Puddinhead, I'm looking for a good translation of the Book of Enoch. And now the lengthy explanation why this has anything to do with the thread. You needn't read on if you're busy... I just feel like typing. :-) Last week's episode of the X-files about seraphim and nephilim(?) had me looking up Gustav Davidson's "A Dictionary of Angels". In the book's introduction he quotes Rev. 8:2 (AV), "And I saw the seven angels who stand before God; and to them were given seven trumpets." Davidson goes on to write, "I laid the book aside and asked myself: who are these seven holy ones that stand before God?..." He goes on to say there's more than one list of the seven. So I looked up the quote in Hugh J. Schonfield's "The Original New Testament", which I'm currently reading, and he footnotes that, "These are the seven archangels (Enoch 20)." Unfortunately, the only one of my books that came close was "The Other Bible", edited by Willis Barnstone, which has only excerpts from Enoch (Enoch 20 is not included). Greg Rev. 8:2 (Vulg.), "et vidi septem angelos stantes in conspectu Dei et datae sunt illis septem tubae."

I don't have the foggiest idea who "puddinhead" is, but I assure you---you have opened up "a can of worms" for the likes of _______ You'll find out soon enough. However, I do hope and pray you can keep this thread on a "high level"---but if there is anything we learn from history, it is that we don't learn from history Tolstoy. With a name like Puddinhead, you either a) don't know what you are doing or b) you have an amazing head and know all too well what you are doing ---I prefer the latter interpretation. Actually I rather like the name---I assume it is a takeoff of "puddin-us-on". I'll have to read a few of your posts to see where you are coming from. Wishing you a sensational day. Barney
