In this final installment of our series on the Book of Enoch, Scott Mitchell examines one of the most important questions of all: does the Book of Enoch meet the biblical standard for Scripture?
This episode focuses on three critical issues—canon, intercession, and biblical authority—and compares the claims of the Book of Enoch directly against the Word of God. Scripture is clear that God has promised to preserve His Word, that Jesus Christ alone is our intercessor, and that angels are ministering spirits, not mediators.
We also look at what the Bible actually teaches about access to the heavenly realm, why Christ’s sacrifice is central to that access, and why the Book of Enoch’s descriptions do not align with the timing and structure of redemption laid out in Scripture.
The Book of Enoch may be historically interesting, but history is not inspiration. In this episode, Scott lays out why the early church was right to reject it from the canon—and why believers should test every extra-biblical writing against the preserved Word of God.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- Why God’s promise to preserve His Word matters when testing any book
- What Scripture teaches about who can intercede—and who cannot
- Why angels are ministers, not mediators
- How the Book of Enoch conflicts with the Bible’s teaching on judgment and intercession
- The difference between Ezekiel’s and John’s visions of God’s throne—and why timing matters
- Why access to the heavenly throne is only possible after Christ’s atoning work
- How Hebrews explains when the way into the holiest was truly opened
- Why the Book of Enoch fails the biblical test for inclusion in the canon
Key Scriptures Discussed
- Psalm 12:6–7 – God’s promise to preserve His Word
- Genesis 6:5–8 – God’s judgment on the wickedness of man
- Isaiah 53:10–12 – The Messiah as intercessor
- Hebrews 7:24–25 – Christ ever lives to make intercession
- Romans 8:26–27 – The Spirit’s intercession for the saints

- Psalm 8:3–8 – Man’s place in God’s order
- Psalm 115:16 – The heavens are the Lord’s, the earth given to men
- Ezekiel 1:26–28 – Ezekiel’s vision of God’s throne
- Revelation 4:1–8 – John’s vision of the throne in heaven
- Hebrews 9:6–12 – When the way into the holiest was made manifest
- Job 4:18 – God charging His angels with folly
Summary
The Bible does not leave the question of authority open-ended.
God has preserved His Word, and He has revealed a clear structure for redemption, intercession, and divine order. When the Book of Enoch is tested against that standard, it falls short—especially in its teaching about angels, intercession, and access to the heavenly realm.
This episode concludes the series by showing why the Book of Enoch should be treated as historical literature, not Scripture—and why believers must keep the canon grounded in what God has preserved and promised.
