1 Enoch 106

Verse 8

“And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that I was there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice and I came to him.”

“he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that I was there”

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, “Noah” (the far away one… Utnapishtim) is said to live at the ends of the earth as well.  I wonder where this place is.

1 Enoch 83

1 Enoch 83

In this chapter Enoch begins to tells the story of his dream visions to Methuselah, his son.  He had his first vision when he was learning how to write; he says he was sleeping at his grandpa’s house.  As he was dreaming, he yelled out loud saying, “The earth is destroyed!” to which his grandpa comes, and Enoch explains everything.

1 Enoch 76

The chapter mentions the portals of the twelve winds.
According to the chapter, there are twelve portals (or positions)
from which the wind comes from.

According to this chapter, the "face" of the heavens is the east.
I suppose it is because that is the direction where all the cosmos move from.

There are three portals in each corner of the earth (North/East/South/West).
Four of the portals give winds of blessing, while eight of the portals give off hurtful winds.
The winds of blessing always come from the middle portal of each cardinal direction,
the "side" portals of each direction give off the hurtful winds.

The last verse of the chapter; the author mentions Methuselah as his son, as if he is telling to him what Uriel has showed him.
