The Book of Enoch


                  52.4 And he said to me:  "All these things which you have seen serve the

                  authority of His Messiah, so that he may be strong and powerful on the

                  Earth."

                  52.5 And that Angel of Peace answered me, saying:  "Wait a little and you


                  will see, and everything which is secret, which the Lord of Spirits has
                  established, will be revealed to you.


                  52.6 And these mountains, that you have seen; the mountain of iron, and
                  the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver, and the mountain of


                  gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead.  All these in
                  front of the Chosen One will be like wax before fire, and like the water that


                  comes down from above onto these mountains they will be weak under his

                  feet.

                  52.7 And it will come to pass in those days, that neither by gold, nor by

                  silver, will men save themselves; they will be unable to save themselves, or

                  to flee.

                  52.8 And there will be neither iron for war nor material for a breastplate;

                  bronze will be no use, and tin will be of no use and will count for nothing,

                  and lead will not be wanted.

                  52.9 All these will be wiped out and destroyed from the face of the earth

                  when the Chosen One appears in front of the Lord of Spirits."

                  53.1 And there my eyes saw a deep valley, and its mouth was open; and all

                  those who dwell upon dry ground and the sea and the islands will bring

                  gifts and presents and offerings to him, but that deep valley will not

                  become full.

                  53.2 And their hands commit evil, and everything at which the righteous

                  toil the sinners evilly devour; and so the sinners will be destroyed from in

                  front of the Lord of Spirits, and will be banished from the face of His Earth,

                  unceasingly for ever and ever.

                  53.3 For I saw the Angels of Punishment going and preparing all the




                                                                                                     69
