The Book of Enoch Describes Where the Dead Are Waiting — And Who Never Leaves

According to chapter 22 of the Book of Enoch, the dead are not in heaven and not in hell. They are gathered inside a great mountain in the far west of the world, in four hollow chambers, already separated, waiting for the day of judgment. This film follows the chapter as Ethiopia preserved it. The mountain of hard rock. The four hollow places, three dark and one bright. The voice of Abel, still making his case against Cain. The spring of bright water kept for the righteous. The chamber of the guilty who were never judged in life, the chamber of the slain who were never answered, and the fourth chamber, whose occupants the text says will neither be punished on the day of judgment nor raised. Nothing here is offered to correct your Bible. It is offered to fill it in. Every claim is attributed to its source, and where the manuscripts disagree, this film says so plainly.
