Moses has faced the challenge of the Pharaoh, the Egyptian military, the organization of two million people, the tremendous daily workload, and he has maintained a steady faith in God to provide for the needs of the Israelites. But, one thing that Moses didn’t see coming and was not prepared to handle was the constant stream of complaining and unbelief that came from the sin nature of the people he was trying to lead.

Moses begins to complain to the Lord concerning his job assignment that seems more like a punishment from God, than an honorable position of leadership given to a man who has found favor in the Lord’s eyes. Moses considers himself a servant of the Lord who has been given trouble by having to carry these people who are a burden.

Moses then asks God, “Did I conceive and give birth to all these people?” Then in Numbers 11:15 Moses asks God to show him favor by simply killing him at once so Moses doesn’t have to deal with this wretched situation.

The text in the
Book of Enoch comes from 350-20 BC. It is a mix of the biblical account with Israeli apocalyptic prophecies and wisdom theology that was popular during the days of the Greeks and Romans. The two portions of Scripture that are developed in the
Book of Enoch are:
1) Genesis 6:1-4 where angels mate with women and produce a race of giants that destroy the earth. They are killed in the flood, but their spirits become disembodied spirits that haunt the earth and are a source of sin and misery.
2) Genesis 5:21-24 when Enoch walks with God and learns the secrets of the universe while in heaven.
Enoch hears of the coming judgments including the
Flood of Noah and the
final judgment.
