So many angels in the Bible and other canon ...WHAT DOES GOD WANT US TO KNOW

Ok this one is going to be long as there is alot of information to go over. ITS A BIG BOOK ;)

Lets start with the book of Genesis and the story of Adam and Eve. It's very important to remember that in the time of Adam and Eve things were very different. They could speak to God directly and would have held Sabbath with him to learn Gods ways. Im jealous ;) They could see angels at this time and they were probably not restricted to the 3 dimensional world as we are now.

In the Garden of Eden, Satan deceives Eve and before God punishes Adam and Eve for the disobedience, God makes a stunning prophecy. He tells Satan that he will die by the seed of a woman.Gen 3:15 "And I will put emnity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." It is at this point that Satan becomes aware of a coming Messiah. Determined to stop the coming of Gods only begotten son, Satan and the angels that fell with him attempt to pollute the bloodline through human women which we will look at further a little lower down.

A little later in the Book of  Genesis it mentions how Adam and Eve were able to see the flaming sword at first Genesis 3:24"So he drove out the man: and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life" but we can't see it now; so it diminished over time until access to that dimension was no longer open to us. Part of the banishment from Eden also included being separated from God including having to work our own fields for food, and childbirth now involving pain as a reminder for our disobedience. Remember the plan of salvation will restore mans separation from God. 

Angels are one of the primary sources whereby God communicates with us.  God used angels in the biblical text to foretell some important births.
Genesis 16:7 Hagar was visited by an angel and he foretells of a birth of a son "And the angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur" The angel tells her that she will call his name Ischmael.
Judges Chapter 13 An angel appears to Manoahs wife and then to Manoah himself to foretell of his son Samsons birth.
It speaks of angels foretelling two more births again in the New Testament as seen in
Luke1:11-13 John the Baptists birth was predicted by an angel of the Lord "But the angel said unto him Fear not Zacharias: for they prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call him John."
 The last birth ever announced by the angels was Jesus Christ of Nazareth in  Luke 1:26 "And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth" to talk to Mary.

One angel came to Mary and one came to Joseph Matthew 1:20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream saying Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost"    MANY angels were present at Jesus's birth. SO many that they had to do it in degrees to adjust the light for the shepherds so they werent blinded.
As seen with Joseph, God speaks to us through angels and angels speak to us through our dreams. Daniel 10:7-15 explains Daniels vision given by angels

We know from reading scripture that there are millions and millions of angels but the only two angels mentioned by name in the bible are Michael and Gabriel.  Jude 1:9 is an example of scripture naming Michael "Yet Michael the anchangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said the Lord rebuke thee." and Michaels name is seen again in Revelation 12:7-8 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and angels and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."

Angels are mentioned all throughout the bible and list some very specific characteristics as well:
Great in power and might 2Peter 2:11
They have feelings Luke 15:10,
They guard and protect us Matthew 18:10 "their angels"
They are always record keeping and are witnesses to everything that happens. Psalms 91:11-12.
They confess our name before God in Job 1:8
Angels are large in size 1Kings 6:26 ....10 cubits would equate to 15 ft tall
One can't forget the angels mentioned all throughout the Book of Revelation who will usher in the Trumpet judgements and will release the Vial judgements upon the earth.
An angel visited Abraham.
In the Book of Acts,  Peter is asleep between two soldiers and an angel walks through the wall and tells him to follow him. All the guards are asleep at the time. He is able to escape imprisonment.
If you read the entire Book of Jude which is a single page you will notice the entire book speaks of angels and mentions Enochs name as well.

That brings me to the Book of Enoch. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews apart from Beta Israel. It is however regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church but no other Christian denominations.
However; one needs to be aware that this book is no longer in the Holy Bible but it USED TO BE before it was REMOVED.
That changed alot for me and it was at that time that I researched it a little further.  I have not read the entire book but what I have read and researched has me quite interested. I am in simply in search of the truth. I always compare any information with  biblical text and if it refutes the bible I know then that it is not accurate because the Bible contains no flaws or errors.

With that said it must be noted that Enoch is mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." and is mentioned in the book of Jude 1:14-15 "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, say, Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints to execute judgement upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him" The book of Enoch consists of 5 major sections. The Book of Watchers, The Book of Parables of Enoch, The Astronomical book, the Book of Dream Visions and the Epistle of Enoch.  Another book was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and that is the Book of Giants. It is argued that it should be part of the the 1Book of Enoch after the book of Watchers but that is not widely accepted.

The book of Watchers start out with the interaction between fallen angels and mankind. Semyaza,a fallen angel mentioned by name compells the other 199 fallen angels to take human wives to "beget us children"
Fallen angels are mentioned in the Biblical story of Genesis as well we must note. It explains the coming down and  mating with human women creating the mixed breed of offspring called Nephelim. Genesis 6:4 "There were giants in the earth in those days and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown"
Described as "nephelim" or "giants" depending on your version of Genesis in the Holy Bible and Anakim(Anak/giants) as described in the Book of Watchers in Enoch. "And they became pregnant and they bare great giants whose height was 3000 ells. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. They began to sin against birds, and beasts and reptiles and fish and to devour one anothers flesh and drink the blood" Seems very similar

In Enoch it also talks of the Divine judgement on earth by way of a flood. It speaks of  ridding the earth of the fallen angels and of sin. Enoch goes into graphic detail of the fallen angels mating with human women and devouring humankind, some being described as blood thirsty and violent.  It speaks of how the fallen angels taught humans weapons of war mainly the fallen angel named Azazel. "and Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and  shields and breastplates and make known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments and... the beautifying of eyelids and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. And these arose much godlessness and they committed fornication and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways. " It names some of the fallen angels and their teachings. Semyaza taught enchantments and root cuttings, Amaros the resolving of enchantments, Barqijal taught astrology, Kokabel taught constellations.

It speaks of a story where 4 angels are named; Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel appeal to God to judge the inhabitants of the world and the fallen angels. God sees favour in Noah and sends Uriel to tell Noah of the coming destruction and what he needed to do.  He gives the angels permission to bind Azazel, one of the lead fallen angels and to cast him into a pit. Azazel pleads with the angels to take his case for clemency to God but is denied.  God commands Raphael to imprison Azazel. "Bind Azazel hand and foot and cast him into the darkness and make an opening in the desert which Dudael(Gods kettle cauldron) and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks and cover him with darkness and let him abide there forever and cover his face that he may not see light and on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire and heal the earth which the angels have corrupted... God gives Gabriel instructions concerning the Nephelim and the imprisonment of the fallen angels "And to Gabriel said the Lord:proceed against the biters and the reprobates and against the children of fornication and destroy the chidren of fornication and the children of the watchers from amongst men(and cause them to go forth) send them against one another that they may destroy each other in battle" and then the Lord commands Michael to bind the fallen angels "And the Lord said unto Michael "Go bind Semyaza and his associates who have united themselves with woman so has to defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness...bind them fast for 70 generations in the valley of the earth til the day of their judgement...in those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined forever."
Now if you refer back to the Holy bible it mentions in the book of Revelation 9:11-16 that the 4 angels will be loosed "...Loose the 4 angels bound at the River Euphrates."  Are these the angels he is referring to?
Enoch was popular doctrine but has fallen out of favour with majority of denominations.
Note** 70 generations helps us to figure out Gods timeline..and gives us more information involving the truth....could be part of reason it was removed?

Questions that one is left with in Genesis,  appear to have the missing pieces filled in with the Book of  Enoch.
2Peter 2:4 "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly" and Jude 1:6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day."
 
Whats even more interesting is that other ancient cultures like the Sumerians also had similar past records which help to prove, not hinder the Biblical stories and the Book of Enoch.  The Sumerians apparently had the first writings, the first school systems and they claimed that they were taught civilizations by beings who came from the heavens. They also had pictures of our solar system revolving around the sun but they have an extra planet in their orbit. Sumerians claim that Adam was made by genetic modification techniques which was successful in causing the creation story to be questioned.... until you realize that the Sumerians were talking to Fallen Angels meant to deceive humans from the truth of Gods word and instill doubt into the absolutely true story of Creation.

The Mayans claim a God by the name of Kublakan visited them from the stars and told them he would return. According to mayan record Kublakan had blond hair  and very blue blue eyes. After his departure they built observations, and followed the stars and the planets obediently waiting for his return.

The Book of Genesis is actually being manipulated today to initiate people into the New Age Religion which when researched is actually the Luceriferian religion, by using the story of Adam and Eve and putting a pretty elaborate spin on it. This religion uses the fact that Satan(in the form of the serpent) gives Eve the secret knowledge and evils, that God didnt want us to know, and teaches that with this knowledge we ourselves could become Gods by tapping into it. This religion also believes in reincarnation and that sin doesn't exist -both which are outright lies as proven in biblical scripture. The idea of Sun worship not Son worship is big in the new age religion. They also claim that there was a time for Jesus Christ but that that time has past. They teach we are entering a new era the Age of Aquarius and exiting the Age of the Fish.

Remember the Bible speaks more of demons, satan and hell than He does Heaven. 2Thessalonians 2:10-12 shows us that God promises that a great delusion will occur at the time of the end because we have rejected his message of creation, redemption and crucifixion. "And with all the decievableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie; That they might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness"Dont be fooled! There are no such things as aliens from outer space. The bible does not mention aliens as we have been told aliens are. They are fallen angels or what is referred to as demons after 'the fall'.  They may be able to transform into different beings but they are not what everyone has been tricked to believe they are.

Dont be one of the ones deceived! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Hope this helps God bless you!!
