Enoch Sees Heavenly Parable

Open in the reader →

1And I saw other lightnings and the stars of heaven, and I saw how he calls them all by their respective 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.

3And I asked the angel who went with me, who showed me what was hidden, “What are these?”

4And he said to me, “The Lord of Spirits has shown you their names: these are the names of the holy ones who dwell upon the dry ground and believe in the name of the Lord of Spirits forever and ever.”
