The Prophecy Page VI Continues...
By what I understand the book of Enoch is the only non-canonical book that has portions of it's scriptures transfered to today's holy Bible. This is as a tradition of the the writers of the New Testament borrowing scriptural passages from the Old Testament "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but by holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" 1 Peter 1:21.
Nevertheless, eventually those unfaithful angels whom have rebelled against the Lord will have their part in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41. Those people whom have shared in their wicked corrupt practices, and refused to repent will be destroyed, unless, they respond to God's calling to freely share in the precious gift of eternal life "for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord". Romans 6:23.
Jesus Christ already paid the penalty on the cross for those sins, and defeated satan's kingdom (Colossians 2:15), Why should we have to pay for something already paid for ? Today, the wicked one has poisoned the minds of most of the human family for Ephesians 2:1-5 reads "And you has He quickened who was dead in trepasses and sins; Wherein in times past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among whom we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, Who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together, with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)
Finally, besides the many statements Jesus made, He made two statements that I would like to focus on: The first is " Jesus answering them said, ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the ressurection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this they were astonished at His doctrine". Matthew 22:29-33. The second statement is also manifest "And Jesus answering said also to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain the world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die anymore: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to Him. Then certain scribes answering said, Master, You have well said. And after that they dare not ask Him any question at all".Luke 20:34-40. It is well known that many times Jesus used scriptural references to answer His critics. This also included satan. Matthew 4:4, 7, 10. Yet, when He said, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures..." What scripture ? Where does it reveal in scriptures how the angels are living in heaven before He made these statements ? Second, How could they know if angels are married or not, and what reasons are provided that they donot marry ? Their longevity regarding life was given as the reason. Third, the scribes responded that He has "well said", but how could they know that ? If we turn to the book of Enoch, concerning the imprisoned fallen angels it states, "I, Enoch, was blessing the great Lord and King of peace. And beheld the Watchers called me Enoch the scribe. Then the Lord said to me: Enoch scribe of righteousness, go tell the Watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station`(And the angels which kept not their first estate, but LEFT their own habitation, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgement of the great day. Jude 6.), who have been polluted with women. And done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and who have been greatly corrupted on earth; That on earth they shall never obtain peace and remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition forever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace. A great sentence is gone forth against thee; Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication, be thine, on account of the oppression which thou hast taught; And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which thou hast discovered to the children of men. Then departing from him I spoke to them altogether; And they became terrified, and trembled (Ye believe there is one God; ye do well: the devils also believe and tremble. James 1:19); Beseeching me to write a memorial of supplication; that they might obtain forgiveness; and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the God of heaven; because they could not themselves thenceforward address Him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the disgraceful offense for which they were judged...I have written your petition; and in my vision it has been shown me, that what you request will not be granted you as long as the world endures. Judgement has been passed upon you: your request will not be granted you...A vision thus appeared to me. Behold, in that vision clouds and a mist invited me; agitated stars and flashes of lightning impelled and pressed me forwards, while winds in the vision assisted my flight, accelerating my progress. They elevated me aloft to heaven. I proceeded, until I arrived at a wall built of stones of crystal. A vibrating flame surrounded it, which began to strike me with terror. Into this vibrating flame I entered...A flame burned around it's walls; and it's portal blazed with fire. When I entered it's dwelling, it was hot as fire and cold as ice. No trace of delight or life was there. Terror overwhelmed me. Violently agitated and trembling, I fell upon my face. In the vision I looked. Attentively I surveyed it, and saw that it contained an exalted throne. The appearance of which was like that of frost; while it's circumference resembled orb of the brilliant sun; and there was the voice of the cherubim. From underneath this mighty throne rivers of flaming fire issued. To look upon it was impossible. One great glory sat upon it: Whose robe was brighter than the sun, and whiter than snow. No angel was capable of penetrating to view the face of Him, the Glorious and the Effulgent; nor could any mortal behold Him. A fire was flaming around Him; so that not one of those who surrounded Him was capable of approaching Him, among the myriads of myriads who were before Him (See Daniel 7:10 and Hebrews 12:22.). To Him holy consultation was needless....And He raised me up, making me draw near even to the entrance. My eye was directed to the ground. Then addressing me, He spoke and said, Hear, neither be afraid, O righteous Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness: approach hither, and hear My voice. Go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent thee to pray for them, You ought to pray for men, and not men for you. Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, which endures forever, and have lain with women; have defiled yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring ? You being spiritual, holy, and possessing a life which is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in carnal blood; have lusted in the blood of men; and have done as those who are flesh and blood do(Some believe this is why women ought to wear a covering(Long hair/a hat) in church, since Hebrews 11:10 states, "For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels). These however perish and die. Therefore have I given to them wives, that they might cohabit with them; that sons might be born them; that they might be transacted upon earth. But you from the beginning were made spiritual, your dwelling is in heaven. Now the giants (There were giants on the earth in those days...Genesis 6:4.), who have been born of the spirit and the flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be called on earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven, but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestial spirits, who are born on earth...And this you have related to women in the hardness of you heart, and by that mystery have women and mankind multiplied evils upon the earth. Say to them, Never therefore shall you obtain peace". Enoch 12:3-7; 13:1-6; 14:2-3, 8-13, 17, 20-25; 15:1-8; 16:4-5.
Mayhaps, now all of the answers are supplied regarding the questions I originally asked. Could these be the scriptures Jesus read, in order, to respond correctly to those whom repeatedly tested Him ?
Anyway, the Bible reveals wicked spiritual powers operate thru out human society, and are the primary beings bringing together this one world government force to attempt to challenge the Lord's inevitable supremacy in heaven above and on earth beneath when He returns.
Moreover, Could it be that God's incredible plan for humanity is that we humans are to replace the 1/3 of those wicked angels whom rebelled, and sinned against our holy God ? While God Himself is clearly superior to all, concerning ressurected humans He said, "Neither can they die anymore: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God..." Luke 20:36. As for those whom are to be the neo-denizens of the Lord's kingdom the bible states, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God...ye have received the Sprit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.... For we know that the whole creation growneth and travaileth in pain together until now....waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.... For our conversation is in heaven; from where we also look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Romans 8:14-19, 22, 23; Philippians 3:20-21. Is there an audience watching and waiting for believers ? Is there ? In regards to the "earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God" Jesus said, "What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine and the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it ? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance...Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth". Luke 15:4-7; 10. So ? Now we fully realize why satan hates Christians so much, because God loved us enough to save us by grace, and with the help of God's Holy Spirit Christians are potentially strong enough to do what he, and his angels failed to do---OBEY GOD ! So that "there is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit". Romans 8:1. But satan is satan "And the dragon was angry with the woman (True Church), and went to make war with the remnant (last exact part of a greater whole) of her seed, which keep the commandments (Ten Commandments) of God, and have the testimony (New Testament/Word of God/Love/Other commandments including evangelism) of Jesus Christ". Revelation 12:17. Also, the Word of the living God has an antidote for rebellious angels, "Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world ? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters ? Know you not that we shall judge angels ? how much more things that pertain to this life ?" 1 Corinthians 6:2-3. Eventually, those wicked beings who now run amok in this life will be judged, "because He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man (Jesus Christ) Whom He has ordained; whereof He has given assurance to all men, that He has raised Him from the dead". Acts 17:31. Moreover, "Enoch the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these saying, Behold, the Lord come with ten thousands of His saints, To execute judgement upon all that are ungodly among them of their ungodly deeds, which they have ungodly committed, and of their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him". Jude 14-15. Those whom have committed their lives to the Lord are the true conquerors, because "...they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death". Revelation 12:11. Or as the Apostle Paul wrote "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord ". Romans 8:37-39. As for that rebellious kingdom currently being ruled by satan, his wicked angels, and those evil humans who follow them in rebellion against the one true God ? "But the judgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it to the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High,
