The Book of Enoch
Notes
(12) THE BOOK OF PARABLES (pages 55-85)
This part of Enoch's book is introduced by a quote from the "Holy One,” at 37.3;
this is the headman of the Watchers, and what he says is almost an apology. Enoch's
parables are actually three essays, which outline the future path of spiritual
enlightenment, as explained to him by the Holy One.
The content of the second two parables is similar; the main theme is a Messiah, who
will bring guidance at the correct time. This eventually brings about an age of
enlightenment, where the souls of the righteous can live in peace.
