Introduction: An Oracle of Judgment (1:2—5:9)
2 And he took up his discoursea
and said,
“Enoch, a righteous man whose eyes were opened by God,
who had the vision of the Holy One and of heaven, which
he showed me.
From the words of the watchers and holy ones I heard everything;
and as I heard everything from them, I also understood
what I saw.
Not for this generation do I expound,
but concerning one that is distant I speak.
3 And concerning the chosen I speak now,
and concerning them I take up my discourse.
The Theophany
“The Great Holy One will come forth from his dwelling,
4 and the eternal God will tread from thence upon Mount
Sinai.

20 1 Enoch 1:4-9
He will appear with his army,a
he will appear with his mighty host from the heaven of
heavens.
5 All the watchers will fear and <quake>,b
and those who are hiding in all the ends of the earth will
sing.
All the ends of the earth will be shaken,
and trembling and great fear will seize them (the watchers)
unto the ends of the earth.
6 The high mountains will be shaken and fall and break apart,
and the high hills will be made low and melt like wax
before the fire.
7 The earth will be wholly rent asunder,
and everything on the earth will perish
Praise God, I will ask Bro. Haney to let me preach this at Landmark on Friday night!
