Enoch Receives Hidden Things Revealed

Open in the reader →

1And after this my grandfather Hēnok gave me the sign of all the hidden things in a book, and the parables that had been given to him; and they shall recount them to me in the account of the book of the Parable.

2And on that day Michael answered, saying to Raphael, “The power of the spirit seizes me and provokes me to anger because of the severity of the judgment concerning the hidden secrets. Who is there that can endure the severe judgment that has been executed, and before which they melt away?”

3And Mikael answered again and said to Rufael, "Who is he whose heart is not softened concerning it, and whose kidneys are not troubled by this word of severity and the sentence that has gone out against them because of those who brought them out thus?"

4And it came to pass, when he stood before the Lord of Spirits, that Michael said this to Raphael: “He will not be for them before the eye of the Lord, for the Lord of Spirits is angry with them, because they act as if they were the Lord.”

5Because of this, everything hidden forever shall come upon them.
