Hi Everyone,
...............................The "Book of Enoch" is in mentioned in the bible in Jude 1:14;
...............................though it is not canon, there is much information in this read.
.....................................................................CHAPTER 1 ... 1. The words of the blessing of Enoch where-with he blessed the chosen and just, who will exist on the day of tribulation
when all the wicked and impious shall bere moved. 2. And answered and spoke Enoch, a just man, whose eyes were opened
by God so that he saw a holy vision in the heavens, which the angels showed to me, and from them I heard everything, and
I knew what I saw, but not for this generation, but for the far-off generations which are to come. 3. Concerning the chosen
I spoke and conversed concerning them with the Holy and Great One, who will come from his abode, the God of the world.
4. And from there he will step on to Mount Sinai, and appear with his hosts, and appear in the strength of his power from heaven.
5. And all will fear, and the watchers will tremble, and great fear and terror will seize them to the ends of the earth.
6. And the exalted mountains will be shaken, and the high hills will be lowered, and will melt like wax before the flame.
7. And the earth will be submerged, and everything that is on the earth will be destroyed, and there will be a judgment
upon every thing, and upon all the just. 8. But to the just he will give peace, and will protect the chosen, and mercy will
abide over them, and they will all be God’s, and will be prosperous and blessed, and the light of God will shine for them.
9. And behold, he comes with myriads of the holy to pass judgment upon them, and will destroy the impious, and will
call to account all flesh for everything the sinners and the impious have done and committed against him.
.....................................................................CHAPTER 2 ...1. I observed everything that took place in the heavens, how the luminaries, which are in the heavens,
do not depart from their paths, that each one rises and sets in order, each in its time, and they do not depart from their laws.
2. See the earth and observe the things that are done on it, from the first to the last, how no work of God is irregular in appearing.
3. See the summer and the winter, how the whole earth is full of water, and clouds and dew and rain rest over it.
.....................................................................CHAPTER 3...1. I observed and saw how all the trees appeared as if withered, and all their leaves are shaken off,
except fourteen trees, whose leaves are not shaken off, which abide with the old from two to three years, till the new come.
.....................................................................CHAPTER 4...1. And again I observed the days of summer, how the sun is above it [i.e.the earth], opposite to it, but ye seek cool and shady places on
account of the heat of the sun, and the earth also burns with fervent heat, but ye cannot step on the earth or on a rock because of their heat.
