Thou Art the Son of Man: Enoch's Ascent and the Book's Most Debated Verse
In a first-person vision, Enoch's spirit is carried up into the heavens, where he sees angelic "sons of God" stepping on flames, a crystal structure ringed with living fire, and the full ranks of Cherubin, Seraphin, and Ophannin guarding the throne. Michael leads him further in, and Enoch sees "the Head of Days," His head "white and pure as wool." Overwhelmed and transfigured, Enoch falls on his face: and an angel greets him with words that have divided readers for a century: "This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness," promising Enoch peace and an unending place with him forever.
