oppress the elect of the children of God, lxii. 1 1 . But
the prayer
of the righteous ascends, and their blood goes up before the Lord
of Spirits crying for vengeance, xlvii. 1 ; and the angels unite
in the prayer of the righteous, xlvii. 2. But the oppression of
the kings and the mighty will not continue for ever : suddenly
the Head of Days will appear and with Him the Son of Man,
xlvi. 2, 3, 4 ; xlviii. 2, to execute judgment upon all alike—on the
righteous and wicked, on angel and on man. And to this end
there will be a Eesurrection of all Israel, li. 1 ; lxi. 5 ; the books
of the living will be opened, xlvii. 3 : all judgment will be committed
unto the Son of Man, xli. ; 9 lxix. 2 7 ; the Son of Man
will possess universal dominion, lxii. 6, and sit on the throne of
his glory, lxii. 3, 5; lxix. 27, 29, which is likewise God's throne,
xlvii. 3 ; li. 3. He will judge the holy angels, lxi. 8, and the
fallen angels, lv. 4, the righteous upon earth, lxii. 3, and the
sinners, lxii. 2 ; but particularly those who oppress his saints,
the kings and the mighty and those who possess the earth, xlviii.
4-7 ; liii. 3 ; lxii. 3, 11. All are judged according to their deeds,
for their deeds are weighed in the balance, xli. 1. The fallen
angels are cast into a fiery furnace, liv. 6; the kings and the
mighty confess their sins, and pray for forgiveness, but in vain,
lxiii ; and are given into the hands of the righteous, xxxviii. 5 ;
and their destruction will furnish a spectacle to the righteous as
they burn and vanish for ever out of sight, xlviii. 9, 10; lxii. 1 2 ;
to be tortured in Gehenna by the angels of punishment, liii. 3-5 ;
liv. 1, 2. The remaining sinners and godless will be driven from
off the face of the earth, xxxviii. 3 ; xli. 2 ; xlv. 6. The Son of
Man will slay them with the word of his mouth, lxii. 2. Sin and
wrongdoing will be banished from the earth, xlix. 2 ; and heaven and
earth will be transformed, xlv. 4, 5 ; and the righteous and elect
will have their mansions therein, xxxix. 6
; xli. 2. And the light
of the Lord of Spirits will shine upon them, xxxviii. 4 ; xlviii. 9
they will live in the light of eternal life, lviii. 3. The Elect One
will dwell amongst them, xlv. 4 ; and they will eat and lie down
and rise up with him for ever and ever, lxii. 14. They will be
clad in garments of life, lxii. 15, 16; and shine as fiery lights,
xxxix. 7 ; and become angels in heaven, li. 4. And they will
seek after light and find righteousness and peace with the Lord of
Spirits, lviii. 3, 4 ; and grow in knowledge and righteousness,
lviii. 5.
