Apocryphal books (Old Testament); Enoch (Biblical figure); Ethiopic book of Enoch -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
3. And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom,
And the spirit which gives insight,
And the spirit of understanding and of might,
And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
4. And he shall judge the secret things,
And none shall be able to utter a lying word before him;
For he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His
good pleasure.
L. _The Glorification and Victory of the Righteous: the Repentance of
the Gentiles._
L. 1. And in those days a change shall take place for the holy and
elect,
And the light of days shall abide upon them,
And glory and honour shall turn to the holy,
2. On the day of affliction on which evil shall have been treasured
up against the sinners.
And the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of
Spirits:
And He will cause the others to witness (this),
That they may repent
And forgo the works of their hands.
3. They shall have no honour through the name of the Lord of
Spirits,
Yet through His name shall they be saved,
And the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on them,
For His compassion is great.
4. And He is righteous also in His judgement,
And in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall not
maintain itself:
At His judgement the unrepentant shall perish before Him.
5. And from henceforth I will have no mercy on them, saith the Lord
of Spirits.
LI. _The Resurrection of the Dead, and the Separation by the Judge of
the Righteous and the Wicked._
LI. 1. And in those days shall the earth also give back that which
has been entrusted to it,
And Sheol also shall give back that which it has received,
And hell shall give back that which it owes.
5 _a._ For in those days the Elect One shall arise,
2. And he shall choose the righteous and holy from among them:
For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.
3. And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne,
And his mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and
counsel:
For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to him and hath glorified
him.
4. And in those days shall the mountains leap like rams,
And the hills also shall skip like lambs satisfied with milk,
And the faces of [all] the angels in heaven shall be lighted up with
joy.
5 _b._ And the earth shall rejoice,
_c._ And the righteous shall dwell upon it,
_d._ And the elect shall walk thereon.
LII. _The Seven Metal Mountains and the Elect One._
