Adam to the end of time, including the Messiah ben David and
his age, and the wars of Gog and Magog (1 En. 56^-572), and
other events of the Messianic era. In the last chap., 48, he
shows Ishmael the glorious future Jerusalem (1 En. 89^'), where
the souls of the righteous stand praying for its advent upon
earth (1 En. 97^. ^ ggs, le io43).
The date o£ this work cannot be later than the time of the
completion of the Babylonian Talmud. An apocalyptic frag-
ment (dealt with in Jewish Enci/c. i. 678, 679), apparently
written under the immediate impression of the Hadrianic per-
secution, seems to supply the hnk which connects 2 Enoch with
this Neo-Hebrew Book of Enoch, which itself must be dated
earlier than Talmud Berachoth 7 a which quotes from it.^
