Sons of Gods

Luke 17:26 When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day... and as it was then, so it will be when he shall come in person, at the last day, to destroy the world." The story of the Watchers, as chronicled in the Book of Enoch and mentioned briefly in the Bible, is a myth about fallen angels. It's less-known and less often referenced than the story of the War in Heaven and the fall of Lucifer, but it's a curious story. A group of around 200 angels, called the Watchers (or Grigori, "those who are awake") come to Earth to teach humanity the arts and sciences, but they sin and are permanently banished from heaven. Chapter 69 of Enoch explains that teaching humanity heavenly mysteries is itself a transgression, like Prometheus bringing fire to humans. Similar to Prometheus, Azazel is harshly punished for teaching humanity warfare and beautification, which are described as the source of sin (and Azazel is often an evil demon in the media). There is also a long rant in chapter 69 about the angel who taught writing to humanity, and how the knowledge of writing causes humanity to sin. The disturbing implication of this is that knowledge is sinful. However, the Watchers are more famously punished for another transgression-having sex with human women. This is the part of their story mentioned in the Bible. Their half-human, half-angel children are described as bloodthirsty giants, called "Nephilim" in the Bible. In Enoch the Nephilim are pure evil and the cause of the Flood, but in the Bible they are mentioned to be "the heroes of old, men of renown." A vast majority of Classical heroes were demigods. This series tells the story of how a love between Samyaza, leader of the Watchers, and Naamah, granddaughter of Caine, led to the war between the gods, the angels, and men and caused the great flood of Noah. This story takes place between the years 400 BC and 10000 bc. Angels were cast from heaven to hell...they are now called demons....those demons came to earth and tempted Adam and Eve in the garden. They ate the apple and that was the original fall of mankind...after this man no longer communed directly with God as his presence had left the earth because of their sins...now that man was alone...demons would come up often and tempt men to further sin against God and worship false gods. Man really desired to commune with God again but they were constantly being attacked by these demons that would come up and torture mankind since God was no longer there and they had no protection. At this time, men were already great farmers and planters. they did not kill or eat meat for all life was sacred and they had no knowledge of hunting. nor did they ever even think of eating other animals. The Grigori, or the watchers, were angels made in the likeness of men so that they could blend into humanity and also protect them from the demons that would rise up to destroy them. The watchers were there to protect and then report back to heaven on what was happening on earth. they were not to tamper with God's creation or with their free will. After thousands of years, there was so much peace that they had come accustomed to not ever going back to the heavens because there was nothing to report. That's when they got comfortable and started having desires to never return but instead live forever as mankind themselves. This is the story of the Sons of Gods by Aaron L Williams.
