And It Came To Pass...
Book of 1~Enoch 6
“And it came to pass, when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters [and sons ]. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another, ‘Come, let us choose wives [and husbands ] from among the children of men and beget us children.’”
Book of Genesis 6:1~2; 4
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [And]…the sons [and daughters ] of God…took them wives [and husbands ] of all which they chose. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons [and daughters ] of God came in unto the [sons and ] daughters of men, and they bare children to them, [their children ] became mighty [beings ]...”
Dead Sea Scrolls ~ Book of Giants 1Q23; 4Q531
“And of the Angels, [the sons and daughters of God, ] a great number of them lusted after the creatures of the earth, and chose mates from them and bore children with them. And from this miscegenation ~ from this perversion ~ grotesque beings emerged.”
Book of Jubilees 7:22~23
“And they begat sons [and daughters ]...and they were all unalike...[they were ] Giants...Nephilim, and the Eljo...”
Compilation from the Apocrypha
“And these angels, who were the Watchers and the Grigori, and who begat the Giants, the Nephilim, and the Eljo, taught them divine secrets: of working metal and stone, of enchantments, of astrology, of clouds, and of all the signs of the earth, sun, and moon. And the heavens were divided, as angels turned against their kind and against God.”
Book of Numbers 13:33
“And there we saw the giants, the sons [and daughters ] of Anak, which come of the giants, and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers..."

Book of Revelation 12:7~9
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against [the chief angel,] the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil…which deceiveth the whole world: [s]he was cast out into the earth,and h[er] angels were cast out with h[er].”
Book of Revelation 20:1~3
“And…an angel [Michael ] c[a]me down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit… And he laid hold on the dragon [who was Lucifael and Heylel ]…and bound h[er] a thousand years, and cast h[er] into the bottomless pit, and shut h[er] up, and set a seal upon h[er], that [s]he should deceive the nations no more…till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that [s]he must be loosed a little season.”
2~Peter 2:4
"For...God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness..."
Sibylline Oracles Book 1:285~289
"Chiefly the shapes [and spirits ] of Titans born of old, and giants, and all whom the deluge whelmed, and all that perished in the billowy seas, and all that furnished banquet for the beasts and creeping things and fowls, these in a mass shall [Uriel ] summon to the judgment-seat; and also those whom flesh-devouring fire, destroyed in flame, even these shall he collect..."
Book of Ezekiel 32:27
"And [the sons and daughters of men ] shall not lie with the mighty [Giants and Nephilim ] that are fallen... which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war."
Wisdom of Solomon 14:6
"For in the old time also, when the [mighty and prideful ] Giants perished [in the Great Deluge ], the Hope of the world...escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation."

By faith Enoch was taken up [into Heaven ] so that he should not [experience ] death, and he was not [to be ] found, because God had taken him. Before he was taken, he was commended as, 'one who pleased God'".
Book of Enoch 12:1~2
"And then Enoch disappeared and none of the sons of men knew where he was hidden, where he was, or what had happened. And all of his doings were with the Holy Ones, and with the Watchers, in his days."










































And those Damons were all unalike. They were the Watchers, the Titans, the Grigori, the Giants, the Nephilim, the Eljo, and the Elioud.
Completely, they were the Damons: those Fallen Angels and Grotesques that Caused a Great Deluge to Wash Over the World.
They were a third part of the Children of God ~ those corrupted earthly angels tasked as caretakers of Creation. It came to pass, that Man and His children worshiped these seditious angels and their hideous offspring as gods and goddesses, calling them, Grigori ~ the Watchers.
Their children were freakish forms, grotesque hybrids, sprites, imps, incubi and succubi, conjuring hags, blind seers and mystical oracles, and monstrous mixes that mocked all measure. rule, or order of Original Creation and Divine Intention.
There were all manner of creatures, beasts and mythical beings, cursed and damned, both great and small, with names and faces forever passed on in ancient legend and lore...
...and then came Lazarus.
...all sorts of creeping, crawling and flying abominations infinitely deserving of damnation ~ with all of them rightfully scrubbed from the corrupted face of the world and swiftly slung into the deepest, darkest regions beneath the earth...
