Returning to Gehenna

Watchers in the Old Testament

This is the only account of the Watchers in the Bible. Isaiah 14:12-15 talks of the fall of the
"day-star, son of morning," which implies that there was a revolt, and the "day-star" was cast into
the abyss, but this may be a reference to early Canaanite or Phoenician myths. One other possible reference is Psalm 82.


The parts of the Psalm I have left out are the parts that refer to wicked earthly rulers, but it is
agreed upon by many scholar
s that this part of the Psalm refers to the fallen angels. While Genesis 6 tells that angels married women, it does not condemn this as a sin. Psalm 82 tells that the elohim sinned, but does not tell how (i.e. it does not mention that they married women). It may have
been that the angels sinned by reproducing. Certain passages in Jewish Midrash talk of how angels
are immortal and do not need to reproduce. Because humans are not, they must reproduce in
order to achieve immortality in their descendents.
