1 Enoch 43
Enoch Sees Heavenly Parable
Open in the reader →1I saw other flashes of lightning and the stars of heaven. I saw how he calls them all by their names, and they hear him.
2And I saw the balances of righteousness, how they are weighed according to their lights, the width of their places, and the day of their appearing; and their revolution brings forth lightning, and their revolution is according to the number of the angels, and they keep faith with one another.
3I asked the angel who travelled with me and showed me what is hidden, “What are these?”
4He told me, “The Lord of Spirits has shown you a likeness concerning them. These are the names of the holy ones who dwell upon dry land and believe in his name forever and ever.”
