68 The Boole <strong>of</strong> Enoch [seot. it<br />

Idngs and <strong>the</strong> miglity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth trust in <strong>the</strong>ir sceptre, and glory,<br />

63^, and oppress <strong>the</strong> elect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> children <strong>of</strong> God, 62^1. But <strong>the</strong><br />

prayer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> righteous ascends, and <strong>the</strong>ir blood goes up before<br />

<strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> Spirits crying for vengeance, 47'; and <strong>the</strong> angels<br />

unite in <strong>the</strong> prayer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> righteous, 47^. But <strong>the</strong> oppression <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> kings and <strong>the</strong> mighty will not continue for ever : suddenly <strong>the</strong><br />

Head <strong>of</strong> Days will appear and with Him <strong>the</strong> Son <strong>of</strong> Man, 46^' ^> *<br />

48^, to execute judgement upon all alike— on <strong>the</strong> righteous and<br />

wicked, on angel and on man. And to this end <strong>the</strong>re will be<br />

a Resurrection <strong>of</strong> all Israel, 51^ 61^; <strong>the</strong> <strong>book</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> living will<br />

be opened, 47^; all judgement will be committed unto <strong>the</strong> Son <strong>of</strong><br />

Man, 41' 69^'; <strong>the</strong> Son <strong>of</strong> Man Avill possess universal dominion,<br />

02'', and sit on <strong>the</strong> throne <strong>of</strong> his glory, G23'<br />

* 69^''' ^^, which is<br />

likewise God's throne, 47^ 5P. He will judge <strong>the</strong> holy angels, 61',<br />

and <strong>the</strong> fallen angels, 55*, <strong>the</strong> righteous upon earth, 62^, and <strong>the</strong><br />

sinners, 62^ ; but particularly those who oppress his saints, <strong>the</strong><br />

kings and <strong>the</strong> mighty and those who possess <strong>the</strong> earth, 48'' ^"' 53^<br />

62^1 ^'. All are judged according to <strong>the</strong>ir deeds, for <strong>the</strong>ir deeds<br />

are weighed in <strong>the</strong> balance, 41^. The fallen angels are cast into<br />

a flery furnace, 54^; <strong>the</strong> kings and <strong>the</strong> mighty confess <strong>the</strong>ir sins,<br />

and pray for forgiveness, but in vain, 63 ; and are given into <strong>the</strong><br />

hands <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> righteous, 38^ ; and <strong>the</strong>ir destruction will furnish<br />

a spectacle to <strong>the</strong> righteous as <strong>the</strong>y burn and vanish for ever out <strong>of</strong><br />

sight, 48'' ^° 62'^; to be tortured in Gehenna by <strong>the</strong> angels <strong>of</strong><br />

punishment, 53^"* 51^' ^. The remaining sinners and godless<br />

will be driven from <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth, 38"^ 41^ 45". The<br />

Son <strong>of</strong> Man will slay <strong>the</strong>m with <strong>the</strong> word <strong>of</strong> his mouth, 62^. Sin<br />

and wrongdoing will be banished from <strong>the</strong> earth, 49^ ; and heaven<br />

and earth will be transformed, 45'*' ^ ; and <strong>the</strong> righteous and elect<br />

will have <strong>the</strong>ir mansions <strong>the</strong>rein, 39'' 41^. And <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Lord <strong>of</strong> Spirits will shine upon <strong>the</strong>m, 38* ; <strong>the</strong>y will live in <strong>the</strong> light<br />

<strong>of</strong> eternal life, 58^. The Elect One will dwell amongst <strong>the</strong>m, 45*;<br />

and <strong>the</strong>y will eat and lie down and rise up with him for ever and<br />

ever, 62'*. They will be clad in garments <strong>of</strong> life, 62^^> i"; and shine<br />

as flery lights, 39''. And <strong>the</strong>y will seek after light and find<br />

righteousness and peace with <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> Spirits, 58* ; and grow<br />

in knowledge and righteousness, 58^.
