     In the revered book of Enoch, there is a story about a rebellion in heaven, where angels who had fallen from grace started revealing secrets to mankind. These divine beings, once glorious in heaven, were forcefully expelled to the deepest parts of the endless space, tainted by slight suspicion about the first human, Adam. This ancient event marked the fall of these deities and their subsequent struggle against heaven, leading to significant consequences for all of humanity.

     As they traversed the land, they brought with them forbidden wisdom. They shared with humans the sinister sorcery of their realm, and before long, their teachings would unleash a deeply corrupting force within human society. From the highest echelons to the lowest levels of human existence, this malevolent influence spread. Their corruption extended beyond earthly matters and extended to their alliance with Lilith, the enchantress known as "the sinner", whose allure and grace even ensnared some of the most courageous souls.

     In the Book of Enoch, these beings are known as "watchers" and are responsible for monitoring human affairs. However, when they observed Adam's behavior towards sin, they were shocked by their duty and started to doubt God's intentions. This doubt ultimately led to their downfall, as they were cast down to the earthly realms and now face eternal punishment.

     They arrived with a collection of forbidden knowledge that would allow them to significantly impact humanity. The rebellious individuals instructed humans in the use of spells and sinister ceremonies to summon harmful spirits and wield powerful magic. They revealed to mankind the hidden methods of alchemy, astrology, and divination, all of which served to advance their malevolent plans.

     Their actions led to extremely serious consequences, which is ironic. Humanity, which was once pure and innocent, descended into darkness and corruption shortly afterward. Wars and conflicts erupted over land, tearing society apart. The earth was filled with chaos and destruction, as if it had been forsaken by the gods.

     Azazel, a fallen angel and one of the Watchers, was among the 200 leaders who instructed humanity in the arts of war and metalworking.God viewed Azazel's transgression as a rebellion and chose not to forgive him, instead expelling him from heaven. Azazel was commanded to descend to earth, where he was forced to live among mankind.

     While the Book of Enoch also states that Azazel was thrown into a fiery pit and would suffer in flames from that point on. Alternatively, some believe that Azazel is not a fallen angel but rather a manifestation of Satan in earthly form.

     The fallen angels' most significant transgression was associating with Lilith, a being whose beauty and sensuality were unmatched. She is known as "the sinner," a reflection of her status. According to reports, God created Lilith to be as good as Adam, but she declined to be Adam's wife. After fleeing from Adam, they sought shelter in the desert.

     Lilith was the one who would lead the corruption of the fallen angels. She was seen as a kindred spirit, an equal in terms of rebellion and defiance. Together, they would plot against humanity, using their combined powers to wreak havoc and devastation upon them.

     Enoch described Lilith in this book as a seductive entity capable of captivating even the strongest will with her beauty. She was irresistible and alluring, able to entice even the most moral individuals. It was reported that she could manifest in various guises, ranging from a beautiful young woman to a frightening demon.

     An alliance with Lilith and the fallen angels could have disastrous effects on humankind. Their goal would be to overthrow God's plan and establish a new world in its place. Using their combined abilities, they would manipulate and mislead humankind, leading them further down the dark path of sin and ruin.

     Azazel and Lilith crossed paths on earth and developed a romantic relationship. As a result of their union, they bore offspring, including the formidable giants known as Nephilim. These beings were said to possess immense size, wickedness, and strength, causing fear and concern among the populace. Goliath was actually one of the Nephilim the was mentioned in the bible.

In the Book of Enoch, it is mentioned that the Nephilim were a race of giants resulting from the union of fallen angels and human women. These mighty beings possessed immense strength, extraordinary abilities in warfare, and a malevolent nature that caused great devastation and disorder on earth. Serving under Azazel, they constituted the obedient military force of the fallen angel, carrying out his wishes and participating in the rebellion against the God of heaven. Not all Nephilim, however, remained loyal to their monstrous progenitors; a significant number defied them and covertly married human women, worsening the corruption. God responded by cursing the wicked Nephilim and sending a flood to eradicate them. Noah, a righteous man, was spared to repopulate the earth.

     The tale of the fallen angels encompasses numerous generations and lands, representing a significant period of time. It delves into the depths of human nature and uncovers our deepest fears and longings. It serves as a reminder that we are not solitary in this world, but that there are powers at work that extend beyond our understanding.

     The Book of Enoch demonstrates the power of corruption and the eternal battle between good and evil. It serves as a reminder that, no matter how dire the circumstances may be, there is always a possibility of forgiveness and salvation. The tale of the rebellious angels has captivated human imagination for centuries, sparking countless artistic and literary creations.
