As in the Days of Noah

As in the Days of Noah

By

Gary Primo

Matt. 24:37 - But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

39 - And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

A common saying is that history repeats itself. Being an avid student of history, I have often marvelled at the truism of this statement. Anyone that does not learn the errors of history is bound to repeat them. This why military experts study past battles to ascertain how to not repeat the mistakes of the past. We must do the same thing with our spiritual lives.

How much do we really know concerning life before the flood? The Scriptures only give us a quick overview but falls short on specifics.

Gen. 6:1 - And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 - That the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 - And Yahuwah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 - There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Elohim 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.

5 - And Elohim 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.

6 - And it repented Yahuwah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 - And Yahuwah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air.

So, we have the Sons of Elohim mating with the daughters of men and creating giant offspring, some of which I am sure later became the gods of today’s pagan worship. The people had no moral compass and followed whatever course that brought them the most physical pleasure. This led Yahuwah to devise a plan to wipe out all life on Earth via a global flood, saving only Noah and his three sons. The world today is quickly approaching the same state it was before the flood (except for the giants). The next “cleansing” of the Earth will come by spiritual fire.

Excerpts from the Books of Enoch

CHAPTER VI.

• 1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' 3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then swore they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl. 8. These are their chiefs of tens.

In looking up when the “time of Jared” was, I came across this genealogical timeline. It might be a help in your own personal studies.

https://www.understandchristianity.com/timelines/genesis-genealogical-charts/

According to this chart, Jared was the 6th generation from Adam and therefore, was amongst the 6th generation of mankind. The question that comes to my mind is, why did these rebellious angels suddenly seek to betray Yahuwah? What were they doing before that? Hopefully we will get those answers by the end of this study.

CHAPTER VII.

• 1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

These fallen angels, known also as Watchers, were intended to watch over mankind and help him gain eternity. However, they became enchanted by the beauty of the women and felt a great desire to join with them on Earth and produce children for themselves. They did not know that their genes mixed with human genes would produce such huge and terrifying offspring. Of course, the most obvious question for sceptics is, “What need does an angel have for sexual parts if they were never intended for reproduction?” I can only speculate on the answer. I have no idea how an angel could mate with a human.

I looked up what an ell is, and it is the span of the outstretched hand from the thumb to the baby finger. In my case, that is 8 inches. 1 ell = 8 inches. 3,000 x 8 = 24,000 divided by 12 = 2,000 feet. That is quite a stretch (no pun intended). Just to give you some perspective, clouds form at between 6.5 – 13,000 feet. Using the first number would mean they stood at 1/3 the distance to the clouds. Using the second number, they would have stood at 1/6 the distance to the clouds. Either equals an unbelievable height.

The record for skeletons of giants found thus far is only 36 ft. There are, in fact, two skeletons the same height that were discovered in a common grave and supposed to be husband and wife. This is still a far cry from 2,000 feet.

What Enoch recorded here is that these giants ate up the entire food supply intended for humans and then started eating the humans. Then they turned on and began to eat each other. They also sinned against birds, beasts, reptiles and fish. One can only guess the nature of that sin.

The drinking of blood is a practice that is still practiced today by some cultures. I remember a Yugoslavian uncle of mine who used to drink blood. It is also practiced by modern-day demonic cults.

CHAPTER VIII.

1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl,

taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

What was wrong about teaching men such things? It led them to be “puffed up”, which is the common result of much knowledge. It led them further away from Elohim, thinking they were just as smart as Yahuwah. It led them to commit unforgiveable sins and alienated them from the One True Elohim. They freely chose the fallen angels as the benefactors and gods they worshipped over Yahuwah. They learned the ways of witchcraft and sorcery, of war and murder, of paying more attention to how they looked outwardly while being a repugnant cesspool on the inside and they likely had more knowledge concerning astrology than we have today. Yahuwah never intended for us to have such knowledge – at least, not at that time.

And where are we today? We live in a world that is changing so rapidly, we can barely keep up. Worldly scientists basically believe they can solve all the worlds ills and provide all the answers better than Yahuwah. Given enough time (and knowledge), they believe they can bring us immorality. However, their brand of immortality does not and cannot include changing from mortal bodies to spiritual bodies in the flash of the eye. Comparing themselves to, or elevating themselves above Yahuwah is a sick joke indeed. If they only could realize how small and unimportant they are in Yahuwah’s eyes, they would crawl into a hole somewhere and bury themselves.

CHAPTER IX.

1. And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. 2. And they said one to another: 'The earth made †without inhabitant cries the voice of their crying† up to the gates of heaven. 3 ⌈⌈And now to you, the holy ones of heaven⌉⌉, the souls of men make their suit, saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High.".' 4. And they said to the Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, 〈and God of the ages〉, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! 5. Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. 6. Thou seest what Azâzêl hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn: 7. And Semjâzâ, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates. 8. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. 9. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. 10. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth. 11. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and

Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.'

There was much blood being shed and all lawlessness being wrought on the earth (much as it is today). In other words, no one was paying any attention to the laws of Yahuwah but, instead, made up their own laws. Well, today the world is overwhelmed by various man-made religions, all of which are putting their own laws (customs and traditions) before the Word of Elohim.

And why were men trying to learn these things that were supposed to be preserved in heaven? Why to become Elohim by their own means, of course. Meanwhile, it was/is the Adversary’s goal to make sure we do not become Elohim at all. He wants to see us destroyed, completely and forever. And yet, the Adversary has deceived mostly all of mankind that he is the elohim who created them, not Yahuwah.

Now, we all know that it was Eve, not Adam who was deceived. The serpent tricked Eve into eating the fruit, but Adam knowingly took a bite with his eyes wide open, merely because he did not want to be separated from Eve. Did these fallen angels also see the women as being the more easily deceived? If so, the women in the faith may need to be extra cautious, as they might be the Adversary’s prime target – a way to the man, so to speak..

CHAPTER X.

• 1. Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him: 2. '〈Go to Noah〉 and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. 3. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.' 4. And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azâzêl hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dûdâêl, and cast him therein. 5. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. 6. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. 8. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azâzêl: to him ascribe all sin.' 9. And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. 10. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.' 11. And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. 12. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. 13. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: 〈and〉 to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. 15. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: ⌈and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth⌉ shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.

In this chapter, we are introduced to a select group of angels known as the Watchers. Everything we know of these Watchers from ancient writings suggest that their original purpose was to watch over mankind, not become one of them. It seems they were the most deceived of all. What would a being who already has immortal life want to bring himself down to a physical state, through which he could be destroyed? Surely, Yahuwah foresaw all of this and planned their ultimate destruction before they were even created.

We are, of course, familiar with the name “Azazel”. Modern English Bibles use the term scapegoat, which is what his name actually means. Well, today’s interpretation of the term is somewhat different.

scapegoat

noun

a person or group made to bear the blame for others or to suffer in their place.

Chiefly Biblical. a goat let loose in the wilderness on Yom Kippur after the high priest symbolically laid the sins of the people on its head. Leviticus 16:8,10,26.

This is not at all what the Azazel goat represents. This makes it sound like the scapegoat was innocent and had the blame for the sins of others placed on him unfairly. But the exact opposite is true. It was Azazel who taught man to sin. He is entirely and completely guilty and fully deserves all the blame placed on him.

Today’s generation, as with all generations before them, try to blame Yahuwah for everything. We constantly hear such idiotic questions as “Why did ‘God’ suffer the child to die?” My question for them is, “Why did YOU suffer that child to die?” Death only exists because of man’s sin; no one else's. Therefore, the fault for the death of the child (or anyone else) lies directly at our feet; and we are the only one’s that can rectify the situation.

What is a generation?

generation

noun

the entire body of individuals born and living at about the same time:the postwar generation.

the average span of years between the birth of parents and the birth of their offspring, reckoned in accordance with various disciplines, as in human population studies, which typically cite a generational range as 20–35 years, and in the classification of Generations X, Y, and Z, which loosely frame periods of 15–20 years:

The average span of years between a parent and their offspring was quite different in preflood times than it is today. Most did not bear children until they were in their hundreds. Today that number can vary from 15 into their thirties. So, for argument’s sake, let use Seth for an example. Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born. If that number represents a generation in preflood terms, we end up with 70 x 130 = 9,100 years. (Of course, I am only guessing at what is meant here for a generation.)

The fallen angels yet believed they had eternal life. Their giant offspring believed the same. If they had known beforehand that the result of their actions would leave them with a lifespan of only 500 years, would they have sinned.? Likely, yes! Does having that knowledge deter man from sin? Definitely not!

CHAPTER XII.

1. Before these things Enoch was hidden, and no one of the children of men knew where he was hidden, and where he abode, and what had become of him. 2. And his activities had to do with the Watchers, and his days were with the holy ones.

3. And I, Enoch was blessing the Lord of majesty and the King of the ages, and lo! the Watchers called me--Enoch the scribe--and said to me: 4. 'Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, go, †declare† to the Watchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holy eternal place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives: "Ye have wrought great destruction on the earth: 5. And ye shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin: and inasmuch as †they† delight themselves in †their† children, 6. The murder of †their† beloved ones shall †they† see, and over the destruction of †their† children shall †they† lament, and shall make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not attain."'

Unlike man, angels that sin have no opportunity for redemption. Why is that? That is because they were already spirit beings awaiting their own judgement day and eternal life. They were already immortal (different from eternal), they rebelled against Yahuwah and gave up all hope of becoming eternal. Just like man, angels were intended to live up until the time that they would be changed from immortal to eternal. As of this time, Yahushua is the only one of the creation that has made this transition. The difference being that a very long life span does not equate to eternal life. Eternal life is when one has no need for any outside source for the continuation of our lives but possess the gift of inherent eternal life. In other words, we will become our own source of life, in the same manor as Yahuwah. The angels, too, have a judgement coming. The result of that judgement will be what determines if they progress on to eternal life or eternal destruction. The sentence for both man and angels concerning sin is the same – eternal death.

CHAPTER XIII.

1. And Enoch went and said: 'Azâzêl,

thou shalt have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds: 2. And thou shalt not have toleration nor †request† granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men.' 3. Then I went and spoke to them all together, and they were all afraid, and fear and trembling seized them. 4. And they besought me to draw up a petition for them that they might find forgiveness, and to read their petition in the presence of the Lord of heaven. 5. For from thenceforward they could not speak (with Him) nor lift up their eyes to heaven for shame of their sins for which they had been condemned. 6. Then I wrote out their petition, and the prayer in regard to their spirits and their deeds individually and in regard to their requests that they should have forgiveness and length 〈of days〉†. 7. And I went off and sat down at the waters of Dan, in the land of Dan, to the south of the west of Hermon: I read their petition till I fell asleep. 8. And behold a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw visions of chastisement, ⌈and a voice came bidding (me)⌉ I to tell it to the sons of heaven, and reprimand them. 9. And when I awaked, I came unto them, and they were all sitting gathered together, weeping in ’Abelsjâîl, which is between Lebanon and Sênêsêr, with their faces covered. 10. And I recounted before them all the visions which I had seen in sleep, and I began to speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the heavenly Watchers.

Too little, too late, as the old saying goes. Enoch made known to them the full consequence of their actions. However, I feel they only repented because of their punishment. There was no true repentance involved. Like any worldly criminal, they only felt remorse because they got caught.

CHAPTER XV.

1. And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: 'Fear not, Enoch, thou righteous man and scribe of righteousness: approach hither and hear my voice. 2. And go, say to ⌈⌈the Watchers of heaven⌉⌉, who have sent thee to intercede ⌈⌈for them: "You should intercede"⌉⌉ for men, and not men for you: 3. Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (as your) sons? 4. And

though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those ⌈also⌉ do who die and perish. 5. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth. 6. But you were ⌈formerly⌉ spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. 7. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. 8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; ⌈they shall be evil spirits on earth, and⌉ evil spirits shall they be called. [10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] 11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, ⌈but nevertheless hunger⌉ and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded ⌈from them⌉.

The crux of the situation is spelled out plainly here. These Watchers should have been interceding for man before Elohim rather than have a man (Enoch) intercede for them. They were once holy, spiritual, living the eternal life (or as if they already had eternal life) and they simply gave it all away in open defiance of Yahuwah for a taste of sinful pleasure. And, (likely after knowing their fate) they turned on and began to destroy mankind.

Chapter IXX

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 which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. 2. And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens.' 3. And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen.

Their giant offspring took all different forms. None looked like one another, likely from the unnatural combinations of spiritual and physical genes. They demanded worship from the human inhabitants and became the gods of ancient mythology.

The last highlighted section is for the sake of interpreting the word “sirens”. Here is what I found:

Sirens

In classical mythology, evil creatures who lived on a rocky island, singing in beautiful voices in an effort to lure sailors to shipwreck and death. Odysseus ordered his crew to plug their ears to escape the Sirens' fatal song.

Of course, it is not only women that became sirens. Men, also, are guilty of “luring sailors to shipwreck and death” in regard to creating their own paths to salvation.

CHAPTER XXI.

• 1. And I proceeded to where things were chaotic. 2. And I saw there something horrible: I saw neither a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible. 3. And there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire. 4. Then I said: 'For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in hither?' 5. Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, and was chief over them, and said: 'Enoch, why dost thou ask, and why art thou eager for the truth? 6. These are of the number of the stars ⌈of heaven⌉, which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entailed by their sins, are consummated.' 7. And from thence I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing: a great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire: neither its extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. 8. Then I said: 'How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!' 9. Then Uriel answered me, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: 'Enoch, why hast thou such fear and affright?' And I answered: 'Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the pain.' 10. And he said ⌈⌈unto me⌉⌉: 'This place is the prison of the angels, and here they will be imprisoned for ever.'

Here we have some more numbers thrown at us – seven stars/angels and 10,000 years of imprisonment. I have no idea what these number mean. Following their imprisonment comes their execution by fire. Remember, they gave up immortality to become physical and therefore, are capable of being destroyed. They will be forever dead.

CHAPTER LIV.

1 And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning fire. 2. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley. 3. And there mine eyes saw how they made these their instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight. 4. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: 'For whom are these chains being prepared?'

5. And he said unto me: 'These are being prepared for the hosts of Azâzêl, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded.

6. And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.'

Yes, sinning humans will share the same fate as sinning angels. All unrighteousness will be committed to the grave. Only the righteous will pass through the fire unscathed and ready to enter the kingdom. The “hosts of Azazel” are not only the sinning angels who were his accomplices, but all of mankind who believed and followed after them, worshipping them as gods.

CHAPTER LXV.

1. And in those days Noah saw the earth that it had sunk down and its destruction was nigh. 2. And he arose from thence and went to the ends of the earth, and cried aloud to his grandfather Enoch: and Noah said three times with an embittered voice: Hear me, hear me, hear me.' 3. And I said unto him: 'Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that the earth is in such evil plight and shaken, lest perchance I shall perish with it?' 4. And thereupon there was a great commotion, on the earth, and a voice was heard from heaven, and I fell on my face. 5. And Enoch my grandfather came and stood by me, and said unto me: 'Why hast thou cried unto me with a bitter cry and weeping?

6. And a command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the Satans, and all their powers--the most secret ones--and all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images for the whole earth: 7. And how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal originates in the earth. 8. For lead and tin are not produced from the earth like the first: it is a fountain that produces them, and an angel stands therein, and that angel is pre-eminent.' 9. And after that my grandfather Enoch took hold of me by my hand and raised me up, and said unto me: 'Go, for I have asked the Lord of Spirits as touching this commotion on the earth. 10. And He said unto me: "Because of their unrighteousness their judgement has been determined upon and shall not be withheld by Me for ever. Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and those who dwell upon it shall be destroyed." 11. And these--they have no place of repentance for ever, because they have shown them what was hidden, and they are the damned: but as for thee, my son, the Lord of Spirits knows that thou art pure, and guiltless of this reproach concerning the secrets.

Here it tells us that mankind learned the “secrets of the angels”. An obvious question might be, “Why did these angels possess this knowledge, if it was evil?” and “Who did they learn it from?” This knowledge includes violence, sorcery, witchcraft, and the worshipping of idols made with their own hands. They were symbolically creating their own gods and worshipping them in place of Yahuwah.

CHAPTER LXVII.

2 And behold the names of those angels [and these are their names: the first of them is Samjâzâ, the second Artâqîfâ, and the third Armên, the fourth Kôkabêl, the fifth †Tûrâêl†, the sixth Rûmjâl, the seventh Dânjâl, the eighth †Nêqâêl†, the ninth Barâqêl, the tenth Azâzêl, the eleventh Armârôs, the twelfth Batarjâl, the thirteenth †Busasêjal†, the fourteenth Hanânêl, the fifteenth †Tûrêl†, and the sixteenth Sîmâpêsîêl, the seventeenth Jetrêl, the eighteenth Tûmâêl, the nineteenth Tûrêl, the twentieth †Rumâêl†, the twenty-first †Azâzêl†. 3. And these are the chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones over hundreds and over fifties and over tens].

4. The name of the first Jeqôn: that is, the one who led astray ⌈all⌉ the sons of God, and brought them down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men. 5. And the second was named Asbeêl: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men. 6. And the third was named Gâdreêl: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed ⌈the weapons of death to the sons of men⌉ the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons of death to the children of men. 7. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for evermore. 8. And the fourth was named Pênêmûe: he taught the children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. 9. And he instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to eternity and until this day. 10. For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink. 11. For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power it is consuming me†. 12. And the fifth was named Kâsdejâ: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away, and [the smitings of the soul] the bites of the serpent, and the smitings which befall through the noontide heat, the son of the serpent named Tabââ‘ĕt. 13. And this is the task of Kâsbeêl, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Bîqâ. 14. This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. 15. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akâe in the hand of Michael. 16 And these are the secrets of this oath

Here Enoch names the chiefs of the fallen angels and what it was that they taught mankind. Here he names Gâdreêl as the angel who tempted Eve; therefore, these angels were at work from the very beginning, although they had not yet come down to earth to dwell. He names another angel, Pênêmûe, as the one who taught man to write with pen and paper. What was it that was so sinful about writing? “For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink.” Perhaps we are to confirm our faith by works not the pen. Anyone can talk the good talk, but walking the good walk is much more important. Instead, we were created to “continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them.” And, lastly, it was the angel, Kâsdejâ, who taught man “the smitings of the embryo in the womb.” (abortion by any other name).

FRAGMENT OF THE BOOK OF NOAH

(CVI-CVII.)

CHAPTER CVI.

15. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge and a great destruction for one year. 16. And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth shall die [he and his sons shall be saved]. 18. And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days. 19. And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets.

Here it is revealed that Yahuwah knew that the flood would not bring an end to unrighteousness but would open the door to more unrighteousness. Well we have certainly been witnesses to the truth of this prophesy.

The End-time Generation

The theme throughout the Scriptures all relate to the same thing, that the end-times will be as in the Days of Noah (prior to the flood). Being forewarned is being forearmed. And, of course, we can readily identify a number of similarities between what is going on today and what we know from before the flood. Here is a list of things I can identify:

1 – The worship of demons (by virtually every religious group on earth).

2 – Witchcraft (practiced in ways that are not always so obvious)

3 – Blood-letting (weather by war or local crime).

4 – Idolatry of all manor.

5 – Sexual depravity

6 – Suppression of the word of Yahuwah.

7 – Killing of unborn children.

8 – Firmly on the path to self-annihilation.

These fallen angels are prophesied to return in the end-days; and, indeed, may already be here. Instead of literal giants, we have economic giants, terrorizing the earth (the global elite). And, we do not know yet how bad things are going to get before Yahushua’s return.

In today’s world, abortion is the #1 method of birth control. Hundreds of thousands of fetuses are destroyed every year. All of them were potential sons of Elohim. Witchcraft and demon worship abound everywhere we look. Even present-day churches embrace and endorse such behaviours in their efforts to gain more followers and “look” more modern. Homosexuality has been normalized. Paedophilia will be next. Meanwhile, when the true sons of Elohim criticize such practices, they are the ones who are demonized.

And, of course, idolatry is running rampant wherever we look. New religions (such as Scientology) are popping up everywhere – every one of them are based on the same lie. Muslim and Buddhist temples (complete with giant statues of Buddha) are popping up all over the place where I live. And, mainstream Christians are actually converting in droves to these other pagan religions. Of course, in this case, it is merely a case of one pagan religion converting to another(which is like jumping from one sinking ship to another sinking ship). No matter how one looks at it, man is doing his level best to separate himself as far from Elohim as humanly possible. And he is succeeding quite well.

Knowing all these things in advance gives us a fighting chance, at least. Naturally, we are expected to continue sounding the alarm, no matter what persecutions we bring upon ourselves. The more we support the word of Yahuwah, the more society will turn against us, and seek to silence us. Yet, it is prophesied that there will be a silencing of the word in the Last Days.

Rev. 8:1 - And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

Heaven, or the word of Elohim will be silenced for a spiritual term of half an hour. This could be half a year or longer. I believe this will take place during the last half of the tribulation, when the saints of the Most High will be sealed from the rest of the world. At that time, HaSatan will deceive himself into believing he has secured a great victory against Yahuwah. However, that will be very short-lived!

Conclusion

The fallen angels were rounded up and sealed beneath the earth just before the flood. Yet it is prophesied that they will be released and allowed to deceive mankind once more before the end of the age. Has this even already occurred? Some believe it has. I believe it may have happened about 1600 years ago, or longer. I would say it began when the Antichrist (Emperor Constantine) appeared on the scene and made the RCC the official religion of Rome. Since that time there was definitely a war against the saints of Elohim and there has definitely been a general, worldly movement to silence the true saints.

Of course, we are expecting an end-time Antichrist also. He will be more terrifying than the first. He will trigger the release of all the demons along with the magnitude of the great powers they possess. The end-time generation will be more deceived than any other throughout man’s history. They will be totally awed by the impressive powers the Antichrist (false prophet) will display.

Yes, the last days will be exactly like the days of Noah and perhaps even worse. It will be like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, only on a world-wide scale. There will be no earthly pleasure that man will deny himself of. Man has and will always heed his earthly masters over Elohim. That is simply the nature of man. And, if left unchecked, his atrocities against Yahuwah and his fellows will only grow worse. Give him an inch and he will take a mile.

We may not be around when this day comes in full, but we are witnessing the beginning of that day at this present time. The eagles are gathering for that great and terrible day. The nations are preparing for a 3rd global war at this very time. A one-world government is on the verge of becoming a reality. The global population is about to be greatly reduced and enslaved. We may not see the full brunt of this but our children will. This is the time when the Word of Yahuwah must go forth with all earnestness, so that the world will be without excuse.

Yahuwah always warns us of impending danger. And we know from past religious experiences that deceiving the elect is entirely possible. My own experience with the Worldwide Church of God taught me a great deal about how easily swayed people can become. Even I left off following one man simply to follow another. And that man became my greatest disappointment. However, that experience also led me to follow Yahuwah alone. Sometimes we need to experience the bad to discover the good.

In the meantime, we need to keep our noses to the grind stone and endeavor with all our might to become the sons that Yahuwah can be proud of. Whenever the end comes, matters little. The end for us comes at the end of our natural lives and we had better get as much as possible right before then.

Yahuwah Bless
