Mount Hermon and
the Benéi Elohim

The story of “angels” [i.e., benéi Elohim] descending to Mount Hermon is a fascinating one, steeped in ancient texts and legends. Remembering that those who translated the ancient Hebrew manuscripts, both sacred and secular, into Greek, lumped all the “white hat” spirit beings into “angels” and all the “black hat” spirit beings into “demons,” let’s explore the idea:

  1. Mount Hermon:
    • View of snow-capped Mount HermonMount Hermon is a mountain cluster located in the Tel Dan region of upper Galilee, extending through Caesarea Philippi. It has long been associated with sacred sites of both Jewish and pagan origin.
    • According to the Book of Enoch, it was at Mount Hermon that 200 fallen angels descended to Earth, leaving their rightful station in heaven.[1]
    • This primordial drama unfolded in a narrowly circumscribed geographical region, emphasizing the significance of this location.[1]
  2. The Fallen Angels:
    • Location of Mount Hermon and Caesarea PhilippiIn the Book of Enoch, these rebel angels descended at Mount Hermon during the days of Jared. Their purpose was to corrupt humanity, leading to the birth of the Nephilim, a race of giants.[1]
    • The angels bound themselves to fulfill their purpose on the penalty of Herem, anathema.[2]
    • Their actions were part of a diabolical plan orchestrated by Lucifer to corrupt the pure bloodline of humankind.[3]
  3. Enoch’s Vision:
    • Enoch, sitting by the waters of Dan (southwest of Hermon), received a dream and visions of chastisement. He was instructed to deliver a message of judgment against the fallen angels.[1]
    • The location near Abel beth Maacah [MAP] (between Lebanon and Senir) became significant for this purpose.[1]
  4. Symbolism and Significance:
    • Mount Hermon serves as a gateway between heaven and earth, reminiscent of Jacob’s dream at Bethel (Genesis 28), where angels ascended and descended.[1]
    • The northern setting of Enoch’s vision stood in opposition to the earthly and corrupt priesthood and Temple system based in Jerusalem.[1]

In summary, Mount Hermon holds a pivotal place in ancient texts, where “angels” descended, and their actions shaped human history. It remains a site of mystery and spiritual significance.[1], [3,] [2]
