2 Enoch 55

Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

W.R. Morfill, translated from the Slavonic, 1896 (Oxford); short-recension chapter division. These texts are not endorsed in any LDS canon — see framing.

1My children, behold, the day of my term and time have approached.

2For the angels who shall go with me are standing before me and urge me to my departure from you; they are standing here on earth, awaiting what has been told them.

3For to-morrow I shall go up on to heaven, to the uppermost Jerusalem to my eternal inheritance.

4Therefore I bid you do before the Lord's face all (his) good pleasure.

Public-domain text. Pseudepigrapha are extra-canonical witnesses to the Second Temple and early Christian worlds; read with discernment. The Apocrypha endorsement in D&C 91 does not extend to these texts.
