Open in the reader →

1And in those days Uriel the angel answered me and said to me, “Behold, I have shown you everything, Enoch, and I have revealed everything to you, that you may look upon this sun and this moon and those who lead the stars of heaven, and all those who turn them—their works and their times and their risings.”

2And in the days of the sinners the years shall be shortened, and their seed shall be late upon their land and in their fields; and all the works that are on the earth shall change and shall not appear in their times, and the rain shall be withheld, and heaven shall hold back.

3And in those times the fruit of the earth will be delayed, and it will not sprout in its season; and the fruit of the trees will be withheld in its season.

4And the moon will alter its order, and it will not appear in its season.
