“In the tomb with the body and in Hades with the soul, in Paradise with the thief and on the throne with the Father and the Spirit, wast Thou, O boundless Christ, filling all things.”
― Paul and the Apocalyptic Imagination

“In this introduction, we see motifs and ideas that are classic elements of an apocalyptic worldview: a human who receives a divine vision (in this case, Enoch); this vision is a mystery of heavenly wisdom that has not been revealed before; and the seer who receives the vision recounts it to others on earth so that they might understand the true nature of things.”

“This Son of Man continues to have a significant role in the Parables of Enoch: he is named by God (1 En. 48:2–8), sits on a “throne of glory” (45:3; 61:8; 62–63; 69:26–29), and judges the unrighteous and sinners while saving the righteous (51:5; 62–63; 69:26–29). One of the more descriptive judicial scenes is in 1 Enoch 62–63, where the kings and mighty of the earth fall down on their faces, helplessly hoping to receive mercy from the Son of Man at the final eschatological assize.”
