65 HANOCH - ENOCH 65
Enoch's predictions concerning the Deluge and himself
65:1 In those days, Noah saw the earth, that she had become deformed, and that her destruction was at hand.
65:2
And Noah took off from there and went unto the extreme ends of the earth. And he cried out to his grandfather, Enoch, and said to him, three times, with a bitter voice, “Hear me! Hear me! Hear me!”
65:3 And I said unto him, “Tell me what this thing is which is being done upon the earth, for the earth is struggling in this manner and is being shaken; perhaps I will perish with her in the impact.”
65:4 At that moment, there took place a tremendous turbulence upon the earth; and a voice from heaven was heard, and I fell upon my face.
65:5 Then Enoch, my grandfather, came and stood by me, saying to me, “Why did you cry out so sorrowfully and with bitter tears?”
65:6 “An order has been issued from the court of YAHWEH against those who dwell upon the earth, that their doom has arrived because they have acquired the knowledge of all the secrets of the angels, all the oppressive deeds of the Satan’s, as well as all their most occult powers, all the powers of those who practice sorcery, all the powers of those who mix many colors, all the powers of those who make molten images;”
65:7 “how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how bronze is made upon the earth -”
65:8 “for lead and tin are produced from the earth like silver -their source is a fountain inside which stands a malak, and he is a running malak.”
65:9 After that, my grandfather, Enoch, took hold of me by my hand and raised me up and said to me, “Go, for I have asked YAHWEH of Hosts regarding this turbulence which is taking place on the earth.”
65:10 He continued to say to me, “Because their oppression has been carried out on the earth, their judgment will be limitless before me. On account of the abstract things which they have investigated and experienced, the earth shall perish together with those who dwell upon her.”
65:11 “And those who taught them these things will have no haven forever, because they have revealed to them the things which are secret -to the condemned ones; but, as for you, my son, YAHWEH of Hosts knows that you are pure and kindhearted; you detest the secret things.”
65:12 “He has preserved your name for the kodesh ones; he will protect you from those who dwell upon the earth; he has preserved your righteous seed for kingship and great splendor; and from your seed will emerge a fountain of the righteous and kodesh ones without number forever.”
