The Book of Enoch


                  prayer down for the generations of eternity, and I will show everything to

                  you my son Methuselah.

                  83.11 And, when I went out below and saw the sky, and the Sun rising in

                  the east, and the Moon setting in the west, and some stars, and the whole


                  Earth, and everything as He knew it since the beginning.  Then I blessed
                  the Lord of Judgment and ascribed Majesty to him, for he makes the Sun


                  come out from the windows of the east, so that it ascends and rises on the
                  face of Heaven, and follows the path which has been shown to it.


                  84.1 And I raised my hands in righteousness and I blessed the Holy and
                  Great One.  And I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with the tongue


                  of flesh, which God has made for men born of flesh so that they might

                  speak with it; and he has given them breath, and a tongue, and a mouth, so

                  that they might speak with them.

                  84.2  “Blessed are you, Oh Lord King, and great and powerful in your

                  majesty, Lord of the whole Creation of Heaven, King of Kings, and God of

                  the whole world!  And your kingly authority, and your Sovereignty and

                  your Majesty will last forever, and forever and ever, and your power, for all

                  generations.  And all the Heavens are your throne, forever, and the whole

                  Earth your footstool forever, and ever and ever.

                  84.3 For you made, and you rule, everything, and nothing is too hard for

                  you, and no wisdom escapes you; it does not turn away from your throne

                  nor from your presence.  And you know, and see, and hear, everything, and

                  nothing is hidden from you, for you see everything.

                  84.4 And now the Angels of your Heaven are doing wrong and your anger

                  rests upon the flesh of men until the day of the great judgment.

                  84.5 And now, Oh God, Lord, and Great King, I entreat and ask that you

                  will fulfill my prayer to leave me a posterity on Earth and not to wipe out

                  all the flesh of men and make the earth empty so that there is destruction

                  forever.
