There are two views when it comes to this topic of the “sons of ELOHIM” written in Genesis 6. One group believes that the sons of ELOHIM are the fallen malachim pronounced ma-la-keem (angels) and the other group says that the former view is impossible and that the sons of ELOHIM are the descendants of Seth (Sethites). We will examine this debated topic and let the word of YAHWEH speak as always and will prove that the sons of ELOHIM are angels and did mate with human women.
Firstly, we know that out the mouth of two or three witnesses that every word shall be established:
2 Corinthians 13:1
“This is the third time that I have prepared to come to you; that, by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established.”
John 8:12-14
“Now YESHUA spoke with them again and said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but he will find the light of life for himself.” The Pharisees said to him, “You do testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not true!” Even if I do testify concerning Myself, my testimony is true because I know from where I have come and to where I go. But you do know from where I have come, nor to where I go. You judge carnally; I do not judge anyone. Yet if I do judge now, my judgment is true because it is not I alone, rather I and My Father who sent Me. And in your own Torah now it is written that the witness of two men is true. It is I that testify concerning Myself, yet My Father who sent Me testifies concerning Me.”
There are plenty of witnesses that will be presented from the 66-book canon, Enoch, Jubilees, 12 Patriarchs, and Genesis Apocryphon to confirm the topic at hand, and I will explain where these books were found and why we should be reading them to get a better understanding of the scriptures and not guessing or drawing our own conclusions.
Genesis 6:1-4
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them, that the sons of ELOHIM saw that the daughters of men were fair; so they took them wives of all whom they chose. Then YAHWEH said, My spirit shall not dwell in man forever, because he is flesh; let his days be a hundred and twenty years. There were giants on the earth in those days; and also after that, for the sons of ELOHIM came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, and they became GIANTS who in the olden days were mighty men of renown.”
Years ago, before I found these ancient witnesses supporting the view of fallen angels going into the daughters of men, a few things jumped out to me that made me know it was true. Notice the wording of the verse as it reads “the sons of ELOHIM came in unto the daughters of men” there is a separation showing the sons of ELOHIM are not human because the passage makes it clear these spiritual beings joined with human daughters of men. The daughters of men is the key to show that one was of human origin and the other was not; furthermore, since when did two humans ever produce a giant? That is another clue to show the corruption of the DNA with a spiritual being mating with a human woman and I, personally believe this was Satan’s attempt to corrupt the human DNA because he knew that YESHUA would be born as ELOHIM and Man, so he tried to form his own race of a hybrid species to prevent his destruction from happening and we all know that he failed. The book of Job gives us more context about the sons of ELOHIM.
Job 1:6
“Now there was a day when the sons of ELOHIM came to present themselves before YAHWEH, and Satan also among them.”
Job 2:1
“Again there was a day when the sons of ELOHIM came to present themselves before YAHWEH, and Satan came also among them to present himself before YAHWEH.”
This passage clearly shows this is a spiritual meeting that no human being could have access to. Satan and the sons of ELOHIM (angels) PRESENTED themselves before YAHWEH, which means they came before His throne which is in heaven. This again, rules out the human sons of Seth. I personally believe these witnesses would be enough to make a case, but I know it is not sufficient enough for most, so we will go deeper by looking at the Book of Enoch and the other Dead Sea Scrolls.
There are many who reject the Book of Enoch as being inspired, but I have a question to ask. Did you know that the Book of Jubilees and Enoch were discovered amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls in Cave #2 right along with the first five books of the Bible (The Torah), Jeremiah, and Psalms? If you accept the Old Testament to be true and inspired, which included the Torah, Psalms, and Jeremiah, then how do you reject the other books found right alongside it? It’s not our job to reject books because it goes against your thoughts or traditions you hold fast to; however, it is our job is to find the truth by all means and test it.
Yes, Enoch has an actual book:
Jubilees 4:16-17
“And in the eleventh jubilee Jared took to himself a wife, and her name was Baraka, the daughter of Rasui’el, a daughter of his dad’s brother, in the fourth week of this jubilee, and she bore him a son in the fifth week, in the fourth year of the jubilee, and he called his name Enoch. This one was the first among men that are born on earth who learned WRITING and knowledge and wisdom, and who wrote down the signs of heaven according to the order of their months in A BOOK…”
And we see that Abraham and Levi both mentioned this book of Enoch:
Genesis Apocryphon column 19:25 (When Pharaoh was going to take Sarah as wife)
“Me many gifts and asked of me knowledge, wisdom, and truth. So, I read before them the book of the words of ENOCH.”
Jubilees 21:10
“And eat its meat on that day and on the second day, and do not let the sun go down on the second day until it is eaten, and let nothing be left over for the third day; for it is not approved, and it will not be accepted; and let it no longer be eaten, and all who eat of it will bring sin upon themselves. For thus I (Abraham) have found it WRITTEN in the BOOKS of my forefathers, and in the words of ENOCH, and in the words of Noah.”
Testament of Levi 10:5 (12 Patriarchs)
“For the house which YAHWEH chooses will be called Jerusalem, as is contained in the Book of ENOCH the righteous.”
YESHUA quoted from it:
Mathew 22:30
“For in the resurrection of the dead, men do not marry women, nor are women given to husbands. Rather, they are as the messengers of ELOHIM in heaven.”
Enoch 15:5-8
“Therefore have I given them (human men) wives also that they might impregnate them, and bring forth children by them, that thus none might be lacking to them on the earth. But you (angels) were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have NOT appointed wives for you; for as the spiritual ones of the heavens, in the heavens is THEIR DWELLING.”
YESHUA says that angels don’t have wives and the book of Enoch tells us that YAHWEH did not appoint wives for them as he did for earthly men.
More witnesses
So now armed with this truth let us examine these other witnesses contained within these removed books and the Dead Sea Scrolls concerning the angels mating with the daughters of men.
2 Baruch 56:11-14
“Also, for at that time when he was created, they had freedom. And some of them (angels) descended and INTERMINGLED WITH THE WOMEN. Then those who did so were tormented in chains. But the rest of the multitude of the angels, of whom there is no number, restrained themselves.”
Jubilees 4:22
“And he (Enoch) witnessed to the Watchers, who had SINNED WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN. For these had begun to UNITE THEMSELVES, so as to be defiled, with the daughters of men, and Enoch witnessed to them all.”
So again, the Watchers/fallen angels/sons of ELOHIM/sons of heaven are the spiritual beings that laid with the daughters of men, so we have more context again for Genesis 6 showing that it was not the sons of Seth.
Testament of Rueben 5:5-8 (12 Patriarchs)
“Therefore my children, flee from whoring, and command your wives and your daughters that they adorn NOT their heads and faces to deceive the mind of men, because every woman who plots such has been reserved for eternal punishment.
Rueben says that women should not adorn their heads (to enhance beauty with ornaments with something unessential) and faces (reference to make up/cosmetics) to deceives the minds of men and also they did this and made the angels lust after them, this is another witness to what Peter and Paul said.
1 Peter 3:3
“Your ADORNMENT should not be outward-arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on dresses but the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and peaceable spirit, which is of great value before ELOHIM.”
1 Timothy 2:9
“Likewise, that the women dress themselves becomingly, with decency and sensibleness, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments…”
1 Corinthians 11:10
“For this cause ought the woman to have on her head the mark of authority (head covering), BECAUSE OF THE MESSENGERS.”
And for women not to adorn their faces is a reference to what the fallen angels taught mankind:
Enoch 8:1
“And Asa’el taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and showed their successors the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ORNAMENTS, AND THE USE OF COSMETICS, AND THE BEAUTIFYING OF THE EYELIDS, and all the costly stones, and all coloring tinctures and alchemy.”
Testament of Rueben continued: For in this way they enticed the Watchers (Messengers/angels) who were before the flood. For as these continually looked upon them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for THEY CHANGED THEMSELVES INTO THE SHAPE OF MEN, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women, lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even to the heavens.” The angels being able to change forms in consistent with the Book of Enoch which states:
Enoch 19:1
“And Uriel said to me, “Here shall stand the messengers (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 mighty ones…”
The fact of the angels being able to change their forms into humans in not a foreign idea in scripture as we see the two angels that went to Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 appeared to Lot as humans. But Enoch gives us other witnesses concerning them changing their form and mating with women:
Enoch 86:1-6
“And again I saw with my eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell from heaven” (reference to Satan falling)
Luke 10:18
“And He (YESHUA) said to them, “I did see Satan falling like lightning from heaven.”
Enoch 86 continued “And it arose and ate and pastured among the oxen. And after that I saw the large and the black oxen, and behold they all changed their stalls and pastured and their cattle, and began to live with each other. And again I saw in the vision, and looked towards the heaven, and behold I saw MANY STARS descend and cast themselves down from the heaven to the first star…”
The many stars is a reference to the falling angels leaving their first domain as Jude and Peter wrote about it and this also matches Enoch 6:5 which says:
Enoch 6:5
“Then they all (the angels) swore together and bound themselves by a curse upon it (Mount Hermon). And they were, in all, TWO HUNDRED WHO DESCENED IN THE DAYS OF JARED ON MOUNT HERMON…”
Enoch 86 continued “And they BECAME BULLS (HUMANS) among those cattle and pastured with them among them.”
So, the fallen stars (angels) became bulls (humans), which means that the angels changed their form as we read from the Testament or Rueben 5:6-8
For as these continually looked upon them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for THEY CHANGED THEMSELVES INTO THE SHAPE OF MEN, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women, lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even to the heavens.”
Enoch 86 continued “And I looked at them and saw, and behold they all let out THEIR PRIVY MEMBERS (sharing something secret or private), like horses and began to mount upon the cows of the oxen, and they all became pregnant and bore elephants (The Giants), camels, and donkeys. And all the oxen feared them and were afraid of them, and began to bite with their teeth and to devour, and to gore with their horns. And they began, moreover, to devour those oxen; and behold all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them.”
The giants began to turn on the humans just as it is written in:
Enoch 15:11
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.”
Enoch 6:1-3 matches Genesis 6
“And it came to be, when the children of men had multiplied, that in those days were born unto them good looking and lovely daughters. And the messengers (angels), the children of the heavens, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: “Come let us choose wives from among the children of men and bring forth children. And Shemyatsa, who was their leader, said to them, “I fear you will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of A GREAT SIN.”
Enoch gives us some more details here, because instead of calling them the sons of ELOHIM, he calls them the children of the heavens, which immediately shows us that they were not humans and could not be the sons of Seth.
Enoch 13:8 (The fallen angels asked Enoch to petition for them for their sins)
“And see, a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw visions of rebuke, and a voice came bidding, to tell it to the SONS OF THE HEAVENS, and reprimand them.”
So, we see the fallen angels (sons of ELOHIM/Watchers/fallen angels) left there dwelling in heaven and took wives then mated with human women and defiled themselves. The leader of those fallen angels says plainly that he knew it was a GREAT SIN and Jude and Peter agree with this. Jude and Peter knew what SIN they committed, because there is no mention of the angels sinning in the Bible OUTSIDE of Genesis 6, so Enoch 6 and Genesis 6 agree what that sin was!
Jude 1:6
“And the messengers (angels) who did not keep their own principality (domain), but LEFT THEIR OWN DWELLING (heaven), He has kept in everlasting shackles under the darkness for the judgment of the great day.”
Jude says that the messengers (angels) left their own dwelling/abode/home and are kept in chains in darkness. What did the angels do when they left the heavens? And how did Jude know that what they did was a sin?
Enoch 12:4-5
“Enoch, you scribe of righteousness go, declare, to the watchers (angels) of the heavens, WHO HAVE LEFT THE HIGH HEAVENS, THE ETERNAL PLACE, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives, ‘You have wrought great destruction on the earth. And you shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin…”
Notice again that Jude 1:6 says that they are held in chains in darkness until the great Day of Judgement? Where did he get this from?
Enoch 10:4-6
“And again YAHWEH said to Repha’el, “Bind Azaz’el hand and foot, and cast him into the DARKNESS: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Duda’el (Egypt), and cast him in there. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with DARKNESS, and let him abide there forever, and cover his face that he may NOT SEE LIGHT. AND ON THE GREAT DAY OF JUDGMENT he shall be cast into the fire.”
2 Peter 2:4
“For if YAHWEH did not spare the angels who SINNED, but sent them to Gey-Hinnom, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment.”
2 Baruch 56:11-14
“Also, for at that time when he was created, they had freedom. And some of them (angels) descended and INTERMINGLED WITH THE WOMEN. Then those who did so were tormented in chains. But the rest of the multitude of the angels, of whom there is no number, restrained themselves.”
Peter says that the angels sinned, and we see that Genesis 6, Jubilees 4, Enoch, 2 Baruch and Jude agree that they defiled themselves with human women which ties into what Jubilees 4:22 that Enoch witnessed to the Watchers, who had SINNED with the daughters of men. We know that the angels are not recorded to having sinned other than what Genesis 6 says. But Enoch chapter 6 and the other witnesses presented tells us exactly what the sin was.
Enoch 15:1-11
“And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice, “Fear not, Enoch, you righteous man and scribe of righteousness, approach there and hear My voice. “And go, say to the watchers (sons of ELOHIM, angels) of the heavens who have sent you to intercede for them, ‘You should intercede for men, and not men for you. Why have you left the high, holy, and eternal heavens (Jude 1:6 and 2 Baruch 56:12 “Left their own dwelling”), 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 (Genesis 6:1-4) as sons? And though you were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have brought forth 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. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and bring forth children by them, that thus none might be lacking to them on the earth. But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have NOT appointed wives for you; for as the spiritual ones of the heavens, in the heavens is THEIR DWELLING. And now, the giants who are produced FROM THE SPIRITS upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 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 the earth, and evil spirits they shall be called. As for the spirits of the heavens, in the heavens 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. 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.”
Genesis Apocryphon was found in Cave #1 in 1947 right along with the scroll of Isaiah, the same Isaiah that we read in the Old Testament. Genesis Apocryphon is a very fragmented document because it was badly damaged; however, it contains the same truth as outlined with the many witnesses above. Wherever you see (missing section) means that part of the scroll was missing or unreadable.
Genesis Apocryphon Column 2 matches Enoch 106 (birth of Noah)
“So then I thought to myself (Lamech) that the conception (Noah) was from Watchers or that the seed was from Holy Ones, or belonged to Nephilim; and my mind wavered because of this child.”
So, we see that Lamech clearly knew it was possible for the angels to mate with human women because he thought that Noah was brought forth by one of the angels, so he did not think that Noah was his child, and this evidenced by the conversation with his wife.
Genesis Apocryphon 2 continued “Then I, Lamech, became frightened, and I went to Bitenosh, my wife and said to her,..(missing section) “by the Most High, by the Majestic YAHWEH, by the King of all Ages, with one of the sons of heaven, that you truthfully make everything known to me, wither..(missing section) “You must tell me truthfully and without lies whether this…(missing section) “Swear by the Most High, the Majestic YAHWEH, by the King of all Ages that you are speaking to me truthfully and without lies.” Then Bitenosh, my wife, spoke to me with great vehemence (passion), she cried and said, “O my brother and my master, recall my pleasure (missing section) “in the heat of time, and my breath in the midst of its sheath. For I shall tell you everything truthfully (missing section) the birth.” And then my mind was changed within me (missing section). When Bitenosh, my wife, noticed that my expression had changed (missing section) then she suppressed her emotion, speaking to me and saying to me, “O my master and my brother, recall (missing section) my pleasure. I swear to you by the Great Holy One, by the King of Heaven that this seed is from you; from you is this conception, and from you the planting of this fruit (missing section) and not from any stranger, OR FROM ANY OF THE WATCHERS, OR FROM ANY OF THE SONS OF HEAVEN…”
Enoch 106:1-6
“And after some time I, Enoch, took a wife for my son Methuselah, and she brought forth a son and called his name Lamech, saying, righteousness has indeed been brought low today.’ And when he grew my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a boy. And when he was born, his body was as white as snow, and as red as a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his demdema (long and curly hair that has been combed up straight) was beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lit up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. And he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and spoke to the Master with righteousness. And his dad Lamech was afraid of him and fled, and came to his dad Methuselah. And he said to him, “A strange son has been born to me, different than—and unlike—man, and resembling the SONS OF MESSENGERS OF HEAVEN; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his face is esteemed. And it seems to me that HE IS NOT SPRUNG FROM ME BUT FROM THE MESSENGERS.”
Genesis Apocryphon 5:12
“He (Noah) lifted his face to me (Lamech), and his eyes shone like the sun.” This matches the above scripture from Enoch 106.
Again, Lamech understood that the fallen angels could mate with human women, which is why he believed that they angels brought Noah forth and not him. Enoch goes on to tell Methuselah to let Lamech know that Noah is his real son and not the angels.
Genesis Apocryphon column 5:3-4
“Look, when I Enoch (missing section) and NOT FROM THE SONS OF HEAVEN, but rather from Lamech, your son…”
Enoch 106:18
“And now make known to your 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.”
Genesis Apocryphon 6:11, 19-20
“(Missing section) the heavens. In a vision I saw and was shown and informed about the CONDUCT OF THE SONS OF HEAVEN and what all (missing section) verses 19-20 “the blood which the Nephilim shed. I was calm and I waited until (missing section) HOLY ONES WHO WERE WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN.”
So why is it that our ancestors believed this truth, but followers of YESHUA today reject this truth? Many witnesses have been presented in the message and hopefully some eyes will be opened to understand that the spiritual realm is more real than we are, that the sons of ELOHIM are angels and not the sons of Seth, and also to encourage you to look beyond the 66-Book canon because it is not all of YAHWEH’s word.
As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
There are two views when it comes to this topic of the “sons of ELOHIM” written in Genesis 6. One group believes that the sons of ELOHIM are the fallen malachim (angels) and the other group says that the former view is impossible and that the sons of ELOHIM are the descendants of Seth (Sethites). We will examine this debated topic and let the word of YAHWEH speak as always and will prove that the sons of ELOHIM are angels and did mate with human women.

“Now YESHUA spoke with them again and said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but he will find the light of life for himself.” The Pharisees said to him, “You do testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not true!” Even if I do testify concerning Myself, my testimony is true because I know from where I have come and to where I go. But you do know from where I have come, nor to where I go. You judge carnally; I do not judge anyone.

It is I that testify concerning Myself, yet My Father who sent Me testifies concerning Me.”
There are plenty of witnesses that will be presented from the 66-book canon, Enoch, Jubilees, 12 Patriarchs, and Genesis Apocryphon to confirm the topic at hand, and I will explain where these books were found and why we should be reading them to get a better understanding of the scriptures and not guessing or drawing our own conclusions.
Genesis 6:1-4
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them, that the sons of ELOHIM saw that the daughters of men were fair; so they took them wives of all whom they chose. Then YAHWEH said, My spirit shall not dwell in man forever, because he is flesh; let his days be a hundred and twenty years. There were giants on the earth in those days; and also after that, for the sons of ELOHIM came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, and they became GIANTS who in the olden days were mighty men of renown.”
Years ago, before I found these ancient witnesses supporting the view of fallen angels going into the daughters of men, a few things jumped out to me that made me know it was true.

For thus I (Abraham) have found it WRITTEN in the BOOKS of my forefathers, and in the words of ENOCH, and in the words of Noah.”
Testament of Levi 10:5
“For the house which YAHWEH chooses will be called Jerusalem, as is contained in the Book of ENOCH the righteous.”

YESHUA says that angels don’t have wives and the book of Enoch tells us that YAHWEH did not appoint wives for them as he did for earthly men.

“Your ADORNMENT should not be outward-arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on dresses but the hidden man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and peaceable spirit, which is of great value before ELOHIM.”
1 Timothy 2:9
“Likewise, that the women dress themselves becomingly, with decency and sensibleness, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments…”
1 Corinthians 11:10
“For this cause ought the woman to have on her head the mark of authority (head covering), BECAUSE OF THE MESSENGERS.”
And for women not to adorn their faces is a reference to what the fallen angels taught mankind:
Enoch 8:1
“And Asa’el taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and showed their successors the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ORNAMENTS, AND THE USE OF COSMETICS, AND THE BEAUTIFYING OF THE EYELIDS, and all the costly stones, and all coloring tinctures and alchemy.”
Testament of Rueben continued: For in this way they enticed the Watchers (Messengers/angels) who were before the flood. For as these continually looked upon them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for THEY CHANGED THEMSELVES INTO THE SHAPE OF MEN, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women, lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even to the heavens.” The angels being able to change forms in consistent with the Book of Enoch which states:
Enoch 19:1
“And Uriel said to me, “Here shall stand the messengers (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 mighty ones…”
The fact of the angels being able to change their forms into humans in not a foreign idea in scripture as we see the two angels that went to Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 appeared to Lot as humans. But Enoch gives us other witnesses concerning them changing their form and mating with women:
Enoch 86:1-6
“And again I saw with my eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell from heaven” (reference to Satan falling)
Luke 10:18
“And He (YESHUA) said to them, “I did see Satan falling like lightning from heaven.”
Enoch 86 continued “And it arose and ate and pastured among the oxen. And after that I saw the large and the black oxen, and behold they all changed their stalls and pastured and their cattle, and began to live with each other. And again I saw in the vision, and looked towards the heaven, and behold I saw MANY STARS descend and cast themselves down from the heaven to the first star…”
The many stars is a reference to the falling angels leaving their first domain as Jude and Peter wrote about it and this also matches Enoch 6:5 which says:
Enoch 6:5
“Then they all (the angels) swore together and bound themselves by a curse upon it (Mount Hermon). And they were, in all, TWO HUNDRED WHO DESCENED IN THE DAYS OF JARED ON MOUNT HERMON…”
Enoch 86 continued “And they BECAME BULLS (HUMANS) among those cattle and pastured with them among them.”
So, the fallen stars (angels) became bulls (humans), which means that the angels changed their form as we read from the Testament or Rueben 5:6-8
For as these continually looked upon them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for THEY CHANGED THEMSELVES INTO THE SHAPE OF MEN, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women, lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even to the heavens.”
Enoch 86 continued “And I looked at them and saw, and behold they all let out THEIR PRIVY MEMBERS (sharing something secret or private), like horses and began to mount upon the cows of the oxen, and they all became pregnant and bore elephants (The Giants), camels, and donkeys. And all the oxen feared them and were afraid of them, and began to bite with their teeth and to devour, and to gore with their horns. And they began, moreover, to devour those oxen; and behold all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them.”
The giants began to turn on the humans just as it is written in:
Enoch 15:11
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.”
Enoch 6:1-3 matches Genesis 6
“And it came to be, when the children of men had multiplied, that in those days were born unto them good looking and lovely daughters. And the messengers (angels), the children of the heavens, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: “Come let us choose wives from among the children of men and bring forth children. And Shemyatsa, who was their leader, said to them, “I fear you will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of A GREAT SIN.”
Enoch gives us some more details here, because instead of calling them the sons of ELOHIM, he calls them the children of the heavens, which immediately shows us that they were not humans and could not be the sons of Seth.
Enoch 13:8 (The fallen angels asked Enoch to petition for them for their sins)
“And see, a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw visions of rebuke, and a voice came bidding, to tell it to the SONS OF THE HEAVENS, and reprimand them.”
So, we see the fallen angels (sons of ELOHIM/Watchers/fallen angels) left there dwelling in heaven and took wives then mated with human women and defiled themselves. The leader of those fallen angels says plainly that he knew it was a GREAT SIN and Jude and Peter agree with this. Jude and Peter knew what SIN they committed, because there is no mention of the angels sinning in the Bible OUTSIDE of Genesis 6, so Enoch 6 and Genesis 6 agree what that sin was!
Jude 1:6
“And the messengers (angels) who did not keep their own principality (domain), but LEFT THEIR OWN DWELLING (heaven), He has kept in everlasting shackles under the darkness for the judgment of the great day.”
Jude says that the messengers (angels) left their own dwelling/abode/home and are kept in chains in darkness. What did the angels do when they left the heavens? And how did Jude know that what they did was a sin?
Enoch 12:4-5
“Enoch, you scribe of righteousness go, declare, to the watchers (angels) of the heavens, WHO HAVE LEFT THE HIGH HEAVENS, THE ETERNAL PLACE, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives, ‘You have wrought great destruction on the earth. And you shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin…”
Notice again that Jude 1:6 says that they are held in chains in darkness until the great Day of Judgement? Where did he get this from?
Enoch 10:4-6
“And again YAHWEH said to Repha’el, “Bind Azaz’el hand and foot, and cast him into the DARKNESS: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Duda’el (Egypt), and cast him in there. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with DARKNESS, and let him abide there forever, and cover his face that he may NOT SEE LIGHT. AND ON THE GREAT DAY OF JUDGMENT he shall be cast into the fire.”
2 Peter 2:4
“For if YAHWEH did not spare the angels who SINNED, but sent them to Gey-Hinnom, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment.”
2 Baruch 56:11-14
“Also, for at that time when he was created, they had freedom. And some of them (angels) descended and INTERMINGLED WITH THE WOMEN. Then those who did so were tormented in chains. But the rest of the multitude of the angels, of whom there is no number, restrained themselves.”
Peter says that the angels sinned, and we see that Genesis 6, Jubilees 4, Enoch, 2 Baruch and Jude agree that they defiled themselves with human women which ties into what Jubilees 4:22 that Enoch witnessed to the Watchers, who had SINNED with the daughters of men. We know that the angels are not recorded to having sinned other than what Genesis 6 says. But Enoch chapter 6 and the other witnesses presented tells us exactly what the sin was.
Enoch 15:1-11
“And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice, “Fear not, Enoch, you righteous man and scribe of righteousness, approach there and hear My voice. “And go, say to the watchers (sons of ELOHIM, angels) of the heavens who have sent you to intercede for them, ‘You should intercede for men, and not men for you. Why have you left the high, holy, and eternal heavens (Jude 1:6 and 2 Baruch 56:12 “Left their own dwelling”), 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 (Genesis 6:1-4) as sons? And though you were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have brought forth 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. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and bring forth children by them, that thus none might be lacking to them on the earth. But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have NOT appointed wives for you; for as the spiritual ones of the heavens, in the heavens is THEIR DWELLING. And now, the giants who are produced FROM THE SPIRITS upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 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 the earth, and evil spirits they shall be called. As for the spirits of the heavens, in the heavens 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. 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.”
Genesis Apocryphon was found in Cave #1 in 1947 right along with the scroll of Isaiah, the same Isaiah that we read in the Old Testament. Genesis Apocryphon is a very fragmented document because it was badly damaged; however, it contains the same truth as outlined with the many witnesses above. Wherever you see (missing section) means that part of the scroll was missing or unreadable.
Genesis Apocryphon Column 2 matches Enoch 106 (birth of Noah)
“So then I thought to myself (Lamech) that the conception (Noah) was from Watchers or that the seed was from Holy Ones, or belonged to Nephilim; and my mind wavered because of this child.”
So, we see that Lamech clearly knew it was possible for the angels to mate with human women because he thought that Noah was brought forth by one of the angels, so he did not think that Noah was his child, and this evidenced by the conversation with his wife.
Genesis Apocryphon 2 continued “Then I, Lamech, became frightened, and I went to Bitenosh, my wife and said to her,..(missing section) “by the Most High, by the Majestic YAHWEH, by the King of all Ages, with one of the sons of heaven, that you truthfully make everything known to me, wither..(missing section) “You must tell me truthfully and without lies whether this…(missing section) “Swear by the Most High, the Majestic YAHWEH, by the King of all Ages that you are speaking to me truthfully and without lies.” Then Bitenosh, my wife, spoke to me with great vehemence (passion), she cried and said, “O my brother and my master, recall my pleasure (missing section) “in the heat of time, and my breath in the midst of its sheath. For I shall tell you everything truthfully (missing section) the birth.” And then my mind was changed within me (missing section). When Bitenosh, my wife, noticed that my expression had changed (missing section) then she suppressed her emotion, speaking to me and saying to me, “O my master and my brother, recall (missing section) my pleasure. I swear to you by the Great Holy One, by the King of Heaven that this seed is from you; from you is this conception, and from you the planting of this fruit (missing section) and not from any stranger, OR FROM ANY OF THE WATCHERS, OR FROM ANY OF THE SONS OF HEAVEN…”
Enoch 106:1-6
“And after some time I, Enoch, took a wife for my son Methuselah, and she brought forth a son and called his name Lamech, saying, righteousness has indeed been brought low today.’ And when he grew my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a boy. And when he was born, his body was as white as snow, and as red as a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his demdema (long and curly hair that has been combed up straight) was beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lit up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. And he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and spoke to the Master with righteousness. And his dad Lamech was afraid of him and fled, and came to his dad Methuselah. And he said to him, “A strange son has been born to me, different than—and unlike—man, and resembling the SONS OF MESSENGERS OF HEAVEN; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his face is esteemed. And it seems to me that HE IS NOT SPRUNG FROM ME BUT FROM THE MESSENGERS.”
Genesis Apocryphon 5:12
“He (Noah) lifted his face to me (Lamech), and his eyes shone like the sun.” This matches the above scripture from Enoch 106.
Again, Lamech understood that the fallen angels could mate with human women, which is why he believed that they angels brought Noah forth and not him. Enoch goes on to tell Methuselah to let Lamech know that Noah is his real son and not the angels.
Genesis Apocryphon column 5:3-4
“Look, when I Enoch (missing section) and NOT FROM THE SONS OF HEAVEN, but rather from Lamech, your son…”
Enoch 106:18
“And now make known to your 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.”
Genesis Apocryphon 6:11, 19-20
“(Missing section) the heavens. In a vision I saw and was shown and informed about the CONDUCT OF THE SONS OF HEAVEN and what all (missing section) verses 19-20 “the blood which the Nephilim shed. I was calm and I waited until (missing section) HOLY ONES WHO WERE WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN.”
So why is it that our ancestors believed this truth, but followers of YESHUA today reject this truth? Many witnesses have been presented in the message and hopefully some eyes will be opened to understand that the spiritual realm is more real than we are, that the sons of ELOHIM are angels and not the sons of Seth, and also to encourage you to look beyond the 66-Book canon because it is not all of YAHWEH’s word.
As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
