Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil (9 page)

J. H. Kurtz, a nineteenth-century professor of theology, agreed with Delitzsch that the angels of Genesis 6 were not mere incorporeal spirits but possessed bodies.

“We may perhaps not regard it as quite impossible,” he wrote, “that the angels should have not only desired to look into this mystery of human nature, but also to share in it.” More explicitly, Kurtz declares, “We can only conceive a sexual connection between angels and daughters of men if the idea of corporeity attaches to the former.”
[97]

Morgenstern also hints that for the early Jews, the fallen angels were quite physical, noting that the crime of the “sons of God” was one which was characteristic of the
human
level of existence. He shows that God’s punishment of these angels was that they take on the nature and quality of the human women with whom they had associated themselves carnally and that they become
mortal.
Morgenstern says, “No other conclusion is possible.”
[98]
Sentenced to an earthly life, the angels thereafter became as mortal men.

One by one the arguments against the Book of Enoch fade away. The day may soon arrive when the final complaints about the Book of Enoch’s lack of historicity and “late date” are also silenced by new evidence of the book’s real antiquity.

There is also a more metaphysical explanation of how the Book of Enoch may be of late date yet still carry the words of the ancient father Enoch. Tertullian proposed that the book could have been reproduced after the Flood through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
[99]
Likewise did Ezra, according to Jewish legend, reproduce (through God’s dictation) the text of all the scriptures destroyed when the Torah was burned.
[100]
An unknown prophet inspired by the Holy Spirit might also have restored this ancient book of Enoch to a later era that had lost the original.

Not only could the book be authentically the ancient story of the real Enoch, it could also be the answer to the philosophers’ conundrum of the origin of evil in God’s universe. According to Harvard’s Dr. Paul D. Hanson, the myth of the fallen angels “offers an etiology of evil in the world: all of the evil in the world stems from a heavenly event, the rebellion of certain divine beings, and more immediately, from the resulting generation of their pernicious offspring in the world.”
[101]

The Book of Enoch may also explain the apparent differential of stature and power among men—like the control by certain ‘elite’ men over others more ‘common’. We may turn from the ancient history of the Nophelim (Watchers) and the Nephilim to consider those on earth today who have that magnetic personality and greater sense of self-importance to which the ‘little people’ always defer. Imposing and ingratiating men and women are these whose birthright (they believe) it is to rule the lesser endowed. The latter, being thoroughly intimidated and stupefied by the former, easily become the idolaters of these masterminds.

Voilà! Now you’ve got their number (their genetic code): for thousands of years the fallen angels have been propagating themselves and propping themselves up—up, up on the social and success-cult ladder. From the original prototype, they have cloned and carbon-copied an oppressive—and godless—power elite. The Pilates and the Herods, with emperors and high priests, senators and warlords, moneychangers and lawyers—secure in their private clubs and retreats, in firm control, with money and sex as their gods—they will rule the world until the heirs of Enoch take the torch of illumination to challenge and consume their infamy.

That Jesus spoke of two distinct evolutions, one that came from God, the I AM Presence, and one that came from the lower order of fallen ones, is specifically concealed in the Lord’s conversation with Nicodemus: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3)—so the translation usually reads. But the original Greek reads: “Except a man be born
from above,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven,” John 3:13.) The phrase “born from above” is reminiscent of Jesus’ later statement to the Pharisees, “Ye are from beneath; I am from above.” (John 8:23)

But in chapter 8 of the Gospel of John, Jesus is quoted as making an even stronger statement to distinguish these two evolutions. Here he declares that the Pharisees are the seed of the ‘devil’.
[102]

Now, just who was Jesus talking about when he used the term “devil” and “seed of the devil”? The root of the word is “slanderer,” one who defames the name of God and elevates his own, or one who ‘deifies’ evil
(de-evil)
in place of the Light and Person of Christ. In the sense that the original Devil, and devils in general, invert the creation and pervert the name of the Godhead, both Nephilim and Watchers, as the angels who were either cast down or fell of their own volition, would be termed devils.

I believe our Lord was identifying the Pharisees as an evolution entirely apart from the children of God, but one which through intermarriage had eventually embodied in any or all races, retaining the characteristics of the proud and lustful, murderous and slanderous fallen angels from which they descended—or whose souls they in fact were.

Jesus may have even been identifying the Pharisees as the same Nephilim who originally fell or as the reincarnated Watchers—rather than as their descendants. If so, his condemnation might have been spoken to the very ones to whom Enoch had delivered the message of the Lord “Never shall you ascend into heaven! Never shall you obtain peace!” aeons ago in the mists of a forgotten antiquity.

I find no other legitimate means of interpreting the following passage from the Gospel of John than through this grand and forbidden thesis of the Book of Enoch.

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of [angelic] fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it....

He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. (John 8:38–44, 47)

So much for the words of the Son of God who ofttimes has been worshiped as a god instead of followed as the great exemplar of the Christ of our hearts and the revolutionary of Truth who gave his life that the princes of this world might be exposed and the living Word triumph over the death and hell they have created to torment the children of the Elect One.

We cannot follow in his footsteps if we do not understand the prophecy of Daniel concerning the time of trouble and the resurrection of souls—the Great Awakening to true identity to take place in the last days:

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Dan. 12:1–3)

Now it is crystal clear: we know who Jesus Christ was talking about when he gave to his disciples a private interpretation of his parable of the tares of the field:

He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

The field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the Wicked One;

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Matt. 13:37–43)

We recall that Enoch foresaw the final judgment of the Watchers “in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect.” (En. 1:2) If the “distant generation” he envisioned was in fact the twentieth century and beyond, heralded by many as a time of judgment, the legacy of the Book of Enoch may at last find its intended audience—one receptive to the true history of men and angels.

John the Baptist and Jesus Christ embodied to show us the distinction between the children of the Light and the power elite—a statement already made, loud and clear, by the prophets before them. And this, their most important message, has been lost because subsequent theologians covered over the basic elements of the hypothesis. In their attempt to destroy the works of Enoch and Origen, the Church Fathers (consciously or unconsciously, it does not matter) effectively destroyed the work of both Christ and his fiery forerunner.

The World Teacher and his supreme teaching no longer belonged to the people. The Beloved One, their spokesman and advocate before God, and the godless, was now silenced in church as well as in state. And this exposé, fundamental to all others, unmasking the gods and their creation, was lost to the children of Enoch.

Why has the Church refused to acknowledge what Jesus Christ taught outright: that the tares, the sons of the Wicked One, have been genetically sown among the good seed of the sons of God and walk among us as fallen angels incarnate—who maintain the meticulous outer appearance of the sons of God but who are wanting in the inner splendor?

No racism or religious separatism is permitted when dealing with the tares and the wheat. Souls who are the seed of God are embodied in every race and nation—descendants of every tribe and culture, adherents of every religion. Their oppressors, the seed of the father of lies, have followed them within and amongst all peoples as Christian and Jew, Moslem, Buddhist, or Hindu, atheist, agnostic, or pagan.

The Watchers would like us to think they are one of us, for in their anonymity lies their “equal protection” under the mercy of God’s laws. And their children would like us to think that they are also the children of Enoch. But they are not! They are the archdeceivers who murdered, for one, Saint Thomas Becket at the altar of God in Canterbury Cathedral and, for another, Saint Thomas More!

Thus the Lord condemned these ‘children’ of the murderous Watchers: “Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.” Therefore the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world shall be required of this generation of the Watchers!
[103]

The Christed ones of all ages—from the unborn to innocent children to the responsible citizens of the world who dare to challenge the ignoble Watchers—have been slaughtered by the Satans,(En. 40:7) whose progeny yet carry on the tradition of their bloodletting and blood-drinking rite in the civilized as well as primitive cultures of the world. Yes!

They are the murderers of the Messiah who even now is aborning in the hearts of Christians and Jews alike and all who love God in the pure and undefiled religion of the heart. They are the tormentors of children, the purveyors of every temptation, physical and moral, to steal the souls of the lightbearers from the breast of the Divine Mother.

And last but not least, to the present hour the Watchers allied with the Nephilim heap the guilt for their crimes against humanity upon specific races or karmic groups by appearing to be Italian or German, Jew or Japanese, black or white, Russian ... or American, thereby escaping the divine and human justice that is long overdue. First their divide-and-conquer strategy setting brother against brother, then their holocaust: This has been their deadly game played against all children of God from then until now.

How long, O Lord, shall the Watchers triumph?
[104]
How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on the Watchers that dwell on the earth?
[105]
How long, O people of God, wilt thou neglect the holy cause of the Faithful and True!

That the honest seeker for Truth may evaluate the evidence, I am republishing this long-suppressed Book of Enoch. Because I believe it is the key to the life and mission of the prophets of Israel, and of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ two thousand years ago—and today.
