The Jewish pseudepigraphon Second Book of Enoch (Slavonic Enoch) refers to the Grigori, who are the same as the Watchers of 1 Enoch. [17] The Slavic word Grigori used in the book is a transcription [18] of the Greek word ἐγρήγοροι egrḗgoroi, meaning "wakeful". [19] The Hebrew equivalent is ערים, meaning "waking", "awake". [20]
The early Christian writer, Hippolytus of Rome, concluded that the two witnesses would be Enoch and Elijah, the two individuals who did not experience death according to other biblical passages (Genesis 5:24; 2 Kings 2:10-11; Hebrews 11:5).
