Calling Enoch | Enoch III Chapter 2

Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that the earth is in such evil plight and shaken, lest perchance I shall perish with it?

Book III

Chapter 2

1 And in those days Noah saw the earth that it had sunk down and its destruction

was nigh.

2 And he arose from thence and went to the ends of the earth, and cried aloud to

his grandfather Enoch.

3 Noah said three times with an embittered voice: "Hear me, hear me, hear me."

4 And I said unto him: "Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that the

earth is in such evil plight and shaken, lest perchance I shall perish with it?"

5 And thereupon there was a great commotion , on the earth, and a voice was

heard from heaven, and I fell on my face.

6 And Enoch my grandfather came and stood by me, and said unto me: "Why

hast thou cried unto me with a bitter cry and weeping?

7 A command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those

who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt

all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the Satans, and all their

powers, the most secret ones.

8 And all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft,

and the power of those who make molten images. For the whole earth: And how

silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal originates in the

earth. For lead and tin are not produced from the earth like the first: it is a

fountain that produces them, and an angel stands therein, and that angel is

preeminent."

9 And after that my grandfather Enoch took hold of me by my hand and raised

me up, and said unto me: "Go, for I have asked the Lord of Spirits as touching

this commotion on the earth.

10 And He said unto me: "Because of their unrighteousness their judgement has

been determined upon and shall not be withheld by Me for ever. Because of the

sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and those who dwell

upon it shall be destroyed."

11 And these, they have no place of repentance for ever, because they have

shown them what was hidden, and they are the damned: but as for thee, my son,

the Lord of Spirits knows that thou art pure, and guiltless of this reproach

concerning the secrets.

12 And He has destined thy name to be among the holy and will preserve thee

amongst those who dwell on the earth. And has destined thy righteous seed both

for kingship and for great honors, and from thy seed shall proceed a fountain of

the righteous and holy without number for ever."

13 And after that he showed me the angels of punishment who are prepared to

come and let loose all the powers of the waters which are beneath in the earth in

order to bring judgement and destruction on all who dwell on the earth.

14 And the Lord of Spirits gave commandment to the angels who were going

forth that they should not cause the waters to rise but should hold them in check;

for those angels were over the powers of the waters.

15 And I went away from the presence of Enoch.
