Did you know that when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned she sat above a large cylindrical stone, or pillar, known as the coronation stone, AKA Stone of Scone, stone of destiny, liafail, and Jacob’s Pillar? The stone, you see, has been used for this purpose for centuries in England, but many more centuries before in Scotland and, before that, Ireland (Tara). Queen Elizabeth can trace her royal lineage back through David (and Pharez) as well as Zerah. She sits upon the throne that will one day be occupied by Jesus following his return.

Irish lore has it the stone was brought from (the vicinity of) Egypt by an old wise man traveling with a princess and a scribe. At this same time in history, we have Jeremiah escaping from Jerusalem with his scribe and the daughters of the defeated king, Zedekiah,

In the eleventh year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar succeeded in capturing Jerusalem. Zedekiah and his followers attempted to escape, making their way out of the city, but were captured on the plains of Jericho, and were taken to Riblah.

There, after seeing his sons put to death, his own eyes were put out, and, being loaded with chains, he was carried captive to Babylon, where he remained a prisoner until he died.

So, what of the rock that Jeremiah took to Ireland? Old testament coronations were associated with pillars. Was this the pillar that Zedekiah was crowned upon? What ‘pillar’ would carry such authority to be used in such a manner? Unless, this was the ‘rock’ that produced 40 years of drinking water for thousands of Israelite families wandering the desert. And just what rock was that, by the way? Could it have been the rock that Jacob called the House of God? Did the Israelites carry it with them? The coronation stone has metal rings on each end and a groove worn across the top as though it had been carried with poles for a very long time (40 years?). That would have had to have been before Jeremiah brought it to Tara because it was not moved from place to place in the 2500 years since (save 3x Tara to Scone, Scotland to London, London to Scotland). Before the recent move to Scotland it had resided in Westminster Abbey over 700 years. The clerics at the Abbey called it ‘Jacob’s Pillar’.

In the video below you can see the stone at 1:02 from a distance just below the seat of the coronation throne and at 4:33 you can clearly see the greyish rock beneath the wooden seat.

The Kingdoms of Zerah

October 20th, 2010

This is a followup to Genesis 38 Doesn’t Generate Many Sermons

“Parts of the clan of Zarah undoubtedly came to Spain and Ireland (vide names such as Zaragossa, incorporating the family name) and the migrations from Greece brought royal families of that clan.

The story of the birth of the twins contains the account of the tying of a scarlet thread on the hand of Zarah. This was thought to be sufficiently important to be placed on record and might well be commemorated in the family emblems, for the question of which of the twins was born first would be a matter of debate in the family. A pamphlet published by the Belfast Museum, dealing with the Red Hand of Ulster, shows this device to be of unknown antiquity and always associated with the Scots of Ulster. Like the linen weaving of Shelah, it is surely more than mere coincidence.

The Twins In Partnership

Nothing happens by chance in Israel’s story and the smallest incidents should be noted. The uncertainty as to which of the twins was born first seems to suggest that their inheritance was to be a partnership in which the one actually born first was to be the leader, while the other followed very closely and shared the birthright responsibility which, in this case, was the throne. Although we would not say there was no part of Shelah and Zarah left with the other tribes, it seems certain that, from the Exodus onward, the Biblical story of Judah is concerned particularly with the family of Pharez and it is from this house that the family of Jesse and his son David was drawn. This means that Pharez provided the Royal House in Israel, thus fulfilling the promise of the Sceptre given to Judah. It would be unwise to assume that the story of Judah’s Sceptre was confined only to the branch of the family that remained, in Palestine and this is where the importance of Zarah comes in. There was a westward migration of Hebrews as early as the time of Abraham. They were the circlebuilding race, who have left stone circles all along their route. Then there were portions of Israel that left Egypt before the Exodus. There were the Danaan, said by the Greek histories to have crossed from Egypt to Greece. They formed the bulk of the population of Greece before the arrival of the Dorians, who followed overland from Asia.

Many of the Danaan migrated later into Ireland and brought with them their own royal family. All Greek history is bound up with mythology, which usually consists of the worship of former heroes, but it is from these heroes that the great families have sprung. The princely families ruling over the city states of Greece kept their genealogies and their right to rulership was acknowledged. Not only the Danaan people, but the princely houses ruling over them, point back to Egypt as their place of origin.

The chronology of Archaic Greece is vague. We can only calculate it in generations, but the time of the simultaneous foundation of these Greek dynasties approximates to the period of Calcol and Darda (or Dara), the sons of Zarah. The Rev. William Milner regarded Calcol as the same person as Cecrops, the first King of Athens. This is not just imagination, for it fits into this general picture of the Divine plan for Judah’s rulership. The information which we obtain from the Greek classics tells us that Cecrops came from Egypt with his brothers. They were princes, a fact which would certainly apply to the Sceptre tribe. Their number seems vague and we can discount the legend of “Fifty brothers”, though there could have been fifty in the ship that brought them.

The Greek Dynasties

Cecrops became the first king and founder of Athens. The inhabitants of the country were wild and without discipline. We read that Cecrops set to work organising them, gave them their laws – a significant point this – and generally brought order out of the chaos. He was behaving exactly as a child of Judah might be expected to behave, if he took the Divinely given birthright of rulership seriously.

Nelson’s Encyclopaedia describes his work in these words, “To him are attributed the institution of marriage, the abolition of human sacrifice, and the establishment of a purer worship”. The fact that Cecrops divided the people into twelve communities suggests either that he followed the arrangements prevailing in twelve-tribed Israel, or that a folkmemory of Israel may have been introduced here. One fact seems certain, that Cecrops took the leadership in appointing the cities which were to be the focal centres of these sections of the nation and appointed his brothers to rule in them. There is no suggestion of oppression in the methods used-quite the contrary-and these earliest kings of Attic Greece are remembered with honour.

The Trojan Kings

At roughly the same period, so far as the chronology can be assessed, the city of Troy, already ancient as we see from archaeology, was visited by Darda. This looks like a concerted effort on the part of the sons of Judah to bring order into the lives of the migrating Hebrews. We can be as certain that Darda was Dardanos of Troy, as we can be certain of any event in the second millenniurn before Christ. There was a continual movement out of Asia into Asia Minor, where Troy and its environs became more and more important. The genealogy of Priam, the king who reigned in Troy at the time of the Trojan war, goes back to Dardanos, which is the Greek form of “Darda”. Josephus, in dealing with the story of Calcol and Darda, gives Darda’s name as “Dardanos”, showing that Darda and Dardanos were regarded as one during the first century A.D.

The Viking Rulers

As the westward migration proceeded, these royal families of the house of Zarah came with them. It was not yet time for the Royal House of David to be dispersed from Jerusalem. It was to reign, first over Israel, then over the Judah kingdom in Palestine. Meanwhile, the Zarah kings were able to exercise rule of a kind far more wise than was seen in the pagan world. The likenesses between Greeks and Norsemen are seldom observed, yet they are many and particularly with regard to royalty and law. When the Romans required laws, they went to the Greeks for them, because the laws of the Greeks were renowned for their wisdom. Athena, the patroness of Athens and goddess of Wisdom, is believed to be the deified wife of Cecrops. Little remains of the actual wording of Archaic Greek laws, but we can see that they were respected, though many, like the Romans, altered them beyond recognition. When the Norsemen began their great migration to the west and north, they were governed by their king Odin. He also was deified, but there is no doubt as to his actual existence, as we can see from the Norse Sagas, in which all the Scandinavian royal families are traced back to the sons of Odin. Many tales are told of their benign rule. Of Skiold, the first King of Denrnark and one of Odin’s sons, we are told that the land was so peaceful under his reign that a man might leave a bag of gold in the street all night and find it again next morning. In the prologue to The Prose Edda, we read that Odin was descended, by eighteen generations, from Thor who was grandson of Priam, King of Troy.

No doubt the laws of Greeks, Trojans and Norsemen had the same origin. Was it in the laws known to the Hebrews before they were codified at Sinai?

The Saxon Rulers

The two sons of Odin, Baeldeg and Wegdeg, went into “Saxland” and married Saxon women. When, in course of tirne, the Saxons came into Britain, they brought their own king, Cerdic. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle the genealogy of Cerdic goes back to Odin. Sir George Bellew, Garter King of Arms, tells us that the method of choosing a new king among the Saxons was that the elders met to make their choice from the family of Cerdic. He need not be a son of the previous king, but he must be descended from Odin. King Alfred the Great was chosen in this way and though he was a wise choice, he was not the eldest son of the former king. This method reminds us very much of God’s choice of the rulers in Israel.

The Thrones In Britain

When the Zarah kings of the Saxon house of Odin arrived in Britain, what did they find? Already there was a ruling house in Ireland, having come from the east when the Danaan migrated from Greece to Britain. Into that ruling family Tea Tephi was married. She had come from Egypt after the fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar. In them were united the families of Zarah and Pharez, both royal houses of high renown throughout the then known world. In Wales, the Silurian royal family was reigning. This had preserved its genealogy showing descent from Brutus the Trojan, who came to Britain about 1000 B.C. When Joseph of Arimathea came to Britain, his children married into the Silurian house. Joseph is mentioned in several ancient Welsh genealogies and is named in the triad of “Three Saintly Lineages of the Island of Britain”.’ Another branch of the Trojan family ruled in Colchester and yet other branches provided the kings of North Wales and the Picts. So we find these various families coming naturally together, from the houses of Pharez and Zarah, and all intermarrying, so that our present beloved Queen is descended from them all and unites the various ruling branches of Judah in her own royal person. The people of Ulster were, throughout their history, known as Scots. It was a migration from Ulster which took the name to Scotland. The Scots themselves were named after their ancestress Scota who, according to Irish histories, came from Egypt via Spain where she married a Greek prince named Gathelus. There seems no doubt that the Scots were acknowledged as a royal clan.

The Purpose Fulfilled

So we see the purpose of God being fulfilled. All the royal families of Europe, as well as the nations of purely Israel origin, have been drawn from Judah. It is the family Divinely chosen to hold the Sceptre. It is significant that while the nations of mixed race have thrown off the yoke of royal rule, the Israel nations remain faithful to their monarchy. If God Himself appointed monarchy as the next best form of government to His own Theocracy, there must have been wisdom in that choice. Just as Cecrops knew the people of Attica needed leadership, so the same fact seems to apply throughout our history. We know what happened to the Pharez branch of Judah that remained in Jerusalem, for it was never lost. It provided the House of David which, like the Zarah rulers, was a separate entity detached from the nations over which it ruled, it provided the family of our Lord, who is the supreme Heir of David’s line; it provided the earliest Christian missionaries who were closely related to Him and it experienced its own particular dispersion westward, mingling in Christian activity with those Israelites who had already travelled to western Europe and Britain. Meanwhile, the nation of the Jews, associating and intermarrying more and more with the Canaanites, became further and further removed from the birthright of Israel, which is the responsibility for building the Kingdom of God on earth. It will be noticed readily enough, that the two leaderships in Israel, represented by Judah and Joseph, come very closely to the form of constitutional monarchy which works so well in the Israel nations: the monarch at the head and the prime minister functioning on behalf of the people, guiding the practical affairs of the nation. “

Genesis 38

Judah and Tamar
1 At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah. 2 There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He married her and lay with her; 3 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er. 4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan. 5 She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.

6 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death.

8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Lie with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so he put him to death also.

11 Judah then said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.

12 After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah, to the men who were shearing his sheep, and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went with him.

13 When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,” 14 she took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. 16 Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.”
“And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked.

17 “I’ll send you a young goat from my flock,” he said.
“Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it?” she asked.

18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?”
“Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him. 19 After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes again.

20 Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her. 21 He asked the men who lived there, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?”
“There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here,” they said.

22 So he went back to Judah and said, “I didn’t find her. Besides, the men who lived there said, ‘There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here.’ ”

23 Then Judah said, “Let her keep what she has, or we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.”

24 About three months later Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.”
Judah said, “Bring her out and have her burned to death!”

25 As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. “I am pregnant by the man who owns these,” she said. And she added, “See if you recognize whose seal and cord and staff these are.”

26 Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn’t give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not sleep with her again.

27 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. 28 As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.” 29 But when he drew back his hand, his brother came out, and she said, “So this is how you have broken out!” And he was named Perez. [a] 30 Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread on his wrist, came out and he was given the name Zerah. [b]

Why was this ‘odd’ chapter included in the Bible? Why was it placed where it was, following the sale of Joseph to the Ishmaelites who then sold him to Potiphar in Egypt, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.

Perhaps to lay the groundwork for the later Chapter (49) in which Jacob blesses Judah:

8 “Judah, [b] your brothers will praise you;
your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;
your father’s sons will bow down to you.

9 You are a lion’s cub, O Judah;
you return from the prey, my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?

10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs [c]
and the obedience of the nations is his.

11 He will tether his donkey to a vine,
his colt to the choicest branch;
he will wash his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.

12 His eyes will be darker than wine,
his teeth whiter than milk. [d]

So, If the descendants of Judah were to be the ‘kingly’ line and Zerah was his firstborn, would we not expect monarchs to follow from Zerah who wore the scarlet thread? The Bible is silent on this matter but the pages of history are not. Do you know your history? If you don’t know history, you cannot ever hope to understand the Bible. If you do not know the Bible, you will never understand the facts of history.

Gay Rights and God

August 9th, 2010
Comments Off

When I was growing up there were no gay rights groups. Quite the contrary nobody would admit to being a homo(sexual) except the flagrant flames. Today homosexuality is everywhere and has become a powerful political force. Most recently a judge has ruled that the denial of same sex marriage is unconstitutional in California invalidating a popular referendum barring same sex marriages.

I would like to examine this state of affairs from a biblical reference as I am saddened by the decadence in almost all areas of our modern society but the gay pride thing I find particularly offensive.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” This is God’s word on male-male sex. In old testament times if you were discovered you would be put to death. But these are new testament times and here in America we have parades, gay lobbies, and gay marriage. That quite a leap even though it has been 4000 years.

The problem I have with homosexuality today is the openness, the pride, the socialization. I see this type of behavior as defiance against God who clearly made His feelings known. The act of homosexuality is no more or less significant than the myriad of other common sins that afflict us all today. Jesus will cover those sins if you ask Him. But will He if you’re living the gay lifestyle, attending gay festivals, fighting for your gay rights and getting married to another man? This type of behavior is like spitting on the Word of God and it is what I find so offensive. If you want to be a homosexual or are a homosexual, deal with it as we all deal with our own issues. But please don’t push your shortcomings on others and try to make them accept your behavior as anything other than what God said it was.

What other sinful activity so clearly defined in the Bible has its own parade? It’s nuts!!!!!!!

Last night I caught a Beatles documentary (Imagine) before going to bed. There was a lot of early Beatles footage replete with out of control teenage girls, but the main focus was on John Lennon.

John (and Yoko) decided that as long as the press was going to follow them everywhere they went they could capitalize on that by promoting a message of Peace and Love which would be reinforced through their music.

Unfortunately for John (and Yoko) but most tragically for his millions of followers he excluded God from the solution. People who fail to recognize God also usually fail to recognize his spiritual antagonists at work among us on Earth who are happy to hide in the shadows as long as God is not trusted. Had Lennon, with his brilliance, seen the full picture, who knows how much good his music could have done for humanity turning people towards God.

Sadly, Lennon seemed to have an aura of self importance and clearly lacked any sense of the true spiritual reality that surrounded him. Meanwhile a generation of agnostics enter the workforce. Years later they would never know who was really behind the loss of their retirement wealth and their ways of life.

When we read the Book of Enoch we learn that a band of rebel angels decided to defy God and take wives of the women of the Earth knowing the severity of the transgressions and that they met and discussed the plan and formed a union prior to the undertaking. We also learn that their offspring (giants) would perish in the flood but their spirits would live on as evil spirits in our earthly world.

Today we are experiencing a climax of evil perpetuated by corporations, central banks, and governments. The quest for money, riches, and power have unleashed a global cataclysm not yet generally recognized by those who rely on mass media for their news. Behind these overlords that cause nations to go to war and genocide to groups they hate is the power of evil as in Evil Spirits which are very much in play as they are eternal. The Bible tells us that their leader is Satan.

The Bible also tells us that, at some point, we will be unable to buy or sell without the ‘mark’. Knowing that puts our current financial crisis in perspective. Things are being set up to change. No secret, of course, to God who has already written the ending.

“I was raised Catholic but stopped going to church at the age of 12. I was a complete idiot at that age with regard to almost every other area of human knowledge, but even I knew back then that the church was a scam. There are good and decent people working as individual priests, but the institution as a whole is a gang of cheap charlatans preying on peoples’ guilt feelings (which of course are cultivated intentionally by the church, which teaches children to be ashamed of their natural sexuality) in order to solicit a lifetime of contributions.

When I see a Catholic priest chanting his ridiculous incantations and waving his holy smoke over someone’s gravesite or at a wedding, the vibe I get is exactly the same as the one I get watching a plumber groan and moan and babble gibberish about all the different things wrong with your kitchen pipes, when in reality all he had to do was replace a washer.” -Matt Taibbi

Unfortunately Matt does not realize that you have to separate the message from the institution.

The Catholic Church is many centuries old. But all the events in the Bible, except for some prophesies and visions, took place centuries before the Church. Free online versions are now available and are searchabe. Just google it.

Right off the bat, however, the reader is confronted with “In the beginning” and he says, “wait a minute. science conflict. abort abort.” If that sounds familiar please read “In the Beginning” The Bible, as translated loses meaning, particularly when translating from Hebrew which can have so many meanings. Those meanings are lost on the clergy, as well, whether they be Catholic or Protestant. To cover their ignorance they make up lies that are later exposed to intelligent 12 year olds. The now turned off adolescent joins the minions of disbelievers who threw the baby out with the bath water.

There was man who was so righteous that God walked with him and took him from earth to heaven.

Genesis 5

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Enoch is credited as being the author of The Book of Enoch which, although not included as canon, is quoted in several places in the old and new testaments. In Enoch’s time the Earth was still covered by a firmament. God instructed the Watchers (angels) to show him all the secrets behind heaven and earth and to answer all his questions. The Book of Enoch is a unique peek behind the curtain of heaven that must have survived the deluge with Noah, the great-grandson of Enoch. It was discovered in Ethiopia in 1768 by Scotsman, James Bryce.

The Book of Enoch expands on Genesis 6 with great detail:

Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days;

Passages below are from The Book of Enoch:

“It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful.

And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them they became enamored of them, saying to each other: Come let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.

Then their leader, Samyaza said to them: I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise.

And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime.

But they answered him and said: We all swear;

And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.

Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was 200, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of Mount Armon…

…Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with women they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantation, and the dividing of roots and trees.

And they conceiving brought forth giants.

Whose stature was each 300 cubits. These devoured all which the laboor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;

When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;
And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.

Then the earth reproved the unrighteous…”

“…I also was so far advanced, with a veil on my face, and trembling. Then the Lord with his own mouth called me, saying: Approach hither, Enoch, at my holy word.
And he raised me up making me near even to the entrance. My eye was directed to the ground.

Then addressing me he spoke and said: Hear, neither be afraid, O Enoch, O righteous man, and scribe of righteousness: approach hither, and hear my voice. Go say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent thee to pray for them; You ought to pray for men, and not men for you.

Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and the holy heaven which endures forever, and have lain with women; have defiled yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten giants.
You being spiritual, holy, and living a life which is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in carnal blood; have lusted in the blood of men; and have done as those who are flesh and blood do.

These however die and perish.

Therefore have I given them wives that they might cohabit with them; that sons might be born of them, and that this might be transacted upon earth.

But you from the beginning were made spiritual, living a life which is eternal, and not subject to death in all the generations of the world.

Therefore I made not wives for you, because being spiritual, your dwelling is in heaven.

Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall call upon earth evil spirits.and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born in earth…”

“… And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a son.

And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright.

And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness.

And his father Lamech was afraid of him and fled, and came to his father Methuselah. And he said unto him: ‘ I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun,

and his countenance is glorious. And it seems to me that he is not sprung from me but from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be wrought on the earth. And now, my father, I am here to petition thee and implore thee that thou mayest go to Enoch, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is amongst the angels.’

And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that 1 was there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice and I came to him.

And 1 said unto him: ‘ Behold, here am I, my son, wherefore hast thou come to me? ‘
And he answered and said: ‘ Because of a great cause of anxiety have I come to thee, and because of a disturbing vision have I approached. And now, my father, hear me: unto Lamech my son there hath been born a son, the like of whom there is none,
and his nature is not like man’s nature, and the colour of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his eyes and thereupon lighted up the whole house.

And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened his mouth and blessed the Lord of heaven.

And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and behold I have come to thee that thou mayest make known to me the truth.’

And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: ‘The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord. And behold they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, and have begot children by them.

And they shall produce on the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge and a great destruction for one year. And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth shall die.

And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days.

And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets….”

“…To Gabriel also the Lord said: Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication; and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth and send them one against the other. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs.

They shall all entreat thee, but their fathers shall not obtain their wishes respecting them; for they shall hope for eternal life, and that they may live, each of them, five hundred years.

To Michael likewise the Lord said: Go and announce his crime to Samyazza, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with all their impurity. And when all their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the perdition of their beloved, bind them for seventy generations underneath the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation, until the judgment, the effect of which will last forever, be completed.

Then shall they be taken away to the lowest depths of the fires in torments, and in confinement shall they be shut up forever.

Immediately after this shall he, together with them, burn and perish; they shall be bound until the consummation of many generations.

Destroy all the souls addicted to dalliance, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.

Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth;

Let every evil work be destroyed”
.
So, “Why do Muslims cover their women?”

According to the Book of Enoch women were placed on the planet so that they would cohabit and mate with men and produce offspring. The Angels, being immortal, did not need offspring. God made women beautiful to enhance the repopulation effort. He did such a good job that the temptation was just too much for 200 pure spiritual dwellers of heaven.

Where would the Muslims get the idea that looking at a woman would pollute them? Why would they believe that God would not want them to look upon their beauty? Where did the fear of the sight of a woman originate? These passages from the Book of Enoch, above, may shed some light:

“You being spiritual, holy, and living a life which is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women;”

and

“Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall call upon earth evil spirits.and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born in earth…”

These terrestrial spirits would remember that their plight was due to their spiritual fathers polluting themselves with earthly women. It would appear they have succeeded in transfering that guilt to the Muslims.
