“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5
Father-Mother, thank you that in your goodness and mercy to me, you have revealed your mysteries, and covered me with your love. I will speak for you, so as to spread your light in the world, so that Your People, the Ones you have elected and chosen before they ever inhabited the flesh, will be drawn back to remembrance and salvation within You. Please lift up the words of your saints and prophets, who the church sought to snuff out and hide, because it was a threat to their earthly power. Let me always tread within your light and love, as I walk among my brothers and sisters, urging them to return to your presence, as I dwell within the world. Amen
I was led to these verses by the Holy Spirit within me as they emphasize the words of Christ, and the coming time of division, which is upon us in this very time. These words are from my spiritual brother-sister, Enoch, who saw God face to face and lived and walked among the flaming stones of the Empyrean of God as did I.
I believe that these words, from the Book of Enoch, written thousands of years ago, are specifically speaking of this time and our confrontation with Iran.
Enoch: Chapter 2: The Second Parable.
72 And in those days the angels shall return and hurl themselves to the east upon the Parthians and Medes.
[“The Medes were an ancient Iranian people who spoke an Indo-European language, inhabited the region of Media in northwestern Iran, and built a powerful Iron Age empire that helped to destroy Assyria.AI”]
[The Parthians were an ancient Iranian people who built a major world empire spanning 247 BC to 224 AD. They originated as nomadic horse archers from the Parni tribe before conquering the region of Parthia in northeast Iran and overthrowing Greek Seleucid rule. Territory: Ruled a vast domain from the Euphrates River (modern Turkey and Iraq) to the Indus River (modern Pakistan and Afghanistan). Trade: Controlled key commercial hubs along the early Silk Road, linking the Roman world with Han China. Culture: Blended nomadic Iranian traditions with Greek (Hellenistic) and ancient Near Eastern customs. Tactics: Famous for heavy armored cavalry (cataphracts) and the “Parthian shot”—a tactic where mounted archers fired backwards at the enemy while feigning retreat.]
73 They shall stir up the kings, so that a spirit of unrest shall come upon them and they shall rouse them from their thrones that they may break forth as lions from their lairs and as hungry wolves among their flocks.
74 And they shall go up and tread under foot the land of His elect ones but the
city of the righteous shall be a hindrance to their horses.
75 And they shall begin to fight among themselves and their right hand shall be strong against themselves.
76 And a man shall not know his brother nor a son his father or his mother till there be no number of the corpses through their slaughter and their punishment be not in vain.
77 In those days Sheol shall open its jaws and they shall be swallowed up therein. Their destruction shall be at an end. Sheol shall devour the sinners in the presence of the elect.”
78 And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of wagons, and men riding thereon, and coming on the winds from the east, and from the west to the south.
79 79 And the noise of their wagons was heard, and when this turmoil took place the holy ones from heaven remarked it, and the pillars of the earth were moved from their place, and the sound thereof was heard from the one end of heaven to the other, in one day.
80 And they shall all fall down and worship the Lord of Spirits. And this is the end of the second Parable.
The Parthian military relied primarily on highly mobile cavalry and hit-and-run strategies rather than heavy infantry. They famously used nomadic steppe tactics to exhaust and encircle larger, more rigid armies like those of the Roman Empire. AI
Core Force Structure
- Horse Archers: Formed the vast majority of the army, wearing light armor and maximizing speed.
- Cataphracts: Elite, heavily armored cavalry rode armored horses to deliver devastating shock charges.
- Camel Trains: Carried massive reserves of arrows to keep light archers continuously supplied.
- No Standing Infantry: Relied almost entirely on mounted soldiers, leaving them weak in siege warfare. AI
Key Tactical Maneuvers
- The Parthian Shot: Archers feigned retreat, then turned backward in their saddles to shoot at pursuing enemies.
- Continuous Harassment: Kept a safe distance while raining down arrows to break enemy formation cohesion.
- Encirclement: Used superior speed to surround enemy ranks and cut off all retreat routes.
- Shock Timing: Deployed the heavy cataphracts only after horse archers had weakened and disorganized the enemy. AI
The Battle of Carrhae (53 BC)
It was one of Rome’s most crushing defeats, where a Parthian force of roughly 10,000 cavalry completely annihilated a Roman army of 40,000 soldiers led by Marcus Licinius Crassus. The battle serves as the ultimate historical demonstration of Parthian nomadic cavalry tactics overriding rigid infantry formations.AI
The Tactical Breakdown
- Psychological Warfare: The Parthians used giant drums covered in bronze bells to create a deafening, terrifying roar before the battle, disorienting the Roman soldiers.
- The Hollow Square: In response to the mobile cavalry threat, Crassus packed his legions into a massive, immobile “hollow square” formation to protect his flanks.
- The Endless Arrow Supply: Crassus expected the Parthians to run out of arrows quickly. However, the Parthian commander, Surena, brought a 1,000-camel baggage train loaded with extra arrows, allowing continuous, non-stop bombardment.
- The Testudo Trap: When Romans formed the testudo (shield wall) to block the arrows, the heavily armored Parthian cataphracts charged, shattering the dense lines. When the Romans opened their lines to fight the cataphracts, the horse archers immediately resumed firing into the gaps.
- The Parthian Shot: Crassus sent his son Publius with 6,000 troops to counter-attack. The Parthians feigned a retreat, drew the detachment away from the main body, turned backward in their saddles to shoot them down, and wiped them out. AI
The Strategic Outcome
Parthian Losses: Parthian casualties were exceptionally low, estimated at only a few hundred men.
Roman Casualties: Out of 40,000 Romans, roughly 20,000 were killed (including Crassus and his son), 10,000 were captured, and only 10,000 escaped.
Chapter 3: The Third Parable
1 And I began to speak the third Parable concerning the righteous and elect.
2 Blessed are ye, ye righteous and Elect for glorious shall be your lot.
3 And the righteous shall be in the light of the sun and the elect in the light of eternal life.
4 The days of their life shall be unending and the days of the holy without number.
5 And they shall seek the light and find righteousness with the Lord of Spirits.
6 There shall be peace to the righteous in the name of the Eternal Lord.
7 And after this it shall be said to the holy in heaven that they should seek out the secrets of righteousness, the heritage of faith.
8 For it has become bright as the sun upon earth and the darkness is past.
9 And there shall be a light that never ends and to a limit of days they shall not come.
10 For the darkness shall first have been destroyed and the light of uprightness established for ever before the Lord of Spirits.
11 In those days mine eyes saw the secrets of the lightnings, and of the lights, and the judgements they execute, and they lighten for a blessing or a curse as the Lord of Spirits willeth.
12 And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, and how when it resounds above in the heaven, the sound thereof is heard.
13 And He caused me to see the judgements executed on the earth, whether they be for well−being and blessing, or for a curse according to the word of the Lord of Spirits.
14 And after that, all the secrets of the lights and lightnings were shown to me, and they lighten for blessing and for satisfying.
15 In the year 500, in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the life of Enoch.
16 In that parable I saw how a mighty quaking made the heaven of heavens to quake, and the host of the Most High, and the angels, a thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand were disquieted with a great disquiet.
17 And the Head of Days sat on the throne of His glory, and the angels and the righteous stood around Him.
18 And a great trembling seized me, and fear took hold of me, and my loins gave way, and dissolved were my reins, and I fell upon my face.
19 And Michael sent another angel from among the holy ones and he raised me up, and when he had raised me up my spirit returned; for I had not been able to endure the look of this host, and the commotion and the quaking of the heaven.
20 And Michael said unto me: Why art thou disquieted with such a vision? Until this day lasted the day of His mercy; and He hath been merciful and long −suffering towards those who dwell on the earth.
21 And when the day, and the power, and the punishment, and the judgement come, which the Lord of Spirits hath prepared for those who worship not the righteous law, and for those who deny the righteous judgement, and for those who take His name in vain, that day is prepared, for the elect a covenant, but for sinners an inquisition.
22 When the punishment of the Lord of Spirits shall rest upon them, it shall rest in order that the punishment of the Lord of Spirits may not come in vain, and it shall slay the children with their mothers and the children with their fathers.
23 Afterwards the judgement shall take place according to His mercy and His patience.”
24 And on that day were two monsters parted, a female monster named Leviathan, to dwell in the abysses of the ocean over the fountains of the waters.
25 But the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste
wilderness named Duidain, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell, where my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first man whom the Lord of Spirits created.
26 And I besought the other angel that he should show me the might of those
monsters, how they were parted on one day and cast, the one into the abysses of the sea and the other unto the dry land of the wilderness.
27 And he said to me: “Thou son of man, herein thou dost seek to know what is hidden…”
43 …And I asked the angel, saying unto him: “Why have those angels taken these cords and gone off?”
44 And he said unto me: “They have gone to measure.”
45 And the angel who went with me said unto me: “These shall bring the measures of the righteous and the ropes of the righteous to the righteous. That they may stay themselves on the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.
46 The elect shall begin to dwell with the elect, and those are the measures which shall be given to faith and which shall strengthen righteousness.
47 And these measures shall reveal all the secrets of the depths of the earth. And those who have been destroyed by the desert, and those who have been devoured by the beasts, and those who have been devoured by the fish of the sea. That
they may return and stay themselves on the day of the Elect One; for none shall be destroyed before the Lord of Spirits, and none can be destroyed.”
48 And all who dwell above in the heaven received a command and power and one voice and one light like unto fire.
49 And that One with their first words they blessed and extolled and lauded with wisdom.
50 And they were wise in utterance and in the spirit of life.
51 And the Lord of Spirits placed the Elect one on the throne of glory. And he shall judge all the works of the holy above in the heaven, and in the balance shall their deeds be weighed.
52 And thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: “Open your eyes and lift up your horns if
ye are able to recognize the Elect One.”
53 And the Lord of Spirits seated him on the throne of His glory and the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon Him.
54 And the word of his mouth slays all the sinners, and all the unrighteous are destroyed from before his face.
55 And there shall stand up in that day all the kings and the mighty, and the exalted and those who hold the earth, and they shall see and recognize how He sits on the throne of His glory.
56 And righteousness is judged before him and no lying word is spoken before him.
57 Then shall pain come upon them as on a woman in travail when her child enters the mouth of the womb and she has pain in bringing forth.
58 And one portion of them shall look on the other and they shall be terrified, and they shall be downcast of countenance, and pain shall seize them when they see that Son of Man sitting on the throne of his glory.
59 And the kings and the mighty and all who possess the earth shall bless and glorify and extol him who rules over all, who was hidden.
60 For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden and the Most High preserved Him in the presence of His might, and revealed Him to the elect.
61 And the congregation of the elect and holy shall be sown and all the elect shall stand before him on that day.
62 And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth shall fall down before Him on their faces and worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man, and petition him and supplicate for mercy at his hands.
63 Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them that they shall hastily go forth from His presence, and their faces shall be filled with shame, and the darkness grow deeper on their faces.
64 And He will deliver them to the angels for punishment to execute vengeance on them because they have oppressed His children and His elect.
65 And they shall be a spectacle for the righteous and for His elect: They shall rejoice over them because the wrath of the Lord of Spirits resteth upon them and His sword is drunk with their blood.
66 And the righteous and elect shall be saved on that day, and they shall never thenceforward see the face of the sinners and unrighteous.
67 And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them, and with that Son of Man shall they eat and lie down and rise up for ever and ever.
68 And the righteous and elect shall have risen from the earth and ceased to be of downcast countenance.
69 And they shall have been clothed with garments of glory and these shall be the garments of life from the Lord of Spirits: And your garments shall not grow old. Nor your glory pass away before the Lord of Spirits.
70 In those days shall the mighty and the kings who possess the earth implore to grant them a little respite from His angels of punishment to whom they were delivered, that they might fall down and worship before the Lord of Spirits and confess their sins before Him.
71 And they shall bless and glorify the Lord of Spirits, and say: “Blessed is the Lord of Spirits and the Lord of kings, and the Lord of the mighty and the Lord of the rich, and the Lord of glory and the Lord of wisdom, and splendid in every
secret thing is Thy power from generation to generation, and Thy glory for ever and ever.
72 Deep are all Thy secrets and innumerable, and Thy righteousness is beyond reckoning. We have now learnt that we should glorify and bless the Lord of kings and Him who is king over all kings.”
73 And they shall say: “Would that we had rest to glorify and give thanks and confess our faith before His glory! And now we long for a little rest but find it
not. We follow hard upon and obtain not, and light has vanished from before us, and darkness is our dwelling−place for ever and ever.
74 For we have not believed before Him nor glorified the name of the Lord of Spirits but our hope was in the sceptre of our kingdom, and in our own glory.
75 And in the day of our suffering and tribulation He saves us not and we find no respite for confession that our Lord is true in all His works, and in His judgements and His justice, and His judgements have no respect of persons.
76 And we pass away from before His face on account of our works and all our
sins are reckoned up in righteousness.”
77 Now they shall say unto themselves: “Our souls are full of unrighteous gain, but it does not prevent us from descending from the midst thereof into the burden of Sheol.”
78 And after that their faces shall be filled with darkness and shame before that Son of Man, and they shall be driven from his presence, and the sword shall abide before his face in their midst.
79 Thus spake the Lord of Spirits: “This is the ordinance and judgement with respect to the mighty and the kings and the exalted and those who possess the earth before the Lord of Spirits.”
80 And other forms I saw hidden in that place. I heard the voice of the angel saying: “These are the angels who descended to the earth, and revealed what was hidden to the children of men and seduced the children of men into committing sin.
