Once again Elizabeth Clare Prophet, author of
The Lost Years of Jesus,
challenges timeworn doctrine by shedding light on forgotten manuscripts. This time she examines the Book of Enoch, a text attributed to the great-grandfather of Noah—a man who Genesis says “walked with God” and “was not, for God took him.”

The Book of Enoch reveals that God allowed Enoch to return to earth to give his children certain secrets. But the book was left out of the Bible. Why?

Was it to conceal Enoch’s warning about the Watchers, fallen angels who took on human bodies and, because of their crimes against mankind, were doomed to remain on earth “as long as the world endures”?

If the fallen angels incarnated once, why not again—and again? Elizabeth Clare Prophet sets forth her bold thesis that the fallen angels Enoch warned about
have reincarnated today.
And that they are still wreaking havoc—starting wars, polluting the environment, manipulating economies, and spoiling the dreams of God and man.

TO THE CHILDREN OF ENOCH

ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

And now, my children, lay thought on your hearts, mark well the words of your father, which are all come to you from the Lord’s lips.

Take these books of your father’s handwriting and read them.

For the books are many, and in them you will learn all the Lord’s works, all that has been from the beginning of creation, and will be till the end of time....

... Distribute the books to your children, into all your generations, and amongst the nations who shall have the sense to fear God, let them receive them, and may they come to love them more than any food or earthly sweets, and read them and apply themselves to them.

And those who understand not the Lord, who fear not God, who accept not, but reject, who do not receive them, a terrible judgement awaits these.

Enoch to his children
The Book of the Secrets of Enoch

With the incredibly fast pace of modern life, most of us don’t take a lot of time to think about angels. But it was not always so. Back in the fourth century, for instance, when the warring Visigoths stormed the Roman Empire, when civil disorder and social corruption reached an all-time high, when a regulated economy triggered double-digit inflation—people were thinking about angels.

And it was more than quaint musings about how many angels could fit on the head of a pin. No, they were asking questions that had serious and far-reaching ramifications.

The hottest debate revolved around a single crucial issue: Were angels ever transformed into flesh-and-blood beings in order to perform earthly deeds? Though most of the debate seems to have escaped history’s chronicling pen, we can, and should, reconstruct a few of its questions—for reasons that will soon become clear.

If angels ever did become fleshly beings that looked like ordinary men, what would they be like? How would you pick one out from among your neighbors? Would he be extra good, a sweet cherub of a person? Or extra evil, one of those fiendish fallen angels?

Regarding the latter, what began as a casual curiosity of the cloth has taken on the cloak of a Sherlock Holmes detective story, a probe into ancient cosmological history through fragmentary documents that piece together the missing links of much more than a mere theological dissertation on the nature and origin of evil.

I believe that my investigations, though by no means complete, uncover in the Book of Enoch, the texts of Origen, and related Scripture and apocrypha (not excluding mythological texts and ancient artifacts) the key to certain historical facts concerning the evolution of men and angels on this and other systems of worlds. I believe that these facts have been concealed from the children of the Light for thousands of years by deliberate design and that, once exposed and acted upon by dedicated hearts, they will be the essential ingredient in the turning of worlds toward a new age of peace and enlightenment.

Although the scope of this introduction does not permit the full presentation of the facts at hand, it does afford me the opportunity to begin to unravel the forbidden mysteries of Enoch concerning the true nature of the fallen angels known as the
Watchers
. Enoch passed on these mysteries to his sons and their households to preserve for a far-distant generation.

Based on convincing evidence from a number of sources, our thesis confirms the Book of Enoch—that there are indeed fallen angels, that they have embodied on earth and corrupted the souls of her people, and that they will be judged by the Elect One in the day of the coming of his elect servants. Our thesis must also by force of logic put forth the corollary that these fallen ones (together with the progeny of the
Nephilim
who were cast out of heaven by Michael the Archangel) have continued to embody on earth without interruption for at least half a million years.
