Genesis 6


1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4There 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.

I have a question concerning Gen 6:1-4.

Does this Chapter co-exist with the gods of olympia, scandanavian, Egyptian,etc...??? Where thes "gods" in fact the fallen angels along with satan as described in The Book of Enoch???

 

[Dark_Lite]

The "giants," or the nephilim, are the offspring of fallen angels and humans. The Watchers from the Book of Enoch are those fallen angels described here, yes.

Are these nephelim the same as,

Ephesians 6:12

12For 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.



and

Revelation 9

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.
2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon.

and

Revelation 9:13-15
13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

 

[Dark_Lite]

No.

 

[The Mighty Sword]

No.

No??? So the principalities spoken about in Ephesians and not the same demons??? how do you know that, I'm not being sarcastic, but a simple "No" doesn't fly in this day and age with out support for the "No".

 

[Dark_Lite]

Abbadon was not one of the Watchers. Neither are the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

How's that?

 

[PaladinValer]

Powers, principalities; all names of the choirs of angels. In their usual order:

seraphim
cherubim
thrones
dominions
virtues
powers
principalities
archangels
angels

 

[The Mighty Sword]

Abbadon was not one of the Watchers. Neither are the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

How's that?

How about the four Mighty angels??? there were many watchers, many fallen, A 3rd of heaven as a matter of fact, no one could possibly know who they all were not even The Book of Enoch.

 

[PaladinValer]

The four Biblical angels are said to be Sts. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.

That's impossible GOD never locked them up under the two rivers, they roam heaven.

 

[PaladinValer]

I never suggested otherwise.

I merely noted that the four Biblical angels are those that I named, largely became they are named within its pages.

The old testament is consistent with referring to Angels as Sons of God 'ben elohiym'

and if this is the case, these are Satans cronies, and my theory is that this was Satans plan to avoid his curse by corrupting the gene pool of the human race.

Good point, what is your take on the fallen in the Book of Enoch.

Samyaza is described as the leader of the Watchers. It has been suggested that he is Satan, but there are other texts out there which suggest two separate angels.

I have also read that he (Samyaza) is the principalty that resides over Rome, a powerful principality. Hence my question on an ealier post concerning principalities and the watchers, hmmm, could be?.

I have never heard anything like that, and a Google search doesn't turn up anything. In fact the only reference I can find is this thread as the third result. I think whatever you read was either a very fringe theory or otherwise grasping.

 

[Assyrian]

Are you sure that spelling is standard?

 

[Dark_Lite]

Samyaza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has all the spellings.

I believe there are a lot of thing you have never heard of, I found a site concerning what I had read, but someone was nice enought to pollute the site so that it might hard a computer, how convinient someone wouldn't want others to see it, at to your other comment, I could say the same thing about you as far a grasping, but I don't need to you comments such as "I think", "I have never heard" etc..... there is tons of Information I have never heard of and probably never will and I'm ok with not knowing everything, anywho here is the site, This site has a warning so proceed with great caution www.thewebmasons.com/reading3.php (beware)
