Default Re: Enoch, the Nephalim and fallen angels

You can find Enoch posted online for free. You can copy and paste the text into your favorite editor.
Great minds think a like. I'm scanning through the book of Enoch on line now!! I have not come across anything about crowns or thrones ascribed to angels thus far. Uriel is mentioned as a high ranking angel though.

Sure is written 'different'.

I remember Lee believed that demons were disembodied spirits that were the off-spring of angels mating with women in the days of Noah. I had always wondered where he got that idea.
Yes...and I do believe he was correct in that teaching. Those off-spring were called Nephalim. Goliath is supposed to be a Nephalim. He was a GIANT in the land. And he was not the only one either. There is A LOT of info on the Nephalim these days. I'm still trying to grasp the idea how angels (fallen) could have produced sperm to have offspring. But apparently they did. That is why there is a class of fallen angels who are locked up in hell reserved for judgment:
2 Peter 2:4
Quote:
4...God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
Now, based on the rest of the bible, we know we wrestle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And these are the fallen angels at work.
...different from demons who are the disembodied spirits of the Nephalim, (mighty men of renown) needing a habitation to exist in. They also can die but not so with angels. Demons can die because they are hybrids, the offspring of the sexual union between a fallen angel and a woman. UGH!!!

Quote:
Enoch, which recounts the days of Noah in more detail than does Genesis, explicitly states this.
Yes, Don't know if you are familiar with Perry Stone, he has an interesting teaching on the Nephalim and some of it comes from the book of Enoch. Some people believe the Nephalim will return/re-surface in the last days because the last days are compared to the days of Noah and vs 5 then says:
Quote:
if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;....vs 9: then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment
I say: COME LORD JESUS! COME!!!!

P.S....we're getting away from the CROWNS !!
