ENOCH'S VISION OF THE FUTURE DELUGE
- The Final Translation of Enoch.
Chapter 70
1 After this was done, the name of the Son of Man living with the Lord of Spirits, was exalted by those who well on the earth.
2 He was exalted by the chariots of the spirit, and his name went forth in the midst of them.
3 From that day I was not drawn in the midst of them, but he seated me between two spirits, between the north and the west, where the angels received their ropes to measure out a place for the elect and the righteous.
4 There I saw the first fathers, and the righteous who dwell in that place for ever.
- Two earlier visions of Enoch.
Chapter 71
1 After this my spirit was concealed,
And ascended into the heavens,
I saw the angels the sons of the Holy One,
Treading on flaming fire.
Their garments and raiment were white,
And their countenances transparent as crystal.
2 I saw two streams of fire,
And the splendour of the fire shone like the hyacinth.
And I fell on my face before the Lord of Spirits.
3 And the angel Michael, one of the archangels, took me by my right hand,Raised me up, and brought me out to where there was every secret of mercy,And secret of righteousness.
4 He shewed me all the hidden things of the ends of the heavens,All the receptacles of the stars, and the splendours of all,From whence they went forth before the face of the Holy One.
5 And he concealed the spirit of Enoch in the heaven of heavens.And I saw there in the midst of that light,that there was a mansion built with stones of crystal.And in the midst of these stones were tongues of living fire.
6 My spirit saw an enclosure which enclosed this mansion,And from its four ends came forth streams of living fire,And they encompassed that mansion.
7 And the Cherubim, and Seraphim, and the Ophanin surrounded it,These are they who never sleep,But preserve the throne of His glory.
8 And I saw angels innumerable,Thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads,Who surrounded that mansion.Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Phanuel, and the holy angels who were in the heavens above, went in and out of that mansion.
9 Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Phanuel,Went out of that mansionAnd holy angels without number.
10 With them was the Creator of Days,Whose head was white like wool,And pure, and His robe could not be described.
11 Then I fell upon my face,While all my flesh was loosened,And my spirit became changed.I cried out with my voice,With the spirit of power,And I praised, glorified, and exalted.
12 And these praises which went out of my mouth, were pleasing in the presence of the Creator of Days.
13 The Creator of Days came with Michael, and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, with thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads of angels without number.
14 And that angel came to me, and with his voice saluted me, and said to me, “Thou art the offspring of man, who art born for righteousness,And with thee righteousness remains.The righteousness of the Creator of Days shall never forsake thee.”
15 He said to me,“He shall call to thee 'Salem' by His Name, for the world which exists,For from thence peace has gone forth since the creation of the world.And so he will be with thee for ever and ever.
16 “All who exist, and who walk in thy ways of righteousness,Shall not forsake thee for ever.Their habitations and their portions shall be with thee,And they shall not be separated from thee for ever and ever.
17 And thus shall length of days be with the Son of Man.And there will be peace to the righteous in the direct way of righteousness,In the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.”
