The Book of Enoch is quoted by Jude and the story is repeated several times. Only by reading Enoch do we grasp what is being quoted. Someone has estimated that the book of Enoch is quoted at least 128 times in the New Testament.
Enoch ("Instructor") won his
immense reputation from the
apocalyptic and
once canonical Book of Enoch, compiled in the
first century B.C. It is an ecstatic elaboration of Genesis V:22: "And Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he begat Methuselah." Later Hebrew myth makes him God's recording angel and counselor, also patron of all children who study the Torah.
Of course, we might expect that those men defined by Enoch and Jude would deny their inspiration along with most of the Bible. For instance:
Carroll D. Osburn claims that the
inspired New Testament writer, Jude, was guilty of
plagiarizing ("to put forth as original to oneself the ideas of words of another") from
profane and
impure sources (namely, the Pseudepigrapha book of 1 Enoch) (Peaceable Kingdom, pp. 93-122). Carrol. D. Osburn He is
Carmichael Distinguished Professor of the New Testament at
Abilene Christian University, abandoning verbal inspiration of Holy Scriptures and saying the Bible contains mistakes in science, history, and geography (Peaceable Kingdom, pp. 53-70).
If quoting someone else is plagiarizing then Paul is guilty for quoting from secular poets.
"Some will react strongly to the suggestion that Jude quoted from a
Jewish myth and point out that he identifies Enoch as "Enoch the Seventh from Adam".
"Normally this would be a fair objection. The Bible does not generally quote from such profane sources, and certainly never treats such books as authoritative. However in this case the phrase "the seventh from Adam" does not come from Genesis but from
Book of Enoch 60:8. So we are not dealing with one quote of Enoch here, but two. In fact there are as many as
30 references to the Book of Enoch in
2 Peter and Jude.
Slandering Celestial Beings, Steven cox
More notes on the wandering stars have been moved here.
We are not called upon to accept all of Enoch inspired. However, it represents perhaps dozens of documents circulated. All of these attribute the fall of the holy people to a direct attack of Satan and his agents and that the principle weapon was
music.
The important point is that aside from this and similar accounts about how
music was introduced to mankind to keep him away from the Word of God: "There is no other tradition."
"In pagan traditions,
musical instruments are invented by
gods or
demi-gods, such as
titans. In the Bible, credit is assigned to antediluvian patriarchs, for example, the descendants of
Cain in Genesis 4:21.
There is no other biblical tradition about the invention of
musical instruments." (Freedman, David Noel, Bible Review, Summer 1985, p. 51).
(Proof Here).
"Before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls the apocryphal book of Enoch (more precisely, I Enoch) was known only in an Ethiopic translation. Now as many as twenty fragmentary copies of the Aramaic original have been found at Qumran, which suggests that Enoch and perhaps other books now considered apocryphal were regarded as authoritative Scripture at least by some groups. Allusions to Enoch occur at least fourteen times in the New Testament; the New Testament Letter of Jude quotes from Enoch as having the authority of inspired Scripture (Jude 14-15). In some copies of the Ethiopic Bible Enoch is included in the canon.
"Jubilees, the so-called Rewritten Bible, was apparently considered authoritative at Qumran: At least fifteen copies of this book have been identified, an immediate indication of the importance the Qumran sectarians attached to it. To this day, it is considered canonical by the Abyssinian Church in Ethiopia. (pp. 160-161, The Mystery and Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls)
Defense of Enoch by Tertullian
Chapter 1
1 The word of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the elect and the righteous, who were to exist in the time of trouble; rejecting all the wicked and ungodly. Enoch, a righteous man, who
was (1) with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and
while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me.
(1) N.B. The italicized words supply a gap in the text.
2 From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw;
that which
will not take place in this generation,
but in a generation which is to succeed at a
distant period, on account of the elect.
3 Upon their account I spoke and conversed with him, who will go forth from his habitation, the Holy and Mighty One, the God of the world:
4 Who will hereafter
tread upon Mount Sinai;
appear with his hosts; and be manifested in the strength of his power from heaven.
5 All shall be afraid, and the
Watchers be terrified.
6 Great fear and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth.
The
lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the
exalted hills
depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame.
The earth shall be
immerged, and all things which are in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous:
7 But to them shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise clemency.
8 Then shall all belong to God; be happy and blessed; and the splendour of the Godhead shall
illuminate them.

Chapter 2
1
Behold, he comes with
ten thousands of his saints, to
execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked, and reprove all the
carnal for everything which the
sinful and
ungodly have done, and committed against him.
When God gave the Book of the Covenant, Exodus reads:
And mount Sinai was altogether
on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. Exodus 19:18
However, as a result of the musical idolatry--rising up to play--God gave them the
Book of the Law to protect them. After punishment, God ordained the Levites to stand between the people and the Tabernacle as the symbol of His presence. All but the Levites and Priests were now strangers and the clergy must bear the burden for the people. Therefore, in Deuteronomy, the second law or that "in addition to the Covenant":
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the
smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. Deut.33:1
And he said, The Lord
came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and
he came with ten thousands of saints: from his
right hand went a
fiery (burning-goad)
law for them. Deut 33:2
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Deut 33:3
Moses
commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Deut 33:4
This theme of Covenant, sin, and the Law is repeated in The Book of Jubilees
Quoted by Jude, vss. 14, 15.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with
ten thousands of his saints, Jude 14
To
execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 15
Chapter 3
Jude condemned the
musical agents of Satan and shows that the
natural order is for all of God's created world
obeys His laws. Only mankind has the freedom to go "roaming" over the sky and, much earlier, go bumping into one another creating great destruction on the earth:
1 All who are in the heavens
know what is transacted
there.
2
They know that the
heavenly luminaries
change not their paths; that each rises and
sets regularly, every one at its proper period,
without transgressing the commands,
which they have received.
They
behold the earth, and understand what is there transacted, from the beginning to the end of it.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gen 8:22
3
They see that
every work of God is
invariable in the period of its appearance. They behold summer and winter:
perceiving that the whole earth is full of water; and that the cloud, the dew, and the rain refresh it.
Chapter 4
1 They consider and behold
every tree, how it appears to
wither, and every leaf to fall off, except of fourteen trees, which are not deciduous; which wait from the old, to the appearance of the new
leaf, for two or three winters.
Chapter 5
1 Again they consider the days of summer, that the sun is upon it at its very beginning; while you seek for a covered and shady spot on account of the burning sun; while the earth is scorched up with fervid heat, and you become incapable of walking either upon the ground or upon the rocks in consequence of that heat.
Chapter
6
1 They consider how the
trees, when they put forth their green leaves, become covered, and produce fruit;
understanding everything, and knowing that He who
lives for ever does all these things for you:
2
That the works at the beginning of every existing year, that all his works, are subservient to him, and invariable; yet as God has appointed, so are all things brought to pass.
3 They see, too, how the
seas and the
rivers together
complete their respective operations:
4
But you endure not patiently,
nor fulfill the commandments of the Lord;
but you
transgress and
calumniate
his
greatness;
and
malignant are the words in your
polluted
mouths
against his Majesty.

Lucifer has the king of Babylon as his old agent who will end like Enoch says:
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. Is.14:9
All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become
weak as we? art thou become
like unto us? Isa 14:10
Thy
pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy
viols: the worm (maggots) is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Is.14:11
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and
with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made
lies our refuge, and
under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Is.28:15
Lucfer as the king of Tyre is described by Ezekiel:
Thou hast been in
Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:
the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Ezekiel 28:13
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the
holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the
midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:14
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiel 28:15
By the multitude of
thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the
mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of
the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:16
As the end-time Babylonian :
And the fruits that thy soul
lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. Revelation 18:14
The
merchants of these things, which were
made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, Revelation 18:15
And the voice of
harpers, and
musicians, and of
pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; Revelation 18:22

It happened after the sons of men had
multiplied in those days, that
daughters were born to them,
elegant and beautiful.
In the Bible this story speaks of Jubal who is Genun:
And Lamech took unto him
two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. Gen 4:19
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. Gen 4:20
And his brothers name was
Jubal: he was the
father of all such as handle (Taphas: without divine warrant) the
harp and
organ. Gen 4:21
Taphas (h8610) taw-fas'; a prim. root; to
manipulate, i. e. seize; chiefly to
capture, wield; spec. to
overlay; fig. to
use unwarrantably: - catch,
handle, (lay, take) hold (on, over), stop, surely,
surprise, take.
Taphaph (h8608) taw-faf'; a prim. root; to drum, i. e. play (as) on the tambourine: - taber, play with timbrels.
Topheth (h8611) to'-feth; from the base of 8608; a smiting, i. e. (fig.) contempt: - tabret.
There were
giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Gen 6:4
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:5
2 And when the
angels, (3) the
sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other,
Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men,
and let us
beget children.
(3) An Aramaic text reads "Watchers" here (J.T. Milik,
Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4 [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976], p. 167).
See Genesis chapter 6, Jubilees 5
We must remember that Jesus said that the Word had been revealed in
parables from the foundation of the world.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret
from the foundation of the world. Mt.13:35
Job tells part of the creation story in clearly symbolic terms:
He divideth the sea with his
power, and by his
understanding he smiteth through the proud. Job 26:12
By his
spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his
hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Job 26:13
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14
MOREOVER Job
continued his parable, and said, Job 27:1
This passage, therefore, may not speak of semi-divine offspring of angels and women. Rather, it probably speaks of the religious institutions which are as old as history. By selecting wives who readily fell into the use of
music and other forms of Ancient Near Eastern magic, the angels were able to build their own "families of God" in competition with those who obeyed the Word and lived in righteousness and justice. This will become clearer in the next part of First Enoch.
3 Then their
leader
Samyaza said to them;
I fear that you may perhaps be
indisposed to the performance of this enterprise;
4 And that I alone shall suffer for so
grievous a crime.
5 But they answered him and said; We all
swear;
6 And
bind ourselves by mutual
execrations, that
we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.
7
Then they swore all together, and all
bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was
two hundred, who descended upon
Ardis, (4) which is the top of mount
Armon. [Hermon]
(4)
Upon Ardis. Or, "in the days of
Jared" (R.H. Charles, ed. and trans.,
The Book of Enoch [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1893], p. 63).
More than ten years ago we heard of a band of men who had
bound themselves to restructure the church to "introduce instrumental
music in worship and provide a wider role for women in worship." The method, of course, had to proceed cautiously as Navigating the Winds of Change.
Jared lived on the Holy Mountain and Satan taught Jubal or Genun how "to
look to the hills" to bring them down with
musical idolatry and mixed-sex choirs into the dark (no truth) land of the Cainites.
When Genun and the Cainites saw that they had been overcome by "wine, women and song" by Satan, they demonstrated that "misery loves company." In the same way, churches which have been captured by
musical worship leave no stone unturned until they slander non-musical groups and try to force them to join. This, in a perverse way, gives those overcome a sense of confidence. The "bigger the crowd" the more they feel comfortable.
8 That
mountain therefore was called
Armon, because they had sworn upon it, (5) and bound themselves by
mutual
execrations.
(5) Mt. Armon, or Mt.
Hermon, derives its name from the Hebrew word
herem, a curse (Charles, p. 63).
Charam (h2763) khaw-ram'; a prim. root; to seclude; spec. (by a ban) to
devote to relig. uses (espec.
destruction); phys. and reflex. to be blunt as to the nose: -
make accursed, consecrate, (utterly) destroy, devote, forfeit, have a flat nose, utterly (slay, make away).
Cherem (h2764) khay'-rem; or (Zech. 14:11) cherem kheh'-rem; from 2763; phys. (as
shutting in) a net (either lit. or fig.); usually a doomed object; abstr.
extermination: - (ac-) curse (-d, -d thing), dedicated thing, things which should have been utterly destroyed, (appointed to) utter destruction, devoted (thing), net

The Bacchae By Euripides shows the only understanding in history: instruments were given by the "gods."
"Anon shall the whole land be
dancing, when Bromius leads his
revellers to the
hills,
to the hills away! where wait him groups of
maidens from loom and shuttle
roused in frantic haste by Dionysus.
O hidden cave of the Curetes! O hallowed haunts in Crete, that saw Zeus born,
where
Corybantes with
crested helms devised for me in their grotto the
rounded timbrel of ox-hide (lifeless instrument), mingling
Bacchic minstrelsy with the shrill sweet accents of the
Phrygian flute,
a
gift bestowed by them on mother Rhea,
to add its
crash of
music to the
Bacchantes' shouts of joy;
but
frantic satyrs
won it from the
mother-goddess for their own, and added it to their
dances in festivals, which gladden the heart of Dionysus, each
third recurrent year. Oh! happy that votary, when from the hurrying
revel-rout he sinks to earth, in his holy robe of
fawnskin, chasing the
goat to drink its blood, a banquet sweet of flesh uncooked, as he hastes to Phrygia's or to
Libya's hills; while in the van the Bromian god exults with cries of
Evoe (Eve or ZOE among the Gnostics). With
milk and
wine and streams of luscious
honey flows the earth, and
Syrian incense smokes.
While the
Bacchante holding in his hand a blazing torch of pine uplifted on his wand waves it, as he speeds along,
rousing wandering votaries, and as he waves it cries aloud with
wanton tresses tossing in the breeze; and thus to crown the revelry, he
raises loud his voice, "On, on, ye Bacchanals, pride of
Tmolus (a
gold-producing mountain in Lydia, near Sardis:)
with its
rills of gold to the
sound of the
booming drum,
chanting in joyous strains the
praises of your
joyous god with Phrygian accents
lifted high,
what time the
holy
lute with sweet complaining note invites you to your
hallowed sport,
according well with feet that hurry
wildly to the hills; like a colt that gambols at its mother's side in the pasture, with gladsome heart each
Bacchante bounds along."
9 These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel,
Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal,
Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the
two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. (6)
(6) The Aramaic texts preserve an earlier list of names of these
Watchers:
Semihazah; Artqoph; Ramtel; Kokabel; Ramel; Danieal; Zeqiel; Baraqel; Asael;
Hermoni; Matarel; Ananel; Stawel;
Samsiel; Sahriel; Tummiel; Turiel; Yomiel; Yhaddiel (Milik, p. 151).
10 Then they
took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them
sorcery,
incantations, and the
dividing of roots and
trees.
Again, remember that the "trees" in Eden were various nations. The nation of Assyria in Ezekiel 31 was the "tallest tree in Eden" who sucked up all of the water (the word).
Wives are symbolic of "churches" in the New Testament and of God's chosen people in the Old Testament. When Israel fell into "worship like the nations" it involved songs and instruments as part of religious incantations.
The the Sons of God and Daughters of men, Chapter XIV.-Their Discoveries.
"For after the , being asked to show what they were before, and being no longer able to do so, on account of their being
unable to do aught else after their defilement, yet wishing to please their es, instead of themselves, they showed the bowel (marrow) of the earth; I mean, the
choice
metals, [flowers of metal] gold, brass,
silver, iron, and the like, with all the
most precious stones.
And along with these
charmed
stones, they
delivered the arts of the things pertaining to each, and imparted the discovery of
magic, and taught
astronomy,
and the
powers of roots, and whatever was impossible to be found out by the human mind; also the
reeking of gold and silver, and the like, and the various
dyeing of garments. And all things, in short,
which are for the
adornment and delight of women, are the
discoveries of these
demons
bound in flesh.
Of the king of Tyre as an agent of Lucifer, Ezekiel wrote:
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every
precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:
the
workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze.28:13
11 And the women conceiving
brought forth giants, (7)
(7) The Greek texts vary considerably from the Ethiopic text here. One Greek manuscript adds to this section, "And they [the women] bore to them [the
Watchers] three races:
first, the great
giants. The giants brought forth [some say "slew"] the Naphelim, and the Naphelim brought forth [or "slew"] the Elioud. And they existed, increasing in power according to their greatness."
See the account in the Book of Jubilees.
12 Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These
devoured all
which the labor of men
produced; until it became impossible to feed them;
13 When they turned themselves
against men, in order to devour them;
14 And began to
injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to
eat their flesh one after another, (8) and to
drink their blood.
(8)
Their flesh one after another. Or, "one another's flesh." R.H. Charles notes that this phrase may refer to the
destruction of one class of giants by another (Charles, p. 65).
This may be the "polemic" battle noted in
Revelation 20.
15 Then the
earth reproved the unrighteous.
These were men and women who began as "servants" but before long all of the resources of the people or "church" were devoured by the superior angel (messenger) and his staff and programs. It was always unlawful to demand a tithe of wages. Therefore, God said:
And I will
come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the
sorcerers, and against the erers, and against false swearers, and against those that
oppress the hireling in his wages, the
widow, and the
fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right,
and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal.3:5
Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites for ye
devour widows houses,
and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mt.23:14
Enoch and history agree that
music was a primary method of sorcery.

When he played these,
Azael entered into
them too,
so that they gave forth
seductive tunes
entrancing the hearts of all listeners.
Genun would assemble
companies of
musicians,
who
inflamed
one another with
music until their burned bright like fire,
and they lay together promiscuously.
He also brewed
beer, gathered great crowds in taverns, gave them to
drink,
and taught them to
forge iron swords and spear-points, with which to do murder at random when they were drunk.
The
false breastplace of Lucifer worn by the king/queen of Babylon and of Tyre.
Two of the tribal stones are replaced with
musical instruments: drums and
wind instruments.
"Slightly less familiar are the
Devil's
musical exploits. He not only loves singing but is master of the violin, of which instrument of evil he is reputedly the inventor. By the same token he
can give mastery of the violin,
bartering infernal skill for the pupil's soul.
These legends are related to the
larger belief in the
supernatural origin of
musical skill and individual songs." (Botkin, B. A., A Treasury of American Folklore, Crown Publishers, p. 718; Cf. The Devil and the Fiddle, Herbert Halpert, Hoosier Folklore Bulletin, Vol II (Dec., 1943).
"In pagan traditions,
musical instruments are invented by
gods or
demi-gods, such as
titans. In the Bible, credit is assigned to antediluvian patriarchs, for example, the descendants of Cain in Genesis 4:21.
There is no other biblical tradition about the invention of
musical instruments." (Freedman, David Noel, Bible Review, Summer 1985, p. 51).
(Proof Here).
The king of Tyre was the agent of Lucifer according to Ezekiel. In describing the breastplate two Israelite tribes are left out. They are replaced with
tambourines and flutes or
pipes:
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze.28:13
According to Psalm 41, Judas as the agent of Satan and the den of vipers in Jerusalem, represented the same seductive force Satan always used against God's people. Jesus said that:
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have
piped unto you, and ye have not
danced; we have mourned to you, and ye
have not wept. Lu.7:32
Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished. Je.48:36
Hippolytus and Hermes and the Mark of the Beast or Dragon
2 Impiety increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways.

The second book of Adam and Eve puts the emphasis upon instrumental
music and mix-sex choirs. We know from Babylonia that this was a primary method of sorcery.
Ravishing
music; strong drink loosed among the sons of Cain. They don colorful clothing.
The children of Seth look on with longing eyes. They
revolt from wise counsel;
they
descend the mountain into the
valley of iniquity. They can not ascend the mountain again.
1 AFTER Cain had gone down to the
land of dark soil, and his children had multiplied therein, there was one of them,
whose name was
Genun, son of Lamech the blind who slew Cain.
2 But as to this
Genun, Satan came into him in his childhood;
and he made sundry
trumpets and horns, and string instruments,
cymbals and
psalteries, and
lyres and
harps, and
flutes; and he played on them at all times and at every hour.
[The
horns in Hebrew were the yobels or
Jubals from which
Jubilee gets its meaning. Genun plays the part of
Jubal. The trumpet and the idea of "triumphing over" people with panic noise go together.]
In the
Babylonian stories two important gifts or "ME" was the art of
homosexual love and making instrumental
music. This was important in descending through the
seven gates of hell. It was also the practice of lamenting for Tammuz in Ezekiel 8 practiced by the women.
- "In the name of my power! In the name of my holy shrine!
- To my daughter
Inanna I shall give Truth!
- Descent into the underworld!
Ascent from the underworld!
- The art of
lovemaking! The art of kissing the phallus!"
- "In the name of my power! In the name of my holy shrine!
- To my daughter Inanna I shall give
- The holy priestess of heaven!
- The setting up of
lamentations! The
rejoicing of the heart!
- The giving of judgements! The making of decisions!"
- He gave me the art of kissing the phallus.
- He gave me the art of prostitution.
- He gave me the
resounding
musical instrument.
- He gave me the art of
song.
- He gave me the art of the elder
- He gave me the kindling of strife.
- "On the day the Boat of Heaven
- Enters the Nigulla
Gate of Uruk,
- Let high water sweep over the streets;
- Let high water flow over the paths.
- Let old men give counsel;
- Let old women offer
heart-soothing.
- Let the young men show the might of their
weapons;
- Let the little
children laugh and sing.
- Let all Uruk be
festive!
- Let the high priest greet the Boat of Heaven with
song.
- Let him utter prayers.
- Let him slaughter oxen and sheep.
- Let him pour
beer out of the cup.
- Let the
drum and
tambourine resound.
- Let the sweet
tigi-music be played.
- Let all the lands proclaim my noble name.
- Let my people sing
my praises."
Chapter 9
1 Then Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another,
It is
the voice of their cries;
2 The earth
deprived of her children
has cried even to the
gate of heaven.
And I will turn your
feasts into mourning, and all your
songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Amos 8:10
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: Amos 8: 11
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. Amos 8: 12
3 And now to you, O you holy one of heaven, the
souls of men complain, saying,
Obtain Justice for us with (10) the Most High. Then they said to their Lord, the King,
You are
Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings.
The throne of your glory is for ever and ever, and for ever and ever is your name sanctified and glorified. You are blessed and glorified.
(10)
Obtain justice for us with. Literally, "Bring judgment to us from." (Richard Laurence, ed. and trans.,
The Book of Enoch the Prophet [London: Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., 1883], p. 9).
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Re.6:9
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Rev 6:10
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6:11
And the
ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which
have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings
one hour with the
beast. Rev 17:12
These have
one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast. Rev 17: 13
See The Sophia-Zoe-Music Connection
These shall
make war with the
Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Rev 17: 14
And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest, where the sitteth, are
peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and
tongues. Rev 17: 15
The same shall drink of the
wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Re.14:10
And out of his
mouth goeth a
sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:15
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev 19: 16
4 You have made all things; you possess power over all things; and all things are
open and manifest before you. You behold all things, and nothing can be concealed from you.
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Rev 4:11
Neither is there any
creature that is not
manifest in his sight: but all things are
naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:13
5 You have seen what
Azazyel has done, how
he has
taught every species of iniquity upon earth,
and has
disclosed to the world all the
secret things which are
done in the heavens.
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? Deut 29:24
Then men shall say, Because they
have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: Deut 29:25
God gave Israel a Covenant like that given to Abraham containing
no priesthood or sacrifice. When they returned to the
musical worship of Egypt God broke the covenant and gave then another Law which was not good.
For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: Deut 29:26
This
musical worship was demon worship according to Paul to the Corinthians 10.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: Deut 29:27
And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. Deut 29:28
The
secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law. Deut 29:29
The making of instrumental
music and mixed-sex choirs were taught by Azazyel using youth such as Jubal or Genun. Therefore, when used to take the mind off the Word of God, it is called iniquity and it will be punished when God comes with ten thousand angels or saints.
The Gnostics saw
Sophia-Zoe in the same way
Lucifer or
Azazyel
is defined and
Now the
production of the instructor came about as follows. When
Sophia let fall a droplet of
light, it flowed onto the water, and immediately a human being appeared,
being androgynous.
That droplet she molded
first as a
female body.
Afterwards, using the body
she molded it in the
likeness of the
mother, which had appeared. And
he finished it in twelve months.
An
androgynous human being was produced, whom the Greeks call
Hermaphrodites; and whose mother the Hebrews call
Eve of Life (Eve-Zoe), namely, the
female
instructor
of life.
Her
offspring is the
creature that is lord.
Afterwards, the authorities called it "Beast", so that it might lead astray their led creatures.
The interpretation of "the
beast" is "the
instructor". For it was found to be the wisest of all beings.

Samyaza also has taught
sorcery, to whom you have given authority over those who are associated with him. They have gone together to the daughters of men; have lain with them; have become
polluted;
Pollute in Hebrew: Chalal (h2490) khaw-lal'; a prim. root [comp. 2470]; prop. to bore, i. e. (by impl.) to
wound, to dissolve; fig. to
profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge"); denom. (from 2485) to play (the flute): - begin (* men began), defile, * break, defile, * eat (as common things), * first, *
gather the grape thereof, * take inheritance, pipe,
player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self),
prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound.
7 And have discovered crimes (11) to them.
(11)
Discovered crimes. Or, "revealed these sins" (Charles, p. 70).
8 The women likewise have brought forth
giants.
9 Thus has the whole earth been filled with blood and with iniquity.
10 And now behold the souls of those who are dead, cry out.
11 And
complain even to the gate of heaven.
12 Their groaning ascends; nor can they escape from the unrighteousness which is committed on earth. You know all things, before they exist.
13 You know these things, and what has been done by them; yet you do not speak to us.
14 What on account of these things ought we to do to them?
Chapter 10
1 Then the
Most High, the Great and Holy One spoke,
2 And sent Arsayalalyur (12) to the
son of Lamech,
(12)
Arsayalalyur. Here one Greek text reads "Uriel."
3 Saying, Say to him in my name,
Conceal yourself.
4 Then explain to him the consummation which is about to take place; for all the earth shall perish; the waters of a deluge shall come over the whole earth, and all things which are in it shall be destroyed.
5 And now teach him how he may escape, and how his seed may remain in all the earth.
6 Again the Lord said to Raphael, Bind
Azazyel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in
Dudael, cast him in there.
7 Throw upon him hurled and
pointed stones, covering him with darkness;
8 There shall he remain for ever; cover his face, that he may not see the light.
9 And in the great day of judgment let him be cast into the fire.
10 Restore the earth, which the angels have
corrupted; and announce life to it, that I may revive it.
11 All the sons of men
shall not perish in consequence of
every secret,
by which the Watchers have destroyed, and
which
they have taught, their offspring.
12 All the earth has been
corrupted by the effects of the teaching of
Azazyel.
To him therefore ascribe the
whole crime.
13 To Gabriel also the Lord said, Go to the
biters, (13) to the reprobates, to the children of fornication; and destroy the children of fornication, the
offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth,
and
excite them one against another. Let them perish
by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs.
(13)
Biters. More accurately, " s" (Charles, p. 73; Michael A. Knibb, ed. and trans.,
The Ethiopic Book of Enoch [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1978], p. 88).
14 They shall all entreat you, but their fathers shall not obtain
their wishes
respecting them; for they shall hope for eternal life, and that they may live, each of them, five hundred years.
15 To
Michael likewise the Lord said, Go and announce
his crime to
Samyaza, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women,
that they might be
polluted with all their impurity. And when all their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the perdition of their beloved, bind them for
seventy generations underneath the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation, until the judgment,
the effect of which will last for ever, be completed.
This was not against marriage but against marriage of the angelic beings with humans. It is apparent, if we believe the Word, that their descendants still populate the earth and are at work when the sins they committed are repeated:
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not. Jude 5
And the angels which
kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 6
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 7
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called
Sodom and
Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified. Re.11:8
BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who
privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 Peter 2:1
And
many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be
evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2: 2
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2 Peter 2: 3
For if God spared not the
angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2: 4
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eigth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2: 5
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and
fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Revelation 20:9
And the
devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the
beast and the
false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20: 10
The king of
Tyre, the king of Babylon and the end-time Babylonian represent the false prophets.

16 Then shall they be taken away into the lowest depths of the
fire in torments; and in confinement shall they be shut up

addicted to dalliance, (15) and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have
tyrannized over mankind.

Dalliance. Or, "lust" (Knibb, p. 90; cp. Charles, p. 76). (Playful
sex)
19 Let every
oppressor perish from the face of the earth;
Oppressor in Hebrew: Nagas (h5065) naw-gas'; a prim. root; to drive (an animal, a workman, a debtor, an army); by impl. to tax, harass, tyrannize: - distress, driver, exact (-or), oppress (-or), *
raiser of taxes,
taskmaster.
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the
oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! Isaiah 14:4
Thy
pomp is brought down to the grave, and the
noise of
thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Isaiah 14:11
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isaiah 14:12
In the New Testament the oppressor is the religious ceremonialist:
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the
Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and
he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Matt 11:27
Come unto me all ye that
labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28
Kopiao (g2872) kop-ee-ah'-o; from a der. of 2873; to feel fatigue; by impl. to work hard: - (bestow) labour, toil, be wearied.
Phortizo (g5412) for-tid'-zo; from 5414; to load up (prop. as aa vessel or animal), i.e. (fig.) to
overburden with ceremony (or spiritual anxiety): - lade, be heavy laden.
Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am
meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls. Matt 11:29
Meek is:
Praos (g4235) prah'-os; a form of 4239, used in cert. parts;
gentle, i.e.
humble: -
meek.
Lowley:
Tapeinos (g5011) tap-i-nos'; of uncert. der.;
depressed, i.e. (fig.)
humiliated (in
circumstances or disposition): - base, cast down, humble, of low degree (estate), lowly.
Rest is:
Anapausis (g372) an-ap'-ow-sis; from 373; intermission; by impl. recreation: - rest.
Anapauo (g373) an-up-ow'-o; from 303 and 3973; (reflex.) to repose (lit. or fig. [be exempt], remain); by impl. to refresh: - take ease, refresh, (give, take) rest.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt 11:30
20 Let every evil work be destroyed;
21 The plant of righteousness and of rectitude appear, and its produce become a blessing.
22 Righteousness and rectitude shall be for ever planted with delight.
23 And then shall all the saints give thanks, and live until they have begotten a thousand
children, while the whole period of their youth, and their
sabbaths shall be completed in peace. In those days all the earth shall be
cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted with trees, and filled with benediction; every tree of delight shall be planted in it.
24 In it shall vines be planted; and the vine which shall be planted in it shall yield fruit to satiety; every seed, which shall be sown in it, shall produce for one measure a thousand; and one measure of olives shall produce ten presses of oil.
25 Purify the earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all crime, from all impiety, and from all the pollution which is committed upon it. Exterminate them from the earth.
26 Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations shall pay me divine honours, and bless me; and all shall adore me.
27 The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.
28 In those days I will open the
treasures of blessing which are in heaven, that I may cause them to descend upon earth, and upon all the works and labour of man.
29 Peace and equity shall associate with the sons of men all the days of the world, in every generation of it.
(No Chapter 11)
Chapter 12
1 Before all these things Enoch was concealed; nor did any one of the sons of men know where he was concealed, where he had been, and what had happened.
2 He was wholly engaged with the holy ones, and with the Watchers in his days.
3 I, Enoch, was blessing the great Lord and King of peace.
4 And behold the Watchers called me Enoch the scribe.
5 Then
the Lord said to me: Enoch, scribe of righteousness, go tell the Watchers of heaven, who have
deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station,
who
have been polluted with women.
6 And have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and
who have been greatly
corrupted on the earth;
7 That on the earth they
shall never obtain peace and remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall
lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition for ever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace.
Chapter 13
1 Then Enoch, passing on, said to
Azazyel: You shalt not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against you. He shall bind you;
2 Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be yours, on account of the
oppression which
you have taught;
3 And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which you have discovered to the children of men.
4 Then departing
from him
I spoke to them all together;
5 And they all became terrified, and trembled;
6 Beseeching me to write for them a memorial of supplication, that they might
obtain forgiveness;
and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the God of heaven;
because
they could not themselves thenceforwards address him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the
disgraceful offence for which they were judged.
7 Then I wrote a memorial of their prayer and supplications, for their spirits, for everything which they had done, and for the subject of their entreaty, that they might obtain remission and rest.
8 Proceeding on, I continued over the waters of
Danbadan, (16) which is on the right to the west of
Armon (Hermon), reading the memorial of their prayer, until I fell asleep.
(16)
Danbadan. Dan in Dan (Knibb, p. 94).
9 And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me. I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them. When I awoke I went to them. All being collected together stood weeping in
Oubelseyael, which is situated between
Libanos and Seneser, (17) with their faces veiled.
(17)
Libanos and Seneser. Lebanon and Senir (near Damascus).
10 I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream;
11 And began to utter these words of righteousness, reproving the Watchers of heaven.
Chapter 14
1 This is the book of the words of righteousness, and of the
reproof of the Watchers, who belong to the
world, (18) according to that which He, who is holy and great, commanded in the vision. I perceived in my dream,
that I was
now speaking with a tongue of flesh, and
with my breath, which the Mighty One has put into the mouth of men,
that they might converse with it.
(18)
Who belong to the world. Or, "who (are) from eternity" (Knibb, p. 95).
2 And
understand
with the heart.
- As he has created and given to men
the
power of comprehending the
word of understanding,
so has he created and given to me
the power of
reproving the Watchers, the offspring of heaven.
I have written your petition; and in my vision it has been shown me, that what you request will not be granted you as long as the world endures.
3 Judgment has been passed upon you:
your request will
not be granted you.
4 From this time forward,
never shall you
ascend into heaven; He has said, that on the earth
He will
bind you, as long as the world endures.
5 But before these things you shall behold the
destruction of your beloved sons; you shall not possess them, but they shall fall before you by the sword.
6 Neither shall you entreat for them, not for yourselves;
7 But you shall
weep and supplicate in
silence. The words of the book which I wrote. (19)
(19)
But you shall weep, I wrote. Or, "Likewise despite your tears and prayers you
will receive
nothing whatever contained in the writing which I have written" (Charles, p. 80).
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? Matthew 13:10
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Matthew 13:11
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Matthew 13:12
Therefore
speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand. Matthew 13:13
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: Matthew 13:14
For this peoples heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matthew 13:15
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in
parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: Matthew 13:34
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been
kept secret from the
foundation of the world. Matthew 13:35
8 A vision thus appeared to me.
9 Behold, in
that vision clouds and a mist invited me;
agitated stars and flashes of lightning impelled and pressed me forwards, while winds in the vision assisted my flight, accelerating my progress.
10 They elevated me aloft to heaven. I proceeded, until I arrived at a
wall built with stones of crystal. A vibrating flame (20) surrounded it, which began to strike me with terror.
(20)
Vibrating flame. Literally, "a
tongue of fire"
11 Into this vibrating flame I entered;
12 And drew nigh to a spacious habitation built also with
stones of crystal. Its walls too, as well as pavement, were
formed with stones of crystal, and crystal likewise was the ground. Its roof had the appearance of
agitated stars and flashes of lightning; and among them were cherubim of fire in a stormy sky. (21) A flame burned around its walls; and its portal blazed with fire. When I entered into this dwelling, it was hot as fire and cold as ice.
No
trace of delight or of life was there. Terror overwhelmed me, and a fearful shaking seized me.
(21)
In a stormy sky. Literally, "and their heaven was water" (Charles, p. 81).
13 Violently agitated and trembling, I fell upon my face. In the vision I looked.
14 And behold there was another habitation more spacious than
the former, every entrance to which was open before me, erected in
the midst of
a vibrating flame.
15 So greatly did it excel in all points, in glory, in magnificence, and in magnitude, that it is impossible to describe to you either the splendour or the extent of it.
16 Its floor was on fire; above were lightnings and agitated stars, while its roof exhibited a blazing fire.
17 Attentively I surveyed it, and saw that it contained an
exalted throne;
18 The appearance of which was like that of frost; while its circumference resembled the orb of the brilliant sun; and
there was
the voice of the cherubim.
19 From underneath this mighty throne rivers of flaming fire issued.
20 To look upon it was impossible.
21
One great in glory sat upon it:
22 Whose robe was brighter than the sun, and whiter than snow.
23 No angel was capable of penetrating to view the face of Him, the Glorious and the Effulgent; nor could any mortal behold Him. A fire was flaming around Him.
24 A fire also of great extent continued to rise up before Him; so that not one of those who surrounded Him was capable of approaching Him, among the myriads of myriads (22) who were before Him. To Him holy consultation was needless. Yet did not the sanctified, who were near Him, depart far from Him either by night or by day; nor were they removed from Him. I also was so far advanced, with a veil on my face, and trembling. Then the Lord with his
own mouth called me, saying,
Approach hither, Enoch, at my holy word.
(22)
Myriads of myriads. Ten thousand times ten thousands (Knibb, p. 99).
25 And He raised me up, making me draw near even to the entrance. My eye was directed to the ground.
Chapter 15
1 Then addressing me, He spoke and said, Hear, neither be afraid, O righteous Enoch, you scribe of righteousness: approach hither, and hear my voice. Go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent you to pray for them, You ought to pray for men, and not men for you.
2 Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, which endures for ever, and have lain with women; have defile yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring? (23)
(23)
An impious offspring. Literally, "giants" (Charles, p. 82; Knibb, p. 101).
3 You
being spiritual, holy, and possessing a life which is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in blood; have ed in the blood of men; and have done as those
who are
flesh and blood do.
4 These however die and perish.
5 Therefore have I given to them wives, that they
might cohabit with them;
that sons might be born of them; and that this might be transacted upon earth.
6 But
you from the beginning
were made spiritual, possessing a life which is
eternal, and not subject to death for ever.
7 Therefore I made not wives for you, because, being spiritual, your dwelling is in heaven.
8
Now the
giants, who have been born of
spirit and of
flesh, shall be called upon earth
evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation.
Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the
holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation.
Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the
spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the
spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the
habitation of
terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. (24)
(24) Note the many implications of vss. 3-8 regarding the
progeny of
evil spirits.
The New Testament clearly teaches that there are two classes of beings on the earth. The first kind are purely humans who are meek, weak and without the charismatic power to control others. The second kind is a kind of creature who can transform themselves into "angels of light." That is they are preachers or messengers of the gospel. Where else would Satan use all of his wiles to place his agents. Didn't Judas become one of the twelve apostles? Not without God's will but the message is that Satan has his agents undoubtedly in the majority of the world's pulpits.
For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places. Ep.6:12
NOW the
Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils; 1Ti.4:1
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils (demons who distribute fortunes), and the habitation of every foul spirit, and a
cage of every
unclean and
hateful bird (who rise above the mountains). Re.18:2
Katoiketerion (g2732) kat-oy-kay-tay'-ree-on; from a der. of 2730; a dwelling-place: - habitation.
The "habitations" under the control of Satan will look much like those of the Holy Spirit:
Eph 2:1 AND you hath he
quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2: 18 For through him we both have access
by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 2: 19 Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God;
Cenos (g3581) xen'-os; appar. a prim. word;
foreign (lit. alien, or fig. novel); by impl. a guest or (vice-versa)
entertainer: - host, strange (-r).
from the temple:
Numbers 2:47-54. But the Levites . . .were not numbered among them--They were obliged to keep a register of their own. They were
consecrated to the
priestly office,
which
in all countries has been exempted customarily, and in Israel by the express authority of God, from military service.
The
custody of the things devoted to the
divine service was assigned to them so exclusively, that
"no stranger"--that is, no person,
not even an Israelite of any
other tribe, was allowed, under penalty of death, to approach these [Nu 16:40].
Hence they
encamped round the tabernacle in order that there should be no manifestation of the divine displeasure among the people.
Thus the numbering of the people was subservient to the
separation of the Levites from those Israelites who were
fit for military service,
>
and to the practical introduction of the law respecting the
first-born,
>
for whom the
tribe of
Levi became a substitute [Ex 13:2 Nu 3:12].
Numbers 3:5-10. Bring the tribe of Levi near--The Hebrew word "bring near" is a
sacrificial term, denoting the presentation of an
offering to God; and the use of the word, therefore,
in connection with the Levites, signifies that
they were devoted
as an
offering
to the sanctuary, no longer to be employed in any common offices.
They were
subordinate to the priests,
who alone enjoyed the privilege of entering the holy place;
Eph 2: 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
[That which the Apostles laid]
Eph 2: 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an
holy temple (naos) in the
Lord:
Naos (g3485) nah-os'; from a prim. naio, (to dwell); a fane, shrine, temple: - shrine, temple. Comp. 2411
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; Mt.27:51
Hieron (g2411) hee-er-on'; neut of 2413; a sacred place, i.e. the entire precincts (whereas
3485 denotes the central sanctuary itself) of the Temple (at Jerus. or elsewhere): - temple.
In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God
through the Spirit. Ep 2:22
Katoikeo (g2730) kat-oy-keh'-o; from 2596 and 3611; to house permanently, i.e. reside (lit. or fig.): - dwell (-er), inhabitant (- ter).
You can sweep your habitation clean of these evil spirits but unless you have a total teaching program you are left empty. As a result,
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself
seven other spirits more wicked than
himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto
this
wicked generation. Mt.12:45
Of that wicked generation, Jesus identified the total clergy as vipers or poisonous snakes
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Mt.3:7
When Babylon falls:
And the voice of
harpers, and musicians, and of
pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; Revelation 18:22
BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but
try the spirits whether they are
of God: because many
false prophets are gone out into the world. 1Jn.4:1
Not as Cain, who was
of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his
own works were
evil, and his brothers righteous.1Jn.3:12
Poneros (g4190) pon-ay-ros'; from a der. of 4192;
hurtful, i.e. evil (prop. in effect or influence, and thus differing from 2556, which refers rather to essential character, as well as from 4550, which indicates degeneracy from original virtue); fig. calamitous; also (pass.) ill, i.e. diseased; but espec. (mor.) culpable, i.e. derelict, vicious, facinorous; neut. (sing.) mischief, malice or (plur.) guilt; masc. (sing.) the devil, or (plur.) sinners: - bad, evil, grievous, harm, , malicious, wicked (-ness). See also 4191.
9 The
spirits of the giants
shall be like
clouds, (25) which shall
oppress,
corrupt, fall, content, and
bruise upon earth.
(25) The Greek word for "clouds" here,
nephelas, may disguise a more ancient reading,
Napheleim (Nephilim).
A cloud is something which keeps the "light" from shining. However, these clouds as satanic spirits have no water:
These are
spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,
feeding
themselves without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth,
without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Jude 12
Nephele (g3507) nef-el'-ay; from 3509; prop. cloudiness, i.e. (concr.) a cloud: - cloud.
These "clouds" were also "roving stars" or
planets. In many documents these were identified with the agents of Satan who deceived the Sethites (Non-Cainites) with
instrumental music and mixed choirs.
The "ten thousand" God will bring will be to execute judgment upon the "watchers" who still seduce people with instrumental
music, wine, mixed-sex choirs and practice abortion.
Nephele
(Nephalê). Wife of Athamas and mother of Phrixus and
Hellé. Hence Hellé is called by Ovid, Nepheleïs. See Athamas.
10
They shall
cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they
shall be thirsty; they shall be
concealed, and shall not (26) rise up against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction.
(26)
Shall not. Nearly all manuscripts contain this negative, but Charles, Knibb, and others believe the "not" should be deleted so the phrase reads "shall rise up."
Furthermore, of this wicked generation Jesus said and we repeat:
But whereunto shall I
liken this generation? It is like unto
children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Mt.11:16
And saying, We have
piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and
ye have not lamented. Mt 11:17
After warning Israel of their idol worship with
music in chapters 5 and 6, in chapter 8 he shows the results:
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The
end is come upon my people of Israel;
I will not again pass by them any more. Amos 8:2
And the
songs of the
temple shall be
howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall
cast them forth with silence. Amos 8:3
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, Amos 8:4
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the
sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? Amos 8:5
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: Amos 8:9
And I will turn your
feasts into mourning, and all your
songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Amos 8:10
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a
thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord: Amos 8:11
And they shall
wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro
to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. Amos 8:12
Perhaps the world has never experienced such a host of people selling Christianity through
music and "praise" while their "customers" are honestly looking for spiritual food but just become drunk on new wine.
Chapter 16
1 And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever
their spirits depart from their bodies, let their flesh, that which is perishable, be without judgment. (27) Thus shall they perish, until the day of the great consummation of the great world.
A destruction shall take place of the Watchers and the impious.
(27)
Let their flesh, be without judgment. Or, "their flesh shall be destroyed
before the judgment" (Knibb, p. 102).
2 And now to the Watchers, who have sent you to pray for them, who in the beginning were in heaven,
3
Say, In heaven have you been;
secret things, however, have not been manifested to you;
yet have you known a
reprobated mystery.
4 And this you have related to
women in the hardness of your heart, and by
that mystery have women and mankind
multiplied evils upon the earth.
5 Say to them, Never therefore shall you obtain peace.
Chapter 17
1 They raised me up into a certain place, where there was (28) the appearance of a burning fire; and when they pleased they assumed the likeness of men.
(28)
Where there was. Or, "where they [the angels] were like" (Knibb, p. 103).
2 They carried me to a lofty spot, to a
mountain, the top of which reach to heaven.
3 And I beheld the receptacles of light and of thunder at the extremities of the place, where it was deepest. There was a bow of fire, and arrows in their quiver, a sword of fire, and every species of lightning.
4 Then they elevated me to a
babbling stream, (29) and to a fire in the west, which received all the setting of the sun.
I came to a river of fire, which flowed like water, and emptied itself into the great sea westwards.
(29)
To a babbling stream. Literally, "to
water of life, which spoke" (Laurence, p. 23).
5 I saw every large river, until I arrived at the great darkness. I went to where all of flesh migrate; and I beheld the mountains of the gloom which constitutes winter, and the place from which issues the water in every abyss.
6 I saw also the mouths of all the rivers in the world, and the mouths of the deep.
Chapter 18
1 I then surveyed the receptacles of all the winds, perceiving that they contributed to adorn the whole creation, and
to preserve
the foundation of the earth.
2 I surveyed the
stone
which supports the corners of the earth.
3 I also beheld the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the firmament of heaven.
4 And I beheld the winds occupying the exalted sky.
5 Arising in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven.
6 I saw the winds which turn the sky, which cause the orb of the sun and of all the stars to set; and over the earth I saw the winds which support the clouds.
7 I saw the path of the angels.
8 I perceived at the extremity of the earth the firmament of heaven above it. Then I passed on towards the south;
9 Where burnt, both by day and night, six mountains formed of glorious stones; three towards the east, and three towards the south.
10 Those which were towards the east were of a variegated stone; one of which was of margarite, and another of antimony. Those towards the south were of a red stone. The middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God;
a throne composed
of alabaster, the top of which was of sapphire. I saw, too, a blazing fire hanging over all the mountains.
11 And there I saw a place on the other side of an extended territory, where waters were collected.
12 I likewise beheld terrestrial fountains, deep in the fiery columns of heaven.
13 And in the columns of heaven I beheld
fires, which descended without number, but neither on high, nor into the deep. Over these fountains also I perceived a place which had neither the firmament of heaven above it, nor the solid ground underneath it; neither was there water above it; nor anything on wing; but the spot was desolate.
14 And there I beheld
seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating me.
15 Then the angel said, This place, until the consummation of heaven and earth,
will be the
prison of the stars, and the host of heaven.
16 The
stars which
roll over fire are those which
transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they
came not in their proper season. Therefore was He offended with them, and bound them, until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious
stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze.28:13
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down
in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezek 28:14
Chapter
19
1 Then Uriel said, Here the angels, who
cohabited with women, appointed their leaders;
2 And being numerous in appearance (30) made men profane, and caused them to err;
so that they
sacrificed to devils as to gods. For in the great day
there shall be a judgment, with which they shall be judged, until they are consumed; and their wives also shall be
judged, who led astray the angels of heaven that they might salute them.
(30)
Being numerous in appearance. Or, "assuming many forms" (Knibb, p. 106).
See what happened at Mount Sinai.
MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 1 Cor 10: 1
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 1 Cor 10: 2
And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 1 Cor 10: 3
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Cor 10: 4
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 1 Cor 10: 5
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not after evil things, as they also ed. 1 Cor 10: 6
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and
rose up to play. 1 Cor 10: 7
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 1 Cor 10: 8
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 1 Cor 10:9
But I say, that the things which the
Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to
devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 1 Cor 10:20
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the
cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lords table, and of the
table of devils. 1 Cor 10:21
In discussing the translation of Enoch,
The Recognitions of Clement expresses the common understanding. After the Flood:
Moreover, perverse and
erratic religions were introduced, to which the greater part of men gave themselves up, by occasion of
holidays and solemnities, instituting drinkings and banquets,
following
pipes, and
flutes, and
harps, and diverse kinds of
musical
instruments, and indulging themselves in all kinds of drunkenness and
luxury.
Hence every kind of error took rise; hence they invented
groves and
altars, fillets and victims, and after drunkenness they were agitated as if with
mad emotions.
By this means
power was given to the demons to enter into minds of this sort, so that they seemed to lead
insane dances and to
rave like Bacchanalians
3 And I, Enoch, I alone saw the likeness of the end of all things. Nor did any human being see it, as I saw it.
In another version:
Chapter19
1 And Uriel said to me: 'Here shall stand the
angels who have connected themselves with women, and their
spirits assuming many different forms are
defiling mankind and
shall lead them astray into sacrificing to
demons as gods, (here shall they stand) till the day of the great judgement in
2 which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. And the women also of the angels
who
3 went astray shall become sirens.' And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen.
After Judah went astray with a Canaanite woman:
23. Now I have much grief, my children, because of your ness, and
witchcrafts, and
idolatries,
which ye will work against the kingdom,
following them that have
familiar spirits (The Witch of Endor used an empty wineskin as a echo instrument)
The familiar spirit is not a 'little channeler' but is a
musical instrument:
Owb (h178) obe; from the same as 1 (appar. through the idea of prattling a father's name); prop. a mumble, i. e. a water-skin (from its hollow sound); hence a necromancer (ventriloquist, as from a jar): - bottle, familiar spirit.
Similarly, a Psaltery is:
Nebel (h5035) neh'-bel; or neÇbel nay'-bel; from 5034; a skin- bag for liquids (from collapsing when empty); hence a vase (as similar in shape when full); also a lyre (as having a body of like form): - bottle, pitcher, psaltery, vessel, viol
Nabel (h5034) naw-bale'; a prim. root; to wilt; gen. to fall away, fail, faint; fig. to be foolish or (mor.) wicked; causat. to despise, disgrace: - disgrace, dishonour, lightly esteem, fade (away, - ing), fall (down, -ling, off), do foolishly, come to nought, * surely, make vile, wither..
The
sounding brass among the Greeks (1 Corinthians 13:1) was a more sophisticated "familiar spirit."
Echeo (g2278) ay-kheh'-o; from 2279; to make a loud noise, i.e. reverberate: - roar, sound.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the
sea and the waves roaring; Lu.21:25
Echos (g2279) ay'-khos; of uncert. affin.; a loud or confused noise ("echo"), i.e. roar: fig. a rumor: - fame, sound.
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, Heb. 12:18
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: Heb.12:19
ye will make your daughters
singing s and harlots for
divinations and
demons of error,
and ye will be
mingled in the
pollutions of the Gentiles:
for which things' sake the Lord shall bring upon you famine and pestilence, death and the sword, avenging siege, and
dogs for the rending in pieces of enemies,
and
revilings of friends, destruction and blighting of eyes, children slaughtered, wives carried off,
possessions plundered,
temple of God in flames, your land desolated, your own selves enslaved among the Gentiles,
and they shall make
some of you eunuchs for their wives; and whenever ye will return to the Lord with humility of heart, repenting and walking in all the commandments of God, then will the Lord visit you in mercy and in love, bringing you from out of the of your enemies.
24. And after these things
shall a Star arise to you from Jacob in peace, and a Man shall rise from my seed, like the Sun of righteousness, walking with the sons of men in
meekness and
righteousness, and no sin shall be found in Him.
And the heavens shall be
opened above Him, to shed forth the
blessing of the Spirit from the Holy Father.
