2. And from that time forth Enoch began to prophesy, saying unto
the people, That, as I was journeying, and stood upon the place
Mahujah and cried unto the Lord, there came a voice out of heaven,
saying, Turn ye, and get ye upon the Mount Simeon.
3. And it came to pass that I turned and went up on the mount; and
as I stood upon the mount, I beheld the heavens open, and I was
clothed upon with glory,
4. And I saw the Lord; and He stood before my face, and He talked
with me, even as a man talketh one with another, face to face; and
He said unto me, Look, and I will show unto thee the world for the
space of many generations.
5. And it came to pass that I beheld in the valley of Shum, and lo,
a great people which dwelt in tents, which were the people of Shum.
6. And again the Lord said unto me, Look; and I looked towards the
north, and I beheld the people of Canaan, which dwelt in tents.
7. And the Lord said unto me, Prophesy; and I prophesied, saying,
Behold the people of Canaan, which are numerous, shall go forth in
battle array against the people of Shum, and shall slay them that
they shall utterly be destroyed; and the people of Canaan shall
divide themselves in the land, and the land shall be barren and
unfruitful, and none other people shall dwell there but the people
of Canaan;
8. For behold the Lord shall curse the land with much heat, and
the barrenness thereof shall go forth forever; and there was a
blackness came upon all the children of Canaan, and they were
despised among all people.
9. And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me, Look; and I
{134} looked, and I beheld the land of Sharon, and the land of
Enoch, and the land of Omner, and the land of Heni, and the land of
Shem, and the land of Haner, and the land of Hanannihah, and all
the inhabitants thereof;
10. And the Lord said unto me, Go to this people, and say unto
them, that they must repent, lest I come out and smite them with a
curse, and they die.
11. And he gave unto me a commandment that I should baptize in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, which is full of grace and
truth, and of the Holy Ghost which beareth record of the Father and
the Son.
12. And it came to pass that Enoch continued to call upon all the
people, save it were the people of Canaan, to repent;
13. And so great was the faith of Enoch, that he led the people of
God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he spake
the word of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the mountains
fled, even according to his command; and the rivers of water were
turned out of their course; and the roar of the lions was heard out
of the wilderness; and all nations feared greatly, so powerful was
the word of Enoch; and so great was the power of the language which
God had given him.
