Book of Enoch 49

Ethiopic

In those days the earth shall give up from her womb, and the subterranean world give up from hers what it contains, and the abyss shall give again that which it is indebted.

2He shall separate the righteous and holy from among them, for the day of their redemption has appeared.

3And in those days the Elect One shall sit upon his throne, while every secret of instructing wisdom shall come forth out of his mouth, for the Lord of spirits has endowed and glorified him.

4In those days the mountains shall skip like rams, and the hills shall hop like young sheep satisfied with milk, and all the righteous shall become angels in heaven.

5Their faces shall shine with joy, for in those days the Elect One shall be exalted, the earth shall rejoice, the righteous shall inhabit it, and the elect go and walk upon it.
