: Which was inexhaustible:
: And around it were many fountains of wisdom:
: And all the thirsty drank of them,
: And were filled with wisdom,
: And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.
: And His name before the Head of Days.
: Before the stars of the heaven were made,
: His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
: And He shall be the light of the Gentiles,
: And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
: And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.
: Before the creation of the world and for evermore.
: For He hath preserved the lot of the righteous,
: Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness,
: And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
: For in His name they are saved,
: And according to His good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.

: He was named before the dawn of time,
: and now it is in his name that we are saved.
: Add that to your contemplation of L'Engle's concept of naming and un-naming.
Is this the same Enoch that never died?
