Texts we avoid during our faith journey, in the process of
exercising spiritual disciplines.
We stump upon passages in the Scripture that are difficult to understand
in our present
1 Co 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels?
Rev 9:14 Release the four angels who are bound at the
great river Euphrates
1 Pt 3:18-20 For Christ also suffered once for sins, for the righteous, for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey
Jude 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgement of the great day

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
(how do we know?)
The book of Enoch
(Ch 6,7,8)
and
the book of Jashar
Joshua 10:13, 2 Sam 1:18
“6:1 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 Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: “I fear you will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone will 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: Samjaza, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. 8 These are their chiefs of tens. CHAPTER 7 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.”
FORBIDEN KNOWLEDGE
DELIVERED
TO MANKIND
These entities (sons of YHWH)
taught humans how to
destroy themselves faster
“1 And Azazel 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,(combination of metals) and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all coloring tinctures.
2 And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.
3 Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, ‘Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.”
ALL FLESH
BECAME CORRUPT

generation)

THIRD REBELLION
GEN 11
AND IT’S CONSEQUENCES
DEUT 32
Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”
(the Edenic mandate…)
Instead: Gen 11:4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”
Translation: Let’s elevate ourselves to YHWH, raise up to Him and negotiate with him as equals. Alternative… we will have to obey his command…
יהוה (YHWH) saw what they intended…
Gen 11:8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
SCATERED
ALL OVER
THE EARTH
DEUT 32
Deu 32:8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Deu 32:9 But YHWH’S portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.
In all Pre and Second Temple literature, Deut 32 is connected contextually with the story of Babel. That was the understanding of Jesus, his disciples and the thinkers of his time.
The allotment that takes place in Gen 11, is actually the
divorce decreed by YHWH against the nations. This allotment is a geographical (that is what the original text supports) and the nations are placed under the ruling of the benei ha Elohim, (sons of God).
The only people that YHWH will have as His people, will be a
nation that He will create, using the son of a idols maker, who
is old and who lives in a idolatrous land… ABRAM
RESTORATION
Bringing back to the initial design
This is the holistic approach of THE KINGDOM OF GOD
IN THE EARTH
The consequences of the 3 R’s, created a chasm between
YHWH – who is Holly – and the human race and it’s
environment:
1.Gen 3 – death enters human race (enthrophy)
- land is cursed ( hard work for living)
- serpent is cursed
2. Gen 6 – humanity is instructed how to accelerate their
own demise and how to insult YHWH
more profoundly
- human genome is corrupted and a forbidden race
is initiated (the Nephilim) – after their death, their
spirits are what the OT and NT calls
unclean spirits, bastard spirits. (DEMONS)
3. GEN 11 – YHWH divorces humans, and creates a nation
for Himself – Israel.
Jesus’s ministry, is TO RESTORE all that was lost through
the 3 R’s, and to bring back the entire creation into the
Initial design that resides in the heart of the Father (YHWH)
