Advancing the Revelation of Truth
THE APOCALYPSE OF WEEKS
TAKEN FROM THE BOOK OF ENOCH
This is copied directly from the translation by R.H.Charles [ISBN 1-56459-523-4]
[Chapter 93]
1,2 And after that Enoch both gave and began to recount from the books. And Enoch said:
' Concerning the children of righteousness and concerning the elect of
the world,
And concerning the plant of uprightness, I will speak these
things,
Yea, I Enoch will declare (them) unto you, my sons:
According to that which appeared to me in the heavenly vision,
And
which I have known through the word of the holy angels,
And have learnt
from the heavenly tablets.'
3 And Enoch began to recount from the books and said:
' I was born
the seventh in the first week,
While judgement and righteousness still
endured.
**
4 And after me there shall arise in
the second week great
wickedness,
And deceit shall have sprung up;
And in it there shall
be the first end.
And in it a man shall be saved;
And after it is ended
unrighteousness shall grow up,
And a law shall be made for the
sinners.
**
5. And after that in the third week at its close
A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement,
And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.
6 And after that in
the fourth week, at its close, 7 And after that in the fifth week, at its close, 8 And after that in
the sixth week all who live in it shall be
blinded, And in it a man shall ascend; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE
by gtm: Following the end of this sixth week, at the time of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, the
Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians at Ephesus, introducing them to God's new Administration, in which all of His
relationships with mankind would be based only upon His Grace. Details of this
are found in chapter three. Paul tells us that there was no knowledge of this
Administration up to that time, because it had been 'Hid In God'. Enoch would
not therefore have been able to include it in this Apocalypse. The seventh week
begins when this Administration of God's Grace closes. Taking account of this
hidden addition,
each week can now be recognised as representing seven hundred years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 And after that in
the seventh week shall an apostate generation
arise, 10 And at its close shall be elected
11. [For who is there of all the children of men that is able to hear
the voice of the Holy One without being troubled ?
And who can think His
thoughts ?
and who is there that can behold all the works
of heaven ?
12. And how should there be one who could behold the heaven,
and who is there
that could understand the things of heaven and see a soul or a spirit and
could tell thereof, or ascend and see 13 all their ends and think them or
do like them ?
13. And who is there of all men that could know what is the
breadth and the length of the earth, and to whom has been shown the
measure of all of them ?
14. Or is there any one who could discern the
length of the heaven and how great is its height, and upon what it is
founded, and how great is the number of the stars, and where all the
luminaries rest ?] [Chapter 91] 12 And after that there shall be another,
the eighth week, that of
righteousness, s14a And after that, in the ninth week, the righteous judgement shall be revealed to the whole world,
visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen,
And a law for all
generations
And an enclosure shall be made for them.
the house of glory
and dominion shall be built for ever.
And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake
wisdom.
And
at its close the house of dominion
shall be burnt with fire,
And the whole race of the chosen root shall
be dispersed.
And many shall be its deeds,
And all its deeds shall be
apostate.
The elect righteous of the
eternal plant of righteousness,
to receive sevenfold instruction
concerning all His creation.
And a sword shall be given to it that a righteous
judgement may be executed on the oppressors,
And sinners shall be
delivered into the hands of the righteous.
** 13. And at its close they shall acquire houses through their
righteousness, And a house shall be built for the Great King in glory for evermore,
b And all the works of the godless shall vanish from all the earth,
c And the world shall be written down for destruction.
** 14d And all mankind shall look to the path of uprightness.
15
And after this, in
the tenth week in the seventh part,
There
shall be the great eternal judgement, In which He will execute
vengeance amongst the angels.
16 And the first heaven shall depart and pass away,
and a new heaven shall appear,
And all the powers of the heavens shall give sevenfold
light
Note by gtm. Again, following the end of these ten weeks of the Apocalypse we are told by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians that there is to be an Administration 'at the completion of times God will gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; even in Him'. This was a revelation made known at that time in 69ad and again, would have not been revealed to Enoch.
17
And after that there will be many weeks without number for
ever,
And all shall be in goodness and righteousness,
And sin shall
no more be mentioned for ever.
* * A It has been necessary to give attention to the way these two stanzas have been arranged by Mr. R.H.Charles because
of their imbalance....six lines in the first and three lines in the second.
based upon the conviction that each 'week' is a period of 700 years, the phrase 'the first end' [indicating the Universal Flood] should be part of the second stanza, i.e. part of the third week, not the second.
T
he facts concerning this period of time given in the Book of Genesis, including the years from Adam's sin, can be shown as follows:
Taking each phrase which begins with the
conjunction 'And'
[Heb: qal],
without alteration, each stanza is now aligned with the true facts
of the Genesis record, with four lines in each stanza:
4 And after me there shall arise in the
second week great wickedness,
The
zero date is the year in which Adam sinned. Enoch
is the man who was saved when he was 365 years old The
Universal Flood occurred 1656 years after Adam sinned in the Third Week of
the Apocalypse. Abraham
is the elected plant of Righteous Judgement:
And deceit shall have sprung up;
And in it a man shall be saved;
And a law shall be made for the sinners.
And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up,
And at its close A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement,
And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. GEN 18:18
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because thou hast obeyed my voice. GEN 22:15
At the time of 'this thing' Isaac would have been about twelve years old, making Abraham 112 years old, 2060 years after the sin of Adam.
B.
The events described in verse 13 are not in the correct sequence according to
the history outlined in The Revelation. The verse has therefore been placed in
its correct position at the termination of events according to chapters 21 and
22 of that book.
13 And a house shall be built for the Great King in glory
for evermore, C.
And at its close they shall acquire houses through their
righteousness,
These three adjustments, A B C are incorporated in the following table according to the confirmation revealed in the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
TABLE
All the events and activities described by Enoch in his Apocalypse of Weeks can be shown in chart form with their dates and corresponding references in the Old and New Testament. The dates of future events beyond The Thousand year 'personal presence' i.e. the parousia of The Christ are speculative because no times are given in the O.T. or the N.T. For example, There seems to be no length of time given for The Little Season when Satan is released upon the earth.
The dates are according to the tables detailed on these pages
