The Books of Enoch Quotes

“Both men and angels were given the highest gift in the universe, that of free will. We have the power of choice. Evil resides within the problem of choice. It is free will that convicts us.

“Angels were actually “messengers.” “Angel” is transliteration of the Greek word, and not a translation. To “transliterate” (noun, “transliteration”) means to put the Greek letters into English letters. “Angels” is the transliteration but the meaning is “messengers.” The Hebrew word for “angel” actually means one dispatched as a deputy. The word occurs for an ordinary messenger as well as a supernatural messenger. (3)”

Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.

And the rain shall be kept back, and heaven shall withhold it. 3 And in those times the fruits of the earth shall be backward, and shall not grow in their time, and the fruits of the trees shall be withheld in their time. 4 And the moon shall alter her customs, and not appear at her time. 5 And in those days the sun shall be seen and he shall journey in the evening on the extremity of the great chariot in the west and shall shine more brightly than accords with the order of light. 6 And many rulers of the stars shall transgress their customary order. And these shall alter their orbits and tasks, and not appear at the seasons prescribed to them. 7 And the whole order of the stars shall be concealed from the sinners, and the thoughts of those on the earth shall err concerning them, and they shall be altered from all their ways, they shall err and take them to be gods.”
