1 Enoch 51

Chosen One Reveals Hidden Wisdom

Open in the reader →

1In those days the earth will give back what was entrusted to it, and Sheol will give back what it was given, and Destruction will give back what it owes.

2He will choose the righteous and holy from among them, for the day has drawn near for them to be saved.

3In those days the Chosen One will sit on his throne, and he will bring forth all thoughts of wisdom from the thought of his mouth, because the Lord of Spirits has given it to him and glorified him.

4In those days the mountains will dance like vines, and the hills will leap like calves full of milk. All the angels in heaven will have faces shining with joy.

5For in those days the Chosen One has arisen, and the earth will rejoice. The righteous will dwell upon it, and the chosen will walk upon it [and rejoice].
