Trees are mysterious examples of the resilience of Nature. They defy the odds by half dying every year then coming back into full leaf in spring. The Book of Enoch is like this too. So is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. When God through the authority given Jesus brings things to life they can live even though they appear to die. They come back. This is God’s doing so often in the things around us. Who would have thought leaving the Book of Enoch out of printed Bibles from the Reformation early years till today would fail to kill off faith that it is truly holy scripture. Likewise after centuries of Western Christianity thinking that the Holy Spirit manifestations and dominion in church life had been only for the first two centuries of the Early Church, now these manifestations are back in some church meetings here and there. These buds of new life all consistently tell the power of God in Nature and the way that such power is tied so closely to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. See Enoch chapter 5.
“Observe how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give ye heed with regard to all, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so. And His works go on from year to year for ever, and all the tasks they accomplish for Him, and change not, but according as hath ordained so is it done.”
