18:1
I then surveyed the receptacles of all the winds, perceiving that they contributed to adorn the whole creation, and [to preserve] the foundation of the earth.
18:2
I surveyed the stone [which supports] the corners of the earth.
18:3
I also beheld the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the firmament of heaven.
18:4
And I beheld the winds occupying the exalted sky.
18:5
Arising in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven.
18:6
I saw the winds which turn the sky, which cause the orb of the sun and of all the stars to set; and over the earth I saw the winds which support the clouds.
18:7
I saw the path of the angels.
18:8
I perceived at the extremity of the earth the firmament of heaven above it. Then I passed on towards the south;
18:9
Where burnt, both by day and night, six mountains formed of glorious stones; three towards the east, and three towards the south.
18:10
Those which were towards the east were of a variegated stone; one of which was of margarite, and another of antimony. Those towards the south were of a red stone. The middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God; [a throne composed] of alabaster, the top of which was of sapphire. I saw, too, a blazing fire hanging over all the mountains.
18:11
And there I saw a place on the other side of an extended territory, where waters were collected.
18:12
I likewise beheld terrestrial fountains, deep in the fiery columns of heaven.
18:13
And in the columns of heaven I beheld fires, which descended without number, but neither on high, nor into the deep. Over these fountains also I perceived a place which had neither the firmament of heaven above it, nor the solid ground underneath it; neither was there water above it; nor anything on wing; but the spot was desolate.
18:14
And there I beheld seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating me.
18:15
Then the angel said, This place, until the consummation of heaven and earth, will be the prison of the stars, and the host of heaven.
18:16
The stars which roll over fire are those which transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they came not in their proper season. Therefore was He offended with them, and bound them, until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year.
1. I saw the treasuries of all the winds: I saw how He had furnished with them the whole creation and the firm foundations of the earth.
2. And I saw the corner-stone of the earth: I saw the four winds which bear [the earth and] the firmament of the heaven.
3. And I saw how the winds stretch out the vaults of heaven, and have their station between heaven and earth: these are the pillars of the heaven.
4. I saw the winds of heaven which turn and bring the circumference of the sun and all the stars to their setting.
5. I saw the winds on the earth carrying the clouds: I saw the paths of the angels. I saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above. And I proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven mountains of magnificent stones, three towards the east, and three towards the south.
7. And as for those towards the east, one was of coloured stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those towards the south of red stone.
8. But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and the summit of the throne was of sapphire.
9. And I saw a flaming fire. And beyond these mountains.
10. is a region the end of the great earth: there the heavens were completed.
11. And I saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I saw columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards the height and towards the depth.
12. And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place.
13. I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains, and to me, when I inquired regarding them,
14. The angel said: 'This place is the end of heaven and earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven.
15. And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the beginning of their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times.
16. And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated (even) for ten thousand years.
1 And I saw the storehouses of all the winds, and I saw how with them He has adorned all creation, and I saw the foundations of the Earth.
2 And I saw the cornerstone of the Earth. And I saw the four winds which support the Earth and the sky.
3 And I saw how the winds stretch out the height of Heaven, and how they position themselves between Heaven and Earth; they are the Pillars of Heaven.
4 And I saw the winds which turn the sky and cause the disc of the Sun and all the stars to set.
5 And I saw the winds on the Earth which support the clouds and I saw the paths of the Angels. I saw at the end of the Earth; the firmament of
Heaven above.
6 And I went towards the south, and it was burning day and night, where there were seven mountains of precious stones, three towards the east and three towards the south.
7 And those towards the east were of coloured stone, and one was of pearl, and one of healing stone; and those towards the south, of red stone.
8 And the middle one reached to Heaven, like the throne of the Lord, of stibium, and the top of the throne was of sapphire.
9 And I saw a burning fire, and what was in all the mountains.
10 And I saw a place there, beyond the great earth; there the waters gathered together.
11 And I saw a deep chasm of the earth, with pillars of heavenly fire, and I saw among them fiery pillars of Heaven, which were falling, and as regards both height and depth, they were immeasurable.
12 And beyond this chasm, I saw a place, and it had neither the sky above it, nor the foundation of earth below it; there was no water on it, and no birds, but it was a desert place.
13 And a terrible thing I saw there, seven stars, like great burning mountains.
14 And like a spirit questioning me, the Angel said: “This is the place of the end of Heaven and Earth; this is the prison for the Stars of Heaven and the Host of Heaven.
15 And the stars which roll over the fire, these are the ones which transgressed the command of the Lord, from the beginning of their rising, because they did not come out at their proper times.
16 And He was angry with them, and bound them until the time of the consummation of their sin, in the Year of Mystery.”
1 Enoch 18:1
I saw the treasuries of all the winds, I saw how He had furnished with them the whole creation and the firm foundations of the earth.
There exist Storehouses that are referred to as "Treasures of all the winds."Through them, the Winds are better understood as both "Treasures" and "Ornaments" used in furnishing or adorning the entire creation and foundations of the earth.
Thus, the winds implement both beauty and support to creations, and the winds are"Furnitures" in mobility and "Ornaments" in nobility. Behold the Lord brings forth Wind out of its treasures, which serves as Storehouses to those Winds: Even Winds haveStorage Facilitiesmade for them, meaning there are homes or facilities built for them, which are strong enough to contain them.
[Psalms 135:7] — He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries [Storehouses].
[Jeremiah 10:13] — When He utters His voice, There is a multitude of waters in the heavens: “And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries (Storehouses).”
1 Enoch 18:2
And I saw the corner—stone of the earth, I saw the four winds which bear the firmament of the heaven.
Irrespective of what the Scientists have seen and said to us about the earth being "Spherical or Round," we believe the Lord's Prophets who saw and bore witness that the earth has "Cornerstone" and has "Four Quarters."
Both the"Four Quarters of the earth and Four Quarters of the Heavenly Firmament" include the "East, West, North and South." And according to this Enoch Verse above, there are basically Four Winds at the Four Quarters of both the Earth and the Firmament of heaven, bearing the Firmament of the heaven.
[Jeremiah 49:36] — "And on Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come."
Hence there are nations at the four quarters of the earth:
[Revelation 20:8] — "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."
1 Enoch 18:3
And I saw how the winds stretch out the vaults of heaven, and have their station between heaven and earth: these are the pillars of the heaven.
In Genesis 1:7, "God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so."
It was so meant it remained so, which meant God used the Four Winds to support the division of the Suspended Floor (Firmament) ceiling from the earth. This makes those Four Winds — Pillars (Columns) of the heaven (Firmament), on which the upper load bearing slab and beams beneath the upper waters rest.
The only thing that shakes these pillars of heaven is the Lord's Rebuke or Word against it. As it is written,
[Job 26:11] — "The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His reproof."
Same with the "Pillars of the Earth" that tremble at His rebuke also [Job 9:6]. God bears the pillars of the earth even when they are not bearing the earth on them.
[Psalms 75:2-8] — "When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He puts down one, and sets up another. For in the Hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and He pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them."
[1 Samuel 2:7-9] — "The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, and lifts up. He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and He has set the world on them. He will keep the feet of His saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail."
1 Enoch 18:4
I saw the winds of heaven which turn and bring the circumference of the sun and aid the stars to their setting.
Scientists may have told you that the sun travels/revolves around its orb or orbit, but may not have told you or seen the winds that make the Sun and Stars keep moving through their circumferences, orbits or paths. Does the Sun have legs or moving capacity without the Winds? These are silent and invisible winds that are as faithful as the rising and setting of the sun, because they empower those daily routines.
Therefore, the Sun and Stars are driven with the help of the Winds, that adorn or furnish the creations of God.
1 Enoch 18:5
I saw the winds on the earth carrying the clouds: I saw the paths of the angels.
There are "Conveyors, Elevators or Lifts" in the creation of God, formed with just the clouds and the winds. Unlike the mechanism of a man-made lift, elevator or conveyor system, that depends on both electrical and mechanical engineering of Pulley and Chains; theClouds on the other hand are powered with the Winds.
The Clouds, like the Birds, fly on the Winds. Without the Winds, Clouds may not fly or rise without support. This is different from the mechanism that operates airplanes or aircrafts, for the clouds do not propel in order to move but they just get carried by the winds and driven by the minds of those steering them. Nevertheless, the airplanes fly like the clouds. Therefore, the Clouds are "Chariots or Wings of the Wind" powered by the winds.
[Psalms 104:3-4] — "He lays the beams of His chambers in the waters: He makes the clouds His chariot: He walks on the wings of the wind: He makes His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire:"
There are pathways of the angels through the Winds, including their Doorways and Portals through the Winds' Currents. By these Pathways and Doorways, Angels could appear and disappear in different realms in no time significantly. Through those parts, angels could be or go to places in less than a second, that should have taken ordinary men thousands of years or hundreds of light-years to reach.
1 Enoch 18:6
I saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above and I proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven mountains of magnificent stones.
Where the earth ended, there still existed the Firmament of the heaven above it. This meant the span or stretch of the firmament of heaven is not according to the span or stretch of the earth beneath it. The firmament stretched out even over places and spaces that have no earth or deep beneath it.
[Job 26:7] — "He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth on nothing."
As Enoch proceeded, he saw a place that burns day and night, and there are seven mountains of magnificent stones there. Scientists may call that place a planet, but they have not discovered there yet. It's a place where the fire is not quenched nor put out either during the day or during the night.
If I am to give that place a name, I will call that "Refinery." By virtue of the burning, the stones there forming the Seven Mountains are refined Stones and they are Precious Stones.
However, there's a city that seats on a different "Seven Mountains" in the Bible. These are not same or related to the Seven Mountains in the Refinery. Instead they are seven unrefined mountain-heads on which Fornication sits enthroned and thrives:
[Revelation 17:9] — "And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits."
1 Enoch 18:7
Three towards the east, and three towards the south. And as for those towards the east, was of coloured stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those towards the south of red stone.
Three of the Seven Mountains in that Refinery were situated towards the East, and another Three of the Seven Mountains were at the South. They were facing themselves in opposite directions, but aligned in "L-Shape" in "South-East."
Those three Mountains in the East have differs coloration and different appearance in spectrum or spectra.
*1*One of the Eastern Threefold Mountains was a "Colored-Mountain" instead of being a Burnt Mountain by reason of the burning fire.
*2*Another of the Eastern Threefold Mountains was a "Pearl-Mountain" instead of being a Burnt Mountain by reason of the burning fire. As Pearl (Margarite), the Mountain is basically a great Gem with various precious and ornamental colors and light spectra.
[Matthew 13:45-46] — "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."
*3*Another of the Eastern Threefold Mountains was a "Jacinth-Mountain" instead of being a Burnt Mountain by reason of the burning fire. Jacinth is Stibnite or Antimony, meaning Jacinth is Crystal with Orange coloration.
Those other three Mountains in the South have same coloration of "Red Mountains" instead of being a Burnt Mountains by reason of the burning fire.
Remember the burning bush Moses saw was burning but was not burnt. When God's Burning turns a Mountain into a Burnt Mountain, it implies the Lord burning does not respect that Mountain it burnt.
[Jeremiah 51:25-26] — "Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, said the LORD, which destroy all the earth: and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain. And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever, said the LORD."
1 Enoch 18:8
But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and the summit of the throne was of sapphire.
The Seventh Mountain is the Middle Mountain that is exalted as the Throne of God, and as a Platform for the Throne of God to sit. The Ornament and Perfume of this Mountain were Alabaster, and the Top of this Mountain, that is Throne on the summit, was Pure Sapphire.
This Mountain was"Alabaster and Sapphire - Mountain" instead of being a Burnt Mountain by reason of the burning fire.
Lucifer, in his deception, thought he could sit in such a Mountain of the Congregation in the side of the North, sitting on his throne on such Mountain, trying to be like the Most High.
[Isaiah 14:13-14] — "For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also on the mountain of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
1 Enoch 18:9
And I saw a blazing fire, hanging over all the mountains.
These Mountains have Flaming or Blazing Fire over them, and Fire is the Ceiling over the Refinery.
1 Enoch 18:10
And I saw a place there, beyond the great earth; there the waters gathered together.
Beyond these Seven Mountains far beyond where the earth ended, there is a region in the extension of the Firmament of heaven, where the Waters were collected and gathered.
Enoch 18:11
And I saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I saw columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards the height and towards the depth.
I likewise beheld terrestrial fountains, deep in the fiery columns of heaven. And in the columns of heaven I beheld fires, which descended without number, but neither on high, nor into the deep.
There are"Tunnels" or"Hollow-Conduits" that are like Columns or Pillars but tube-like. Those Tunnels are Conduits of heavenly fire that descend or fall like rain in the size of pillars towards the deep or abyss beneath. The Abyss is like terrestrial fountain, but are "Bottomless Pits" because the pillars of fire that descend through the Tunnels kept falling without reaching the bottom/base nor reaching an end to the falling.
Scientists may have seen some of these Tunnels and called them,"Black Holes" or"Dark Matter" because of the gravitational anomalies associated with the mysteries of such holes or tunnels.
Enoch 18:12
And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place.
Over these fountains also I perceived a place which had neither the firmament of heaven above it, nor the solid ground underneath it; neither was there water above it; nor anything on wing; but the spot was desolate.
People have come to know a place called "Bermuda Triangle" in the seas, where no flying or sailing object is allowed to cross over. Behold, there's a place worse than Bermuda Triangle, because that place would not even have a Firmament of heaven or space above it unlike Bermuda Triangle, neither can any flying object (whether angel, bird, aircraft, cloud or star) hover or go through it. And unlike Bermuda Triangle that allows water, this one does not allow even water in any where around it. And worst of all that place does not allow earth or ground anywhere in it. Therefore, that place is both desolate and horrible place. It's a place, but not a ground and not a space: There, the earth or ground is both formless and void, and the firmament of heaven is formless and void, so also the waters are formless and void. Therefore, that place is Waste.
Let me give that place a name: I call it"FORMLESS-PLACE."
Enoch 18:13
I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains, and motioning to me, when I inquired regarding them.
Unfortunately, Seven Stars were trapped in that place, and were unable to escape from there. Even these Seven Stars were begging Enoch for help to get out of that horrible formlessing and voiding place.
Those stars still retained their great glories and burning brilliance, but they lost their freedom or movement in that place; and they have no helper or savior to deliver them from there.
Enoch 18:14
The angel said: “This place is the end of heaven and earth. This has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven.
The Angel said: “This is the place of the end of Heaven and Earth; this is the prison for the Stars of Heaven and the Host of Heaven.
Though God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning, the earth was formless and void in the beginning, and so also where the earth and heaven is formless and void marks the end to the heavens and the earth.
The same place that ended the Firmament of heaven, ended the earth, ended the existing of waters, ended the existing of height or depth, also became Prison or Dungeon for the Stars and Host of heaven.
Stars and Host of heaven operate with the consciousness and knowledge that there's a place called"Prison" or "Jail" for them if they commit offense against the God. Even so, we human beings ought to walk and operate with a mind of knowing there's a place called "Hell" and "Death" for any of us who offend God. No living Being with higher intelligence lack that consciousness of the penalty and place for punishment for sin against God, including Adam that got to bear that knowledge of death if he eats of the forbidden Tree against the Word of God in the Garden. There's always existed Dungeon or Prison for Sinners, for angels, for stars, for host of heaven, and for mankind. Therefore live carefully.
Enoch 18:15
And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the beginning of their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times.
The stars which roll over fire are those which transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they came not in their proper season.
Seven Stars transgressed the Commandment of God even before Adam and Eve did or before the fallen angels did transgress against God. They were therefore set as examples for other stars.
These Seven Stars' sin was to despise the ordinance of God who made and exalted them to become Stars, and they failed to obey the Lord's Command for them to report to their duty posts in their own shifts and fields. They wereSeven Rebellious Stars.
There are also another Seven Stars the Lord gave Sound warning to, while He held those Seven Stars in His Right Hand. As written:
[Revelation 1:20] - "The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches."
Enoch 18:16
And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated for ten thousand years.”
And He was angry with them, and bound them until the time of the consummation of their sin, in the Year of Mystery.”
