Next Topic - Part Three: For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood – “Mount Hermon, the Days of Noah & After”
PLEASE CHALLENGE MY BLOG ENTRIES WITH PRAYER & TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY, RESEARCH, AND COMPARE MY WORDS WITH THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE, TO ENSURE THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
“(10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. (11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:10-12 KJV
The Watchers (sons of God/Heaven) & Nephilim (giants) - Genesis 6
(1) When human beings began
to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, (2) the
sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married
any of them they chose. (3) Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend
with a humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and
twenty years.” (4) The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also
afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children
by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:1-4, NIV
Who are the Watchers, why did
they fall from their heavenly station, who are Nephilim and what happened to
them after the Great Flood, and how does this all relate to the Qlimax
festival, contemporary popular culture, and the Judeo-Christian church? Below
are passages from 1 Enoch 6:1-8 and 1 Enoch 15:1-12 that will answer a few of these
questions.

And 200 Swear An Oath On Mount Hermon - 1 Enoch 6:1-8
 |
| Mount Hermon, Wikipedia, June 25, 2020 |
1 And it came to pass, when
the sons of men had increased, that in those days there were born to them fair
and beautiful daughters.
2 And the Angels, the sons of
Heaven, saw them and desired them. And they said to one another: “Come, let us
choose for ourselves wives, from the children of men, and let us beget, for
ourselves, children.”
(Genesis 6:1-4), (Numbers 13:33), (Baruch 3:24-28)
3 And Semyaza, who was their
leader, said to them: “I fear that you may not wish this deed to be done and
that I alone will pay for this great sin.”
4 And they all answered him,
and said: “Let us all swear an oath, and bind one-another with curses, so not
to alter this plan, but to carry out this plan effectively.”
5 Then they all swore
together and all bound one another with curses to it.
6 And they were, in all, two
hundred and they came down on Ardis, which is the summit of Mount Hermon. And
they called the mountain Hermon because on it they swore and bound one another
with curses.
7 And these are the names of
their leaders: Semyaza, who was their leader, Urakiba, Ramiel, Kokabiel,
Tamiel, Ramiel, Daniel, Ezeqiel, Baraqiel, Asael, Armaros, Ananel, Zaqiel,
Samsiel, Satael, Turiel, Yomiel, Araziel.
8 These are the leaders of
the two hundred Angels and of all the others with them.[1]
Judgment Against The Nephilim - 1
Enoch 15:1-12
1 And He answered me, and
said to me with His voice: “Hear! Do not be afraid, Enoch, you righteous man,
and scribe of righteousness. Come here and hear my voice.
2 And go say to the Watchers
of Heaven, who sent you to petition on their behalf: You ought to petition on
behalf of men, not men on behalf of you.
3 Why have you left the High,
Holy and Eternal Heaven, and lain with women, and become unclean with the
daughters of men, and taken wives for yourselves, and done as the sons of the
earth, and begotten giant sons?
4 And you were spiritual,
Holy, living an eternal life, but you became unclean upon the women, and begot
children through the blood of flesh, and lusted after the blood of men, and
produced flesh and blood, as they do, who die and are destroyed.
5 And for this reason I give
men wives; so that they might sow seed in them, and so that children might be
born by them, so that deeds might be done on the Earth.
6 But you, formerly, were
spiritual, living an eternal, immortal life, for all the generations of the
world.
7 For this reason I did not
arrange wives for you; because the dwelling of the spiritual ones is in Heaven.
8 And now, the giants who
were born from body and flesh will be called Evil Spirits on the Earth, and on
the Earth will be their dwelling.
9 And evil spirits came out
from their flesh, because from above they were created, from the Holy Watchers
was their origin and first foundation. Evil spirits they will be on Earth and
‘Spirits of the Evil Ones’ they will be called.
10 And the dwelling of the
Spirits of Heaven is Heaven, but the dwelling of the spirits of the Earth, who
were born on the Earth, is Earth.
11 And the spirits of the
giants do wrong, are corrupt, attack, fight, break on the Earth, and cause
sorrow. And they eat no food, do not thirst, and are not observed.
12 And these spirits will
rise against the sons of men, and against the women, because they came out of
them during the days of slaughter and destruction.[2]

Here is the sinner’s prayer if you are moved to give your life to Christ –
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.”
