The Book of the Secrets of Enoch 47
Enoch cut the stars out of fire, decorated heaven, and put it in their midst.
1nd now, my children, lay thought on your hearts, mark well the words of your father, which are all (come) to you from the Lord's lips.
2 Take these books of your father's handwriting and read them.
3 For the books are many, and in them you will learn all the Lord's works, all that has been from the beginning of creation, and will be till the end of time.
4 And if you will observe my handwriting, you will not sin against the Lord; because there is no other except the Lord, neither in heaven, nor in earth, nor in the very lowest (places), nor in the (one) foundation.
5 The Lord has placed the foundations in the unknown, and has spread forth heavens visible (physical) and invisible (spiritual); he fixed the earth on the waters, and created countless creatures, and who has counted the water and the foundation of the unfixed, or the dust of the earth, or the sand of the sea, or the drops of the rain, or the morning dew, or the wind's breathings? Who has filled earth and sea, and the indissoluble winter?
6 I cut the stars out of fire, and decorated heaven, and put it in their midst.
Did You Know?
Enoch cut the stars out of fire, decorated heaven, and put it in their midst.
Enochs many handwritten books reveal all the Lords works from creations beginning until the end of time.
Foundations were placed in the unknown while visible physical and invisible spiritual heavens were spread forth.
None has counted the dust of the earth, sand of the sea, raindrops, morning dew, or winds breathings.
Observing Enochs handwriting keeps one from sinning, for no other exists in heaven, earth, or lowest places.
