Secrets of Enoch: Chapter XXV
God relates to Enoch, how out of the very lowest darkness comes down the visible and invisible.
1.I COMMANDED in the very lowest parts, that visible things should come down from invisible, and Adoil came down very great, and I beheld him, and lo! he had a belly of great light.
2.And I said to him: ‘Become undone, Adoil, and let the visible come out of thee.’
3.And he came undone, and a great light came out. And I was in the midst of the great light, and as there is born light from light, there came forth a great age, and showed all creation, which I had thought to create.
4.And I saw that it was good.
5.And I placed for myself a throne, and took my seat on it, and said to the light: ‘Go thou up higher and fix thyself high above the throne, and be a foundation to the highest things.’
6.And above the light there is nothing else, and then I bent up and looked up from my throne.
Asked of Guide
Why does God order Adoil to 'become undone' so the visible can come out?
God speaks to Adoil as the source where visibility is contained and commands release so creation can appear; “let the visible come out of thee” makes creation an act of unfolding from a luminous interior. The chapter shows creation as emergence: light issuing from Adoil, a “great light” birthing a “great age” that reveals “all creation” God had intended.
God then situates that light as a sustaining principle: He seats Himself on a throne and tells the light to “fix thyself high above the throne, and be a foundation to the highest things.” This treats light as both produced and foundational, matching themes in Genesis and later Jewish mysticism where light is both created and the matrix that supports higher realities.
