The Apocrypha ('hidden things') are contemporaneous with the Old Testament, but were not officially accepted as part of the Bible when the Hebrew 'canon' was set.They did, however, form part of the Greek Scriptures and came into English Bibles by that route.The writings of the Apocrypha run the whole gamut of literary genres: histories, romances, devotional works, proverbs and sermons.Etymologically, the word "apocrypha" means "things that are hidden", but why they were hidden is not clear.Some have suggested that the books were "hidden" from common use because they contained esoteric knowledge, too profound to be communicated to any except the initiated...EnochThe study of Enoch’s words awakened the desire to explore spiritual dimensions in a deeper way.Enoch once said: “I write not for my own, but for the extreme future generations, for you human beings who will come”.Enoch, the seventh of Adam’s descendants describes his journey through the seven heavens, where he receives revelations like when he is described the creation of the world and the secrets of the future.Enoch’s journey culminates with the encounter with God after a life that lasted 365 years.From the mists of time he has shown humanity a luminous path to follow.Enoch goes back to the causes of evil and great are his sufferings for human wickedness and his exhortations to cultivate good and wisdom.The texts were carefully reformatted and reproduced to provide the reader with a comprehensive collection of the most critical lost, rejected, and forgotten books of the Bible.In an effort to build an all-in-one volume of these texts; we present to you the "The Lost Books of the Bible”.Why do angels and archangels interact with high-minded human beings?The Ancient Books tells the history of the angels who fell in the days of Jared, Enoch’s father, who married human women and conducted genetic experiments.This commentary includes a previously unknown chapter from the Dead Sea Scrolls that explains how they did their genetic tampering.“In every period of crisis in human history, when morality is despised and wickedness reigns everywhere, divine help is invoked that will make its supreme justice prevail against all the diabolical and materialistic oppositions of earthly justice”.In 1945 a chance discovery yielded a treasure trove of ancient documents in Upper Egypt at a place called Nag Hammadi.A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed.The Lost Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia.Knowledge that has been kept secret by the church for nearly two thousand years is laid bare for all to see, thereby ending the greatest deception mankind has ever suffered.“With her own eyes, she saw him.With her own ears, she heard him.With her own hands, she touched him.”Pistis SophiaPistis Sophia is a Gnostic text discovered in 1773, which some scholars place in the late 4th century, relates one Gnostic group's teachings of the transfigured Jesus.In this text, the risen Jesus had spent eleven years speaking with his disciples, teaching them only the lower mysteries. After eleven years, he receives his true garment and is able to reveal the higher mysteries revered by this group.The prized mysteries relate to complex cosmologies and knowledge necessary for the soul to reach the highest divine realms.
