"MESSIAH & TRINITY IN SOME PSEUDEPIGRAPHA"


 

Greetings Doves;

     The pseudepigrapha also contain some interesting Messianic verses:

20 Zion has been taken away to hasten the Advent of the Judgment

 

20 1    'Therefore, behold! the days come,

        And the times shall hasten more than the former,

        And the seasons shall speed on more than those that are past,

        And the years shall pass more quickly than the present (years).

    2  Therefore have I now taken away Zion,

        That I may the more speedily visit the world in its season.

3   Now therefore hold fast in your heart everything that I command you,

      And seal it in the recesses of your mind.

4   And then I will show you the judgment of My might,

     And My ways which are unsearchable.

 

5 Go therefore and sanctify thyself seven days, and eat no bread, nor drink water, nor speak to anyone.  6 And afterwards come to that place and I will reveal Myself to you, and speak true things with you, and I will give you commandment regarding the method of the times; for they are coming and tarry not.'

 

1 Enoch 38:2-6

2. And when the Righteous One shall appear before the eyes of the righteous,

2. When righteousness shall be manifested in the presence of the righteous themselves,

 

Whose elect works hang upon the Lord of Spirits,

who will be elected for their good works duly weighed by the Lord of spirits;

 

And light shall appear to the righteous and the elect

and when the light of the righteous and the elect,

 

who dwell on the earth,

who dwell on earth,

 

 

shall be manifested;

 

Where then will be the dwelling of the sinners,

where will the habitation of sinners be?

 

And where the resting-place of those who have denied the Lord of Spirits?

And where the place of rest for those who have rejected the Lord of spirits?

 

It had been good for them if they had not been born.

It would have been better for them, had they never been born.

 

3. When the secrets of the righteous shall be revealed

3. When, too, the secrets of the righteous shall be revealed,

 

and the sinners judged,

then shall sinners be judged;

 

And the godless driven from the presence of the righteous and elect,

and impious men shall be afflicted in the presence of the righteous and the elect.

 

4. From that time those that possess the earth shall no longer be powerful and exalted:

4. From that period those who possess the earth shall cease to be powerful and exalted.

 

And they shall not be able to behold the face of the holy,

Neither shall they be capable of beholding the countenances of the holy;

 

For the Lord of Spirits

for the light of the countenances of the holy, the righteous, and the elect,

 

has caused His light to appear

has been seen by the Lord of spirits.

 

On the face of the holy, righteous, and elect.

 

 

5. Then shall the kings and the mighty perish

5. Yet shall not the mighty kings of that period be destroyed;

 

And be given into the hands of the righteous and holy.

but be delivered into the hands of the righteous and the holy.

 

And thenceforward none shall seek for themselves mercy from the Lord of Spirits

6. Nor thenceforwards shall any obtain commiseration from the Lord of spirits,

 

For their life is at an end.

because their lives in this world will have been completed.

 

 

     1 Enoch 49:2

2. For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness,

for potent is he in all the secrets of righteousness.

 

And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow,

2. But iniquity passes away like a shadow,

 

And have no continuance;

and possesses not a fixed station:

 

Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits,

for the Elect One stands before the Lord of spirits;

 

And his glory is for ever and ever,

and his glory is for ever and ever;

 

And his might unto all generations.

and his power from generation to generation.

 

 

The Psalms of Solomon Chapters 17 & 18 are also interesting; many verses are messianic as well as Trinitarian proving.
