Enoch sees a mountain of fire, and as he approaches he sees that it is really 7 mountains. 3 are strengthened by being places one on another in the south, and 3 are on each other in the East and 1 in the midst. They are made of jewels. Together the mountains resembled the seat of a throne. Enoch learns from his guide, Michael, that God will reign the throne when he comes to visit the earth with goodness.
Enoch smells the trees that grow around the mountains and thinks their odor is very pleasant, even so pleasant that it seems better than any tree in the garden of Eden. "Its fruit resembled the cluster of the palm."
The fruit cluster of a Palm
He asks Michael about it and is told it is the fruit prepared for the elect. No one can touch the fruit until the time of great judgement. Those who are not elect will receive a punishment. The elect will have this fruit. They will rejoice in the Holy One. The smell of the fruit will enter into their bones and they will live a long life without sorrow, distress or trouble.
Enoch praised the Lord because he prepared this tree for the saints.
