days

At that time I beheld the Ancient of days, while he sat upon the throne of his glory, _while_ the book of the living was opened in his presence, and _while_ all the powers which were above the heavens stood around and before him.

In that hour was this Son of man invoked before the Lord of spirits, and his name in the presence of the Ancient of days.

For in his name shall they be preserved; and his will shall be their life. In those days shall the kings of the earth and the mighty men, who have gained the world by their achievements, become humble in countenance.

In those days the saints and the chosen shall undergo a change. The light of day shall rest upon them; and the splendour and glory of the saints shall be changed.

In those days shall the earth deliver up from her womb, and hell deliver up from hers, that which it has received; and destruction shall restore that which it owes.

And in those days shall the Elect One sit upon his throne, while every secret of intellectual wisdom shall proceed from his mouth; for the Lord of spirits has gifted and glorified him.

In those days the mountains shall skip like rams, and the hills shall leap like young sheep satiated with milk; and all _the righteous_ shall become angels in heaven.

Their countenance shall be bright with joy; for in those days shall the Elect One be exalted. The earth shall rejoice; the righteous shall inhabit it, and the elect possess it.

In those days men shall not be saved by gold and by silver.

In those days shall punishment go forth from the Lord of spirits; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth.

Afterwards the Ancient of days repented, and said, In vain have I destroyed all the inhabitants of the earth.

But I will place a sign in the heavens; and it shall be a faithful witness between me and them for ever, as long as the days of heaven and earth last upon the earth.

And that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved; the days of whose life shall be consumed, but the days of their error shall be innumerable.

And that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved; the days of whose life shall be consumed, but the days of their error shall be innumerable.

In those days shall the mouth of hell be opened, into which they shall be immerged; hell shall destroy and swallow up sinners from the face of the elect.

The saints shall exist in the light of the sun, and the elect in the light of everlasting life, the days of whose life shall never terminate; nor shall the days of the saints be numbered, who seek for light, and obtain righteousness with the Lord of spirits.

The saints shall exist in the light of the sun, and the elect in the light of everlasting life, the days of whose life shall never terminate; nor shall the days of the saints be numbered, who seek for light, and obtain righteousness with the Lord of spirits.

In those days my eyes beheld the secrets of the lightnings and the splendours, and the judgment belonging to them.

In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth _day_ of the month, of the lifetime of Enoch, in that parable, I saw that the heaven of heavens shook; that it shook violently; and that the powers of the Most High, and the angels, thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads, were agitated with great agitation. And when I looked, the Ancient of days was sitting on the throne of his glory, while the angels and saints were standing around him. A great trembling came upon me, and terror seized me. My loins were bowed down and loosened; my reins were dissolved; and I fell upon my face. The holy Michael; another holy angel, one of the holy ones, was sent, who raised me up.

In those days I beheld long ropes given to those angels; who took to their wings, and fled, advancing towards the north.

In those days the kings who possess the earth shall be punished by the angels of his wrath, wheresoever they shall be delivered up, that he may give rest for a short period; and that they may fall down and worship before the Lord of spirits, confessing their sins before him.

In those days Noah saw that the earth became inclined, and that destruction approached.

In those days the word of God came to me, and said, Noah, behold, thy lot has ascended up to me, a lot void of crime, a lot beloved and upright.

And in those days shall these waters be to kings, to princes, to the exalted, and to the inhabitants of the earth, for the healing of the soul and body, and for the judgment of the spirit.

In those days shall the waters of that valley be changed; for when the angels shall be judged, then shall the heat of those springs of water experience an alteration.

With them _was_ the Ancient of days, whose head _was_ white as wool, and pure, and his robe _was_ indescribable.

And those blessings, which proceeded from my mouth, became acceptable in the presence of the Ancient of days.

The Ancient of days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, with thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads, which could not be numbered.

The righteousness of the Ancient of days shall not forsake thee.

And thus shall length of days be with the offspring of man.

When the sun rises in heaven, it goes forth through this fourth gate thirty days, and by the fourth gate in the west of heaven on a level with it descends.

During that period the day is lengthened from the day, and the night curtailed from the night for thirty days. And then the day is longer by two parts than the night.

The sun goes forth through this fourth gate, and sets in it, and turns to the fifth gate during thirty days; after which it proceeds from, and sets in, the fifth gate.

The sun _now_ returns to the east, entering into the sixth gate, and rising and setting in the sixth gate thirty-one days, on account of its signs.

And the sun returns towards the east, entering into the sixth gate, where it rises and sets for thirty days.

Then the sun goes from the west, from that sixth gate, and proceeds eastwards, rising in the fifth gate for thirty days, and setting again westwards in the fifth gate of the west.

Then the sun goes from the fifth gate, as it sets in the fifth gate of the west; and rises in the fourth gate for thirty-one days, on account of its signs, setting in the west.

Then the sun goes from that gate, as it sets in the west; and returning to the east proceeds by the third gate for thirty days, setting in the west at the third gate.

At that period the night is lengthened from the day during thirty mornings, and the day is curtailed from the day during thirty days; the night being ten parts precisely, and the day eight parts.

The sun now goes from the third gate, as it sets in the third gate in the west; but returning to the east, it proceeds by the second gate of the east for thirty days.

Then the sun goes at that time from the second gate, as it sets in the second gate in the west; but returns to the east, _proceeding_ by the first gate, for thirty-one days.

Into that gate it enters for thirty days, and sets in the west, in the opposite part _of heaven_.

It returns by these beginnings thirty days, rising and setting.

At that period the night is contracted in its length. It becomes ten parts, and the day eight parts. Then the sun goes from that second gate, and sets in the west; but returns to the east, and rises in the east, in the third gate, thirty-one days, setting in the west of heaven.

At that period the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. And the night is equal with the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days.

This is the law and progress of the sun, and its turning when it turns back, turning during sixty days, and going forth. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which he names the sun for ever and ever.

Thus it rises, and at its commencement towards the east goes forth for thirty days.

At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days _it is_ with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth.

I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days.

On stated months it changes _its_ settings; and on stated months it makes its progress _through_ each _gate_. In two _gates_ the moon sets with the sun, _viz._ in those two gates which are in the midst, in the third and fourth gate. _From the third gate_ it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit.

Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight days into the sixth gate, _and returns in seven days to the third gate_, from which the sun goes forth.

Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight days into the sixth gate, _and returns in seven days to the third gate_, from which the sun goes forth.

When the sun proceeds to the fourth gate, the _moon_ goes forth for seven days, until it passes from the fifth _gate_.

Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the first gate in eight days;

Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the first gate in eight days;

And returns in seven days to the fourth gate, from which the sun goes forth.

At those times there is an excess of thirty days belonging to the sun in five years; all the days belonging to each year of the five years, when completed, amount to three hundred and sixty-four days; and to the sun and stars belong six days; six days in each of the five years; _thus_ thirty days belong to them;

So that the moon has thirty days less than the sun and stars.

The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.

In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.

To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less _than the sun_, for an addition being made to the _one thousand and_ sixty-two days, in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days.

For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_ eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.

For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_ eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.

For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_ eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.

The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moons, and the station of the sun; which rise in the _different_ gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days.

_These are_ the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, _those_ which _preside_ over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four _days_ which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete computation of the year.

And these serve four days, which are not computed in the computation of the year.

And the days, Uriel showed me; the angel whom the Lord of glory appointed over all the luminaries.

Conductors of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the ministers of heaven, which make their circuit with all the chariots of heaven.

Seven high mountains I beheld, higher than all the mountains of the earth, from which frost proceeds; while days, seasons, and years depart and pass away.

In fourteen _days_ the whole of its light is completed.

_By_ three quintuples light is put into it, until _in_ fifteen _days_ its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples.

On stated months the moon has twenty-nine days.

It also has a period of twenty-eight days.

All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured _into it_ in the presence of the sun, until _its_ light is in fourteen days completed in heaven.

Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away.

During three months it effects in thirty days _each month_ its period; and during three _more_ months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. _These are the times_ in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, _namely_, in one hundred and seventy-seven days.

During three months it effects in thirty days _each month_ its period; and during three _more_ months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. _These are the times_ in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, _namely_, in one hundred and seventy-seven days.

And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three _more_ months it appears twenty-nine days each.

And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three _more_ months it appears twenty-nine days each.

In the night it appears for each twenty _days_ as _the face of_ a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light.

From this is the beginning of the month; and its decrease is effected in the sixth gate in its period, until a hundred and seventy-seven days are completed; according to the mode of computation by weeks, twenty-five _weeks_ and two days.

From this is the beginning of the month; and its decrease is effected in the sixth gate in its period, until a hundred and seventy-seven days are completed; according to the mode of computation by weeks, twenty-five _weeks_ and two days.

_Its period_ is less than that of the sun, according to the ordinance of the stars, by five days in one half year precisely.

In those days Uriel answered and said to me, Behold, I have showed thee all things, O Enoch;

In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened.

In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden.

The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place in the borders of the great chariots in the west. _Heaven_ shall shine more than _when illuminated by_ the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works.
