After the chosen one had been revealed to him, a whirlwind carried Enoch to the west,
where he saw the secret things of heaven.
He saw a mountain of iron and of copper and of silver, he saw a mountain of gold and of
soft metal and of lead, and he asked the angel who went with him, saying: "What are these?"
And the angel answered: "These things you have seen shall serve the authority of the
messiah, that he may be powerful and mighty on earth.
Wait a little while and all secret things shall be revealed to you, things which surround
the lord of spirits.
These mountains of precious metals which you have seen, they shall melt like wax before
a fire in the presence of the Elected one, like the water which streams down from above,
so shall they be weak under his feet.
And it shall come to pass that none who depend on gold and silver shall be saved.
There shall be no iron for war, no materials for breastplates.
Bronze and tin shall be worthless and lead shall be of no use.
"
Once again, in hebrew and jewish teachings, "the Messiah,"
"the Elected One" or "the Chosen One" are
titles given to and used to describe Jesus Christ, a few out of quite a number of other
titles he is known by.
After he had heard the angel, Enoch saw a deep valley with its mouth open, and all the earth
and the seas and the islands put gifts and all they could bring into it, yet the valley
never became full.
So do the sinners devour without content, everything
the righteous work at.
They shall perish before the Lord of spirits, and banished from his earth.
Enoch looked into the valley and saw all the angels of punishment dwelling there, they
were preparing all the instruments of the Satans, the weapons of the adversaries. and
so Enoch asked: "For whom are they preparing these instruments?"
And the angel answered: "They prepare it for the kings and powerful of the earth, so that
they may destroy themselves with it, so that they may be destroyed by it.
After this, the elected one will appear with his congregation in the name of the lord of
spirits, and the righteous shall be free from the operation of sinners."
When he had heard this, Enoch turned to another part of the earth and saw another deep valley,
but this one was filled with burning fire, and he saw as the kings and powerful of the
earth were brought and cast into the burning valley.
Looking more closely into the valley he saw great iron chains of immeasurable weight,
and so asked the angel, saying: "Who are these chains prepared for?"
And the angel answered: "These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may
be thrown into the bottom of the pit of hell, and be covered with rough stones as the lord
of spirits commanded.
On that day, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel shall take hold of them and throw
them into the burning furnace, that the lord of spirits may take vengeance upon them for
their unrighteousness, and for leading astray those who live on earth."
Phanuel is another name for the angel Uriel, and after the angel had spoken, the passage
goes on to briefly narrate the event of the great flood which happened in the days of
Noah, after Enoch had ascended into the heavens.
In the time of Noah, the lord of spirits opened all the storehouses of the waters above heaven
and the fountains under the surface of the earth, joining the waters of the heavens with
the water beneath the earth, the water above the sky being masculinine, and the waters
beneath the earth being feminine.
With their joint ferocity, the waters destroyed all who lived on dry land and everything under
the ends of heaven.
After all had been destroyed, the lord of spirits repented from his actions and swore
by his great name, saying: "I have destroyed all who dwell on earth to no avail.
Never shall I do this again to them.
I will set a sign in the heavens, and it shall be a covenant between me and them, so long
as the heaven is above the earth."
And so it was done, the lord of spirits set a rainbow in the skies as a sign of his covenant
and promise to never again destroy the earth and the generations of Noah by the flood.
Speaking to those who displease him, the lord of spirits said: "My angels shall take hold
of them on the day of tribulation and I shall unleash my punishment and wrath upon them.
You mighty kings of the earth, you shall watch my elected one sit on the throne of glory
and judge Azazel and all his associates and all his hosts in my name."
With this, Enoch saw as the angels of punishment went, holding scorges and chains of iron and
bronze, and he asked the angel, saying: "Where are they going to?
Who are they going to scourge?"
And the angel answered: "Each angel is going to the one they have chosen and to their loved
ones, that they may all be cast into the abyss in the valley.
The valley shall be filled with those they chose as well as their loved ones, their lives
shall be at an end, and their days shall no longer be counted.
The angels shall march to the east of the Parthians and Medes, and they shall stir up
the kings, so that they may rush out like lions from their dens and like wolves from
their pack.
A restless spirit shall descend upon them and they shall go up and trample all lands,
but they shall not touch the city of the righteous ones.
They shall turn against themselves and by their own hands shall they fall.
Man shall not know his brother, nor son, his father or mother, until there are innumerable
corpses, until they have slaughtered themselves.
Then the pit of hell shall open its jaws and swallow them up, and their destruction shall
be final.
Hell shall devour the sinners in the presence of the righteous.
And all shall fall down and worship the lord of spirits. "
