I'm a fairly rational individual. I consider myself open-minded. I research obsessively, and tend to accumulate a great deal of information. I believe the Bible is the Word of God, interpreted and translated by humans. I believe things were left out of the Bible, deliberately and for a purpose. I have one friend I can discuss these topics with, who won't look at me as if I have lost my mind. What's this to do with Enoch, Noah, etc? Quite simply put, I believe then is now. We're there.
We don't really know what it was like in Noah's time. The images one conjures up are sand dunes, camels and ox-carts, mud huts, and open fires.
Enoch was a favorite of God, the same as Elijah. Enoch apparently did not die, just as Elijah did not die. God also gave Enoch a guided tour of Heaven, from one end to the other, and let him in on things that were going to happen later. According to the translations, Enoch met Christ in Heaven.
The Son's of God, led by someone called Azazel, were very active in Enoch's time, in direct violation of God's directives. They were mating with the daughter's of man, creating giants, they were teaching man things God wasn't ready for man to know, including abortion, reading and writing, and magic. They were already in trouble with God, they knew it and then proceeded to do one more thing that really sent God into a rage. The Rebel Angels asked Enoch to petition God on their behalf. I have taken liberties with the dialect, but here is what I think God told Enoch: "YOu go back and tell them this: I brought your sorry butts into existence to look after man, not the other way around; you went down there and had some fun with the women, after I expressly told you not to, you're teaching them things I don't want them to know, after I expressly told you not to; you left the best place in the universe to live down there, so you can just stay and I'll deal with your sorry butts in My own god time. By the way, don't bother trying to come home, because I just blew one into a million pieces and made the other one a wasteland." Then God instructs each of His Archangels to grab the leaders of the rebellion and bind the first one hand and foot and cover him with sharp and jagged rocks and block out all light. At the day of Judgement he gets thrown into the fiery abyss. God gave him full responsibility for the rebellion. In referring to Azazel God says "to him ascribe all sin." The second leader gets to watch his sons kill each other and then gets bound for 70 generations, and then gets thrown into the pit. Gabriel gets to go kill all the offspring of the rebels, "Destroy the Children of the Watchers from amongst men... send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle; for length of days shall they not have. And no petition will be granted"
This is exciting stuff...seriously. God is ordering the destruction of a generation of hybrid?? beings? He's digging holes in the desert (Dudael) and burying angels. He grabs the second in command of the rebel forces and ties him up along with the rest of the rebels and stuffs them in the valleys of the earth for 70 generations.
No wonder the liberals think I'm nuts. If I didn't believe this stuff, I'd think I was nuts too. This better than Hollywood.
I don't think you need to be nearly so concerned here with God as you should be with ZOT.
Actually, I believe that it was the fallen angels that were ejected from heaven with Lucifer who were messing around with the human women and creating a race of giant beings whose aim it was to enslave all of mankind. And I do believe that the giants were introducing man to all sorts of evil concepts and technology that they were nor ready for. This is what I attribute the stories of Atlantis to.
God decided that wasn't going to fly and destroyed all the wicked and hybrid people but it is also surmised that one of Noah's daughters-in-law had some hybrid genes thus the stories of giants in Canaan and the existance of Goliath.
The dinosaurs were simply unable to live on earth after the flood because of the massive climate changes.
Where pray tell did you dig all this up? Or is this just "your"translation of some obscure verses in the Old Testament?
You can call their embassy in Washington, but even if possible it won't be cheap. How about an albino Eskimo transvestite?:)

Make him a midget too, and you've got a deal!
ZOT is an an omnipotent being who can - and does - descend whenever it feels like it on a useless vanity thread and that sucker is toast. Doesn't always happen though, which makes it interesting for the betting types. Here's a preview of ZOT:
They don't call it apocryphal for nothin'...
The what?????
Hey, I was on vacation part of August and part of October. Did I miss a joke? If I did and you tell me, you can call on me later, cuz I've been here a long time.:)

Oh those rascally preterists.....
That kind of looks like a thrilled Janet Reno 50 years ago (Maalox!).
LOL!
This is such fun.
By the time the ACLU get through the litigation so Noah brings on board two gay elephants, giraffes, ants, mosquitoes, doves etc...the damn ark will be sunk!
