Enoch (the great grandfather of Noah) is mentioned in the Canonical Old and New Testaments of the bible. The manuscript that Enoch wrote is also quoted extensively in the Canonical Old and New Testament of the bible.
The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) is thousands of years old, and arguably the most concise ancient text given to mankind by God about the generations of the world before it happened. It was a household book in Israel at the time of Jesus with an introduction that is addressed to the people who will be alive in the last days:
The Book of Enoch 1:1-3 (Apocryphal Old Testament)
"The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said - Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come..."
