The
Enochian Rapture
Kristopher
Shoemaker – Yehudah ben Shomeyr
And Enoch walked
with God: and he was not; for God took him. – Gen. 5:24
This is perhaps one of
the most baffling and mysterious passages in the Bible. The obvious question on
everyone’s mind is, “What does that verse really
mean!?”
Well, let’s take a look
at some more bizarre passages in the Bible, as well as some extra-biblical
literature and see if we can possibly piece together the meaning of Genesis
5:24.
And it came to
pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were
born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 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. There were giants in the earth in those days;
and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old,
men of renown. – Gen. 6:1-4
The “sons of God” in
this verse refer to heavenly beings, some call angels, others call “Watchers,”
and or former members of God’s Divine Counsel. They rebelled against God, came
to earth and had hybrid children with these human women, specifically the
descendants of Ham; the Canaanites. Hence the reason God wanted all the
Canaanites wiped out when Israel came in to conquer the land. Their DNA was
corrupted and they were no longer fully human and therefore could not be
redeemed by the coming of the future Messiah, for He was born of a human virgin
women and not an angelic-human hybrid. He
came to redeem mankind, not fallen angels or their offspring.
And the angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day– Jude 1:6
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but
cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be
reserved unto judgment; - 2 Peter 2:4
Jude and Peter were quoting from the Book of Enoch (passages
which I have quoted below). Enoch was read by and held in high esteem among the
Jewish Believers of the first century.
“Stars
of the Host of Heaven” is an idiom for these fallen heaven beings we are
speaking of.
The
word “hell” in 2 Peter 2:4 is the Greek word, “Tartarus” which is the Abyss
that separates the two compartments of Sheol (hell/hades/grave/the underworld),
one for the righteous dead and the other for the unrighteous dead which we see
pictured in Yeshua’s story about Lazarus and the Rich Man. Abraham’s Bosom for
the righteous and “hell” or in Hebrew “Gehenna” for the unrighteous. This
Tartarus, this Abyss is where the rebellious fallen angels are imprisoned.
It
is believed that Enoch was sent by God to pronounce judgement upon these unrepentant,
fallen heavenly beings who pawned themselves off as gods to the masses. After
which it is believed that he was transfigured (like in I Cor. 15:51-54) and
taken up alive by God into heaven before these fallen beings could retaliate
against him and because his mission on earth was finished and God did not want
to leave him behind for other fallen heavenly beings that had not been
imprisoned and were still on the loose to get their revenge for their comrades
by killing Enoch.
We see in the Apostolic Scriptures that Enoch
returned to the very place he was supposedly was sent to pronounce judgement
upon these fallen “sons of God.” For the place where these rebellious heavenly
agents descended to earth when they fell was Mount Hermon, the same as the
Mount of Transfiguration (Matt. 17, Mark 9). By Yeshua and Enoch being on this
mountain at that time sent a message to the fallen angels that were not
imprisoned that their days were numbered and that He, Yeshua, had come to
reclaim mankind from them and their influence and He was going to achieve this
through obedience to the Law of God, which is why I believe Moses was present
too.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints, To
execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of
all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard
speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. – Jude 1:14-15
Here Jude cites Enoch in reference to Messiah’s
final return and judgement upon fallen angels and mankind, ultimately
fulfilling what He set out to do when He was transfigured upon Mount Hermon.
Notice too, Jude quotes Enoch and equates the LORD with Yeshua!
