The Book of Enoch Chapters 1-34

God comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon replacing the Word with Ritual. Parables 1-2. From "The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament"

R.H. Charles (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913) Section I. Chapters I-XXXVI Chapters 1-54

The Book of Enoch is quoted by Jude and the story is repeated several times. Only by reading Enoch do we grasp what is being quoted. Someone has estimated that the book of Enoch is quoted at least 128 times in the New Testament.

Chapter 1

1 The word of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the elect and the righteous, who were to exist in the time of trouble; rejecting all the wicked and ungodly. Enoch, a righteous man, who was (1) with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me.

(1) N.B. The italicized words supply a gap in the text.

2 From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw;
..........that which will not take place in this generation,
..........but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect.

3 Upon their account I spoke and conversed with him, who will go forth from his habitation,
the Holy and Mighty One, the God of the world:

4 Who will hereafter tread upon Mount Sinai;
..........appear with his hosts; and be manifested in the strength of his power from heaven.

5 All shall be afraid, and the Watchers be terrified.
6 Great fear and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth.
The lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame.
The earth shall be
immerged, and all things which are in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous:
7 But to them shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise clemency.
8 Then shall all belong to God; be happy and blessed; and the splendour of the Godhead shall
illuminate them.

Chapter 2

1 Behold, he comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the wicked, and reprove all the carnal for everything which the sinful and ungodly have done, and committed against him.

When God gave the Book of the Covenant, Exodus reads:

And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. Exodus 19:18

However, as a result of the musical idolatry--rising up to play--God gave them the Book of the Law to protect them. After punishment, God ordained the Levites to stand between the people and the Tabernacle as the symbol of His presence. All but the Levites and Priests were now strangers and the clergy must bear the burden for the people. Therefore, in Deuteronomy, the second law or that "in addition to the Covenant":

And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. Deut.33:1

And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery (burning-goad) law for them. Deut 33:2

Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Deut 33:3
..........Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Deut 33:4
..........This theme of Covenant, sin, and the Law is repeated in The Book of Jubilees

Quoted by Jude, vss. 14, 15.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, Jude 14

To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 15

Chapter 3

Jude condemned the musical agents of Satan and shows that the natural order is for all of God's created world obeys His laws. Only mankind has the freedom to go "roaming" over the sky and, much earlier, go bumping into one another creating great destruction on the earth:

1 All who are in the heavens know what is transacted there.
2 They know that the heavenly luminaries change not their paths; that each rises and sets regularly, every one at its proper period,
..........without transgressing the commands,
....................which they have received.
..........They behold the earth, and understand what is there transacted, from the beginning to the end of it.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gen 8:22

3 They see that every work of God is invariable in the period of its appearance. They behold summer and winter: perceiving that the whole earth is full of water; and that the cloud, the dew, and the rain refresh it.

Chapter 4

1 They consider and behold every tree, how it appears to wither, and every leaf to fall off, except of fourteen trees, which are not deciduous; which wait from the old, to the appearance of the new leaf, for two or three winters.

Chapter 5

1 Again they consider the days of summer, that the sun is upon it at its very beginning; while you seek for a covered and shady spot on account of the burning sun; while the earth is scorched up with fervid heat, and you become incapable of walking either upon the ground or upon the rocks in consequence of that heat.

Chapter 6

1 They consider how the trees, when they put forth their green leaves, become covered, and produce fruit;
..........understanding everything, and knowing that He who lives for ever does all these things for you:

2 That the works at the beginning of every existing year, that all his works, are subservient to him, and invariable; yet as God has appointed, so are all things brought to pass.

3 They see, too, how the seas and the rivers together complete their respective operations:

4 But you endure not patiently, nor fulfill the commandments of the Lord;
..........but you transgress and calumniate his greatness;
..........and malignant are the words in your polluted mouths against his Majesty.

(Poluted in the Hebrew Halal or Chalal speeks fluently of instrument of music directed against God is polluting or prostituting or "taking away God's inheritance." This is the symbol of mark of those who used music as a MARK and cause of ignoring the Word of God. Job 21, Isaiah 5, Ezekiel 33, Amos 5, 6, 8)

Chalal (h2490) khaw-lal'; a prim. root [comp. 2470]; prop. to bore, i. e. (by impl.) to wound, to dissolve; fig. to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge"); denom. (from 2485) to play (the flute): - begin (* men began), defile, * break, defile, * eat (as common things), * first, * gather the grape thereof, * take inheritance, pipe, player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound.

5 You withered in heart, no peace shall be to you!

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Jude 10

Phtheiro (g5351) fthi'-ro; prob. strength. from phthio, (to pine or waste): prop. to shrivel or wither, i.e. to spoil (by any process) or (gen.) to ruin (espec. fig. by mor. influences, to deprave): - corrupt (self), defile, destroy

6 Therefore your days shall you curse, and the years of your lives shall perish; perpetual execration shall be multiplied, and you shall not obtain mercy.

7 In those days shall you resign your peace with the eternal maledictions of all the righteous,
and
sinners shall perpetually execrate you;

8 Shall execrate you with the ungodly.

Lucifer has the king of Babylon as his old agent who will end like Enoch says:

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. Is.14:9

All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Isa 14:10

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm (maggots) is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Is.14:11

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Is.28:15

Lucfer as the king of Tyre is described by Ezekiel:

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:

the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Ezekiel 28:13
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the
holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:14
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiel 28:15

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:16

As the end-time Babylonian Whore:

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. Revelation 18:14

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, Revelation 18:15

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; Revelation 18:22

9 The elect shall possess light, joy, and peace; and they shall inherit the earth.
..........Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

10 But you, you unholy, shall be accursed.

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4

11 Then shall wisdom be given to the elect, all of whom shall live, and not again transgress by impiety or pride; but shall humble themselves, possessing prudence, and shall not repeat transgression.

AND there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Isaiah 11:1

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; Isaiah 11:2

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: Isaiah 11:3

12 They shall not be condemned the whole period of their lives, not die in torment and indignation; but the sum of their days shall be completed, and they shall grow old in peace; while the years of their happiness shall be multiplied with joy, and with peace, for ever, the whole duration of their existence.

Chapter 7

1 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful.

In the Bible this story speaks of Jubal who is Genun:

And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. Gen 4:19
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. Gen 4:20

And his brothers name was
Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle (Taphas: without divine warrant) the harp and organ. Gen 4:21

Taphas (h8610) taw-fas'; a prim. root; to manipulate, i. e. seize; chiefly to capture, wield; spec. to overlay; fig. to use unwarrantably: - catch, handle, (lay, take) hold (on, over), stop, surely, surprise, take.

Taphaph (h8608) taw-faf'; a prim. root; to drum, i. e. play (as) on the tambourine: - taber, play with timbrels.
Topheth (h8611) to'-feth; from the base of 8608; a smiting, i. e. (fig.) contempt: - tabret.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Gen 6:4

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:5

2 And when the angels, (3) the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other,
..........Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men,
..........and let us beget children.
See the generation of Vipers and the Crooked Generation

(3) An Aramaic text reads "Watchers" here (J.T. Milik, Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4 [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976], p. 167).

See Genesis chapter 6, Jubilees 5

We must remember that Jesus said that the Word had been revealed in parables from the foundation of the world.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Mt.13:35

Job tells part of the creation story in clearly symbolic terms:

He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. Job 26:12
By his
spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Job 26:13
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14

MOREOVER Job continued his parable, and said, Job 27:1

H1281 bârıyach bâriach baw-ree'-akh, baw-ree'-akh From H1272 ; a fugitive, that is, the serpent (as fleeing), and the constellation by that name:--crooked, noble, piercing.

This passage, therefore, may not speak of semi-divine offspring of angels and women. Rather, it probably speaks of the religious institutions which are as old as history. By selecting wives who readily fell into the use of music and other forms of Ancient Near Eastern magic, the angels were able to build their own "families of God" in competition with those who obeyed the Word and lived in righteousness and justice. This will become clearer in the next part of First Enoch.

3 Then their leader Samyaza said to them;
..........I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise;
4 And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime.
5 But they answered him and said; We all
swear;
6 And
bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.

7 Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, (4) which is the top of mount Armon. [Hermon]

(4) Upon Ardis. Or, "in the days of Jared" (R.H. Charles, ed. and trans., The Book of Enoch [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1893], p. 63).

More than ten years ago we heard of a band of men who had bound themselves to restructure the church to "introduce instrumental music in worship and provide a wider role for women in worship." The method, of course, had to proceed cautiously as Navigating the Winds of Change.

Jared lived on the Holy Mountain and Satan taught Jubal or Genun how "to look to the hills" to bring them down with musical idolatry and mixed-sex choirs into the dark (no truth) land of the Cainites.

When Genun and the Cainites saw that they had been overcome by "wine, women and song" by Satan, they demonstrated that "misery loves company." In the same way, churches which have been captured by musical worship leave no stone unturned until they slander non-musical groups and try to force them to join. This, in a perverse way, gives those overcome a sense of confidence. The "bigger the crowd" the more they feel comfortable.

8 That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, (5) and bound themselves by mutual execrations.

(5) Mt. Armon, or Mt. Hermon, derives its name from the Hebrew word herem, a curse (Charles, p. 63).

Charam (h2763) khaw-ram'; a prim. root; to seclude; spec. (by a ban) to devote to relig. uses (espec. destruction); phys. and reflex. to be blunt as to the nose: - make accursed, consecrate, (utterly) destroy, devote, forfeit, have a flat nose, utterly (slay, make away).

Cherem (h2764) khay'-rem; or (Zech. 14:11) cherem kheh'-rem; from 2763; phys. (as shutting in) a net (either lit. or fig.); usually a doomed object; abstr. extermination: - (ac-) curse (-d, -d thing), dedicated thing, things which should have been utterly destroyed, (appointed to) utter destruction, devoted (thing), net

This somehow ties Eve to the "cows of Bashan"

JAMES H. CHARLESWORTH noting "mountain of God (is) the mountain of Bashan; A mountain [of many] peaks (is) the mountain of Bashan. "the den of the dragon-snake."..... Indicating that YHWH does not dwell on Bashan, which some Israelites may have confused with Hermon.

Chawah (h2332) khav-vaw'; causat. from 2331; life-giver; Chavvah (or Eve), the first woman: - Eve.
Ge.3:20 And Adam called his wifes name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Ge.4:1 AND Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
Ge 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth. Psa 58:2
Even from birth the
wicked go astray (adulterers, profane); from the womb they are wayward and speak lies. Psa 58:3
Their
venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears Psa 58:4

(Venom in the second instance is the plural of Chauwah, life-giver or Eve, the first woman. She is ZOE, the female instructing principle.) Chauwowth yaiyr (h2334) khav-vothe' yaw-eer'; from the plur. of 2332 and a modification of 3265; hamlets of Jair, a region of Pal.: - [Bashan-] Havoth-jair. [Jaare-oregim']

See Adam and Eve Two Satan taught Genun (composite of Jubal, Jabal, Tubal-Cain and Naaman)
The Bacchae By Euripides
shows the only understanding in history: instruments were given by the "gods."

"Anon shall the whole land be dancing, when Bromius leads his revellers to the hills, to the hills away! where wait him groups of maidens from loom and shuttle roused in frantic haste by Dionysus. O hidden cave of the Curetes! O hallowed haunts in Crete, that saw Zeus born,

where Corybantes with crested helms devised for me in their grotto the rounded timbrel of ox-hide (lifeless instrument), mingling Bacchic minstrelsy with the shrill sweet accents of the Phrygian flute,
..........a gift bestowed by them on mother Rhea,
..........to add its crash of music to the Bacchantes'
..........shouts of joy;
but frantic satyrs won it from the mother-goddess for their own, and added it to their dances in festivals, which gladden the heart of Dionysus, each third recurrent year. Oh! happy that votary, when from the hurrying revel-rout he sinks to earth, in his holy robe of fawnskin, chasing the goat to drink its blood, a banquet sweet of flesh uncooked, as he hastes to Phrygia's or to Libya's hills; while in the van the Bromian god exults with cries of Evoe (Eve or ZOE among the Gnostics). With milk and wine and streams of luscious honey flows the earth, and Syrian incense smokes.

While the
Bacchante holding in his hand a blazing torch of pine uplifted on his wand waves it, as he speeds along, rousing wandering votaries, and as he waves it cries aloud with wanton tresses tossing in the breeze; and thus to crown the revelry, he raises loud his voice, "On, on, ye Bacchanals, pride of Tmolus (a gold-producing mountain in Lydia, near Sardis:)
with its rills of gold to the sound of the booming drum,
chanting in joyous strains the praises of your joyous god with Phrygian accents lifted high,
what time the
holy lute with sweet complaining note invites you to your hallowed sport,

according well with feet that hurry wildly to the hills; like a colt that gambols at its mother's side in the pasture, with gladsome heart each Bacchante bounds along."

9 These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. (6)

(6) The Aramaic texts preserve an earlier list of names of these Watchers:

Semihazah; Artqoph; Ramtel; Kokabel; Ramel; Danieal; Zeqiel; Baraqel; Asael; Hermoni; Matarel; Ananel; Stawel; Samsiel; Sahriel; Tummiel; Turiel; Yomiel; Yhaddiel (Milik, p. 151).

10 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.

Again, remember that the "trees" in Eden were various nations. The nation of Assyria in Ezekiel 31 was the "tallest tree in Eden" who sucked up all of the water (the word).

Wives are symbolic of "churches" in the New Testament and of God's chosen people in the Old Testament. When Israel fell into "worship like the nations" it involved songs and instruments as part of religious incantations.

The the Sons of God and Daughters of men, Chapter XIV.-Their Discoveries.

"For after the intercourse, being asked to show what they were before, and being no longer able to do so, on account of their being unable to do aught else after their defilement, yet wishing to please their mistresses, instead of themselves, they showed the bowel (marrow) of the earth; I mean, the choice metals, [flowers of metal] gold, brass, silver, iron, and the like, with all the most precious stones.

And along with these charmed stones, they delivered the arts of the things pertaining to each, and imparted the discovery of magic, and taught astronomy,

and the powers of roots, and whatever was impossible to be found out by the human mind; also the reeking of gold and silver, and the like, and the various dyeing of garments. And all things, in short,

which are for the adornment and delight of women, are the discoveries of these demons bound in flesh.

Of the king of Tyre as an agent of Lucifer, Ezekiel wrote:

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:

the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze.28:13

11 And the women conceiving brought forth giants, (7)

(7) The Greek texts vary considerably from the Ethiopic text here. One Greek manuscript adds to this section, "And they [the women] bore to them [the Watchers] three races: first, the great giants. The giants brought forth [some say "slew"] the Naphelim, and the Naphelim brought forth [or "slew"] the Elioud. And they existed, increasing in power according to their greatness." See the account in the Book of Jubilees.

12 Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;
13 When they turned themselves
against men, in order to devour them;
14 And began to
injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, (8) and to drink their blood.

(8) Their flesh one after another. Or, "one another's flesh." R.H. Charles notes that this phrase may refer to the destruction of one class of giants by another (Charles, p. 65).

This may be the "polemic" battle noted in Revelation 20.

15 Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.

These were men and women who began as "servants" but before long all of the resources of the people or "church" were devoured by the superior angel (messenger) and his staff and programs. It was always unlawful to demand a tithe of wages. Therefore, God said:

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers,
..........and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages,
..........the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right,
..........and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal.3:5 Woe unto you,
scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye devour widows houses,
and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mt.23:14

Enoch and history agree that music was a primary method of sorcery.

Chapter 8

1 Moreover Azazyel (Tubal-Cain etal.) taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered.

In the Sons of The Gods:

(r) Genun (Tubal-Cain etal.) the Canaanite, son of Lamech the Blind, living in the Land of the Slime Pits,
..........was ruled by Azael from his earliest youth,
..........and invented all sorts of musical instruments.
..........When he played these, Azael entered into them too,
..........so that they gave forth seductive tunes entrancing the hearts of all listeners.
Genun would assemble companies of musicians,
..........who inflamed one another with music until their lust burned bright like fire,
..........and they lay together promiscuously.

He also brewed
beer, gathered great crowds in taverns, gave them to drink,
..........and taught them to forge iron swords and spear-points,
..........with which to do murder at random when they were drunk.

The false breastplace of Lucifer worn by the king/queen of Babylon and of Tyre. Two of the tribal stones are replaced with musical instruments: drums and wind instruments.

"Slightly less familiar are the Devil's musical exploits. He not only loves singing but is master of the violin, of which instrument of evil he is reputedly the inventor. By the same token he can give mastery of the violin, bartering infernal skill for the pupil's soul.

These legends are related to the larger belief in the supernatural origin of musical skill and individual songs." (Botkin, B. A., A Treasury of American Folklore, Crown Publishers, p. 718; Cf. The Devil and the Fiddle, Herbert Halpert, Hoosier Folklore Bulletin, Vol II (Dec., 1943).

"In pagan traditions, musical instruments are invented by gods or demi-gods, such as titans. In the Bible, credit is assigned to antediluvian patriarchs, for example, the descendants of Cain in Genesis 4:21.

There is no other biblical tradition about the invention of musical instruments." (Freedman, David Noel, Bible Review, Summer 1985, p. 51). (Proof Here).

The king of Tyre was the agent of Lucifer according to Ezekiel. In describing the breastplate two Israelite tribes are left out. They are replaced with tambourines and flutes or pipes:

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze.28:13

According to Psalm 41, Judas as the agent of Satan and the den of vipers in Jerusalem, represented the same seductive force Satan always used against God's people. Jesus said that:

They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. Lu.7:32

Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished. Je.48:36

Isa 57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

Anan (h6049) aw-nan'; a prim. root; to cover; used only as denom. from 6051, to cloud over; fig. to act covertly, i. e. practise magic: - * bring, enchanter, Meonemin, observe (-r of) times, soothsayer, sorcerer.

2K.21:6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

Is.2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Je.27:9

And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: Mi.5:12

Isa 57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

Sport:

Anag (h6026) aw-nag'; a prim. root; to be soft or pliable, i. e. (fig.) effeminate or luxurious: - delicate (-ness), (have) delight (self), sport self.

The second book of Adam and Eve puts the emphasis upon instrumental music and mix-sex choirs. We know from Babylonia that this was a primary method of sorcery.

Ravishing music; strong drink loosed among the sons of Cain. They don colorful clothing.
..........The children of Seth look on with longing eyes.
..........They revolt from wise counsel; they descend the mountain into the valley of iniquity.
..........They can not ascend the mountain again.

1 AFTER Cain had gone down to the land of dark soil, and his children had multiplied therein,
there was one of them, whose name was
Genun, son of Lamech the blind who slew Cain.

2 But as to this Genun, Satan came into him in his childhood;
..........and he made sundry trumpets and horns, and string instruments,
..........cymbals and psalteries, and lyres and harps, and flutes;
..........and he played on them at all times and at every hour.

[The horns in Hebrew were the yobels or Jubals from which Jubilee gets its meaning. Genun plays the part of Jubal. The trumpet and the idea of "triumphing over" people with panic noise go together.]

In the Babylonian stories two important gifts or "ME" was the art of homosexual love and making instrumental music. This was important in descending through the seven gates of hell. It was also the practice of lamenting for Tammuz in Ezekiel 8 practiced by the women.

"In the name of my power! In the name of my holy shrine!
To my daughter Inanna I shall give Truth!
..........Descent into the underworld! Ascent from the underworld!
..........The art of lovemaking! The art of kissing the phallus!"
 
"In the name of my power! In the name of my holy shrine!
To my daughter Inanna I shall give
The holy priestess of heaven!
..........The setting up of lamentations! The rejoicing of the heart!
..........The giving of judgements! The making of decisions!"
 
He gave me the art of kissing the phallus.
He gave me the art of prostitution.
He gave me the resounding musical instrument.
He gave me the art of song. 
..........He gave me the art of the elder
..........He gave me the kindling of strife.
 
"On the day the Boat of Heaven
Enters the Nigulla Gate of Uruk,
Let high water sweep over the streets;
Let high water flow over the paths.
Let old men give counsel;
Let old women offer heart-soothing.
Let the young men show the might of their weapons;
Let the little children laugh and sing.
Let all Uruk be festive!
Let the high priest greet the Boat of Heaven with song.
Let him utter prayers.
Let him slaughter oxen and sheep.
Let him pour beer out of the cup.
..........Let the drum and tambourine resound.
..........Let the sweet tigi-music be played.
..........Let all the lands proclaim my noble name.
..........Let my people sing my praises."

Chapter 9

1 Then Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another, It is the voice of their cries;

2 The earth deprived of her children has cried even to the gate of heaven.

And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Amos 8:10

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: Amos 8: 11

And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. Amos 8: 12

3 And now to you, O you holy one of heaven, the souls of men complain, saying,

Obtain Justice for us with (10) the Most High. Then they said to their Lord, the King, You are Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings.

The throne of your glory is for ever and ever, and for ever and ever is your name sanctified and glorified. You are blessed and glorified.

(10) Obtain justice for us with. Literally, "Bring judgment to us from." (Richard Laurence, ed. and trans., The Book of Enoch the Prophet [London: Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., 1883], p. 9).

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Re.6:9

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Rev 6:10

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6:11

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Rev 17:12

These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Rev 17: 13

See The Sophia-Zoe-Music Connection

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Rev 17: 14

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Rev 17: 15

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Re.14:10

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:15

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev 19: 16

4 You have made all things; you possess power over all things; and all things are open and manifest before you. You behold all things, and nothing can be concealed from you.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Rev 4:11

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:13

5 You have seen what Azazyel has done, how he has taught every species of iniquity upon earth,
..........and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens.

See how Nadab and Abihu imposed incense along with the other rituals of worship of "the starry host" because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.

Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? Deut 29:24

Then men shall say, Because they
have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: Deut 29:25

God gave Israel a Covenant like that given to Abraham containing no priesthood or sacrifice. When they returned to the musical worship of Egypt God broke the covenant and gave then another Law which was not good.

For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: Deut 29:26

This musical worship was demon worship according to Paul to the Corinthians 10.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: Deut 29:27

And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. Deut 29:28

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deut 29:29

The making of instrumental music and mixed-sex choirs were taught by Azazyel using youth such as Jubal or Genun. Therefore, when used to take the mind off the Word of God, it is called iniquity and it will be punished when God comes with ten thousand angels or saints.

The Gnostics saw Sophia-Zoe in the same way Lucifer or Azazyel is defined and

Now the production of the instructor came about as follows. When Sophia let fall a droplet of light, it flowed onto the water, and immediately a human being appeared, being androgynous.

That droplet she molded first as a female body.
Afterwards, using the body
she molded it in the likeness of the mother, which had appeared. And he finished it in twelve months. An androgynous human being was produced, whom the Greeks call Hermaphrodites; and whose mother the Hebrews call Eve of Life (Eve-Zoe), namely, the female instructor of life.

Her offspring is the creature that is lord.
Afterwards, the authorities called it "Beast",
so that it might lead astray their modelled creatures.

The interpretation of "the beast" is "the instructor".
For it was found to be the wisest of all beings.

6 Samyaza also has taught sorcery, to whom you have given authority over those who are associated with him. They have gone together to the daughters of men; have lain with them; have become polluted;

Pollute in Hebrew: Chalal (h2490) khaw-lal'; a prim. root [comp. 2470]; prop. to bore, i. e. (by impl.) to wound, to dissolve; fig. to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge"); denom. (from 2485) to play (the flute): - begin (* men began), defile, * break, defile, * eat (as common things), * first, * gather the grape thereof, * take inheritance, pipe, player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound.

7 And have discovered crimes (11) to them.
..........(11) Discovered crimes. Or, "revealed these sins" (Charles, p. 70).
8 The women likewise have brought forth giants.
9 Thus has the whole earth been filled with blood and with iniquity.

10 And now behold the souls of those who are

Matt 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

THE VIPER GENERATION:

Luke 1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we,
.........being delivered
out of the hand of our enemies,
.........might serve him without fear,

The enemy is the Nahash or serpent or Musical Enchanter John called Sorcerers (singers, musicians). 

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. Re.9:19

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Re.12:9
G2190 echthros ekh-thros'  From a primary word echthō (to hate); hateful (passively odious, or actively hostile); usually as a noun, an adversary (especially Satan):--enemy, foe.
G2191 echidna ekh'-id-nah Of uncertain origin; an adder or other poisonous snake (literally or figuratively): viper.

Matt 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell

Fear is "phobos" or 'Apollyon" is the 'spiritual anxiety' or the FEAR and FRIGHT which is Satan's DRIVEN PURPOSE for all musical rituals.

Matt 23:34
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

Matt 23:35
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

11 And complain even to the gate of heaven.

12 Their groaning ascends; nor can they escape from the unrighteousness which is committed on earth. You know all things, before they exist.

13 You know these things, and what has been done by them; yet you do not speak to us.
14 What on account of these things ought we to do to them?

Chapter 10

1 Then the Most High, the Great and Holy One spoke,
2 And sent Arsayalalyur (12) to the
son of Lamech,
..........(12) Arsayalalyur. Here one Greek text reads "Uriel."

3 Saying, Say to him in my name, Conceal yourself.

4 Then explain to him the consummation which is about to take place; for all the earth shall perish; the waters of a deluge shall come over the whole earth, and all things which are in it shall be destroyed.

5 And now teach him how he may escape, and how his seed may remain in all the earth.

6 Again the Lord said to Raphael, Bind Azazyel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in Dudael, cast him in there.

7 Throw upon him hurled and pointed stones, covering him with darkness;
8 There shall he remain for ever; cover his face, that he may not see the light.

9 And in the great day of judgment let him be cast into the fire.

10 Restore the earth, which the angels have
corrupted; and announce life to it, that I may revive it.
11 All the sons of men
shall not perish in consequence of every secret,
..........by which the Watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring.
12 All the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of Azazyel.
..........To him therefore ascribe the whole crime.
13 To Gabriel also the Lord said, Go to the biters, (13) to the reprobates, to the children of fornication;
..........and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth,
..........and excite them one against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs.

(13) Biters. More accurately, "bastards" (Charles, p. 73; Michael A. Knibb, ed. and trans., The Ethiopic Book of Enoch [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1978], p. 88).

14 They shall all entreat you, but their fathers shall not obtain their wishes respecting them; for they shall hope for eternal life, and that they may live, each of them, five hundred years.

15 To Michael likewise the Lord said, Go and announce his crime to Samyaza, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with all their impurity.

And when all their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the perdition of their beloved,
bind them for
seventy generations underneath the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation,
until the judgment,
the effect of which will last for ever, be completed.

This was not against marriage but against marriage of the angelic beings with humans. It is apparent, if we believe the Word, that their descendants still populate the earth and are at work when the sins they committed are repeated:

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. Jude 5

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 6

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 7

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Re.11:8

BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 Peter 2:1

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2: 2

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:
whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2 Peter 2: 3

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2: 4

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eigth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2 Peter 2: 5

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, an
