Archangels: Hebrew Names & What They Do | Ep 12 Book of Enoch Bible Study

The seven archangels are GOD’s top commanders, so learning about the names HE gave them and the jobs they do help us learn more about GOD our Father. In this episode, we take a look at each of the archangels’ names in Paleo Hebrew and discuss their roles.

This is part 12 of our in-depth study of the Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch). In this series, we’re reading through the entire Book of Enoch, providing commentary on each chapter, and discussing parallel Scriptures from the Bible. This episode covers Enoch chapters 20-21. Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy.

Transcript:

Carlos: Okay, welcome to chapter 20 of Hanoch.

Dawson: The book of Enoch.

Carlos: Otherwise known as Enoch. Now, if you’re listening to us, you are a direct descendant of Hanoch. Enoch.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen?

Dawson: Amen.

Carlos: So, welcome to the family.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: We’re all cousins.

Dawson: So, in this chapter, Enoch is going to be giving us the names and a little glimpse into the duties of Father’s archangels.

Carlos: There’s a lot of videos, a lot of teachings on the bad angels.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: But I like when Father says, let not the wicked be remembered.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: So, we’re going over the good angels.

Dawson: Yes. And we’re actually going to take a look at their names in the original Hebrew. So, it’s going to…

Carlos: In the original Hebrew, that matters.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: Amen?

Dawson: A couple of arguments we’re going to have to have when it comes to some of the letters that are used, but we’ll get to all of that. Before we do that, in case you’re not familiar with Paleo-Hebrew, with the original Hebrew, I just wanted to show you real quick how simple Father’s alphabet is. So, the first verse of chapter 20, it says, “And these are the names of the holy angels who watch.” Now, in ancient Hebrew, the letters are pictographs. So, they’re pictures of things that we know and recognize.

So, my question for you, it’s a little bit of a pop quiz. In the word for watcher, would you think that there would be either this symbol, which is the symbol for an eye and the letter ayin in Hebrew, or this symbol, which is the symbol for a shepherd’s staff and is the letter lamed? So, what do you think?

Carlos: Definitely ayin for watching.

Dawson: Yes, ayin for watcher.

Carlos: This (points to lamed symbol) is for leading.

Dawson: Yes. So, that’s how simple Father’s alphabet is, and so you won’t be too lost as we go through each of these names of our Father’s archangels.

Carlos: There we go. It’s that simple.

Dawson: Yeah. I want to start off with …

Carlos: So, I want to say something before we get into it. These angels, they hold things in position. They hold skies in position.

Dawson: So, each one has different tasks that Father has chosen for them to do, and you’re a better person to speak on this than I am because …

Carlos: We love her voice.

Dawson: Well, if you think about, like, one of Father’s names is the Lord of Hosts, and another word for hosts is armies. So, these are His top commanders.

Carlos: Amen. So, they hold everything together, and four of them are always in his presence.

Dawson: Yes. We’re going to get to those four down the line, and some of the archangels are in the list of four, but first off, Enoch is going to give us a list of seven archangels.

Carlos: Here we go.

Dawson: Chapter 20, verse 1, “And these are the names of the holy angels who watch. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is over the world and over Tartarus.”

Carlos: Okay, now, quick note, Tartarus is Greek.

Dawson: Okay.

Carlos: You’ll find it in the New Testament.

Dawson: Yes. So, Peter actually talks about Tartarus, and he says that that is the place of holding for the fallen angels. So, what Enoch is telling us here is that Uriel is in charge of this place of holding for those fallen angels who sinned.

Carlos: Now, we’re going to find something ironic up ahead.

Dawson: What’s that?

Carlos: As we go into this name – Tartarus is a place of darkness, and of holding, and no light.

Dawson: Okay. Uriel’s name, it means “light of God.”

Carlos: Now, no, that’s going to be like the angel that is in charge of light, who’s named after light.

Dawson: That is ironic.

Carlos: Is in charge of Tartarus.

Dawson: Okay.

Carlos: You know, they get no light.

Dawson: Wow.

Carlos: He guards over them so they get no light.

Dawson: Okay. So, this first letter here is the letter alef, which is a picture of the bull. And the next letter is the letter resh, which is a picture of a man’s head. And this word right here means light.

Carlos: “Or.” Now, I always like to mention with this, when we read in Exodus, the people are going through the wilderness, and these snakes that light up go after them. Or nachash, snake, golden snakes, or lighted snakes.

Dawson: We’re going to talk a little bit about nachash in a bit, when we get to another one of the archangels. So, this part of his name, and “el,” the ending of Uriel, is actually in all seven of these angels’ names, because these are Father’s chief guys.

Carlos: Chief archangels. Amen.

Dawson: Yeah. So, the name El, which in English gets translated as God, it’s actually a picture of how Father is our chief shepherd. The letter alef is used all throughout Hebrew words to mean chief, as a bull is something that is strong.

Carlos: Chief, leader.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Chief, shepherd.

Dawson: This is, yeah, the shepherd’s crook. And so, that’s what His name means. So, Uriel’s name, put it all together, and you could translate it as one of two things. One would be light of God. But also, the letter yod is used to mean “my”. And so, this could be my light is God.

Carlos: Amen. Or light of God.

Dawson: Or light of God. Uriel.

Carlos: Whichever it needs to be. It might be used one way, or it might be used another, but depending on the words before and after, we’ll let you know.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: So, it’s an amazing name for an angel, isn’t it?

Dawson: Yeah, it is. And it’s interesting what you said, because he’s in charge of this place of great darkness. Another one of his jobs that we’re going to read about later in Enoch is he is in charge of the luminaries.

Carlos: There we go.

Dawson: So, he gets some of both.

Carlos: Now, I’d like to say now, an angel in charge of light, amen, he could have light create, and he could take the light away from those in Tartarus. He’s in charge. Switch on, switch off.

Dawson: So, yeah.

Carlos: Uriel.

Dawson: Yeah. They’ve been given authority by Father to do what He wants done in heaven and on earth.

Carlos: And below.

Dawson: And below.

Carlos: Tartarus is mentioned below.

Dawson: Yeah. Verse 3, “Raphael, one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men.” Now, later in the book of Enoch, it’s going to tell us another thing about Raphael, which is that he is the one who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men.

Carlos: Look at that.

Dawson: Which makes perfect sense with his name, because his name means God heals.

Carlos: Amen. And we’ve been praying for some of you, and we’re hearing some pretty good reports, because Father hears our prayers. Amen?

Dawson: Amen. Okay, so Raphael is spelled with a resh, which is the letter, this letter here, it’s a picture of a man’s head. The second letter is a peh.

Carlos: Or a feh.

Dawson: Or a feh, which is a picture of the mouth. And then alef. And as I mentioned earlier, all the names end with “El”, which maybe I’ll just leave El on here. Got to draw a nice alef for Father’s name. That’s as good as I got.

Carlos: Pretty good.

Dawson: Okay. So, this we know means El, means God. And Rapha means he heals.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: So, who heals?

Carlos: God heals. God heals.

Dawson: Raphael.

Carlos: Now we learned in our Paleo-Hebrew letters, this could be a peh or a feh.

Dawson: Right.

Carlos: And a double-edged sword is a peh-feh.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Two of these.

Dawson: Yeah. So, when – you know, the name Rapha, the word Rapha is kind of a cool picture, because if you think of a wound, it’s an opening (peh). So, some part of you, right, you (resh), has been opened (peh), and Father strengthens it (alef). Like He seals you up and He heals you up. Rapha.

Carlos: Amen. Rapha.

Dawson: Verse 4, “Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries.”

Carlos: Okay. Now, you know, those who walk with Father and have Yashua in your heart and are moved by the Spirit and you’re prophetic and so forth. We’ve seen healings, signs, wonders. We live in a world where we’re always praising Father and saying hallelujah, but just hearing the name of this archangel, what He does sets us back a little bit. Amen?

Dawson: You know, yeah, we’re going to read some scriptures that relate to this name because one thing that you’ve always taught me since the day I met you, oh, so many decades ago, is that Father is love and He’s all this stuff, but He’s also judgment and He is justice.

Carlos: Amen. He is just.

Dawson: He is mercy, but He is also judgment. So, He tells us to be like Him, right? He’s not merciful to everybody. He does place judgment. He places fallen angels in Tartarus because that’s where He wants them to be because that is the result of their sin.

Carlos: He didn’t pardon.

Dawson: He didn’t pardon.

Carlos: He didn’t pardon. Now we got …

Dawson: We have a little guest here.

Carlos: A little guest. Lucky came in. She might hit the camera.

Dawson: Okay. No, we’re going to get a shot of Lucky real quick.

Carlos: Oh, we are? Okay. Come here, baby.

Dawson: She’s leaving.

Carlos: Come here. Come here. You’re going to have to get a shot. Now, here she is.

Dawson: This is the Original Hebrew dog right here, Lucky the dog.

Carlos: There you go.

Dawson: So, Raguel, this is a very interesting name because it doesn’t have a G in it. In Hebrew, the letter G is gimmel, but there’s no gimmel in Raguel.

Carlos: Does that have to do with the Nigerian …?

Dawson: No. Actually, it has to do with the Hebrew letter ayin. Now, in some translations, you will see his name Reuel, but the reason here it says Raguel is because the theory goes that this letter ayin at one point in time used to be pronounced aying, like with an “eeng” sound. And so, you are familiar with Sodom and Gomorrah. In Hebrew, it’s actually Sodom and Omorrah. Gaza is actually Aza.

Carlos: There you go.

Dawson: So, the G in English.

Carlos: Goliath is Goliath.

Dawson: Goliath is Goliath, yes. So, this name Raguel or Reuel or Ruel as I’m going to call him

for the rest of the show.

Carlos: I’m about to say, it’s…

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: I’m going with Ruel.

Dawson: Ruel.

Carlos: Now, what is Reu? Reu is a root word.

Dawson: Reu is actually one of our forefathers. So, Reu is the son of Peleg.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: Yes. And there are actually people in the Bible named Reuel.

Carlos: There you go.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: Now, here’s another one of those.

Dawson: Okay.

Carlos: Just to think about it.

Dawson: Yeah. Now …

Carlos: Now, in the days of Peleg.

Dawson: Okay.

Carlos: What happened?

Dawson: The earth was – the Tower of Babel. The earth was divided.

Carlos: Tower of Babel.

Dawson: That’s what we believe.

Carlos: It was divided. And we believe that’s when they came back before the flood and after the flood.

Dawson: The fallen angels came back and produced some more Nephilim.

Carlos: Hence you have Nimrod and so forth. But what does this angel do?

Dawson: Ruel takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries. So …

Carlos: There you go.

Dawson: Now …

Carlos: I got a feeling.

Dawson: Now, okay. Keep in mind what Ruel’s job is because we’re going to talk about the root word for his name. There are two words in Hebrew that are spelled resh ayin. And they are as polar opposite as could be. The first one is friend. And it’s also translated some places as shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd. The Lord is my ro’eh is the way you say that. But this letter, this word, these letters together also produce the word “ra,” which means evil, calamity, disaster, bad.

Carlos: Pain.

Dawson: Pain. All kinds of bad stuff.

Carlos: Pain.

Dawson: Yeah. So, they’re two completely separate words. And like Carlos was saying, it always depends on context. You have to read things in context.

Carlos: Before and after.

Dawson: What comes before and what comes after.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: So, you could make the argument. I don’t think Peleg would have named his son something to do with evil. However, this archangel, his job is to take vengeance on the luminaries. And so yeah. This word is translated also not just as evil but as calamity and as disaster. So, I wanted to read you a couple scriptures using the word “ra”. And how Father talks about that he’s the one that produces “ra”. Isaiah 45:7 says, this is Father talking, “I form the light and create the darkness. I bring prosperity and create ra. I, the Lord, do all these things.” Amos 3:6 says, “Is a trumpet blown in a city and the people are not afraid? Does disaster, does ra come to a city unless the Lord has done it?”

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: Yeah. So, my thought… you can look at this name two ways.

Carlos: The side of Father we never want to meet.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Right?

Dawson: You can look at it two ways. This name could mean friend of God or it could mean calamity of God. And since his job is to take vengeance on Father’s enemies, I would say that that’s probably more true to the meaning of his name.

Carlos: Calamity.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: Amen. So it’s a wonderful way of looking at Father. We know Him this way. When we go to Bible studies, fellowship, Father loves us. His angels love us. But they have a job to do. And Father is God Almighty, YHVH. Amen?

Dawson: Amen. Verse 5, “Michael, one of the holy angels to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos.”

Carlos: Look at that.

Dawson: Now, before we get into the first part of his name, that explanation that Enoch just gave, some manuscripts do not include the words “and over chaos”. If it is in there, it would be along the same lines as Uriel, he’s over Tartarus. Because elsewhere in Enoch, Enoch talks about places that are very chaotic. So it could be that Michael’s in charge of one of these places.

Carlos: He’s told to go along and ride along. And when he sees this place, chaos.

Dawson: Yeah. Yeah. Well, we’re going to get to that soon. So, the first part that you wanted to talk about, he that is set over the best part of mankind.

Carlos: Oh, well, that would have to be the tsadiq, the righteous. Amen.

Dawson: So, if you are Father’s children, that includes you.

Carlos: Amen. As we always mention, antichrist is coming, but he’s allowed to overcome the mighty and the holy. And people throw in the towel there. But no, he will not overcome the tsadiq. Because Michael rises up to fight for the tsadiq. Amen?

Dawson: Amen. Okay. Now, you’ll notice I am not writing his name in the same place that I wrote everyone else’s names. Because we have a little bit of a disagreement with the common interpretation of Michael’s name.

Carlos: Who disagrees here?

Dawson: Yeah. We disagree with kind of everybody. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone that has our theory on it.

Carlos: Based on our studies and what we’ve come to know as Original Hebrew.

Dawson: This yod appears to us to be …

Carlos: We have a problem.

Dawson: Yes. Appears to us to be an added vowel letter. So, in the manuscripts that we have, like from the Dead Sea Scrolls, there are added vowel letters. So, the yod has been added in a lot of cases. Vavs have been added for the “o” and the “u” sound. And the letter “hey” has been added for the “ah” sound at the end of a lot of words. So, they are not original to the Hebrew. And when you add in a letter, it changes the meaning of Father’s words.

Carlos: It’s a whole different word.

Dawson: Yes. So, this is how Michael’s name, Michael’s name, is typically spelled in your Bible. And I’m going to tell you how they interpret his name, and then we’ll tell you what we think.

Carlos: Maki.

Dawson: Okay. So, their interpretation is that his name means “who is like the Lord?”

Carlos: Which we love, which we love.

Dawson: Yeah, which is a beautiful name. So, this part, which would be pronounced “me,” is actually a Hebrew word, which means who. This letter, kaf, is used as a prefix in front of words to mean like or as. And this part, as you know, is El, which is God. Now, that’s already kind of interesting because you’ve got two words and a prefix in the name, which is kind of off-format. Right? Instead of …

Carlos: In original Hebrew, it’s off-format.

Dawson: It’s off-format. So, we do think that this (yod) is added. And we don’t think that his name means “who is like El?”

Carlos: But we love the name.

Dawson: Yes, we do. So, we would spell the name like this.

Carlos: Maki-el. Now, this is a root word here.

Dawson: Yes. So, there is a name that Father has that most people don’t like to talk about. And it’s sort of along the same lines as like Ruel that we talked about earlier. But one of our Father’s names is the “Lord who smites”.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: Yes. The Hebrew words “maki” and also “nakheh,” they come from the same root.

Carlos: The same root.

Dawson: And they mean to destroy, to smite, to – you know.

Carlos: It’s also used for hammer and club.

Dawson: To conquer, to defeat.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: So, when …

Carlos: To obliterate.

Dawson: Basically. To accomplish a great slaughter. When Joshua and those guys went to the land, you will see that word used quite a bit. Because they maki’d them with a great maki. They accomplished a great slaughter.

Carlos: Means leave none living.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: No living left. That’s what it means. I like to add where the prophet said, “I’m going to send Elijah, least I maki the world,” you know. Least I strike the world with a maki. End it.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: Amen. So, if it wasn’t for John the Baptist coming, boom.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: So, praise the Lord for our brother John that did the calling and we’re still here.

Dawson: And praise the Lord for his angel Michael who fights on our behalf.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: So, this is the warrior angel that fights with the dragon in – you know, that we read about in Revelation.

Carlos: And Michael stands up and fights the dragon for the sake of the righteous.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: For the tsadiq.

Carlos: For tsadiq.

Dawson: So yeah. You could say that.

Carlos: We don’t believe there’s a yod.

Dawson: We don’t think it’s a yod. Yeah.

Carlos: We love the name.

Dawson: Yeah. So instead of who is like El, this name could have the meaning of conqueror of El, conquest of El.

Carlos: Michael is the angel that rises up to fight.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen?

Dawson: Amen.

Carlos: So, it’s just, now this is just for, we always say for your consideration. Your salvation does not hinge on this. It’s Yashua died for your sins. He has to forgive you your sins. You shub, turned around.

Dawson: Right.

Carlos: Amen. And now He’s in your heart and the Holy Spirit is guiding you.

Dawson: Right.

Carlos: This is just, we love studying Father’s word.

Dawson: Yes. Verse six, “Saraqael, one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits who sin in the spirit.”

Carlos: Now there is another pronunciation.

Dawson: Another spelling. Yeah.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: So, some manuscripts have this name as Sariel instead of with the Q.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: And in the ancient Hebrew, that would be Sariel. So that’s the letter shin, which is a picture of the front teeth and then another resh. I’m going to try to do a better resh here.

Carlos: Even better.

Dawson: So shar, and then I didn’t leave enough room for our yod here, but there it is. So, the yod, by the way, is the picture of the arm. And just really quick, one way that you could remember that the yod sometimes means my is, you know, just stick your own arm in front of you. It’s mine. This is mine. It belongs to me.

Carlos: Amen. So, it’s Sha-ri-el. Now notice we usually get rid of the yods.

Dawson: Well, yes. It depends. It depends.

Carlos: But there’s a reason we’re keeping it.

Dawson: So, a lot of name structures follow this same format. Daniel, Ezekiel, we saw earlier with, and we’re going to see in it shortly, Remiel. And so, this yod is used all throughout Hebrew, like I said before, to mean mine and also to mean of. So, in the structure of this name, instead of like with Michael, where you’re kind of throwing in one word and then a prefix and then Father’s name to kind of make sense of it, this is a very commonly used sound and letter to have the meaning of “my” or “of”. So, the word “shar: in Hebrew means commander.

Carlos: Now some pronounce it “sar”.

Dawson: Yes. Yeah. Most people pronounce it “sar”, but it is a shin. So, we pronounce it “shar”. When you hear that He is the Lord of Lords, it’s actually shar of sharim.

Carlos: Shar sharim.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: So, this name could have the meaning of my commander is God or commander of God. Not in the sense that Sariel is commander over God, but he is commander, made a commander by decree of Father.

Carlos: He’s given the rank.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen. And the pay scale.

Dawson: And the pay scale. Yeah.

Carlos: All the way he goes in and he has got authority.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: Amen. So, we like to pronounce it Sa-riel.

Dawson: Or Shariel. Either way.

Carlos: Shariel. Either way is good. Now a lot of people get – they start splitting hairs on …

Dawson: Yeah, we don’t

Carlos: Sha or sha.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: It’s peace in the name of Yashua. If it’s that important, we’ll find out when the prophets tell us.

Dawson: Right.

Carlos: Amen?

Dawson: Amen.

Carlos: But in the meantime, peace.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: You know, there’s not to contend about this, to have a – just to feast in the Lord.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: In his words.

Dawson: Verse seven, Gabriel, one of the holy angels who is over paradise and the serpents and the cherubim.

Carlos: Whoa, we got to stop there. It said serpents.

Dawson: Made me drop my chalk.

Carlos: It says serpents. So, peace.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Peace unto the children of our Father. Let’s learn a word here.

Dawson: Okay.

Carlos: Nechoshet.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Nechoshet. Now it’s basically the word for snake, nachash, with a tav at the end.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen? So, see it’s, take it easy, don’t stampede. Some people, soon as you say snake.

Dawson: Okay. So, this is the word nachash, which means snake. And then this is the word nechoshet, which means bronze.

Carlos: Bronze, a little bit more reflective.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: My glasses reflective. They have a nechoshet reflection to them.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: Glistening.

Carlos: Yeah. It’s the word snake, a glistening snake. You know how they glisten?

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: With a tav. Anything, apply to anything that glistens.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen?

Dawson: Yes. So, when Ezekiel and when Daniel talk about seeing Father’s angels, they describe those angels as having the appearance of nechoshet, of having the appearance of something bronze, burnished bronze.

Carlos: Doesn’t mean they look like snakes.

Dawson: It doesn’t mean they are snakes either.

Carlos: Glisten like snakes.

Dawson: Yes. So, when it says here that Gabriel is in charge of the serpents, it’s probably more likely he’s in charge of the nechoshet, the glistening ones.

Carlos: Amen. So, let’s take a look at this Gabriel. One of the holy angels, archangels I would say, who is over paradise. Look at that.

Dawson: Yeah.

Carlos: That’s a good one. And the serpents, the nechoshet, and the cherubim. All good.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: Amen?

Dawson: Yeah. And later on, Enoch is going to say that Gabriel is in charge of the powers. And powers is another name that Yashua uses and also Enoch uses to describe Father’s angels. So very mighty, very mighty angel. And that is actually in his name as well because this word here, gabar, it means mighty man.

Carlos: It does.

Dawson: Yeah. They use the – some pronounce it geber.

Carlos: Geber is another pronunciation.

Dawson: Okay. And it is a real word, isn’t it?

Carlos: Yes, it is.

Dawson: Amen. So, Gabriel is a mighty man of God.

Carlos: Now in Hebrew, Gavri’el.

Dawson: Yeah. Another way you could translate His name is God, El, strengthens.

Carlos: Amen, that’s a new one.

Dawson: Yeah, He makes strong. The last archangel that Enoch describes here in Chapter 20 is Remiel. So, verse 8, “Remiel, one of the holy angels, whom God set over those who rise.:

Carlos: Rise. Now how do you pronounce the word “rise”?

Dawson: Rum.

Carlos: Rum.

Dawson: So, his …

Carlos: Resh, mem.

Dawson: Yes. So resh is the picture of men’s profile, men’s head and this letter mem is a picture of waters. So, the same way waves lift up ships, the letter mem is used in Hebrew words to mean to lift up, to cause to rise, and …

Carlos: And there happens to be a yod.

Dawson: Yes, there’s a yod.

Carlos: Now normally, we really try to get rid of all vowels. But here …

Dawson: If it’s not original to the word, then we get rid of it.

Carlos: But here it fits.

Dawson: Yes, it does. It makes sense. So, Remiel.

Carlos: Remi-el.

Dawson: This is the root word “rum” which means rise. It also means to lift up, to exalt. So, it says that he’s in charge of those who rise, those who are exalted, those – how would you explain that?

Carlos: Those who sing songs unto the Lord and praise, those who worship the Lord. I believe those who are in the Spirit, especially now they’re really praising the Lord and it’s just worshipping Father.

Dawson: Okay. So, you could say the lifting up or the rising of God or my rum, like that which makes me rise is El.

Carlos: It might even be when he blows the trumpet, he causes us to rise and by – be Remiel.

Dawson: He might be blowing the trumpet that day. Who knows?

Carlos: Amen. Those who sleep in Yashua, they’re in paradise but they will be told to rise and go to the city of God.

Dawson: Yeah, it does say he’s going to send out the angels to the four corners of the earth to gather His people.

Carlos: There you go. It might be Remiel…

Dawson: Maybe Remiel is one of them.

Carlos: There’s one of the angels that might be doing it.

Dawson: So that’s actually it for the angels’ names. Some manuscripts at the end of this chapter 20, they have a line that says “the names of the seven archangels.” So, the term “archangels” is something that we see in the New Testament but not in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, it’s possible that the word “archangels” is from the Hebrew “Ha’sharim ha’rishonim.” So sharim as we talked about earlier, shar is the root. It means commander. Rishonim is like the chiefs, the chief leaders, the chief commanders.

Carlos: Amen.

Dawson: We’re going to read through chapter 21 before we end the video.

Carlos: Let’s do it.

Dawson: And now chapter 21, it sounds to me like a repeat of something that we read before.

Carlos: As we said, as we read more of Enoch – I love saying Hanoch.

Dawson: Yes.

Carlos: You know, you call it what you want. If we read Hanoch, it clarifies some of what we read before or adds to.

Dawson: Yeah. So, chapter 21, verse 1, “And I proceeded to where things were chaotic.” So that could be one of the places that Michael is in charge of. “And I saw there something horrible. I saw neither a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible and there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together in it like great mountains and burning with fire. Then I said, ‘For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in hither?’

Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, and was chief over them and said: ‘Enoch, why do you ask and why are you eager for the truth?’ These are the number of the stars of heaven which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and are bound here until 10,000 years, the time entailed by their sins, are consummated. And from thence, I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing, a great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire: neither its extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. Then I said, ‘How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!’

Then Uriel answered me, one of the holy angels who was with mee, and said to me, ‘Enoch, why hast though such fear and affright?’ And I answered: ‘Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of pain.’ And he said unto me: ‘This place is the prison of the angels, and here they will be imprisoned forever.’”

Now as we talked about earlier, the place where the angels are in prison forever is in Tartarus, which is what we’re going to be talking about next time around: Tartarus, Sheol, all of these different places in the Old and New Testaments and in Enoch.

Carlos: I always imagined angels held there and they all got their wings and their arms up like “let us out!” – you know it just means a place of holding, like a hardened shell, like a turtle, a hard shell, it’s – they’re in there. Ten thousand years. We might learn later what that means. But right now, any info?

Dawson: I still don’t know. I told you guys a couple of episodes ago I don’t know, and I still don’t know after reading that.

About the series: Our Book of Enoch Bible Study series offers a down-to-earth look at this often sensationalized text. Instead of focusing mainly on fallen angels, our goal is to learn the heart of our Father and gain understanding of the Old and New Testament Scriptures that parallel Enoch’s words. Throughout this series, we’ll read together and discuss:

• Life before the Flood
• How sin and transgression caused GOD to destroy His creation,
• Enoch’s epic prophecies covering the history of humanity and Israel,
• The many passages in Enoch that point to YASHUA HA MASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST),
• The ancient calendar of Israel,
• End-times prophecies and how Father will protect us through the days to come, and
• What life will be like in Millennium.

Enoch is a remarkably full book that sheds light on everything from Genesis to Revelation, so, in our view, to understand Enoch is to better understand the entire Bible.
