History of the Fallen Angels in Human History
The
fallen angels are very much like the fallen human race and are subject to their
temptations and consequent acts. One
such act is described in Gen. 6
|
Gen
6:1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were
born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were
beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. . . . 4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days -- and also afterward -- when
the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them.
They were the heroes of old, men of renown. |
In
this particular case, these beings are material physical beings not spirits
alone as is often forced upon us. Otherwise
how can the physical beauty could cause attraction for them and how could they
have sex with the daughters of men and have children.
This is one clear indication that Sons of God is a general term
indicative of beings with free will whether they have material or nonmaterial
forms and bodies. In this case they
were certainly beings with a body and sex organs.
The
story is described in detail in the non-canonical books of Enoch and Jubilee.

BOOK
OF ENOCH [Chapter
6] 1
And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those
days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels,
the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one
another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3
and beget us children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them:
'I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have
to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said:
'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5
not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all
together and bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they
were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit
of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn 7
and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the
names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel,
Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel,
Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are
their chiefs of tens. [Chapter
7] 1
And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each
chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile
themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and
the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3
became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three
thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men
could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and
devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and
reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the
blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones. [Chapter
8] 1
And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and
breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art
of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony,
and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and
all 2 colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they
committed fornication, and they 3 were led astray, and became corrupt in
all their ways. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros
the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the
constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of
the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the
moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . .

The Book of Jubilees another
non-canonical book also elaborates on this theme:
|
JUBILEES 5:1-2 And it came to pass when the children of men
began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto
them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee,
that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of
all whom they 2 chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants. . . .. . . And
lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike
men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth
- all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to
devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every
imagination of the thoughts of all men 3 (was) thus evil continually |
These angels
are called children of heaven in contrast to children of men. They were alien
beings from other material worlds. As
we are they also are with freedom to choose.
This choice still continues in the heaven.
After the angels sinned by marrying human women, they bore them gigants.
(Again indication of the physical body of the Angels involved) The Bible calls
thm nephilim, the "mighty men of old, warriors of
renown" (Gen. 6:4). The descendants of the nephilims whose patriarch was
Anak formed several tribes. Some of
these tribes are mentioned as present during the time of invasion of Canaan
around 5c BC. These are Rephaim,
Zumim, Emim (Gen. 14:5), Anakim (Deu. 2:11), and Zamzummim (Deu. 2:20). Goliath
and his brothers probably were the last of them.
It was these
giants that the spies sent out by Moses saw and were afraid.

Num
13:31-33 But the men who had
gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are
stronger than we are." And they spread among the Israelites a bad
report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we
explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of
great size. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from
the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked
the same to them." |
We are told
that these angels who violated the quarantine regulation, disobeyed God’s
strict warning not ot leave their planet, left their planet,
came down on this planet earth and got involved themselves sexualy with
human beings are kept in chains till their judgement.
|
Jude
6 And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their
proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the
judgment of the great Day. II
Pe 2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down
to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for
judgment; I
Pe 3:19 . . . He went and preached to the spirits in
prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine
longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being
prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water |
According to
the Book of Enoch, the giants, the children of Anaks were sentenced to roam the
earth even after their death. These
are called Demons or evil spirits that possess men.
|
ENOCH
12:4 . . . Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, go, declare
to the Watchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holy
eternal place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as
the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves 5 wives: "Ye
have wrought great destruction on the earth: And ye shall have no peace
nor forgiveness 6 of sin: and inasmuch as they delight themselves in their
children, the murder of their beloved ones shall they see, and over the
destruction of their children shall they lament, and shall make
supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not attain."
(The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, R.H.
Charles) ENOCH
15:8 And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh,
shall be called evil spirits upon 9 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; 10 they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits
shall they be called. [As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven 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 12
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. (The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old
Testament, R.H. Charles) |
