The Book of Enoch's vision of the Apocalypse takes a very different view than that of traditional Christians: according to Enoch, the wicked shall be cast out and the good will realise a literal heaven on Earth. The prophecies, also, contain the lost "Book of Noah," early references to a messiah as "Christ" and an accounting of the angels and subsequent creation of demons.
