Western scholars currently assert that its older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) date from about 300 B.C. and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably was composed at the end of the 1st century B.C. The book was composed partially in Aramaic, partially in Hebrew, and partially in Angelic Celestial. A short section of 1 Enoch (1En1:9) is quoted in the New Testament (Letter of Jude 1:14-15), and there apparently attributed to "Enoch the Seventh Descendant of Adam" (1En60:8). It is argued that all the writers of the Old Testament were familiar with it and were influenced by the original writings from Enoch. Eleven Aramaic-language fragments of the Book of Enoch were found in cave number 4 of Qumran in 1948, and are in the care of the Israel Antiquities Authority. They were translated for and discussed by Józef Milik and Matthew Black in 'The Books of Enoch'. Another translation has been released by Vermes and Garcia-Martinez. Milik described the documents as being white or cream in color, blackened in areas, made of leather which was smooth, thick and stiff. It was also partly damaged with the ink blurred and faint. In the 1976 publication by Milik of the results of the paleographic dating of the Enochic fragments found in Qumran made a breakthrough. According to this scholar who studied the original scrolls for many years, the oldest fragments of the Book of Watchers are dated 200-150 BC. Since the Book of Watchers shows evidence of multiple stages of composition, it is probable that this work was extant by the 3rd century B.C. The same can be said about the Astronomical Book.
It was no longer possible to claim that the core of Book of Enoch was composed in the wake of the Maccabean Revolt as a reaction to Hellenization". Scholars thus had to look for the origins of the Qumran sections of 1 Enoch in the previous historical period, and the comparison with traditional material of such a time showed that these sections do not draw exclusively on categories and ideas prominent in the Hebrew Bible.
Evidence from around the world, indicates these people were the hi-tech survivors of the previous civilization. Like the nuclear survival bunkers and secret research facilities of our civilization, there were those who arose from the underground "cities of the Gods", after the dust settled.
The SIRA radar was deployed in Egypt as early as 1978, mapping an extraordinary subterranean complex beneath the Egyptian pyramids. Arrangements made with President Sadat of Egypt, resulted in three decades of top secret excavations to penetrate the system. At a recent meeting in Australia, one of the key scientists on the Giza project, Dr. Jim Hurtak, showed film footage of work in progress called, ' Chambers of the Deep ', due to be released at the end of the 20th century. The film revealed a vast 15,000 year old megalithic metropolis that reached below the Giza plateau more than two miles down. ( Metropolis in Osharian means: Metro = a man made circle area of space enclosed . Polis= a large underground enclosed area , which is in most cases surrounded by water.)
In the Dead Sea Scrolls, revealed the lost Books Of Enoch removed from the Bible by early religious leaders, Enoch describes a wondrous civilisation in the past, who misused the keys of higher knowledge and were unable to save themselves from the last cataclysm ( which might have happened around 10,908 B.C. To around 10,500 B.C. Both literally and figuratively the 'Keys', were taken away from Earth when Alta son of Atlas, ( An Altarian ruler, and leader of ' The Council of the Tree of the Knowledge of Chaos and Order '); tried to take the capital city state of Metropolis by force. They lost much of their higher knowledge, yet Enoch, in many traditions including the Mayan legends of Quetzacoatal, promised to return this knowledge at "The end of days ", which is the end of the present precession time cycle.
Zadokites: People of Zadok, ruled by one king and a family of 9 priests. Zadokites (2) (Heb., ‘Benei Zadok’, ‘Sons of Zadok’). Members of the ascetic community at Qumran. According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, ‘the sons of Zadok are the elect of Israel, called by name, who arise in the latter days. (3) Ancient descendants of the Oshar.
Zadok: "Righteous" Zadik were the instructors who was to put the scholars in possession of knowledge according to his spiritual qualities and according to the regulation of time. A special teacher whose true identity is hidden and who is given the power to instruct the elect and elite in the marvelous secret truth in the midst of men of the community, so that they might walk perfectly in the light. (2) A prophet and priest that helped king David. He helped bring the Ark back to Jerusalem. He was a prophetic seer and model for the genuine scribes of YHWH who worked as the ' Elders of the Faith'; preserving the teachings of YHWH as true living god from generation to generation. (3) ancient descendants of the Order of Oshar.
Zadok Priesthood: The under ground priesthood of astrophysical messiah-ship that has carried on the true spiritual-scientific teachings on the planet when the Sons of Levi and the Sons of Aaron went astray. The Zadok were high priest renowned priest of Ezra the 'Men of great assembly'. They are said to be ' the Repentant of Israel who went out from the land of Judah. They were the chosen of Israel, the elected and elite by the name, who shall arise in the end of days. (3) descendants of the Council of the tree of truth.
The communities of Zadok: They have borne witness to god's word throughout history and time, which will uncover the hidden knowledge of Ruach Kodesh ( holy spirit) before the return of MSHTHY, Mem-Shin-He-Yod-He-Yod.
_______________________________________________________________________
A son of Ahitub, of the line of Eleazar (2 Samuel 8:17; 1 Chronicles 24:3), high priest in the time of David (2 Sam. 20:25) and Solomon (1 Kings 4:4) (1 Kings 4:2). He is first mentioned as coming to take part with David at Hebron (1 Chr. 12:27, 28). He was probably on this account made ruler over the Aaronites (27:17). During the rebellion of Absalom, Zadok gained still greater prominence. He and the Levites wished to accompany the fleeing David with the Ark of the Covenant, but the king begged them to remain at Jerusalem, where they could do him better service (II Sam. xv. 24-29; comp. 35), so that it actually happened that Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, brought the king an important message (ib. xvii. 21). In all these passages Zadok is mentioned before Abiathar.
Zadok and Abiathar acted as high priests on several important occasions (1 Chr. 15:11; 2 Sam. 15:24-29, 35, 36); but when Adonijah endeavoured to secure the throne, Abiathar went with him, and therefore Solomon "thrust him out from being high priest," and Zadok, remaining faithful to David, became high priest alone (1 Kings 2:27, 35; 1 Chr. 29:22). In him the line of Phinehas resumed the dignity, and held it till the fall of Jerusalem. His sons were Ahimaaz and Azariah, of whom it is unclear who was the next high priest.

[10] (And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof. )
[11] ( It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.)
[12] ( And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.)
Reliable historical data show that the high-priesthood remained in the hands of the Zadokites from this time until the rise of the Maccabees, in about 167 BC.[citation needed] The descendants of Zadok increased in rank and influence, so that his son Azariah was one of the princes of Solomon (I Kings iv. 2), and the Ahimaaz who married a daughter of Solomon was probably another of Zadok's children (ib. iv. 15). Either Zadok himself or his grandson was the ruler of the Aaronites (I Chron. xxvii. 17), and Jerusha, the mother of Jotham, is apparently termed the daughter of Zadok to emphasize her noble lineage, since her father may have been a descendant of the first Zadok (II Kings xv. 33; II Chron. xxvii. 1). A Zadok is also mentioned in the genealogy of Joseph, the father of Jesus (Matt. i. 14).G. S. Kr. It is believed that the Sadducees (Hebrew "Tzedukim") derived the name of their faction from Zadok. A Rabbi Zadok is also mentioned as saved in Talmud (Bavli Gittin 56B) by Yohanan ben Zakkai, when he makes his deal with Vespasian. Many[who?] see this Rabbi Zadok as the correct descendant of the high priest clan.
The house of Zadok occupied the high priesthood through much of the Second Temple's time, from Jehoshua ben Jehozadak after the Exile, down to Simon II (much praised in Ben Sira 50), his eldest son Onias III, and his usurping second son Jason (or Jehoshua), who introduced the programme of Hellenization that eventually led to the Maccabean Revolt. Josephus records that Onias IV went to Leontopolis in the Egyptian nome of Heliopolis with a significant following, and for lending military support to the Ptolemaic Pharaoh was given land to build a temple to rival the Temple in Jerusalem (although Josephus also ascribes this to Onias III, while dating the project so as to suggest Onias II). It has been suggested that Onias or members of his Zadokite house may have also founded the community at Qumran. The Dead Sea Scrolls suggest a central role for 'the sons of Zadok the Priests' within the community; the 'Teacher of Righteousness' (Moreh Zedek) named as founder may point to a Zadokite. ]]
