They were the holy watcher angels who served as Watchers with those like Michael, Gabriel and so on, who were tempted by the Satan's to lust after the flesh of the daughters of Adam, and did do the evil they were tempted to do, and so, became subject to the Satan's, and took an oath to remain in the bodies they appear in on earth to minister, to judge, and to rule as princes. There were 200 of them who descended at Mount Zion in the north, which ever after was called "Mount Hermon", because of the oath they took to be cursed and not enter their domain ever, again.
It is in the Book of Enoch.
It is in "my canon", as it is in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church canon, and always has been, since they have "had" a "canon".The Book of Enoch is NOT in the Canon. This means that you are believing something which is "adding to" what is actually in the Bible. Amen?
Thank you again for your response. Some of what you said this time startled me though. Eden in the third heaven -- can you give me a reference for that? I had always thought Eden was on earth. And atmospheric rivers -- that was a new one to me. Do have any reference for that? I'm planning to write a historical novel about the antediluvian world, the times of Methuselah, and I've been collecting ideas from all sorts of places, Genesis, Peter, Jude, Jewish, Greek, Chinese, and Sumerian mythology, stories of Atlantis, the books of Jasher, Enoch, and Jubilees, etc. As you can imagine, there are a lot of different opinions, and I'm trying to pick what fits together best.Yes, there are fossils in the cement used to build the pyramid, and there was flood caused by the river Gihon overflowing when one third of men on earth were killed, to warn of their evil ways.
The Bible does not say it had not rained on earth until Noah's flood...
There was a long time from Genesis 1 to Genesis 7, and the earth needs rain and will always have rain and snow, and four seasons. From the beginning, the earth has had four seasons, and the rainbow is God's token/sign that the whole globe will never have another total world wide destruction of all flesh as it did in the flood of Noah, and there will always be four seasons, just as there were before the flood.
Also, as to the waters above the heavens which were raised above the stretched out heavens on day 2 of creation week, from them, the atmospheric rivers pour down to water the earth.
Eden is in the third heaven, states the Word of God, where Paradise is, and the Tree of Life in the midst of it, which is where God's Holy Mount is, that Adam was taken to and set in, to labor and "guard" Paradise, as the original language in Genesis so states, before he was cast down, and driven out/divorced, from the presence of the Glory there. And out of Eden, in the third heaven, there flowed a river that became four heads of four rivers on earth below. That river out of Eden in heaven is an atmospheric river, which "science" understands [again, for all things were once known, like this, as Solomon said], and atmospheric rivers can carry more water than the Amazon.
We have an atmospheric river that brings water to our Northwest every fall, called the "Pineapple Express", for it comes out of the heavens from Hawaii way. It can be violent in its dumping of waters upon us, or it can bring blessed relief to our hungry for water areas, and I suppose the flooding of the River Gihon before Noah's flood, was such a flooding as that, only in such a degree that one third of men on earth were killed.

"'Atmospheric river' of rain pointed at Northern California - LA Observed
...To put the magnitude of these events in context: atmospheric rivers are (in aggregate) responsible for over 90% of global atmospheric water transport between subtropical and mid-latitude regions, and a single strong event is capable of moving an amount of water equivalent to 15 times the flow rate of the Mississippi River!
Those familiar with California weather and climate can attest to the critical role played by atmospheric rivers in driving wintertime precipitation extremes. Ive noted in the past that California is dependent on just a handful of significant storm events for the majority of its annual precipitation, and this handful is usually associated with atmospheric rivers. Californias great floods in the historical past were almost all associated with atmospheric rivers, including the spectacular event of 1861-1862which filled much of the Central Valley with floodwaters and inundated the fledgling state capital in Sacramento. Interestingly, scientists recently highlighted the important role atmospheric rivers have played in breaking many of Californias historical droughts."
The breadth of the earth is the outstretched expanse, called "heaven", which was stretched out from the earth on day 2 of creation week:
Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
In Revelation, when Satan and his hordes of evil angels. All the satans are created evil angels, with one chief prince, and they were created to do what they do: they are not formerly holy angels, but always were exactly what they have been since the beginning of creation, when they were created to try, tempt, test the holy angels and the Adam creation. Their rewards are to torment their prey forever and forever in the Lake of Fire, for tormenting their prey is food and drink to them. Satan will be confined only to his kingdom of darkness which he is the created prince of, and which kingdom is the Lake of Fire, after the final battle at the end of the thousand year Sabbath reign of earth, but my mention of that is to show that at the end of the thousand year reign, when the let loose satans try, tempt, and test the sons of God born on earth in the thousand year reign and who are the offspring of those who entered the kingdom of God come to earth at the end of the tribulation, in their own not translated bodies, to marry and populate the earth for the thousand years; they attempt to ascend to the City of God in heaven, the "Camp of the Saints", and fire comes down out of heaven and destroys them.
That final battle at the end of the millennial reign, is not on the earth, but in the heavens, in the outstretched "breadth" of the earth.
The fire that destroys them is in heaven, from heaven, and they are not destroyed on earth below, from where they ascended to heaven, from, to try to take over the City of God, for in Isaiah 26:19-21, the prophet wrote that , "the earth will no more cover her slain".
When the first resurrection of the righteous is ended in its last stage, which is the gleanings of the martyrs raised from the dead at the end of the tribulation, then there will never be another human being body buried in the earth, for all who are judged by the "God of the whole earth", [at the judgment of the "elect=Jacob's seed, who are judged at Mount Sinai and cast away as rejects: Ezekiel 20:33-44; and the goat Gentiles judged and cast away by the LORD at His return, are cast into the Lake of Fire, and they all will be cast there soul in body. they do not die, even, physically, but go straight to the Lake of Fire.
All who are sinners in the Millennial Sabbath die "accursed" =damned, and go to the lake of Fire: they will not be buried in the earth, for God says so, in Isaiah.
It is all in the Bible and the Book of Enoch.
The breadth of the earth is the outstretched heavens, stretched out from the earth, between the cut in two waters of this creation, and the stretched out from the earth heavens, the breadth of the earth, is where the seven mountains are which Enoch describes, with Eden, the Holy Mount of God, being the highest; and which is where the throne of God for the Son of Man is, where He shall sit to reign when He takes His power unto Himself as "The God of the whole earth" and reigns, and puts down all authority and power, and "resets the pillars of earth" [Psalm 75: 2,3, in the Hebrew original].
2 Cor 12:2- I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; How that he was caught up into paradise...
The Tree of Life is in the midst of the Paradise of God, and always has been:
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
The river that came out of Eden came out of heaven, and watered the Garden, then became four heads of four rivers on earth below.
Atmospheric rivers still come out of heaven.
Yes, there was rain.You begin to persuade me, but I still need a little more help to understand -- I hope you can indulge me for a few more questions:
1. Genesis 2: 5-6 seem conventionally to be taken that streams rather than rain were watering the ground. Are you saying that the rain started in verse 10?
2. Genesis 2: 8-9 describes the Garden of Eden as being in the east with a number of trees besides the tree of life. Is "east" somehow equivalent to the third heaven? Do you think like the third heaven was some kind of divine horticultural space station. possibly geocentric? Or do you think there was some kind of like 5th dimensional gate in the clouds, that God and those with Him could disappear into or emerge out of?

3. Why is Gihon chosen to be the atmospheric river?
4. Are the Tigris and Euphrates in Genesis essentially the same rivers, in roughly the same place as they are now?
5. What about the Pishon? Any idea where Havilah is?
No, that is not what the Word states.
It states that Adam multiplied on earth and daughters born, and the sons of God saw the daughters of Adam, that they were fair, and they took wives of all whom they chose, and went in to them, and giants were born.
Before the flood and after the flood, as Moses wrote, sons of God/ben Elohym, took/laqach, daughters of Adam.
It does not sat Adam married daughters of Adam, but sons of Elohym took daughters of Adam.
Check out the language used by Moses, using the concordance.
ben/sons Elohym/God took daughters/bath Adam
"ben Elohym laqach bath Adam"
Please look at the Scriptures for doctrine, and not in that absurd false theology you just espoused!That the most absurd distortion of the the scripture that I have heard in a long time.
Gen 6:1
6:1 And it came to pass, when men (plural of Adam) began to multiply (male and female)on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them (plural-man and his wife shall one flesh)
2 That the sons of God (plural of Adam, who is written in Luke 3:38, which was the son of God.) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."
Thank you for your response and your patience. I want to see now if I am understanding you correctly: Eden supplied the water for four rivers, two of which, Tigris and Euphrates, still exist. The water came from a place Enoch, but few others, could get to. The location, identified as the third heaven, is like a mountain which many, if not most, of us cannot see. Is this right?Yes, there was rain.
The atmospheric river that came out of Eden became the source of four river heads on earth
below.
Yes, the rivers are the same, but the earth was divided after Babel, which began at Babel and continued until we have the great waters separating the continents, basically, for that is what we are taught in the Word and in Jasher and in Enoch

In Genesis 1, the waters were commanded to be gathered together in "one place".
There were streams and currents in the waters, but they were all one navigable ocean. Then the land was called into being, out of the waters, and it was one land, with one great island, as Enoch speaks of.
Only at Babel was the one mother tongue [Hebrew] divided into 70 -plus the remaining Hebrew mother tongue for Shem and his descendants. The 70 then spread out to over 5,000 today, as the tribes spread out and populated the earth.
The spreading out of the tongues began at Babel, and continued over time. In the same manner the land began to be divided at the time of Babel, and continued to divide til it settled into what is, over the globe, today. Eber named his two sons prophetically for the events that would happen at Babel, for all names in the line from the beginning are prophetically given, and lining them up from the beginning, they tell, in Hebrew, the story of the fall and the redemption, going through the flood, even, up to the Christ come in flesh.
Someone has that on youtube video, to go through for yourself.
Mount Eden, God's heavenly Mount, where His Paradise is, and the Tree of Life is, in His own "planted" Garden, is still right up there in the outstretched "breadth of the earth", in the third heaven, where it has always been, from the beginning.
It is veiled to our eyes, but He opens the eyes of certain persons at certain times "to see" into the opened heavens. -That is in many places in Scripture.
It is veiled since the rebellion at Babel, IMO, but will be unveiled in the millennial reign, just as the mother tongue will be restored to all the earth in the millennial reign, as Scripture teaches.
The vail covering the temple Holy of Holies represents that vail, and it is destroyed for all who are born again in Christ's one living Spirit, since the Atonement; but for our spirits, only, for we are seated with Christ in the heavenlies in that "One Spirit of Adoption"; but the eyes of our flesh must be opened to see in, and it can be, at times, but only when He alows it for His purposes, as Scripture teaches.
When we are changed into the image of the New Man,bodily, then we enter in and go out, in our flesh bodies, and there is no more "door", or Vail, to blind us or keep us out.
For now, our eyes are blinded and we cannot see what is plainly there, and more real than "the ground we stand on", as one preacher used to say; but just like the angels smote the men of Sodom with blindness so that they had to search for the entry of Lot's house all night, in vain, though they could "see" perfectly, and could not find the door, so we cannot see the Door of entry into Heaven's Holy Mount -or into the other mounts Enoch visited, in heaven.
BTW: Enoch also saw one great river there, larger than all the rivers on earth [below].
Enoch visited the Garden of Eden in Paradise and described it as populated with many varrying birds and beasts....it is still God's Garden, and Christ come in flesh is the Only Door open to us, which we can "go through" to "enter in".
Is 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all.
I did locate "Havilah" on Google earth, once, it is very small, and poor, now, but it is located in what is Pakistan, now, but was ancient Persia/India.
I wrote on a board, maybe this one, the location of the rivers from research that I did, once, but I have not got the same computer nor do I know where I wrote that....maybe I can find it without doing it again....
yes, and yes...Post script -- Do think the Gihon and Pishon rivers still exist? Like one of them in Pakistan? Do you think the atmospheric river from Eden still supplies water to any of the four rivers it did before?
Well, I think the Genesis says the River that came out of Eden and watered Paradise in Eden, which is in the third heaven, became four headwaters, for four rivers on earth below, and it names the four.Thank you for your response and your patience.

Adam was never "Adam, son of God" ...."
There is no "plural" in Hebrew for Adam. The word is the name of the male and the female that the Creator made them, and named them, as Genesis 5:2, states: "male and female made He them, and called their name "Adam".
The Hebrew states that Adam multiplied; daughters were born; the sons of God saw the daughters of Adam....and took some for wives, and giants were born, both before the flood and after.
Sons of God is ben Elohym, and daughters of Adam is bath Adam.
Go look at the Scrptures and see for yourself. Use a good concordance.
The jubilee started with Moses 3500 years ago. This Sept 23 2015 will be the 70 th Jubilee. It falls on the Equinox when day and night are the same. This is a time when there will be more darkness and less light in the world but as the Bible says: "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound". So there will be more of the power of God in the world to deliver people from the bondage of sin.for there were 120 Jubilee years from that time, to the end of this present creation, and the New Beginning.

Actually, Jubilee years and weeks are just one of God's different measures of time that the rolling around heavens mark.The jubilee started with Moses 3500 years ago. This Sept 23 2015 will be the 70 th Jubilee. It falls on the Equinox when day and night are the same.
