# The Oil of Mercy

Source: https://enocharchive.com/sacred-objects/oil-of-mercy (Enoch Archive).

When Adam fell into disease near the end of his life, he gathered his sons and daughters so that he might see them before he died. Seth offered to go to paradise for fruit that might ease his father’s trouble, but Adam explained that the affliction came from the forbidden plant of which he and Eve had eaten. Seth and Eve then went near paradise, wept, and besought God to send His angel and give them the oil of compassion.

God sent the archangel Michael, who told Seth not to weary himself with that prayer concerning the tree in which flows the oil meant to anoint Adam. Michael declared that the oil would not be granted then, but only at the last times.
