16 child's fable about Jack and the Beanstalk? Obviously, these huge giants completely disrupted the ecosphere, and became a curse to habitat earth. Fear, dread and terror would have been rampant, as their appetites turned from fleshly animals to cannibalism -- human flesh and blood itself! As the giant in the nursery rhyme said: "Fee, fie, foe, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!" "And Azaz'el [Hebrew, meaning "strong one or goat who goes away, or disappears", another name for Satan the adversary] taught the people (the art of) making swords and knives, and shields and breastplates; and he showed to their chosen ones bracelets, decorations, (shadowing of the eye) with antimony, ornamentation, the beautifying of the eyelids, all kinds of precious stones, and all coloring tinctures and alchemy. And there were many wicked ones and they committed adultery and erred, and all their conduct became corrupt" (Enoch 8:1-2). The people of the earth groaned under the oppression which resulted from the tyranny and brutality of the new "overlords" of the earth. They cried out to God, "You see what Azaz'el has done; how he has taught all (forms of) oppression upon the earth. And they revealed eternal secrets which are performed in heaven (and which) man learned.

According to the story, God then sent an angel to warn Noah, "Hide yourself!" He told him of the coming deluge to destroy all life that had corrupted its way upon the earth. God instructed Noah what he needed to do to preserve his life, and his progeny. And then, we read: "And secondly the Lord said to Raphael, 'Bind Azaz-el hand and foot (and) throw him into the darkness!’ And he made a hole in the desert which was in Duda’el and cast him there; he threw on top of him rugged and sharp rocks. And he covered his face in order that he may not see light; and in order that he may be sent into the fire on the great day of judgment" (see Enoch 10:1-6). What will the punishment be of the wicked angels who followed Azal-el or Satan into rebellion and lawlessness? God says: "And give life to the earth which the angels have corrupted. And he will proclaim life for the earth: that he is giving life to her. And all the children of the people will not perish through all the secrets (of the angels), which they taught to their sons. And the whole earth had been corrupted by Azaz'el's teaching of his (own ) actions; and WRITE UPON HIM ALL SIN. And to Gabriel the LORD said, 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates and against all the children of adultery; and destroy the children of adultery and expel the children of the Watchers from among the "Fee, fie, foe, fum, I smell the blood of an There may be more to this old "legend" than we have been told!
