The Location of God and the Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch encourages us to think of an actual place with fire and crystals where God is enthroned. It might be inside a real high mountain somewhere visited by Enoch and possibly even known to others who were around at that time, perhaps hearing of it from Enoch. We might struggle with it. A psalm might be translated: “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?” It might be an expression of this struggle to ponder God when the geographical location of His throne is no longer well known. The answer seems to be for the psalmist the same as it can be for us: “My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth”. We might falter to think where the help we need comes from. The answer is to be certain WHO it comes from.
