 of years, from all eternity. Behold thou art one in me, a son of God; and thus may all become my sons. Amen."

"And it came to pass that Enoch continued his speech, saying, behold, our father Adam taught these things, and many have believed and become the sons of God, and many have believed not, and perished in their sins, and are looking forth with fear, in torment, for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God to be poured out upon them. And from that time forth Enoch began to prophesy, saying unto the people, that, as I was journeying, and stood upon the place Manhujah, I cried unto the Lord; and there came a voice out of the heaven, saying, turn ye, and get ye upon the mount Simeon. And it came to pass that I turned and went upon the mount; and as I stood upon the mount, I beheld the heavens open, and I was clothed upon with glory, and I saw the Lord: he stood before my face, and he talked with me, even as a man talks one with another, face to face; and he said unto me, look, and I will shew unto you the world for the space of many generations.

And it came to pass that I beheld the valley Shum, and lo, a great people which dwelt in tents, which were the people of Shum. And again the Lord said unto me, look; and I looked towards the north, and I beheld the people of Canaan, which dwelt in tents. And the Lord said unto me, prophesy; and I prophesied, saying, behold the people of Canaan, which are numerous, shall go forth in battle array against the people of Shum, and shall slay them that they shall be utterly destroyed; and the people of Canaan shall divide themselves in the land, and the land shall be barren and unfruitful, and none other people shall dwell there but the people of Canaan; for behold the Lord shall curse the land with much heat, and the barrenness thereof shall go forth forever; and there was blackness came upon all the children of Canaan, that they were despised among all people.

And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me, look; and I looked and beheld the land of Sharon, and the land of Enoch, and the land of Omner, and the land of Heni, and the land of Shem, and the land of Haner, and the land of Hanannihah, and all the inhabitants thereof; and the Lord said unto me, go to this people and say unto them, repent, lest I come out and smite them with a curse, and they die. And he gave unto me a command­ment that I should baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, which is full of grace and truth, and the Holy Spirit, which bears record of the Fa­ther and the Son.

And it came to pass that Enoch continued to call upon all the people, save it were the people of Canaan, to repent; and so great was the faith of Enoch, that he led the people of God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he spake the word of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the moun­tains fled, even according to his command; and the rivers of water were turned out of their course; and the roar of the lion was heard out of the wilderness; and all nations feared greatly, so powerful was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of language which God had given him.
