The Store-Chambers of Blessing Thrown Open
Enoch closes the judgment narrative with a short promise: God will open the heavenly store-chambers of blessing over the labor of mankind, and truth and peace will be joined together for every generation to come.
- Deuteronomy 28:12 : "The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure" pictures the same store-chamber of blessing opened over faithful labor.
