Enoch has two great messages - a message to the sinners who do what is wicked and a message to the righteous who do what is right. To the sinner:
"Woe to you, ye sinners, when ye have died,
If ye die in the wealth of your sins,
And those who are like you say regarding you:
'Blessed are the sinners: they have seen all their days.
And how they have died in prosperity and in wealth,
And have not seen tribulation or murder in their life;
And they have died in honour,
And judgement has not been executed on them during their life."
(Book of Enoch chapter 103)
To the righteous:
"I swear unto you, that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great One. Be hopeful; for aforetime ye were put to shame through ill and affliction; but now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven, ye shall shine and ye shall be seen, and the portals of heaven shall be opened to you. And in your cry, cry for judgement, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you. Be hopeful, and cast not away your hopes for ye shall have great joy as the angels of heaven. What shall ye be obliged to do? Ye shall not have to hide on the day of the great judgement and ye shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal judgement shall be far from you for all the generations of the world. And now fear not, ye righteous, when ye see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways: be not companions with them, but keep afar from their violence; for ye shall become companions of the hosts of heaven. " (chapter 104)
In John 8 in the New Testament scriptures we see how the Son of Man bridges the gap between these two messages and tells those sinners in danger of dying in their sins that they must believe He is the Son of Man who existed before the time of Abraham and tells those who believe this that they must simply hold to His teachings "then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free" - free from what amounts to slavish service to sinning.
The reward of the righteous who are free - or freed - from sinning is manifold but one such benefit is seen in Enoch's relating of the events of what was to him future and to us past and present: The Holy Spirit to lead into all truth including truth related to the fundamental nature of all things (such as how it is all mysteriously controlled day to day by the power of the name of the Son of Man) :
chapter 93 verse 10 relates to the time of the latter part ("close") of the "seventh week" (and onwards)
v10
"And at its close shall be elected The elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness, To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation."
So truth consists of underatanding creation as the Holy Spirit teaches about it. And truth sets free from sinning. And elevates those set free.
