A Great Mystery of God

There is a great mystery of God that starts with Enoch's prayer following the first of his two dreams (in the Book of Enoch chapter 83 and following) - chapter 84
"5. And now, O God and Lord and Great King,
I implore and beseech Thee to fulfil my prayer,
To leave me a posterity on earth,
And not destroy all the flesh of man,
And make the earth without inhabitant,
So that there should be an eternal destruction.
6. And now, my Lord, destroy from the earth the flesh which has aroused Thy wrath,
But the flesh of righteousness and uprightness establish as a plant of the eternal seed,
And hide not Thy face from the prayer of Thy servant, O Lord.'"

It ends with God saying in Revelation "See I am making all things new".
