The Deliverance of the Shining Ones
I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the end of everything, and no man will see as I have seen. In those days, there will be a change for the holy and the righteous ones and the light of days shall rest upon them; and glory and honor shall be given back to the holy ones, on the day of weariness. The righteous ones shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of the Spirits. He will cause the others to see this so that they may repent and forsake the deeds of their hands.
And for the wicked, on the day of their trouble and on the day of their weariness there will be no one to take them with his hands and lift them up because they have denied the Lord of the Spirits and His Messiah.
In those days, the grave will return all the deposits which she had received and hell will give back all that which it owes. And He will choose the righteous and the holy ones from among the risen dead, for the day when they shall be selected and saved has arrived. In those days, the Elect One will sit on the throne, and from the justice of His mouth shall come out all the secrets of wisdom, for the Lord of the Spirits has given them to Him and glorified Him. In those days, mountains shall dance like rams; and the hills shall leap like kids satisfied with milk. And the faces of all the angels in heaven shall glow with joy because on that day the Elect One has arisen. And the earth shall rejoice, and the righteous ones shall dwell upon her and the Elect One shall walk upon her.
On this day Mine Elect One will sit on the throne of glory and shall reveal the works of the people. And this when the Righteous One shall appear before the eyes of the righteous. They will recognize Him.
When the secrets of the righteous will be revealed and the sinners judged, and the godless driven from the presence of the righteous and elect, from that time those that possess the earth shall no longer be powerful and exalted but shamed through contempt. And they shall not be able to behold the face of the holy, for the Lord of Spirits has caused His light to appear on the face of the holy, righteous, and elect. Then shall the kings and the mighty perish and be given into the hands of the righteous and holy. And from then on none shall seek mercy for themselves from the Lord of Spirits for their life is at an end.
The Elect One sits on the 'throne of glory' beside Yahweh, and 'his dwelling place is under the wings of the Lord of the Spirit.' The Elect One has the appearance of a man, and His face is full of graciousness. He is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness, 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. And He shall judge the secret things, and none shall be able to utter a lying word before him. He reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden.
The Lord commanded the kings, Open your eyes and lift up your horns if you are able to recognize the Elect One. And the Lord of Spirits seated Him on the throne of His glory, and the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon Him, and the word of His mouth slays all the sinners, and all the unrighteous are destroyed from before His face. And there shall stand up in that day all the kings and the mighty, and the exalted and those who hold the earth, and they shall see and recognize how He sits on the throne of His glory, and righteousness is judged before him, and no lying word is spoken before Him.
And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth shall fall down before him on their faces, and worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man, and petition him and supplicate for mercy at his hands. Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them that they shall hastily go forth from His presence, and their faces shall be filled with shame, and the darkness grows deeper on their faces. And He will deliver them to the angels for punishment, to execute vengeance on them because they have oppressed His children and His elect.
And they shall be a spectacle for the righteous and for His elect: They shall rejoice over them, because the wrath of the Lord of Spirits rests upon them, and His sword is drunk with their blood. And the righteous and elect shall be saved on that day, and they shall never in the future see the face of the sinners and unrighteous. And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them, and with that Son of Man shall they eat and lie down and rise up forever and ever. And the righteous and elect shall have risen from the earth and ceased to be of downcast countenance. And they shall have been clothed with garments of glory. And these shall be the garments of life from the Lord of Spirits: And your garments shall not grow old, nor your glory pass away before the Lord of Spirits.
Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling. And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, even on Mount Sinai, and will appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.
And all shall be smitten with fear and the fallen angels shall quake, and great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. And the high mountains shall be shaken and the high hills shall be made low, and shall melt like wax before the flame.
And the earth shall be wholly torn apart and all that is upon the earth shall perish, and there shall be a judgment upon all. But with the righteous, He will make peace and will protect the elect, and mercy shall be upon them.
And He will help them all, and light shall appear unto them, and He will make peace with them. And just imagine it! He comes with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
But the rebels have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord, but they have turned away and spoken proud and hard words with their impure mouths against His greatness. Oh, you hard−hearted, you shall find no peace. Therefore shall you hate your days, and the years of your life shall perish, and the years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal abomination, and you shall find no mercy.
And all the righteous shall rejoice, and there shall be forgiveness of sins, and every mercy and peace and forbearance. There shall be salvation unto them, a goodly light. And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation but on you all shall abide the mark of the beast.
And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom, and they shall all live and never again sin either through ungodliness or through pride: But they who are wise shall be humble. And they shall not again transgress, nor shall they sin all the days of their life, nor shall they die of anger or wrath. And their lives shall be increased in peace, and the years of their joy shall be multiplied in eternal gladness and peace all the days of their life.
How Demons Came to Be
In the days when people multiplied on the earth, evil angels came down and went into the women. And they became pregnant, and they bore powerful and angry children, who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when the people could no longer sustain them, these giants of evil behavior turned against them and devoured mankind in violence, wars, and trouble.
And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid an accusation against the lawless ones. And the fallen angel Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly jewelry, and all coloring tinctures for the face.
And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven from the blood spilled upon the earth. And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.
And they said one to another, The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their crying up to the gates of heaven. And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their charges, saying, Bring our cause before the Most High. Pray to God to avenge us.
And they said to the Lord of eternity, Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, and God of the ages, the throne of Your glory stands unto all the generations of the ages, and Your name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! You have made all things, and power over all things have You, and all things are naked and open in Your sight, and You see all things, and nothing can hide itself from You.
You see what Azazel has done, who has taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were in heaven, which men were striving to learn; to whom You have given authority to bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the daughters of men who were in the world, and have gone into the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne violent children, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.
And again the Lord said to Raphael, "Bind Azazel hand and foot and cast him into the darkness; and let him abide there forever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgment, he shall be cast into the fire.
And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the fallen angels and demons have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel, to him blame all sin."
Say to them: ‘You have wrought great destruction on the earth and you shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin. And inasmuch as they delight themselves in their children the murder of their beloved ones shall they see, and over the destruction of their children shall they lament, and shall make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall you not attain.
And Enoch went and said: Azazel, you shalt have no peace, a severe sentence has gone forth against you to put you in bonds and you shalt not have toleration nor request granted to you, because of the unrighteousness which you have taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which you have shown to people.
As God has created and given to man the power of understanding the word of wisdom, so has He created me also and given me the power of reprimanding the demons, fallen from heaven. I wrote out your request for forgiveness, and in my vision it appeared thus, that your petition will not be granted unto you throughout all the days of eternity, and that judgment has been finally passed upon you.
And previously you shall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and ye shall have no pleasure in them, but they shall fall before you by violent acts. I wrote out your request for forgiveness, and neither will your petition on their behalf be granted, nor yet on your own even though you weep and pray and speak all the words contained in the writing which I have written.
Entering the Two Houses
And the vision was shown to me thus: Behold, in the vision clouds invited me and a mist summoned me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped and hastened me, and the winds in the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward, and bore me into heaven.
And I went in till I drew nigh to a wall which is built of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire: and it began to make me afraid. And I went into the tongues of fire and drew nigh to a large house which was built of crystals and the walls of the house were like a tessellated floor made of crystals, and its groundwork was of crystal.
Its ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightnings, and between them were fiery cherubim, and their heaven was water. A flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its portals blazed with fire. And I entered into that house, and it was hot as fire and cold as ice. There were no delights of life therein; fear covered me, and trembling got hold of me. (This was the house of the law.)
And as I quaked and trembled, I fell upon my face and I beheld a vision, and lo! there was a second house, greater than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire. And in every respect it so excelled in splendor and magnificence and extent that I cannot describe to you its splendor and its extent.
And its floor was of fire, and above it were lightnings and the path of the stars, and its ceiling also was flaming fire. And I looked and saw therein a lofty throne, its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shining sun, and there was the vision of cherubim. And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that I could not look on it. And the Great Glory sat on it, and His raiment shone more brightly than the sun and was whiter than any snow. (This was the house of the Anointing).
None of the angels could enter and could behold His face by reason of the magnificence and glory and no flesh could behold Him. The flaming fire was round about Him, and a great fire stood before Him, and none around could draw nigh Him; ten thousand times ten thousand were before Him, yet He needed no counselor.
And the most holy ones who were nigh to Him did not leave by night nor depart from Him. And until then I had been prostrate on my face, trembling and the Lord called me with His own mouth, and said to me: "Come hither, Enoch, and hear my word."
And one of the holy ones came to me and waked me, and He made me rise up and approach the door, and I bowed my face downwards. And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: Fear not, Enoch, you righteous man, and scribe of righteousness. Approach here and hear my voice.
And go, say to the fallen angels of heaven, who have sent thee to intercede for them: 'You should intercede for men, and not men for you. Wherefore you have left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and gone into women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves marriages with them, and done like the children of earth, and begotten monsters as your children.
And though you were holy in the beginning, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those also do who die and perish.
But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. (Those worthy of this world do not marry women.)
And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the fallen angels; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be named.
And the spirits of those creatures afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, cause battle and war, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble. They take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offenses. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women because they have proceeded from them.
From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the demons, from the souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgment, thus shall they destroy until the day of the annihilation, the great judgment in which the age shall be annihilated, over the demons and the godless, yes, shall be wholly consummated and annihilated.
And Uriel said to me: Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods. Here shall they stand, till the day of the great judgment in which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become seducers.
The Dead Whose Blood Appeals to God For Justice
I saw a dead man making charges, and his voice went forth to heaven and made charges. And I asked Raphael the angel who was with me, and I said unto him: "This spirit which makes charges complaining to heaven, whose is it, whose voice goeth forth and makes suit to heaven?"
And He answered me saying: "This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men."
And in that place mine eyes saw the Elect One of righteousness and of faith, and I saw his dwelling−place under the wings of the Lord of Spirits. And righteousness shall prevail in his days, and the righteous and elect shall be without number before Him forever and ever. And all the righteous and elect before Him shall be strong as fiery lights, and their mouth shall be full of blessing, and their lips extol the name of the Lord of Spirits, and righteousness before Him shall never fail.
The Son of Man
There I wished to dwell, and my spirit longed for that dwelling place, and there heretofore hath been my portion. For so has it been established concerning me before the Lord of Spirits. And there I saw One who had a head of eternal 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. 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.
And He answered and said unto me: This is the Son of Man who hath righteousness with whom dwells righteousness, and who reveals all the treasures of that which is hidden by His wisdom. Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen Him, and whose lot has preeminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness forever.
And this Son of Man whom you have 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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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. And He is righteous also in His judgment and in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall not maintain itself. At His judgment, the unrepentant shall perish before Him. And from henceforth, I will have no mercy on them." saith the Lord of Spirits.
In those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it. The grave also shall give back that which it has received, and hell shall give back that which it owes. For in those days, the Elect One shall arise and He shall choose the righteous and holy from among them. For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.
And the Elect One shall in those days sit on His 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.
The Chains for Azazel
And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: For whom are these chains being prepared? 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.
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.
You mighty kings who dwell on the earth, you shall have to behold My 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.
The Battle of Armageddon
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.
And they shall begin to fight among themselves and their right hand shall be strong against themselves. 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. 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.
And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of vehicles, and men riding thereon, and coming on the winds from the east, and from the west to the south. And the noise of their vehicles was heard, and when this turmoil took place the holy ones from heaven spoke of 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.
And He caused me to see the judgments executed on the earth, whether they be for well−being and blessing, or for a curse according to the word of the Lord of Spirits. And after that, all the secrets of the lights and lightnings were shown to me, and they lighten for blessing and for satisfying.
In a parable I saw how a mighty quaking made the heaven of heavens to quake, and the host of the Most High, and the angels, a thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand were disquieted with a great disquiet. And the Head of Days sat on the throne of His glory, and the angels and the righteous stood around Him.
And a great trembling seized me, and fear took hold of me, and my loins gave way, and dissolved was my self-control, and I fell upon my face. And Michael sent another angel from among the holy ones and He raised me up, and when he had raised me up my spirit returned; for I had not been able to endure the look of this host, and the commotion and the quaking of the heaven.
And when the day, and the power, and the punishment, and the judgment come, which the Lord of Spirits has prepared for those who worship not the righteous law, and for those who deny the righteous judgment, and for those who take His name in vain, that day is prepared, for the elect a covenant, but for sinners an inquisition. Afterward, the judgment shall take place according to His mercy and His patience.
The Cords Given for The Righteous to Stay Themselves
And I asked the angel, saying unto him: "Why have those angels taken these cords and gone off?” And he said unto me: "They have gone to measure.” And the angel who went with me said unto me: "These shall bring the measures of the righteous and the ropes of the righteous to the righteous. That they may stay themselves on the name of the Lord of Spirits forever and ever.
The elect shall begin to dwell with the elect (in companies), and those are the measures which shall be given to faith and which shall strengthen righteousness. And these measures shall reveal all the secrets of the depths of the earth. And those who have been destroyed by the desert, and those who have been devoured by the beasts, and those who have been devoured by the fish of the sea. That they may return and stay themselves on the day of the Elect One; for none shall be destroyed before the Lord of Spirits, and none can be destroyed.
And all who dwell above in the heaven received a command and power and one voice and one light like unto fire. And the Lord of Spirits placed the Elect One on the throne of glory. And He shall judge all the works of the holy above in the heaven, and in the balance shall their deeds be weighed. And thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: "Open your eyes and lift up your horns if ye are able to recognize the Elect One."
And the Lord of Spirits seated him on the throne of His glory and the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon Him. And the word of his mouth slays all the sinners, and all the unrighteous are destroyed from before his face.
The Righteous Judge
And there shall stand up in that day all the kings and the mighty, and the exalted and those who hold the earth, and they shall see and recognize how He sits on the throne of His glory. And righteousness is judged before him and no lying word is spoken before him. Then shall pain come upon them as on a woman in travail when her child enters the mouth of the womb and she has pain in bringing forth.
And one portion of them shall look on the other and they shall be terrified, and they shall be downcast of countenance, and pain shall seize them when they see that Son of Man sitting on the throne of his glory. And the kings and the mighty and all who possess the earth shall bless and glorify and extol him who rules over all, who was hidden. For from the beginning, the Son of Man was hidden and the Most High preserved Him in the presence of His might and revealed Him to the elect.
And the congregation of the elect and holy shall be sown and all the elect shall stand before him on that day. And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth shall fall down before Him on their faces and worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man, and petition him and supplicate for mercy at his hands.
Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them that they shall hastily go forth from His presence, and their faces shall be filled with shame, and the darkness grow deeper on their faces. And He will deliver them to the angels for punishment to execute vengeance on them because they have oppressed His children and His elect.
And the righteous and elect shall be saved on that day, and they shall never in the future see the face of the sinners and unrighteous. And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them, and with that Son of Man shall they eat and lie down and rise up forever and ever.
And the righteous and elect shall have risen from the earth and ceased to be of downcast countenance. And they shall have been clothed with garments of glory and these shall be the garments of life from the Lord of Spirits: And your garments shall not grow old. Nor your glory pass away before the Lord of Spirits.
In those days shall the mighty and the kings who possess the earth implore to grant them a little respite from His angels of punishment to whom they were delivered, that they might fall down and worship before the Lord of Spirits and confess their sins before Him.
And after that, their faces shall be filled with darkness and shame before that Son of Man, and they shall be driven from his presence, and the sword shall abide before his face in their midst.
And other forms I saw hidden in that place. I heard the voice of the angel saying: "These are the angels who descended to the earth, and revealed what was hidden to the children of men and seduced the children of men into committing sin."
Yes, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a burning of their bodies and becomes severe a corresponding change shall take place in their spirit forever and ever; for before the Lord of Spirits none shall utter an idle word. For the judgment shall come upon them because they believe in the desires of their flesh and deny the Spirit of the Lord.
And I heard Michael answering and saying: "This judgment wherewith the angels are judged is a testimony for the kings and the mighty who possess the earth. Because these waters of judgment minister to the healing of the body of the kings and the desires of their flesh; therefore they will not see and will not believe that those waters will change and become a fire which burns forever."
And on that day Michael answered Raphael and said: "The power of the spirit transports and makes me tremble because of the severity of the judgment of the secrets, the judgment of the angels: who can endure the severe judgment which has been executed, and before which they melt away?” And Michael answered again, and said to Raphael: "Who is he whose heart is not softened and humbled concerning it, and whose reins are not troubled by this word of judgment that has gone forth upon them because of those who have thus led them out?"
And it came to pass when He stood before the Lord of Spirits, Michael said thus to Raphael: "I will not take their part under the eye of the Lord; for the Lord of Spirits has been angry with them because they play God and do as if they were the Lord Himself."
And it came to pass after this that Enoch during his lifetime was raised aloft to that Son of Man and to the Lord of Spirits from amongst those who dwell on the earth. And he was raised aloft on the chariots of the spirit and his name vanished among them.
And there I saw the first fathers and the righteous who from the beginning dwell in that place. And it came to pass after this that my spirit was translated and it ascended into the heavens I saw the holy sons of God. They were stepping on flames of fire: Their garments were white and their faces shone like snow.
And the angel Michael translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens and I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals and between those crystals tongues of living fire. And my spirit saw the girdle which girt that house of fire and on its four sides were streams full of living fire, and they girt that house.
And round about were Seraphin, Cherubic, and Ophannin: And these are they who sleep not and guard the throne of His glory. And I saw angels who could not be counted. A thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand encircling that house.
And Michael, and Raphael, and Gabriel, and Phanuel, and the holy angels who are above the heavens go in and out of that house. And they came forth from that house, and Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, and Phanuel, and many holy angels without number.
And with them the Head of Eternal Days, His head white and pure as wool, and His raiment indescribable. And I fell on my face and my whole body became relaxed, and my spirit was transfigured, and I cried with a loud voice with the spirit of power and blessed and glorified and extolled.
And He came to me and greeted me with His voice, and said unto me: "This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness, and righteousness abides over Him, and the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes Him not."
And He said unto me: "He proclaims unto you peace in the name of the world to come; for from hence has proceeded peace since the creation of the world, and so shall it be unto thee forever and forever and ever."
And all shall walk in his ways since righteousness never forsakes Him. With Him will be their dwelling places, and with Him their heritage, and they shall not be separated from Him forever and ever and ever. And so there shall be length of days with that Son of Man and the righteous shall have peace and an upright way in the name of the Lord of Spirits forever and ever.
And after that, I said: "Blessed is the man who dies in righteousness and goodness concerning whom there is no book of unrighteousness written, and against whom no day of judgment shall be found."
And those who practice righteousness shall die on account of the deeds of men and be taken away on account of the doings of the godless. For I know that violence must increase on the earth, and a great chastisement be executed on the earth, And all unrighteousness come to an end: Yea, it shall be cut off from its roots, And its whole structure be destroyed.
And unrighteousness shall again be annihilated on the earth, And all the deeds of unrighteousness and of violence, and transgression shall prevail in a twofold degree. And when sin and unrighteousness and blasphemy, and violence in all kinds of deeds increase, and apostasy and transgression and uncleanness increase, a great chastisement shall come from heaven upon all these, and the holy Lord will come forth with wrath and chastisement, to execute judgment on the earth.
In those days violence shall be cut off from its roots, and the roots of unrighteousness together with deceit, and they shall be destroyed from under heaven. And all the idols of the heathen shall be abandoned, and the temples burned with fire, and they shall remove them from the whole earth, and they shall be cast into the judgment of fire, and shall perish in wrath and in grievous judgment forever.
And the righteous shall arise from their sleep, and wisdom shall arise and be given unto them. And after that, the roots of unrighteousness shall be cut off, and the sinners shall be destroyed by the sword and the blasphemers destroyed in every place, and those who plan violence and those who commit blasphemy shall perish by violent means.
Woe to you, you sinners, on account of the words of your mouth, and on account of the deeds of your hands which your godlessness as wrought; In blazing flames burning worse than fire shall ye burn.
And He hath assigned them their recompense, because they have been found to be such as loved heaven more than their life in the world, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, yet they blessed Me.
And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not recompensed with such honor as their faithfulness deserved.
And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My holy name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honor. And they shall be resplendent for times without number; for righteousness is the judgment of God; for the faithful He will give faithfulness in the habitation of upright paths. And they shall see those who were, born in darkness led into darkness, while the righteous shall be resplendent.
Be hopeful; for some time before you were put to shame through ill and affliction; but now you shall shine as the lights of heaven, you shall shine and ye shall be seen, and the portals of heaven shall be opened to you. And in your cry, cry for judgment, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you.
Be hopeful, and cast not away your hopes for you will have great joy as the angels of heaven. Michael
