I have always been fascinated by how some religions come up with their doctrines and justify their findings. I realize this is not the sort of thing too many are interested in; but since a reader emailed me this article requesting my take on it, I felt it might be of value to some other readers as well.
The following article comes from a New Age religious site. (http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/) It demonstrates two things concerning the New Age movement; that they are not guided by the spirit and they do not believe what Yahuwah teaches us in the first five books of the Scriptures, which He personally dictated to Moshe while on top of My Sinai for two sets of 40 days. Meanwhile, the criteria intended to set us on the path to salvation, “believe, repent and be baptized” leaves little space for doubt and disbelief. The word of Yahuwah is the only thing in this topsy-turvy world that we can believe. But, there are always going to be some who think that the Almighty Creator of the Universe is wrong and they are right.
The New Age movement is admittedly science, not spirit, based. Science does not even recognize a spiritual dimension because it cannot satisfy any of the scientific criteria. That states that whatever they are studying must be visible and measureable. The spiritual realm is neither. As far as they are concerned, it does not exist. Therefore, we are not going to find a scientific answer to a spiritual question that is anywhere near factual.
So, let’s get on with this critique. I will highlight the areas of the article being addressed and insert my comments where they apply.

Enoch & the Watchers: The Real Story of Angels & Demons
February 15, 2014 By davidjones
By MICHAEL HOWARD
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and
Every visible thing in the world is put under the charge of an angel.
– St Augustine
About the only way that I can characterize the relationship of Angels towards men is that of a caregiver or nanny. At the moment, we are of a lower status than angels, but eventually we will be of a higher order – the same as Yahushua. Once the child is grown, he has no more need of a nanny; so, the role of angels will change once this mission is complete. It is then that man will judge the angels, and the ones that sinned will suffer the same fate as HaSatan.
In 2002 the British newspaper The Sunday Telegraph reported that the Vatican had banned the generation of those angels who do not appear in the authorised texts of the Bible. This was an attempt to counter the influence of unnamed New Age groups who were allegedly recruiting new members within the Roman Catholic Church. In future, prayers were only to be directed to the three archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael who are mentioned in the Bible. According to the apocryphal and banned Book of Enoch these were the angelic beings responsible for binding the wicked fallen angels or Watchers who had transgressed God’s law. The news report said that the early Church had excluded the book, attributed to the Old Testament prophet and patriarch Enoch, from the authorised version of the Bible because it described these fallen angels and their activities.
Who are the Watchers or fallen angels and why was the early Church and the modern Vatican so concerned about them?
Genesis 6:1-4 says: “When men began to multiply on the face of the Earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and took them wives of all which they chose.” Traditionally the Ben Eloha or ‘sons of God’ numbered several hundred and they descended to Earth on Mount Harmon. Significantly this was a sacred place to both the Canaanites and the Hebrews who invaded their land. In later times shrines to the gods Baal, Zeus, Helios and Pan and the goddess Astarte were built on its slopes.
These Ben Elohim or ‘fallen angels’ were also known as the Watchers, the Grigori and the Irin. In Jewish mythology the Grigori were originally a superior order of angels who dwelt in the highest heaven with God and resembled human beings in their appearance.1 The title ‘Watcher’ simply means ‘one who watches’, ‘those who watch’, ‘those who are awake’ or ‘those who do not sleep’. These titles reflect the unique relationship between the Watchers and the human race since ancient times.
In the esoteric Luciferian tradition they were a special elite order of angelic beings created by God to be earthly shepherds of the first primitive humans. It was their task to observe and watch over the emerging human species and report back on their progress. However they were confined by the divine prime directive not to interfere in human evolution. Unfortunately they decided to ignore God’s command and defy his orders and become teachers to the human race, with unfortunate repercussions for both themselves and humanity.
Most of the information we have about the Watchers and their activities comes from the apocryphal Book of Enoch. In the orthodox Bible the prophet Enoch, from the Hebrew ‘hanokh’ or instructor, is a mysterious figure. In Genesis 4:16-23 he is described as the son of Cain, the “first murderer,” and the first city built by his father is named after him. Further on in Genesis 5:18-19, and several generations later, Enoch is named as the son of Jared, and it is during his lifetime that the Watchers either arrive or incarnate in human bodies.
Compare
Ge. 4:17 - And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 - And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
With
Ge.5:18 - And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
19 - And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
20 - And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
21 - And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 - And Enoch walked with Elohim after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 - And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 - And Enoch walked with Elohim: and he was not; for Elohim took him.
These are obviously two separate human beings. How could this author confuse the two or think they are one and the same. Many people sport the name “Gary” but that does not mean that they are one and the same person as me.
In the apocryphal Book of Jubilee, allegedly dictated by “an angel of the Lord” to Moses on Mount Sinai when he also received the Ten Commandments, it says that Enoch was “the first among men that are born on Earth [sic] who learn writing, knowledge and wisdom.” It says that Enoch wrote down “the signs of Heaven” (the zodiac signs) according to their months in a book. This was so human beings would know the seasons of the years in relation to the order of the months and their respective stellar and planetary influences. The indication is that Enoch received this information from extraterrestrial angelic sources, i.e. the Watchers, and therefore he was a cultural exemplar.
This author seems to ignore the phrase, “And, Enoch walked with Elohim”. Therefore, would it not be reasonable that Enoch received his knowledge directly from Elohim, rather than the fallen angels?
The Fallen Angels Instruct Humanity
Two hundred of the ‘fallen angels’ descended from the heavenly realm on to the summit of Mount Hermon and they were so smitten by the beauty of human women that, using their new material bodies, they had sex with them. This further incurred Yahweh’s wrath and, according to the Bible, the consequence of this miscegenation between the Fallen Ones and mortals led to the creation of half-angelic, half-human offspring (Genesis 6:4).
These children were called the Nefelim or Nephilim and they were the giant race that once inhabited Old Earth. The fallen angels taught their wives and children a variety of new technological skills, magical knowledge and occult wisdom. This suggests that psychic abilities and magical powers were originally an ancient inheritance from the angelic realm given to early humans. In the Luciferian tradition this is known in spiritual and metaphorical terms as the ‘witch blood’, ‘elven blood’ or ‘faery blood’ that is possessed by witches and wizards.
In the Book of Enoch it says that the leader of the fallen angels was called Azazel, and he is often identified with Lucifer (the Lightbringer) or Lumiel (‘the light of God’). He taught men to forge swords and make shields and breastplates (body armour). Azazel also taught them metallurgy and how to mine from the earth and use different metals. To the women he taught the art of making bracelets, ornaments, rings and necklaces from precious metals and stones. He also showed them how to ‘beautify their eyelids’ with kohl and the use of cosmetic tricks to attract and seduce the opposite sex. From these practices Enoch says there came much ‘godlessness’ and men and women committed fornication, were led astray and became corrupt in their ways.
The implication may be that it was not the teaching of the mining of metals, but the purpose for which they were being made that upset Yahuwah. Here they were making weapons (obviously for war) and trinkets to beautify the women, leading to vanity and sexual promiscuity.
This was the basis for the early Church condemning the fallen angels for teaching women to make necklaces from pieces of gold and bracelets for their arms. St Paul said that women should cover their head in the synagogue (Corinthians: 11:5-6). This was because the fallen angels were supposed to be attracted to human females with long flowing hair. The custom of women covering their hair in churches is still found in Roman Catholicism and also in the customs of Islam.
This author leaves out Judaism as following this custom as well.
1 Cor. 11:5 - But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 - For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 - For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of Elohim: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 - For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 - Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 - For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
Man was created in the image of Elohim and women are the glory of man. That is the natural order of the human race. Today there are a number of women’s groups trying to change that order. However, women brought this shame onto themselves: being the first to eat the forbidden fruit; allowing vanity to guide their lives and fornicating freely with the angels and whoever else they chose. Everyone is responsible for their free will choices and their actions. No unjust action will go unpunished..
Shaul (Paul) gives two reasons here for this custom. The first is that it is simply the natural order of human beings. The second is that it also had something to do with the angels (Paul does not explain that statement.).
Jamieson Fausset and Brown
! Cor. 11:10 - power on her head--the kerchief: French couvre chef, head-covering, the emblem of "power on her head"; the sign of her being under man's power, and exercising delegated authority under him. Paul had before his mind the root-connection between the Hebrew terms for "veil" (radid), and "subjection" (radad).
because of the angels--who are present at our Christian assemblies (compare Psalms 138:1 , "gods," that is, angels), and delight in the orderly subordination of the several ranks of God's worshippers in their respective places, the outward demeanor and dress of the latter being indicative of that inward humility which angels know to be most pleasing to their common Lord ( 1 Corinthians 4:9 , Ephesians 3:10 ,Ecclesiastes 5:6 ). HAMMOND quotes CHRYSOSTOM, "Thou standest with angels; thou singest with them; thou hymnest with them; and yet dost thou stand laughing?" BENGEL explains, "As the angels are in relation to God, so the woman is in relation to man. God's face is uncovered; angels in His presence are veiled ( Isaiah 6:2 ). Man's face is uncovered; woman in His presence is to be veiled. For her not to be so, would, by its indecorousness, offend the angels ( Matthew 18:10 Matthew 18:31 ). She, by her weakness, especially needs their ministry; she ought, therefore, to be the more careful not to offend them."
It was not the fallen angels that Shaul was referring to but the righteous angels believed to be present during worship serves.
The fallen angel Shemyaza, another form of Azazel, is said by Enoch to have taught humans the use of root cuttings and the magical art of enchantment; the fallen angel Armaros taught the resolving (banishing) of enchantments; Baraqijal taught astrology; Kokabiel, the knowledge of the constellations (astronomy); Chazaqiel, the knowledge of the clouds and the sky (weather lore and divination); Shamsiel, the signs of the sun (the solar mysteries); Sariel the courses of the moon (the lunar cycles used in horticulture and agriculture and the esoteric lunar mysteries); Penemuel instructed humans in the art of writing and reading; and Kashdejan taught the diagnosis and healing of diseases and the science of medicine.
It is obvious from these descriptions of the teaching abilities of the Watchers that they were cultural exemplars and the bringers of civilisation to the early human race. It is therefore strange that in orthodox Judeo-Christian religious texts they are misrepresented as evil corrupters of humanity.
The fallen angels were “misrepresented”? Give me a break! The poor devils! This is basically Gnostic teaching. The Gnostics believed and taught that the Elohim of the Old Testament was nasty and evil – that Yahushua (or their Jesus) replaced that evil Elohim. (Thus, the doing away with the OT laws). They also believed that they were the enlightened ones (through various levels of enlightenment) and that everyone else was ignorant.
Of course, we see no such corruption today with the advancement of technology (sic). I am speaking tongue in check, of course. Technology would be great if used for righteous purposes; but it is not. It is not the technology that is bad, it is what it is used for. It was the same situation in Enoch’s day.
Some idea of the original exalted status and real nature of the ‘sons of God’ and ‘the angels of the Lord’ can be found hidden in the ancient annals of angelic lore. For instance, Kokabiel is described as “a great angelic prince who rules over the stars.”2 In the Sibylline Oracles, Araqiel is one of the fallen angels who guides the souls of the dead to judgement in the underworld.
Shamsiel, possible originally a Babylonian sun god, was called “the prince of Paradise” because he was one of the guardian angels who watched over the gates to Eden. In this role he took Moses to see the heavenly garden and he also watched over the treasures of King David and his son Solomon the Wise. This reference may be to spiritual treasures rather than physical gold and jewels. In the Jewish Zohar he is named as the chief aide-de-camp to the mighty Archangel Uriel and bore his standard into battle.
Sariel was an angel associated with fertility of the earth and the spring equinox (northern hemisphere) in March. He governed the martial zodiac sign of Aries the Ram and was invoked for protection against the malefic power of the Evil Eye.
All throughout the OT all angels (good and bad) are referred to as the “sons of Elohim. Angels, like man, were all created in the image of Yahuwah. They, like man, will be changed following their judgment by man. Both will be Elohim beings in the future Kingdom.
Just because ancient pagan texts state something as a fact, does not necessarily mean that it is fact. The Word of Yahuwah is the only text we can believe is authentic and true.
The truth of this fact lies in the recently discovered “Bible Codes”. It is also interesting that they only appear in the Hebrew language, making one wonder if that language is the set apart language of Yahuwah. This code has been tested on numerous other books, including the Koran and English, Greek and other language translations of the Torah. It does not appear in any of them. The original Hebrew Torah (first five books) is the only book on Earth with YHWH’s signature found encoded in them. Using the Torah codes the Tetragrammaton is found in the first chapters of the first four books, and in the final chapter of the last book (Deuteronomy) in the last chapter (backwards).
It is the way of man to call good evil and evil good. So this author is obviously following in this phenomenon.
It is also a fact that a number of pagan deities originated with Noah and his son’s emerging from a watery deluge to father life on earth. They were not deified by either Yahuwah or themselves, but by men, following their deaths. With the Tower of Babel incident, every nation walked away with different names for these supposed deities. Does this fact make Noah and his sons evil? No, of course not! This was the work of evil men that followed after them.
Azazel – Lucifer – Lumiel
Azazel, the leader of the Watchers, as mentioned before, was identified with Lucifer or Lumiel. In the Quran it is said that Lucifer-Lumiel (Iblis) rebelled against Allah because he was told to bow down and worship the clay-born “man of earth” Adam and refused. He was forced to fight a battle in Heaven with the Archangel Mikael or Michael and his Army of the Lord. As a result Lumiel and his rebel angels were cast out of Heaven and fell down to Earth. Here Lumiel became the “Lord of the World” and in Christian mythology he was falsely identified with the bogeyman Satan. However, esoterically in the Luciferian tradition, Lumiel or Lumial is not an evil satanic figure luring humankind into temptation and acts of evil as the Church represents him. He is “the angel of God [who] rebelled against the static, established cosmic order and set in motion the forces of change and evolution…”3
Is this author really saying that HaSatan is good, not evil? Or is merely quoting the Luciferian doctrine? I can’t tell. Perhaps he will clarify his understanding later.
It is possible that Lumiel may have originated in Canaan as Shahar, the god of the morning star (Venus). He had a twin called Shalem, who was also symbolised by the planet Venus, but as the evening star. These divine bright and dark twins represented the solar light emerging from the darkness of night at dawn and descending into it at dusk. They were the children of the goddess Asherah, and there is archaeological evidence from the Middle East that the Hebrews adopted her worship when they settled in Canaan and practised it alongside reverence of the tribal storm god Yahweh. The Old Testament has several references to the continued worship of Asherah as “Queen of Heaven” by the allegedly monotheistic Hebrews. This took place at shrines in sacred groves on hills where they made offerings of cakes and incense to the goddess. In Canaanite mythology, Shahar, as the Lord of the Morning Star, was cast down from heaven for defying the high god El in the form of a lightning bolt. In that form he fertilised Mother Earth with his divine phallic force.
Ancient Israel certain did go whoring after other (pagan) gods following their conquest of the land of Canaan. But that does not make it right. Relegating Yahuwah to the diminished status of a mere storm “god” is like placing Him in the same category as all the other pagan deities. I can’t believe this guy can really be serious. I definitely cannot see any evidence that the Spirit of Yahuwah is working in him at all. There is nothing “New Age” about this doctrine at all. It is simply a lot of ancient lies revisited.
Azazel is represented as a metal-smith and a fire-working sorcerer or magician. He has also been compared to the biblical first smith Tubal-Cain, a descendant of the half-human, half-angelic “first murderer” Cain. The actual name Azazel has variously been translated as ‘god of victory’, ‘the strength of God’, ‘the strong god’ and even ‘the goat god’. In the apocryphal Apocalypse of Abraham, he is called “the lord of heathens” suggesting he was originally a pagan god. He has also been identified with the serpent in the Edenic myth that seduced the first woman and “Mother of All Living,” Eve. In a Persian text known as the Urm al-Khibab or The Primordial Book, dating from the 8th century CE, the angel Azazil or Azazel is said to have refused to acknowledge the superiority of Adam over the angels. As a result Allah expelled him and his rebel angels from the heavenly realm to live on Earth. More generally in Islamic lore Azazel or Azrael is the angel of death and he acts as a guide for the souls of the dead.
This author does not explain where he got the notion that Cain was half human and half angelic. According to the Scriptures, Cain and Abel were both born of Adam and Eve. There was no angelic DNA in either of them.
Angels were created before man with the expectation that they were to watch over the human race until they were changed into full Elohim beings. Then the angels would get their chance at qualifying for the Kingdom. HaSatan did not want to wait for that. He felt that his progression into the Kingdom should occur before men’s. In his vanity, he did not wish to serve anyone he deemed inferior to himself. All the unrighteous people on earth today think the same way. He should have learned the way of humility before learning the way of vanity.
In Leviticus 16:8-10 and in the Dead Sea Scrolls a curious Hebrew ritual is recorded that features Azazel as the name for the ‘scapegoat’ that takes on the communal sins of Israel. It says that the high priest Aaron took two goats from the flock and cast lots (practised divination) to choose which one would be the scapegoat and sacrificed as a “sin offering.” The Scrolls say that the high priest confessed all the “impurities of the children of Israel” over the head of the Azazel goat. By this ritually symbolic act he transferred to the unfortunate animal all their guilt and sins so they could be absolved of them. The goat was then either cast out into the wilderness to die or thrown over a cliff to be dashed to pieces on the rocks below.
This ancient and archetypal concept of the scapegoat sacrificed for the sins of the human race and abandoned in the wilderness is a powerful and potent motif that appears several times in biblical myths. It can be seen in the story of Cain who becomes an exiled wanderer on the Earth after being marked by God and banished “east of Eden” after killing his brother Abel. In one Jewish legend the wise King Solomon, a powerful magician who could summon and control demons, fell from grace because he “whored after foreign gods.” He was forced by God to leave Jerusalem and wander in the desert disguised as a beggar.
I have no recollection of this story about Solomon. I checked my Concordance and could find no reference to it. The only punishment mentioned in the Scriptures is that of having his Kingdom rent in two during his son’s reign.
Also after their exodus from slavery in Egypt, Moses and the Israelites were forced to spend forty years wandering in the desert before they were allowed to enter the Promised Land (Canaan). In Ancient Egyptian mythology, the dark god Set is represented as a divine outcast who dwells in the desert and, after she left Adam, his first wife Lilith or Liliya fled to the wilderness away from human habitation. In the New Testament Jesus wandered in the wilderness for forty days and nights. He was not accepted as a teacher in his own town of Nazareth and was rejected as the promised messiah by his people. When Jesus was crucified he symbolically took on the role of the sacrificial scapegoat who dies to cleanse the sins of the human race.
It is possible that the account of the ritual of the goat-god Azazel may have been an autumn equinox or harvest rite of Syrian, Hittite or Canaanite origin adopted by the Hebrews. Originally a goat would have been selected by means of a divination ritual and then offered to a desert god or demon that had to be placated by the shedding of blood. Eventually the sacrifice was made to Yahweh as a petition to forgive the sins of his followers. Azazel was popularly believed to have a retinue of hairy he-goat demons known as the se’irim who, like the Watchers, lusted after human women. It cannot be a total coincidence that the Church imagined the Devil or Satan in the form of a hairy half-human he-goat with a massive erect phallus who had sexual intercourse with his female worshippers at the Witches Sabbath.
Lev. 16:7 - And he shall take the two goats, and present them before Yahuwah at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 - And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Yahuwah, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 - And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which Yahuwah’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
10 - But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before Yahuwah, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
This was according to what Yahuwah instructed Moshe. It did not come from outside pagan influences. It is obvious that this author doubts Yahuwah and therefore cannot be rightfully called a believer. Since “belief” is the first step in the journey towards salvation, this author has obviously begun his journey on the wrong path.
Was it really the early church or pagan churches that pictured HaSatan so? I believe that the author is confusing the two.
Shemyaza is seen by some modern Luciferians as either the emissary of Lumiel or one of his avatars (an incarnated divine being in human form). He not only fell in love with human women, but also with the Babylonian deity Ishtar, the goddess of love and war. She promised to have sex with him if he would in return reveal to her the secret name of God. When Shemyaza told her, Ishtar used this forbidden knowledge to ascend to the stars and she reigned over the constellation of Pleiades or the Seven Sisters. While the other Watchers were rounded up by the archangels and punished by God, Shemyaza voluntarily repented his error and sentenced himself to hang upside down in the constellation of Orion the Hunter, with whom he is sometimes identified in the Luciferian tradition. In the Qabalistic tradition, Naamah, the sister of the biblical first smith Tubal-Cain, seduced Azazel and she has been associated with Ishtar.4

A term used in Hindu religion to indicate the incarnation of a deity. Avatara is a Sanskrit word meaning "descent," and the Hindu gods take on animal or human form in different ages for the welfare of the world. In Hindu mythology, the god Brahma (originally known as the creator Prajapati) became successively incarnated as a boar, a tortoise, and a fish, to assist the development of the world in prehistory.
I don’t think that pulling stories out of pagan religion to support his argument is very advantageous to his cause.
“A race between Gods and men”
As we have seen, the end result of the illicit relationships between the Watchers and “the daughters of men” was, according to Judeo-Christian propaganda, the spawning of a monstrous race of warlike, blood-drinking cannibalistic giants called the Nephilim. Genesis 6:4 less dramatically describes them as “the mighty men of old, men of renown.” At first they were fed manna (ambrosia or the food of the Gods?) by Yahweh to stop them consuming human flesh, but they rejected it. They slaughtered animals for food instead and then began to hunt down and eat human prey.
It has been speculated that this legend is based on the culinary habits of the nomadic desert herdsmen in the Middle East, who were voracious meat-eaters. In the biblical myth of Cain and Abel the dispute between the two brothers that led to the first murder is over the nature of the offerings made to Yahweh. Abel, a “keeper of sheep” or nomadic herdsman offered the “firstlings of the flock…” and Cain, who was “a tiller of the ground” or farmer-gardener offered “the fruit of the ground” (Genesis 4:2-4). Abel’s burnt offerings of animal flesh and blood were pleasing to Yahweh, but he rejected the vegetables, cereal and fruit offered by his brother. On a purely material level, as opposed to a mythic and spiritual metaphor, this story may reflect the struggle for dominance between nomadic herdsmen and the early farmers of the Neolithic Age in the Middle East.
Again, this author demonstrates only limited knowledge of the Scriptures.
Gen. 4:3 - And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Yahuwah.
4 - And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Yahuwah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 - But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 - And Yahuwah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 - If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
This event was not about what Cain sacrificed by his attitude. Blood is the only atonement for sin. If it was indeed a sin offering that Cain was offering, it should have been a blood offering. If it was an offering requiring produce from the ground, then he likely did not pick the best of his produce for the offering.
All that Cain had to do to correct his mistake was to change his attitude and offer an offering out of respect, not indifference. Instead (out of jealousy) he killed his brother, Abel. Cain was expelled because of this act, not because of the inferior sacrifice.
This account came directly from Yahuwah’s lips to Moshe’s ears. Who is one to believe, the Almighty Creator of all things or this unrighteous pretender to the faith?
The idea of semi-divine heroes was born from the ancient myths of unions between the Gods and mortals. The poet and writer Pindor (518-438 BCE) described the heroes of the past as “a race between Gods and men.” In the Dead Sea Scrolls the terrible human-eating Nephilim are in fact described as the guardians of arcane knowledge who “knew all the mysteries of nature and science.” There are also oblique references to the breeding techniques they taught that suggest they instructed early humans in the domestication and rearing of animals.
Rather, the union of angels and human women came first. Then came the ancient myths. It would be interesting to know how this information was propagated following the flood. How would the succeeding generations have even known of these things if one of the sons of Noah hadn’t taught them?
If these angels were so knowledgeable, why did they not teach man how to build automobiles and airplanes? Why did they not help man invent the computer? Why did they only teach basic, rudimentary and primitive things? Some things were obviously preserved for the end days.
Additional references also hint at experiments that led to the creation of ‘monsters’ by the interbreeding of animals with different and unrelated species. In modern theosophical occultism there are legends about the lost continent of Atlantis that claim its scientists bred half-human, half-animal hybrids as a slave race. In our own time scientists are experimenting with genetic research and animal cloning experiments. It is widely rumoured that in China there have recently been abortive attempts to create a new half-human, half-animal hybrid species. These unnatural experiments led to the cataclysmic disaster that destroyed Atlantis. This also relates to the destruction of the Nephilim and the early human race in the biblical Flood. Records of such an event can also be found in the mythology of ancient peoples worldwide and especially among the Babylonians in the Middle East. In fact, it is claimed that the story of Noah and the Flood in the Old Testament originated in Babylonian and Sumerian myths.
Of course pagan traditions are going to include stories of a flood. It was the most horrific episode in all of human history. All societies on earth have stories of giants and monsters roaming the earth. Well, we already have plenty of archeological evidence of that. Therefore, it must be said that the origins of these stories lies in the actual existence of such creatures, not in the myths about them.
Greek Mythology promotes the idea that the gods came from a watery chaos and brought the chaos to order. Those “gods’ could have been none other than Noah and his three sons. It was as if the pre-flood world never existed. So it is obvious that the so-called myths had some basis in factual events that once took place on the earth. Of course that does not mean that these myths are actually factual themselves.
10,000 BCE and the End of the Ice Age
It is known that around 10,000 BCE there seems to have been a cultural explosion that transformed early humankind. (Modern man was not even on the earth at that time) At the end of the last Ice Age the first signs of agriculture appeared in the Middle East with a shift from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle to that of settled farming. This marked the beginning of civilisation in this area. As early as 9500 BCE barley, wheat and rye were being cultivated and oats, peas and lentils were being grown by our Neolithic ancestors in what is now modern Kurdistan, between Turkey and Iraq. At the same time dogs, goats and sheep were also domesticated. Within a thousand years copper and lead smelting was being practised in Anatolia (modern Turkey) and archaeologists believe this process was first discovered in Kurdistan, along with weaving and pottery making. The ancient Kurdish culture was also the first to develop a script and was one of the earliest literate societies in the Middle East.
The Kurds claim to be the descendants of the ‘Children of the Djinn’ (spirits), the offspring of a mating between the djinns and mortal women. In some parts of Kurdistan, especially among the sect of Yezedis, who worship the Peacock Angel (Azazel, the leader of the fallen angels), can be found tall, fair-haired people with blue eyes. Although anthropologists believe they may be of ancient European ancestry, popular folk belief among the Kurds says they are descendants of the ‘Children of the Djinn’, who in ancient times brought civilisation to early humankind.
In general the ancient Middle East was known as ‘the cradle of civilisation’ with the earliest city-states being founded in the Mesopotamian area (modern Iraq and Iran). The early indigenous people of the region, the Sumerians and Akkadians, developed the first written language, studied astronomy and created libraries. The Babylonians and Assyrians followed them and in the mythology of all these races are stories of how the Gods descended to Earth and taught them the arts of civilisation.
According to Zechariah Stitchin, a leading anthropologist, who first directed the world’s attention to the mysterious planet, Nibiru, and the race of aliens that supposedly inhabit that planet and visited mankind over 3600 years ago, the Sumerian race was the first to develop a written language. I have no idea if the Kurds are in anyway related to the Sumerians.
In the Book of Enoch it says that when Yahweh saw the lawlessness, chaos, corruption and sexual immorality that had been caused by the interaction of the Watchers and humans he decided to intervene through the agency of the archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. He commanded Raphael to bind Azazel hand and foot like a sacrificial goat and cast him into a deep ravine in the desert. Gabriel was sent on a divine mission to destroy “the bastards and reprobates” and “the children of the Watchers amongst men.”5 The Archangel Michael, the commander of the Army of God, was sent to arrest Shemyaza and bind him “under the earth” until Judgement Day. As we have seen, the fallen angel repented his sins and sentenced himself to cosmic exile among the stars.
The author presents this statement as a fact. I contend that we have seen nothing of the sort – only how good he is at twisting the facts. Unlike humans, there is no hope of salvation for any angel that has sinned. Any remorse they feel is toward the punishment they received, not for the act they committed.
The Book of Jubilee says that the archangels bound the Watchers “in the depths of the earth” and in Judaic lore they are imprisoned in a mysterious “second Heaven.” However, it is also said that some of these “mighty warriors” have a special place reserved for them in Sheol, the Jewish underworld. There they are said to lie in state “with shield and spear intact.”
Sheol simply means, a pit or a grave. There is no relationship between sheol and hell or the “Jewish underworld”. Just because the English translators mistranslated “sheol” as “hell”, does not mean that it is accurate. In many cases, the translators transliterated, rather than translated such terms. In numerous cases they translated from the corrupted Greek Septuagint rather than from the Hebrew Torah, where the terms had already been transliterated. The difference between the two is that a translation deals with the actual word and a transliteration deals with the meaning of the word and substitutes a pagan understanding of the word or phrase. The English translators did pretty much the same thing.
Christian O’Brien has suggested6 there is a connection between the biblical Watchers and the semi-divine, semi-mythical Tuatha De Danann (Children of the goddess Dana). This race of ancient magicians descended to Earth on the sacred hill of Tara in prehistoric Ireland. With the coming of Christianity, the Tuatha De Danann was banished into the ‘hollow hills’ and became the Sidhe (Shee) or ‘Shining Ones’, the elves and faeries of Irish folklore. There has always been a strong belief among the peasantry in Ireland that the Good People or faeries were originally the fallen angels who sided with Lucifer in the Battle of Heaven.
Well, I suppose to believe any of this Irish folklore, one first has to believe in fairies and leprechauns. I don’t believe in either. Surely much folklore is utter nonsense; but at one time, there may have been a spark of truth. All are rooted in the advent of these watchers descending to earth to mate with human women. All tell of these watchmen bringing all sorts of knowledge to mankind, and producing giant offspring. In this regard, they agree with the Scriptures.
In this article we have constantly referred to the Watchers as angelic beings with a spiritual form who incarnated in physical bodies to have sexual relations with mortal women. In recent years a considerable amount of speculative literature has been published suggesting that instead they were of earthly origin. Popular best-selling authors such as Andrew Collins,7 Graham Hancock and Ian Lawson have claimed that the biblical myth of the Watchers represents memories of a primeval ‘elder race’ of super-humans belonging to a lost civilisation who taught their technology to more primitive people. Lawson has claimed that this (unknown) ancient race may have been spiritually advanced souls who incarnated to help early humankind and were corrupted by them in the process. Collins has also recently launched a new project to investigate the magical aspects of the legend.
This, like the theory of evolution, is merely an attempt to discredit the Scriptures and the Almighty Living Creator. Since the beginning of humanity, following the original sin, man has tried his best to deny Yahuwah and walk his own path. Today, we can clearly see where that has led us. Are we to believe Yahuwah and His prophets, or are we to believe all the self-appointed “experts” of the scientific world? I choose Yahuwah.
Symbolism of the Myth of the Fallen Angels
What is the esoteric significance behind the myth of the fallen angels, the expulsion of Lucifer from Heaven and the Fall of Man as represented by the Garden of Eden saga? In the Bible Lucifer is often depicted in the reptilian form of a dragon or serpent and in the West this creature is symbolic of evil and the powers of chaos. Babylonian, Hittite, Canaanite, Iranian, Egyptian, Greek and Norse myths all describe in various forms a struggle between a supreme father-god, representing cosmic order and harmony, and a younger rebellious god who challenges and tries to overthrow divine authority. Although these conflicts usually take place in a pre-human epoch, they are also sometimes depicted as occurring in world history and are often connected with the creation and early development of the human species and the rise of ancient civilisations.
Let me remind everyone that Yahuwah only produced one seed. It was the Seed (Yahushua) who created everything else, including HaSatan (or whatever other name he goes by). Therefore, I believe that it was the Son against whom HaSatan rebelled, and not the Father (directly).He likely believed that since the Son did not yet possess eternal life, He was no better than any of the other angels. He denied the Father’s direction to the angels to bow down and worship the Son. HaSatan was created the most perfect of all the angelic creation and it simply went to his head.
Symbolically, Lucifer or Lumiel is known as the Lord of Light as he is the first-born of creation. He represents the active cosmic energy of the universe and has been identified with fire, light, phallic power, independent thought, consciousness, progress, liberty and independence. The founder of the modern Theosophical Society, Madame Helena Blavatsky, described the Lightbringer as “the spirit of intellectual enlightenment and the freedom of thought” without whose influence humanity would be “no better than animals.”8
The first born of Creation was Yahushua. But then it was Yahushua that created everything else. Therefore, HaSatan may very well be the first born of Yahushua’s creation. That being the case, he might have fancied himself as the heir to the creation. And, he may have been that heir if he did not rebelled against Yahushua.
Perhaps it was HaSatan who was intended to be the sacrifice for sin. Perhaps he did not like the sound of what that sacrifice entailed. When he did, perhaps he decided to go about it his own way.
Humans have only one thing separating them from animals; and that is the spirit of Yahuwah dwelling in them. This is what scientists cannot fathom because it does fulfill the requirements for scientific recognition. Meanwhile, no matter how hard they have tried and how many studies they have done, scientists have not been able to figure out where mankind received his intellect from. There have been no studies on the brain that have yet revealed this marvel. Yet, they would never consider delegating this reality to the Almighty Creator.
All knowledge would have come to man in time – but on Yahuwah’s timetable, not man’s or HaSatan’s. Man was expected to learn knowledge through experience and revelation from Elohim; and was not intended to possess all knowledge until the end days. In this way, man might have used whatever knowledge in a much more righteous fashion. Instead they used it to enhance their ability to wage war and seek after sexual pleasure.
I would be very reluctant to refer to this as “enlightenment”. Rather, true enlightenment comes from following the path that Yahuwah has laid before us. And even then, as we all know from our own spiritual journeys, spiritual enlightenment does not come automatically at the beginning of that journey. It comes with much study and work. Even at the end of our physical lives, we may not possess all knowledge. That may not come until we are born of the spirit into the Kingdom.
In the Bible Lucifer (or Satan as he is mistakenly called) is often depicted in reptilian form as either a dragon or a serpent. In Western mythologies this creature is commonly misrepresented as a symbol of the powers of darkness, chaos and evil. In contrast, in Eastern mythology the dragon is a good omen representing fertility and good fortune. Lumiel-Lucifer is often identified with the serpent in the Edenic myth described in Genesis. In the Luciferian tradition, the biblical serpent is regarded as the personification of knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment who liberated the first humans from the spiritual ignorance imposed on them by Yahweh. The serpent is seen as the symbol of an outside liberating force that quite literally opened the eyes of Adam and Eve to the reality of the created universe and the wonders of the material world.
The snake, serpent or dragon is an ancient mythical and archetypal image of the solar phallic power or life force that is associated with Lucifer and the explosion of light following the divine celestial event that created the universe (known by modern scientists as the Big Bang). When the first man and woman ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the astral or heavenly garden, they became consciously aware. Their first realisation was that their physical ‘cloaks of flesh’ were naked. They rushed to cover their genitals as they had become aware of the so-called ‘serpent power’ or kundalini that can be raised by sexual intercourse and non-reproductive sex acts.They also ate from the Tree of Life which initiated the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth and of human souls incarnating in physical form.
Isa. 14:12 - 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!
13 - For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 - I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
It is not Yahuwah that taught spiritual ignorance to the world, it was HaSatan. Why would Yahuwah do such a thing? It is His goal that all of mankind be born into His eternal family. It is HaSatan’s goal to make sure that Yahuwah’s goal fails. HaSatan hates mankind because in his mind they are vastly inferior to him and cannot stand the thought of one day being judged by man.

Kundalini
According to ancient Hindu religious teachings and yoga science, a latent force in the human organism responsible for sexual activity and (in a sublimated form) higher consciousness. In Hindu mythology kundalini—from the root word kundala meaning coiled—is personified as a goddess, sometimes with the aspect of Durga (a creator) and sometimes Kali (the destroyer) or Bhujangi (the serpent). Kundalini is often described as a serpent that sleeps at the base of the spine and, when aroused, darts upward, bringing enlightenment or pain. According to classical literature, signs of awakened kundalini are grouped into three categories: vocal, physical and mental signs. Kundalini is also believed to be connected with certain psychic powers, known to yogis as siddhis.
Again, this author is drawing on the teachings of pagan religions (which worship HaSatan, not Yahuwah) for his “enlightened” understanding. Naturally, his conclusions would be very suspect. Again, it is man’s way to call good evil and evil good – not Yahuwah’s. Yahuwah cannot lie. It is completely against his nature. The thought to lie would not even enter His mind.
This author maintains that eating from the Tree of Life “initiated the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth”. The problem with this statement is that man never did eat from the Tree of Life. If he had of eaten from the Tree of Life, he would not have had to suffer death at all, because death would not exist. If the author is inferring that Adam afterward ate of the Tree of Life, he is deceiving himself.
Gen. 3:22 - And Yahuwah Elohim said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 - Therefore Yahuwah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 - So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Adam and Eve were driven out of the garden before they had a chance to eat of the Tree of Life. Therefore, it could only have been their eating from the Tree of Knowledge that initiated the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth. Two Cherubims were placed outside the garden to ensure that no man ever ate from it, since all men born after that event were born into sin already and therefore unworthy to eat from the Tree of Life. The enlightenment gained from eating of the Tree of Knowledge only illuminated the path to sin.
As for “human souls incarnating into physical form”, the idea is absolutely preposterous.
Gen. 2:7 - And Yahuwah Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Many interpret the human soul as some spiritual thing that we possess. According to the passage above, humans ARE living souls; it is not something they possess.
Gen. 7:15 - And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
22 - All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
The breath of life was given to all living creatures making them all living souls or living creatures. It is not something we possess, it is what we are – speaking of all living creatures.
Interestingly, the anthropologist and shamanic teacher Dr. Michael Harner has described an experience he had in the jungle of the Peruvian Amazon after partaking of the hallucinogenic vine ayahuasca. He had a vision of a dragon-prowed ship with a crew of bird-headed humans. He then encountered an ancient race of reptilian entities that he believes exist within each human being in the brain stem at the base of the skull and the top of the spinal column. These reptilian life forms told Dr. Harner they had arrived on Earth aeons ago from the stars. Allegedly, they created life here so they had somewhere to hide and were the true masters of the planet. The anthropologist mentioned this to an old Indian shaman and he said he knew about these entities and called them the “Masters of the Outer Darkness.”9
Is the author insinuating that we are to believe the drug induced vision of Harner over the Word of Elohim? Could the reptiles have really been ancient dinosaurs? Can anyone believe that the ancient dinosaurs created all life on earth?
I have never heard such utter nonsense! The term “Masters of Outer Darkness” is not one that I would call flattering. How could “Masters of Outer Darkness” also be called “enlightened ones”. The two terms are diametrically opposite of one another.
The myth of the Watchers, the Fall of Lucifer and the Fall of Man all represent the primeval Dreamtime or ‘Golden Age’ of cosmic and earthy harmony and primal innocence that may have existed on the material plane or on some kind of astral or pre-material plane. It is the symbolic or actual physical destruction of this heavenly or earthly paradise, where humans and animals lived together and communicated by a universal language, which is reflected in such myths and legends. In shamanic terms it is known as the Great Separation when humans no longer knew or understood the language of the animals. It was also a time when humans began to communicate together in different languages and this is represented by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel.
Interesting theory but totally un-provable! Meanwhile, the author delegates the Word of Yahuwah to the myth category. Personally, I think he has his head screwed on backwards.
The following are the conclusions that the author has drawn
The myth of the Golden Age or Paradise on Earth is closely linked with the fall of Lucifer from Heaven and the diminishing of his former status as the first-born of creation to become the Lord of the World. On a symbolic and metaphorical level, as well as a physical one, it is also connected to the separation of humans from nature and their natural environment that is manifesting in our modern times. It was the deliberate intervention of Lucifer and the fallen angels in human evolution, rather than any defiance of cosmic authority, which ultimately lead to their fall from heavenly grace. The Watchers’ only ‘crime’ was that they wanted to help the progress of their human flock. However, the refusal of Lucifer-Iblis to recognise the creation of human beings means that the Fall from heavenly grace was inevitable.
Just as Yahushua was the mirror image of the Father, Lucifer was intended to be the mirror image of Yahushua (the seed; the only begotten Son). Where Yahushua succeeded, Lucifer failed. HaSatan (by whatever name one wishes to call him) became so vain because of his great beauty and wisdom that he actually thought he could replace the One who created him.
Ezek.28:12 - Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus says Yahuwah Elohim; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 - 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 you were created.
14 - Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: you were upon the holy mountain of Elohim; You have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 - You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Being the firstborn of Yahushua’s creation, it was intended (as with Yahushua) that he would inherit something – a position of authority. However, HaSatan was so vain that he did not want to take orders from anyone. And, so he took matters into his own hands and convinced some of the other angels to follow him.
HaSatan was intended to lead the human race into all truth and glory. Instead he led them in the opposite direction. HaSatan may have been stripped of much of his glory, but the fact remains that he was anointed to his post and only his destruction can remove that anointing from him.
Yahushua was forced to assume the role that HaSatan vacated, but as was the case of King Saul and David, even though David qualified himself before hand, he had to patiently await the death of Saul before he could wear the crown. Yahushua qualified Himself by His sacrifice. At first (following that sacrifice) HaSatan may have thought he had scored a great victory by orchestrating Yahushua’s physical demise. How his heart must have sunk when Yahuwah raised Yahushua from the grave.
Yahushua’s victory will not be complete until HaSatan is destroyed. That will follow at the end of Yahushua’s millennial rule of Earth. Until then, HaSatan remains the anointed cherub. If it were up to HaSatan, man would never of had a crack at salvation. However, now that Yahushua has opened that door, even HaSatan cannot close it. So, instead, his plan is to destroy mankind altogether. The only ones he will not be able to (completely) destroy are those of us who have been called out of the world and out from the guidance of HaSatan. As long as we remain steadfastly following Yahushua, we are guaranteed salvation. If the tribulation causes us to fall away or deny Yahushua’s name, our salvation will be lost forever. That is exactly what HaSatan’s goal is; and he will not stop until he is destroyed.
“The Watchers’ only ‘crime’ was that they wanted to help the progress of their human flock.” Really? What an asinine statement. Their crime was that they disobeyed Yahuwah (or Yahushua). They then taught mankind to do likewise. The Laws of Yahuwah were built into the creation. No one can break them with causing some sort of adverse effect. “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”. Sin is defined as lawlessness. As long as lawlessness prevails, so does sin. Therefore, lawlessness will prevail until HaSatan is utterly and forever destroyed.
In the Luciferian tradition Lumiel is promised redemption and the restoration of his former status in the cosmic plan. This can only come to pass when the human race spiritually evolves. So it is to the benefit of Lumiel and his teaching angels to help us achieve that end. The relationship between humanity and the leader of the Fallen Ones is therefore very much a symbiotic one, as they need each other.
I could laugh at the ridiculousness of this author’s final conclusion if it were not so sad. However, barring our own conversion, we would be just as “enlightened” as this individual. The wisdom of man is foolishness to Yahuwah. Therefore, the enlightenment of man is utter foolishness. Satan is never going to be restored to his original status.
Ezek. 28:16 - 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 Elohim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
This passage leaves little room for doubt. HaSatan will be destroyed. He will never repent and he will never obey Yahushua’s voice. Those who obey Lumiel’s voice will share in his destruction.
“The relationship between humanity and the leader of the Fallen Ones is therefore very much a symbiotic one, as they need each other.” This is perhaps the most asinine statement of all. If this is what New Age Religion is all about, I would caution everyone to avoid it like the plague.
The goal of every one of us is to develop the mind of Elohim in us. We can only do that when we rid ourselves of the influences of HaSatan. If anyone thinks they have already done that, I would caution them not to be too optimistic, as we all have one final test to pass – the Tribulation. During that tribulation, we will all be tested beyond all human endurance. It will only be with the spirit of Yahuwah dwelling in us that any will survive.
Think about the way the Yahushua suffered. If he was made to go through such suffering to complete his task, why should we expect any shortcuts? Yahushua can only be reassured of our commitment if we follow perfectly in His footsteps, which includes the way that he suffered. All but John, of all the apostles, was spared such an end – and that was only because Yahushua knew John’s heart and that he would never forsake Him. It may be the same for some of us, but not all.
Therefore, let us all review and examine ourselves before that day comes and pray that Yahuwah reveals any hidden imperfections remaining in us.
Yahuwah Bless
