Chapter 69: The Revelation of the Hidden Things and Enoch's Translation

And the Word of the Lord came unto me, saying: 'Enoch, go forth from the sons of men, for thy days are fulfilled, and the Lord hath called thee to himself.'

And I was taken up in the whirlwind, and my spirit ascended into the heavens, and I saw the mysteries of the stars and the secrets of the angels.

And I was shown the foundations of the earth, and the pillars upon which it stands, and the waters which flow beneath.

And the Lord said unto me: 'Enoch, thou hast been made a witness of my glory, and thou shalt remain in heaven forever as a testimony to the sons of men.'

And I was transformed, and my flesh became as the flesh of the angels, and I saw myself surrounded by the glory of the Lord.

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying: 'Thou shalt be called Metatron, the Prince of Presence, and thou shalt stand before my throne in eternity.'
