Enoch and Elijah

The most likely candidates for the end times two witness scenario are Enoch and Elijah, neither of whom died a physical death, but will be killed after their 42 month testimony.  They are the only humans we read of who were not laid to rest with their ancestors.

Genesis 5:21 ~
When Enoch had lived 65 years, he begot Methuselah. After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch walked with Yah 300 years; and he begot sons and daughters. All the days of Enoch came to 365 years. Enoch walked with Yahweh, then he was no more, for Yah took him.

II Kings 2:11 ~ 

As they kept on walking and talking (Elijah and Elisha), a fiery chariot with fiery horses suddenly appeared and separated them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

The Two Witnesses are described as "the two olive trees and the two menorahs which stand before Master Yahweh. They have the power to stop the rain, to turn water to blood, and to produce all plagues as often as they please. They can send fire out of their mouths and consume who ever attacks them."  And they will be giving testimony for 3-1/2 years = 42 months = 1260 days. Then the Beast that came up from the abyss will make war with them and overcome them. They will leave their bodies in the street for 3-1/2 days while folks celebrate their death. And then Yah will call them up - in that same hour an earthquake destroys part of the city and kills 7,000 people - the rest gave glory to Elohim.

I do not believe that Yah would use someone already dead to fulfill this prophecy as they must die and be 'resurrected' at that time.  Y'shua is our example of one being born, tasted death and was resurrected as the first fruits of the dead.  He now sits at the right hand of his Father. Lazarus died and was brought back to life by Y'shua.  Enoch and Elijah are not dead but were changed in form and in place.  Yah took them because He had a big plan for them to fulfill during the final 3-1/2 years of life as we know it.

1 Kings 17 ~  Elijah the Tishbite who lives in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As Yahweh Lives, the Elohim of Israel whom I serve, there will be no dew or rain except at my bidding." 

Here we read that Elijah has the power to hold back the rain as he sees fits. This is one of the many powers the two end times witnesses have.

And here is the clincher! We read at the end of Malachi:

I will send the prophet Elijah to you before the coming of the awesome, fearful day of Yahweh. He shall reconcile parents with children and children with their parents, so that, when I come, I do not strike the whole land with utter destruction. 

This sounds akin to the command to paint the doorposts and lintels with the blood of the lamb so that the Messenger of death would pass over those places. Same goes for us today who accept the shed blood of Y'shua to save us from death and spending eternity in Fire Lake. Elijah, by his testimony, will cause many to cease being enemies with one another and stop rebelling against Yah; the rest will be destroyed with those final cups of wrath.

Hebrews 11:5 ~
By faith Enoch was translated and did not taste death; and he was not found because Elohim had translated him; for, before he translated him, there was testimony of him that he pleased Elohim. But without faith, a man cannot please Elohim.

Translated defined: to bear, remove, or change from one place, state, form, or appearance to another; to convey to heaven or to a nontemporal condition without death

Neither Enoch nor Elijah have died.

And to note, we who are His Set Apart believers will be changed when that time comes to be gathered together in the clouds at the return of Y'shua.  We will be changed in form, being made incorruptible.  We shall be incapable of corruption such as no longer subject to decay or dissolution. When we enter the promised land, the earthly kingdom of Y'shua the Anointed One, our 'bodies' will be like that of the Messengers (angels):

Mark 12:25 ~

For when they rise from the dead, they do not marry women nor are women given in marriage to men. Rather, they are like the Messengers who are in heaven. (aka: incorruptible spiritual beings = translated from one form to another.)

If we read from the book of Enoch we learn that he did achieve high standing in the heavenlies to the point I sometimes think he replaced the job opening left by Satan.

Please Note: I recommend one be fully in the Word of Elohim via the study of Scriptures before using other writings such as Enoch and Jasher so that one can discern that which lines up with Scriptures.  I do not substitute anything for the Word of our Creator yet find these sources help describe possible scenarios which are only alluded to in Scriptures.  YHWH is our final word on all things.  And we know, if everything that He did and everything that Y'shua did was written down the earth wouldn't be big enough to store all those books 😉

The List - for Your further Research and Study

I will now share many of the sites I have bookmarked throughout the years that I used in my studies.  If you are searching out the Truth and desire to live by Yahweh's Instructions, these sites will be of useful insight to both sides of the story.  As you know, I do not belong to any religion as our Creator was never about division. Some of the links below use 'traditional' Christian or Jewish terminology and man made doctrine, so please overlook the religious aspects while digging out those nuggets of truth 👀 

We need to know our enemy as we make use of Yah's survival manual.

I will manage this post from time to time to insure all links still take you to the intended subject matter, but if you run across a broken link, please message me using the comment section at the end of this post.

As Always→ Scripture is the base upon which to stand while researching sources outside of 'church approved' writings. For example, understanding Hebrew idioms is very helpful in understanding the meaning of many things written of in Scriptures. Reading from Jasher fills in some time lines not written of in Scriptures, but hinted at.  Not all versions of the Bible have the proper interpretations and some are so subtle as to go unnoticed, yet are taught as 'God's gospel truth'. Whichever version of the Bible you have, read it every day and the His Spirit will reveal the truth.  Trust Yahweh and by Faith let His Set Apart Spirit give you discernment in all things.

Oh.... one more thing- I do not promote the buying from or donating to any of these sites. I do not agree with much of the advertisements found on these sites.  These links are for learning, and will help you understand the bigger picture of where we are today and how we got here.

Nephilim - Then and Now

In this study I use Scriptures, the books of Enoch and the historical accounts found in Jasher to research the topic of giants.  Many folks today refer to 'Fallen Angels' as relating to the 'alien deception' and other possible scenarios of the end times.  From what I have read so far it is the Nephilim who are a part of the signs of the end, so I figured a deeper look into these events was in order.

I'd like to note that I recommend one be fully grounded in the Word of God before using other writings such as Enoch and Jasher so that one can discern that which lines up with Scriptures.  I do not substitute anything for the Word of our Creator yet find these sources help describe scenarios which are only alluded to in Scriptures.  Yahweh is our final word on all things.

How the Nephilim Came to Be

Genesis 6 -- When men began to increase on the earth and daughters were born to them, the Divine Beings saw how beautiful they were and took wives from among those that pleased them.  It was then, and later too, that the Nephilim appeared on the earth (as a result of sexual relations between the Divine Beings and human women).  They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

From then on man's wickedness pervaded the earth and every plan devised by his mind was nothing but evil.  Yah was so saddened - He regretted that He made them. Then came the Flood.  

I understand the Nephilim being renown: the condition of being known or talked about by many people - but I never quite got how these genetic mutants could be referred to as 'heroes': someone who is admired for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities - were they cute little half-breed babies who grew up to hero status but when they didn't stop growing (upwards to 300 cubits = 450 feet!) is that when folks became intimidated by them?

The Flood swelled upon the earth and the mountains were covered, then the waters swelled another 15 cubits (another 22 and half feet above the tallest mountain). Makes sense that this much water would be needed to drown giants along with the rest of the unsaved souls.

This same event is recorded in the Books of Enoch with more detail of just how bad things had gotten.  Not only were these angels (divine beings) attracted to the human women, they desired to create progeny - descendants of mixed marriages - in other words they wanted to be like 'God'.  Satan deluded Eve with this same concept.

According to Enoch there were 200 of these angels who left their station in heaven to achieve their desires on earth.  They defiled themselves by having sexual relations with these women.  They also taught these women charms, pharmacies, root cutting and uses of plants - secret knowledge humans weren't suppose to know.  These women became pregnant and gave birth to what is called the Nephilim, who grew to 300 cubits in height. They ate every thing produced for them and when that ran out they turned against mankind and ate them.  The Nephilim sinned against birds, beasts, reptiles and fish (more genetic manipulations? crossbred mutants?) and began to eat each other's flesh and drink their blood (cannibals and vampires?).  They were lawless ones. They taught men metallurgy in the making of swords, shields, knives and breastplates as well as bracelets and ornaments.  They taught the use of antimony (A metalloid element having many forms, the most common of which is a hard, very brittle, shiny, blue-white crystal) and the use of paints and dyes, the use of make up to beautify eyes, the use of gemstones - then did all godlessness increase and everything was corrupt.

Here is where we find out those we call the 'fallen angels' are the 'Watchers' because they were made to watch the destruction of their loved one, those genetic mutants, the Nephilim.  YHWH tells Gabriel to:

"Go to the bastards and to the reprobates and to the children of fornication, and destroy them, the seed of the Watchers, from among the sons of men and send them one against one another so that they will perish by killing each other... And when they (the Watchers) have seen the destruction of their loved ones, bind them for 70 generations in the valleys of the earth until the day of their judgment and of their end..." He goes on to say, "Destroy all the lustful spirits and the seed of the Watchers for they have wronged mankind. Let all oppressors perish from the face of the earth and let every evil work be destroyed..."

Then came the Flood to cleanse the earth from all unrighteousness, from all sin, from all godlessness and from all the uncleanness which is committed on it.

Reading from Jasher we find a similar account. In the latter days of Methusalah, men were turning from God in rebellion, and corrupted the earth, robbed each other and transgressed and corrupted themselves, up to the point Yahweh thought to destroy and annihilate them.  The earth was filled with violence. The difference in Jasher is there is no mention of 'divine beings' but 'judges and rulers' who took wives by force from their husbands and that the 'sons of men' (Nephilim?) in those days took cattle, beasts and fowls and taught the mixture of animals of one species with another in order to provoke YHWH.  This could relate to what is written in Enoch about the Nephilim sinning against birds, beasts, reptiles and fish. Sin is living according to one's own imaginings, turning against the teachings of YHWH our God.  

Yah saw all flesh was corrupt, all men and all animals... and Noah found grace in His sight.

I made mention earlier that Scriptures - the Word of God - is the final authority.  I now refer to what we can read in The Forgotten Books of Eden, the story of Adam and Eve. I must say that if you can read this account with Scriptures running in the background, a lot of it makes sense.  I will only touch on what seemingly relates to the Nephilim who came on the scene during the time of Jared. Satan was the culprit in instigating snares and traps via the descendants of Cain using ravishing music, strong drink, and colorful clothing to entice the descendants of Seth to come off the mountain, away from God and into the sinful corrupt life below. This always makes me think of the 60's when 'sex, drugs and rock-n-roll' were the temptations.

In this version it is Satan who teaches Genun, the son of Lamech, to bring strong drink out of corn by which Genun multiplied sin exceedingly. He was prideful and taught others to commit all manner of the grossest wickedness that had never known before. Satan was very pleased with all this and taught Genun how to make weapons of war from iron. Sin continued to increase: a man married his own sister or daughter - there was no more a distinction of relationship... the earth became defiled with sin.  They angered God the Judge who had created them.  Satan entered into Genun and taught him to make dyes for garments of diverse patterns... Only three righteous men are left in the world.  The evil continues up until the Flood.

If the purpose of the Flood was to cleanse the earth of all wickedness, how do the Nephilim become part of the post-flood time line?

In the writings of Enoch we read: 

Yah said to Gabriel, "Go to the bastards and to the reprobates and to the children of fornication and destroy them, the seed of the Watchers... Bind the Watchers for seventy generations until the day of their judgment (when they will be taken away to the abyss of fire and torment and shut in prison forever and ever more).  

They chose to leave the high and set apart heaven and defile themselves with the blood of women, acting like men instead of Divine Beings and they begat Nephilim as their seed.  God did not appoint wives for His Spiritual Beings because they were immortal - no need to procreate. Because they were Spiritual Beings, heaven was their intended dwelling place.

The Nephilim were produced from the spirit and flesh and on earth were called 'evil spirits' and they would dwell on earth, there was no place in heaven for them.  Evil spirits proceeded from their bodies, spirits of the wicked.  The spirits of the Nephilim oppress, afflict, destroy, do battle and make destruction upon the earth. When the Nephilim were destroyed their spirits went forth from their bodies.

The angels who were defiled with women stand at the end of heaven and earth but their spirits will assume many different forms and will defile mankind and lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods.

Evil, wicked, unclean, demonic spirits do exist in this world and are passing themselves off as extraterrestrial lifeforms channeling enlightenment to anyone who will tune in. These are the 'Nephilim' of today.  Not necessarily the physical giants of old testament days but definitely beings of renown who many consider 'heroes', expecting ET to save us from ourselves.  Nephilim were genetically modified beings and as it was in the days of Noah we can see it in today's world.

To the best of my own investigation these photographs of skeletons are legit.  The Nephilim were buried in the ground during The Flood that covered the entire earth, even the highest mountain tops, and that was about 4,000 years ago.
