The Book of Enoch<br />

71.17 And so there will be length of days with that Son of Man, and the<br />

righteous will have peace, and the righteous will have an upright way in the<br />

name of the Lord of Spirits, for ever and ever.”<br />

59.1 And in those days my eyes saw the secrets of the flashes of lightning,<br />

and the lights, and the regulations governing them; and they flash for a<br />
