[1 Enoch 10:1, JBL] —Then said the Most High, the Great and Holy One, "Uriel, go to the son of Lamech.
[1 Enoch 10:1-2] —Then the Most High, the Great and Holy One spoke, And sent Arsayalalyur to the son of Lamech,
"Then" is both a cause for an act and a time of an act. And as a cause for an act, "Then"means "Following, Responding or Reacting"to a preceding or prevailing act, implying that acts or actions are the Times or Seasons. Hence one act done is time for another act to begin, and so on.
Activities (Acts) are Timers to themselves, and as timers activities cause the times and acts of other related or dependent activities. Hence, the "Then" that follows acts or the "Then"that is caused by acts in reactions.
In this Enoch Verse, even the One who's "theMost High, the Greatest and the Most Holy" spoke or acted at the prompt of"Then" in responding or reacting to the prayers or acts of the Archangels before Him. He then said or spoke, but it was not the then to the fallen angels' corruption and evil acts in the world; Rather it was the then to the holy and great Angels' intercession and prayers before Him. Same as when God spoke and said then, "Let there be light;" and the then was not Him reacting to the darkness and chaos in the earth, but the then of God reacting to the Spirit of God moving Him over the face of the waters.
*****God is the Most High who would speak or act upon the "Then" of things lower than Him, even the most lowly things or not so high things, before Him. Not opposed to things opposite His Highness.
*****God is the Greatest One who would speak or act upon the "Then" of little things, before Him. Not opposed to things opposite His Greatest.
*****But God is the Most Holy One, who would not speak or act upon the "Then" of unholy or evil things, but on the "Then" of holy and righteous, pure and true, things before Him. Opposed to things opposite His Holiness.
Then the Most High, the Great and Holy One, spoke and sent Uriel (Arsayalalyur)the archangel to the son of Lamech, Noah.
[1 Enoch 10:2, JBL] —Saying to him: 'Go to Noah and tell him in My Name "Hide yourself" and reveal to him the end that is approaching; that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a flood is about to come on the whole earth, and will destroy everything on it.
[1 Enoch 10:3-4] —Saying, Say to him in My Name, Conceal thyself. 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.
"Go in My Name" and prophesy, reveal or explain, to the son of Lamech, Noah, the imminent destruction and end of all things in the world by the incoming Deluge or Flood.
Not only did God put His Word in the Archangel's mouth, but He also sent the Angel to go in the Name of the Lord God to speak to a man of God. Should the man of God believe just because those words were spoken by Angel like that young man of God from Judah believed the lying old prophet at his own risk? No, but believe because the Angel bears the Word and the Name of the Lord God, and was sent by God to you. The Angel that kept Abraham back from killing Isaac for God on the altar, spoke bore both the Word and the Name of God.
"Reveal to him" or"Explain to him" means the Messenger was to equip or furnish Noah's faith with enough information (revelation) required to carry Noah along or fully disciple Noah into agreement with all he was called to do for the escape of mankind and beasts out of the coming destruction. The faith and preparation of Noah would depend on the degree at which Uriel the Messenger would explain those things to Noah and unveil his eyes to see them as they were yet to come.
[1 Enoch 10:3, JBL] —'And now instruct him as to what he must do to escape that his offspring may be preserved for all the generations of the world.
[1 Enoch 10:5] —And now teach him how he may escape, and how his seed may remain in all the earth.
Uriel, the Archangel, was to be both the Prophet and the Teacher to Noah. He was to preach, reveal, explain, and then instruct, Noah on what he must do in the way of salvation. That Angel was sent to fully disciple Noah.
Thus, the inspiration for Noah's ark came from Uriel who came in the Name of God and witnessed the Word and Warning of God to Noah.
[1 Enoch 10:4, JBL] —And again the Lord said to Raphael: "Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness and split open the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him in.
[1 Enoch 10:6] —Again the Lord said to Rapha Bind Azazyel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in Dudael, cast him in.
God gave another Archangel, Raphael, another instruction to bind the leader of the fallen angels and to cast Azazyel into both the darkness and the desert of Dudael. And to cast Azazyel into the desert of Dudael, Raphael was empowered to split open the desert and therein lies the dungeon of a leader of the fallen angels, called Azazyel. As it is written,
[Psalms 68:6] — "God sets the solitary in families: He brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a desert."
Recall that unclean spirits wandering in the desert/wilderness finds no rest there in the dry places [Luke 11:24]. So for fallen angel to be bound in Darkness and Desert of Dudael is affliction to it.
[1 Enoch 10:5, JBL] —And fill the hole by covering him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him live there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see the light.
[1 Enoch 10:7-8] —Throw upon him hurled and pointed stones, covering him with darkness; There shall he remain for ever; cover his face, that he may not see the light.
The instructions of God to Raphael was to bury Azazyel alive, and have the leader of the fallen angels buried alive in the grave within the Darkness and Desert of Dudael, living inside the grave forever under the tormenting edges of pointed rocks (stones) with sharp edges and blinding darkness without any ray of light or hope in such dark dungeon.
[1 Enoch 10:6, JBL] —And on the day of the great judgment he shall be hurled into the fire.
[1 Enoch 10:9] —And in the great day of judgment let him be cast into the fire.
God already judged Azazyel, and condemned him to the lake of fire and brimstone (second death) before the great Judgment Day comes. So Azazyel, Leader of the fallen angels, is basically "Son of Perdition:" Case closed for eternity.
You may recall Azazyel led the fallen angels to bind themselves with a curse of no return before they committed fornication.
[1 Enoch 10:7, JBL] —And heal the earth which the angels have ruined, and proclaim the healing of the earth, for I will restore the earth and heal the plague, that not all of the children of men may perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons.
[1 Enoch 10:10-11] —Restore the earth, which the angels have corrupted; and announce life to it, that I may revive it. 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.
God also Commanded Raphael to also prophesy restoration and life to the earth in the Word of God, so that God would act upon the spoken Word of prophet Raphael to heal, restore and quicken the earth back to life for the living to thrive on the surface of earth again. This word includes removing the curse that was on the ground for man's sake (Adam's sake) and establishing escape routes for mankind's remnants (escapees) in all events of mass destruction on earth, including those knowledge of mass destruction which the watchers or fallen angels taught and shared among men.
[1 Enoch 10:8, JBL] —The whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe ALL SIN.
[1 Enoch 10:12] —All the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of Azazyel. To him therefore ascribe the whole crime.
Upon Azazyel was imputed the sin of the whole world then, as the effects of his teachings and doctrines that corrupted the entire earth. Such teachers/masters shall receive greater condemnation (James 3:1) because the sins and corruptions they taught men to do, and which they did, shall be added and imputed upon such teachers/masters.
[Romans 4:8] — "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin."
By then, the earth was corrupted and God laid the whole iniquity of world upon the man of sin, Azazyel, leader of the fallen angels. But behold, we all have sinned and gone astray, and God laid the iniquity of the world upon the Son of man, Jesus Christ. As it is written,
[Isaiah 53:6] — "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
[John 1:29] :— "The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world."
[1 Enoch 10:9, JBL] —To Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication and destroy the children of fornication and the children of the Watchers. Cause them to go against one another that they may destroy each other in battle: Shorten their days.
[1 Enoch 10:13] —To Gabriel also the Lord said, Go to the biters, 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.
That happened before Gabriel was ever sent to a Virgin Mary to announce birth of a Son of virginity, Gabriel was first sent against the sons of fornication and adultery: reprobates, bastards, children of confusion or prostitution, offspring of strange women or strange men, mixt-multitude. The Archangel Gabriel was Commanded of God to set ambushment in their midst or sow in their midst discord, conflicts, wars that was to consume them by themselves, and to shorten their days (lifetime) on earth.
[Genesis 6:3] — "And 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."
[1 Enoch 10:10, JBL] — No request that (the Watchers) their fathers make of you shall be granted them on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.
[1 Enoch 10:14] —They shall all entreat thee, 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.
In shortening their days on earth, their prayer-requests for long life and prolonging life, extension of days or extra/additional years, etc, were shut down and shall not be granted even with their fathers being intercessors. And their expectations for living up to 500 years, which if a man reaches he would live eternal life, was cut off. At 120 years, they were to be cut off.
[1 Enoch 10:11-12, JBL] —And the Lord said to Michael: "Go, bind Semjaza and his team who have associated with women and have defiled themselves in all their uncleanness. When their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations under the hills of the earth, until the day of the consummation of their judgment and until the eternal judgment is accomplished.
[1 Enoch 10:15] —To Michael likewise the Lord said, Go and announce his crime to Samyaza, and to the others who are with him, who have 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.
And God sent Michael the Archangel to bind Semjaza and his team of associate fallen angels, after they would have seen their children and beloved wives or daughters of men perish before their eyes. Basically, all their children, the Giants or Nephilims, children of the fallen angels by the daughters of men, perished before their eyes together with their wives. Then they themselves, the fallen angels or watchers, were bound and incarcerated by Michael the Archangel empowered by this Word of God.
Michael was directed to bind them beneath the hills or underneath the earth, for 70 generations, signifying temporary detention before they would eventually be transferred down into "Tarturus"deep inside Hell.
[1 Enoch 10:13, JBL] — In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever.
[1 Enoch 10:16] —Then shall they be taken away into the lowest depths of the fire in torments; and in confinement shall they be shut up for ever.
At the end of the 70 generations, Semjaza and his associate fallen angels would transferred from their detention under the earth or base of the earth's hills, into the "Bottomless Pit" or "Abyss of fire and torment," precisely inTarturus, far beneath in the pit of hell. This was a different place to the desert of Dudael, where Azazyel was buried alive. And behold, they all were bound there forever in chains of darkness.
[2 Peter 2:4] — "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 to judgment;"
[1 Enoch 10:14, JBL] — Then Semjaza shall be burnt up with the condemned and they will be destroyed, having been bound together with them to the end of all generations.
[1 Enoch 10:17] —Immediately after this shall he, together with them, burn and perish; they shall be bound until the consummation of many generations.
In hell they (Semjaza and his team) shall burn, perish, and remain bound under continuous torments, till all generations end.
[1 Enoch 10:15, JBL] — Destroy all the spirits of lust and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind.
[1 Enoch 10:18] —Destroy all the souls addicted to dalliance, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.
Marked for destruction were all the souls addicted to lusts and the children of the fallen angels, for oppressions over mankind. None who was to lust or dalliance could escape the destruction, and the children of the watchers were to be destroyed, not just for their fathers but for their oppressions of humanity.
[1 Enoch 10:16, JBL] — Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end and let (the earth be planted with righteousness) the plant of righteousness and truth appear; and it shall prove a blessing the works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.
[1 Enoch 10:19-22] —Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth; Let every evil work be destroyed; The plant of righteousness and of rectitude appear, and its produce become a blessing. Righteousness and rectitude shall be for ever planted with delight.
Also marked for destruction were all evil inventions, evil works and evil things, so that by such destruction righteousness and restoration of the earth shall be accomplished. The destruction was to remove the evils and tares planted by the evil ones from the earth, and then plant the goods and wheat of righteousness and goodness in the renewed earth. The goal was to use Righteousness and Judgment to rectify or correct all errors in the earth.
[1 Enoch 10:17-18, JBL] — And then shall all the righteous survive, and shall live until they beget thousands of children, and all the days of their youth and their old age shall they complete in peace. And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness and shall be planted with trees and be full of blessing. And all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it.
[1 Enoch 10:23] —And then shall all the saints give thanks, and live until they have begotten a thousand children, while the whole period of their youth, and their sabbaths shall be completed in peace. In those days all the earth shall be cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted with trees, and filled with benediction; every tree of delight shall be planted in it.
As it is written,
So that he who blesses himself in the earth Shall bless himself in the God of truth; And he who swears in the earth Shall swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My eyes. “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying. “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for trouble; For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, And their offspring with them. “It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,” Says the Lord.
[Isaiah 65:16-25 NKJV].
[1 Enoch 10:19, JBL] — And the vine which they plant shall yield fruit in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sown, each measurement (of it) shall bear a thousand, and each measurement of olives shall yield ten presses of oil.
[1 Enoch 10:24] —In it shall vines be planted, and the vine which shall be planted in it shall yield fruit to satiety; every seed, which shall be sown in it, shall produce for one measure a thousand; and one measure of olives shall produce ten presses of oil.
There shall be abundance of harvesting of "Oil and Wine" following the planting of both Olive Trees and Vine Trees.
[1 Enoch 10:20, JBL] — You shall cleanse the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness, and all the uncleanness that is brought on the earth you shall destroy from off the earth.
[1 Enoch 10:25] —Purify the earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all crime, from all impiety, and from all the pollution which is committed upon it. Exterminate them from the earth.
For the earth to become paradise, the earth must become purified and cleansed. Though Michael be tasked with cleansing the earth from all oppression, defilement, unrighteousness, sin, pollution, godlessness, and all the uncleanness that were brought upon it, yet Michael would need One higher and greater than him to fulfill the cleansing and perfection of the earth, and the earth must first be the Kingdom of that Higher and Greater One, called the Son of man. As it is written,
[Matthew 13:41-43] — "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear."
Didn't Michael cleansed the earth in the days of Noah, and removed the curse in the ground and rid off the sinners therein, so that Noah's vine yieded abundance of harvesting in wine? Why were there yet curses, sin, iniquity, sinners, shortage of days, etc, in the earth afterwards.
[1 Enoch 10:21, JBL] — All the children of men shall become righteous, and all nations shall offer adoration and shall praise Me,
[1 Enoch 10:26] —Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations shall pay Me divine honours, and bless Me; and all shall adore Me.
A time is coming to stay forever, when every living human being on earth in any nation shall be called "Righteous" or "Holy." In those days, being alive on earth means one is both righteous and holy to God, for no sinner and defiled person will be able to survive or live on earth by then. As it is written,
[Isaiah 4:3-4 NKJV] — And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,
Then all will know truly righteousness is life, but sin is death. Again, it is written,
[Isaiah 60:21-22 NKJV] — Also your people shall all be righteous; They shall inherit the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
[I Peter 2:9-10 NKJV] — But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
[1 Enoch 10:22, JBL] — And all shall worship Me. And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send another flood from this generation to all generations and for ever.
[1 Enoch 10:27] —The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will l again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.
The Earth shall be cleansed and purified, and then all worship to God on any part of the earth shall be counted as a worship to God on a holy ground, cleansed ground or pure ground of truth. There shall be no more sin, corruption, crime, defilement, punishment or suffering, on earth. Suffering on earth is part of the uncleanness on earth, which shall be cleansed.
