Enoch (vegetarian), God’s Messenger of Divine Justice: From The Book of Enoch, Part 2 of 2

Today’s show is dedicated as a celebration of Enoch Feast Day. Let us continue with more excerpts from the translation of ‘The Book of Enoch.’ In this episode, Enoch delivers God’s judgment to the fallen angels, who beg Him to intercede for them, but their prayers are rejected. Enoch is then shown a vision of Heaven and God’s glorious throne, where He learns that the Watchers’ fate is sealed and they will never again return to Heaven.

CHAPTERS 13-14 Enoch’s Intercession For Azâzêl and The Fallen Angels: And His Announcement to Them of Their First And Final Doom

“And Enoch went and said: ‘Azâzêl, thou shall have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds: And thou shall not have toleration nor request granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou has taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which thou has shown to men.’ Then I went and spoke to them all together, and they were all afraid, and fear and trembling seized them. And they besought me to draw up a petition for them that they might find forgiveness, and to read their petition in the presence of the Lord of Heaven. For from then on they could not speak (with Him) nor lift up their eyes to Heaven for shame of their sins for which they had been condemned. Then I wrote out their petition, and the prayer in regard to their spirits and their deeds individually, and in regard to their requests that they should have forgiveness and length of days. And I went off and sat down at the waters of Dan, in the land of Dan, to the south of the west of Hermon: I read their petition till I fell asleep. And behold a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw visions of chastisement, and a voice came bidding (me) I to tell it to the sons of Heaven, and reprimand them. And when I awaked, I came unto them, and they were all sitting gathered together, weeping in Abelsjâîl, which is between Lebanon and Sênêsêr, with their faces covered. And I recounted before them all the visions which I had seen in sleep, and I began to speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the Heavenly Watchers.”

“The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of the eternal Watchers in accordance with the command of the Holy Great One in that vision. I saw in my sleep what I will now say with a tongue of flesh and with the breath of my mouth, which the Great One has given to men to converse therewith and understand with the heart. […]”
