1Enoch Chapter 25
1 And he said unto me: 'Enoch, why dost
thou ask me regarding the fragrance of the tree, 2 and why dost thou wish
to learn the truth?' Then I answered him saying: 'I wish to 3 know about
everything, but especially about this tree.' And he answered saying:
'This
high mountain which thou hast seen, whose summit is like the throne of God, is
His throne,
where the Holy Great One, the
Lord of Glory, the Eternal King, will sit,
when He shall come down to visit 4
the earth with
goodness. 9 And as for this fragrant tree
no mortal is permitted to touch it till the great judgement, when He shall take
vengeance on all and bring (everything) to its consummation 5 for ever. It shall
then be given to the righteous and holy.
Its fruit shall be for food to the elect: it shall be transplanted to the holy
place, to the temple of the Lord,
(future temple info)
the Eternal King. 6 Then shall they
rejoice with joy and be glad, And into the holy place shall they enter; And its
fragrance shall be in their bones, And they shall live a long life on earth,
Such as thy fathers lived: And in their days shall no sorrow or plague Or
torment or calamity touch them.' 7 Then blessed I the God of Glory, the Eternal
King, who hath prepared such things for the righteous, and hath created them and
promised to give to them.
