Means that you obtain the gift of speaking by hearing and actual interaction with someone speaking when you were a child.
Humans that never have that interaction during what is called the of critical period of development will never obtain the ability to communicate using the spoken word. Look up "The Forbidden Experiment" and and then look up Jenny, the feral child to see the reason why it is forbidden. This section of the video tells you why the ability is lost. Since we acquire the ability to speak by not only hearing the spoken word but by interacting with some who can speak then how did the first men acquire the ability to speak.
Means that you unless somebody who knew how to read taught you then you would never have develop the ability by read the spoken word by yourself.
Funny thing about reading is that you need a book, or the written word,before you can learn how to read. And without the written word to see, then it makes it kinda hard to learn how to write.
They were all here on this planet when they wrote the words of their prophesy, Enoch didn't write his book until after "he was not." So how did his writings make it back to earth.
Hello UnoiAmarah. Your presumption is that no one in Enoch's time knew how to read or write, so no one could have taught him. The reason we know that's a presumption, is that there are no facts to back it up. The little evidence we have does not support your premise-- the evidence we have is in fact a book of Enoch, so it was either dictated and copied, or written by Enoch himself. In either case, somone "in Enoch's day" knew how to write, by virtue of the existence of the book itself. The fact that scripture quotes Enoch is proof enough that it existed. Furthermore, the Dead Sea Scrolls contained numerous fragmented sections in Aramaic, of the book of Enoch.
I'm going to go out on a limb and take a wild guess that you have never personally read the book of Enoch yourself, or that you forgot the narrative if you have. In the book of Enoch, it's explained as follows.... it reads like a modern day alien abduction encounter-
And they took and brought me to a place in which those who were there were like flaming fire, and, when they wished, they appeared as men. And they brought me to the place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to heaven.
Enoch is taken North, South, East and West.... to the portals of the heavens and to the hidden places in the earth.... and like John, or even Paul (who was taken up to the third heaven) he returns* -or simply awakens from the spiritual (out of body) experience/dream/vision and reports what he saw and heard.
He describes it like this>>
And after those days in that place where I had seen all the visions of that which is hidden--for I had been carried off in a whirlwind and they had borne me towards the west...
--and he tells his story, and teaches in parable, and he is the one who enlightens his grandson Noah, concerning the coming destruction of the earth by flood.
The book of Jasher further explains that Enoch was an upright man-- that's why he's in the book of the Upright/Jasher. When Enoch was 65 years old he secreted himself away from others.... maybe this here, is why the retirement age is 65.
And the soul of Enoch was wrapped up in the instruction of the Lord, in knowledge and in understanding; and he wisely retired from the sons of men, and secreted himself from them for many days.
And it was at the expiration of many years, whilst he was serving the Lord, and praying before him in his house, that an angel of the Lord called to him from Heaven, and he said, Here am I.
And the spirit of God was upon Enoch, and he taught all his men the wisdom of God and his ways, and the sons of men served the Lord all the days of Enoch, and they came to hear his wisdom.
It sounds a lot like Jesus. It sounds a lot like Elijah..... or the Jesus story sounds a lot like Elijah- who came before him and Elijah sounds a lot like Enoch, who came before him.
As John wrote:
No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
So then it isn't that these men somehow went up into heaven and returned to earth-- rather, the son of Man-- the spiritual anointing fell (descended) upon them.
