enoch chapter 1
1The word of
the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the elect and the righteous, who were to
exist in the time of trouble; rejecting all the wicked and ungodly. Enoch, a
righteous man, who was (1) with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were
open, and while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me.
2From them I
heard all things, and understood what I saw; that which will not take place in
this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period,
on account of the elect.
3Upon their
account I spoke and conversed with him, who will go forth from his habitation,
the Holy and Mighty One, the God of the world:
4Who will
hereafter tread upon Mount Sinai; appear with his hosts; and be manifested in
the strength of his power from heaven.
5All shall
be afraid, and the Watchers be terrified.
6Great fear
and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth. The lofty
mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a
honeycomb in the flame. The earth shall be immerged, and all things which are
in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous:
7But to them
shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise
clemency.
8Then shall
all belong to God; be happy and blessed; and the splendour of the Godhead shall
illuminate them.
