The Book of Life

“And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which was the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” (Bible, Revelation 20:12, New International Version)

The following passage has been taken from Richard Laurence (1995) The Book of Enoch the Prophet, San Diego: Wizards Bookshelf, 80:1-3

“[The angel Uriel] said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven has gradually dropped down (distilled); and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it.

“Then I looked on all which was written, and [I] understood all, reading the book and everything written in it, all the works of man;

“And of all the children of flesh upon earth, during the generations of the world.”
