The Book of Enoch has prophecy for our time. It explains the wars going on today. The vision given to Enoch of the sheep being punished for deserting the Lord of the sheep and being blind to Him and to His temple, this vision foretold seventy periods of angelic rule, culminating in a day of divine wrath. The last of these angelic rulers would coincide with the next forty years today. Under this angel there is the last period of punishment. There is ongoing attacking of the sheep by surrounding beasts foretold in this ‘dream of the beasts’. It continues what began with the conquest of Samaria in ancient times. It has continued for sixty-nine of the seventy angelic periods, which fits with each period being forty years long. This means we are at the start of the last period of forty years. Then the wrath of God really begins in earnest. Revelation and the gospels foretell the time of the ultimate reign of the Christ following on from this brief time of terrible wrath. So just beyond the future wrath there is hope of resurrection of the worthy. But these wars must continue for a while. At the same time the Book of Revelation says saints will die and their souls will earnestly seek revenge, but will have to wait until this time is over, before God’s wrath avenges them.
