the Watchers and the daughters of men, and all manner of corrup-
tion was wrought through them^ 16^, as they escape punishment till
the final judgement. But the recompense of character is not withheld
till the last judgement; there is a foretaste of the final doom
immediately after death, 22. In the second and last judgement on
Sinai, 1*, the Watchers, the demons, and godless, 10^^ 16^, and all
classes of Israel, with one exception, receive their final award, 1^.
To make this possible, this judgement is preceded by a General
Resurrection of Israel, 22. The fallen angels are transferred from
their preliminary to their final place of punishment, 10^' i3— 15^
A final end is now made of sin on the earth, and the earth cleansed,

ment is a spectacle for the righteous to behold, 27^; the Messianic
kingdom is established, with Jerusalem and Palestine as its centre,
25'—there is no Messiah, and God abides with men, 25^; all the
Gentiles will become righteous and worship God, lO^' ; the righteous
are allowed to eat of the tree of life, 25*~^ and thereby enjoy
patriarchal lives, 5' 25^ each begetting 1,000 children, 1-0", and
enjoying unlimited material blessings, b'' 10^*' ^'' 11^.
As to what becomes of the righteous, after the second death, thero
is no hint in this fragmentary Section. There is much celestial,
terrestrial, and subterrestrial geography in 17-19, 21-36.
