Where in the Bible can the Prophecy in Jude 1v14 be found?

Answer 1

Jude 1:14, And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints.

Nowhere in The Bible. This prophecy however can be found in the Book of Enoch (see link), not included in the Bible.

BTW, Enoch was Sixth from Adam not seventh. See Gen 5:13-18, 1Chronicle 1:1-2, Luke 3:37-38..

Jude 1:14 says:- And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

By the "Lord" is meant the Lord Jesus Christ,who is returning with all the elect at His second coming in the (near) future.

Although "cometh" is written in our future tense, to God it has already happened and is actually in the past tense prophetically: all prophecy is referred to in the prophetic-tense . This means speaking of things yet to occur in the future but in the past tense as if they had already happened because to God it has already happened, such is the certainty of it. Since Time was created by God , this means He is outside the Time dimension and that past/present/future tenses are irrelevant to God.

It means that tenses are also irrelevant to the Holy Spirit who wrote Scripture through human beings, with some of it called 'prophecy'. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God..., [ or "All Scripture is God-breathed .. "(LITV)].

There are a number of references to this prophecy of Enoch elsewhere in the Bible:- Dan 7:9-10 KJV I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. [v. 10] A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Mat 25:31-33 KJV When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [v. 32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [v. 33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

1Th 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

The fulfillment of Jude's prophecy, (and indeed the fulfillment of ALL prophecy), can be seen in Revelation (Rev 4:2, 6, 8, 10-11, 5-6, 9-13 ,NET Bible):-

(v.2) Immediately I was in the Spirit, and a throne was standing in heaven with someone seated on it!

(v .6) ... In the middle of the throne and around the throne were ...

...living creatures ... saying:

"Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God, the All-Powerful,

Who was and who is, and who is still to come!"

(v10) ... they offer their crowns before his throne, saying:

(v 11) "You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

since you created all things,

and because of your will they existed and were created!"

(v :5) ... Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; thus he can open the scroll and its seven seals."

Rev 5:6 Then I saw standing in the middle of the throne ... a Lamb that appeared to have been killed....

(v :9) They were singing a new song:

"You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals

because you were killed,

and at the cost of your own blood you have purchased for God

persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation.

(v :10) You have appointed them as a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."

(v:11) Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand - thousands times thousands -

(v :12) all of whom were singing in a loud voice:

"Worthy is the lamb who was killed

to receive power and wealth

and wisdom and might

and honor and glory and praise!"

(v :13) Then I heard every creature - in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them - singing:

"To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb

be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power forever and ever!"

BTW,

There are indeed 6 generations from Adam to Enoch, but Enoch was the 7th in line of descent from Adam:-

Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

Gen 5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

Gen 5:9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

Gen 5:12 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:

Gen 5:15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

Gen 5:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
