The Book of Enoch the Prophet is the oldest known existing mystical document and is referred to in the Hebrew Zohar, The Epistle of St. Jude, and other ancient books. Legend dates the text to antediluvian times, saved from the flood by Noah himself, while serious scholarship places its origin in the second century B.C.E, as old as ancient Sumeria and Babylon. It reveals a vision of a new age of heaven on earth that figures in esoteric and occult practices.
