Chapter 7-13

7:3. “…till we have sealed the servants of our God….”

Enoch XCIII.9-10: “And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, And many shall be its deeds, And all its deeds shall be apostate.  And at its close shall be elected the elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness, To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.”

 

8:5. “Lightnings and thunderings” See 4:5 above.

 

8:8-9. “…and the third part of the sea became blood….”

Enoch C.1: “And in those days in one place the fathers together with their sons shall be smitten, And brothers one with another shall fall in death, Till the streams flow with their blood.”  (p. 143).

 

8:10. “…and there fell a great star from heaven….”

Enoch Lxxxvi:  “… a star fell from heaven, and it arose and ate and pastured amongst those oxen…. ” [How the oxen began to live with each other, many stars descended and were cast down and began to mingle with the cattle, bringing forth elephants, camels and asses; how this caused great conflict…] (Lxxxvi: “The Fall of the Angels and the Demoralization of Mankind.” pp.114-115.)

 

8:13. “…Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth….”

Enoch XCIV.6-C.9.  Woes” are pronounced upon the sinners, approximately 28 times.  (pp. 135-144).

 

9:11. “…whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, ….”

The Book of Enoch (pp. Xviii-xix).  “…was originally written either in Hebrew or Aramaic; Charles thinks that chapters vi.-xxxvi., lxxxiii.-xc. were Aramaic, the rest Hebrew.  It is, however, very difficult to say for certain which of these two languages was really the original, because, as Burkitt says, ‘most of the most convincing proofs that the Greek text of Enoch is a translation from a Semitic language fit equally well with a Hebrew or an Aramaic original’; his opinion is that Aramaic was the original language, ‘but that a few passages do seem to suggest a Hebrew origin, yet not decisively.'” 

 

9:12. ‘Woe’, see 8:13 above.

 

11:6. ‘Blood’, see 8:8 above.

 

11:14. ‘Woe’, see 8:13 above.

 

11:18. “…and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets …and shouldest  destroy them which destroy the earth….” 

Enoch chapters I-V concern the future rewards of the Wicked and the Righteous.

(p. xxvi). “This book [Enoch] is concerned with the question of the final reward of the righteous and the final punishment of the wicked….In this book it is taught that retribution will overtake the wicked, and the righteous will have peace and prosperity, even on this earth, with the setting-up of the Messianic Kingdom; and that at last there will come, with the final judgement, the destruction of the former heaven and earth, and the creation of a new heaven.  Then will follow the resurrection of the spirits of the righteous dead who will live for ever in peace and joy, while the wicked will perish everlastingly.”

 

11:19. “Lightnings and thunderings” see 4:5 above.

 

12:12. ‘Woe’, see 8:13 above.

 

13:1, 2, 11. “And I saw a beast rising….” –

In his introduction to Enoch, Oesterley says concerning The Dream Visions, (chapters lxxxiii.-xc): “… the patriarchs, symbolized by bulls, etc … the faithful in Israel are spoken of as the sheep, while the Gentiles are symbolized by wild beasts and birds of prey.”  (p. xxiv-xxv.  See also lxxxv.).
