1 Enoch (The Book of Enoch) Chapter XXIII
1From thence I went to another place, towards the west, unto the extremities of the earth,
2Where I beheld a fire blazing and running along without cessation, which intermitted its course neither by day nor by night; but continued always the same.
3I inquired, saying, What is this, which never ceases?
4Then Raguel, one of the holy angels who were with me, answered,
5And said, This blazing fire, which thou beholdest running towards the west, is that of all the luminaries of heaven.
