The Visit To The

Fourth Heaven

And

The Courses Of The Sun And Moon

Chapter 11

The Angels Take Enoch

Up On To The Fourth Heaven

Where The Course Of Sun And Moon Is

Those men took me, and led me up on to the Fourth Heaven, and showed me all the successive goings, and all the rays of the light of sun and moon (the fullness of the sun and all its brightness, in all directions; and the fullness of the moon and all its reflections of light). 2 And I measured their goings and compared their light, and saw that the sun's light is greater than the moon's light.

3 The sun’s circle (size or orbit?) and the wheels on which it goes always, like a wind going past with very marvelous speed, and day and night it has no rest. The sun is always in a swift motion, followed by monitoring Angels, who keep it in its orbit; all moving like a high speed rushing wind. Its passage and return are accompanied by four great stars, and each star has under it a thousand stars, to the right of the sun's wheel, and by four to the left, each having under it a thousand stars, altogether eight thousand, issuing with the sun continually.

5 And by day, fifteen myriads of Angels (Hosts of Angels) attend it, and by night a thousand. 6 And six-winged ones issue (six-winged ones? Issue?) with the Angels before the sun's wheel into the fiery flames, and a hundred Angels kindle the sun and set it alight.

The

Very Marvellous

Elements Of The Sun

And I looked and saw other flying elements of the sun, whose names are Phoenixes and Chalkydri, marvellous and wonderful, with feet and tails in the form of a lion, and a crocodile's head, their appearance is empurpled, like the rainbow (with shades of purple colours); their size is nine hundred measures, their wings are like those of Angels, each has twelve (wings?), and they attend and accompany the sun, bearing (enduring) heat and dew, as it is ordered them from God. 2 Thus the sun revolves and goes, and rises under the heaven, and its course goes under the earth with the light of its rays continuously, nonstop.

Chapter 13

The Angels Take Enoch

And Placed Him In The East At The Sun's Gates

Those men bore me away to the east, and placed me at the sun's gates, where the sun goes forth according to the regulation of the seasons and the circuit of the months of the whole year, and the number of the hours day and night.

2 And I saw six gates open, each gate having sixty-one stadia and a quarter of one stadium, and I measured them truly, and understood their size to be so much, through which the sun goes forth, and goes to the west, and is made even, and rises throughout all the months, and turns back again from the six gates according to the succession of the seasons; thus the period of the whole year is finished after the returns of the four seasons (cycle of winter, summer, spring and autum? Right order?).

Glorious Signs And Wonders Of The Sun

Inferior Civilization Of Humanity

Enoch: Son of man, it is for you people to understand. Humanity call themselves learned, but they cannot comprehend or imagine all the efforts and vibrations of the Angels, to ensure that the sun, moon and stars are moving in order; and they cannot understand the Mathematics, the calculations and considerations, by the Hosts of Angels, in their work to keep the sun, moon and stars in their right orbits – what humanity call Science and Technology is far less than, inferior to, what is child’s play in heaven.

Movement Of The Sun

Enoch: Son of man, in the Fourth Heaven, the sun makes all its movements, along its predefined orbit. It moves out, forward; and returns to its base, start point. The sun and it movement is like an electric bulb, full of light in the fullness of its brightness, which moves round the world, or moves in a great circle up in the sky. The sun and its movements are amazing, great signs and wonders.

Glorious Signs And Wonders

Enoch: All the signs and wonders are the reasons why people should thank God, from time to time, and bow down in worship of God. It is those who know about God, who after thinking, thinking and thinking, when they remember and consider the great and awesome works of God, they kneel down and worship God. They do so whether they have eaten or not, whether they are rich or poor. This is because God is indeed omniscient.

The Head: He is the God of Science and Technology.

The Head: What shall I tell you people, for you people to understand, until you see with your eyes. That is why the children of God are being asked to make efforts, because they have not yet seen anything.

Humanity are still talking of the vehicle, proudly speaking of all the things which they produce, but humanity have not yet produced anything. They have not yet achieved anything great and useful. None of human development is as glorious and beautiful as the things in heaven.

Enormous In Size

Enoch: Son of man, the gates are called the First Gate, Second Gate, or The Seventh Gate and Eight Gate. A gate that is even bigger than this world, earth.

The Head: The gate is very big and beautiful. A beauty that is also glorious.

Chapter 14

The Angels Take Enoch

To The West

And again those men led me away to the western parts, and showed me six great gates open corresponding to the Eastern gates, opposite to where the sun sets, according to the number of the days three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter.

2 Thus again it goes down to the western gates, and draws away its light, the greatness of its brightness, under the earth; for since the crown of its shining is in heaven with the Lord, and guarded by four hundred Angels, while the sun goes round on wheel under the earth, and stands seven great hours in night, and spends half its course under the earth. When it comes to the eastern approach in the eighth hour of the night, it brings its lights, and the crown of shining, and the sun flames forth more than fire.

Chapter 15

The Elements Of The Sun,

The Phoenixes And Chalkydri Broke Into Song

Then the elements of the sun, called Phoenixes and Chalkydri break into song, therefore every bird flutters with its wings, rejoicing at the giver of light, and they broke into song at the command of the Lord.

2 The giver of light comes to give brightness to the whole world, and the morning guard takes shape, which is the rays of the sun, and the sun of the earth goes out, and receives its brightness to light up the whole face of the earth, and they showed me this calculation of the sun's going.

3 And the gates which it enters, these are the great gates of the computation of the hours of the year; for this reason the sun is a great creation, whose circuit lasts twenty-eight years, and begins again from the beginning.
