Escape from the Prince of Evil

For just as from one Adam the race of men was multiplied over the earth, so one depravity of passion infiltrated the entire human race. The prince o evil is thus able to sift all of them by continued crass, vain and passionate thoughts...he fills every soul with a dark ignorance, blindness and forgetfulness. Only those escape him who have been reborn from above and have been transported in mind and heart to another world, as it is said, "Our citizenship is in Heaven" (Phil. 3:20).

Macarius-Symeon, Homily 5.3 (George Maloney translation, 1992, p. 64)

On the Son of Man

And at that hour that the Son of Man was named
In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,
And his name before the Head of Days.

Yeah, before the sun and the signs were created,
Before the stars of the heaven were made,
His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,
And he shall be a light to the Gentiles,
And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.

All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him,
And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.

...

And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne,
And his mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel:
For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to him and hath glorified him.

I Enoch 48:2-5; 51:3
(tr. R. H. Charles, 1917)
