Why did Pharisaic and Rabbinic Judaism seek to marginalize the influence of the Book of Enoch during the first century of the Common Era?
Well here are just a few excerpts taken from Chapters 48 thru to 51 in the Book of Enoch that might help to explain why.
And at that hour that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and His name before the Head of Days.
Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall and he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.
And for this reason hath He been chosen and hidden before Him, before the creation of the world and for evermore.
And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed Him to the holy and righteous for He hath preserved the lot of the righteous because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness and have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits: For in His name they are saved and according to His good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.
In these days downcast in countenance shall the kings of the earth have become and the strong who possess the land because of the works of their hands. For on the day of their anguish and affliction they shall not save themselves and I will give them over into the hands of Mine Elect.
...And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth, and before them they shall fall and not rise again. There shall be no one to take them with his hands and raise them for they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His Anointed One. The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.
For wisdom is poured out like water, and glory faileth not before Him for evermore.
For He is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness and unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow and have no continuance. Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits and His glory is for ever and ever and His might unto all generations.
And in Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might, and the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
And He shall judge the secret things and none shall be able to utter a lying word before Him for He is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
In those days a change shall take place for the Holy and Elect, and the Light of Days shall abide upon them and glory and honor shall turn to the holy.
...They shall have no honor through the name of the Lord of Spirits yet through His name shall they be saved, and the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on them for His compassion is great.
And He is righteous also in His judgement and in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall not maintain itself: At His judgement the unrepentant shall perish before Him.
...In those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it. Sheol also shall give back that which it has received, and hell shall give back that which it owes.
For in those days the Elect One shall arise and He shall choose the righteous and holy from among them.
For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.
And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne and His mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel for the Lord of Spirits hath given to Him and hath glorified Him.
In those days shall the mountains leap like rams and the hills also shall skip like lambs satisfied with milk, and the faces of the angels in heaven shall be lighted up with joy.
And the earth shall rejoice and the righteous shall dwell upon it and the Elect shall walk thereon.
