible actually teaches about eternal life—and why Enoch conflicts with it

Confusion over the leader of the fallen angels in Enoch

The claim about Mount Hermon and “mutual imprecations” tested against Hebrew Scripture

Why the biblical names for Mount Hermon describe geography, not a curse

The giants of Enoch: why 3,000 ells (4,500 feet) makes no biblical or physical sense

How Scripture records giants—and why it never describes anything like Enoch’s claims

The role of scribes, preservation, and why non-canonical books lack the marks of Scripture

Why God’s Word keeps the focus on redemption in Christ, not angelic speculation

Key Scriptures Referenced (KJV)

Psalm 12:6–7 — God preserves His words

Genesis 1:14–18 — God’s description of the lights in the heavens

Job 38:31–33 — God names the stars and their ordinances

John 3:16; John 6:51 — Everlasting and eternal life

Revelation 22:5 — Reigning with Christ forever

Deuteronomy 3:8–9 — The biblical names of Mount Hermon

Genesis 6:4 — The giants and “men of renown”

Isaiah 8:20 — The test of all teaching by Scripture

Main Takeaway

The Book of Enoch may be interesting, but when it is tested by Scripture, it fails in language, doctrine, internal consistency, and agreement with God’s preserved Word. The Bible does not need to be corrected or supplemented. God has already given—and kept—what He intended His people to have.

In this message, Scott Mitchell examines the biblical warning that “the mystery of iniquity doth already work” and shows how Scripture traces this hidden system of deception from ancient Babel to the final rise of the man of sin. Using 2 Thessalonians 2 as the foundation, this study explains how something is presently restraining the full revelation of the Antichrist, even while the spiritual system behind him is already active in the world.

The lesson connects Jesus’ warnings about religious deception, Paul’s teaching on the falling away, and John’s vision of Mystery Babylon the Great in Revelation 17–18. You’ll see how false religion, rooted in Babylon, has shaped world history, why it is described as a system that traffics in the “souls of men,” and how it ultimately prepares the world to receive a false christ who will sit in the temple of God claiming to be God.

Scott also explains the biblical background of Babel, Nimrod, and the spread of idolatry through the nations, showing how this ancient rebellion against God continues under different names and forms today. The message closes with a sober warning about strong delusion in the last days—and a clear call to trust Jesus Christ, who alone will destroy the man of sin and bring this entire system to its end.

Key Scriptures:

2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 7, Matthew 12–13, Genesis 10–11, Revelation 17–18, 1 Timothy 6

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What the Bible means by the mystery of iniquity

How Babylon’s religious system began and why it still matters

Why false religion is central to the rise of the man of sin

How Revelation describes Mystery Babylon and her final judgment

What Scripture says about the coming deception and strong delusion

Why the only safety is in believing the gospel of Jesus Christ

Listen and be reminded: the mystery of iniquity is already at work, but its time is limited. Christ is coming, and He will destroy the man of sin and the system behind him with the brightness of His coming.

In this episode of Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell and John Potts begin a careful, Scripture-based examination of the Book of Enoch. With increased interest in Enoch across Christian media, this study establishes clear biblical ground rules for evaluating non-canon writings without undermining the authority or preservation of God’s word.

Rather than dismissing Enoch outright—or elevating it to the level of Scripture—this episode tests the book using the biblical standard itself. Scott explains why quotation does not equal inspiration, why Scripture must interpret Scripture, and why internal contradictions disqualify any writing from being considered God-breathed.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series.

What This Episode Covers

Why the Book of Enoch must be examined through Scripture, not alongside it

The difference between inspiration, historical value, and quotation

God’s promise to preserve His word and why that promise matters today

Why claims about “the original Greek” or “the original Hebrew" are often misleading

How manuscript traditions affect modern Bible translations

Why Enoch’s opening chapter conflicts no with biblical prophecy

Mount Sinai vs. the Mount of Olives and why the distinction matters

The claim that “all upon the earth shall perish” and why Scripture disagrees

The biblical problem with the term “the watchers”

Why Jude’s quotation of Enoch does not canonize the entire book

Key Scriptures Discussed

Genesis 3

Genesis 5:21–24

Psalm 12:6–7

Isaiah 24

Zechariah 14

Matthew 25:31–46

Romans 10

Galatians 4:24–26

Daniel 4

Jude 1:14–15

Acts 17:28

2 Peter 1:20–21

Core Takeaway

God’s word is self-authenticating, consistent, and preserved.
Any book that contradicts what God has already revealed—especially on prophetic and doctrinal matters—cannot be Scripture.
The Book of Enoch raises important questions, but Scripture alone determines the answers.

What’s Coming Next 

In the next part of this series, Scott will continue examining where the Book of Enoch diverges from Scripture and will address topics often tied to Enoch, including the origin of demons and the distinction between demons and fallen angels.

Episode Summary

In this Bible study message, the question of how the Holy Spirit speaks today is examined through Scripture. Rather than relying on personal experiences, impressions, or private revelations, the Bible provides clear instruction on how God communicates with His people in this present age.
Scripture teaches that believers are given a teachable spirit at salvation so they may be instructed by the Holy Ghost. The Spirit teaches by comparing spiritual things with spiritual—Scripture with Scripture—and never contradicts the written Word of God. Throughout this study, biblical examples are used to show how the Spirit leads, teaches, seals, and calls through the gospel, while also warning against claims that cannot be tested by Scripture.

This lesson emphasizes the importance of discernment, the danger of private interpretation, and the sufficiency of God’s completed Word as the final authority for faith and practice.

Key Teaching Points

The difference between a teachable spirit and the Holy Spirit

How the Holy Spirit teaches by comparing Scripture with Scripture

What it truly means to be led by the Spirit of God

How resisting the Holy Ghost is tied to rejecting God’s Word

Why Scripture is a more sure word than visions or experiences

The biblical process by which the Spirit calls sinners to salvation

How to test the spirits according to 1 John 4

Why God’s Word is complete and sufficient for believers today

Scripture References

1 Corinthians 2

Psalm 138:2

Luke 4:1

Romans 8:12–14

Acts 7:51–52

Acts 16:6–10

2 Thessalonians 2:13–14

Romans 10:13–17

John 6:63–64

2 Peter 1:19–21

Colossians 1:24–29

1 John 4:1–3

Main Theme

God speaks today as He always has—through His Word. The Holy Spirit does not add new revelation but teaches, reveals, and applies what God has already spoken in Scripture. Any claim of spiritual guidance must be tested against the written Word of God, which remains the final authority.
Closing Encouragement 

Believers are not called to chase experiences or private messages. They are called to trust the Word of God, test the spirits, and follow the Spirit’s leading through Scripture. The same Holy Spirit who inspired the Word now uses it to convict hearts, teach truth, and call sinners to salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In Episode 268 of the Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell is joined once again by our friend and brother in Christ, Jeff Dodson, for a focused discussion on biblical wisdom and its meaning in the Old Testament.

This episode continues the broader study of the foundational elements of faith—worship, knowledge, wisdom, and prayer—with special attention given to wisdom as revealed through the Hebrew language. Jeff explains the Hebrew word chokmah and contrasts God-given wisdom with human reasoning, showing how Scripture consistently ties wisdom to the heart and to the fear of the Lord.

Scott and Jeff also discuss the importance of studying ancient Hebrew rather than modern forms, the role of historical Jewish writings in understanding language and culture, and why Scripture cautions against confusing knowledge with wisdom. The conversation emphasizes that true wisdom is shaped through reverence for God, obedience to His Word, and a willingness to walk the old paths rather than follow modern distractions.

Listeners will also hear insights into hidden literary structures in Scripture, including Hebrew acrostics found in passages such as Proverbs 31 and Psalm 119, revealing intentional design and order embedded within God’s Word.

This episode offers encouragement for believers seeking clarity, discernment, and spiritual maturity in an age of constant information and distraction.

Key Scriptures referenced include:

Proverbs 1:7, Psalm 90:12, Psalm 119, Proverbs 31

Topics covered include:

The Hebrew meaning of wisdom (chokmah)

Wisdom versus human cleverness

Why the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom

Ancient Hebrew and biblical interpretation

Hidden acrostic structures in Scripture

Technology, culture, and their effect on discernment

Building a stable spiritual foundation rooted in God’s Word
