Someone out there always seems to have an agenda and rarely can they just enjoy something bigger than themselves. Something that has survived millenia to tell it's story and give us a glimpse of ourselves and what Jesus may have meant when he said "As in the days of Noah".

In this case the 'agenda' is easily discerned; the book of Enoch is clear and specific on who and what the Nephilim were, and the modernists will not accept the very idea that the demons are the spirits of half human, half cherub beings. In fact, some try to deny the existance of demons at all.

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed. Much of the resistance to Enoch from the beginning had to do with the demonology. Oddly, the description of the angelic orders may also be the reason it has become popular among the "new age" philosophies.

Demonology is the reason why I first became interested in this book. The bible never does explain where these unclean spirits come from.

My opinion of Enoch's explanation. God has deemed it necessary that in order to communicate on this earth one needs a physical body. This is why those spirits seek possession. To have their spirits co-inhabiting with the spirit to whom the body belongs. This is why angels took on the "appearance of" a man when coming to earth to communicate God's messages.

One thing that I caught onto particularly was that the "base" if you will of an angel was a child of the heavens, and the "base" of a human was a child of Adam which was what he was called because he was made from the ground. This mixing of bases could be what is considered unclean or out of the order of God.

In Enoch angels were told they were not given female companions to reproduce with because they were eternal and would never face death regardless. This may be why the offspring of the watchers physically died yet continued spiritually being bound to roam the earth. Basically, they were never meant to exist. Their punishment is their existence in a state of limbo belonging nowhere.
