In this premiere episode of Theology in the Underworld, Dr. Hans Moscicke explores the striking influence of Enochic and Watchers traditions on Matthew 25’s Parable of the Sheep and the Goats.This episode argues that Matthew’s apocalyptic judgment scene draws on Second Temple Jewish traditions preserved in 1 Enoch—especially the Parables of Enoch and the Azazel / Watchers tradition—to shape its portrayal of the Son of Man, fallen angels, and eschatological punishment.Chapters:0:00 Introduction: Matthew 25 and the Book of Enoch1:28 Purpose of the Video and Scholarly Scope3:10 Why Matthew 25 Is Unique in the Bible5:22 The Son of Man and the Throne of Glory8:10 Dating the Parables of Enoch11:05 Scholarly Consensus on Enoch and Matthew13:30 Throne of Glory Parallels in 1 Enoch16:45 The Son of Man Judging Angels19:40 Eternal Fire and the Fate of Azazel23:10 Six Major Parallels Between Matthew 25 and Enoch26:55 Earthly Kings and Angelic Judgment30:05 Matthew 22 and Binding in Darkness33:40 Azazel, Scapegoat Traditions, and Yom Kippur37:45 The Apocalypse of Abraham and Garment Imagery40:55 Why Enoch Matters for New Testament Theology43:30 Conclusion and What’s Coming Next👍 Please leave a 5-star review to help me grow!!Thanks for watching!Christ is King,Dr. Hans
