Cause them to go against one another that they may destroy each other in battle: Shorten their days.

And the winds in the vision caused me to fly and lifted me up, and bore me into heaven. And I went in until I drew near to a wall which was built out of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire, and it began to frighten me.   10 I went into the tongues of fire and drew near a large house which was built of crystals: and the walls of the house were like a mosaic of hailstones and the floor was made of crystals like snow.

In verse one we read that God (Elohiym) is standing in the congregation of the mighty; that He ("El" or God) is judging (Shaphat: governing) the gods (elohiym). One way to easily understand this is to look at a supreme God (capital “G”) judging and governing a group of “godlings.”

To stand in a court setting and judge indicates there was some transgression. This adds weight to the fact that some angels committed transgressions while others did not. Thus, it is this verse that points to the fall of some angels and the judgment handed down. It also articulates the position of angels as gods. It is assumed the point of view is that of men and not God. In our mythology we see some “gods” were evil and violent, while other “gods” were kind and gentle. There were giants, Cyclops, monsters, and those, such as Hercules, Achilles who fought alongside men. These could be various ...more

10 For men were not created for the purpose of confirming their good faith with pen and ink. (Author’s note: Reading and writing are considered grievous sins because they allow knowledge, and thus sin, to be propagated from generation to generation.  It should be pointed out that God himself wrote the Ten Commandments on stone. It is possible that this verse may refer to the Enochian alphabet, thought to convey the original teachings of the fallen angels.

In 1582, Dee teamed up with the seer Edward Kelley, although Dee had used several other seers previously. With Kelley's help as a scryer, Dee set out to establish lasting contact with the angels, which resulted, among other things, in the reception of the Enochian or Angelical language.   According to Dee's journals, Angelical was supposed to have been the language God used to create the world, and which was later used by Adam to speak with God ...more
