Hi riccetts!
A couple questions:
Is there a reason you're asking "in the KJV" instead of just "in the bible"?
What are your thoughts on 1 Enoch's authenticity?

My opinion on this is I think this book was for Enoch and not meant for us. From what I read and it wasn't much I thought it was a very dark book.

I have ambivalent feelings about 1 Enoch. On the one hand, I doubt it provenance. It shows up so late in the historical record (and at a time when pseudopedographal writings were popular) and if it were really written by Enoch, it would, in my view or human origins, be tens of thousands of years old.
That said, it seems to have influenced the NT and makes many valid Christological developments to OT theology, which makes me think that God used this pseudopedographal work for his purposes in preparing his people for the advent of Christ.

Is it a pre-dated book? Before Genesis? I would think if God wanted us to know about this book He would had put it in the bible. I also had another question. Does it mention anywhere in the bible about the world being flat? and if were flat where would be the fall off point? I don't believe this to be true but I'm hearing alot about it.

You mean you think He would have arranged for it to be included in the canon the church put together? I share the sentiment, but it is a little tricky since the Bible we do have seems influenced by, or perhaps even cite some of Enoch's content.
