Now let’s look at God’s response to the evils of the watchers and their children.
9.1 And then Michael, Gabriel, Suriel and Uriel, looked down from Heaven and saw the mass of blood that was being shed on the earth and all the iniquity that was being done on the earth.
9.2 And they said to one another: "Let the devastated Earth cry out with the sound of their cries, up to the Gate of Heaven.
9.3 And now to you, Oh Holy Ones of Heaven, the souls of men complain, saying: "Bring our complaint before the Most High."
9.4 And they said to their Lord, the King: "Lord of Lords, God of Gods, King of Kings! Your glorious throne endures for all the generations of the world, and blessed and praised!
9.5 You have made everything, and power over everything is yours. And everything is uncovered, and open, in front of you, and you see everything, and there is nothing that can be hidden from you.
9.6 See then what Azazel has done; how he has taught all iniquity on the earth and revealed the eternal secrets that are made in Heaven.
9.7 And Semyaza has made known spells, he to whom you gave authority to rule over those who are with him.
9.8 And they went into the daughters of men together, lay with those women, became unclean, and revealed to them these sins.
9.9 And the women bore giants, and thereby the whole Earth has been filled with blood and iniquity.
9.10 And now behold the souls which have died cry out and complain unto the Gate Of Heaven, and their lament has ascended, and they cannot go out in the face of the iniquity which is being committed on the earth.
9.11 And you know everything, before it happens, and you know this, and what concerns each of them. But you say nothing to us. What ought we to do with them, about this?"
10.1 And then the Most High, the Great and Holy One, spoke and sent Arsyalalyur to the son of Lamech, and said to him:
10.2 "Say to him in my name; hide yourself! And reveal to him the end, which is coming, because the whole earth will be destroyed. A deluge is about to come on all the earth; and all that is in it will be destroyed.
10.3 And now teach him so that he may escape and his offspring may survive for the whole Earth."
10.4 And further the Lord said to Raphael: "Bind Azazel by his hands and his feet and throw him into the darkness. And split open the desert, which is in Dudael, and throw him there.
10.5 And throw on him jagged and sharp stones and cover him with darkness. And let him stay there forever. And cover his face so that he may not see the light.
10.6 And so that, on the Great Day of Judgment, he may be hurled into the fire.
10.7 And restore the Earth which the Angels have ruined. And announce the restoration of the Earth. For I shall restore the Earth so that not all the sons of men shall be destroyed because of the knowledge which the Watchers made known and taught to their sons.
10.8 And the whole Earth has been ruined by the teaching of the works of Azazel; and against him write: ALL SIN."
10.9 And the Lord said to Gabriel: "Proceed against the bastards, and the reprobates, and against the sons of the fornicators. And destroy the sons of the fornicators, and the sons of the Watchers, from amongst men. And send them out, and send them against one another, and let them destroy themselves in battle; for they will not have length of days.
10.10 And they will petition you, but the petitioners will gain nothing in respect of them, for they hope for eternal life, and that each of them will live life for five hundred years."
10.11 And the Lord said to Michael: "Go, inform Semyaza, and the others with him, who have associated with the women to corrupt themselves with them in all their uncleanness.
10.12 When all their sons kill each other, and when they see the destruction of their loved ones, bind them for seventy generations, under the hills of the earth, until the day of their judgment and of their consummation, until the judgment, which is for all eternity, is accomplished.
10.13 And in those days, they will lead them to the Abyss of Fire; in torment, and in prison they will be shut up for all eternity.
10.14 And then Semyaza will be burnt, and from then on destroyed with them; together they will be bound until the end of all generations.
10.15 And destroy all the souls of lust, and the sons of the Watchers, for they have wronged men.
10.16 Destroy all wrong from the face of the Earth and every evil work will cease.
Yes, this is a large chunk. But for narrative purposes, it all goes together. The Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Suriel and Uriel saw the evil being done on the Earth by their fellow angels and the offspring of those angels, and they became upset by this and prodded God the Most High to do something against these beings. It is informative the way the angels address God. The obvious deference in their prayer is a model for our reverence. We often take liberties with our prayers. But even the prince who is heir to the throne will greet the king with formal deference when approaching him on the throne. We ought to remember just Who it is that we petition and rudely disrespect.
God doesn’t waste any time in deciding what to do when the angels finally intercede with Him for humanity. He orders one angel to protect Noah, one angel to bind the leader of the fallen watchers and a third to gather the rest and imprison them until the judgment. Then He orders the rest to reassure humanity that the Earth will be restored to peace and life. If you look at the actions of the Most High in this case, you will see His patience and mercy toward even the fallen angels and their abominable offspring who are not in His plan for creation.
The imprisonment of the watchers is not for their punishment, that comes after the judgment, but it is to protect the people of Earth who were supposed to be helped and guarded by them. The extent of the betrayal of humanity by the sins of the watchers is cosmic. Imagine if you will that you hire a babysitter to guard and teach your children while you go away for a short while. When you return, you find that your oldest child has been sexually molested and a child resulted, this child then grew to gigantic size and enslaved his aunts and uncles, and the babysitter was teaching the children to cast spells and kill. Would you be patient with this babysitter and let the offense run its course? God did.
But just like one of us, God did call the supernal police to arrest the perpetrators and then eradicated the evil in His world. God’s forbearance is evident in the means of ending the evil. He does not immediately eradicate all of creation for the taint of the watchers and Nephalim. Instead he imprisons the watchers for the judgment and floods the Earth to remove the evil.
As we go deeper into the book, we shall see some more of the story of this episode in the history of the world. The Book of the Prophet Enoch has much more tho say on this subject. Don’t miss future posts on the Book of Enoch.
Do you follow some of the teachings of the watchers that God has abhorred? Perhaps you dabble in magic or spellcraft. Do you honestly believe this to be harmless? Yes, God will judge you by the intention of your heart. But if your intention is to do good, and you are consorting with these dead Nephalim, there is no way your intention can come to fruition. These beings hate you, God and all of humanity, even all of creation. They want nothing less than the total eradication of God’s plan for the world. You can’t expect to control them with your own will. The human soul is very powerful. Yet these creatures are hybrids of human an angel. They have angelic spirits and human souls. They also have over fifteen thousand years of practice in deceiving humans into doing their bidding. Do you, with less than a hundred years of personal experience, expect to outwit them?
Give it up. There is more power in the love of God than in the collected hatred of all the Nephalim and watchers put together. Turn to Jesus Christ for a real quickening of your spirit, and live for God. There is far more freedom in serving God than in being a slave to Nephalim.
