Benjamin 9

From the words of the righteous Enoch, fornication like that of Sodom is foretold, with all but a few perishing.

N1🔗ow I suppose, from the words of the righteous Enoch, that there will be also evil-doings among you: for ye will commit fornication with the fornication of Sodom, and shall perish all save a few, and will multiply inordinate lusts with women; and the kingdom of the Lord shall not be among you, for forthwith He will take it away.

2🔗 Nevertheless the temple of God shall be built in your portion, and shall be glorious among you.

3🔗 For He shall take it, and the twelve tribes shall be gathered together there, and all the Gentiles, until the Most High shall send forth His salvation in the visitation of His only-begotten one.

4🔗 And He shall enter into the front of the temple, and there shall the Lord be treated with outrage, and He shall be lifted up upon a tree.

5🔗 And the veil of the temple shall be rent, and the Spirit of God shall descend upon the Gentiles as fire poured forth.

6🔗 And He shall arise from the grave, and shall ascend from earth into heaven: and I know how lowly He shall be upon the earth, and how glorious in the heaven.
