ENOCH: THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL FALLEN ANGELS
Angels make frequent appearances in the holy scriptures and continue to play an active role in the popular imagination. While many people believe that these beings are either symbolic or supernatural figures, others believe that angels could be extra-terrestrials. The Book of Enoch gives an intriguing view on this controversial position.
While most people associated angels with the Christian faith, they are actually a mainstay of many ancient cultural traditions. Many of the earliest known civilizations in the Near East, including the ancient Sumerians, the Babylonians, and the Egyptians had their own narratives surrounding angelic beings. These beings tended to manifest themselves as beings with wings which served as the agents of higher gods. The higher gods utilized the angels as messengers and watchers who would visit the Earthly dimension at their behest.
