The things to come shortly, foreseen by the prophet Enoch, are especially glimpsed in chapters near the end of the Book of Enoch.
The Dream of the Beasts, as it is sometimes known, shows a time after the sequence of seventy shepherd reigns. There is good reason the last of these reigns is beginning now and will complete forty years from now. The period following is first marked by the rise of a he-goat figure who revives the righteous and defends the righteous oppressed from oppression and cannot be defeated even by a globally united opposition. There is what appears to be a kind of inquisition as the righteous are given a sword by which to strike out against wickedness. Then there is a time of judgement of the shepherds, these angels being thrown into fire for failing to protect the oppressed righteous. The righteous are also judged like this if found to be spiritually blind. Then an interesting thing happens. The whole organised structure of true religion is dismantled and replaced with something better. Then there is a period in which there is widespread turning of people towards this new structure, this house. Then there is great peace. All is well at last. The world obeys the righteous. The lord rises in power. The timing of this is clarified by comparing it with the prophecy of the ten weeks in the same part of the Book of Enoch near the end. There seems to have been a previous sword given to the righteous which might coincide with the Inquisition of the sixteenth century onwards. There is a turning to righteousness after centuries of apostasy and a following a period of growth of learning which might be around now. The coming judgement times seem to be coming soon. Within a century. Then a time of righteousness until the final judgement in around a thousand years from now. For now we seem to be facing rising oppression of the righteous for the next forty years until the he-goat appears as champion leader of the righteous, a sword is given to the righteous and then maybe a decade or more later when what seems to be the return of Christ happens and there is a judgment of both the righteous and the angelic shepherds who have invisibly ruled them. So the second half of this century seems to when so much that is apocalyptic will happen. Till then, oppression of the righteous.
