93 HANOCH - ENOCH 93
The Apocalypse of Weeks
93:1 Then after that Enoch happened to be recounting from the books.
93:2 And Enoch said, “Concerning the children of righteousness, concerning the elect ones of the world, and concerning the plant of truth, I will speak these things, my children, verily I, Enoch, myself, and let you know about it according to that which was revealed to me from the heavenly vision, that which I have learned from the words of the kodesh malakim, and understood from the heavenly tablets.”
93:3 He then began to recount from the books and said, “I was born the seventh during the first week, during which time judgment and righteousness continued to endure.”
93:4 “After me there shall arise in the second week great and evil things; deceit should grow, and therein the first consummation will take place. But therein also a certain man shall be saved. After it is ended, injustice shall become greater, and he shall make a law for the sinners.”
93:5 “Then after that at the completion of the third week a certain man shall be elected as the plant of the righteous judgment, and after him one other shall emerge as the eternal plant of righteousness.”
93:6 “After that at the completion of the fourth week visions of the old and righteous ones shall be seen; and a law shall be made with a fence, for all the generations.”
93:7 “After that in the fifth week, at the completion of splendor, a house and a kingdom shall be built.”
93:8 “After that in the sixth week those who happen to be in it shall all of them be blindfolded, and the hearts of them all shall forget wisdom. Therein, a certain man shall ascend. And, at its completion, the house of the kingdom shall be burnt with fire; and therein the whole clan of the chosen root shall be dispersed.”
93:9 “After that in the seventh week an apostate generation shall arise; its deeds shall be many, and all of them criminal.”
93:10 “At its completion, there shall be elected the elect ones of righteousness from the eternal plant of righteousness, to whom shall be given sevenfold instruction concerning all his flock.”
93:11 “For what kind of a human being is there that is able to hear the voice of the Kodesh One without being shaken? Who is there that is able to ponder HIS deep thoughts? Who is there that can look directly at all the good deeds?”
93:12 “What kind of a person is he that can fully understand the activities of heaven; so that he can see a soul, or even perhaps a spirit -or, even if he ascended into the heavens and saw all these heavenly beings and their wings and contemplated them; or, even if he can do what the heavenly beings do? -and is able to live?”
93:13 “What kind of a person is anyone that is able to understand the nature of the breadth and length of the earth? To whom has the extent of all these been shown?”
93:14 “Is there perchance any human being that is able to understand the length of heaven, the extent of its altitude, upon what it is founded, the number of the stars, and the place where all the luminaries rest?”
