“‘This sentence is
Rendered by decree
Of the watchers.
The decision
Is given
By order
Of the holy ones.
All who live
May know
That the Most High
Is sovereign
Over the kingdoms
Of mortals.
He gives it
To whom he will.
He sets over it
The lowliest
Of human beings.’”
The holy watcher or angel explained that this decree and sentence was final, because it was given by order of the watchers or holy ones, who live with the Most High God. God was over all mortal kingdoms. He can give and take away human kingdoms. He sets kings up. He sometimes takes the lowliest of humans to be kings.
