On that day shall raise one voice, and bless and glorify and exalt in the spirit of faith, and in the spirit of wisdom, and in the spirit of patience, and in the spirit of mercy, and in the spirit of judgement and of peace, and in the spirit of goodness, and shall all say with one voice: "Blessed is He, and may the name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed for ever and ever."

Cords to Measure the Righteous

Enoch sees angels given long cords and wings to fly north to "measure", bringing "the measures of the righteous" to the righteous, so that even those lost in the desert, devoured by beasts, or drowned in the sea will be accounted for and returned "on the day of the Elect One." The Lord of Spirits then seats "the Elect One" on the throne of glory to judge the works of the holy, and the full heavenly host, Cherubin, Seraphin, Ophannin, and every rank of angel, is summoned to bless His name.
