the Book of Enoch with reverence, although it was never part of the Hebrew or Christian Canons.73 Scholars generally consider it the most significant non-canonized Apocryphal text.74 There are three known versions, usually dated around 300 BCE. It was also part of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered around the Wadi Qumran in 1947. The Book of Enoch was written thousands of years after the Biblical Enoch would have lived, and it can be argued that any text written after Solomon’s Temple was destroyed (586 BCE) must be considered less than authoritative. After that decisive event, prophecy was considered dead. The last High Priest of Solomon’s Temple was considered the last person to understand the “Secret of Knowledge”75 that gave rise to the Biblical prophets.
Early Church fathers, most notably Origen and Clement of Alexandria, held the Book of Enoch in the highest esteem.76 The introduction to Richard Laurence’s translation of the Book of Enoch states that this book is nothing less than “the Ethiopic key to the evolution of Christianity.” Notes to this edition of Enoch also state that the first mention of “Fallen Angels” was taken by early Christian writers from the Book of Enoch. We should note that the Church did its best to hide this text from the public. Possibly because it speaks of 200 “sons of God” who descended to Mount Armon77 as “Fallen Angels” in order to procreate with mortal women.
We have described the “sons of God” as Aryan’s like Enoch and Noah, who understood how to purify the body and liberate the soul in order to “walk with God.” In Abrahamic terms, they understood how to “pronounce” the Word of God, YHVH, in order to achieve liberation. The Nephilim offspring of the sons of God simply refers to a continuation of the spiritual Aryan lineage. The most reputable Jewish sources render the Genesis translation as either “men of renown” or “heros of old.” The Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees appear to be attempts at providing the back story for Genesis 6:1-4. From that perspective, the Book of Enoch’s story line decides to cast the Nephilim as evil “Giants,” and their fathers as “Fallen Angels.” So, in order to clarify, we have to dig a bit deeper. The Hebrew suffix “im” is the plural form of the word Nephilim, while the root of the word NPL (ַלָפנ) literally means “to fall.” There are some who might translate the word as those who “cause others to fall.” We might recall that when the Aryan coneheads first left their caves, legend suggests they were very large and robust, especially with their elongated skulls. It is not surprising, therefore, that people were awestruck when encountering these giants, which may help explain how they “caused others to fall.”
We have already mentioned the translator, Richard Laurence’s belief that the first Christian notion of “fallen angels” was taken from this text. But, it was not the offspring Nephilim who were considered “fallen angels,” it was their fathers. The Book of Enoch usurps the meaning of the root NPL (ַלָפנ) as “to fall” and erroneously applies it to the “sons of God.” Twisting the translation in this manner was intended to cast aspersions on the moral character of the sons of God, who “took wives among the daughters of men.” The Book of Enoch goes a step farther, and borrows a term from the Book of Daniel78 to describe the “sons of God,”the Hebrew word Irin (Watchers), suggesting that the “sons of God” were more than watchers of mankind, they were also lecherous “watchers” of mortal women who gave into temptation and thus became “Fallen Angels,” mating and giving birth to Nephilim “demon” offspring. The Book of Enoch misinterprets both Abrahamic meaning and Aryan history, asking us to believe that the Biblical “sons of God” were avatars, who could in no measure be considered mortal, despite their apparent mortal vulnerability to sin. Here is an example of Enochian exaggeration from 1 Enoch Chap.7:
• Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.
• And the women conceiving brought forth giants,
• Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labour of men provided; until it became impossible to feed them;
• When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;
• And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.
The Book of Enoch characterizes the Nephilim as cannibals, vampires, or demons, while the Watchers are maligned as teachers. 1 Enoch Chapter 8 lists the division of labor that took place:
• Azazyel taught men to make swords, knives, breastplates,…
• Amazarak taught all sorcerers, and dividers of roots;
• Armers taught the solution of sorcery;
• Barkayal taught the observers of the stars;
• Akibeel taught signs;
• Tamiel taught astronomy;
• And Asaradel taught the motion of the moon.
• And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to Heaven.
This description would be consistent with our knowledge of the Aryan “sons of God” with one flagrant exception — the last line — which states that men were “being destroyed” rather than blessed with the knowledge of Heaven. This final line item conflates the mathematics and science taught by the sons of God, with the greatly exaggerated evil erroneously attributed to their Nephilim offspring (sons of the “sons of God”). Unfortunately, certain Torah commentary tries hard to remain consistent with the Book of Enoch, and speaks about the Nephilim as “giants” who were among the evil “sons of Cain.” However, it must be emphasized that the Torah never actually states that the Nephilim were evil. It must be emphasized that the most authoritative translations of the word Nephilim renders: “heros of old” or “men of renown,” translations that are consistent with the Sanskrit term Aryan as “Noblemen.”
Christianity casts a great stigma upon learning the “heavenly secrets” of mathematics and science. This is the same mathematics and science that began civilization in Sumer, Egypt and Harappa. When the Emperor Constantine convened the First Ecumenical Council at Nicea, in 325 AD, ancient science officially became gnostic heresy. The Church appears to have equated knowledge of Heavenly secrets with Adam’s sin of knowing too much. Unfortunately, that perspective turns its back on the Aryan/Nephilim legacy of an integrated science and religion that began civilization and still holds the key to unlocking the secrets of Scripture.
Once the ancient science became heresy, it began a long history of enmity between the scientific community and the Church’s Orthodox religious community. The characterization of Nephilim as cannibals, vampires, and demons in the Book of Enoch, has literally demonized the Aryan founders of civilization, and seriously distorted Christianity’s notions of Hell. As a result, Christian demonology has been grossly exaggerated into a nightmarish fantasy, all beginning with the Book of Enoch’s exaggerations and misinterpretations regarding the Nephilim.
Mainstream Christianity’s notions of Satan as a synonym for the Devil began with the 1st Book of Enoch as the Watcher Satariel, and in the 2nd book of Enoch as Satanael. The Book of Enoch seriously conflicts with Abraham’s writings in the area of demonology, as well as with the intended meaning of the Hebrew Scriptures. Christianity’s concept of evil spirits grew into its exaggerated notions of Hell, based on the Book of Enoch’s misrepresentations of “Sheol.” 79
Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh,
