The Book of Enoch 57

How to read these pages: the text itself comes first, verse by verse, in the volume's own translation. Beneath each verse stands its Meaning — a rendering of what the passage's terms name in the inner life, drawn from the correspondences the text itself uses. The text is never altered; the meaning is offered, not imposed.

Charles translation (1917)

1And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of wagons, and men riding thereon, and coming on the winds from the east, and from the west to the south.

And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of wagons — companies of carriers bearing states across — and men riding thereon, and coming on the winds, the moving influences of the Spirit, from the east, the direction of the dawn, and from the west to the south.

2And the noise of their wagons was heard, and when this turmoil took place the holy ones from heaven remarked it, and the pillars of the earth were moved from their place, and the sound thereof was heard from the one end of heaven to the other, in one day.

And the noise of their wagons was heard; and when this turmoil took place the holy ones — states wholly of the divine order — from the inner realm remarked it, and the pillars of the earth — the supporting structures of the outer life — were moved from their place, and the sound thereof was heard from the one end of the inner realm to the other, in one day.

3And they shall all fall down and worship the Lord of Spirits. And this is the end of the second Parable.

And they shall all fall down and worship the indwelling LORD of Spirits. And this is the end of the second Parable — the outer story carrying its inner truth.
