Enoch's Dream Visions

1 And now, my son Methuselah, I will show you all my visions which I have seen, recounting them for you. 2 I saw two visions before I got married, and each one was completely different from the other: the first was when I was learning to write; the second before I married your mother, when I saw a terrifying vision. 3 I prayed to the Lord about them. I was resting in the house of my grandfather Mahalalel when I saw in a vision that the sky collapsed, was torn away, and fell to the earth. 4 When it fell to the earth, I saw how the earth was swallowed by a great abyss, mountains were stacked upon mountains, hills fell onto hills, and tall trees were ripped from their trunks and thrown down, sinking into the abyss. 5 Then a word came to my lips, and I began to shout, saying: 'The earth is destroyed.' 6 My grandfather Mahalalel woke me as I lay beside him and asked me: 'Why are you crying so loudly, my son, and why are you lamenting?' 7 I told him the entire vision I had seen, and he said to me: 'You have seen a terrifying thing, my son, and your dream-vision reveals serious matters regarding the sins of the world: it must sink into the abyss and be utterly destroyed.' 8 And now, my son, get up and pray to the Lord of glory, for you are a believer,⁠a that a remnant may remain on the earth, and that He may not destroy the entire earth. 9 My son, all of this will come upon the earth from heaven, and there will be great destruction on earth. 10 After this, I stood up, prayed, pleaded, begged, and wrote down my prayer for the generations of the world, and I will show everything to you, my son Methuselah. 11 And when I went out below and saw the sky, and the sun rising in the east, and the moon setting in the west, and a few stars, and the whole earth, and everything as He had known it from the beginning, then I praised the Lord of judgment and extolled Him because He made the sun emerge from the windows of the east, and it ascended and rose over the face of the sky, and set out and kept traversing the path shown to it.
