The blessing of Enoch—the hope of the righteous

The Earth Groans Under the Oppression of Fallen Angels

Zutuel brings his complaints before the gates of God,
concerning the oppression taking place on the earth under angelic rule. Azazel has the minds of the people tethered to himself, and he’s teaching them (through the colleges of false education) how to survive untethered from God. Knowledge is increasing, but not in the form of faith; it’s increasing in the form of corruption, as the prophet Daniel said: “and knowledge shall increase, and people shall travel to and fro”; and people are now oppressed under the weight of false knowledge.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

1 Then Michael, Surafel, and Gabriel observed carefully from the sky and they saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all the oppression being wrought upon the earth.

Michael, Surafel (Rafel), and Gabriel are holy angels of great rank. And from the position of the authority they also studied the matters that were taking place on the earth, and the things that were unfolding regarding the curse, which the fallen Watchers bound themselves under.

They were watching these things, and Satan wasn’t resisting them, as we see in the book of Job, of how Satan was assigned by God to perform a certain task.

So, we see Michael, Rafel (Syurafel), and Gabriel here observing. And much blood was being shed (sacrifices), both human and animal sacrifices, and also the victims. The people (the Adamites) became victims of the giants, and all the oppression that was being carried forth on the earth (Satan causing confusion). He was causing derision in the minds of the people; they were not able to understand the things that were taking place. And there were also social clashes, and there was hoarding of land during this period of time.

2 And they said to one another, “The earth, (from) her empty (foundation), has brought the cry of their voice unto the gates of heaven.

“And they said to one another, “The earth”
the angel of the earth, his name is Zutuel
“The earth from her empty foundation”,
which is the invisible pillar it stands upon,
“has brought the cry of their voice unto the gates of heaven.”
Zutuel was petitioning God regarding the violence that was taking place in his dominion, and he also brought before the Lord as evidence (2) to be examined for the judge….
As we also see in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, when the Lord, Himself, came within this dimension and sent his angels, in order to examine the cry that was coming forth from Sodom and Gomorrah. And we see this happening again here.

So, he brought the angel of the earth, Zutuel brought his complaints before the gates of God, and also his complaint was with evidence in that it had to do with witnessing the oppression that was taking place on the earth, and also awaiting the final nod, concerning the earth’s destruction.

Now in verse 3 Enoch goes on—

3 And now, (O) holy ones of heaven, the souls of people are putting their case before you pleading, ‘Bring our judgment before the Most High.’

“And now”
which says to understand,
“And now, (O) holy ones of heaven, the souls of people are putting their case before you pleading,”
saying this:
‘Bring our judgment before the Most High.’ ”
Here, [prophet] Enoch is saying, Understand, you Watchers (the Watchers of his presence), Those that have peace in his light right now (in that darkness rules below you), he’s saying that there’s no equity within this earth, and the earth itself is pleading against their atrocities, against their works, against the institutions of false knowledge, against the interbreeding that was taking place, and that God was assigning a time element of 500 years.

So, they were pleading before him, and the angel of the earth was pleading before the Lord regarding this intrusion.

4 And they said to the Lord of the potentates, ‘For he is the Lord of lords, and the God of gods, and the King of kings, and the seat of his glory (stands) throughout all the generations of the world. Your name is holy, and blessed, and glorious throughout the whole world.

“And they said to the Lord of the potentates,”
and all powers,
“And they said to the Lord of the potentates, ‘For he is the Lord of lords, and the God of gods, and the King of kings, and the seat of his glory (stands) throughout all the generations of the world. Your name is holy, and blessed, and glorious throughout the whole world.”
We see here that these particular titles were assigned to God; that’s why he’s called, the Most High, because he is superior above all (4) creation, all other gods; the God of gods, the Lord of lords, the same titles that were granted to Jesus that were put upon his cross—Lord of lords, King of kings.

So, here we can see that these titles were granted to him because God is self-devised, He’s self-originate, self-perfected, self-eternal, immaculate (being pure and spotless with no blemish). Jesus carried the same titles because he’s God, and there was no stain within him, no flaw to be found within his wisdom. And he rules supreme, as an autocrat. He has unlimited authority, undisputed influence or power.

So, here we see the angels addressing the Lord of hosts, our Lord, the one that died on the cross and rose again from the dead. They said to the Lord who is all powerful,
“Lord of the potentates”
He’s the crown of all creation,
“the Lord of lords, and the God of gods, and the King of kings”
He is the vow of all creation because he’s the voice—the knowledge of his throne is carried forth into all creation by the voice, and everything that he created is tethered to himself (so, he’s the Oath), and by his knowledge the righteous walk by faith. So he is the Voice, the Oath, and the Word—He’s the VOW. That’s why he says here, and the seat of all glory…of all things. Everything is tethered to him, and he rules throughout all the generations of the world.

God is putting everything—everything was created by him and everything is in rhythm with himself. He put eternity within a portion of time, and he marked this time; he put everything within a time frame. So, he says, and

“Your name”
being the authorized, sanctified kingdom,
“Your name is holy,”
being a (6) point of contact.

Even the angels have to come in contact with God to be sustained within the glory of their light. If they don’t come in contact with God for their light to be sustained, then their light would diminish in the darkness. They need renewal for the purpose of their survival, just like we need renewal with the knowledge of God for our survival. But god is going to grant to us these very portions of himself, that we will also become self-devised, self-originate, self-perfected, self-eternal.

We will receive these powers because we’re going to inherit God. We’re going to receive these powers for the purpose of our dimension, to rule and reign with Christ, as the Apostle John writes. The Apostle John is carrying on the theme of this memorial and the theme of this history. He’s giving this knowledge back to the church, which Satan robbed from the church. He robbed this understanding from the church so that the church could continually struggle with their sins.

The church that’s struggling with their sins is in the house of Baal. But the church that is being prepared for glory are those that are in covenant with God, or in the house of Christ. This is what Paul wrote about; Paul wrote about our inheritance—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ is assigning us these powers. And these powers, which God assigned to us, began their work within us at conversion, so that we carry these treasures within our heart. And because we carry these treasures within our heart, we receive the fulness of them in heaven— “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” ; remember, Jesus said that (Mat 6:21).

The things that you’re sowing now within the kingdom of God through charity (charity builds, but envy diminishes). Bitterness diminishes the powers of Christ. Envy diminishes the powers of Christ. Emulation diminishes the powers of Christ. These are the works of iniquity that rob the heart of faith (50) and the mind of understanding, and keeps the vessel in the state of corruption.

But Jesus, by covenant, has granted the church this knowledge at this present time to restore unto us this glory, that we, with faith and patience, can await the time of perfection to enter into that inheritance. But without this understanding we would continually wander in our ignorance, trying to resolve our sins through contrition.

This is what the false religious system does. In the house of Baal, they’re always trying to resolve the conflict that’s within them and are always repenting because they carry an evil conscience, yet they’re trying to walk by faith.

You can’t walk by faith with an evil conscience, because faith only gives you the good conscience. By faith we reflect God perfectly. By faith we see eye to eye. By faith we see face to face—because by faith Peter beheld the face of God. That’s why Jesus rejoiced at that reciprocation, because Peter saw the face of God—not in the form of the flesh, but in the form of the knowledge… “You are the Christ”, he said. “You are the Son of the living God.” [1]
That is perfect reciprocation by grace.

But Judas only beheld a plan. He tried to resolve something by his knowledge, and he was called, the thief and the betrayer; he who betrayed him.

A calling doesn’t save you, but covenant will. Even the angels received great titles, as Satan received the title of an archangel; but that didn’t save him from his derision because he chose contrariness to faith.

So, here we see in the book of Enoch,

“Your name is holy,”
as an only contact point because it benefits the mind; it brings understanding for ever, and (therefore), it’s without restrictions of death.

Your faith is without (10) the restrictions of death. God is nurturing within our soul at this present time eternal things. That’s amazing, that even though we’re in temporary vessels, yet God is nurturing within our soul eternal things.

We are multidimensional in our creation, just like our Father is multidimensional.

5 You have made everything and with you is the authority for everything. Everything is naked and open before your sight, and you see everything; and there is nothing which can hide itself from you.

We see the same thing written in the book of Psalms. Even the Apostles said that; even Jesus talked about that—the nakedness of man’s soul. Nothing can be concealed from God because everything is tethered to him. Just like your hand can’t hide itself from you. Can your hand hide itself from your understanding? You’re always aware of the presence of your being: the movement of your feet, the movement of your fingers, the direction of your eyes, and the power of your mouth. Even the Apostle James talks about that with regards to the tongue— “it’s a small member, yet boasts great things”.

So, everything is tethered to God, and God knows of his existence, his presence, his direction, his thinking, his mindset, and his destination. He knows everything. He made everything, as it says here in verse 5:

“You have made everything”
The God-Code was designed within everything that he constructed; everything that he designed carries this mystery—the God-Code plus faith, being designed in the image of yourself in everything.

So, we can see that even Jesus spoke of parables. A parable is sealed in everything that you created, and everything is tethered to you by your Oath. So, when Jesus spoke parables (remember, Jesus was speaking parables regarding his plan, regarding himself, and how these things will be unfolded).

“with you is the authority”
the voice of his Oath,
“for everything. Everything is naked and open”
even the foundation of the signature; the foundation of the signature of (12) all creation is open before him.

He sees everything, and nothing can be hid from him.
All creation is connected to your soul—that shows how God is the autocrat; unlimited authority, undisputed influence and power over everything.

6 You see what Azazel has done; how he has taught all (forms of) oppression upon the earth. And they revealed eternal secrets which are performed in heaven (and which) man learned.

“You see what Azazel has done; how he has taught all forms of oppression upon the earth. And they”
the angels,
“they revealed your eternal secrets which are performed in heaven and which man learned.”
God gave man the power of writing. God gave man the power of reason.

The power of reason was given to man from the mobility of the angels and from clouds. He’s not talking about the vapors that exist in the firmament, but he’s talking about the mobility of clouds… being spirits of high intelligence, which perform things regarding the mobility of your own body (the heart rate, the body temperature, the functioning angels of your understanding, the mind, ….everything that is performed within your body is from these powers.)

Now Azazel, as it says here in verse 6….

“You see what Azazel has done;”
in other words, he’s saying, the evidence points to the criminal, which is Azazel; he plunders by his counsel. As I said earlier, charity builds, but envy plunders. Azazel has taught oppression on the earth. Instead of building the kingdom of God, they’re plundering the kingdom of God.

That’s exactly what Jesus said— “He that gathers not with me scatters abroad.” [2] “He that is not building by my knowledge is trying to plunder by envy and bitterness.”

And that’s what the Pharisees did. The Pharisees plundered the house of God by their own envy and bitterness. They were driven by their aspiration, and they were trying to fulfill the God-code with the moral code in their own signature; because the moral code is connected to the flesh; the flesh is connected to Satan’s house. And the Pharisees were trying to worship God on the grounds (14) of their own moral code. They were trying to bring correction through scripture, rather than through covenant.

So, here, they’re saying, Look how he spoils; he spoils the soul and defiles the conscience. He puts barriers to man’s reason, and he dims their understanding. Look ho he’s taught all these forms of oppression because he plunders and brings conflict among all the people.

The knowledge of this world continually plunders society. You notice that? Everything that is being taught (which is outside of the covenant), the kingdoms of this world (being in darkness under Satan’s 13 princes, under his 13 kingdoms, which Isaiah spoke about, Daniel talked about, the book of Revelation speaks about, and the book of Enoch speaks of) how the heavenlies are plundering their victims; just as the ocean reflects the sky, (so) the soul of the sinners reflect the master, which they’re under, and they’re tethered to Satan’s influence (of his 13 princes).

And Azazel has the minds of the people tethered to himself, and he’s teaching them (through the colleges of false education), he’s teaching them how to survive untethered from God. By teaching them how to survive untethered from God, which is a lie, by the way, because what they think is survival is plundering each other. So, they’re hoarding land. And the fallen Watchers were amassing together all the elements of the world and teaching man how to set standards. By setting these standards, they taught man how to create social classes.

“You see what Azazel has done; how he has taught all these forms of oppression”
this false knowledge

Man pursues the knowledge of this world for his peace and security,

which Jesus spoke about…that they’re going to say, “Peace and security; Peace and safety, and then sudden destruction comes upon them.” [3]

When Adamites feel that they have achieved the goals of their boasting, that they have reached the pinnacle of their aspirations, that they have brought (16) under rule every one under their principle, then they say, Peace and security. And then sudden destruction comes upon them.

The eternal secrets of the angels were being taught to man with regards to the powers of the angel, they hypnotic powers of rhythm and pitch and sound, as well as the projection of the imagination.

“They (have) revealed eternal secrets”
they unfolded the skills to advance the imagination of man.

We can see this today; in every society Adamites are trying to achieve the goals of their imagination with the powers of iniquity, which has to do with the aspiration and principle. They’re doing the same things Azazel taught to those of the 1st millennium. And that which they taught in the first millennium is still carried forth in tradition of the 7th millennium, in which we’re living now—the last generation—the last days, which the Apostle Peter spoke about—in the last (two) days. And we’re in the last of the days now.

“He has taught all (these) forms of oppression on the earth”
to the people, to the Adamites; to instruct them in how to resist grace by false knowledge. Like I said, we see this in every institution in the world today. It doesn’t matter where you live, throughout the whole world, every society is teaching these things, which began with Azazel and Semyaz. as well as Satan.

But Satan is a whole different class in itself. He was a cherub, being cast out of heaven, but the Watchers and Satan did not come in collusion as yet. The Watchers could take over the whole world in this physical dimension. But he (Satan) was denied the physical and that’s why he remains in the form of the invisible today. But once he’s cast out of his dimension and comes into this dimension, he’s called, the dragon (as you see in Rev 13) [4]

When God cleans out the dimension of the princes, which is in the atmosphere in the first heaven called, Wilen, when they’re cast out, then they’re going to take physical form, (18) and they will rule the world. The angels will rule the world as they did in the first millennium.

The angels will rule the world for 3 ½ years of the 7 year tribulation as they ruled the world in that short period of time during the days of Noah. And that’s exactly what Jesus said: “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man” (Lk 17:26).

What were they doing? The angels that fell were “eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark”. The angels of heaven were behaving themselves as the children of

men. [5] They were indulging themselves within the time frame of their own derision, just like the children of men are doing today. They’re indulging themselves in covetousness in their own derision, living out their own madness of the imagination.

“they (have) revealed (the) eternal secrets which are performed in heaven”
the incantations and the music (particularly of the Qedussah). Now verse 7;

7 (Moreover) Semyaz, to whom you have given power to rule over his companions, co-operating, they went in unto the daughters of the people on earth;

“Moreover Semyaz”,
being the chief leader; we read about that in chapter 6;

Semyaz, to whom you have given power to rule over his companions,”
Now, remember, God assigned Semyaz this particular position. He was a chief of this order. God assigned Semyaz as a token of light to be a steward within this dimension, to teach the children of men (things like) how to sow, how to reap, how to care for cattle, and how to build). The Watchers (the angels) taught Adamites how to work with wool, how to build, how to construct. The angels assisted the Adamites with their signatures, but that wasn’t to replace covenant; the signature was given for your performance within this dimension, it was never given for the purpose of replacing faith in God.

Adam was the second angel, and he was given authority over this dimension. And God gave Adam the power to name all the creatures that were in this dimension. Adam named these creatures according to his signature, (20) but that (his signature) had nothing to do with covenant. It wasn’t (used) in rebellion against the covenant of God, but now, Adamites are using their signature against God. Just like Satan used his brightness against God.

Satan used his signature and what God gave him as a gift (in position, in brightness, in wisdom), and also the orders over which he was assigned, he used them (those things) against God. And Adamites do the same thing today.

Sinners are using their signature against God, as the angels that fell used their signature
