My Favourite Passage of Scripture

Enoch Chapter 48 verses 1-5

[1] In that place I beheld a fountain of righteousness, which never failed, encircled by many springs of wisdom. Of these all the thirsty drank, and were filled with wisdom, having their habitation with the righteous, the elect, and the holy.

[2] In that hour was this Son of man invoked before the Lord of spirits, and his name in the presence of the Ancient of days.

[3] Before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were formed, his name was invoked in the presence of the Lord of spirits. A support shall he be for the righteous and the holy to lean upon, without falling; and he shall be the light of nations.

[4] He shall be the hope of those whose hearts are troubled. All, who dwell on earth, shall fall down and worship before him; shall bless and glorify him, and sing praises to the name of the Lord of spirits.

[5] Therefore the Elect and the Concealed One existed in his presence, before the world was created, and for ever.
