This verse’s chapter, studied
Michael and Raphael Tremble at the Judgment
Enoch passes on the full teaching of "the book of the Parables" to Noah. Michael and Raphael then speak to each other about the severity of the judgment falling on the fallen angels, Michael declaring he will not intercede for them because they set themselves up "as if they were the Lord," so that their portion of judgment stands forever, shared by neither angel nor man.
