The Book of Enoch


                  62.4 And pain will come upon them as upon a woman in labour, for whom

                  giving birth is difficult when her child enters the mouth of the womb, and

                  she has difficulty giving birth.

                  62.5 And one half of them will look at the other, and they will be terrified,


                  and will cast down their faces, and pain will take hold of them when they
                  see that son of a woman sitting on the throne of His Glory.


                  62.6 And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the earth, will praise
                  and bless and exalt Him who rules everything that is hidden.


                  62.7 For from the beginning that Son of Man was hidden, and the Most
                  High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the


                  chosen.

                  62.8 And the community of the Holy and the chosen will be sown and all

                  the chosen will stand before him on that day.

                  62.9 And all the mighty kings, and the exalted, and those who rule the dry

                  ground, will fall down before him, on their faces, and worship; and they

                  will set their hopes on that Son of Man, and will entreat him, and will

                  petition for mercy from him.

                  62.10 But the Lord of Spirits will then so press them that they will hasten

                  to go out from before Him, and their faces will be filled with shame, and

                  the darkness will grow deeper on their faces.

                  62.11 And the Angels of Punishment will take them so that they may repay

                  them for the wrong that they did to His children and to His chosen ones.

                  62.12 And they will become a spectacle to the righteous and to His chosen

                  ones; they will rejoice over them, for the anger of the Lord of Spirits will

                  rest upon them, and the sword of the Lord of Spirits will be drunk with

                  them.

                  62.13 And the righteous and the chosen will be saved on that Day and they

                  will never see the faces of the sinners and the lawless from then on.

                  62.14 And the Lord of Spirits will remain over them and with that Son of




                                                                                                     79
