Book of Enoch 1:1-8
Open in the reader →1The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said—Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, 2which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come. 3Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, 4And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, even on Mount Sinai, And appear from His camp And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. 5And all shall be smitten with fear, And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame. 7And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all men. 8But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall all be blessed. And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them, And He will make peace with them.
Jude 1:14-15
Open in the reader →14And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

The Book of Enoch, preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and rediscovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls, opens with a prophetic blessing meant for the final generation. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, describes cosmic visions and secrets revealed by the holy angels. Enoch's revelation invites us to lift the eyes of the mind and understand that human history is watched by the heavens.
