CHAPTER 16
[One Different Translation]
*1*. And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever their spirits depart from their bodies, let their flesh, that which is perishable, be without judgment. Thus shall they perish, until the day of the great consummation of the great world. A destruction shall take place of the Watchers and the impious.
*2*. And now to the Watchers, who have sent thee to pray for them, who in the beginning were in heaven,
*3*. Say, In heaven have you been; secret things, however, have not been manifested to you; yet have you known a reprobated mystery.
*4*. And this you have related to women in the hardness of your heart, and by that mystery have women and mankind multiplied evils upon the earth.
*5*. Say to them, Never therefore shall you obtain peace.
[Another Different Translation]
*1*. And at the death of the giants, spirits will go out and shall destroy without incurring judgment, coming from their bodies, their flesh shall be destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, and shall be wholly consummated.’
*2*. And now as to the Watchers who have sent you to intercede for them, who had been in heaven before,
*3*. (Say to them): "You were in heaven, but all the mysteries of heaven had not been revealed to you, and you knew worthless ones,
*4*. And these in the hardnese of your hearts you have made known to the women, and through these mysteries women and men work much evil on earth.
*5*. Say to them therefore: "You have no peace.”
[1 Enoch 16:1] —And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever their spirits depart from their bodies, let their flesh, that which is perishable, be without judgment. Thus shall they perish, until the day of the great consummation of the great world. A destruction shall take place of the Watchers and the impious.
"1 Enoch 16:1" — And at the death of the giants, spirits will go out and shall destroy without incurring judgment, coming from their bodies, their flesh shall be destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, and shall be wholly consummated.’
Though these words are not expressed unequivocally and their different translations not matching one another, I hereby express senses and facts from both renderings.
*✓* At the point of their death — by whatever way they die, be it by destruction, by slaughter or by natural death — Only their bodies or flesh that is perishable actually dies or perishes, but their spirits would not die but just exist their dead bodies and go on operating and destroying things on earth.
As may already know, evil spirits or unclean spirits continue to live and operate among people till these days, even though those evil spirits of the Giants have long lost their bodies or flesh when they died before or during the flood of Noah.
However, because those evil spirits or unclean spirits have no bodies as vessels, having lost their to death, they usually lost to possess and dwell inside any available bodies of men, women or even animals when convenient to them. So we have people possessed with evil/unclean spirits, and usually those spirits express themselves through the bodies of the men or women they possessed, and you such possessed men/women do greater or mightier things that they could not have normally done if they were not possessed. E.g. the possessed man that attacked and beat seven sons of Sceva, the possessed little girl that had "demonic-word-of-knowledge" called "Divination" or "Prophecy" during the days of Paul and Silas, or the madman that dwelt among the dead and buried, possessed with "Legion or Many" of the unclean spirits at once, and no one could pass that road or no physical chain could bind him long as Samson could not be bound in his full strength.
[Luke 11:20-22] — "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come on you. "When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come on him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils.""
So it takes a Stronger Man or Stronger Powers to cast out the evil or unclean spirits out of any man or woman whose body they hold as their palace or house. Yes, they are evil tenants that claims the houses (bodies) of the owners as their own, and even bind or cage the spirits-souls of the real owners within their own bodies as houses. Notice how they still refer to the body of the man/woman (they were cast away from) as "Our house" or "My house:"
[Luke 11:24-26] — "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he said, I will return to my house from where I came out. And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished. Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first."
Back to this Enoch Verse above: the next point:
*✓* After their death and their spirits released to roam about the earth, their spirits or evil spirits would be destroying things or causing damages, but will not incure Judgment for their sins or offenses — until their appointed time comes, when they shall be consumed by the destruction or consumption that would consume or destroy the whole world. That's around the end of the ages, end of time, and the Last Judgment Day.
Remember that the fathers of those evil spirits, that is, the fallen angels or watchers that married daughters of men (women) and gave birth to the giants that became the evil spirits or unclean spirits on earth — Those fallen angels were immediately judged, arrested and bound in chains under darkness in some part of hell. But unlike the ways their fathers (fallen angels) were swiftly judged and bound, the evil spirits themselves were tolerated and allowed to go on operating and doing whatever they like, without incurring instant Judgment until their appointed time, which is in the Lake of Fire or Second Death shall begin taking over.
So, the unclean spirits have their own appointed time, and no angel of God has been instructed to torment them before their time, except just to cast them out or drive them away just as the immunity/tolerance that Satan enjoys. As it is written,
[Matthew 8:28-32 GNT] — When Jesus came to the territory of Gadara on the other side of the lake, he was met by two men who came out of the burial caves there. These men had demons in them and were so fierce that no one dared travel on that road. At once they screamed, “What do you want with us, you Son of God? Have you come to punish us before the right time?” Not far away there was a large herd of pigs feeding. So the demons begged Jesus, “If you are going to drive us out, send us into that herd of pigs.” “Go,” Jesus told them; so they left and went off into the pigs. The whole herd rushed down the side of the cliff into the lake and was drowned.
Matthew's account as cited above called them "Demons" but Mark's account called them "Unclean Spirits" and even mentioned how those evil spirits also made prayer to the Son of God, Jesus Christ, asking Him not to drive them away from that country even though He would drive them out of the man. They preferred being driven away into pigs or swine than being driven away from that country or land. And the Lord Jesus Christ granted the prayers of "Evil Spirits" after having interaction with them and asking their name. [Mark 5]
[ 1 Enoch 16:2] —And now to the Watchers, who have sent thee to pray for them, who in the beginning were in heaven,
"" — And now as to the Watchers who have sent you to intercede for them, who had been in heaven before,
Behold these began by dwelling in heaven and ended up dwelling on earth; but Enoch began on earth and behold he was translated into dwelling in heaven. Some were brought down from top to bottom, and some were exalted from bottom to the top.
But that's not just the basic point here under this Enoch Verse:- God recognized that the Fallen Watchers or Fallen Angels sent Enoch to intercede for them.Enoch was both a"Messenger" of God and "Messenger" of the Fallen Watchers to God. Being exalted from earth above those fallen angels who were brought down, did not make Enoch despise them or felt he's already above them forever and would never be sent by them especially considering they have become condemned spirits or fallen angels under God's Judgment.
I have seen where self righteous people are condemning those who they felt were already under God's Judgment, and they would never help them knowing they were sinners/wicked people that deserved their Judgments.But Enoch was still serving the condemned spirits, and even going errands for those who have fallen lowest and never rise to where Enoch is exalted far above.
Between the fallen angels who were in heaven but cast down into darkness in hell beneath the earth and Enoch who was on earth but exalted far into heaven, who was now higher than the other?Enoch is.But behold, Enoch was sent by those in prison of hell under Judgment, to go to God and intercede for them.
Can a poor prisoner from his dungeon send a prince or great noble man to go to the King or Court on his behalf, and intercede for him, without paying money or gifts for that service, and the prince would travel all the way to intercede for the hopeless prisoner as Enoch did? Be kind to those who were once in your exalted position or levels but some fell from grace as the fallen angels fell from heaven where they were and yet Enoch was kind to them as being Sent by them.
The fact that Enoch stood before God on the Throne as one sent by the Sinners or Condemned Spirits did not reduce Enoch from being God's Messenger or One Sent by God. Infact, that increased God sending Enoch and using Enoch as God's Messenger.
Even so, don't feel that's only God can send you on message errands because you are a Messenger of God; but humble yourself to levels where men can also send you as their Messenger to God. Be a prophet sent by God to men and sent by men to God, or sent by God to angels/spirits and sent by angels/spirits to God, etc.
[ 1 Enoch 16:3] —Say, In heaven have you been; secret things, however, have not been manifested to you; yet have you known a reprobated mystery.
" 1 Enoch 16:3" — (Say to them): "You were in heaven, but all the mysteries of heaven had not been revealed to you, and you knew worthless ones,
Those fallen angels were like apprentices who felt they have known all the secrets in their job trades, and decided to cut away and establish their own independence in the career with just the much secrets, experience or skills, they learnt, not knowing there are far much more for them to learn. On getting out in rebellion, they crashed because they had not fully learnt.
Do not make the same mistake they made, especially at heavenly levels. There are so much mysteries or secrets of heaven that even angels are yet to know inspite of thousands of years of studying in heaven. Even the Mysteries of Salvation are yet to be fully known to the angels of heaven, who are so close to God there. And there are so much mysteries of God.
The fallen angels only knew the mysteries of iniquity or reprobates mystery, which is the mystery that the sinners or worldly people are priding themselves and corrupting themselves in. They, by the mystery of iniquity, have introduced witchcraft, sorcery, divination, corruption, apparition and imaging, cosmetics, charms, spells, production of weapons for war or destruction, craftsmanship, technologies, etc, that they brought with them into the world of men and women. Besides, even the mystery of iniquity has branches, some for the Antichrist and the other for mystery Babylon and Fornication.
Instead of the fallen angels to have grown in knowing more worthy mysteries, they foolishly learnt reprobated, worthless or forbidden, mystery. They ended up becoming as worthless as the worthless Mysteries they learnt and taught.Imagine if the secret and things you learnt and taught are determining who or what you become.
Many people in this generation are swift at learning very useless or worthless things, such as sex, trending things, worldly music that they know word for word, gossips, movies, seduction, corruption, robbery, material things, etc. But they don't know the scriptures or know God or know anything that has eternal value and endurance. Are they not advancing to becoming as useless as the things they know and promoted in the world? Do you wonder why people are faster at learning bad and evil things that are either worthless or corrupting their purity; but they are slow or dull at learning the good, righteous and eternal things?
[ 1 Enoch 16:4] —And this you have related to women in the hardness of your heart, and by that mystery have women and mankind multiplied evils upon the earth.
" 1 Enoch 16:4" — And these in the hardnese of your hearts you have made known to the women, and through these mysteries women and men work much evil on earth.
Those fallen angels rebelliously taught women and men those reprobated mysteries or secrets they knew, and thereby they corrupted women and men. Remember that was the same thing the Serpent did to the Woman in the garden, pointing or teaching her to eat of the knowledge of good and evil, by which mankind was corrupted, and sin entered into human nature. All the prostitutes and whores in the world today were once virgins and innocent until they were taught the corruption that is in the world through lust and pride. The world, the society, the media, are structured to expose the reprobated worthless mystery to the world.
Don't you wonder how almost every recent Hollywood movies today have characters of Homosexuals or gay-people, man falling in love man and woman falling in love woman, because they have already gone pass the stage of actors or characters having sex in movies without being married to sell to the minds of people that when both adults have the urge and chance they can do it and continue with their business? The devils are liars with their campaigns of seduction through the subconscious minds.
Surely, the Culture, Civilization and Freedoms of western countries, are tools of mass corruption and seduction in the hands of devils against God.
[ 1 Enoch 16:5] —Say to them, Never therefore shall you obtain peace.
" 1 Enoch 16:5" — Say to them therefore: "You have no peace.”
The replying Message of God through Enoch to the fallen angels ended with this word of God to them —"You shall never obtain Peace."
How can you find "Rest in Peace" when the evil or corruption you sowed on earth is still growing and causing damages from generations to generations? And even though because of you God had to regret making man on earth and had to destroy the earth to restart the world afresh, and yet the things you sowed or brought kept growing, multiplying and invading the living on earth.
[Isaiah 57:21] — "There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked."
