The Book of Enoch Claims Angels Built the Ark

 

Enoch 67:2 says that angels built a great wooden structure—the Ark—and that God would preserve life through it. This completely contradicts the Bible’s account.

Scripture is clear: God commanded Noah himself to build the Ark (Genesis 6:14–16). The Bible emphasizes Noah’s obedience to God’s instructions: “Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he” (Genesis 6:22). The New Testament reinforces this truth, praising Noah’s faith in preparing the Ark “to the saving of his house” (Hebrews 11:7).

By giving credit to angels rather than Noah, the Book of Enoch erases the very example of faith and obedience the Bible holds up in Noah’s life. This shows how the book promotes teachings that directly oppose the message of Scripture.
