1 Enoch 1:9
4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai, ⌈And appear from His camp⌉ And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. 5 And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame 7 And the earth shall be ⌈wholly⌉ rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men). 8 But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall ⌈all⌉ be blessed. ⌈And He will help them all⌉, And light shall appear unto them, ⌈And He will make peace with them⌉. 9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of ⌈His⌉ holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy ⌈all⌉ the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works ⌈of their ungodliness⌉ which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners ⌈have spoken⌉ against Him.
Cassiodorus Comments on Jude
“Clouds,” he says, “without water; who do not possess in themselves the divine and fruitful word.” Wherefore, he says, “men of this kind are carried about both by winds and violent blasts.” “Trees,” he says, “of autumn, without fruit,”—unbelievers, that is, who bear no fruit of fidelity. “Twice dead,” he says: once, namely, when they sinned by transgressing, and a second time when delivered up to punishment, according to the predestined judgments of God; inasmuch as it is to be reckoned death, even when each one does not forthwith deserve the inheritance. “Waves,” he says, “of a raging sea.” By these words he signifies the life of the Gentiles, whose end is abominable ambition. “Wandering stars,”—that is, he means those who err and are apostates are of that kind of stars which fell from the seats of the angels—“to whom,” for their apostasy, “the blackness of darkness is reserved for ever. Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,” he says, “prophesied of these.” In these words he verities the prophecy. “Those,” he says, “separating” the faithful from the unfaithful, be convicted according to their own unbelief.
Notes and References
"... Eusebius is correct that earlier Christian writers interact with these five Catholic Epistles rather sparingly. Origen is the first to mention explicitly a second epistle of Peter, and while 2 John (and maybe even 3 John) had been used and cited even in the second century, Origen notes contemporary doubts about all three of these letters and does not quote them in his works extant in Greek. Origen makes extensive use of James and approves also of Jude. Clement of Alexandria quotes Jude a few times, and Tertullian so assumes the unimpeachable authority of Jude that he uses its citation of 1 Enoch 1:9 (Jude 14) as a proof for the inspiration of this latter text (De Cultu Feminarum 1.3), though Jerome reports that Jude's use of Enoch had led to doubts about Jude (De Viris Illustribus 4). Pre-Origenic use of James is more difficult to uncover, despite Eusebius's statement that Clement of Alexandria commented on the Catholic Epistles (Historia ecclesiastica 6.14.1). The relative brevity of each of these letters may have played a role in their poor attestation in pre-fourth-century sources ..."
