The Second Parable | Enoch II Chapter 2

Concerning those who deny the name of the dwelling of the holy ones and the Lord of Spirits.

Book II

Chapter 2

1 And this is the second Parable concerning those who deny the name of the

dwelling of the holy ones and the Lord of Spirits.

2 And into the heaven they shall not ascend, and on the earth they shall not

come. Such shall be the lot of the sinners who have denied the name of the Lord

of Spirits. Who are thus preserved for the day of suffering and tribulation.

3 On that day Mine Elect One shall sit on the throne of glory and shall try their

works, and their places of rest shall be innumerable. And their souls shall grow

strong within them when they see Mine Elect Ones.

4 And those who have called upon My glorious name: Then will I cause Mine

Elect One to dwell among them.

5 And I will transform the heaven and make it an eternal blessing and light and I

will transform the earth and make it a blessing: and I will cause Mine Elect Ones

to dwell upon it: But the sinners and evil−doers shall not set foot thereon.

6 For I have provided and satisfied with peace My righteous ones and have

caused them to dwell before Me: But for the sinners there is judgement

impending with Me, so that I shall destroy them from the face of the earth.

7 And there I saw One who had a head of days, and His head was white like

wool, and with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance

of a man, and his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.

8 And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things,

concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, and why he went

with the Head of Days.

9 And he answered and said unto me: "This is the Son of Man who hath

righteousness. With whom dwelleth righteousness, and who reveals all the

treasures of that which is hidden. Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him,

and whose lot hath preeminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for

ever.

10 And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen shall raise up the kings and the

mighty from their seats and shall loosen the reins of the strong, and break the

teeth of the sinners. Because they do not extol and praise Him, Nor humbly

acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them.

11 And he shall put down the countenance of the strong, and shall fill them with

shame. Darkness shall be their dwelling and worms shall be their bed. They shall

have no hope of rising from their beds because they do not extol the name of the

Lord of Spirits.

12 These are they who judge the stars of heaven, tread upon the earth, and dwell

upon it.

13 All their deeds manifest unrighteousness and their power rests upon their

riches.

14 Their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands and they

deny the name of the Lord of Spirits.

15 They persecute the houses of His congregations and the faithful who hang

upon the name of the Lord of Spirits.

16 And in those days shall have ascended the prayer of the righteous and the

blood of the righteous from the earth before the Lord of Spirits.

17 In those days the holy ones who dwell above in the heavens shall unite with

one voice and supplicate and pray and praise, give thanks and bless the name of

the Lord of Spirits on behalf of the blood of the righteous which has been shed.

18 And that the prayer of the righteous may not be in vain before the Lord of

Spirits, that judgement may be done unto them and that they may not have to

suffer for ever."

19 In those days I saw the Head of Days when He seated himself upon the throne

of His glory, and the books of the living were opened before Him, and all His

host which is in heaven above and His counselors stood before Him.

20 And the hearts of the holy were filled with joy because the number of the

righteous had been offered, and the prayer of the righteous had been heard, and

the blood of the righteous been required before the Lord of Spirits.

21 And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness, which was

inexhaustible; and around it were many fountains of wisdom. All the thirsty

drank of them and were filled with wisdom and their dwellings were with the

righteous and holy and elect.

22 And at that hour that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of

Spirits, and His name before the Head of Days.

23 Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heaven

were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

24 "He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall

and he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled

of heart.

25 All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him, and will

praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.

26 And for this reason hath He been chosen and hidden before Him, before the

creation of the world and for evermore.

27 And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed Him to the holy and

righteous for He hath preserved the lot of the righteous because they have hated

and despised this world of unrighteousness and have hated all its works and

ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits: For in his name they are saved and

according to His good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.

28 In these days downcast in countenance shall the kings of the earth have

become and the strong who possess the land because of the works of their hands.

For on the day of their anguish and affliction they shall not save themselves and

I will give them over into the hands of Mine Elect.

29 As straw in the fire so shall they burn before the face of the holy: As lead in

the water shall they sink before the face of the righteous and no trace of them

shall any more be found.

30 And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth, and before

them they shall fall and not rise again. There shall be no one to take them with

his hands and raise them for they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His

Anointed One. The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.

3l For wisdom is poured out like water, and glory faileth not before Him for

evermore.

32 For He is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness and unrighteousness shall

disappear as a shadow and have no continuance. Because the Elect One standeth

before the Lord of Spirits and His glory is for ever and ever and His might unto

all generations.

33 And in Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight,

and the spirit of understanding and of might, and the spirit of those who have

fallen asleep in righteousness.

34 And He shall judge the secret things and none shall be able to utter a lying

word before Him for He is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to

His good pleasure.

35 In those days a change shall take place for the Holy and Elect, and the Light

of Days shall abide upon them and glory and honor shall turn to the holy.

36 On the day of affliction on which evil shall have been treasured up against the

sinners. And the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of Spirits

and He will cause the others to witness that they may repent and forgo the works

of their hands.

37 They shall have no honor through the name of the Lord of Spirits yet through

His name shall they be saved, and the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on

them for His compassion is great.

38 And He is righteous also in His judgement and in the presence of His glory

unrighteousness also shall not maintain itself: At His judgement the unrepentant

shall perish before Him.

39 And from henceforth, I will have no mercy on them." saith the Lord of

Spirits.

40 In those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to

it. Sheol also shall give back that which it has received, and hell shall give back

that which it owes.

41 For in those days the Elect One shall arise and He shall choose the righteous

and holy from among them.

42 For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.

43 And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne and His mouth shall

pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel for the Lord of Spirits hath

given to Him and hath glorified Him.

44 In those days shall the mountains leap like rams and the hills also shall skip

like lambs satisfied with milk, and the faces of the angels in heaven shall be

lighted up with joy.

45 And the earth shall rejoice and the righteous shall dwell upon it and the Elect

shall walk thereon.

46 And after those days in that place where I had seen all the visions of that

which is hidden, for I had been carried off in a whirlwind and they had borne me

towards the west.

47 There mine eyes saw all the secret things of heaven that shall be, a mountain

of iron, and a mountain of copper, and a mountain of silver, and a mountain of

gold, and a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead.

48 And I asked the angel who went with me, saying, "What things are these

which I have seen in secret?"

49 And he said unto me: "All these things which thou hast seen shall serve the

dominion of His Anointed that He may be potent and mighty on the earth."

50 And that angel of peace answered, saying unto me: "Wait a little, and there

shall be revealed unto thee all the secret things which surround the Lord of

Spirits.

51 And these mountains which thine eyes have seen, the mountain of iron, and

the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver, and the mountain of gold,

and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead.

52 All these shall be in the presence of the Elect One as wax before the fire, and

like the water which streams down from above and they shall become powerless

before his feet.

53 And it shall come to pass in those days that none shall be saved either by gold

or by silver and none be able to escape.

54 And there shall be no iron for war. Nor shall one clothe oneself with a

breastplate. Bronze shall be of no service, and tin shall not be esteemed, and lead

shall not be desired.

55 And all these things shall be destroyed from the surface of the earth."

56 And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep

valley with burning fire. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began

to cast them into this deep valley.

57 And there mine eyes saw how they made these their instruments, iron chains

of immeasurable weight.

58 And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: "For whom are

these chains being prepared?"

59 And he said unto me: "These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so

that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation,

and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits

commanded."

60 And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them

on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that the

Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in

becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.

61 And in those days shall punishment come from the Lord of Spirits, and He

will open all the chambers of waters which are above the heavens, and of the

fountains which are beneath the earth.

62 And all the waters shall be joined with the waters: that which is above the

heavens is the masculine, and the water which is beneath the earth is the

feminine.

63 And they shall destroy all who dwell on the earth and those who dwell under

the ends of the heaven. And when they have recognized their unrighteousness

which they have wrought on the earth, then by these shall they perish.

64 And after that, the Head of Days repented and said: "In vain have I destroyed

all who dwell on the earth."

65 And He sware by His great name: "Henceforth I will not do so to all who

dwell on the earth and I will set a sign in the heaven and this shall be a pledge of

good faith between Me and them for ever. So long as heaven is above the earth

and this is in accordance with My command.

66 When I have desired to take hold of them by the hand of the angels on the day

of tribulation and pain because of this, I will cause My chastisement and My

wrath to abide upon them." saith God, the Lord of Spirits.

67 Ye mighty kings who dwell on the earth, ye shall have to behold Mine Elect

One. How He sits on the throne of glory and judges Azazel and all his

associates, and all his hosts in the name of the Lord of Spirits.

68 And I saw there the hosts of the angels of punishment going and they held

scourges and chains of iron and bronze.

69 And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: "To whom are

these who hold the scourges going?"

70 And he said unto me: "To their elect and beloved ones, that they may be cast

into the chasm of the abyss of the valley."

71 And then that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved, and the days

of their lives shall be at an end, and the days of their leading astray shall not

thenceforward be reckoned.

72 And in those days the angels shall return and hurl themselves to the east upon

the Parthians and Medes.

73 They shall stir up the kings, so that a spirit of unrest shall come upon them

and they shall rouse them from their thrones that they may break forth as lions

from their lairs and as hungry wolves among their flocks.

74 And they shall go up and tread under foot the land of His elect ones but the

city of the righteous shall be a hindrance to their horses.

75 And they shall begin to fight among themselves and their right hand shall be

strong against themselves.

76 And a man shall not know his brother nor a son his father or his mother till

there be no number of the corpses through their slaughter and their punishment

be not in vain.

77 In those days Sheol shall open its jaws and they shall be swallowed up

therein. Their destruction shall be at an end. Sheol shall devour the sinners in the

presence of the elect."

78 And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of wagons, and men

riding thereon, and coming on the winds from the east, and from the west to the

south.

79 And the noise of their wagons was heard, and when this turmoil took place

the holy ones from heaven remarked it, and the pillars of the earth were moved

from their place, and the sound thereof was heard from the one end of heaven to

the other, in one day.

80 And they shall all fall down and worship the Lord of Spirits. And this is the

end of the second Parable.
