The Book of Enoch


                  and all the storehouses of the waters which are above the sky and under the

                  earth, will be opened.

                  54.8 And all the waters will be joined with the waters that are above the

                  sky.  The water that is above the sky is male and the water that is under the


                  Earth is female.
                  54.9 And all those who dwell upon the dry ground, and those who dwell


                  under the ends of Heaven, will be wiped out.
                  54.10 And because of this they will acknowledge their iniquity which they


                  have committed on the Earth and through this they will be destroyed."
                  55.1 And after this, the Head of Days repented, and said:


                  "I have destroyed to no purpose all those who dwell upon the dry ground."

                  55.2 And he swore by His Great Name:  "From now on I will not act like

                  this towards all those who dwell upon the dry ground.  And I will put a sign

                  in Heaven, and it will be a pledge of faith between me and them forever, so

                  long as Heaven is above the Earth.

                  55.3 And this will be in accordance with my command.  When I want to

                  take hold of them with the hands of the Angels, on the day of distress and

                  pain, in the face of my anger and my wrath, my wrath and anger will

                  remain upon them" says the Lord, The Lord of Spirits.

                  55.4 "You powerful kings who dwell upon the dry ground will be obliged

                  to watch my Chosen One sit down on the throne of My Glory, and judge, in

                  the Name of the Lord of Spirits, Azazel and all his associates and all his

                  hosts."

                  56.1 And I saw there the hosts of the Angels of Punishment, as they went,

                  and they were holding chains of iron and bronze.

                  56.2 And I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, saying:

                  "To whom are those who are holding the chains going?"

                  56.3 And he said to me:  "Each to his own chosen ones, and to their

                  beloved ones, so that they may be thrown into the chasm, in the depths of
