Enoch's writing for the children of righteousness
Enoch addresses 'all my children, and to the future generations who shall observe uprightness and peace.' Blessed is the man who shall die in righteousness; let your spirit not be troubled at the times — He is righteous and will judge.

Cross-tradition
- Zoroastrian cosmic dualismThe division of world-history into ordered epochs in which good and evil contend for dominion shows cross-tradition congruence with Zoroastrian cosmic-historical schemas (bundahishn cycles of creation, struggle, and renewal).
- Babylonian / Mesopotamian week-of-worlds speculationThe scheme of ten Apocalyptic Weeks parceling cosmic time into morally graduated eras shows cross-tradition congruence with Mesopotamian traditions of world-age periodization known in Second Temple Jewish scribal circles.
- Pythagorean-Platonic number cosmologyThe structuring of historical fate in numbered, hierarchically ordered periods shows cross-tradition congruence with Pythagorean doctrines of temporal cycles governed by numerical proportion.

CHAPTER XCII.
1The book written by Enoch--[Enoch indeed wrote this complete doctrine of wisdom, (which is) praised of all men and a judge of all the earth] for all my children who shall dwell on the earth. And for the future generations who shall observe uprightness and peace.
2Let not your spirit be troubled on account of the times;
For the Holy and Great One has appointed days for all things.
3And the righteous one shall arise from sleep,
[Shall arise] and walk in the paths of righteousness, And all his path and conversation shall be in eternal goodness and grace.
4He will be gracious to the righteous and give him eternal uprightness,
And He will give him power so that he shall be (endowed) with goodness and righteousness. And he shall walk in eternal light.
5And sin shall perish in darkness for ever,
And shall no more be seen from that day for evermore.
