New Testament 1 Enoch<br />

1^ 'The sea gave up <strong>the</strong> dead 5P '<br />

ia those days shall <strong>the</strong> earth<br />

which were in it, and death also give back that which has<br />

and Hades gave up <strong>the</strong> dead been entrusted to it, and Sheol<br />

which were in <strong>the</strong>m '-<br />

also shall give back that which<br />

it has received, and hell shall<br />

give back that which it owes '.<br />

Cf. 61«.<br />

2011-16. The last judgement is held after <strong>the</strong> temporary Messianic kingdom<br />

(20^> "), just as in 1 En. 91-104. There is, however, no resurrection in <strong>the</strong><br />

temporary Messianic kingdom <strong>of</strong> 1 Enoch as <strong>the</strong>re is in Revelation.<br />

1' ' Cast into <strong>the</strong> lake <strong>of</strong> fire '. 90^° ' Cast into this fiery abyss '.<br />

•21'''*. We have here a new heaven and a new earth, and a new Jerusalem<br />

coming down from heaven : yet in 22i*i i" all classes <strong>of</strong> sinners are iaid to<br />

be without <strong>the</strong> gates <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> city. But if <strong>the</strong>re were a, new earth this<br />

would be impossible, Thi.s contradiction may have arisen from combining<br />

<strong>the</strong> divergent Messianic conceptions which appear in 1 Enoch. Cf. ib*> ^ 90^'-<br />

22" ' no more curse '<br />

25"^ 'no sorrow or plague or<br />

torment or calamity '.<br />

(c) We shall next deal with <strong>the</strong> Epistles <strong>of</strong> St. Paul. This<br />

Apostle, as we know, borrowed both phraseology and ideas from<br />

many quarters: from <strong>the</strong> Greek poets; from <strong>the</strong> apocryphal<br />

writings, as <strong>the</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Wisdom ; from <strong>the</strong> lost Revelation <strong>of</strong><br />

Elias— 1 Cor. 2' according to Origen, and Eph. 5^* according to<br />

Epiphanius. We shall find that he was well acquainted with<br />

and used 1 Enoch.<br />

Rom. 8^* 'Nei<strong>the</strong>r angels, nor 61^^" 'angels <strong>of</strong> power and .<br />

principalities, nor powers '. angels <strong>of</strong> principalities '.<br />

g** ' God blessed for ever '. 77^ ' He who is blessed for ever '.<br />

1 Cor. 6^1 - Justified in <strong>the</strong> name 48' 'in his (i.e. <strong>the</strong> Messiah's)<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord Jesus '. name <strong>the</strong>y are saved *.<br />

1 Cor. 111". TertuUian, C. Marc. v. 8 ; de Virg.Veland. 7, explains this<br />

verse through a reference to <strong>the</strong> bad angels spoken <strong>of</strong> in 1 Enoch who<br />

would be incited to wantonness by unveiled women.<br />

2 Cor. 4" ' To give <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> 38* ' The Lord <strong>of</strong> Spirits has<br />

<strong>the</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glory <strong>of</strong> caused His light to appear<br />

God in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> Jesus on <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> holy, right-<br />

Christ<br />

'- ecus, and elect '.<br />
