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.

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.

And as the inflammation of their bodies shall be great, so shall their spirits undergo a change for ever.

For no word which is uttered before the Lord of spirits shall be in vain.

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.

For these waters of judgment shall be for their healing, and for the death of their bodies. But they shall not perceive and believe that the waters will be changed, and become a fire, which shall blaze for ever.

After this he gave me the characteristical marks of all the secret things in the book of my great-grandfather Enoch, and in the parables which had been given to him; inserting them for me among the words of the book of parables.

In like manner also holy Rakael said to Raphael, They shall not be before the eye of the Lord; since the Lord of spirits has been offended with them; for like Lords have they conducted themselves. Therefore will he bring upon them a secret judgment for ever and ever.

For neither shall angel nor man receive a portion of it; but they alone shall receive their own judgment for ever and ever.

For neither shall angel nor man receive a portion of it; but they alone shall receive their own judgment for ever and ever.

After this judgment they shall be astonished and irritated; for it shall be exhibited to the inhabitants of the earth.

He seduced Eve; and discovered to the children of men the instruments of death, the coat of mail, the shield, and the sword for slaughter; every instrument of death to the children of men.

From his hand were _these things_ derived to them who dwell upon earth, from that period for ever.

For men were not born for this, thus with pen and with ink to confirm their faith;

For men were not born for this, thus with pen and with ink to confirm their faith;

This is the power of that oath; for powerful it is, and strong.

Heaven was suspended _by it_ before the world was made, for ever.

During the period of _its_ fury he has established the sand against it, which continues unchanged for ever; and by this oath the abyss has been made strong; nor is it removable from its station for ever and ever.

During the period of _its_ fury he has established the sand against it, which continues unchanged for ever; and by this oath the abyss has been made strong; nor is it removable from its station for ever and ever.

By this oath the sun and moon complete their progress, never swerving from the command _given_ to them for ever and ever.

And when their names are called, they return an answer, for ever and ever.

They glorify with all their power of praise; and he sustains them in all that _act of_ thanksgiving; while they laud, glorify, and exalt the name of the Lord of spirits for ever and ever.

He sat upon the throne of his glory; and the principal part of the judgment was assigned to him, the Son of man. Sinners shall disappear and perish from the face of the earth, while those who seduced them shall be bound with chains for ever.

According to their ranks of corruption shall they be imprisoned, and all their works shall disappear from the face of the earth; nor thenceforward shall there be any to corrupt; for the Son of man has been seen, sitting on the throne of his glory.

From that time I was not drawn in the midst of them; but he seated me between two spirits, between the north and the west, where the angels received their ropes, to measure out a place for the elect and the righteous.

There I beheld the fathers of the first men, and the saints, who dwell in that place for ever.

Then that angel came to me, and with his voice saluted me, saying, Thou art the offspring of man, who art born for righteousness, and righteousness has rested on thee.

He said, On thee shall he confer peace in the name of the existing world; for from thence has peace gone forth since the world was created.

And thus shall it happen to thee for ever and ever.

All who shall exist, and who shall walk in thy path of righteousness, shall not forsake thee for ever.

With thee shall be their habitations, with thee their lot; nor from thee shall they be separated for ever and ever.

Peace shall be to the righteous; and the path of integrity shall the righteous pursue, in the name of the Lord of spirits, for ever and ever.

The book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to their respective classes, their respective powers, their respective periods, their respective names, the places where they commence their progress, and their respective months, which Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducts them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal.

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.

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.

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_.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Respecting them, men greatly err, for these luminaries truly serve, in the mansion of the world, one _day_ in the first gate, one in the third gate, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth gate.

And the harmony of the world becomes complete every three hundred and sixty-fourth state of it. For the signs,

Thus Uriel showed me twelve gates open for the circuit of the chariots of the sun in heaven, from which the rays of the sun shoot forth.

From these proceed heat over the earth, when they are opened in their stated seasons. They are for the winds, and the spirit of the dew, when in their seasons they are opened; opened in heaven at _its_ extremities.

And at the extremities of the earth I beheld twelve gates open for all the winds, from which they proceed and blow over the earth.

The second is called the south, because the Most High there descends, and frequently there descends _he who_ is blessed for ever.

The fourth wind, which is named the north, is divided into three parts; one of which is for the habitation of man; another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, shady places, and snow; and the third part _contains_ paradise.

And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it.

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.

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.

He showed me every ordinance respecting these, which _takes place_ at all times and in all seasons under every influence, in all years, at the arrival and under the rule of each, during every month and every week. _He showed me_ also the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the sixth gate; for in that sixth gate is its light consumed.

Immediately after I blessed the Lord, the King of glory, who has thus for ever formed the whole workmanship of the world.

And they said unto me, Explain everything to Mathusala thy son; and inform all thy children, that no flesh shall be justified before the Lord; for he is their Creator.

During one year we will leave thee with thy children, until thou shalt again recover thy strength, that thou mayest instruct thy family, write these things, and explain them to all thy children. But in another year they shall take thee from the midst of them, and thy heart shall be strengthened; for the elect shall point out righteousness to the elect; the righteous with the righteous shall rejoice, congratulating each other; but sinners with sinners shall die,

Now, my son Mathusala, all these things I speak unto thee, and write for thee. To thee I have revealed all, and have given thee books of everything.

Wisdom have I given to thee, to thy children, and thy posterity, that they may transmit to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend _it_ may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating _this_ wholesome food.

With respect to the progress of the sun in heaven, it enters and goes out of _each_ gate for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousand classes of the stars; with four which are added, and appertain to the four quarters of the year, which conduct them, and accompany them at four periods.

Respecting these, men greatly err, and do not compute them in the computation of every age; for they greatly err respecting them; nor do men know accurately that they are in the computation of the year. But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth:

Respecting these, men greatly err, and do not compute them in the computation of every age; for they greatly err respecting them; nor do men know accurately that they are in the computation of the year. But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth:

Truly has been stated, and accurately has been computed that which is marked down; for the luminaries, the months, the fixed periods, the years, and the days, Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me; whom the Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded (according to the might of heaven, and the power which it possesses both by night and by day) to explain _the laws of_ light to man, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the powers of heaven, which are turned with their respective orbs.

Now, my son, rise up; and beseech the Lord of glory (for thou art faithful), that a remnant may be left upon earth, and that he would not wholly destroy it. My son, all this _calamity_ upon earth comes down from heaven; upon earth shall there be a great destruction.

Then I arose, prayed, and entreated; and wrote down my prayer for the generations of the world, explaining everything to my son Mathusala.

I lifted up my bands in righteousness, and blessed the holy, and the Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with.

Blessed art thou, O Lord, the King, great and powerful in thy greatness, Lord of all the creatures of heaven, King of kings, God of the whole world, whose reign, whose kingdom, and whose majesty endure for ever and ever.

From generation to generation shall thy dominion _exist_. All the heavens are thy throne for ever, and all the earth thy footstool for ever and for ever.

From generation to generation shall thy dominion _exist_. All the heavens are thy throne for ever, and all the earth thy footstool for ever and for ever.

From generation to generation shall thy dominion _exist_. All the heavens are thy throne for ever, and all the earth thy footstool for ever and for ever.

For thou hast made _them_, and over all thou reignest. No act whatsoever exceeds thy power. With thee wisdom is unchangeable; nor from thy throne and from thy presence is it ever averted. Thou knowest all things, seest and hearest them; nor is anything concealed from thee; for thou perceivest all things.

For thou hast made _them_, and over all thou reignest. No act whatsoever exceeds thy power. With thee wisdom is unchangeable; nor from thy throne and from thy presence is it ever averted. Thou knowest all things, seest and hearest them; nor is anything concealed from thee; for thou perceivest all things.

That the earth may not be left destitute, and destruction take place for ever.

O my Lord, let the race perish from off the earth which has offended thee, but a righteous and upright race establish for a posterity for ever. Hide not thy face, O Lord, from the prayer of thy servant.

O my Lord, let the race perish from off the earth which has offended thee, but a righteous and upright race establish for a posterity for ever. Hide not thy face, O Lord, from the prayer of thy servant.

Then one of those four went to the white cows, and taught them a mystery. While the cow was trembling, it was born, and became a man, and fabricated for himself a large ship. In this he dwelt, and three cows dwelt with him in that ship, which covered them.

They multiplied, and there was abundance of pasture for them.

Now the sheep began to cry out on account of their young, and fled for refuge to their Lord. One however, which was saved, escaped, and went away to the wild asses.

I likewise saw there in the vision, that this sheep became a man, built an house for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in that house.

All the sheep sought after him, and cried for him with bitter lamentation.

And that house was made large and wide; a lofty tower being built upon it by the sheep, for the Lord of the sheep.

But he looked on in silence, rejoicing that they were devoured, swallowed up, and carried off; and leaving them in the power of every beast for food. He called also seventy shepherds, and resigned to them _the care of_ the sheep, that they might overlook them;

Then he called to another, and said, Understand, and watch everything which the shepherds shall do to these sheep; for many more of them shall perish than I have commanded.

After this, I saw shepherds overlooking for twelve hours.

Thus were they delivered up to the shepherds for a great destruction, who trod them under foot, and devoured them.

Then he who wrote the book ascended, exhibited it, and read it at the residence of the Lord of the sheep. He petitioned him for them, and prayed, pointing out every act of the shepherds, and testifying before him against them all. Then taking the book, he deposited it with him, and departed.

The sheep then cried out; for their bodies were devoured by the birds.

Afterwards I wept abundantly, nor did my tears cease, so that I became incapable of enduring it. While I was looking on, they flowed on account of what I saw; for all was come and gone by; every individual circumstance respecting the conduct of mankind was seen by me.

And now, my son Mathusala, call to me all thy brethren, and assemble for me all the children of thy mother; for a voice calls me, and the spirit is poured out upon me, that I may show you everything which shall happen to you for ever.
