As we have seen in other pages of this study, orthodox carnivorous Judaism with its animal sacrifices is a heresy against the vegetarian covenant of Genesis 1: 29, a covenant which even rabbis of the Jewish orthodoxy readily admit was the initial dietary covenant for humans to follow.  And "Revelations" acknowledges a time when the morality of Genesis 1: 30 is likewise accepted, for the Final Days are a time when there is no sorrow, death or mourning, in fact a time when no creature oppresses another.

    The place of worship of orthodox Jews is described as a "synagogue of Satan," because Judaism in fact manifests the religion of the demon Azazel, who in the Ethiopic Book of Enoch taught humans how to make weapons and sacrifice animals.  Azazel is the fallen angel condemned in that Book.  After the verses establishing the original vegetarian dietary covenant between Deity and all creatures in the first chapter of Genesis, in the second chapter we have a description of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Then, in verses 10 through 12, we have mining not only introduced, but sanctioned.  And there is a conscious echo of the "And God saw that it was good" refrain that was notable in the first chapter:

And there was a river coming out of Eden to water the garden, forming four different rivers. The name of the first is Pishon: It circles the entire land of Havilah, where gold exists.  And the gold there is good. There also is the bdellium gum and the onyx. Genesis 2: 10-12.

1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them... Chapter 8, Book of Enoch, R. H. Charles

"And the whole earth has been corrupted  through the works
that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin."

And Uriel said to me: 'Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods..." Chapter 19: 1, Ethiopic Book of Enoch, ed. by R. H. Charles.

 And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.  7: 5

1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them... Chapter 8, Book of Enoch, R. H. Charles

 Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven... 9: 6

 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening 5 in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may 6,7 not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the 8 Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons.  Chapter 10, Book of Enoch.

1 And Enoch went and said: 'Azazel, thou shalt have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth 2 against thee to put thee in bonds: And thou shalt not have toleration nor request granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness 3 and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men.' Then I went and spoke to them all 4 together, and they were all afraid, and fear and trembling seized them. And they besought me to draw up a petition for them that they might find forgiveness, and to read their petition in the presence 5 of the Lord of heaven. For from thenceforward they could not speak (with Him) nor lift up their 6 eyes to heaven for shame of their sins for which they had been condemned. Then I wrote out their petition, and the prayer in regard to their spirits and their deeds individually and in regard to their 7 requests that they should have forgiveness and length. Chapter 13.
 

1 And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning 2 fire. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley. 3 And there mine eyes saw how they made these their instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight. 4 And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ' For whom are these chains being prepared ? ' And he said unto me: ' These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded. 6 And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.' Chapter 54

   There is no doubt whatsoever that the morality of the Book of Enoch is also the morality of John of Patmos and "Revelations."  Only the orthodox Jew, the orthodox Christian, and the orthodox Sunni Muslim would deny that it is true, and that is because these orthodoxies clearly manifest the same demonic influence on the face of the earth.  For one thing, they all sacrifice animals, which is a lose/lose situation, the act of killing the animal being a brutal bloody atrocity for the animal, and the act of eating the animal being detrimental to the carnivore. Secondly, all of these cultures promote industry, which pollutes the air, land and water of earth, as well as wounding, displacing, enslaving and killing the creatures of earth. Thirdly, all these cultures have scriptures which promote slavery or economic elitism. These are the same demonic spirits that infest Babylon, the symbolic center of industrialism, in the "Book of Revelations."
 

   We see the spirit of evil that "once was, now is not, yet will come" in the Book of Enoch.
Some of the fallen angels, who represent the Beast Spirit, were allowed to remain on earth until the judgement.  John of Patmos was well aware of the Book of Enoch.

1 From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from the souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgement -thus shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgement in which the age shall be 2 consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly consummated."  Chapter 16]

'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening 5 in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may 6,7 not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire.  Chapter 10, Book of Enoch.

  So too the spirit of the accursed in general:

1 Then said I: 'For what object is this blessed land, which is entirely filled with trees, and this 2 accursed valley between?' Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered and said: 'This accursed valley is for those who are accursed for ever: Here shall all the accursed be gathered together who utter with their lips against the Lord unseemly words and of His glory speak hard things. Here shall they be gathered together, and here 3 shall be their place of judgement. In the last days there shall be upon them the spectacle of righteous judgement in the presence of the righteous for ever: here shall the merciful bless the Lord of glory, the Eternal King. 4 In the days of judgement over the former, they shall bless Him for the mercy in accordance with 5 which He has assigned them (their lot).' Then I blessed the Lord of Glory and set forth His glory and lauded Him gloriously. [Chapter 27]

  Chapter 17, verse 5 of "Revelations" describes the Whore of Babylon, making her a representation of all that is evil on earth.  Her title is written on her forehead: Mystery, Babylon the Great, The Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth." This chapter also describes the beast, which "once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction."  This clearly is a reference to the condemnation of Azazel, which will be complete during the days of the final judgment.

     Few books of literature contain such an unqualified denunciation of industry as exists in the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, and "Revelations," except for the majority of verses in the Institutes of Vishnu, and the Laws of Manu.  Though these two have short sections which are compromised, allowing for animal sacrifices, they are for the most part affirmations of ahimsa or non-violence towards not only all creatures, but all plant life as well, like the Jain Sutras, and like the uncompromised teachings of the Buddha, in which all creatures deserve the respect of the human, and none are to be sacrificed, or, for that matter, in any way oppressed or enslaved.  The fact that only Jain and Buddhist and Hindu renunciates fully practice this morality does not negate the fact that this respect has spilled over into Buddhist and Hindu cultures far more than it has into the orthodox cultures of Judaism, Christianity and Sunni Islam, although this study has shown that the origins of all three of these religions were pure.

    Chapter 18 of "Revelations" needs to be studied in juxtaposition with the Ethiopic Book of Enoch in order to understand fully how the original Christians, like the original Jews and Muslims, followed the core teachings of Hinduism and Jainism, which were later rejuvenated by the reforms of the Buddha, namely, compassion for all being, which entails the realization that all beings are to be respected, and none dominated or subdued, as is sanctioned in the false scriptures of Gen. 1: 26-28, and Genesis 9.  Chapter 18 in "Revelations" unqualifiedly denounces industrial civilization just as the Book of Enoch does.

After this I saw another angel coming down fom heaven.  He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.  With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.  For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries.  The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.

Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power!  In one hour your doom has come! The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their ccargoes any more--cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flours and wheat; cattle and sheep, horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men. 18: 10-13

All your riches and splndor have vanished, never to be recovered.  The merchants who sold these thing s and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment.  They will weep and mourn and cry out: "Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious sstones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!"

   In John's day Rome was obviously considered as Babylon. In our day, New York, London, Los Angeles, and every large industrial city has been likened by its dissidents to Babylon, though New York is the city most often referred to as Babylon.  The destruction of the towers of the World Trade Center, seen also in the writings of Nostradamus, further heightened this perception of New York, center of the Stock Exchange, and the largest port city in the U.S., as Babylon.  Notice that in "Revelations" the destruction of Babylon, or industrial civilization, is regarded as a joyous occasion, for now there will no longer be the routine industrial oppression and killing of creatures, whether through industry's earth movers or excavators or through animal sacrifices, and now there will no longer be the enslavement of the poorer classes of humans by the rich mercantile classes, as has always been the case in industrial civilization

Every sea captain and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When the see the smok of her burning, they will exclaim, "Was there ever a city like this great city?" They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: "Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice saints and apostles and prohets! God has judged her for the way she treated you."

Your merchants were the world's great men.  By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.  In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth. 18: 23-24.

Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore. Chapter 10, Book of Enoch

   There is no questioning the fact that the Ethiopic Book of Enoch promotes vegetarianism and is in harmony with the vegetarian covenant of Genesis 1: 29-30.  The Book of Enoch has numerous scriptures, and some entire chapters dedicated solely to describing the vegetation that God has created for the benefit of creatures.  In the following scriptures from Chapter 10, we see the destruction of those who have mined the earth, made weapons, sacrificed animals, shed blood in general; in short, the destruction of all those who, in the words of Genesis 1: 26-28, chose to subdue the earth and have dominion over other creatures.  The only alteration which humans may be involved with is "righteous tilling," meaning, in the spirit of ahimsa that pervades the Book of Enoch, that the soil may be tilled if it does not involve the oppression of other creatures, for oppression of any sort is forbidden.

 And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because 16 they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.

17 And then shall all the righteous escape,
And shall live till they beget thousands of children,
And all the days of their youth and their old age
Shall they complete in peace.
18 And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted with trees and  be full of blessing. And all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it: and the vine which they plant thereon shall yield wine in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sown thereon each measure (of it) shall bear a thousand, and each measure of olives shall yield 20 ten presses of oil. And cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness: and all the uncleanness that is wrought upon the earth 21 destroy from off the earth. And all the children of men shall become righteous, and all nations 22 shall offer adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me. And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send (them) upon it from generation to generation and for ever
 

   The demon Mastema is seen in "Jubilees" and in "Fragments of a Zadokite Document."  Mastema teaches humans to make idols and to shed blood, that is, to sacrifice animals.  It was Mastema  who urged God to test Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. And Mastema, not God, is also said to be responsible for the Passover slayings, and it was Mastema who opposed Moses in Egypt.  In "Genesis" it is God who initiates the so-called testing of Abraham, and it is God who initiates the Passover slayings.
