“And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen.”
Take note of the reference here to “seven stars like burning mountains” for in Revelation it speaks of seven mountains who are seven kings. There is also a verse in Revelation that speaks of “a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood.”( Rev. 8:8) Also mentioned are “the women of the angels who went astray” referring to them as sirens. In Greek mythology sirens were women or winged creatures who lured unwary sailors on to the rocks. We already pointed out that female angels with wings like a stork are mentioned just once in scripture in Zechariah 5.
Among the pantheon of Greek and Roman gods were goddesses namely Hera, Demeter and Athena. One of the seven ancient wonders of the world was the Temple of Athena in Ephesus. It contained a huge 70 foot statue of the goddess made of pure gold. The Temple acted as a vault. Athena is shown having wings and bears a spear and a shield while a serpent glides in the background. Again this may be noteworthy as we will be looking at particular references to a female entity mentioned in Revelation and elsewhere which may have a literal as well as a figurative meaning.
But for now we see that it is abundantly clear from the writings of Enoch that evil angels manifested themselves on the earth in those antediluvian days and married human women. Their interference with humankind in those days caused the whole world to become full of sin and violence and bloodshed which brought on the Flood of Noah. Because of their sin, the fallen angels or Nephilim have been incarcerated in the Abyss or Tartarus to await a final day of judgment. But before that day the pit of the Abyss must be opened and these spirits released into the earth once more to wreak havoc during the coming Apocalypse.
