  1. A lot of the “Mystery” religions who claim to have had esoteric doctrine divided things up into 3 levels or 3 degrees. From the Druids, to the Mithras, even the Jews.
    At the very least, religions have always had a three tiered universe of Spirit World where the Dead go, Terrestrial Earth where we are now, and Heavenly Abode of the Gods. Nibley mentions this in many writings.
    Three is often seen as a important number.

    Thank you, Bryce, for writing this piece. Dr. Andrei Orlov is recognized world-wide for his Enoch scholarship, and I believe it is very helpful for Latter-day Saint research. I hope that his research can be an inspiration for us to delve deeper into the rich Enoch tradition (as well as other pseudepigraphal works) and realize just how amazing the treasures Joseph Smith passed on to us really are.
