1 Enoch 52

1After those days, in that place where I had seen all the hidden visions, I was swept away in a whirlwind, and it carried me west.

2There my eyes saw all the hidden things of heaven that are there: a mountain of iron, a mountain of copper, a mountain of silver, a mountain of gold, a mountain of easily melted metal, and a mountain of lead.

3I asked the angel who was walking with me, “What are all these things that I have seen in secret?”

4He said to me, “All these things that you have seen will serve the authority of the Anointed One, so that he may command and exercise power on the earth.”

5That angel of peace answered me, “Wait a little, and everything hidden that the Lord of Spirits has surrounded will be revealed to you.”

6These mountains that your eyes have seen—the mountain of iron, the mountain of copper, the mountain of silver, the mountain of gold, the mountain of easily melted metal and the mountain of lead—all of them will be before the Chosen One like beeswax before fire and like water flowing down onto those mountains from above. They will become powerless before his feet.

7In those days they will not be saved by gold or silver, and they will not be able to escape.

8And iron shall not be for war.

9All these things will be denied and destroyed from the face of the earth when the Chosen One appears before the Lord of Spirits.
