Posted by Darshana Sanrakshak Shambhala on January 15, 2011 at 6:09pm in Bible Secrets
1 There was a wise man, a great artificer, and the Lord conceived love for
him and received him, that he should behold the uppermost dwellings and be an
eye−witness of the wise and great and inconceivable and immutable realm of God
Almighty, of the very wonderful and glorious and bright and many−eyed station
ofthe Lord’s servants, and of the inaccessible throne of the Lord, and of the
degrees and manifestations of theincorporeal hosts, and of the ineffable
ministration of the multitude of the elements, and of the variousapparition and
inexpressible singing of the host of Cherubim, and of the boundless
light.
2 At that time, he said, when my one hundred and sixty−fifth year
was completed, I begat my son Mathusal.
3 After this too I lived two
hundred years and completed of all the years of my life three hundred and
sixty−five years.
4 On the first day of the month I was in my house alone
and was resting on my bed and slept.
5 And when I was asleep, great
distress came up into my heart, and I was weeping with my eyes in sleep, and I
could not understand what this distress was, or what would happen to
me.
6 And there appeared to me two men, exceeding big, so that I never
saw such on earth; their faces were shining like the sun, their eyes too were
like a burning light, and from their lips was fire coming forth with clothing
and singing of various kinds in appearance purple, their wings were brighter
than gold, their hands whiter than snow.
7 They were standing at the head
of my bed and began to call me by my name.
8 And I arose from my sleep
and saw clearly those two men standing in front of me.
9 And I saluted
them and was seized with fear and the appearance of my face was changed from
terror, and those men said to me:
10 Have courage, Enoch, do not fear;
the eternal God sent us to you, and lo! You shalt to−day ascend with us into
heaven, and you shall tell your sons and all your household all that they shall
do without you on earth in your house, and let no one seek you till the Lord
return you to them.
11 And I made haste to obey them and went out from my
house, and made to the doors, as it was ordered me, and summoned my sons
Mathusal and Regim and Gaidad and made known to them all the marvels those men
had told me.
