AFTERWARDS the Ancient of Days sighed, and said, In vain have I destroyed all the inhabitants of the earth.
And he swore by his great name: Henceforward I will not act thus towards all those who dwell upon earth.
But I will place a sign in the heavens; and it shall be a faithful witness between me and them forever, as long as the days of heaven and earth last upon the earth.
Afterwards, according to this my decree, when I shall be disposed to seize them beforehand, by the instrumentality of angels, in the day of affliction and trouble, my wrath and my punishment shall remain upon them, my punishment and my wrath, says Elohiym Yahuah Tseva'oth.
O you kings, O you mighty, who inhabit the world you shall behold my Elect One, sitting upon the throne of my glory. And he shall judge Aza'zel, all his associates, and all his hosts, in the name of Yahuah Tseva'oth.
There likewise I beheld hosts of angels who were moving in punishment, confined in a network of iron and brass. Then I inquired of the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, To whom those under confinement were going.
He said, To each of their elect and their beloved, that they may be cast into the fountains and deep recesses of the valley.
And that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved; the days of whose life shall be consumed, but the days of their error shall be innumerable.
Then shall angels combine together, and conspire. The chiefs of the east, among the Parthians and Medes, shall remove kings, in whom a ruach of perturbation shall enter. They shall hurl them from their thrones, springing as lions from their dens, and like famished wolves into the midst of the flock.
They shall go up, and tread upon the land of their elect. The land of their elect shall be before them. The threshing floor, the path, and the city of my righteous shall impede their horses. They shall rise up to destroy each other; their right hand shall be strengthened; nor shall a man acknowledge his friend or his brother;
Nor the son his father and his mother; until the number of the dead bodies is their death and punishment. Neither shall this take place without cause.
In those days shall the mouth of She'ol be opened, into which they shall be immerged; She'ol shall destroy and swallow up sinners from the face of the elect.
