I hope everyone has a wonderful day, and today I’d want to talk with you about the secrets of the creatures that keep an eye on us. Let us embark on this adventure to find out who and what they are. Angels are supernatural beings created by God to serve His purposes. The Bible indicates that angels existed before the foundation of the earth. As divine creations, their primary purpose is to serve and glorify God. Unlike humans.
Their creation predates humanity, as evidenced (by Job 38:4–7), where the “morning stars sang together” and the “sons of God shouted for joy” during the formation of the Earth. Unlike humans, angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14), immortal, and do not marry (Matthew 22:30).
Angels are organized into ranks or choirs, reflecting their roles and strengths. The Bible and various traditions identify several categories:
Archangels: powerful leaders among angels, such as Michael (Jude 1:9, Revelation 12:7) and Gabriel (Luke 1:19, 26). Cherubim: Guardians of divine mysteries and the throne of God (Genesis 3:24, Ezekiel 10:1-22). Seraphim: Angels of worship, who proclaim God’s holiness (Isaiah 6:2-3). Principalities, Powers, Thrones, and Dominions: Referenced in (Colossians 1:16 and Ephesians 6:12), these terms describe various levels of angelic authority.
In Heaven: Angels worship God continually (Revelation 4:8-11), serve His commands (Psalm 103:20), and uphold His holiness. On Earth: They are messengers (Luke 1:26-38), protectors (Psalm 91:11-12), and executors of divine justice (2 Kings 19:35). While angels primarily serve and glorify God in heaven (Isaiah 6:3). (Revelation 5:11–12), they also play significant roles on Earth.
They act as God’s messengers, as seen when Gabriel announced the births of John the Baptist (Luke 1:11-20) and Jesus Christ (Luke 1:26-38). Angels are also protectors (Psalm 91:11–12), which assures believers of their guarding presence. Additionally, they execute divine judgment, as in (2 Kings 19:35), where one angel struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers.
The Rebellion of the Devil and His Angels:
1. The Fall of Lucifer:
Lucifer, also called Satan, was originally a high-ranking angel, likely a cherub, as suggested by (Ezekiel 28:12–17). His fall was caused by pride and a desire to ascend above God (Isaiah 14:12–15). (Revelation 12:7-9), describes how Michael and his angels fought against Lucifer and his followers, resulting in their expulsion from heaven.
2. The Fallen Angels on Earth:
These rebellious angels, led by Satan, became demons. (Genesis 6:1-4), introduces the enigmatic “sons of God,” interpreted by some as fallen angels who descended to Earth, took human wives, and produced the Nephilim, described as giants or mighty men. This incident is linked to the descent of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch.
The Book of Enoch and the Watchers:
1. The Descent of the Watchers:
The Book of Enoch, a non-canonical Jewish text, elaborates on the Genesis 6 account. It describes 200 angels, called Watchers, led by Samyaza (their chief) and Azazel, who descended to Mount Hermon. They taught humanity forbidden knowledge, such as weapon-making and sorcery, and fathered the Nephilim. Enoch 6:1-8 parallels Genesis 6, emphasizing the corruption caused by these angels.
The term “Watchers” comes from the Book of Enoch and refers to angels assigned to observe humanity. However, Enoch 6-10 describes how some Watchers, led by Samyaza, rebelled by taking human wives and teaching forbidden knowledge, such as metallurgy and enchantments. Their offspring, the Nephilim, were described as giants, mighty, and corrupt. This act of rebellion mirrored Lucifer’s prideful fall, corrupting creation and hastening divine judgment through the Flood (Genesis 6:1–7).
2. Judgment of the Watchers:
According to Enoch 10:4–8, God sent angels like Michael, Raphael, and Uriel to punish the Watchers. Azazel was bound in the desert, and the Nephilim were destroyed in the flood. This aligns with (Jude 1:6) and (2 Peter 2:4), which speak of angels bound in chains for their disobedience.
The expanded Judgment of the Watchers:
The Watchers’ Rebellion:
The Watchers, a group of 200 angels led by Samyaza and Azazel, descended from heaven to Mount Hermon, as described in Enoch 6:1–8. Their purpose was originally to observe humanity, but they defied God by taking human wives and fathering the Nephilim, described as giants and mighty beings (Genesis 6:4). These fallen angels also shared forbidden knowledge, teaching humans weapon-making, sorcery, and other arts that led to widespread corruption.
God’s Response:
God saw the chaos brought about by the Watchers and their offspring. In Enoch 10:4-8, He issued a judgment against them:
- Azazel’s Binding: Archangel Raphael was commanded to bind Azazel in the wilderness and cover him with jagged stones. Azazel was left in darkness until the final judgment, where he would be cast into fire.
- Samyaza and the Watchers: God instructed Michael to bind Samyaza and the other rebellious angels. They were confined in a deep abyss, a place of torment often referred to as Tartarus (2 Peter 2:4). There, they remain imprisoned, awaiting the day of judgment.
- The Flood: The Nephilim, being hybrid beings, further corrupted humanity. To cleanse the Earth, God sent the Flood (Genesis 6:11–13), wiping out the Nephilim and the sinful humans they influenced.
Eternal Chains of Darkness:
The New Testament references this judgment, affirming the fate of the Watchers. (Jude 1:6) says, “And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day.” Similarly, (2 Peter 2:4) confirms their confinement in “chains of darkness.”
Their Future Judgment:
The ultimate fate of the Watchers, like that of Satan and all fallen beings, is described in (Revelation 20:10). They will be cast into the lake of fire, a place of eternal torment, as part of God’s final judgment against evil.
Symbolism and Impact:
The story of the Watchers underscores themes of divine justice and the sanctity of God’s creation. By rebelling against their divine mandate, the Watchers became symbols of pride and corruption, contrasting with the obedient angels who continue to serve God’s will.
Satan’s ongoing role and final judgment:
1) Satan’s Activities:
The Devil continues to act as the adversary of God and humanity:
Tempter: He tempted Eve (Genesis 3:1–5) and Jesus (Matthew 4:1–11).
Accuser: Satan accuses believers before God (Revelation 12:10).
Deceiver: He blinds the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Final Judgment:
Revelation 20:10 prophesies Satan’s ultimate fate: eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
