The second parable of Enoch concerns those who deny the name of the holy ones and the
lord of spirits.
It tells that they shall not ascend into heaven, and they shall not dwell on earth anymore.
Such shall be the fate of those who deny the name of the lord of spirits, they shall be
preserved for the day of suffering and tribulation.
On that day, the elected shall sit on the throne of glory and try the works of the righteous,
and their souls shall grow strong when they see him.
The elected one shall dwell among them and the earth shall be transformed into a blessing.
But the sinners and evil shall not step on this new earth.
The righteous shall be satisfied with peace and they shall dwell before the lord of spirit.
But for the sinners, there is impending judgement, so that the lord shall destroy them from the
face of the earth.
Enoch saw the ancient one whose hair was as white as wool, and with him was another being
who had the form of a man, but with a face so glorious that he looked like one of the
holy angels.
And so he asked the angel who was with him, saying: "Who is that being who always goes
with the Ancient one?
Where did he come from?"
And the angel answered: "This is the Son of Man with whom dwells righteousness and all
things holy.
It is he who reveals all treasures of that which is hidden.
He is the elected one, the chosen one of the lord of spirits.
This son of man whom you have seen shall raise the kings and the mighty and the strong from
their thrones, he shall loosen the reins of the strong and break the teeth of the sinners.He
shall put down the kings from their thrones and their kingdoms, because they do not exalt
and praise him, nor do they acknowledge who bestowed the kingdom onto them.
He shall make the strong hang their heads and shall put them to shame.
Darkness shall be their dwelling place and worms shall be their beds, and they shall
have no hopes of rising from their beds, because they do not exalt the name of the lord of
spirits.
They raise their hands against the most high, and manifest unrighteousness in all their
deeds.
Their power rests on their riches, and their faith in gods they have made with their hands.
They deny the name of the lord of spirits and persecute those who depend on him.
" In those days the prayer and the blood of
the righteous shall be before the lord, and the holy ones shall pray on behalf of the
blood of the righteous which has been shed, that they may not go in vain, that they may
have justice".
When he had heard all the angel said, Enoch looked around and saw many springs of wisdom,
from which those who were thirsty drank and were all made wise.
Then the Son of Man appeared and was named before the lord of spirits.
Before the sun and the signs were created, he was, and before the stars of heaven were
made, he had been named by the lord of spirits.
He is a staff to the righteous that they may not stumble and fall, and he is the light
to the Gentiles, that they have hope.
And they shall bow down and worship him and celebrate the lord of spirits.
It is for this reason he has been chosen by the lord of spirits and hidden by him, before
the creation of the word.
But he has been revealed to the holy and righteous, for it is through him that they shall preserved,
they who hate unrighteousness and all its works, in his name they shall be saved.
In those days, the kings of the earth and the strong who possess the earth shall be
shamed, for on the day of their anguish, they shall not be able to save themselves.
As straw in the fire, so shall they burn before the face of the holy, and like lead in water,
so shall they sink before the face of the righteous, and no trace of them shall be found
anymore.
On the day of their affliction, there shall be peace on the earth, they shall be destroyed
and shall not rise again, for they have denied the lord of spirits and his anointed one.
Unrighteousness will no longer exist, because the elected one stands beside the lord of
spirits.
In him dwells the spirit of wisdom, insight, understanding and might, and he shall judge
all secret things.
But should they turn away from their evil ways, then they shall be saved in his name,
for at his judgement, the unrepentant shall perish before him.
In those days the earth shall give back that which has been entrusted to it, the grave
shall give back that which it has received, and hell shall give back that which it owes,
for in the last days the dead shall all arise, and the anointed one shall choose the righteous
and holy among them, for the day they should be saved has come.
And the earth shall rejoice for the righteous shall dwell and walk on it.
