The Book of Enoch


                  71.17 And so there will be length of days with that Son of Man, and the

                  righteous will have peace, and the righteous will have an upright way in the

                  name of the Lord of Spirits, for ever and ever.”

                  59.1 And in those days my eyes saw the secrets of the flashes of lightning,


                  and the lights, and the regulations governing them; and they flash for a
                  blessing or a curse, as the Lord of Spirits wishes.


                  59.2 And there I saw the secrets of the thunder and how when it crashes in
                  Heaven above the sound of it is heard.  And they showed me the dwellings


                  of the dry ground, and the sound of the thunder, for peace, and for blessing,
                  or for a curse, according to the word of the Lord of Spirits.


                  59.3 And after this all the secrets of the lights, and of the flashes of

                  lightning, were shown to me.  They flash to bring blessing and satisfaction.

                  60.11 And the other Angel spoke to me, the one who went with me and

                  showed me what is secret; what is first and last in Heaven, in the heights,

                  and under the dry ground, in the depths, and at the Ends of Heaven, and at

                  the Foundations of Heaven, and in the Storehouses of the Winds.

                  60.12 And how the spirits are distributed, and how they are weighed.  And

                  how the springs, and the winds, are counted according to the power of their

                  spirit.  And the power of the light of the Moon.  And the divisions of the

                  stars according to their names.  And how all the divisions are made.

                  60.13 And the thunder - according to the places were it falls.  And all the

                  divisions that are made in lightning - so that it may flash.  And its hosts -

                  how they quickly obey.

                  60.14 For the thunder have fixed intervals, which have been given to its

                  sound, for waiting.  And the thunder and the lightning are not separate

                  although not the same.  Through a spirit the two of them move inseparably.

                  60.15 For when the lightning flashes the thunder utters its voice, and the

                  spirit, at the proper time, causes it to rest, and divides equally between them

                  because the storehouse of the times for their occurrence is like that of the




                                                                                                     89
