I made a post earlier today asking for more insight into the Book of Enoch, as I had just finished reading it for the first time. I remembered hearing about it growing up, (Catholic schools K-12, I even had a nun for a teacher! Shout out to Sis. J) but it was immediately shut down by my "teachers/church influences" and regarded as "fanfic" as some of you noted on my post this morning.
My earlier post There are some great accounts and resources here to start.
And HOLY SHITBALLS you magnificent autists did not disappoint! All of your links and videos eventually led me into a headfirst plunge down the rabbit hole!
Because of my Catholic upbringing (Sunday school, the Sacraments, etc) I learned a basic understanding of how to interpret scripture for meaning, not necessarily interpret the text as literal. I found a summary/interpretation of the book of enoch on what seems to a conspiracy theory forum from 2011, and it aligned Quite well with my own perspective. Link Here but I'm going to add commentary to the original post, as well as correct their spelling errors.
"The Book of Enoch is one of those books that almost made it into the Bible, but was then rejected as "apocryphal", even though Enoch and the book itself are mentioned and referred to several times in the Bible. The only people who accept the book as an official part of their holy scriptures are Ethiopian Jews, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and a few more obscure religious groups around the world. Official sources say the book was written 300 B.C. but since it is ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, some speculate that it was written before "the great flood".
The first part of the book is about "The Watchers", a group of "angels" sent to earth to watch over humans. 200 of those angels committed transgressions by having sex with humans, creating a hybrid race called the "Nephilim". Of the Nephilim, it is said that they were giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity. It is said that the "Watchers" taught humans reading, writing, weaponry, cosmetics, sorcery, about the stars, meteorology, and many other arts. This was problematic because it robbed humans the opportunity to discover the arts by themselves. They "revealed the eternal secrets which were preserved for heaven, which men were striving to learn.” the book says. Everything so far is consistent with what I've found. I'll try to cite sauce at the end.
"The Gods" were not pleased about the intervention of "The Watchers" in human affairs. (The same story of interventionists vs. non-interventionists is told in Greek Mythology, Sumerian Mythology, as well as various Asian myths about the old days of mankind. Allegedly, there were also experiments in cross-breeding between animals and humans going on. Red Flag #1
"And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood." Red Flag #2
"And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel (from the Bible, or if those not familiar have heard of "guardian angels"... that's these guys) looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. … And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness." Red Flag #3
(I will address these flags later, I'm just typing this out to get it all down, but how open to the idea of giants, pixies, dragons, are all of you? File that in the back for now)
"Disgusted by all this, "the Gods" decided to have a Great Flood to rid the earth of the Nephilim and other ghastly creatures (according to the Book of Enoch). The Bible says that the Nephilim are bound "in the valleys of earth" - beneath the earth- until Judgement day. Yellow Flag #1. Enter Noah's arc. Also, how dead set on Earth being round/flat are you all? More to come.
"Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spoke, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him: Go to Noah and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world." For some reason, Atlantis had always in my head, been plausible. Theoretically, this could explain lost civilizations and many ancient ruins, known and unknown.
"In Genesis we read the following about the Nephilim:
When men began to multiply on earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw how beautiful the daughters of man were, and so they took for their wives as many of them as they chose. Then the Lord said: "My spirit shall not remain in man forever, since he is but flesh. His days shall comprise one hundred and twenty years." At that time the Nephilim appeared on earth, after the sons of God had intercourse with the daughters of man, who bore them sons. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown. (Genesis 6:1-4)
The relevance of the first Book of Enoch was recently strengthened when, among the Dead Sea Scrolls the "Book of Giants" was found, dated to 200 B.C. and talking about a time before the great worldwide flood when giants and dragons fought each other. Some of the names mentioned in "The Book of Giants" are also mentioned in the Talmud." Remember Red Flag 1-3?
"The ancient Gods were often depicted as flying chariots and dragons."
So in summary, a group of angels were sent to earth as watchers. Since they had sex with humans, we must assume that they had bodies, that they were present in physical form. Not so sure Possibly the "higher ups" were non-physical or celestial or ultraterrestrial, whereas the "Watchers" were what we would call humanoids, extraterrestrials. This is more consistent with my POV and also could explain the whole "Virgin Mary" thing. Gabriel there too if I remember correctly. A part of those angels became "fallen angels" because they intermixed with humans, intervened in their affairs and taught them things they were supposed to learn by themselves.satanic rituals? As a result of the sins, a race of savage cannibalistic beasts that ate flesh and drank blood arose and turned paradise into a nightmarish place. Starting to sound familiar? Whoever had created earth My faith tells me God decided to have it destroyed with a Giant Flood Bible which only a few species should survive. two by two? Some beings fled or were locked into the "Underworld" which would either be hell on the astral-planes or dwellings below the surface of the earth or both. I'm going to repeat this last sentence for retention Some beings fled or were locked into the "Underworld" which would either be hell on the astral-planes or dwellings below the surface of the earth or both. Apparently humankind are like children coincidence? that need to be watched over by "The Watchers" but without too much intervention because it would stifle their maturity. Today, many thousands of years later, the non-intervention policy is apparently still ongoing (this time more successfully) with a few ocassionall interferences happening.
UNTIL NOW
The Book of Enoch answers several mysteries. The age old question "Why didn't the Gods leave evidence of their stay" is answered by the very policy of non-interference. This, but did they leave evidence as well? The question of "why certain knowledge is kept secret?" is answered by the "so that you can discover it out of your own power" theory. To an extent. The book also somewhat confirms legends and tales of an advanced people that existed before a great flood who that were destroyed because things went bad. Of course, the entire tale is indirectly confirmed by other ancient sources...Sumeran, Chinese and Pre-Columbian to name a few... **Of course, the entire tale is indirectly confirmed by other ancient sources...Sumeran, Chinese and Pre-Columbian to name a few... **
Now is when I tie this all together. I am also done with italicized commentary. For further background on where I'm going with this, I'm citing a post I made 26 days ago. You can find that Here
"I somehow think that all of what's happening, has something to do with the GEORGIA GUIDESTONES. Don't know what that is? A "CRYPTIC STONEHENGE", right here in the USA! Trump said SOMETHING BIG, and has mentioned multiple times, that this great event will be BIBLICAL. That being said, how does a world population of 500,000,000 sound? Our current population is around 7.5 BILLION... with a B. How would that be possible? Or good for that matter? ENLIGHTENMENT. 7 million people will eventually achieve this and I'm guessing it will be a process (not instant).
Quantum theory. I believe our advancements in technology have developed into some sort of quantum teleportation. How do 7 billion people disappear? DJT "favorite uncle" John George Trump was an American electrical engineer, inventor, and physicist. He was noted for developing rotational radiation therapy. More specifically, X-rays. SO trump may have the capabilities to help facilitate the GREAT AWAKENING for FREEDOM.
It would explain how trump has been able to stay 1 step ahead (minimum). It would explain the possibility of Q. It would explain the "Barron Trump Adventures", which is a series of books over 100 years old, that have an uncanny amount of coincidence with current events.
Id like to end with a VERY IMPORTANT connection that I still can't fully explain. FAITH. Faith is a very important part of this. Hence, hold the line. America has always boasted religious freedom. The Trump administration has stressed the importance of GOD."
So if the Book of Enoch is in theory, from the Bible, then paradise is near. At the Georgia Guidestones, there is a marble? slab next to the actual structure with what seems like clues inscribed in it. The "creator" of the guide stones remained anon, but gave the "PSUDONYN" R.C. Christian. I misspelled that intentionally because that's how it appears, which is believed to be a code/puzzle. Pic Of slab IT ALSO mentions its paid for by "A small group of Americans who seek the Age of Reason". IT ALSO mentions a time capsule "To be opened on..." and the date is yet to be filled in. ALSO, if you look into R.C. Christian deeper, you'll find a book titled "Common Sense: Renewed" authored by, you guessed it... R.C. Christian. ALSO, "Common Sense" is a 47-page pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776 at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation. (<wikipedia) LAST, "PSUDONYN" R.C. Christian. It has recently been discovered/accepted ---R C C H R I S T I A N A P S E U D O N Y N = C O N S P I R A C Y U N T A R N I S H E D (conspiracy untarnished/untarnished conspiracy). Look this up and compare the languages inscribed on each side of the pillars, and compare them to the lineage and "chain of custody" of the Bible/Enoch/etc. GA Guidestones wiki Common Sense: Renewed (PDF)
(Side note, I remember a Q drop that had a link to "The Chive" that was all about NWO/Cabal at DIA (Denver International) that also mentioned a time capsule. The article had pictures of a few different murals that, depending on interpretation, could mean armageddon (bad) or the happenings before enlightenment (ultimately good). link
The "Looking Glass" and our advancements in technology, that we know about, has been tackling quantum theory/physics for awhile now. The Tesla papers (fully declassified) may even have the blueprints for this sort of thing. That being said, "time travel" or reaching other "astral planes" may entirely be possible. (research "hollow earth theories, I'll need a Pt. 2 to go in depth)
Ultimately, Q, Enoch, the Bible, our Founding Fathers, I feel like are all connected. Q is being used to save as many "righteous" that are willing to break the mold to an elevated level of thinking before RAPTURE/ENLIGHTENMENT.
P.S. We all know what Fragrant Trees was REFERring to. ;)
I would love to hear your thoughts!
God Bless, WWG1WGA
The Book of Enoch explains so much! Before the canon of scripture, it was one of the most popular books with early Christians! Try discussing this book with a pastor! Their response alone, will encourage you to read it!
Furthermore, doesn't the Vatican house more books of the bible? They hide them from us?
Great read, btw thanks for the info!
Some say they have the Library of Alexandria and it was intentionally destroyed to hide the knowledge of the Ancients.
There are no “gods”, there is only God.
Check out Psalm 82. Dr. Michael Heiser has done great research on this aspect, which is available in book form and in Youtube videos.
VERY briefly:
The concept of the Divine Council, which consists of what we might call "lesser elohims" or lesser gods. (Elohim is Hebrew, plural for "mighty ones.") Little "g" gods, not really supernatural, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent as THE God, YHWH,
El Elyon-the most High God.
Seems there would be little need to include a name for our God as "The Most High God" if there weren't also lesser "gods." Some reason to believe that these lesser elohim may have been a pattern for the pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses.
It would seem that after the Tower of Babel incident, El Elyon divided up the nations and assigned them to the lesser elohims, when Michael was assigned to Israel, and was then in wrath over their failure to guard/lead the nations in a YHWH honoring way, so they will eventually be judged and die like mortals.
Dr. Michael Lake describes this process in great detail in very accessible form in his book, The Shinar Directive. There are also videos of interviews with him on this topic on YT.
No. There is only God.
Daniel 7:25 talks about the horn on the fourth beast who spoke “great things” intending to “change the times and the law.” This could very well have something to do with time travel. I wish Christians would also read and seriously consider Revelation 17. Verse 17 clearly shows that for a certain amount of time, the beast performs the mind of God, even doing His will in utterly destroying Babylon— the same beast, the same government, that will later receive authority from the dragon to overcome the saints. According to 2 John, heresy is something that “goes beyond and does not abide in the teaching of Christ.” Many of these rabbit hole searchings, I believe, are “going beyond.” The Lord has given us the Word. We don’t need to know the deep things of Satan. We will be okay to focus on Christ. Enlightenment, great awakening. These are New Age terms. I’m telling you this because I’m presuming you are a Christian and want you to be careful. It wasn’t that the Watchers revealed things that we were supposed to find out ourselves. We were supposed to eat the tree of life. Not the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We were supposed to take in God as the tree of life as our source and life supply. We were supposed to fully depend on God for everything. This choice is still before us every day.
YES and YES! There are holy watchers and unholy watchers...those who carried out YHWH's plan and intentions, and the fallen elohim of the Divine Council, who did not do so, per Psalm 82.
Very good cautions expressed here regarding New Age concepts, though I do believe we need to be aware enough in order to know how to pray knowledgeably and specifically. We must be cautious not to allow false concepts to frame our understanding of Truth.
The Tree of Life is our God's good/ tov in Hebrew; fullness, mature, good. It represents the True Light.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil represents two sides of evil.
VERY BRIEFLY: satanic: obvious, absolute evil and darkness
Luciferian: false light, appearing to be good.
Believers need to discern between THREE things, not just two:
Truth/Light False Light Evil.
Potentially then, also the unholy trinity of Dragon, Sea Beast and Land Beast mocking Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I am still reading The Suppressed History of America: The Murder of Meriwether Lewis and the Mysterious Discoveries of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and it reports numerous giant skeletons buried in mounds all throughout America. The Smithsonian Institute has hidden this history from us for their own unknown purpose. The Romans reported killing giants as late as the 3rd century AD. As a student of history I am confident in saying giants really existed. Much of our true history has been hidden from us.
Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishman!
Be he alive or be he dead
I'll grind his bones to make my bread!
Jack and the Beanstalk.
Lest we forget about giants.
Check out Steve Quayle's book on Giants. He has documented, with as many pictures as possible, where these giant skeletons have been found around the earth.
Thank you, I have not! Now do I go to sleep or not? Lol
The book of Enoch is great. Just a note on the "angels" that mingled with the children of men. They were children of Adam that were still among the righteous group, not disembodied angels. They came down from the mountains and mingled with the offspring and people of Cain.
Yes, that is one interpretation, given by and for those who have trouble believing that angels can procreate with human women.
The term "angels" is really misleading at times. It really just means "messenger" in Hebrew. Even David was called an angel at times.
A more inclusive term is "immortal ones" who were preternatural: created beings but not supernatural as is the Source YHWH, and not natural beings as we humans are.
There are different tasks/positions among these immortal beings; seraphim, cherubim, ophanim, for examples.
Would love some more information on that interpretation.
I have wondered (pure speculation) if these could have been Terrestrial beings vs Telestial.
A lot of overlap with many interpretations of the stuff that came out of the sumerian texts.
See Zecharia Sitchin
Thanks for this. I really enjoy seeing others arranging puzzle pieces and sharing their progress. It's like opening a new puzzle and finding some of the pieces already together.
I kindly insist that you do a part 2... Now I just need to find the Book of Enoch in my little library and re read it again. You opened up a new perspective to me, which I thank you for!
Here's an online copy:
https://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/
Thanks, will read this as well, to see how it differs from the book I have.
This is the standard 1917 translation. I think you might find a newer one from 1995 online as well.
You got it! ??

Great read, good theories.
You should do some research into Mormon beliefs. Mormons believe there are many books missing from the bible, they also believe the book of Mormon is also scripture written by ancient prophets on the American Continent. It tells of a group of people who fled Israel and landed in what is basically *Present Day America and started civilizations.
They thrived when they adhered to gods commandments, and struggled when they sinned. There were many prophets and believers throughout these civilizations who tried to teach the truth.
Interestingly, The Book of Mormon talks extensively about secret societies and secret combinations that infiltrated these civilizations and their governments. People who took secret oaths and sought power over the people. They had secret handshakes and tokens to know they were on the same team. Their works were in the shadows and were VERY evil.
Apparently these secret oaths and works were VERY old, ancient, and designed by Lucifer. They were passed down through the ages to different groups around the world. And it was always the same cycle. they were used to obtain power and control over the people until the people rose up and fought back with gods help. They were full of rituals and other things similar to what we have today with the cabal (The book says these people drank blood and did all manner of evil things)
Jesus even appears to these people, after his resurrection. He formed his church among them, and they had peace for a couple generations until falling back into wickedness. The people finally humbled themselves before god, and he delivered them. With gods help, they rose up and destroyed these secret combinations and rooted them out of their government. They found their plans and designs and destroyed or buried them deep in the earth so nobody would ever find them again. But alas, men are weak. Enough time went by and these people became wicked again, they even found the plans and started the secret societies up again. This time was the last, they became so wicked that god withdrew his spirit from them completely and they were all wiped out. This civilization spanned about 900 years. The last righteous man in that civilization was named Mormon, he took all the writings of all those prophets and combined them into one book and buried them. This is where the whole Joseph Smith story comes in. He was instructed by god to recover these plates, translate them, and give the book to the world to teach them about god and the other things written in the book.
It's all very interesting stuff. I think we all have bits and pieces of the truth, and we are given this info for a reason.
I was under the impression that the vast majority of that book took place in the Heartland of the US & that central & South America's were past of other more ancient tribes (possibly Jaredite or others unknown) that have gone through the same process we might be going through today. Tope members of the Cheyenne Tribe generally confirm this account, but are still waiting for the population as a whole to be humble enough to listen to their oral traditions VS the stuff the Smithsonian & universities are putting forward as truth.
Haplo-Group X DNA data lends much credibility to this along with the few accounts of excavated Hopewell mounds before they were sealed up. The descriptions shown in some of the texts in the library of congress (I need to find that link again) show some things that are very similar to the killing fields talked about in that book.
End of the day, I am a firm believer that there are many ancient accounts that have been hidden from public knowledge (many not tied to the Church of Jesus Christ) due to the satanic cabal that keeps things hidden.
It is fascinating how all these things are linking together.
It's probably central America and Present day USA, the book mentions the narrow neck of land (panama?) and that many fled north into the northern regions. I'm no expert but it's probably both.
I figured that narrow neck of land is likely that land between Buffalo, Detroit or Barrie (CA). Granted I am taking that from Smith claiming that the people of that book were those tribes in that area. Shawn Little Bear from the Cheyenne Tribe gives credibility to that (claiming to be a descendant of the Jaradite nations), and IIRC Smith dismissed the idea from the original member who put forth the idea. Current DNA suggests the only place there were middle eastern descendants is up in the north eastern part of the US/Canada, and a bit through the bread basket. Also if we consider the beasts that migrated, there are none in the mistorical record in the South American continent. I used to think that model of the South American continent was accurate, but now lean more on those being descendants that were brought to a chosen land where individuals could worship God as they saw fit & who knows how many groups the Lord led here (viking, European, Asian, Middle Eastern).
On a different note, have you looked into the House of Lehi in the hills of Jedea?
Check out Wayne May & Shawn Little Bear against the ideas I grew up with in the 90s. I would love to see some better evidence of it & am always looking for accuracy with native Americans (both North & South) that can help me better understand how it all ties together.
Here is more about Beit Lehi https://vimeo.com/299717377 https://youtu.be/s_CxzQKb1ZA
I will need to look for the various links I have later today, though they are several hours of evidence related to a NE USA claim where the stories took place. Granted I could be wrong, but it just makes sense to me.
Definitely very plausible. The BOM mentions the "choice land" being blessed by god above all other nations of the earth. And that if the inhabitants of said land adhere to righteousness, they will be blessed beyond measure. But if they are wicked, they will be destroyed.
This obviously alludes to the USA, not central or south America.
Did you grow up LDS? I did, I still live in Utah. Although I'm not currently very active in the church, I have been actively pondering it's teachings and the things I grew up with. The book of mormon has some great parables for our time, especially regarding the secret societies and corrupt governments filled with evil people. I think the LDS church has some corruption and wrong things it needs to root out, but overall it still promotes a good, family based message. It's interesting that before covid hit, they started promoting an at home approach to church, rather than relying on the brick and motor aspect of religion.
Those are some good sources you linked, I'll check them out. Good chat!
I grew up as what many deemed an "apostate waiting to hapoen" type of kid. Oddly the crazy/esoteric stuff I researched in my youth ended up only making my convictions of the Church of Jesus Christ even more solid as an adult & bringing me to understand many of the principles as clearly as most 8 year Olds could understand them.
Still need to be careful tossing random thoughts out to certain local leaders, but most of them seem to be getting weeded out pretty quick. My father had similar experiences on his mission RE racism in his mission in Idaho & ended up with a few bishops being removed by the next week as a result of him simply speaking the truth to stake president's & area authorities at the time. I have had a couple bishops apologize to me after reviewing official church publications & some discussion with their leaders. To be fair at the time I was blatantly calling out some points that were contentious to many local members & alluding to things many simply didn't understand how they could be possible (cognitive dissonance).
As a general rule I get laughs now when I claim that I may not be worthy for temple since I associate with a group that practices ideas contrary to Jesus Christ, and then laugh about being a registered Republican. Though for a time there were many who were horrible offended. Also asking what a mom & dad giraffe/monkey/elephant/God made would/still does land me in hot water, especially when pointing out what Christ taught in the subject.
It amazes me how much members don't want to consider that Government is likely the evil/church of Satan we must fight against when President Benson also laid out the groundwork for that basic belief & when I point out the text messages from the FBI lovers S&P using the phrase "secret combination" in that message.
I have heard evidence from some oral traditions to suggest that promise is given to both continents here, though the US is clearly that covenant land today & I am so grateful this Q project is bringing back a revival in Jesus Christ so we can save this country.
The narrow neck, and the narrow pass are 2 different locations. The neck is actually Niagra, between the 2 seas, great lakes there in New York.
Niagra means Neck.
The narrow pass is another passageway leading to the Northern lands, so also between the seas, or lakes. Keep in mind, a Sea to these people were the Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee, much smaller than the Great Lakes.
Thank you for that clarification. I need to check that out more.

What are your thoughts on the voynich manuscript, while reading your post, it popped in my head, I have a weird brain, so I can't tell you why, but I feel like it may be connected in some manner...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript
To be honest, I have never heard of it. After reading about it quick, the only thing I would be able to elaborate on is the Latin part, and adding a coded language to Latin is where I will bow out. My gut tells me that it could be extraterrestrial in reference to giants/pixies/angels/archangels. The coded side of it gives it a nefarious vibe imo
Ga guidestones pdf link near bottom is b0rked.
According to "reptiliandude" these Watchers are called the Kayeen (a term obviously related to the Biblical word Cain) and they're a species of rationalist aliens that see God like He's just a more powerful alien and think they can pull the wool over His eyes. Genetic manipulation=yes. Hybrids=yes. "Possession"=overwriting human minds with their own. They drop diseases on humanity and sell our immunities for profit to other species according to him.
Unlike the Kayeen, RD claims that his people worship one God and have their own sort of Unitarian view of Jesus as a Solar hero figure. The Great Flood was the doing of his people to fight off the hybrids that the Kayeen were using to attack them and they managed to get themselves to a sufficient technology status to join the Assembly (the aliens that follow God) and fight back. They sent a bunch of meteors 12,000 years ago causing the Younger Dryas event that killed off the megafauna. As punishment God made both sides rebuild this planet from the damage they had done.
The Consortium obviously became a corrupt money making venture as the Kayeen got greedy and forgot about why they were doing this project. So they setup the cult of Moloch (which is their "controlled royalty" scam) and have been manipulating us toward their goals since.
That said, RD is also not a fan of Trump and he's kind of a dick. But mke of it what you will. I think there's enough points behind it that it is compelling enough to discuss.
Curious, how does this fit with evolution?
Big evolution didn't happen. Micro-evolution does happen, as it has been directly observed.
When you ask scientists how all these types of animals appeared, they say things like the earth has been here billions of years, therefore plenty of time for random mutations to come up with all these kinds of animals.
But almost all living phyla suddenly appeared, according to the fossil record, during the "Cambrian explosion." This period was only about 20,000,000 years, not nearly enough time for evolution to have done all this.
Read Lee Strobel's book "The Case for a Creator" for a fuller explanation.
What?... That is more than enough time. Cambrian explosion was possibly due to mass extinction as well as a posibility that we cannot find pre Cambiran fossiles to link to the post Cambrian ones.
20 million years is enough time for multiple generations of competing species to rapidly evolve in refrence to material and enviroment.
We have elephants that are born without tusk due to poaching, that is some pretty quick change due to evolution.
But the elephants didn't turn into another type of animal altogether. As I said, micro-evolution happens, as it has been observed. Larger evolution hasn't been proved.
20,000,000 years is not nearly enough time for all the major types of animals to gradually develop through random mutations from the simpler previous types. We can find fossils from way before the Cambrian, but there is no series of complete links for any animal at all in the whole world. As many fossils as have been found and places searched, there ought to be a complete evolutionary series for at least one animal. But there isn't. That's because it didn't happen.
Just because we haven't found it yet doesn't mean it isn't there. I am making an example of a significant change an animal can make in under 50 years. How many other mutations until it is something else? 20,000,000 is plenty of time. We have been here for roughly 200,000. Look how advanced we are
The elephants didn't really evolve. A percentage of elephants don't have tusks anyway. If you kill the ones with tusks, you're left with a bunch of elephants without tusks, instantly. It's like if you killed all the red-headed people in the world. Of course you wouldn't have any red-headed people at that point. But more could be born soon. It's the same with the elephants. The genes for tusks didn't just disappear instantly the moment the elephants with tusks were killed.
That was just micro-evolution.
"Just because we haven't found it yet" is meaningless, as we've had countless people digging all over the world for over 100 years. You'd think that fossils proving the continuous evolution of one species to another would be found many times. Yet not a single example has been found.
Just keep waiting. You'll never see a single example series. You'll also keep seeing elephants with tusks the rest of your life.
Part 2 here:
https://greatawakening.win/p/12hRGzmmev/long-read-the-book-of-enoch-down/
Disappointed to note that almost every main response treats unbiblical sources including Enoch as having equal or greater weight compared to the Bible. I've said that Enoch should count like any human author, and although the book attributed to him (and including the one quote that the Bible verifies of him) may shed light on a rabbit hole, please stick to the Biblical revelation as the authoritative, so as not to get forum-shifted by Enoch interpreters.
The Bible shows the history as God wants us to consider it. Amplifications from Enoch must not shift our focus. Free thinkers may wish to give Enoch more weight than some other human work, but please take my warning that this is dangerous and that sticking to the Biblical canon will keep the view of this rabbit hole in correct perspective.
The description of Enoch's contents is not too far off and does have Q relevance, but u/MNisahellhole makes several implications and tie-ins that need great caution. I will affirm MN for bringing it to light, but am hopeful that these observations help frame the situation for all readers. I will read and reply to Part 2 separately
1 Always interpret Scripture as literal before considering additional interpretations. Rejecting literality admits great risk of error.
2 I already explained: always interpret any other book as any human work. Fan fiction is a great category for Enoch.
3 For hybrid sex and “fallen” offspring (Nephilim, literally), Genesis 6 is authoritative. The fundamentalist interpretation of “sons of God” allows these to be demons and giants, and the phrase “also afterward” indicates this can still be a current problem.
4 For giants generally, Deuteronomy 2 includes Moses’s authoritative current lists of giants (Emim, Anakim, Rephaim, Horites, Zamzummim, Avvim); trace these names through Scripture. He reasons that Israel can dispossess the Canaanites, who were overcome by the Nephilim infiltration, the same way others destroyed these giants.
5 Of course the demons and giants would claim authority for inventions. Don’t believe this fake news; all knowledge comes from God and he always gives the righteous enough to compete with the wicked short-circuiting the process via demonic manifestation.
6 Those called “elohim” (“judges”, a title shared with Yahweh the only supreme Judge) are clearly the good angels and not demigods. There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.
7 “Three thousand ells” is obviously an exaggeration, but nothing in Scripture is exaggerated; for Goliath, it gives what Guinness calls the credible height of six cubits and a span (9.5 feet; Robert Wadlow was 9 feet). For giants interacting with humans, see Daniel 2:43 ("they will mix by the seed of men", ESV margin) and 1-2 Samuel passim.
8 Michael and Gabriel are from the Bible. Raphael and Uriel are from the Talmud and are only provisionally stipulated characters.
9 The subject of pixies should be considered within demonology generally because there are no pixies proclaiming Yahweh and Jesus. The subject of dragons should be considered within cryptozoology because dinosaurs fit the bill and Job 41:18-21 clearly says they can breathe fire (supported by other passages).
10 Biblical references to being “below the earth” (literally, “underground”) do not give credence to earth being other than altitude flights observe it to be, a spheroid. There may be a spiritual connection, but the clear physical connection is Revelation 9 clearly identifying the rise of demons with volcanic upheaval (release of fire and smoke; compare Joel 1:1-2:27).
11 The ability of demons to appear physically is consistent with Jesus’s ability when he appeared as a theophany, the “angel of Yahweh”. The ability of Nephilim to be born physically is consistent with (though an extreme perversion of) the ability of Jesus to be born physically by the Holy Spirit coming upon his mother Mary.
12 All attempts at suggesting extraterrestrials or other supernatural phenomena can be boiled down to the work of either God personally or his created beings, fallen or righteous men or angels. Don’t believe “the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders” (the Denver murals are fake news); believe the revealed word of God (2 Thessalonians 2:9).
13 Genetic modification is hinted at in Genesis 6 and clearer in Revelation 9 (two species described), and is consistent with the GMO of today, including SARS-CoV-2. The flood, and Noah being described as “blameless in his generation” (also meaning “in his genealogy”), indicate that the Ark was designed only for genetically unmodified humans and animals.
14 The fallen elohim (demons) did leave evidence of their stay, but scientists today reject any that shows them as demons, and prefer evidence of “extraterrestrials” instead. Knowledge of these things is taught in the Bible and is not secret, but liberal theologians today reject any that challenges their experience, and prefer nonliteral interpretation instead.
15 The Georgia Guidestones do hint at a NWO (novus ordo seclorum) plan to reduce population, and I can confirm the anagram bears the marks of intent (it’s the only common 2-word result; but you misspelled the misspelling “pseudonyn” as “psudonyn”). Recall that the fallen “sought out many schemes” (Ecclesiastes 7:29), and genocide and rapture are only two of Satan’s possible plans, because he doesn’t know what is coming.
16 The U.S. military’s self-revelation will be Biblical and presumably honoring of God, but the primary paradigm is the nine plagues we’ve been through last year, and the final plague, release of the captives, and crossing of the Red Sea still to come (not yet the rapture). Do not assume that the rapture will be anything other than what God through Paul says it is: a final catching up of those faithful to Jesus, to be with him forever.
17 Time travel and “astral” travel should be considered in light of the experiences of prophets; quantum theory should be considered in light of all things holding together in Jesus; ray powers should be considered in the light of Biblical miracles (like the two witnesses striking people with fire “from their mouths”, meaning at their words); and the like. Paradise is nearer than you think, in your heart and in your mouth; do not settle for an inaccessible paradise of fan fiction that cannot be walked into immediately upon your confessing and believing Jesus as Lord.
If you’re going to use this many red pills, to prevent side effects, please see what the Bible says first. It addressed these subjects for all time before they occurred to you to ask. Jesus wins.
It looks like I will be doing updates. Lol Thanks for all the feedback!
