1 – Enoch Prophecy of Future Tribulation and Judgment.
Enoch 1: 1-9 The words of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the chosen ones (elect) and the righteous, who were to live (exist) in the time of tribulation (trouble), (Matthew 24:7-13, 21-22) (Those rejecting) when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. 2 And he took up this parable and spoke, Enoch was a righteous person, whose eyes were opened by God, and he saw sacred vision in the heavens about the Holy One and told about it. The angels showed me this. I heard everything from them and understood what I saw. It will not take place in this generation, but in a generation, which will come at a future point. 3 I spoke and conversed with him about the chosen ones, so I took a up parable concerning them: The sacred mighty one (The Great Holy One) will leave his dwelling. 4 The eternal God will tread on the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai. (Amos 4:13) He will appear with his hosts and (from his camp he will) appear with his powerful strength from heaven. (2 Ezra 13:1-13) 5 Everyone will be afraid, and the Watchers will be terrified. Great fear and trembling will grip them, as far as to the ends of the earth. 6 (Micah 1:3-4) The high mountains will be shaken, (Matthew 24:29-31) and the high hills brought low, melting like wax (honeycomb) in the flame. (Enoch 52:6, Psalms 97:3-5) 7 The earth will be ripped open, and everything in it will perish, (2 Peter 3:7, 10-12) and there will be judgment on all of mankind. (Isaiah 66:15-16) 8 But he will give peace to the righteous. He will safeguard the chosen and show them compassion (he will make peace with them). Then they will all belong to God, and they will be prosperous and blessed. (He will help them) (Revelation 7:14-17) His light will appear to them. (Deuteronomy 33:2) He will make peace with them. 9 Behold the Lord comes with tens of thousands of his devoted Holy Ones, to carry out judgments (as he executes righteous decrees upon the wicked and the ungodly) on everyone, to cross-examine every soul among them who has committed sacrilege (their ungodliness), about their sacrilegious acts, and about all the harsh things those sacrilegious wrongdoers (sinners) have said about him. (Jude 1:14-15)
Chapter 1 Commentary
Enoch points out that there is going to be a time of tribulation to a generation which will come at future point to the Chosen and Righteous. Then at that time the wicked will be removed from the earth, but to the chosen ones and to the righteous ones there would be peace given to them. God will come with his host and tread upon the earth and there will come to be the time of the shaking and judgment upon all mankind.
2 – God’s Works are Steadfast and Faithful.
Enoch 2: 1 All who are in (observe) the heavens know what happens there. They (and) know that the heavenly luminaries do not change their paths, that each rise’s and sets regularly at the proper (season) time, without wandering off (transgressing) from their appointed order. 2 Observe the earth, and take notice of what happens there, from the beginning to the end, (steadfast they are) how nothing changes, but God’s work is apparent. (Romans 1:18-22) 3 Observe the summer and winter, how the whole earth is full of water, and that the cloud, the dew, and the rain lie upon it.
Enoch 3: 1 Observe how every tree appears to wither and shed its leaves (in winter), 2 except for fourteen trees, which are not deciduous but retain their old leaves for two or three winters until the new leaves appear.
Enoch 4: 1 And again, observe the days of summer, how the sun is (beaming down) on it at the very beginning (early in the morning), 2 while you look for a covered and shady spot due to the burning sun. The earth burns with scorching heat, and because of that heat you cannot walk on the ground or the rocks.
Enoch 5: 1 Observe how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and produce fruit. Observe (pay your regards and acknowledge) that he who lives forever has made all these things, 2 and that his works continue from year to year, and that all the tasks they do for him do not change, but things are brought to pass as God has appointed (ordained) them to do so. (Job 39:1-6) 3 Observe how the seas and the rivers together do what they are meant to do. (Proverbs 10:1-32) 4 But you have not been unwavering (steadfast), nor have you carried out the Lord’s instructions, but you have misbehaved in your pride and spoken nasty, spiteful words with your polluted mouths against his magnificence You are hard hearted, no peace will come to you! (Deuteronomy 28:15-68) 5 Therefore, you will curse (execrate) your days, and your lives will come to an end, you will be the object of increasing and perpetual cursing, and you will not find compassion (nor mercy). 6 In those times, all the righteous will consider your names to be an abhorrent curse, and all who curse, will curse by you. All the wrongdoers and the unrighteous will invoke evil by you, and for you, the godless, there will be a curse. (2 Peter 1:1-4) Then they will celebrate, and there will be forgiveness for wrongdoings, and compassion, peace, and tolerance. (Psalm 37:1-40) There will be a rescue for them (salvation), a good light. But on all you (sinners) there will be a curse no salvation. 7 But for the chosen ones there will be light, favor, and peace, (Zechariah 8:12) and they will inherit the earth. (Psalms 69:32-36) 8 Wisdom will be given to the chosen ones. (1 Corinthians 2:6-10, James 1:5) They will live and not (sin) doing no wrong whether through godlessness or pride, but the wise ones will be humble. (Matthew 25:34) 9 They will not (transgress in sin nor) do wrong again for the rest of their lives. They will not die as a result (the divine wrath) of anger or torment but will live out the full term of their lives. They will grow old in peace, while their lives will increase with happiness, and with peace, for all the days of their lives. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
Chapter 2-5 Commentary
The works of God are apparent, and we are obligated to pay regards to the only true God, we should acknowledge that he has made all things. We should bless him and cry out for the Lord’s instruction. God has used Enoch God to call out those angels who have left their sanctuary. They did not carry out God’s instructions they misbehaved and were prideful they harden their heart toward God so as to sin. So, too, the wrongdoers of mankind will speak evil things and bring forth cursing’s from their mouths using the name of these fallen angels.
Cursed are all the ones who will harden their heart and who will speak nasty words against the Most High One himself. Peace, joy and the gladness of you heart will be for the lovers of God.
6 – The Sin of Disobedience Grows into Outright Wickedness.
Enoch 6: 1 It happened after the humans had multiplied, that in those times daughters were born to them, and they were attractive and beautiful. 2 When the angels, the inhabitants of heaven, saw them, they lusted after them and said to each other, “Come on, let’s choose consorts (wives) for ourselves from the humans, and let’s produce children!” (Genesis 6:1-2) 3 Then their leader Semjaza said to them, “I’m concerned as I fear that perhaps you won’t agree to carry out this venture, and that I alone will have to pay the penalty for such a serious crime (sin).” 4 But they answered, “Let’s all swear an oath, and bind ourselves by mutual curses, that we will not change our minds but carry through this venture.” 5 So, they swore all together and bound themselves by mutual curses (imprecations). 6 They were two hundred in number, they descended in the time of Jared, on the top of Mount Hermon. (Joshua 11:3 at the base of Mount Hermon, Mizpah it means Watchtower) They called it Mount Hermon because they had sworn an oath on it and bound themselves by mutual curses. (The root name Hermon means Evolve / Discarded = Forever Accursed) 7 These are the names of their leaders: Semjaza, who was their leader, Arakiba, Rameel, Kokaqbiel, Ramuel, Tamiel, Ramiel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarerl, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsapeel, Satareil, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. 8 These were the leaders (chiefs) of the groups of ten.
Enoch 7: 1 They and the rest took consorts (wife’s). Each one chose their own. They had sex with them and defiled themselves with them. They taught them charms and sorceries, the cutting of roots, and the uses of plants. (Acquainted them with the advance knowledge) 2 The women got pregnant and gave birth to Nephilim (The Giants) whose height was three hundred cubits. 3 They consumed everything humans produced. When humans could no longer sustain them, 4 they (The Giants) turned against them, in order to consume them (mankind). 5 They began to do wrong (sin) against birds, beasts, reptiles, and fish, and to eat each other’s flesh, and to drink their blood. 6 Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Enoch 8: 1 Azazel taught humans to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, and showed them metals of the earth and the art of alchemy, and bracelets and ornaments, the use of antimony and paint, the beautifying of the eyelids, the use of all types of precious stones, and all sorts of dyes. 2 Then wickedness and immorality increased, and they disobeyed, and everything they did was corrupt. 3 Semjaza taught spell potions, and root cuttings, Armaros taught the resolving of spell potions, Baraqijal taught astrology, Kokabel taught the constellations, Ezeqeel taught the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamseil the signs of the sun, and Sareil the course of the moon. 4 And as humans perished, they cried out, and their voice reached heaven. (Genesis 6:3-7)
Chapter 6-8 Commentary
We can see that this one act of sin by the sons of God led to so much more disobedience that it created an environment of wickedness for all of the earth. How did God feel about what was going on?
9 – The Cry of Complaint.
Enoch 9: 1 Then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much bloodshed on earth, and all the lawlessness that was happening on the earth. 2 They said one to another, “It’s the voice of their cries! (Genesis 4:10) The earth deprived of her children has cried as far as the (gates) portal of heaven. And now people’s souls complain to you, 3 you sacred ones of heaven! They say, “Bring our case to the Most High!” (Genesis 6:5-6) 4 Then they said to their Lord, “You are Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings. Your splendid throne lasts forever and ever, and as your name is sacred, magnificent, and blessed forever and ever. 5 You have made everything, and you have power over everything, everything is naked, open, and clear before you (your eyes). You see everything, and nothing can be hidden from you. 6 “You have seen what Azazel has done, how he has taught every lawless act (unrighteousness) on earth and has disclosed to the world all the (eternal) secret things which are done (preserved) in the heavens which humans were keen to know (men are striving to learn) 7 also Semjaza, to whom you have given authority over his associates. 8 They have gone together to the human women, have had sex with them, and have defiled themselves, and have revealed these crimes (sins) to them. 9 And the women likewise have given birth to Nephilim, and so the whole earth has been filled with blood and lawlessness. 10 And now behold the souls of those who are dead cry out and complain, even at heaven’s portals! Their groaning ascends! It cannot stop due to the lawlessness which is committed on earth. 11 “You know everything before it happens. You know these things, and what has been done by them, (You suffer them) yet you do not tell us what we are supposed to do about it?” (Genesis 6:11-12)
Chapter 9 Commentary
Not all of Gods sons were lead in this rebellion, there were four angels that present to God the complaints that are brought forth from the earth. They show themselves eager to right the wrongs that are being done to the earth. So, can God really suffer pain?
10 – What Shall be Done?
Enoch 10: 1 Then the Most High, the sacred great one spoke. He sent Uriel to Lamech’s son, (Go to Noah) and say to him, (Genesis 5:28-29) 2 “Tell him in my name, ‘Hide yourself!’, then explain to him the event that is about to happen, that the whole earth will be destroyed, that a flooding deluge will cover the whole earth, and everything in it will be destroyed. (Genesis 6:16-22) 3 And now tell him how he may escape, and how his descendants may remain for all generations on the earth.” 4 Again, the Lord said to Raphael, “Bind Azazel hand and foot, cast him into the darkness! Make an opening in the desert which is in Dudael and throw him in there! 5 Put him on rough and pointed stones (jagged rocks) and cover him with darkness. Let him stay there forever and cover his face so he cannot see the light. 6 And in the day of the great judgment he will be thrown into the fire. (Revelation 20:10,14) 7 Restore the earth, which the angels have corrupted, (heal) and proclaim life to it, (that they may heal from the plague) that they may restore it. And all the humans will not perish as a result of all the secrets of the Watchers, and which they have taught to their offspring (sons). 8 All the earth has been corrupted by the works that were taught by Azazel. The blame for the whole crime (sin) rests on him!” 9 The Lord said to Gabriel, “Go to the bastards, to the reprobates (the good-for-nothing rogues), to the offspring of immorality (fornication), and destroy them, the offspring (sons) of the Watchers, from among the humans, and send them against one another so that they will perish by killing one another, for they will not live long lives. 10 No request their fathers make of you will be granted on their behalf. They wish to live eternally but each one of them will (only) live for five hundred years.” 11 The Lord said to Michael, “Go and bind Semjaza and his associates who have had sex with women and so have completely polluted (defiled) and contaminated themselves (with uncleanness)! 12 And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them for seventy generations under the earth, until the day of their judgment and of their end, until the judgment (consumption) that lasts forever is completed. 13 In those times they will be taken away to the lowest depths of the (abyss of) fire and tormented and they will be shut up in prison forever. 14 Immediately after this any whosoever will be condemned and destroyed and they will all be bound together for generation after generations.”15 Destroy all the lustful spirits, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have (wronged and) committed crimes against humankind. 16 Let all oppressors perish from the face of the earth and let every evil work be destroyed. Let the plant of justice and truth appear and (let it) become a blessing. Justice and truth will be forever planted with enjoyment. 17 And then all the (righteous) devoted people will be thankful (the escaped), and live until they have produced a thousand children, while the whole time of their youth, and their old age, will come to an end peacefully. 18 In those times (days) the whole earth will be cultivated with justice and will be planted with trees and be filled with blessings. 19 And all desirable trees will be planted on it. They will plant vines on it. (Isaiah 65:20-24) The vines which they plant will yield abundant wine. Every seed which is sown on it will produce a thousand measures for one measure and produce ten presses of oil for one measure of olives. (Isaiah 66:14-19) 20 (And you will) Cleanse the earth from all (unrighteousness, sin and) oppression, from all injustice, from all crimes, from all godlessness, and from all the pollution which is committed on it. Eliminate them from the earth. (Matthew 19:28) 21 Then all the humans will be just (and righteous), and all nations will highly respect me and bless me, and all will esteem me, (and worship me). (Revelation 7:9-17) 22 The earth will be cleansed from all defilement, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send torment on it for generation after generation, forever.
Enoch 11: 1 In those days I will open the storehouses of blessing (Malachi 3:10) which are in heaven, so as to make them descend on earth over all the work and labor of humankind. (Deuteronomy 28:1-13) 2 Peace (truth) and fair play will associate with humankind for all the days of the world, in every generation (of mankind). (Revelation 21:3-5)
Chapter 10-11 Commentary
The Most High God is righteous and true, and his blessings are for all who will accept him as the true God. He did not just fix a problem, but he will restore all things with the word of his mouth and his decrees that are forever lasting. This restoration was not just something that was going to happen overnight but would take thousands of years to complete. This is the outline and the directive that the high heavens follow to bring about the restoration of earth. Who will really not worship you the true God? So where are we in the stream of time? What restoration event do you and I have to look forward to?
12 – Enoch Sent to Give a Message.
Enoch 12: 1 Before all these things, Enoch was hidden, and none of the humans knew where he was hidden, where he had been, and what had happened. His days were with the sacred ones, 2 and his actions were with the Watchers. 3 I, Enoch, was blessing the great Lord and King of ages, when the Watchers called me -Enoch the scribe -and said to me, 4 “Enoch, you just (righteous) scribe of justice, go and tell (declare) the Watchers of heaven, who have deserted the high heaven, the sacred everlasting place, who have been defiled with women and have done as the humans do, by taking wives for themselves, 5 ‘You have greatly caused corruption on the earth. You will never have peace or forgiveness for your crimes (sins). 6 You will have no delight in your offspring, for you will see the slaughter of their beloved ones, and you will lament for the destruction of your children. You can make petition forever, but you will not obtain compassion or peace will you attain!”
Enoch 13: 1 Then Enoch went on and said to Azazel, “You will not find peace. A severe sentence has gone out against you, that you are to be bound. 2 You will find no relief, compassion, or granting of requests, because of the injustice you have taught, because of every act of blasphemy, lawlessness, and wrongdoing, (sins) which you have shown to humankind.” 3 Then I left him and spoke to them all together, and they were terrified, seized with fear and trembling. 4 They asked me to write a petition for them so that they might find forgiveness, and for me to read their petition in the presence of the Lord of heaven, 5 because from then on, they could not address him, or lift up their eyes to heaven on account of the appalling offence for which they were judged. 6 Then I wrote out their petition and the prayer for their spirits, for everything which they had done, and in regard to their requests, that they should have forgiveness and (length of) rest. 7 Then I continued on and sat down at the waters of Dan, in the land of Dan, to the right of the west (Southwest) of Hermon. I read their petition until I fell asleep. 8 And a dream came to me, and visions fell on me. I saw visions of punishment, so that I might relate it to the heavenly ones and reprimand them. 9 When I awoke, I went to them. They were all sitting gathered together in Abelsjail, which is situated between Lebanon and Seneser, (Senir, the west side of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range) crying, with their faces covered. I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream. 10 And I began to utter the just words of justice, reprimanding the heavenly Watchers. (Abelsjail was near Damascus.)
Chapter 12-13 Commentary
The angels of the high heavens did not want to have dealings with the fallen angels, so they sent Enoch to deliver the decrees of God to them. These fallen Angels the watchers of mankind knew that forgiveness was a possibility to attain before God so, they asked Enoch to pass their request back to God for them.
14 – Enoch Vision of God’s Throne Room.
Enoch 14: 1 This is the book of the just words, and of the reprimand of the Watchers, who are from eternity, according to what the Sacred Great One commanded in the vision. 2 I saw in my dream, what I will now speak with a tongue of flesh, and my breath, which the Mighty One has given to the human mouth to converse with and to understand with the heart. 3 As he has created and given to humans the power of comprehending the word of understanding (wisdom), so has he created and given to me the power of reprimanding the Watchers, the heavenly ones. (Ephesians 3:7-12) 4 “I have written your petition, and in my vision, it appeared to me, that what you request will not be granted to you as long as the world lasts. Judgment has been passed on you: your request will not be granted to you. 5 From this time forward, you will not ascend into heaven for all eternity, and he has said that you will be bound on the earth as long as the world lasts. 6 And before these things, you will see the destruction of your loved offspring. You will not have them, but they will fall in front of you by the sword. 7 Your petition on their behalf will not be granted, nor for yourselves, despite your crying and praying and speaking all the words in the writing which I have written.” 8 A vision appeared to me. Behold in that vision clouds and a mist invited me. The pathway of the stars and flashes of lightning summoned me and pressed me forwards, while the winds in the vision caused me to fly, speeding up my progress, and lifted me to heaven. 9 I continued until I arrived at a wall built with crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire which began to terrify me. 10 I went into the tongues of fire and drew close to a large dwelling (house) also built with crystals. Its walls and pavement were made with crystals, and the ground was also crystal. 11 Its roof was like the path of the stars and flashes of lightning, and among them were fiery cherubs in a watery (clear) sky. 12 A flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its doorway blazed with fire. 13 When I entered the dwelling, it was as hot as fire and cold as ice. 14 There was no trace of delight or life there. Terror seized me, 15 and a dread shaking seized me. Violently disconcerted and trembling, I fell on my face. In the vision I saw another dwelling bigger than the former. Every entrance to it stood open in front of me. It was built of fiery flames. 16 In every way it so excelled in splendor and magnificence and size that it is impossible to describe to you either the splendor or the extent of it. 17 Its floor was on fire and above it there were flashes of lightning and the path of the stars. Its roof was flaming fire. (Revelation 4:2-11) 18 I looked and saw that it contained a high (lofty) throne, the appearance of which was like a crystal, (Ezekiel 1:1-28) while its circumference (wheels) resembled the brilliant sun, (Daniel 7:9) and there was the voice of the cherubs. (Ezekiel 10:1-22) 19 From underneath the throne came rivers of flaming fire. To look upon it was impossible. 20 The Splendid One sat on it. His robe was brighter than the sun, and whiter than snow. 21 No angel could enter and look at his face because of the splendor and grandeur, nor could any mortal look at him. 22 The flaming fire was around him. A huge fire also continued to rise up in front of him and no one who surrounded him was able to approach him, among the myriads of myriads who were in front of him. (Revelation 5:11) He needed no counselor. 23 The most sacred ones who were near him did not leave him by night or by day, nor did they go far from him. 24 Until then I had been on my face, and trembling. Then the Lord called me with his own mouth and said, “Come here, Enoch, and hear my word.” 25 One of the holy one came and walked me up to the door. He made me rise up and approach the entrance. I bowed may face it was directed to the ground.
Chapter 14 Commentary
The vision of God’s throne room was to service as proof that the words to be spoken by Enoch were from God himself.
15 – God’s Reply for Them.
Enoch 15: 1 Then he answered me, and I heard his voice. He said, “Don’t be afraid, Enoch, you are a just scribe of justice. Approach, and hear my voice. 2 Go, and say to the heavenly Watchers, who have sent you to pray for them, ‘You ought to pray for humans, and not humans for you. (Revelation 5:8) 3 You have left the high and sacred heaven, which lasts forever, and have slept with women. You have defiled yourselves with the human women and have taken wives, you have acted like the humans, and you have produced Nephilim as your offspring! 4 “And although you were sacred, spiritual, and possessing eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, have produced with the blood of the natural realm, have lusted like humans and have done as those who are flesh and blood do. These however die and perish. 5 Therefore, I have given them wives, that they might get them pregnant and produce children with them, and that this might be conducted on the earth. 6 But you from the beginning were made spiritual, having eternal life, immortal for all generations. 7 Therefore, I did not make wives for you, because being spiritual, your dwelling is in heaven. 8 “Now the Nephilim, who are produced from spirit and flesh, will be called on earth evil spirits, and they will live on earth. 9 Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies, because they were created from humans: from the sacred Watchers was their beginning and primary origin. Evil spirits they will become on earth, and the spirits of the wicked they will be called. 10 “As for the spirits of heaven, they will live in heaven, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born on the earth, they will live on the earth. 11 The spirits of the Nephilim will oppress, afflict, destroy, do battle, and bruise on the earth. They will cause grief. They will not eat food, and they will be thirsty, they will cause trouble. 12 They will rise up against the humans, and against women, because they have proceeded from them.”
Enoch 16: 1 “During the days of slaughter and destruction of the Nephilim, whenever their spirits depart from their bodies, their flesh will be destroyed before the judgment. Thus, they will perish, until the day of the great end of the great world. A destruction will take place of the Watchers and their wickedness. 2 And now as for the Watchers, who have sent you to pray for them, who previously were in heaven, say to them, 3 ‘You have been in heaven, but all the mysteries had not been revealed to you. You knew worthless ones, and because of your stubbornness you have related these to the women, and through these mysteries women and humankind have done much evil on the earth. 4 Say to them, ‘You will never obtain peace!
Chapter 15-16 Commentary
God has revealed that it is his angels who should be praying for humans. God himself has revealed how and why the Angels were made and he revealed the purpose of mankind’s ability to reproduce. The action of these fallen Angels has created a new category, a new type of creation that will now have to be dealt with from now on. We now know why and who these wicked spirits are, they who plague mankind day and night until their ultimate judgment takes place.
17 – Enoch Taken in Travels
Enoch 17: 1 They took me to a certain place, and those who were there were like flaming fire, and when they wished to, they assumed the appearance of humans. 2 They carried me to the place of darkness, to a mountain, the top of which reached heaven. 3 And I saw the receptacles of the luminaries and treasuries of the stars and of thunder at the uttermost extremities, where it was deepest. There was a fiery bow, and arrows in their quiver, a fiery sword, and every type of lightning. 4 Then they took me to living water, and to a fire in the west, which received every setting of the sun. 5 I came to a river of fire, which flowed like water, and emptied itself into the great sea toward the west. 6 I saw every large river, until I arrived at the great darkness. I went to the place where no flesh walks. 7 I saw the mountains of the gloom of winter, and the place from which the water of every abyss flows. 8 I saw the mouths of all the rivers in the world, and the mouth of the deep.
Enoch 18: 1 I then saw the holders of all the winds. I saw how they contributed to the whole creation and the foundations of the earth. (Revelation 7:1) 2 I saw the cornerstone of the earth. 3 I also saw the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the structure of the sky. 4 And I saw the winds occupying the high sky, being in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven. 5 I saw the winds of the sky, and over the earth I saw the winds carrying the clouds. I saw the paths of the angels. 6 I saw the structure of the sky above at the extremity of the earth. Then I headed south, and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven mountains formed of superb stones, three toward the east, and three toward the south. 7 Of those which were toward the east, one was a colored stone, one was of pearl, and another of healing stone. Those toward the south were of a red stone. 8 The middle one reached to heaven like God’s throne. It was of alabaster, and the top was of sapphire. 9 I also saw a blazing fire. 10 Over all the mountains is a place on the other side of a large territory, where waters were collected. 11 I also saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire. And in the heavenly columns I saw fires, which were beyond measure both as regards their height and depth.
God’s Past Judgment
12 Beyond this abyss I also saw a place which did not have the structure of the sky above it, nor the solid ground underneath it. There was no water above it, nor any birds, but it was a desolate (horrible) place. (And there I saw seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating me.) 13 There I saw seven stars like great burning mountains, and when I inquired about them, 14 the angel said, “This place is the end of heaven and earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven. 15 The stars which roll over the fire are those which disobeyed the Lord’s instruction in the beginning of their time, because they did not come at their appointed times. 16 Therefore, he was angry with them, and bound them until the time when their sentence would be completed, in ten thousand years.”
Chapter 17-18 Commentary
Enoch describes what he sees on his travels, his perception of the reality that he was shown he describes to us. What I found to be most interesting is the discovery that God has judged angels who have disobeyed him in the past. And the judgment upon these angels wasn’t death but does have a time limit before they are to be released. What is the object lesson that we need take away from this? Is it not that God judges all and that his judgment are fair?
Enoch 19: 1 Then Uriel said to me, “The angels who were promiscuous with women will stand here. Their spirits will assume many different forms. They will defile humankind and lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods. They will stand here until the great day of judgment, in which they will be judged, until they are made an end of. 2 But their wives who were led astray by the angels of heaven will find peace.” (will become sirens) 3 And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision of the end of all things. No other human saw what I saw.
20 – The Watchers Who Did Not Fall.
Enoch 20: 1 These are the names of the sacred angels who watch. 2 Uriel, (God is my Light) one of the sacred angels, who presides over the world and Tartarus. 3 Raphael, (God Heals) one of the sacred angels, who is over human spirits. 4 Raguel, (Friend of God) one of the sacred angels, who inflicts punishment (vengeance) on the world and the luminaries. 5 Michael, (Who is like God) one of the sacred angels who is over the most (best) part of humankind, in charge of the nations (chaos). 6 Saraqael, (Communicants of God) one of the sacred angels, who presides over the spirits of the humans that do wrong. 7 Gabriel, (God is my Strength) one of the sacred angels, who presides over the seraphim, over paradise, and over the cherubim. 8 Remiel, (Thunder of God) one of the sacred angels, whom God set over those who rise.
21 – Judgment on Angels
Enoch 21: 1 Then I went to a place where things were (chaotic) dreadful. 2 There I saw (something horrible) neither a high heaven nor an established earth, but a desolate appalling spot. 3 There I saw seven stars of heaven bound together in it, like great mountains of blazing fire. 4 I said, “For what type of crime have they been bound, and why have they been thrown into this place?” 5 Then Uriel, one of the sacred angels who was with me, and who guided me, (who was the chief over them) answered, (Enoch 20:3) “Enoch, why do you ask, why do you earnestly inquire, (are you eager for the truth)? 6 These are those of the stars which have disobeyed the Lord’s commandment, and are bound here until ten thousand years, the time of their crimes, have come to pass.” 7 Afterward I went on from there to another dreadful place, more ghastly than the former, where I saw a huge blazing and glittering fire, in the middle of which there was a split as far as the abyss. It was full of huge columns of fire, and their descent was deep. I could not discover its measurement or magnitude, nor could I perceive its source. 8 Then I exclaimed, “How horrifying this place is, and how difficult to explore!” 9 Then Uriel, one of the sacred angels who was with me, answered me, “Enoch, why are you alarmed and amazed at this appalling place, at the sight of this place of pain?” 10 He told me, “This is the prison of the angels, and they are kept here forever.”
Chapter 19-21 Commentary
Judgment is real and was established with different degrees of punishment upon the angels. These judgments were to serve as a reminder that any treachery or badness would be dealt with by God himself.
22 – Separation of the Dead
Enoch 22: 1 From there I went to another spot, and he showed me an immense high mountain of hard rock in the west. 2 There were four hollow places in it which were deep and very smooth. Three of them were dark and one was bright, and there was a fountain of water in the middle of it. I said, “These beautiful places are so smooth, and so deep and dark to look at!” 3 Then Raphael, one of the sacred angels who was with me, answered, “The beautiful places have been created for this very purpose, for the spirits of the souls of the dead to assemble in them, so that all the souls of humans should assemble here. 4 They will stay in these places until the day of their judgment, until their appointed time. Their appointed time will be long, until the great judgment.” 5 And I saw the spirits of humans who were dead, and their voices reached heaven in complaint. 6 Then I asked Raphael, the angel who was with me, “Whose spirit is that, the voice of which reaches to heaven in complaint?” 7 He answered me, “This is the spirit of Abel who was slain by his brother Cain, and who will accuse that brother, until his descendants are wiped off the face of the earth, (Genesis 4:9-12) until his descendants are annihilated from the descendants of the human race.” 8 At that time, I asked about him, and about the general judgment, “Why is one separated from another?” 9 He answered, “These three have been made so that the spirits of the dead might be separated. This division has been made for the spirits of the just, in which there is the bright spring of water. 10 And this has been made for wrongdoers when they die and are buried in the earth when judgment has not been executed on them in their lifetime. 11 Here their spirits will be separated in this great pain, until the time of the great judgment, the scolding’s, and the torments of the accursed, whose souls are punished and bound there forever. 12 Thus, has it been from the beginning of the world. “And this division has been made for the spirits of those who make complaints, who give information about their destruction, when they were killed in the days of the wrongdoers. 13 This has been made for the spirits of unjust humans who are wrongdoers, those who have committed crimes, and are godless associates of the lawless. But their spirits will not be annihilated in the day of judgment, nor will they arise from this place.” (Revelation 14:9-10) 14 Then I blessed the splendid Lord, “Blessed are you, just Lord, who reigns over everything forever and ever!” (Revelation 20:10-15)
Enoch 23: 1 From there I went to another place, toward the west, to the extremities of the earth. 2 There I saw a blazing fire which ran without ceasing, and did not change its course day or night, but always continued the same. 3 I asked, “What is this, which doesn’t cease?” 4 Then Raguel, one of the sacred angels who was with me, answered, “This blazing fire, which you see running toward the west, is the fire of all the heavenly luminaries.”
Chapter 22-23 Commentary
God’s judgments are righteous and that there is to be a separation of the wrongdoers from the righteous. We also learned from this passage of Scripture that there are two judgments. There is a general judgment and then the great judgment.
24 – The Fragrant Trees
Enoch 24: 1 I went from there to another place and saw a mountain of fire which burned day and night. 2 I went past it, and saw seven impressive mountains, which were all different from each other. Their stones were dazzling and beautiful, all were brilliant and splendid to look at, and their surface was attractive. Three mountains were toward the east, and one placed on the other, and three were toward the south, one placed on the other. There were deep ravines, which did not join each other. 3 The seventh mountain was in the middle of them and was taller, resembling the seat of a throne, and fragrant trees surrounded it. 4 Among these there was a tree such as I have never smelled. None of the others there were like it. It had a fragrance beyond all other fragrances. Its leaf, its flower, and its bark never withered, and its fruit was beautiful. Its fruit resembled the cluster of the palm. 5 I exclaimed, “This tree is beautiful! Its leaves are gorgeous, and its fruit is a delight to the eye!” (Revelation 2:7) 6 Then Michael, one of the sacred splendid angels who was with me, and who was their leader,
Enoch 25: 1 responded, “Enoch, why do you inquire about the fragrance of this tree? Why are you inquisitive to know about it?” 2 Then I answered him, “I would like to know everything, but particularly about this tree.” 3 He answered me, “That Mountain which you saw, whose summit resembles God’s throne, will be the seat on which the sacred and great splendid Lord, the everlasting king, will sit when he comes down to visit the earth for the good. 4 And as for that perfumed tree of an agreeable smell, no mortal is permitted to touch it, (Revelation 2:7) until the time of the great judgment, when he will punish all and bring everything to an end forever. 5 It will then be given to the just and sacred. Its fruit will be food for the chosen. It will be transplanted to the sacred place, by the house of the Lord, the everlasting king. 6 Then will they celebrate greatly and be happy. They will enter the sacred place and its fragrance will enter their bones. They will live a long life on the earth as your ancestors lived. No sorrow, plague, trouble, or tragedy will touch them.” 7 Then I blessed the splendid Lord, the everlasting king, because he has prepared this tree for the just ones and declared that he would give it to them. (Revelation 22:1-3, 14)
Enoch 26: 1 From there I went to the middle of the earth, and saw a blessed fertile spot, which contained branches continually sprouting from the trees which were planted in it. 2 There I saw a sacred mountain, and underneath the mountain to the east there was a stream which flowed toward the south. 3 I also saw to the east another mountain higher than it, and between them was a deep, narrow ravine. A stream ran under the mountain. 4 To the west was another mountain, lower and smaller, and a deep and dry ravine ran between them. In the middle of them was another deep and dry ravine at the extremities of the three mountains. 5 All these ravines, which were deep and narrow, and formed of hard rock, had no trees planted on them. 6 And I was in awe of the rock and of the ravine; I was very much in awe.
Enoch 27: 1 Then I said, “What is the purpose of this blessed land, which is full of trees, and the accursed valley between them?” 2 Then Uriel, one of the sacred angels with me, replied, “This valley is for those who are accursed forever. Here all those who speak inappropriate language against the Lord and speak harsh things about his splendor will be collected. Here will they be collected, here will be their territory. (Luke 16:19-31) 3 In the last times, in the time of judgment in the presence of the just ones, those who have received compassion will bless the splendid Lord, the everlasting king, for all their days, forever. 4 In the time of judgment, they will bless him for his compassion, as he has assigned it to them.” 5 Then I blessed the splendid Lord, addressing him, and making mention of his greatness.
Enoch 28: 1 From there I headed east to the middle of the mountain range in the desert, and saw a wilderness, full of trees and plants, 2 and water gushed down on it. 3 A cascade of water appeared there. It was composed of many cascades of water both to the west and the east. On one side were trees, and on the other side were water and dew. The watercourse rushed to the northwest causing clouds and spray to go up on all sides.
Enoch 29: 1 Then I went to another place in the desert and approached the east of that mountain range. 2 There I saw first rate trees, those which produce frankincense and myrrh, and the trees were not alike.
Enoch 30: 1 And beyond them, I went to the east and saw another place with valleys full of water. 2 In there was a tree, the color of the fragrant trees such as the mastic. 3 And on the sides of these valleys I saw sweetly smelling cinnamon. Past these I advanced toward the east.
Enoch 31: 1 Then I saw other mountains containing trees, from which water flowed like nectar called Sarara and Galbanum. 2 And beyond these mountains I saw another mountain, (to the east end of the earth on which were aloe trees) and the trees were full of fruit (stacte) like a hard almond. 3 This fruit (when burnt) smelt sweeter than any fragrance.
Chapter 24-31 Commentary
The angel revealed that this future place was for the Lord of the whole earth. He also reveals about the timing of the great judgment. Next there is a revealing of the food that the immortals will eat from the tree of life. He also speaks about the seven mountains which reminds me of the seven spirits and stand before God. Next Enoch describes mountains and valleys and where the angel declares that those who do not deserve death will remain in these valleys tormented. Were as those who are blessed by God reside in among the trees upon the mountains. This kind of reminds me of the story that Jesus spoke of about Lazarus being with God but there was a vast chasm between the rich man and Lazarus.
Enoch 32: 1 After these things I saw the entrances of the northeast and saw seven mountains full of first-rate nard, mastic, cinnamon, and pepper. 2 From there I passed on above the summits of those mountains to some distance eastwards and went over the Erythraean Sea. (Red Sea) When I had gone far beyond it, I passed along above the angel Zotiel, 3 and arrived at the garden of justice (righteousness). There I saw from afar off, trees more numerous and greater than these trees. They were sweet smelling, large, fine-looking and elegant. The tree of knowledge was there. If anyone eats from it, they gain great wisdom. (Genesis 2:17) 4 It was like the carob tree, bearing fruit which resembled very fine grapes, and its perfume extended a great distance. 5 I exclaimed, “How beautiful is this tree, and how delightful is its appearance!” 6 Then the sacred angel Raphael who was with me, responded, “This is the tree of wisdom, of which your ancient father and your ancient mother ate, who came before you, and they obtained wisdom and their eyes were opened, and then they knew that they were naked, and were expelled from the garden.”
Enoch 33: 1 From there I went on toward the extremities of the earth, where I saw large beasts different from each other, and birds also differing in appearance, beauty and voice, different from each other. 2 To the east of these beasts I saw the extremities of the earth, where heaven rests, and the portals of heaven stood open. 3 I saw the celestial stars come out. I counted them as they proceeded out of the portal, and wrote them all down, as they came out one by one according to their number and their names, their times and their seasons, (Isaiah 40:26) as the angel Uriel, who was with me, pointed them out to me. 4 He showed them all to me and wrote them down for me. He also wrote down for me their names, their regulations, and their operations. (Psalms 147:4)
Chapter 32-33 Commentary
The angel shows the lay of the land and from that Enoch sees the angel guarding the garden of Eden. We also have a description of the tree of wisdom or knowledge of good and bad.
Enoch 34: 1 From there I went toward the north, to the extremities of the earth. There I saw a great and glorious wonder at the extremities of the whole earth. 2 There I saw three heavenly portals open, and the north winds proceed from them, blowing cold, hail, frost, snow, dew, and rain. 3 From one of the portals they blew mildly, but when they blew from the two other portals, it was with violence and force. They blew over the earth strongly.
Enoch 35: 1 From there I went to the west to the extremities of the earth and there I saw three heavenly portals such as I had seen in the east, the same number of portals, and the same number of passages.
Enoch 36: 1 From there I went south to the extremities of the earth, where I saw three heavenly open portals, from which issued dew, rain, and wind. 2 From there I went east to the extremities of heaven, where I saw three eastern heavenly portals open, and these had smaller portals within them. 3 Through each of these small portals the stars of heaven pass west by a path which is shown to them. 4 Every time they appeared, (Psalms 134:1-3) I blessed the splendid Lord, who had made those great splendid signs, in order to display the magnificence of his works to angels and to spirits and to humans, so that these would praise all his works and operations, would see his powerful works, and would praise his amazing labor, and bless him forever. (Psalms 103:20-22)
Chapter 34-36 Commentary
We may not understand how heaven itself functions, but Enoch tries to give us a description of what he sees. How would we describe solar winds, or electromagnetic fields and then try to describe the effect that they’ll have on the earth. Which no one of us can really understand the deep things of God. Just because we don’t understand some of the things Enoch is describing does it mean they are not real.
37 – The Parables
Enoch 37:1 The second vision he saw, the vision of wisdom, which Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, saw. 2 This is the start of the word of wisdom, which I received to declare and tell, to those who live on earth. Listen, you people of old, see, and you who come after, from the beginning, and understand to the end, the words of the sacred one which I will speak in the presence of the Lord of spirits. 3 It would have been better to declare them only to the people of old, but we will not withhold the beginning of wisdom from those who come after. 4 Until the present time there never has been such wisdom given by the Lord of spirits as that which I have received, wisdom according to my insight, according to the wish of the Lord of spirits, by whom the portion of eternal life has been given to me. 5 And I obtained three parables, and I lifted up my voice and told them to the inhabitants of the earth.
Chapter 37 Commentary
Enoch reveals that God’s has given him eternal life and wisdom. God’s will was for Enoch to share this wisdom not just to the people living then, but for those who are coming.
38 – The First Prophecy
Enoch 38:1 The first parable. When the congregation of the just appears, and wrongdoers are judged for their crimes, and are driven from the face of the earth. 2 When the just one appears in the presence of the just themselves, who will be elected for their good works duly weighed by the Lord of spirits, and when the light appears to the just and the chosen ones, who live on earth, where will the dwelling of wrongdoers be? And where will be the place of rest for those who have rejected the Lord of spirits? It would have been better for them if had they never been born. 3 When the secrets of the just will be revealed and the wrongdoers judged, and the impious driven from the presence of the just and the chosen (elect), 4 from that time those who possess the earth will cease to be powerful and exalted. They will not be able to look at the faces of the sacred, for the Lord of spirits has made his light appear on the faces of the sacred, the just, and the chosen. 5 The mighty kings of that time will be destroyed and delivered to the hands of the just and sacred. 6 From then on no one will attain compassion from the Lord of spirits, because their lives will be at an end.
Enoch 39:1 In those days the chosen and sacred race will descend from the upper heavens, and their offspring will become one with the humans. (Revelation 21:1-5) 2 In those days Enoch received books of indignation and anger, and books of agitation and confusion. “They will never obtain compassion,” says the Lord of spirits. 3 In those days a whirlwind snatched me up, and raised me above the earth’s surface, setting me down at the extremity of the heavens. 4 There I saw another vision. I saw the dwellings and resting places of the sacred ones and the resting places of the just (righteous). 5 There my eyes saw their dwellings with the sacred ones (righteous angels and resting place of holy ones). They were entreating, interceding, and praying for the humans. Justice (righteousness) flowed in front of them like water, and compassion (mercy) was scattered over the earth like dew. And so, it will be with them forever and ever. 6 At that time my eyes saw the dwelling of the chosen one of truth, faith, and justice (righteous). 7 I saw his dwelling under the wings of the Lord of spirits. (Psalm 91:4, Malachi 4:2) 8 There will be justice in their days, and the just and chosen ones will be without number, in his presence, forever and ever. 9 All the sacred and the chosen ones sang in his presence looking like a blazing fire. Their mouths were full of blessings, and their lips were praising the name of the Lord of spirits. And justice was always before him. 10 I wished to stay there, and my inner self longed for that dwelling. There my allotment had been previously assigned to me in the presence of the Lord of Spirits. 11 In those times I praised and extolled the name of the Lord of spirits with blessings and praises, for he has destined me with blessing and favor, according to his own good pleasure. 12 My eyes contemplated that place for a long time. I blessed him and said, “May he be blessed, blessed from the beginning and forever!” In his presence there is no end. 13 He knew before the world was created what the world would become, for generation after generation. 14 Those who do not sleep bless you. They stand in the presence of your splendor and bless, praise, and exalt you, saying, “The sacred, sacred, sacred Lord of spirits (Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8) fills the earth with spirits.” 15 There my eyes saw all who do not sleep and stand in his presence and bless him, saying, “May you be blessed, may the name of God be blessed forever and ever!” 16 Then my face became changed until I was incapable of seeing.
Chapter 38-39 Commentary
The congregation of the just appear, then God’s light will appear on their faces. That would truly be a spectacle to see. The chosen will then descend from heaven, to be at one with the people of the earth. That is a beautiful thought because peace will have come to the people who live on the earth. And a righteous rulership will rule over mankind, no more sorrowing nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things will have ceased to exist.
Enoch 40:1 After this I saw thousands of thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, 2 and an infinite number of people, standing in front of the Lord of spirits. On the four sides of the Lord of spirits, (Revelation 7:9-11) I saw four figures, different from those who were standing before him and I learnt their names, because the angel, who went with me, told them to me, and showed me every secret thing. 3 Then I heard the voices of the four figures praising the splendid Lord. 4 The first voice blessed the Lord of spirits forever and ever. 5 I heard the second voice blessing the chosen one, and the chosen ones who rely on the Lord of spirits. 6 I heard the third voice interceding and praying for those who live on earth and requesting in the name of the Lord of spirits. 7 I heard the fourth voice expelling the Satan’s (adversary or accusers) and prohibiting them from entering the presence of the Lord of spirits to accuse the inhabitants of the earth. 8 After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, to explain everything that is hidden. I asked, “Who are the four figures I have seen, whose words have I heard and written down?” 9 He replied, “The first is the merciful, patient, and sacred Michael. The second is the sacred Raphael, who is set over all diseases and afflictions of humans. The third is Gabriel, who is set over all the powers. And the fourth is Phanuel, who is set over repentance, and the hope of those who will inherit eternal life.” 10 These are the four angels of the Lord of spirits, and their four voices, which I heard in those times.
Enoch 41:1 After this I saw the secrets of the heavens and how the kingdom is divided, and how human action is weighed there in the balances. 2 I saw the dwellings of the chosen ones, and the dwellings of the sacred ones. And there my eyes saw all the wrongdoers who denied the Lord of spirits, being dragged away, as they could not stay because of the punishment proceeding against them from the Lord of spirits. 3 There, too, my eyes saw the secrets of the lightning and the thunder, and the secrets of the winds, how they are distributed as they blow over the earth, and the secrets of the clouds and dew. 4 There I saw the place from which they issued, and from where they saturate the earth’s dust. 5 There I saw the closed containers, out of which the winds are distributed, the container of hail, the container of snow, the container of the clouds, and the cloud itself, which remained over the earth before the creation of the world. 6 I also saw the containers of the sun and moon, where they come from, and where they go to, their glorious return, and how one became more splendid than the other. I marked their majestic course, their unchangeable course, how they do not add or subtract anything to their course, and how they keep faith in each other by their stable oath. 7 The sun goes out first and completes its course in accordance with the commandment of the Lord of spirits; his name is powerful forever and ever! After this I saw the path, both concealed and apparent, of the moon, and how the moon’s path progresses by day and by night. One stands opposite the other in front of the Lord of spirits, honoring and praising without ceasing, since praising is like a rest to them. 8 For the splendid sun makes many revolutions both for a blessing and a curse. The course of the moon’s path is light for the just, but darkness for the wrongdoers. In the name of the Lord, who made a division between light and darkness, and divided the spirits of humans, and strengthened the spirits of the righteous in the name of his justice (righteousness). 9 No angel hinders this, and no power is able to hinder it, because the judge sees them all, and judges them all in his own presence.
Enoch 42: 1-3 Wisdom found no place on earth where she could live, and her dwelling was in heaven. 2 Wisdom went out to live among the humans but did not find a place to live. Wisdom returned to her place and took her seat in the midst of the angels. 3 But wickedness went out of her chambers. She found those she did not seek, and lived among them, like rain in the desert and on a thirsty land.
Enoch 43: 1-4 I saw flashes of lightning and the stars of heaven. I saw that he called them all by their names, 2 and that they heard. I saw that he weighed them with a just balance, according to their light, according to the width of their areas and the day of their appearance and how their revolution produces lightning. 3 I saw their revolutions, according to the number of the angels, and how they keep faith with each other. I asked the angel who went with me, and explained secret things to me, 4 “What are their names?” He answered, “The Lord of spirits has shown you their parable. They are the names of the sacred ones who live on earth, and who believe the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever.”
Enoch 44:1 I saw other things with regard to the lightning -how some of the stars rise and become lightning but cannot lose their form.
Chapter 40-44 Commentary
Enoch chapter 40 reminds me of a lot of Revelation chapter 7. Chapter 41 speaks of the judgments that come. Chapter 42 speaks about wisdom trying to live with mankind. But how has wickedness taken up residency?
45 – The Second Prophecy
Enoch 45:1 This is the second parable, about those who deny the name and the dwelling of the sacred ones, and of the Lord of spirits. 2 They will not ascend to heaven, nor will they come to the earth. This will be the fate of wrongdoers, who deny the name of the Lord of spirits, and who are reserved for the day of punishment and affliction. 3 On that day the chosen one will sit on a splendid throne, and will consider their actions, (1 Peter 4:5-6) and they will have countless resting places. Their inner selves will be strengthened, when they see my chosen one, and those who have called on my sacred, splendid name. 4 At that time, I will cause my chosen one to live amongst them, (Revelation 21:1) and I will change the face of heaven and make it a blessing and a light forever. 5 I will also change the face of the earth and make it a blessing and cause my chosen ones to live on it. (Isaiah 65:17, 66:22) 6 But those who have committed wrongdoing and wickedness will not live on it. I have taken note and satisfied my just ones with peace, and placed them in my presence, but as for the wrongdoers, their judgment will draw near so that I may destroy them from the face of the earth.
Enoch 46:1 There I saw the Ancient of Days, whose head was like white wool, and with him another, whose appearance looked like a human’s. His appearance was very elegant, like one of the sacred angels. 2 And I asked the angel who went with me, and explained secret things to me, about that human, who he was, and where did he come from, and why did he go with the Ancient of Days. (Daniel 7:13-14) He answered me, 3 “This is the human, to whom justice (righteousness) belongs, and with whom justice lives. He will reveal all the treasures of that which is hidden, for the Lord of spirits has chosen him, and because of his justice, his share has surpassed all others in the presence of the Lord of spirits forever. 4 (Hebrew 1:8-14) “This human, who you have seen, will stir up kings and the powerful from their dwellings, and the strong from their thrones, will loosen the reins of the strong, and break the teeth of the wrongdoers. 5 He will throw kings from their thrones and their kingdoms, because they do not exalt and praise him, and do not respectfully acknowledge the source by which their kingdoms were granted to them. 6 He will throw down the appearance of the strong and fill them with shame. (Psalm 2:9-10) Darkness will be their dwelling, and worms will be their bed. They will have no hope of being raised from their bed, because they have not praised the name of the Lord of spirits. 7 “They will judge the stars of heaven and will lift up their hands against the Most -High. They will tread on and inhabit the earth, exhibiting all their wicked actions. Their power rests on their wealth, and their faith is in the gods whom they have formed with their own hands. They deny the name of the Lord of spirits, 8 and will expel him from his assembly places, and with him the faithful, who depend on the name of the Lord of spirits.”
Enoch 47:1 In those days the prayer of the sacred and the blood of the just (righteous) will ascend from the earth into the presence of the Lord of spirits. 2 In those days the sacred ones, who live above the heavens, will unite with one voice, and petition, pray, praise, extol, and bless the name of the Lord of spirits, because of the blood of the just which has been shed, and so that the prayer of the just will not be in vain in the presence of the Lord of spirits, and so that justice may be done for them, and so that they don’t have to wait patiently forever. 3 In those days, I saw the Ancient of Days while he sat on his splendid throne, and the books of the living were opened in his presence, (Revelation 6:9-11) while his entire host in the heavens above and his council stood around in his presence. 4 The hearts of the sacred (holy) ones were very happy that the number of the just had been reached, (Revelation 3:5) and that the prayer of the just had been heard, and that the blood of the just had not been required in the presence of the Lord of spirits. (Revelation 20:12)
Enoch 48:1 In that place I saw a spring of justice which never ceased, surrounded by many springs of wisdom. All the thirsty drank from them, and were filled with wisdom, and their dwelling was with the honest, the chosen, and the sacred. 2 At that hour that human (Son of Man) was called in the presence of the Lord of spirits, and his name brought into the presence of the Ancient of Days. (Daniel 7:9) 3 Before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were formed, his name was called in the presence of the Lord of spirits. 4 He will be a support (staff) for the just (righteous) and the sacred to lean on and not fall, and he will be a light to the nations. (Isaiah 42:6-7) He will be the hope of those whose hearts are troubled. 5 All who live on earth will fall down and worship him and will bless and praise him and sing praise songs celebrating the name of the Lord of spirits. (Philippians 2:9-11, John 20:19-28) 6 Therefore, he has been chosen and hidden in his presence, before the world was created, and forever. 7 But the wisdom of the Lord of spirits has revealed him to the sacred (holy) and the honest (righteous), for he has kept the share belonging to the just ones safe, (Proverbs 8:4-36) because they have hated and rejected this world of wickedness, and have detested all its works and ways, (Philippians 2:9-11) in the name of the Lord of spirits. For they are saved by his name, and his wishes will be their life. 8 In those days the kings of the earth and the strong, who possess the land by their achievements, will have downcast faces. For in the day of their anguish and trouble they will not be able to save themselves, and I will hand them over to my chosen ones (elect). 9 Like hay in the fire, they will burn in the presence of the honest, and like lead in the water, they will sink in the presence of the sacred. No trace of them will ever be found. (Malachi 4:1) 10 But in the day of their trouble, there will be rest on the earth. And they will fall down in his presence and not get up. There will be no one to lift them back up, as they have denied the Lord of spirits and his anointed. May the name of the Lord of spirits be blessed!
Enoch 49:1 Wisdom is poured out like water, and magnificence does not fail in his presence for evermore, 2 for all his just secrets are powerful. But wickedness disappears like a shadow, and does not continue, for the chosen one stands in the presence of the Lord of spirits, and his splendor lasts forever and ever, and his power lasts for all generations. 3 The spirit of wisdom lives in him, as does the spirit which gives understanding and power, (Colossians 2:3) and the spirit of those who have fallen asleep justly (righteousness). 4 He will judge secret things. No one will be able to tell a lie in his presence, for the chosen one (elect) is in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, in accordance with his wish. (Romans 2:15-16)
Enoch 50:1 In those days the sacred and the chosen ones will change. The light of days will rest on them, and the splendor and glory of the sacred will be changed. 2 In the day of trouble disaster will be heaped upon wrongdoers, but the honest will triumph in the name of the Lord of spirits. He will show this to others so that they will change their minds and stop what they are doing. (Joel 2:31-31) 3 They will have no honor in the presence of the Lord of spirits, but by his name they may be rescued. The Lord of spirits will have compassion on them, as he has much compassion. 4 His judgment is just, and wickedness will not be able to stand against his judgment. The one who does not change their mind will perish. 5 “From then on I will not have compassion on them,” says the Lord of spirits.
Enoch 51:1 In those days the earth will give back that which has been entrusted to it, and Sheol will return that which has been entrusted to it, that which it has received. Destruction will return what it owes. 2 He will select the honest (righteous) and sacred (Holy) from among them, for the day when they will be rescued has approached. 3 In those days the chosen one will sit on his throne, (Luke 22:28-30) and all the secrets of wisdom will pour from his mouth, for the Lord of spirits has given them to him and exalted him. 4 In those days the mountains will skip like rams, and the hills will leap like lambs full of milk, and the faces of all the angels in heaven will be lit up with happiness, for in those days the chosen one will be praised. 5 The earth will celebrate. The honest will live on it, and the chosen ones will walk on it.
Enoch 52:1 After those days in the place where I had seen all the visions of that which is hidden, I was carried away by a whirlwind, and it took me off to the west. 2 There my eyes saw the secrets of heaven, and everything which existed on earth, a mountain of iron, a mountain of copper, a mountain of silver, a mountain of gold, a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead. 3 I asked the angel who went with me, “What are these things which I have seen in secret?” 4 He answered me, “All these things which you have seen will be for the anointed one’s dominion, so that he may be strong and powerful on the earth.” 5 The angel of peace answered me, “Wait just a short time, and you will see that every secret thing which the Lord of spirits has decreed will be revealed to you. 6 Those mountains which you have seen, the mountain of iron, the mountain of copper, the mountain of silver, the mountain of gold, the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead, all these will melt like wax in a fire in the presence of the chosen one. Like the water that descends from above on these mountains, they will become powerless before his feet. 7 It will come to pass in those days, that people will not be able to save themselves by silver or gold, nor will they be able to flee. (Ezekiel 7:18-19) 8 “There will be no iron for war, no material for a breastplate. Bronze will be of no use, tin will be of no use and will count for nothing, and lead will not be wanted. 9 All these things will be rejected, and destroyed off the face of the earth, when the chosen one appears in the presence of the Lord of spirits.”
Enoch 53:1 There my eyes saw a deep valley, and its entrance was open. Everyone who lives on the earth, on the sea, and on islands, will bring him gifts, presents, and offerings, yet that deep valley will not become full. 2 Their hands will commit wrongdoing. Whatever they produce by working, the wrongdoers will devour with crime. But they will be destroyed in front of the Lord of spirits, and from the face of his earth, incessantly, forever and ever. 3 I saw the angels of punishment, who were living there, and preparing every instrument of the adversary (Satan). 4 Then I asked the angel of peace, who went with me, “For whom are they preparing these instruments?” (Revelation 20:7-14) 5 He said, “They are preparing them for the kings and powerful ones of the earth, so that they will perish. 6 After this the honest and chosen one will cause the house of his worshippers to appear, and from then on, they will not be hindered anymore, by the name of the Lord of spirits. 7 In his presence these mountains will not be solid like the earth, and the hills will be like fountains of water. And the honest will have rest from oppression by wrongdoers.”
Enoch 54:1 Then I looked and turned to another part of the earth, where I saw a deep valley burning with fire. 2 They brought monarchs and the powerful and threw them in this valley. 3 There my eyes saw how they made instruments for them, iron chains of immeasurable weight. 4 Then I asked the angel of peace, who went with me, “For whom are these chain instruments being prepared?” 5 He replied, “These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may take them and throw them into the lowest part of the abyss, and cover their jaws with rough stones, as the Lord of spirits commanded. 6 Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Phanuel will take hold of them on that great day and will throw them into a furnace of blazing fire, so that the Lord of spirits may take vengeance on them for their crimes, because they became servants of the adversary (Satan), and led astray those who live on earth. 7 “In those days the punishment of the Lord of spirits will go out, and the containers of water which are above the heavens, and the fountains which are under the earth, will be opened. 8 All the waters will be mixed with the waters that are above the skies. The water which is above heaven will be the male, and the water which is under the earth will be the female. 9 All the inhabitants of earth will be wiped out and all who live under the ends of heaven will be wiped out. 10 Because of this they will understand the wickedness they have done on earth, and they will be destroyed by these means.”
Enoch 55:1 Afterward the Ancient of Days changed his mind, and said, “I have destroyed all the inhabitants of the earth for no purpose!” 2 And he swore by his great name, “From now on I will not act like this to all the inhabitants of the earth. But I will place a sign in the heavens, and it will be a guarantee of good faith between me and them forever, as long as the days of heaven and earth last on the earth. This will be in agreement with my command. 3 When I wish to seize them, by the hands of angels, in the day of trouble and pain, I will certainly cause my anger and my rebuke to stay on them,” says the Lord, the Lord of spirits. 4 “You powerful kings who live on the earth, you will see my chosen one sitting on my splendid throne. And he will judge Azazel, all his associates, and all his hosts, in the name of the Lord of spirits.”
Enoch 56:1 There I saw hosts of the angels of punishment, as they went, and they were holding chains of iron and bronze. 2 Then I asked the angel of peace, who went with me, “To whom are those angels who are holding the chains going?” 3 He answered, “To their chosen and loved ones, so that they may be thrown into the chasm of the valley’s abyss, 4 and then that valley will be filled with their chosen and their loved ones, and the days of their life will be at an end, but the days of their leading astray will be innumerable. 5 “In those days, the angels will assemble, and will throw themselves toward the east, (Jeremiah 51:11) on the Parthians and Medes. They will stir kings, so that a spirit of unrest comes on them. They will fling them from their thrones, and will spring out like lions from their dens, like hungry wolves in the middle of the flock. 6 They will go up and trample underfoot the land of his chosen ones, (Daniel 11:1-12:3) and the land of my chosen ones will become a threshing floor and beaten path in front of them. The land of their chosen ones will be in front of them. 7 But the city of my just ones will hinder their horses. They will begin to fight amongst themselves, and their own right hand will be strong against them. (Isaiah 13:9-20) A person will not acknowledge their friend or sibling, or a child their father or mother, until the number of the corpses is fulfilled, and their punishment will be not in vain. 8 In those days Sheol will open its mouth, and they will be swallowed up in it and destroyed. Sheol will swallow up wrongdoers in the presence of the chosen.”
Enoch 57:1 After this I saw another army of chariots with men riding in them. They came on winds from the east, from the west, and from the south. 2 The sound of the noise of their chariots was heard and when that uproar happened, the sacred ones observed it from heaven and the pillars of the earth shook from their foundations. The sound of it was heard from the ends of the earth and to the ends of heaven at the same time. 3 And they will all fall down and worship the Lord of spirits. This is the end of the second parable.
58 – The Third Parable / Prophecy
Enoch 58: 1 I now began to speak the third parable, about the honest and the chosen. 2 Blessed are you, you honest and chosen, for your allotment will be magnificent! 3 The honest (righteous) will be in the light of the sun, and the chosen in the light of eternal life, the days of their life will never end, and the days of the sacred will be without number. 4 They will seek the light and will find justice with the Lord of spirits. There will be peace for the honest with the Lord of the world. 5 After this the sacred will be told to seek in heaven the secrets of justice and the share of faith, for it has become as bright as the sun on the earth, while darkness has passed away. 6 There will be light which never ends, and they will not come to the limit of time, for darkness will first have been destroyed, and light will last in the presence of the Lord of spirits. The light of justice will last in the presence of the Lord of spirits forever.
Enoch 59:1 In those days my eyes saw the secrets of the lightnings and the lights, and their judgment. They lighten for a blessing or for a curse, according to the desire of the Lord of spirits. 2 There I saw the secrets of the thunder, when it booms above in heaven, how its sound is heard. The judgments of the earth were shown to me, whether for peace and for a blessing, or for a curse, according to the word of the Lord of spirits. 3 Afterward all the secrets of the lights and of the lightnings were shown to me, and they cause light for blessing and for satisfaction.
60 – The Book of Noah
Enoch 60:1 In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the life of Enoch. In that vision, I saw that the heaven of heavens was shaken fiercely, and that the host of the Most High, and the angels, thousands and thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, were agitated and greatly disturbed. 2 And when I looked, the Ancient of Days was sitting on his splendid throne, while the angels and the honest were standing around him. 3 A great trembling seized me, and terror took hold of me. My loins buckled and gave way, my strength dissolved, and I fell on my face. 4 Then sacred Michael sent another sacred angel, one of the sacred ones, and he raised me up, and when he raised me, my spirit returned, for I had been unable to endure the sight of the host, the disturbance, and the shaking of heaven. 5 Then sacred Michael said to me, “Why are you disturbed by this vision? The time of compassion lasted until now, and he has been compassionate and patient toward all the inhabitants of the earth. 6 But the day will come when the power, the punishment, and the judgment will take place, which the Lord of spirits has prepared for those who do not worship the just judgment, those who deny that judgment, and for those who take his name in vain. That day has been prepared for the chosen as a day of covenant, and for wrongdoers as a day of inquisition.” 7 On that day two monsters will be separated from one another, a female monster named Leviathan, (Isaiah 27:1, Ezekiel 29:3) to live in the depths of the sea, above the springs of waters, 8 and a male monster named Behemoth, which moves on its chest, and occupies a large desert named Dendayen (Duidain) in the east of the garden, where the chosen and the just live, where my grandfather was received (taken up). My grandfather was human, the seventh from Adam, the first human whom the Lord of spirits made. 9 Then I asked the other angel to show me the power of those monsters, how they became separated on the same day, one being thrown into the depths of the sea, and one onto the dry desert. 10 He answered, “You, human, are here wishing to understand secret things.” 11 “And the other angel who went with me and showed me what was kept secret; told me what is first and last in heaven in the sky, and beneath the earth in the depth, and at the ends of heaven, and on the foundation of heaven. 12 And the storehouse of the winds, and how the winds are divided, and how they are weighed, and how the doors of the winds are calculated for each according to the power of the wind, and the power of the lights of the moon according to the power that is fitting; and the divisions of the stars according to their names, and how all the divisions are divided. 13 And the thunder according to the places where they fall, and all the divisions that are made among the lightning that it may light, and their host that they may at once obey. 14 For the thunder has places of rest which are assigned while it is waiting for its peal; and the thunder and lightning are inseparable, and although not one and undivided, they both go together in spirit and are not separate. 15 For when the lightning flashes, the thunder utters its voice, and the spirit enforces a pause during the peal, and divides equally between them; for the treasury of their peals is like the sand (of an hourglass), and each one of them as it peals is held in with a bridle, and turned back by the power of the spirit, and pushed forward according to the many parts of the earth. 16 And the spirit of the sea is masculine and strong, and according to the might of His strength He draws it back with a rein, and in like manner it is driven forward and disperses in the midst of all the mountains of the earth. 17 And the spirit of the hoar-frost is his own angel, and the spirit of the hail is a good angel. And the spirit of the snow has forsaken his storehouse because of his strength. 18 There is a special spirit there, and that which ascends from it is like smoke, and its name is frost. And the spirit of the mist is not united with them in their storehouse, but it has a special storehouse; for its course is glorious both in light and in darkness, and in winter and in summer, and in its storehouse is an angel. 19 And the spirit of the dew has its dwelling at the ends of heaven, and is connected with the storehouse of the rain, and its course is in winter and summer; and its clouds and the clouds of the mist are connected, and the one gives to the other. 20 And when the spirit of the rain goes out from its storehouse, the angels come and open the storehouse and lead it out, and when it is diffused over the whole earth it unites with the water on the earth. 21 And whenever it unites with the water on the earth, (for the waters are for those who live on the earth), they are (become) nourishment for the earth from the Most High who is in heaven. 22 Therefore there is a measurement for the rain, and the angels are in charge of it. And these things I saw towards the Garden of the Righteous. 23 And the Angel of Peace who was with me, said to me: 24 “These two monsters, prepared in accordance with the greatness of the Lord, will feed them the punishment of the Lord. And children will be killed with their mothers, and sons with their fathers.”
Enoch 61:1 In those days I saw long cords given to those angels, who took to their wings, and flew, advancing toward the north. 2 I asked the angel, “Where have they taken those long cords, and gone off?” He said, “They have gone off to measure.” 3 The angel, who went with me, said, “These are the measures of the just, and the just bring cords, so that they may depend on the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever. 4 The chosen will begin to live with the chosen. And these are the measures which will be given to faith, and which will strengthen justice (righteousness). These measures will reveal all the secrets of the depths of the earth and those who have been destroyed in (by) the desert, and those who have been devoured by the fish of the sea, and by wild beasts, will return, and rely on the day of the chosen one, for none will perish in the presence of the Lord of spirits, nor will any be capable of perishing. 6 “And all who live in the heavens above received a command, a power, one voice, and one light like fire. 7 And they blessed him with their voice, they exalted him, and they praised him with wisdom. They were wise with their speech, and with the breath of life. 8 Then the Lord of spirits seated the chosen one on his splendid throne. He will judge all the deeds of the sacred, in heaven above, and will weigh their actions in a balance. 9 When he lifts up his face to judge their secret ways in accordance with the word of the name of the Lord of spirits, and their progress along the path in accordance with the just judgment of the Lord most high, then they will all speak with united voice, and bless, praise, exalt, and extol, the name of the Lord of spirits. 10 “He will call all the host of the heavens, and all the sacred ones above, and the host of God, the Cherubim, the Seraphim, and the Ophanin, all the powerful angels, and all the angels of the principalities, and the chosen one, and the other host that is on earth and over the water on that day. “They will raise their united voice, and will bless, praise, and exalt with the spirit of faith, with the spirit of wisdom and patience, with the spirit of compassion, with the spirit of judgment and peace, and with the spirit of goodwill. All will say with united voice, ‘Blessed is he, and may the name of the Lord of spirits be blessed forever and ever.’ 11 “All who do not sleep in heaven above will bless him. All the sacred ones in heaven will bless him, all the chosen who live in the garden of life, and every spirit of light, who is capable of blessing, praising, exalting, and extolling your sacred name, and all of the natural realm will beyond measure praise and bless your name forever and ever. 12 For the compassion of the Lord of spirits is vast. He is patient. All his works and all his power, all the great things he has done, he has revealed to the just and to the chosen, in the name of the Lord of spirits.”
Enoch 62:1 Thus the Lord commanded the kings, the mighty, the exalted, and the inhabitants of the earth, “Open your eyes, and raise your horns, if you are able to recognize the chosen one.”2 The Lord of spirits seated him on his splendid throne. The spirit of justice was poured out over him. The word of his mouth will destroy all the wrongdoers and all the unjust, who will perish in his presence. 3 In that day all the kings, the mighty, the exalted, and those who possess the earth, will stand up, see, and perceive that he is sitting on his splendid throne, and that the just are judged justly in his presence, and no useless word is spoken in his presence. 4 Then pain will come on them, as on a woman in childbirth whose labor is severe, when her child comes to the mouth of the womb, and she has difficulty birthing. 5 One part of them will look at the other. They will be astounded and have downcast faces. Pain will seize them, when they see this human (Son of Man) sitting on his splendid throne. 6 Then the kings, the mighty, and all who possess the earth, will praise him who has dominion over all things, him who was hidden, 7 for from the beginning the human (Son of Man) existed in secret, and the Most High kept him in the presence of his power, and revealed him to the chosen. 8 The assembly of the sacred (Holy) and of the chosen will be sown, and all the chosen will stand in his presence on that day. 9 All the kings, the mighty, the exalted, and those who rule over all the earth, will fall down on their faces in worship before him. (Philippians 2:9-11) They will set their hope on this human (Son of Man), and will pray to him, and petition him to show compassion. 10 Then the Lord of spirits will hurry to expel them from his presence. Their faces will be full of confusion, and darkness will grow deeper on their faces. 11 The angels of punishment will take them, so that they will be repaid for the wrong done to his children and his chosen. (Revelation 19:11-21) 12 They will become an exhibition to the just and to his chosen. They will celebrate because of them, as the anger of the Lord of spirits will rest on them. Then the sword of the Lord of spirits will be drunk (Isaiah 34:5) with their blood, (Revelation 14:19-20) 13 but the just and the chosen will be safe on that day, and they will never again see the face of the wrongdoers and the unjust. 14 The Lord of spirits will remain over them, and they will live, eat, lie down, and get up, with this human (Son of Man), forever and ever. 15 The just and the chosen have risen from the earth, have stopped having downcast faces, have stopped having depressed appearances, and have put on the clothing of life. 16 The clothing of life is from the Lord of spirits, in whose presence your clothing will not get old, nor will your magnificence decrease.
Enoch 63:1 In those days the mighty kings who possess the earth will beg the angels of his punishment, to whom they have been handed over, to give them a little rest, so that they may fall down and worship in the presence of the Lord of spirits and admit their wrongdoings to him. 2 And they will bless and praise the Lord of spirits: “Blessed is the Lord of spirits, the Lord of kings, the Lord of the mighty, the Lord of the rich, the Lord of splendor, and the Lord of wisdom. 3 Every secret thing is clear to you, and your power lasts for generation after generation, and your splendor lasts forever and ever. Your secrets are deep and numberless, and your justice (righteousness) is beyond measure. 4 Now we realize that we should praise and bless the Lord of kings and him who is king over all kings.” They will say, “If only we could have some rest so we could praise, thank, and bless him, and admit our wrongdoings in the presence of his splendor?” 6 And now we long for a little rest but do not find it, we are driven away and do not possess it. Light has passed away from in front of us, and darkness will be where we will live forever. 7 For we have not believed him, we have not praised the name of the Lord of spirits, we have not praised the Lord for all his works, but we have trusted the scepter of our kingdom and of our magnificence. 8 On the day of our affliction and of our trouble he will not save us, neither will we find any rest to agree that our Lord is faithful in all his actions, in all his judgments, and in his justice. His judgments have no respect for persons, 9 and we must leave his presence on account of our deeds as our wrongdoings are certainly without number. 10 Then will they say to themselves, “Our inner beings are full of criminal gain, but that doesn’t prevent us from going down into the fiery middle of Sheol!” 11 Afterward, their faces will be filled with darkness and confusion before the human (Son of Man), and they will be driven from his presence, and the sword will remain in their midst, in his presence. 12 The Lord of spirits says, “This is the decree and the judgment against the mighty, the kings, the exalted, and those who possess the earth, in the presence of the Lord of spirits.”
Enoch 64:1 I also saw other figures hidden in that place. 2 I heard the voice of an angel saying, “These are the angels who went down from heaven to earth, and have revealed what is hidden to the humans, and seduced the humans into doing wrong.”
65 – Earth Has Tilted
Enoch 65:1 In those days Noah saw that the earth had tilted, and that destruction approached. 2 He set off from there and went to the ends of the earth and called out to his grandfather Enoch. 3 Noah said three times with a bitter voice, “Hear me, hear me, hear me!” And I said to him, “Tell me, what is happening to the earth, as it is so badly affected and violently shaken, surely I will perish with it!” 4 Then immediately there was a great disturbance on the earth, and a voice was heard from heaven. I fell down on my face. Then my grandfather Enoch came and stood by me, and said, “Why have you cried out to me so bitterly and wept? 5 A decree has gone out from the Lord against the inhabitants of the earth, that they must be destroyed. They know all the secrets of the angels, and all the oppressive and secret powers of the Satan’s (Deceivers, Accusers), 6 and every power of those who commit sorcery, and the power of those who make molten images in the whole earth. 7 They know how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal originates from the earth. 8 For lead and tin are not produced from earth like the former, for there is a spring that produces them, 9 and there is an angel standing on it, and that angel allocates them.” Afterward my grandfather Enoch seized me with his hand, and raised me up, and said to me, 10 “Go! I have asked the Lord of spirits about this disturbance on the earth, and he replied, ‘Because of their wickedness, their judgment has been completed, and I will not withhold it, forever. Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and its inhabitants shall be destroyed. 11 There will be no place of refuge for them forever because they showed them what was hidden, and they are damned. But this is not the case with you, my son. The Lord of spirits knows that you are good, and innocent of the reproach concerning the secrets. 12 He has established your name in the midst of the sacred ones and will preserve you from amongst the inhabitants of the earth. He has destined your just offspring for dominion and great honor, and countless numbers of the just and the sacred will flow from your offspring forever.”
Enoch 66:1 After this he showed me the angels of punishment, who were ready to come and release all the force of the waters under the earth in order to bring judgment and destruction of all the inhabitants of the earth. 2 The Lord of spirits commanded the angels who were going out not to make the waters rise but to keep an eye on them, for those angels were in charge of the force of the waters. 3 Then I left Enoch.
Enoch 67:1 In those days God’s word came to me, and said, “Noah, your allotment has come up before me, an allotment void of blame, an allotment of love and justice. 2 Now the angels are working with timber, but when they have finished this, I will place my hand on it, and preserve it. The seed of life will come out of it, and change will take place, so that the earth will not be left empty. 3 I will establish your offspring before me forever and ever, and I will scatter those who live with you over the face of the earth. It will not happen again on the earth. They will be blessed and multiplied on the earth, in the name of the Lord.” 4 They will lock up those angels who acted wickedly in that burning valley, which my grandfather Enoch had previously shown me in the west, where there were mountains of gold and silver, of iron, of soft metal, and of tin. 5 I saw that valley in which there was a great disturbance, and where the waters heaved. 6 And when all this happened, a smell of sulfur was produced from the fiery molten metal and the disturbance which troubled them in that place, and the smell came from the waters. The valley of the angels who had been guilty of leading humans astray, burned underneath the ground. 7 Rivers of fire flowed through that valley, where those angels who led the inhabitants of the earth astray will be condemned. 8 But in those days, those waters will be for healing the inner self and the body, and for judgment of the spirit, for kings, the mighty, the exalted, and the inhabitants of the earth. Their spirits will be full of lust and they will be judged in their bodies, because they have denied the Lord of spirits, and although they see their punishment daily, they do not believe his name. 9 The more they are burned, the more a change will take place in their spirits forever and ever, for no one can speak a useless word in the presence of the Lord of spirits. 10 Judgment will come on them, because they trusted their bodily lust, but denied the spirit of the Lord. 11 In those days the waters of that valley will be changed, for when the angels are judged, the temperature of those springs of water will change. When the angels come up, the water of the springs will change, and become cold. 12 Then I heard the sacred Michael answering. He said, “This judgment by which the angels are judged, will bear witness against the kings and the mighty who possess the earth. 13 For these waters of judgment will be for their healing, and for the lust of their bodies. But they will not recognize and believe that the waters will change and become a fire which burns forever.”
Enoch 68:1 After this my grandfather Enoch gave me the signs of all the secrets in the book, and of the parables which had been given to him, and he inserted them for me in the words of the book of parables. 2 At that that time the sacred Michael answered and said to Raphael, “Spiritual power seizes me, and urges me on because of the severity of the angels’ judgment. Who can endure the severe judgment which has been executed, before which they melt away?” 3 Again, the sacred Michael answered the sacred Raphael, “Who is there whose heart is not softened by it, and whose mind is not disturbed by this word? Judgment has gone out against them by those who have dragged them away!” 4 But it came to pass that when they stood in the presence of the Lord of spirits, the sacred Michael said to Raphael, “I will not take their part under the Lord’s eye, because the Lord of spirits has been angry with them because they acted as if they were masters. 5 Because of this the secret judgment will come on them forever and ever, and neither angel nor human will receive any part of it, but they alone will receive their judgment forever and ever.
Enoch 69:1 “After this judgment they will be terrified and shaken, because they have shown this to the inhabitants of the earth.” 2 Here are the names of those angels! The first of them is Semjaza, the second, Artiqifa, the third, Armen, the fourth, Kokabel, the fifth, Turael, the sixth, Rumjal, the seventh, Danjal, the eighth, Nuqael, the ninth, Baraqel, the tenth, Azazel, the eleventh, Armaros, the twelfth, Batarjal, the thirteenth, Busasajel, the fourteenth, Hananel, the fifteenth, Turel, the sixteenth, Simapesiel, the seventeenth, Yetarel, the eighteenth, Tumael, the nineteenth, Turel, the twentieth, Rumael, the twenty-first, Azazel. 3 These are the chiefs of their angels, and the names of the leaders of their hundreds, and the leaders of their fifties, and the leaders of their tens. 4 The name of the first is Jeqon. He was the one who led all the sacred associates of God astray and brought them down to earth and led them astray with humans. 5 The name of the second is Asbeel. He suggested an evil plan to the sacred associates of God, so that they defiled their bodies with humans. 6 The name of the third is Gadreel. He showed every deadly blow to the humans. He led Eve astray, and showed the humans the weapons of death, the coat of mail, the shield, and the sword for killing, every deadly weapon he showed to the humans. 7 Because of him they have proceeded against the inhabitants of the earth forever and ever. 8 The name of the fourth is Penemue. He showed humans bitterness and sweetness and showed them all the secrets of their wisdom. 9 He taught humans writing with ink and paper, and through that, numerous have gone astray through every time of the world, even to this day. 10 For humans were not born for this, to confirm their faith with pen and ink. 11 For humans were created just like the angels, so that they would stay just and pure, and death, which destroys everything, would not have touched them. But they perish because of this knowledge, and death consumes them through this power. 12 The name of the fifth is Kasdeja. He showed the humans every wicked strike of spirits and of demons, the strike at the embryo in the womb, to miscarry it, the strike of the spirit by the bite of the serpent, and the strike which is given in the midday by the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaaet. 13 This is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath which he showed to the sacred ones when he lived in splendor. His name is Biqa. 14 He told sacred Michael to show him the secret name, so that they might say it in the oath, 15 so that those who showed every secret thing to the humans would shake at that name and oath. This is the power of that oath, for it is powerful and strong. He placed this oath Akae in the charge of the sacred Michael. 16 These are the secrets of this oath, and they are strong through this oath. Heaven was suspended by it before the world was created, and forever. 17 By it the earth was founded on the water, and from the secret parts of the mountains the beautiful waters come, from the creation of the world to eternity. 18 By that oath the sea was created, and its foundation. During the time of anger he placed the sand against it, and this continues unchanged forever. 19 By this oath the depths were made firm, and they do not move from their place, forever and ever. 20 By that oath the sun and moon complete their course, never wandering from the regulation given to them forever and ever. 21 By this oath the stars complete their course, and he calls their names, and they answer him, forever and ever. 22 In same goes for the spirits of the water, and of the winds, and of all the breezes, and their paths from all the groups of spirits. 23 There the containers of thunder’s voices are kept, and the light of the lightning. There the containers of hail and of frost, and the containers of snow, 24 the containers of rain and of dew are kept. All these believe and praise in the presence of the Lord of spirits and praise him with all their power. He sustains them with every act of thanks, while they praise, extol, and exalt the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever. 25 This oath is strong over them. Through it, they are kept safe and their progress is preserved. 26 They were very happy, and they blessed, praised, and exalted, because the name of the human (Son of Man) was revealed to them. 27 He sat on his splendid throne, and the whole judgment was assigned to him, the human (Son of Man). Wrongdoers will disappear and perish from the face of the earth, 28 while those who led them astray will be bound with chains forever. They will be imprisoned in the assembly place of their destruction, and all their works will disappear from the face of the earth. 29 From then on there will be nothing to corrupt, for the human (Son of Man) has appeared, sitting on his splendid throne. Everything wicked will disappear and leave his presence, and the human’s (Son of Man) word will be powerful in the presence of the Lord of spirits.
70 – Third parable of Enoch- The Storehouses
Enoch 70:1 It came to pass, that after this, during his lifetime, his name was lifted up by the inhabitants of the earth to the presence of the human, and to the presence of the Lord of spirits. 2 He was lifted by the spiritual chariots, and his name vanished among them. From that time I was no longer counted among them, but he sat me between two winds, between the north and the west, where the angels took the ropes to measure for me the place for the chosen and the just. 3 There I saw the ancestors of the first humans, and the sacred, who live in that place forever.
Enoch 71:1 And it came to pass after this that my spirit was carried away and went up into the heavens. I saw the sacred associates of God treading on flaming fire. Their garments and clothes were white, and their faces were as light as snow. 2 I saw two rivers of fire glittering like a hyacinth. Then I fell on my face in the presence of the Lord of spirits. 3 The angel Michael, one of the archangels, took me by my right hand, lifted me up, and led me to where there were all the secrets of compassion and secrets of justice (Righteousness). 4 He showed me all the secrets of the extremities of heaven, all the containers of the stars, and the luminaries, from where they come out in the presence of the sacred ones. 5 And he carried off Enoch to the heaven of heavens. There I saw, in the middle of that light, a structure made with ice crystals, and in the middle of these crystals were tongues of living fire. 6 My spirit saw a circle of fire, and it surrounded the fiery structure. All around it were rivers full of living fire. 7 The Seraphim, the Cherubim, and Ophanim surrounded it. These are those who never sleep but guard his splendid throne. 8 And I saw innumerable angels, thousands of thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, surrounding that structure. Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Phanuel and the sacred angels who were in the heavens above, went in and out of it. 9 Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and innumerable sacred angels went out of that structure. 10 With them was the Ancient of Days. His face was white and pure as wool, and his clothing was indescribable. 11 Then I fell on my face, my whole body melted, and my spirit became changed. I cried out loudly, with a powerful spirit, blessing, praising, and exalting. 12 And those blessings which came out of my mouth were pleasing in the presence of the Ancient of Days. 13 The Ancient of Days came with Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Phanuel, and with thousands of thousands, and thousands and ten thousand of angels without number. 14 Then that angel came to me, and greeted me with his voice, “You are a human who was born for justice, and justice has rested on you and the justice of the Ancient of Days will not leave you.” 15 He continued, “He proclaims peace to you in the name of the world which is to come, for from there peace has gone out since the world was created. And so it will be for you forever and ever. 16 All who will exist, and who will walk in your pathway of justice, will never leave you. They will live with you. You will be their allotment, and they will not be separated from you forever and ever. 17 So long life will be with that human (Son of Man), and the just will have peace, and the just will walk along the pathway of integrity, in the name of the Lord of spirits, forever and ever.
72 – The Revolutions of the Heavenly Luminaries
Enoch 72:1 The book of the revolutions of the heavenly luminaries, according to their respective classes, their respective powers and seasons, their respective names and places of origin, and their respective months, which Uriel, the sacred angel who was with me and is their guide, showed me. He showed me all their regulations, for each year of the world and forever, until a new creation is made, which will be eternal. 2 This is the first law of the luminaries. The luminary, the sun, rises in the portals of heaven, which are on the east, and sets in the west in the western portals of heaven. 3 I saw six portals from where the sun rises, and six portals where the sun sets. The moon rises and sets in these portals. I saw the leaders of the stars, together with those whom they lead. There are six in the east and six in the west. All these, one after the other, are in the same place, 4 and there are numerous windows on the right and on the left sides of those portals. First that great luminary called the sun goes out. Its orb is like the heaven’s orb, the whole of it being filled with splendid and flaming fire. 5 The wind blows the chariot on which it ascends. The sun sets in heaven, and returning by the north, goes to the east, and is led so as to enter by that portal, and illuminate the face of the sky. 6 In the same manner it goes out by the large portal in the first month. It goes out through the fourth of those six portals, which are in the east. 7 And in the fourth portal, through which the sun rises in the first month, are twelve window-openings, and a flame goes out of them whenever they are opened at their proper time. 8 When the sun rises in heaven, it goes out through this fourth portal for thirty days and sets exactly in the fourth portal in the west of heaven. 9 During that time the day grows longer daily, and the night grows shorter nightly until the thirtieth morning. 10 On that day the day is longer by two parts than the night. The day amounts to precisely ten parts, and the night to eight parts. 11 The sun rises through this fourth portal, and sets in it, and returns to the fifth portal in the east for thirty days, and rises from it, and sets in the fifth portal. 12 Then the day becomes longer by two parts, so the day amounts to eleven parts, while the night becomes shorter, amounting to seven parts. 13 The sun now returns to the east, entering the sixth portal, and rising and setting in the sixth portal for thirty-one mornings, on account of its sign. 14 On that day, the day is longer than the night, being twice as long as the night, and the day becomes twelve parts, and the night becomes shorter and amounts to six parts. 15 Then the sun rises so that the day may be shortened, and the night lengthened. And the sun returns to the east and enters the sixth portal, where it rises and sets for thirty days. 16 When that has happened, the day becomes shortened by precisely one part, so that it is eleven parts, while the night is seven parts. 17 Then the sun goes from that sixth portal in the west, and goes to the east, rising in the fifth portal for thirty days, and setting again in the fifth portal of the west. 18 At that time the day becomes shortened by two parts, so that is ten parts, while the night is eight parts. 19 Then the sun goes out from the fifth portal, and sets in the fifth portal of the west, and rises in the fourth portal for thirty-one days, on account of its signs, and sets in the west. 20 At that time the day is made equal with the night and, being equal with it, the night amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts. 21 Then the sun goes out from that portal, and sets in the west, and returns to the east by the third portal for thirty days and sets in the west at the third portal. 22 At that time the night decreases in length, and the night amounts to ten parts and the day to eight. 23 The sun then rises from the third portal, as it sets in the west and returns to the east. It rises in the third portal of the east for thirty-one days and sets in the west. In the same way too, it sets in the second portal in the west of heaven. 24 At that time the night is eleven parts, and the day is seven parts. 25 Then at that time the sun goes from the second portal, as it sets in the second portal in the west but returns to the east by the first portal for thirty-one days and sets in the west in the first portal. 26 At that time that night is lengthened as much as the day. It is precisely twelve parts, while the day is six parts. 27 The sun has thus completed its beginnings, and a second time goes around from these beginnings. In that first portal it enters for thirty days and sets in the opposite part of heaven in the west. 28 At that time the length of the night is shortened by a fourth part, that is, one portion, and becomes eleven parts. The day is seven parts. 28 Then the sun returns and enters the second portal in the east. It returns on these divisions for thirty days, rising and setting. 30 At that time the night decreases in length. It becomes ten parts, and the day eight parts. 31 Then the sun goes from that second portal, and sets in the west, but returns to the east, and rises in the third portal in the east for thirty-one days, setting in the west of the sky. 32 At that time the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. The night is equal to the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days. 33 The length of the day and night and the shortness of the day and night are different from each other by the progress of the sun. 34 By means of this progress the day is lengthened daily, and the night is greatly shortened. 35 This is the sun’s regulation and progress, and its return, returning for sixty days, and going out. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which is named the sun, forever and ever. 36 That is a great luminary which goes forth, and which is named after its kind, as the Lord commanded. 37 And thus, it rises and sets, neither getting shorter nor resting, but running on by day and by night. It shines a seventh portion of light more than the moon, but the dimensions of both are equal.
Enoch 73:1 After this law I saw another law of a lesser luminary, named the moon, 2 the shape of which is like the shape of the sun. The wind blows the chariot on which it rides, and light is given to it by the measure. 3 Every month its rising and setting change and its days are like the days of the sun. When its light is full, its light is a seventh part of the sun’s light. 4 And it rises like this, and its first phase is to the east: it rises on the thirtieth day. At that time, it appears and becomes the first phase of the moon for you on the thirtieth day, together with the sun in the portal from which the sun goes out. 5 One half of it goes out by a seventh part, and the whole of its orb is empty of light, except for a seventh part, the fourteenth part of its light. 6 And in a day, it receives a seventh part, or half that part, of its light. Its light is one seventh and a half. 7 It sets with the sun, and when the sun rises, the moon rises with it, receiving half a part of light. On that night, at the beginning of its morning, at the beginning of the moon’s day, the moon sets with the sun and on that night, it is dark in its fourteen and half parts. 8 But it rises on that day with precisely one seventh part, and it goes out and recedes from the rising of the sun. During the remainder of its time its light increases.
Enoch 74:1 Then I saw another course and regulation and how it makes its monthly journey according to that regulation. 2 Uriel, the sacred angel who is the leader of them all, showed me all these and their positions, and I wrote down their positions as he showed them to me. I wrote down their months as they occur, and the appearance of their lights, until fifteen days have passed. 3 It completes it’s setting in the west in seven parts and completes its rising in the east in seven parts. 4 But in certain months it changes its settings, and in certain months it makes its own way. 5 In two months the moon sets with the sun, that is, in those two portals which are in the middle, in the third and fourth portal. 6 It goes out for seven days, then returns to the portal from where the sun goes out, and in that completes its whole light. Then it recedes from the sun, and in eight days enters the sixth portal from which the sun rises. 7 When the sun rises from the fourth portal, the moon goes out for seven days, until it rises from the fifth portal. Then it returns in seven days to the fourth portal, and completing all its light, recedes, and enters the first portal in eight days.8 and she returns again in seven days and she returns again in seven days into the fourth portal from which the sun goes out. 9 Thus I saw their position, according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets 10 At those times there is a surplus of thirty days of the sun in five years, and all the days add up to each year of the five years, and amount to 364 days. 11 The surplus of the sun and stars amounts to 6 days, 6 days in each of the 5 years, thus 30 days. 12 Thus the moon has 30 days less than the sun and stars. The moon carries out all the years precisely, so that their positions may come neither too early nor too late even for a single day but change the year in precisely in 364 days. 13 In 3 years the days are 1092 days, in 5 years 1820 days, and in 8 years there are 2912 days. 14 For the moon alone, the days in 3 years amount to 1,062 days, and in 5 years amount to 50 days behind. In 5 years, there are 1,770 days so that the days of the moon in eight years amount to 21,832 days. 16 In 8 years the difference is 80 days, by which it falls short. 17 The year then becomes completed according to the position of the moon and the position of the sun, as they rise from the portal in which the sun rises and sets for 30 days.
Enoch 75:1 These are the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, those which preside over the whole creation and over all the stars, with the four days which are added and never separated from their allotted place, according to the calculation of the year. And these serve the four days which are not calculated in the calculation of the year. 2 People go greatly wrong because of these, as these luminaries truly serve in the stations of the world, one in the first portal, one in the third portal, one in the fourth portal, and one in the sixth portal. And the harmony of the world is completed by the 364 stations. 3 The signs, the seasons, the years, and the days, were shown to me by Uriel, the angel whom the splendid Lord appointed over all the heavenly luminaries of the sky and the world, so that they would rule in the face of the sky, and appear over the earth, and become leaders of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the serving creatures which make their circuit with all the heavenly chariots. 4 Likewise, Uriel showed me twelve portals open for the circle of the chariots of the sun in the sky, from which the rays of the sun shoot forth. From them heat comes out over the earth, when they are opened in their appointed seasons. 5 They are for the winds, and the spirit of the dew, when in their seasons they are opened, being opened in the extremities of the heavens. 6 I saw twelve portals in heaven at the extremities of the earth, through which the sun, moon, and stars, and all the works of heaven, rise and set. Many windows also are open on the right and on the left. 7 One window at its appointed season grows hot corresponding to those portals from which the stars go out as they are commanded, and in which they set corresponding to their number. 8 I also saw the heavenly chariots, running in the world, above those portals in which the stars turn, which never set. 9 One of these is bigger than all the others, and it goes around the whole world.
Enoch 76:1 And at the extremities of the earth I saw twelve portals open for all the winds, from which they go out and blow over the earth. 2 Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the back, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. 3 The first three are those which are toward the east, three are toward the north, three behind those which are on the left, to the south, and three on the west. 4 From four of them winds of blessing and health go out, and from eight of them winds of punishment go out in order to destroy the earth, all its inhabitants, and everything that is in the waters or on dry land. 5 The first of these winds goes from the portal called the eastern, through the first portal on the east. The one that goes from the south brings destruction, drought, heat, and devastation. 6 From the second portal, the middle one, goes fairness. From it go rain, fruitfulness, prosperity, and dew. From the third portal which is northwards, go cold and drought. 7 After these the south winds come out through three portals. A hot wind comes through the first portal, which is to the east. 8 But from the middle portal come lovely fragrances, dew, rain, prosperity, and life. 9 Dew, rain, locusts, and destruction go out from the third portal, which is to the west. 10 After these are the north winds. From the seventh portal on the east, come dew, rain, locusts, and destruction. 11 From the portal exactly in the middle comes rain, dew, life, and prosperity. From the third portal which is to the west, come mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and locusts. 12 After these are the west winds. Through the first portal, which is to the north, come dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and ice. 13 From the middle portal come dew, rain, prosperity, and blessing. 14 Through the last portal, which is to the south, come drought, destruction, scorching, and devastation. The account of the twelve portals of the four quarters of heaven is complete. I have explained to you all their regulations, all their infliction of punishment, and the good produced by them, my son Methuselah.
Enoch 77:1 The first quarter is called the eastern, because it is the first. The second is called the south, because the Most High descends there, he who is blessed forever and descends there frequently. 2 The western quarter is named Reduced (diminished), because there all the luminaries of heaven are diminished and go down. 3 The fourth quarter, which is named the “north”, is divided into three parts, one of which is for human habitation, another for seas of water, with the deeps, forests, rivers, shady places, and mist, and the third part contains the garden of justice. 4 I saw seven high mountains, higher than all the mountains of the earth, and snow comes from them, while days, seasons, and years depart and pass away. 5 I saw seven rivers on the earth larger than all rivers, one of which comes from the west and flows into the Great Sea. 6 Two come from the north to the sea, and their waters flow into the Red Sea (Erythraean) in the east. 7 And the remaining four flow out on the north side, to their seas, two to the Red Sea (Erythraean), and two into the Great Sea, where it is also said there is a desert. 8 I saw seven large islands, in the sea and on the earth, and five in the Great Sea.
Enoch 78:1 The names of the sun are these: the first Orjares, and the second Tomas. 2 The moon has four names. The first is Asonja, the second, Ebla, the third, Benase, and the fourth, Erae. 3 These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are like the orbs of heaven, and the dimensions of both appear equal. 4 In the orb of the sun there are seven portions of light, which is added to it more than to the moon and light is transferred to the moon until a seventh portion of the light of the sun is depleted. 5 Then they set and enter the western portal, and make their circuit by the north, and go out over the face of heaven through the eastern portal. 6 When the moon rises, it, one fourteenth portion of light is all that appears in heaven. In fourteen days the whole of its light is full. 7 But fifteen parts of light are transferred to it until the fifteenth day when its light is full, according to the signs of the year, and it becomes fifteen parts, and the moon grows by the addition of fourteen parts. 8 During its waning on the first day the moon’s light decreases to a fourteenth part, on the second day it decreases to a thirteenth part, on the third day to a twelfth part, on the fourth day to an eleventh part, on the fifth day to a tenth part, on the sixth day to a ninth part, on the seventh day it decreases to an eighth part, on the eighth day it decreases to a seventh part, on the ninth day it decreases to a sixth part, on the tenth day it decreases to a fifth part, on the eleventh day it decreases to a fourth part, on the twelfth day it decreases to a third part, on the thirteenth day it decreases to a second part, on the fourteenth day it decreases to a half of its seventh part, and on the fifteenth day the remainder of its light disappears fully. 9 On certain months the moon has twenty-nine days and once twenty-eight days. 10 And Uriel showed me another regulation: when light is poured into the moon, and on which side it is poured into it by the sun. 11 All the time that the moon’s light is increasing; it is transferring it to itself when opposite the sun, until in fourteen days its light is full in the sky. And when it is wholly lit up, its light is full in the sky. 12 On the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light rises on it. 13 It becomes a full moon on the day that the sun sets in the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east. The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises opposite it, when the moon is seen opposite the sun. 14 On the side on which the moon’s light appears, it wanes there again until all its light disappears, and the days of the month are at an end. Then its orb remains empty of light. 15 For three months it achieves thirty days at its proper time, and for three more months it achieves twenty-nine days, during which it effects it’s waning in the first period of time, and in the first portal for 177 days. 16 And at the time of its rising for three months it appears for thirty days each month, and for three more months it appears twenty-nine days each month. 17 In the night for twenty days each time it looks like a human face, and by day like heaven, and there is nothing else in it except its light.
Enoch 79:1 And now, my son Methuselah, I have shown you everything, and the account of every regulation of the stars of heaven is finished. 2 He showed me every regulation for these, and for every time, and for every rule, and for every year, and for its end, for the order prescribed to it for every month and every week. 3 He showed me also the waning of the moon, which takes place in the sixth portal. Its light becomes full in the sixth portal and after that it is the beginning of the month. 4 Its waning happens in the first portal, at its proper time, until 177 days are completed -according to the mode of calculation by weeks, twenty-five weeks and two days. 5 It falls behind the sun, according to the regulation of the stars; by five days in one period of time when it has completed the pathway you have seen. 6 Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who is their leader, showed me.
Enoch 80:1 In those days Uriel answered me, “I have showed you everything, Enoch, and I have revealed everything to you. You see the sun, the moon, and the leaders of the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and departures. 2 The years will be shortened in the times of wrongdoers. Their offspring will be backward in their prolific soil, and everything done on earth will be subverted, and will not appear in its season. The rain will be held back, and heaven will withhold it. 3 In those days the fruits of the earth will be late, and will not flourish at their proper time, and in their season the fruits of the trees will be withheld at their proper time. 4 “The moon will change its laws, and not be seen at its proper time. 5 But in those days, it will be seen in heaven, on top of a great chariot in the west. It will shine more than light should shine. 6 Many leaders of the stars will wander off, change their ways and actions. Those will not appear at their proper times which have been prescribed for them, 7 and all the classes of the stars will be shut up against wrongdoers. The thoughts of the inhabitants of the earth will go astray concerning them, and they will go astray from their ways. They will do wrong, and think themselves gods, 8 and evil will increase among them. Punishment will come on them and destroy them.”
81 – Enoch’s Letter to Methuselah
Enoch 81:1 He said to me, “Enoch, look at the heavenly tablets and read what is written in it, and understand every individual fact.” 2 Then I looked at everything that was written and read everything that was written and understood it all, all the works of humankind, and of all the humans on earth for all generations of the world. 3 Then I immediately blessed the Lord, the splendid king, because he made all the world’s works. I praised the Lord because of his patience, and I blessed him because of the world’s humans. 4 At that time, I said, “Blessed is the person who will die just and good, and against whom no record of crime has been recorded, and against whom no felony has been found.” 5 Then those three (7) sacred ones brought me and placed me on the earth, in front of the door of my house. They said to me, “Explain everything to Methuselah your son, and inform all your children, that no flesh will be acceptable in the Lord’s presence, for he is their creator. 6 We will leave you with your children for one year, until you recover your strength, so that you may instruct your family, write these things, and explain them to all your children. But in the second year they will take you from their midst 7 and your heart will be strong. For the chosen will point out justice to the chosen, the just will celebrate with the just, congratulating each other, 8 but the wrongdoers will die with wrongdoers and the traitor (apostate) will be drowned with the traitor (apostate). 9 Those who act justly (righteousness) will die on account of the works of humans and will be collected because of the works of the wicked.” 10 In those days they finished conversing with me, and I returned to my fellows, blessing the Lord of worlds.
The Regulations of the Stars
Enoch 82:1 Now, my son Methuselah, I am telling you all these things and writing them down for you. I have revealed everything to you and have given you books about all these things. My son Methuselah preserve the books written by your father, so that you may reveal them to future generations. 2 I have given wisdom to you, to your children, and your descendants, so that they may reveal to their children, for generations, this wisdom that is beyond their thinking.
terrible vision 3 Those who understand it will not sleep but hear it with their ears in order to learn this wisdom, and it will be considered better than eating this good food. 4 Blessed are all the just (righteous), blessed are all who behave in a just (righteous) manner, in whom no crime is found, as in wrongdoers. In the numbering of all the days in which the sun progresses through heaven, it goes in and out of each portal for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousands of classes of the stars, together with the four which are added, and which divide the four quarters of the year, which lead them, and accompany them for four days. 5 Because of these, people very much get it wrong, and do not calculate them in the calculation of the whole year, for they very much get it wrong in respect of them, for they do not know this accurately. 6 But indeed these do belong in the calculation of the whole year, and are recorded forever, one in the first portal, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth, and the year is completed in 364 days. 7 It has been accurately calculated and recorded. Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me, about the luminaries, the months, the fixed times, the years, and the days. The Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded, according to the might of heaven, 8 and the power which it possesses by day and night, Uriel to explain to people the laws of light, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the heavenly powers, which revolve with their respective orbs. This is the regulation of the stars, which set in their places, in their seasons, in their times, in their days, and in their months. 9 These are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter at their times, according to their regulation, in their months, in the times of their influence, and in their stations. 10 Their four leaders, who separate the four quarters of the year, enter first. After these, twelve leaders of their classes, who divide the months and the year into 364 days, with the leaders of a thousand, who divide the days, and for the four additional ones, there are leaders which divide the four quarters of the year. 11 These leaders of a thousand are in the midst of the leaders, and the leaders are added each behind a station, and their leaders make the division. 12 These are the names of the leaders, who divide the four quarters of the year, which are appointed: 13 Milkiel, Heeammelek, Melejal, and Narel. The names of those who lead them are Adnarel, Ijasusael, and Elomeel. 14 These are the three who follow the leaders of the classes of stars, each following after the three leaders of the classes, which in turn follow after the leaders of the stations, who divide the four quarters of the year. In the first part of the year Melkejal rises and rules, this is named the southern sun. All the days of his influence, during which he rules, are 91 days. 15 And these are the signs of the days which are seen on earth in the days of his influence: sweat, heat, and calm. All the trees become fruitful, the leaf of every tree buds, the grain is harvested, the rose and every species of flower blossoms in the field, and the trees of winter wither. 16 These are the names of the leaders who are under them: Berkael, Zelebsel, and another additional leader of a thousand is named Hilujaseph, the days of whose influence have come to an end. 17 The next leader after them is Helemmelek, whose name they call the splendid sun, and all the days of his light are 91 days. 18 These are the signs of the days on earth, heat and drought, while the trees bring forth their fruits, ripe and prepared, and produce their harvest. The flocks breed and bear young. All the fruits of the earth are harvested, with everything in the fields, and the winepress. This takes place during the time of his influence. 19 These are their names and orders, and the leaders who are chiefs of a thousand: Gidaijal, Keel, and Heel. And the name of the additional leader of a thousand is Asfael. The days of his influence are at an end.
Enoch’s First Vision
Enoch 83:1 And now I will show you, my son Methuselah, every sight which I saw prior to your birth. 2 I will relate another vision, which I saw before I was married, they do not resemble each other. The first was when I was learning to write and the other before I married your mother. I saw a terrible vision 3 and sought the Lord about it. I was lying down in the house of my grandfather Mahalalel, when I saw in a vision the heavens collapse and they were snatched away and fell to the earth. 4 I also saw the earth absorbed by a huge abyss, and mountains suspended over mountains. Hills were sinking on hills, and tall trees were gliding off from their trunks, and were being hurled into the abyss. 5 Words fell into my mouth and I cried out, “The earth is destroyed!” (By the Flood) Then my grandfather Mahalalel woke me up as I lay near him, and asked me, “Why did you cry out like this, my son, why are you moaning?” 7 I told him the whole vision which I had seen. He said to me, “My son, you have seen a terrible thing! The vision in your dream concerns every secret wrongdoing of the earth. It will sink into the abyss, and a great destruction will take place. 8 Now, my son, get up, and implore the splendid Lord, for you are faithful, that a remnant may be left on the earth and that he would not completely destroy it. 9 My son, all this disaster on earth comes down from heaven, and great destruction will come on the earth.” 10 Then I got up, prayed, and pleaded, and wrote down my prayer for the generations of the world, explaining everything to my son Methuselah. 11 When I had gone down below, and looked up to heaven, I saw the sun rising in the east, the moon setting in the west, a few scattered stars, and everything which God has known from the beginning, I blessed the Lord of judgment, and praised him, because he had sent the sun from the windows of the east, so that it rose and set and in the face of the heavens, and kept on the pathway appointed for it.
Enoch 84:1 I lifted up my hands with justice, and blessed the sacred, and the Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a mortal tongue, which God has formed for all the mortal humans, so that they may speak forever and ever. 2 Your dominion lasts for generation after generation. All the heavens are your throne forever, and the whole earth your footstool forever and ever.3 For you have made them, and you reign over everything. No deed whatsoever is beyond your power. Your wisdom is never changes, nor does it leave your throne or your presence. You know, see, and hear all things; there is nothing that is concealed from you, for you perceive everything. 4 “The angels of your heavens have misbehaved, and your fury will remain on mortal flesh, until the day of the great judgment. 5 Now then, God, Lord and great King, I entreat you, and implore you to grant my prayer, that a posterity may be left for me on earth, and that the whole human race may not perish, so that the earth will not be left without inhabitants in the face of eternal destruction. 6 My Lord let the race which has made you angry perish from the earth but establish a just and honest race for a posterity forever. Lord do not ignore your servant’s prayer!”, giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with. “Blessed are you, Lord, the King, great and powerful in your greatness, Lord of all the creatures of heaven, King of kings, God of the whole world, whose reign, kingdom, and magnificence last.
85 – Prophecy About the Animals
Enoch 85:1 After this I saw another dream, and I will explain it all to you, my son. 2 Enoch arose and said to his son Methuselah, “My son, will I speak to you. Hear my words and listen to the visionary dream of your father. 3 Before I married your mother Edna, I saw a vision in my sleep. A cow (Adam) sprung out of the earth, and this cow was white. 4 After that a female young cow (Eve) sprung out, and other young cows were with it. One of them was black (Cain), and one was red (Abel). 5 The black young cow (Cain) then struck the red one (Abel), and chased it over the earth. “From then on I could see nothing more of the red young cow (Abel), but the black one (Cain) increased in size, and a female young cow (his wife) went with him. After this I saw many cows coming out (their children), looking like him and following him. 6 The first female young cow (Eve) also went away from the first cow (Adam), and looked for the red young cow (Abel), but did not find him. She was greatly distressed while she was looking for him. 7 “Then I watched until the first cow (Adam) came to her and calmed her down, and she stopped crying. 8 Afterward she calved another white cow (Seth), and afterward calved many cows and black young cows (more children). 9 In my sleep I also perceived the white bull (Seth), which grew in the same way, and became a large white bull. After him many white cows (his descendants) which looked like him came out. They began to calve many other white cows (his descendants), which looked like them and followed each other.”
Enoch 86:1 Again I looked attentively in my sleep, and surveyed heaven above. And a single star (Azazel) fell from heaven! It got up, and ate and grazed among those cows. 2 After that I perceived the large black cows, and all of them changed their stalls and their young cows, and they began to moan one with another! 3 Again I looked in my vision, and saw heaven, when I saw many stars (The Watchers), which descended, and projected themselves from heaven to where the first star (Azazel) was! It was the middle of those young cows and cows (women and men), grazing among them. 4 I observed them, and they all acted like stallions ready to serve, and began to mount the young cows (women), all of whom became pregnant, and gave birth to elephants, camels, and donkeys! (Giants, Nephilim, and Elioud.) 5 The cows were alarmed and terrified at this, and began biting with their teeth, devouring, and goring with their horns. 6 And thus they began to eat those cows. All the inhabitants of the earth were terrified, shook with fear at them, and fled away!
Enoch 87:1 Again, I perceived them, how they began to strike and gore each other, and the earth cried out. 2 Then I lifted my eyes a second time to heaven and saw in the vision that there came from heaven, beings that looked like white humans. Four (Archangels) came from there, and three (angels) with them. 3 Those three, who came out last, took me by my hand and lifted me from the races of earth, and lifted me to a high place. Then they showed me a tower high above the earth, with all the hills much lower. 4 One said to me, “Stay here, until you see what happens to those elephants, camels, and donkeys (Giants, Nephilim and Elioud), to the stars (the Watchers), and to all the cows (the humans).
Enoch 88:1 Then I looked at the one of the four white humans, who came out first (Raphael). He seized the first star (Azazel) which had fallen from heaven. He bound it hand and foot and threw it into an abyss, a narrow, deep, terrible, and gloomy abyss. 2 Then one of them drew his sword, and gave it to the elephants, camels, and donkeys (Giants, Nephilim and Elioud), who began to strike each other. And the whole earth shook because of them. 3 And when I looked in the vision, one of those four who had come out threw a line from heaven, and collected all the huge stars, whose penises were like those of horses, and bound them all hand and foot, and threw them into an abyss of the earth.
Enoch 89:1 Then one of those four went to a white cow (Noah) and taught him a mystery and he was trembling. He was born a bull, and became a human, and he built a large vessel (the Ark). He lived in it, 2 and three cows (Shem, Ham and Japheth) lived with him in that vessel, which covered them. Again, I lifted up my eyes toward heaven, and saw a high roof. Seven channels were above it, and they poured much water on a certain place. Again, I looked, and springs opened on the earth in that large place! The water began to bubble up, and rose over the earth, so that the place was not seen, and all its soil was covered with water. 3 There was much water over it, darkness, and clouds. I looked at the height of this water, and it was higher than the place. It flowed over the place and stood higher than the earth. 4 Then all the cows (humans) which were gathered there, while I looked on them, were drowned, swallowed up, and destroyed in the water. 5 But the vessel (the Ark) floated above it. All the cows, the elephants, the camels, and the donkeys (humans, Giants, Nephilim and Elioud), were drowned on the earth, along with all the animals, so that I could not see them. They were unable to get out but perished and sank into the deep. 6 Again, I looked in the vision until those water channels were removed from that high roof, and the fountains of the earth became level, while other depths were opened. 7 The water began to go down into them, until dry ground appeared. 8 The vessel (the Ark) settled on the earth, the darkness receded, and it became light. Then the white cow (Noah) which became a human went out of the ship and the three cows (Shem, Ham, and Japheth) with him. One of the three cows was white, resembling that cow, one of them was red as blood, and one of them was black (different human races). And the white cow (Noah) left them. 9 They began to produce wild animals and birds, so from them came different species: lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, hyenas, wild boars, foxes, squirrels, swine, falcons, vultures, kites, eagles, and ravens. Then the white cow (Abraham) was born amongst them. 10 And they began to bite each other, when the white cow (Abraham), which was born among them, fathered a wild donkey (Ishmael) and a white bull (Isaac) at the same time, and after that many wild donkeys (the Ishmaelites). 11 Then the white cow, (Isaac) which was born, gave birth to a black wild sow and a white sheep (Esau and Jacob). That wild sow also fathered many swine. And that sheep (Jacob) fathered twelve sheep (The Twelve Patriarchs). 12 When those twelve sheep grew up, they handed one of them (Joseph) to the donkeys (the Midianites) and they handed that sheep (Joseph) to the wolves (the Egyptians), and he grew up among them. 13 Then the Lord brought the eleven other sheep (the remaining Patriarchs), to live and graze with him in the middle of the wolves (the Egyptians). They increased and became many flocks of sheep (had many descendants). 14 But the wolves (the Egyptians) began to frighten them and oppress them, until they took off with their young ones. And they left their young (the Egyptians’ young) in currents of deep water. Now the sheep (the Hebrews) began to cry out because of their young and complained to their Lord. 15 One sheep (Moses) which had been saved from the wolves (the Egyptians), escaped, and went away to the wild donkeys (the Ishmaelites). I saw the sheep (the Hebrews) moaning, crying, and petitioning their Lord with all their might, until the Lord of the sheep descended in response to their call from his high dwelling, went to them, and inspected them. 16 He called that sheep (Moses) which had left the wolves (the Egyptians) and told him to make the wolves (the Egyptians) understand that they were not to touch the sheep (the Hebrews). 17 Then that sheep (Moses) went to the wolves (the Egyptians) with the Lord’s words, when another sheep (Aaron) met him and went with him. Both of them together entered the dwelling of the wolves (the Egyptians) and spoke to them to make them understand that from then on, they were not to touch the sheep (the Hebrews). 18 Afterward I saw how the wolves (the Egyptians) were acting even more forcefully to the sheep (the Hebrews) with all their might. The sheep (the Hebrews) cried out, 19 and their Lord came to them. He began to strike the wolves (the Egyptians), who began to moan, but the sheep (the Hebrews) kept quiet and from then on did not call out. 20 I then watched them until they left the wolves (the Egyptians). The eyes of the wolves (the Egyptians) were blinded, and they went out and pursued sheep (the Hebrews) with all their might. 21 But the Lord of the sheep went with them and guided them. All his sheep followed him. 22 His face was terrifying and splendid, and his appearance was superlative. Yet the wolves (the Egyptians) began to chase the sheep (the Hebrews), until they overtook them in a certain body of water (The Red Sea). 23 Then that water became divided, the water standing up on both sides in front of them. And while their Lord was guiding them, he placed himself between them and the wolves (the Egyptians). 24 The wolves (the Egyptians) however had not yet seen the sheep (the Hebrews) but went into the middle of the water after them into the body of water (The Red Sea). 25 But when they saw the Lord of the sheep, they turned to flee from him. Then the water returned, and suddenly went back to its natural state. It became full and swelled up until it covered the wolves (the Egyptians). 26 And I saw that all the wolves (the Egyptians) which had followed the sheep (the Hebrews) perished and drowned. 27 But the sheep (the Hebrews) passed over this water, and went to a wilderness, which was without both water and grass. And they began to open their eyes and see. 28 Then I saw the Lord of the sheep inspecting them and giving them water and grass. The sheep (Moses) already mentioned was going with them and guiding them. 29 And when he had ascended the top of a tall rock, the Lord of the sheep sent him to them. Afterward I saw their Lord standing in front them, and his face was terribly severe. When they all saw him, they were frightened by his appearance. 30 All of them were alarmed, and trembled. They cried out after that sheep (Moses), 31 and to the other sheep (the Hebrews) who had been with him, and who was in among them, “We are unable to stand in our Lord’s presence or look at him!” Then that sheep (Moses) who guided them went away and ascended the top of the rock (Mount Sinai). Then the rest of the sheep (the Hebrews) began to grow blind, and to wander from the pathway that had been shown them, but he was unaware of it. 32 Their Lord however was extremely angry with them, and when that sheep (Moses) had learned what had happened, he came down from the top of the rock (Mount Sinai), and coming to the sheep (the Hebrews), found that there were many which had become blind, and had wandered off the path.33 As soon as they saw him, they were afraid and trembled and wanted to return to their pens. Then that sheep (Moses), taking with him other sheep (Hebrews), went to those which had gone astray and began to kill them. They were terrified by his appearance. Then he caused those which had gone astray to come back, and they went back to their pens. 34 I also saw there in the vision, that this sheep who became a man (Moses), built a house (the desert Tabernacle) for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in the house. 35 I looked until the sheep (Hebrews) which had met this sheep, their guide (Moses), died. I also looked until all the large sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, and came to grazing land, and approached a river of water (The River Jordan). 36 Then that sheep, their guide, who became a human (Moses), separated from them and died. All the sheep missed him and cried for him bitterly. I also watched until they stopped crying for that sheep (Moses), 37 and passed over the river of water (The River Jordan). And there arose other sheep (The Judges of Israel), all of whom guided them, instead of those who had previously conducted them but who now were dead. Then I watched until the sheep (the Hebrews) came to a good place, a luscious and magnificent land (Canaan). I also saw that they became satisfied, that their house (the Tabernacle) was in the middle of them in a wonderful land. 39 Sometimes their eyes were opened, and sometimes they were blind, until another sheep (Samuel) arose and guided them. He brought them all back, and their eyes were opened. 40 Then dogs, foxes, and wild boars began to devour the sheep (the Hebrews), until again another sheep (Saul) arose, the master of the flock, one of themselves, a ram (Saul), to guide them. 41 This ram (Saul) began to butt on every side those dogs (the Philistines), foxes, and wild boars, until they all perished. 42 The eyes of the sheep were opened and saw the ram (Saul) in the middle of the sheep (Hebrews), how it had abandoned its splendor, and had begun to strike the sheep (Hebrews), trampling them, and behaving without decorum. 43 Then their Lord sent the former sheep (Samuel) again to a different sheep (David), and raised him up to be a ram, and to guide them instead of that sheep (Saul) which had abandoned its splendor. 44 That sheep went to him (David) and speaking with him alone, raised up that ram, and made him a prince and leader of the flock (Hebrews). All the time that the dogs (the Philistines) troubled the sheep, 45 the first ram (Saul) paid respect to this latter ram (David). Then the latter ram (David) got up and fled away from him. And I saw that those dogs (the Philistines) caused the first ram (Saul) to fall. 46 But the latter ram (David) arose and guided the smaller sheep (the Hebrews). 47 That ram (David) likewise fathered many sheep, and then died. Then there was a smaller sheep (Solomon), which became a ram (king) instead of him, a prince and leader, guiding the flock (Hebrews). 48 And the sheep (Hebrews) grew and increased in number. And all the dogs (the Philistines), foxes, and wild boars were afraid, and ran away from him. That ram (Solomon) also struck and killed all the wild animals, so that they could not again triumph over the sheep (Hebrews), nor at any time ever snatch anything from them. And that house was made large and wide, and a high tower (Temple) was built on it for the sheep (Hebrews), for the Lord of the sheep. The house was low, but the tower (Temple) was elevated and very high. Then the Lord of the sheep stood on the high tower (Temple), and they spread a full table to in front of him. 49 Again, I saw those sheep (Hebrews) who went astray, and went various ways, and abandoned that their house. The Lord of the sheep called some of the sheep (Hebrews) among them, whom he sent to the sheep (prophets), but the sheep (the Hebrews) began to kill them. 50 But one of them (Elijah) was saved from slaughter. He sprang up and cried out against the sheep (the Hebrews) who wanted to kill him. But the Lord of the sheep saved him from them, and brought it up to me, and made it stay. 51 He also sent many others to them (prophets), to bear witness, and to complain about them. 52 Again, I saw, when some of them abandoned the house of their Lord, and his tower (Temple), they went astray with everything, and their eyes were blinded. I saw that the Lord of the sheep did much slaughter among them in their pasture, until they invited that slaughter, and betrayed his place. 53 Then he handed them over to lions, tigers, wolves, hyenas, to the power of foxes, and to all animals (all human races). And the wild animals began to tear the sheep (Hebrews). 54 I also saw that he abandoned the house of their ancestors (the Levites took the Ark), and their tower (Temple), and handed them over to the power of lions (the Assyrians) to tear them up and devour them, and handed them over to the power of all animals (all human races). 55 Then I began to cry out with all my might, pleading with the Lord of the sheep, and showing him how the sheep (Hebrews) were devoured by all the animals. 56 But he looked on in silence, happy that they were devoured, swallowed up, and carried away, and leaving them in the power of all the animals (all human races) for food. 57 He called also seventy shepherds and designated the care of the sheep (the Hebrews) to them, that they would care for them. He said to them and to their associates, “Every one of you from now on is to take care of the sheep (the Hebrews), and you are to do whatever I order you to do, 58 and I will hand them over to you properly numbered. I will tell you which of them is to be slain, and you are to destroy these ones.” And he handed the sheep over to them. 59 Then he called another, and said, “Observe, and watch everything that the shepherds do to these sheep, because many more of them than I have commanded will be destroyed. 60 Make an account of every excess of slaughter which the shepherds commit, of how many have perished by my order, and how many they may have destroyed by their own decision. There will be an account of all the destruction brought about by each of the shepherds, 61 and according to the number, I will have a record made for evidence as to how many they have destroyed by their own decision, and how many they have handed over for destruction. This is so that I may have this evidence against them, and so that I may know all their dealings, and that I may see what they will do in handing the sheep over to them, whether or not they will act as I have ordered them. 62 “However, they are to be unaware of this. You are not to make any explanation to them, and you are not to reprimand them, but there will be an account of all the destruction done by each individual in their respective times.” 63 Then they began to kill and destroy more than they were ordered to. They left the sheep (Hebrews) in the power of the lions (the Assyrians), 64 so that very many of them were eaten and swallowed up by lions and tigers, and wild boars preyed on them. They burnt that tower (Temple) and overthrew that house. 65 Then I was extremely upset because of the tower (Temple), and because the house of the sheep was overthrown. Afterward I was unable to perceive whether they entered that house again. 66 The shepherds and their associates handed them over to all the wild animals, so that they could eat them. Each of them in their own time, according to their number, was delivered up, and it was recorded in a book how each of them was destroyed. 67 However, more than ordered were killed and destroyed. Then I began to cry, and I was extremely upset because of the sheep. 68 In the same way too, I saw in the vision the one who wrote, how daily he wrote down each one destroyed by the shepherds. He brought up and showed each of his books to the Lord of the sheep. His books contained everything they had done, and everything each of them had made away with, and everything which they had handed over to be destroyed. 69 The Lord of the sheep took the book up in his hands, read it, sealed it, and put it down. 70 After this, I saw shepherds pasturing sheep for twelve hours. And three of the sheep (Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah) returned (the return after exile), arrived, went in, and began building everything that had fallen from that house! But the wild boars (the Samaritans) tried to prevent them, but they were not able to. 71 Again, they began to build as before, and raised up that tower, which was a high tower (the second Temple). And again, they began to place a table in front of the tower (the second Temple) which had every impure and unclean kind of food on it. 72 In addition to this, all the sheep were blinded and could not see, as was also the case with the shepherds. Thus, they handed more over to the shepherds to be destroyed, and they trampled them underfoot and ate them up. 73 Yet their Lord stayed silent, until all the sheep were all mixed with the wild animals, but the shepherds did not save them from the power of the wild animals. 74 Then he who wrote the book went up and showed it and read it out at the residence of the Lord of the sheep. He petitioned him for them, and prayed, pointing out every act of the shepherds, and testifying against them all in his presence. 75 Then he took the book, and deposited it with their Lord, and left.
Enoch 90:1 I looked until the time that 35 shepherds were pasturing the sheep in the same way as the first shepherds. Others then received them into their hands to pasture them in their respective times, each shepherd in his own time. 2 Afterward I saw in the vision that all the birds of sky arrived, eagles, vultures, kites, and ravens. The eagles (the Romans) led them all. They began to devour the sheep, to peck out their eyes, and to eat up their bodies. 3 The sheep cried out because their bodies were devoured by the birds. I also cried out and groaned in my sleep because of the shepherd which pastured the flock. 4 And I looked, while the sheep were eaten up by the dogs, by the eagles, and by the kites. They did not leave them flesh or skin, or their muscles, until only their bones remained, until their bones fell on the ground. And the sheep became few. 5 I also observed during that time that 23 shepherds were pasturing, and they completed, each in their time, 58 times. 6 Then small lambs were born from those white sheep, and they began to open their eyes and see, crying out to the sheep. 7 The sheep, however, did not cry out to them, nor did they hear what they said to them, but they were deaf, blind, and stubborn to the utmost. 8 I saw in the vision that ravens flew down on those lambs, and took one of them, and tore the sheep in pieces, and devoured them. 9 I watched until horns grew on those lambs, and that the ravens knocked down their horns. I also saw that a large horn sprouted out on one of the sheep, and their eyes were opened. 10 He looked at them and their eyes were opened. He called out to them and they ran to him. 11 And besides this, all the eagles, the vultures, the ravens and the kites were still carrying off the sheep, flying down on them and devouring them. The sheep were silent, but the rams lamented and called out. 12 Then the ravens battled and grappled with them. They wished to break his horn, but they did not triumph over him. 13 I looked on until the shepherds, the eagles, the vultures, and the kites came and called out to the ravens to break the horn of the ram, to fight him and kill him. But he struggled with them and called out for help. 14 Then I watched until that man, who had written down the names of the shepherds, and who had ascended into the Lord of the sheep’s presence, arrived. He brought assistance, and showed the ram that help was on its way. 15 I also watched until the Lord of the sheep came to them angrily, while all those who saw him fled away, all fell down in his presence. 16 All the eagles, the vultures, ravens, and kites assembled, and brought with them all the wild sheep. They all came together and tried to break the ram’s horn. 17 Then I saw that the man, who wrote the book at the order of the Lord, opened the book of destruction that the last twelve shepherds had made. He pointed out in the presence of the Lord of the sheep that they had destroyed more than had those who preceded them. 18 I also saw that the Lord of the sheep came to them and took the scepter of his anger in his hand. He struck the earth, which split open. All the animals and birds of the sky fell from the sheep and sunk into the earth, which closed over them. 19 I also saw that a large sword was given to the sheep, and they went out against all the wild animals to kill them. All the beasts and birds of the sky fled from them. I watched until a throne was erected in a lovely land. 20 The Lord of the sheep sat on it. They took all the sealed books and opened them in front of him. 21 Then the Lord called the first seven white ones and commanded them to bring before him the first (Azazel) of the first stars, which preceded the stars whose penises were like horses, and they brought them all before him. 22 And he spoke to the man who wrote in his presence, who was one of the seven white ones, “Take those seventy shepherds, to whom I handed over the sheep, and who killed more of them than I ordered.” 23 I saw them all bound and standing in front of him. 24 The judgment was held, first on the stars (The Watchers), which were judged and found guilty, and they went to the place of punishment. They were thrown into a deep place which was full of flaming fire, and full of pillars of fire. 25 Then the seventy shepherds were judged and found guilty, and they were thrown into the fiery abyss. 26 At that time I also saw that one abyss was opened in the middle of the earth which was full of fire. The blind sheep were brought there, and were judged and found guilty, and were thrown into that abyss of fire on the earth and burnt. The abyss was on the right side of that house. 27 And I saw the sheep burning, and their bones dissolving. 28 I stood watching him folding up that ancient house, and they removed all its pillars and all the beams and ornaments in it. They removed it and put it in a place on the right side of the earth. 29 I also saw that the Lord of the sheep produced a new house, bigger and taller than the former, and he set it up on the site of the first one which had been folded up. All its pillars were new, and its ornaments were new and more plentiful than the former ancient one, which had been removed, and all the sheep were in it. 30 All the beasts of the earth, and all the birds of heaven, fell down and worshipped them, petitioning them, and obeying them in everything. 31 And the Lord of the sheep was in the middle of it. And I saw all the sheep that were left, all the animals of the earth, and all the birds of the sky, falling down and worshipping those sheep, and begging them and obeying their every command. 31 Then those three, who were dressed in white, and who had taken hold of my hand, the ones who had previously caused me to ascend, and with the hand of him who spoke holding me, raised me up, and placed me among the sheep, before the judgment took place. 32 The sheep were all white and their wool was long and pure. 33 Then all who had perished and had been destroyed, all the wild animals, and every bird of the sky, assembled in that house, while the Lord of the sheep celebrated greatly because they were all good, and had returned to his dwelling. 34 And I watched until they put down the sword which had been given to the sheep, and returned it to his house, sealing it up in the Lord’s presence. All the sheep were enclosed in that house, but it was not capable of containing them, 35 and the eyes of all of them were opened. There was not one among them who did not see. 36 I also saw that the house was large, wide, and extremely full. 37 I also saw that a white cow was born, and its horns were big, and that all the wild animals, and all the birds of the sky, were afraid of it, and continually begged him. 38 Then I saw that the nature of all of them was changed, and that they became white cows. The first among them was a lamb. It was large and on its head were large black horns. While the Lord of the sheep celebrated about them and about all the cows, 39 I lay down among them. I woke up and saw everything. 40 This is the vision which I saw when I was asleep. I woke up and blessed the just Lord and praised him. 41 Afterward I cried profusely, and my tears did not stop, until I could no longer stand it. While I was looking, they flowed on account of what I saw, for everything will come to pass and be fulfilled, all the deeds of humankind in their order were seen by me. 42 That night I remembered my previous dream, and so I cried, and I was troubled, because I had seen that vision.
91 – The Warnings and Blessings of Enoch
Enoch 91:1 And now, my son Methuselah, call to me all your brothers and gather together to me all the sons of your mother; for the word calls me, and the spirit is poured out on me, that I may show you everything that shall befall you forever.’ 2 And thereon Methuselah went and summoned to him all his brothers and assembled his relatives. 3 And he spoke to all the children of righteousness and said: ‘Hear, you sons of Enoch, all the words of your father, and hearken, as you should, to the voice of my mouth; for I exhort you and say to you, beloved: 4 Love righteousness and walk in it, and draw near to righteousness without a double heart, and do not associate with those of a double heart, but walk in righteousness, my sons. And it shall guide you on good paths. And righteousness shall be your companion.’ 5 ‘For I know that violence must increase on the earth, and a great punishment will be executed on the earth, it shall be cut off from its roots, and its whole construct will be destroyed. 6 And unrighteousness shall again be complete on the earth, and all the deeds of unrighteousness and of violence and sin shall prevail a second time. 7 And when sin and unrighteousness and blasphemy and violence in all kinds of deeds increase, and apostasy and transgression and uncleanness increase; a great chastisement shall come from heaven on all these, and the holy Lord will come out with wrath and chastisement to execute judgment on earth. (2 Thessalonians 2:3) 8 In those days’ violence shall be cut off from its roots, and the roots of unrighteousness together with deceit, and they shall be destroyed from under heaven. 9 And all the idols of the heathen shall be abandoned. And the temples burned with fire, and they shall remove them from the whole earth; and the heathen shall be cast into the judgment of fire and shall perish in wrath and in grievous judgment forever. 10 And the righteous shall arise from their sleep, and wisdom shall arise and be given to them. 11 And after that the roots of unrighteousness and those who plan violence and those who commit blasphemy shall be cut off, and the sinners shall be destroyed by the sword. 12 And after this there will be another week; the eighth, that of righteousness, and a sword will be given to it so that the Righteous Judgment may be executed on those who do wrong, and the sinners will be handed over into the hands of the righteous. 13 And, at its end, they will acquire Houses because of their righteousness, and a House will be built for the Great King in Glory, forever. 14 And after this, in the ninth week, the Righteous Judgment will be revealed to the whole world. And all the deeds of the impious will vanish from the whole Earth. And the world will be written down for destruction and all men will look to the Path of Uprightness. 15 And, after this, in the tenth week, in the seventh part, there will be an Eternal Judgment that will be executed on the Watchers and the Great Eternal Heaven that will spring from the midst of the Angels. 16 And the First Heaven will vanish and pass away and a New Heaven will appear, and all the Powers of Heaven will shine forever, with light seven times as bright. 17 And after this, there will be many weeks without number, forever, in goodness and in righteousness. And from then on sin will never again be mentioned. 18 And now I tell you, my sons, and show you, the paths of righteousness and the paths of violence. I will show them to you again that you may know what will come to pass. 19 And now, hearken to me, my sons, and walk in the paths of righteousness, and walk not in the paths of violence; for all who walk in the paths of unrighteousness shall perish forever.’
Enoch 92:1 The book written by Enoch for all my children who shall live on the earth. And for the future generations who shall observe righteousness and peace. 2 Let not your spirit be troubled on account of the times; for the Holy and Great One has appointed days for all things. 3 And the righteous one shall arise from sleep, (shall arise) and walk in the paths of righteousness, and all his path and conversation shall be in eternal goodness and grace. 4 He will be gracious to the righteous and give him eternal righteousness, and He will give him power so that he shall be (endowed) with goodness and righteousness. And he shall walk in eternal light. 5 And sin shall perish in darkness forever and shall no more be seen from that day forevermore.
Enoch 93:1 And after that Enoch both gave and began to recount from the books. And Enoch said: 2 ‘Concerning the children of righteousness and concerning the elect of the world, and concerning the plant of righteousness, I will speak these things. I Enoch will declare (them) to you, my sons, according to that which appeared to me in heavenly vision, and which I have known through the word of the holy angels and have learned from heavenly tablets.’ 3 And Enoch began to recount from the books and said: ‘I was born the seventh in the first week, able judgment and righteousness still endured. 4 And after me there shall arise in the second week great wickedness, and deceit shall have sprung up; and in it there shall be the first end. 5 And in it a man shall be saved; and after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up, and a law shall be made for the sinners. And after that in the third week at its close a man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgment, and his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness forevermore. 6 And after that in the fourth week, at its close, visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, and a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them. 7 And after that in the fifth week, at its close, the house of glory and dominion shall be built forever. 8 And after that in the sixth week, all who live in it shall be blinded, and the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it a man shall ascend; and at its close the house of dominion shall be burned with fire, and the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed. 9 And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, and many shall be its deeds, and all its deeds shall be apostate. 10 And at its end shall be elected, the elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness shall be chosen to receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation. 11 For who is there of all the children of men that is able to hear the voice of the Holy One without being troubled? And who can think His thoughts? Who is there that can behold all the works of heaven? 12 And how should there be one who could behold heaven, and who is there that could understand the things of heaven and see a soul or a spirit and could tell of it, or ascend and see all their ends and think them or do like them? 13 And who is there of all men that could know what is the breadth and the length of the earth, and to whom has the measurement been shown of all of them? 14 Or is there anyone who could discern the length of the heaven and how great is its height, and on what it is founded, and how great is the number of the stars, and where all the luminaries rest? (Ephesians 3:18)
Enoch 94:1 And now I say to you, my sons, love righteousness and walk in it; because the paths of righteousness are worthy of acceptation, but the paths of unrighteousness shall suddenly be destroyed and vanish. 2 And to certain men of a generation shall the paths of violence and of death be revealed, and they shall hold themselves afar from them, and shall not follow them. 3 And now I say to you, the righteous, walk not in the paths of wickedness, nor in the paths of death, and draw not near to them, lest you be destroyed. 4 But seek and choose for yourselves righteousness and an elect life, and walk in the paths of peace, and you shall live and prosper. 5 And hold (keep) my words in the thoughts of your hearts and permit them not to be erased from your hearts; for I know that sinners will tempt men to evilly entreat wisdom, so that no place may be found for her, and temptation will increase. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) 6 Woe to those who build unrighteousness and oppression and lay deceit as a foundation; for they shall be suddenly overthrown, and they shall have no peace. 7 Woe to those who build their houses with sin; for from all their foundations shall they be overthrown, and by the sword shall they fall. And those who acquire gold and silver shall suddenly perish in the judgment. 8 Woe to you, you rich, for you have trusted in your riches, and from your riches shall you depart, because you have not remembered the Most-High in the days of your riches. (Isaiah 5: 19-23) 9 You have committed blasphemy and unrighteousness, and have become ready for the day of slaughter, and the day of darkness and the day of the great judgment. 10 Thus I speak and tell you: He who hath created you will overthrow you, and for your fall there shall be no compassion, and your Creator will rejoice at your destruction. 11 And your righteousness shall be a reproach to the sinners and the godless in those days. (James 5:1-6)
Enoch 95:1 Would that my eyes were rain clouds of water that I might weep over you and pour down my tears as a cloud of water, that I might rest from my trouble of heart! 2 Who has permitted you to practice reproaches and wickedness? And so, judgment shall overtake you, sinners. 3 You, righteous! Fear not the sinners, for again the Lord will deliver them into your hands, that you may execute judgment on them according to your desires. 4 Woe to you who speak against God (fulminate anathemas) which cannot be removed (reversed) -healing shall be far from you because of your sins. 5 Woe to you who repay your neighbor with evil; for you shall be repaid according to your works. 6 Woe to you, lying witnesses, and to those who weigh out injustice, for you shall suddenly perish. 7 Woe to you, sinners, for you persecute the righteous; for you shall be delivered up and persecuted because of injustice, and your yoke shall be heavy on you. (Luke 6: 24-31)
Enoch 96:1 Be hopeful, you righteous; for suddenly shall the sinners perish before you, and you shall have lordship over them, according to your desires. 2 And in the day of the tribulation of the sinners, your children shall mount and rise as eagles, and your nests shall be higher than the vultures’. You shall ascend as badgers and enter the crevices of the earth, and the clefts of the rock forever before the unrighteous. And the satyrs (sirens) shall sigh and weep because of you. 3 Wherefore fear not, you that have suffered, for healing shall be your portion, and a bright light shall enlighten you, and the voice of rest you shall hear from heaven. 4 Woe to you, you sinners, for your riches make you appear like the righteous, but your hearts convict you of being sinners, and this fact shall be a testimony against you for a memorial of your evil deeds. 5 Woe to you who devour the finest of the wheat, and drink wine in large bowls (the best of waters), and tread underfoot the lowly (humble) with your might. 6 Woe to you who drink water from every fountain (drink water all the time), for suddenly shall you be consumed and wither away, because you have forsaken the fountain of life. 7 Woe to you who work unrighteousness and deceit and blasphemy; it shall be a memorial against you for evil. 8 Woe to you, you mighty, who with might oppress the righteous; for the day of your destruction is coming. Many and good days shall come to the righteous in those days -in the day of your judgment.
Enoch 97:1 Believe, you righteous, that the sinners will become a shame and perish in the day of unrighteousness. 2 Be it known to you, you sinners, that the Most-High is mindful of your destruction, and the angels of heaven rejoice over your destruction. 3 What will you do, you sinners, and where shall you flee on that day of judgment, when you hear the voice of the prayer of the righteous? 4 You shall fare like to them, against whom these words shall be a testimony: “You have been companions of sinners.” 5 And in those days the prayer of the righteous shall reach to the Lord, and for you the days of your judgment shall come. 6 And all the words of your unrighteousness shall be read out before the Great Holy One, and your faces shall be covered with shame, and He will reject every work which is grounded on unrighteousness. 7 Woe to you, you sinners, who live on the middle of the ocean and on the dry land, whose remembrance is evil against you. 8 Woe to you who acquire silver and gold in unrighteousness and say: “We have become rich with riches and have possessions; and have acquired everything we have desired. 9 And now let us do what we purposed, for we have gathered silver, and many are the servants in our houses and our granaries are full to the brim as if with water.” 10 Yea, and like water your lies shall flow away; for your riches shall not abide but quickly depart (go up) from you, for you have acquired it all in unrighteousness, and you shall be given over to a great curse.
Enoch 98:1 And now I swear to you, to the wise and to the foolish, that you shall see (have) many experiences on the earth. 2 For you men shall put on more adornments than a woman, and colored garments more than a young woman, like royalty and in grandeur and in power, and in silver and in gold and in purple, and in splendor and in food they shall be poured out as water. 3 Therefore they shall have neither knowledge nor wisdom, and because of this they shall die together with their possessions; and with all their glory and their splendor, and in shame and in slaughter and in great destitution, their spirits shall be thrown into the furnace of fire. 4 I have sworn to you, you sinners, as a mountain has not become a slave, and a hill does not become the servant of a woman, even so sin has not been sent on the earth, but man of himself has created it, and they that commit it shall fall under a great curse. 5 And barrenness has not been given to the woman, but on account of the deeds of her own hands she dies without children. 6 I have sworn to you, you sinners, by the Holy Great One, that all your evil deeds are revealed in heaven, and that none of your wrong deeds (of oppression) are covered and hidden. 7 And do not think in your spirit nor say in your heart that you do not know and that you do not see that every sin is recorded every day in heaven in the presence of the Most High. 8 From now on, you know that all your wrongdoing that you do will be written down every day, until the day of your judgment. 9 Woe to you, you fools, for through your folly you shall perish; and you do not listen to the wise so no good will come to you against the wise, 10 And so and now, know you that you are prepared for the day of destruction. Therefore do not hope to live, you sinners, but you shall depart and die; for there will be no ransom for you; because you are prepared for the day of the great judgment, for the day of tribulation and great shame for your spirits. 11 Woe to you, you obstinate of heart, who work wickedness and eat blood. Where do you have good things to eat and to drink and to be filled? From all the good things which the Lord the Most High has placed in abundance on the earth; therefore, you shall have no peace. 12 Woe to you who love the deeds of unrighteousness; wherefore do you hope for good for yourselves? You know that you shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous, and they shall cut off your necks and slay you and have no mercy on you. 13 Woe to you who rejoice in the distress of the righteous; for no grave shall be dug for you. 14 Woe to you who say the words of the wise are empty; for you shall have no hope of life. 15 Woe to you who write down lying and godless words; for they write down their lies so that men may hear them and act godlessly towards their neighbor. Therefore, they shall have no peace but die a sudden death.
Enoch 99:1 Woe to you who do godless acts, and praise and honor lies; you shall perish, and no happy life shall be yours. 2 Woe to them who pervert the words of righteousness, and transgress the eternal law, and count themselves as sinless. They shall be trodden under foot on the earth. 3 In those days make ready, you righteous, to raise your prayers as a memorial, and place them as a testimony before the angels, that they may place the sin of the sinners for a reminder before the Most High. 4 In those days the nations shall be stirred up, and the families of the nations shall arise on the day of destruction. 5 And in those days the destitute shall go and throw their children out, and they shall abandon them, so that their children shall perish because of them. They shall abandon their children that are still babies (suckling’s), and not return to them, and shall have no pity on their loved ones. 6 Again, I swear to you, you sinners, that sin is prepared for a day of unceasing bloodshed. (Matthew 24:6-8) 7 And they who worship stones, and carved images of gold and silver and wood and stone and clay, and those who worship impure spirits and demons, and all kinds of idols not according to knowledge, shall get no manner of help from them. 8 And they shall become godless by reason of the folly of their hearts, and their eyes shall be blinded through the fear of their hearts and through visions in their ambitions (dreams) (Colossians 2:16-19). 9 Through these they shall become godless and fearful; for they shall have done all their work with lies, and shall have worshiped a stone, therefore in an instant shall they perish. (Revelation 9:19-21) 10 But in those days blessed are all they who accept the words of wisdom, and understand them, and observe the paths of the Most High, and walk in the path of His righteousness, and become not godless with the godless, for they shall be saved. 11 Woe to you who spread evil to your neighbors, for you shall be slain in Hell. 12 Woe to you who make your foundation that of deceitful (sin) and lies, and who cause bitterness on the earth; for they shall thereby be utterly consumed. 13 Woe to you who build your houses through the hard labor of others, and all their building materials are the bricks and stones of sin; I tell you; you shall have no peace. 14 Woe to them who reject the measure and eternal inheritance of their fathers and whose souls follow after idols; for they shall have no rest. 15 Woe to them who do unrighteous acts and help oppression and kill their neighbors until the day of the great judgment, for He will throw down your glory. 16 For He shall throw down your glory, and bring affliction on your hearts, and shall arouse His fierce anger, and destroy you all with the sword; and all the holy and righteous shall remember your sins.
Enoch 100:1 And in those days in one place the fathers together with their sons shall kill one another and brothers shall fall in death together until the streams flow with their blood. 2 For a man shall not withhold his hand from killing his sons and his sons’ sons, and the sinner shall not withhold his hand from his honored brother, from dawn until sunset they shall kill one another. (Mark 13:12) 3 And the horse shall walk up to the breast in the blood of sinners, and the chariot shall be submerged to its height. (Revelation 14:20) 4 In those days the angels shall descend into the secret places and gather together into one place all those who brought down sin and the Most High will arise on that day of judgment to execute great judgment among sinners. 5 And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from among the holy angels to guard them as the apple of an eye, (1 Peter 1:5) until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, and even if the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have nothing to fear. 6 And the wise men will seek the truth and they and their sons will understand the words of this book and recognize that their riches shall not be able to save them or overcome their sins. 7 Woe to you sinners, on the day of strong anguish, you who afflict the righteous and burn them with fire; you shall be requited according to your works. 8 Woe to you, you obstinate of heart, who watch in order to devise wickedness; therefore, shall fear come on you and there shall be none to help you. 9 Woe to you, you sinners, on account of the words of your mouth, and on account of the deeds of your hands which your godlessness has caused, in blazing flames burning worse than fire shall you burn. (2 Thessalonians 1:7) 10 And now, know that the angels will ask Him in heaven about your deeds and from the sun and from the moon and from the stars they will ask about your sins because on the earth you execute judgment on the righteous. 11 And He will summon to testify against you every cloud and mist and dew and rain; for they shall all be withheld from falling on you, and they shall be mindful of your sins. 12 And now give gifts to the rain that it ceases not from falling on you, nor the dew, when it has received gold and silver from you that it may fall. When the hoar-frost and snow with their chilliness, and all the snowstorms with all their plagues fall on you, in those days you shall not be able to stand before them.
Enoch 101:1 Observe heaven, you children of heaven, and every work of the Most High, and fear Him and work no evil in His presence. 2 If He closes the windows of heaven, and withholds the rain and the dew from falling on the earth on your account, what will you do then? 3 And if He sends His anger on you because of your deeds, you cannot petition Him; for you spoke proud and arrogant words against His righteousness, therefore you shall have no peace. 4 Don’t you see the sailors of the ships, how their ships are tossed back and forth by the waves, and are shaken by the winds, and are in great trouble? 5 And therefore they are afraid because all their nice possessions go on the sea with them, and they have bad feelings in their heart that the sea will swallow them, and they will perish therein. 6 Are not the entire sea and all its waters, and all its movements, the work of the Most High, and has He not set limits to its actions, and confined it throughout by the sand? 7 And at His reproof it fears and dries up, and all its fish die and all that is in it; but you sinners that are on the earth fear Him not. 8 Has He not made heaven and the earth, and all that is in it? Who has given understanding and wisdom to everything that moves on the earth and in the sea? 9 Do not the sailors of the ships fear the sea? Yet you sinners do not fear the Most High.
Enoch 102:1 In those days if He sent a horrible fire on you, where will you flee, and where will you find deliverance? And when He launches out His Word against you will you not be shaken and afraid? 2 And all the luminaries shall be shaken with great fear, and all the earth shall be afraid and tremble and be alarmed. 3 And all the angels shall execute their commands and shall seek to hide themselves from the presence of He who is Great in Glory, and the children of earth shall tremble and shake; and you sinners shall be cursed forever, and you shall have no peace. (2 Peter 3: 8-13) 4 Fear you not, you souls of the righteous, and fear not you who have died in righteousness. 5 And don’t grieve if your soul has descended into the grave in grief, and that in your life you were not rewarded according to your goodness, but wait for the day of the judgment of sinners and for the day of cursing and chastisement. 6 And when you die the sinners will say about you: “As we die, so die the righteous, and what benefit do they reap for their deeds? 7 See, even as we, so do they die in grief and darkness, and what have they more than we? From now on we are equal. 8 And what will they receive and what will they see forever? Look, they too have died, and from now on forever shall they see no light.” 9 I tell you, you sinners, you are content to eat and drink, and rob and sin, and strip men naked, and acquire wealth and see good days. 10 Have you seen the righteous how their end was peace, that no violence is found in them until their death? 11 Nevertheless they died and became as though they had not been, and their spirits descended into Hell in tribulation.
Enoch 103:1 Now, therefore, I swear to the righteous, by the glory of the Great and Honored and Mighty One who reigns, I swear to you, I know this mystery. 2 I have read the heavenly tablets, and have seen the holy books, and have found written in it and inscribed regarding them. 3 That all goodness and joy and glory are prepared for them, and written down for the spirits of those who have died in righteousness, and that much good shall be given to you in reward for your labors, and that your lot is abundant beyond the lot of the living. 4 And the spirits of you who have died in righteousness shall live and rejoice, and your spirits shall not perish, nor shall your memory from before the face of the Great One to all the generations of the world, therefore no longer fear their abuse. 5 Woe to you, you sinners, when you have died, if you die in the abundance of your sins, and woe to those who are like you and say regarding you: “Blessed are the sinners, they have seen all their days. 6 And how they have died in prosperity and in wealth and have not seen tribulation or murder in their life; and they have died in honor, and judgment has not been executed on them during their life.” 7 You know that their souls will be made to descend into Hell and they shall be wracked in great tribulation. 8 And into darkness and chains and a burning flame where there is harsh judgment your spirits shall enter, and the great judgment shall be for all the generations of the world. Woe to you, for you shall have no peace. 9 The righteous and good who are alive, do not say: “In our troubled days we have worked hard and experienced every trouble, and met with much evil and been afflicted, and have become few and our spirit small. 10 And we have been destroyed and have not found any to help us even with a word. We have been tortured and destroyed, and not expect to live from day to day. 11 We hoped to be the head and have become the tail. We have worked hard and had no satisfaction in our labor; and we have become the food of the sinners and the unrighteous, and they have laid their yoke heavily on us. 12 They have ruled over us and hated us and hit us, and to those that hated us we have bowed our necks, but they pitied us not. 13 We desired to get away from them that we might escape and be at rest but found no place where we should flee and be safe from them. 14 We complained to the rulers in our tribulation, and cried out against those who devoured us, but they did not pay attention to our cries and would not listen to our voice. 15 And they helped those who robbed us and devoured us and those who made us few; and they concealed their oppression (wrongdoing), and they did not remove from us the yoke of those that devoured us and dispersed us and murdered us, and they concealed their murder, and did not remember that they had lifted up their hands against us.” (Jeremiah 30: 15-19)
Enoch 104:1 I swear to you, that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One. 2 And your names are written before the glory of the Great One. Be hopeful; for before you were put to shame through sickness and affliction; but now you shall shine as the lights of heaven, 3 You shall shine and you shall be seen, and the doors of heaven shall be opened to you. And in your cry, cry for judgment, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you. 4 Be hopeful, and do not throw away your hopes for you shall have great joy as the angels of heaven. 5 What will you have to do? You shall not have to hide on the day of the great judgment, and you shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal judgment shall not come to you for all the generations, eternally. 6 And now fear not, you righteous, when you see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways; do not be their companions but keep away from their violence. 7 For you shall become companions of the hosts of heaven. And, although you sinners say, “All our sins shall not be found out and be written down,” nevertheless they shall write down all your sins every day. 8 And now I show to you that light and darkness, day and night, see all your sins. 9 Do not be godless in your hearts, and do not lie and do not change the words of righteousness, nor say that the words of the Holy Great One are lies, nor praise or rely on your idols; for all your lying and all your godlessness come not from (or lead not to) righteousness but from (or lead to) great sin. 10 And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words. 11 But when they write down all my words truthfully in their languages, and do not change or omit any of my words but write them all down truthfully -all that I first testified concerning them. 12 Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to produce joy and righteousness and much wisdom. 13 And to them the books shall be given, and they shall believe them and rejoice over them, and then all the righteous who have learned from them all the paths of righteousness shall be paid back.’
105 – Additions to the Book of Noah
Enoch 105:1 In those days the Lord called them (the wise and righteous) to testify to the children of earth concerning their wisdom: Show it to them; for you are their guides, and a recompense over the whole earth. 2 For I and my son will be united with them forever in the paths of righteousness in their lives; and you shall have peace: rejoice, you children of righteousness. Amen.
Enoch 106:1 And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son, Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a son. And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long curls were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. 2 And when he opened his eyes, he lit up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. 3 And on it he levitated (arose) in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness. 4 And his father, Lamech, was afraid of him and fled, and came to his father Methuselah. And he said to him: ‘I have begotten a strange son, different and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different, and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his face is glorious. 5 And it seems to me that he did not spring from me but from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be performed on the earth. 6 And now, my father, I am here to ask you and beg you that you may go to Enoch, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is among the angels.” 7 And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that I was there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice, and I came to him. And I said to him: ‘Behold, here am I, my son, why have you come to me? ‘ 8 And he answered and said: ‘Because of a great cause of anxiety have I come to you, and because of a disturbing vision have I approached. 9 And now, my father, hear me. To Lamech, my son, there has been born a son, the like of whom there is none other, and his nature is not like man’s nature, and the color of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his eyes and the whole house lit up. 10 And he levitated (arose) in the hands of the midwife and opened his mouth and blessed the Lord of heaven. 11 And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and now I have come to you that you may make known to me the truth.’ 12 And I, Enoch, answered and said to him: ‘The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to you that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven violated the word of the Lord. And they commit sin and broke the law and have had sex (united themselves) with women and committed sin with them, and have married some of them, and have had children by them. 13 And they shall produce on the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. 14 There shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a flood (deluge) and a great destruction for one year. 15 And this son who has been born to you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth shall die, he and his sons shall be saved. 16 And now make known to your son, Lamech, that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come on the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be full (completed) on the earth in his days. 17 And after that (flood) there shall be more unrighteousness than that which was done before on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in heavenly tablets.
Enoch 107:1 And I saw written about them that generation after generation shall transgress, until a generation of righteousness arises, and transgression is destroyed and sin passes away from the earth, and all manner of good comes on it. 2 And now, my son, go and make known to your son Lamech that this son, which has been born, is in truth his son, and this is no lie.’ 3 And when Methuselah had heard the words of his father Enoch, for he had shown to him everything in secret, he returned and showed those things to him and called the name of that son Noah; for he will comfort the earth after all the destruction.
Enoch 108:1 Another book which Enoch wrote for his son Methuselah and for those who will come after him and keep the law in the last days. 2 You who have done good shall wait for those days until an end is made of those who work evil; and an end of the power of the wrongdoers. 3 And wait until sin has passed away indeed, for their names shall be blotted out of the Book of Life and out of the holy books, and their (children) seed shall be destroyed forever, and their spirits shall be killed, and they shall cry and lament in a place that is a chaotic desert, and they shall be burned in the fire; for there is no earth there. 4 I saw something there like an invisible cloud; because it was so deep, I could not look over it, and I saw a flame of fire blazing brightly, and things like shining mountains circling and sweeping back and forth. 5 And I asked one of the holy angels who was with me and said to him: ‘What is this bright thing (shining)? For it is not heaven but there was only the flame of a blazing fire, and the voice of weeping and crying and moaning, lamenting, and agony.’ 6 And he said to me: ‘This place which you see are where the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, are cast and the spirits of those who pervert everything that the Lord hath spoken through the mouth of the prophets and even the prophecies (things that shall be). 7 For some of them are written and inscribed above in heaven, in order that the angels may read them and know that which shall befall the sinners, and the spirits of the humble, and of those who have afflicted their bodies, and been recompensed by God; and of those who have been abused (put to shame) by wicked men: 8 Who love God and loved neither gold nor silver nor any of the good things which are in the world but gave over their bodies to torture. 9 Who, since they were born, longed not after earthly food, but regarded everything as a passing breath, and lived accordingly, and the Lord tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should bless His name. 10 And all the blessings destined for them I have recounted in the books. And he has assigned them their reward, because they have been found to love heaven more than their life in the world, and though they were trodden under foot by wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, they blessed me. 11 And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not rewarded with such honor as their faithfulness deserved. 12 And I will bring out in shining light those who have loved My holy name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honor. (Matthew 19: 28) 13 And they shall shine for time without end; for righteousness is the judgment of God, because to the faithful He will give faithfulness in the habitation of upright paths. 14 And they shall see those who were born in darkness led into darkness, while the righteous shall shine. And the sinners shall cry aloud and see them shining, and they indeed will go where days and seasons are written down (prescribed) for them.
