Purging
In an ancient world teetering on the brink of chaos, the descendants of Adam lived extraordinary lifespans, their existence marred by a growing tide of corruption. As giants roamed the earth and lawlessness prevailed, the archangels Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel pleaded with the Most High, revealing the horrors wrought by fallen angels Azazel and Semjaza. In a divine proclamation, God resolved to purge the earth of its wickedness, sparing only the righteous Noah to restore hope and purity. Amidst cataclysmic upheaval, Noah sought counsel from his grandfather Enoch, who assured him of a future destined for holiness and eternal honor.
As the heavens raged, the Most High dispatched His angels with a relentless fury. Uriel warned Noah of the impending deluge, while Raphael and Michael bound the rebellious angels in eternal darkness. Gabriel eradicated the corrupted offspring, ensuring their self-destruction in a cataclysmic battle. With the earth purged of evil, the divine plan culminated in a promise of a renewed, righteous world, where Noah’s unwavering obedience secured the survival of humanity and the seeds of a blessed future.
In the final resolution, the Most High forged a new, righteous nature for all creation, ensuring eternal purity. Every soul was judged according to their deeds, with mercy promised to the repentant. Amid the devastation, Noah’s righteousness shone through, his unwavering faith saving his family and laying the foundation for a renewed world.

The Archangels plead with YHWH iii
Enoch 9:1-11
1 And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being
2 shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they said one to another: ‘The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their cryingst up to the gates of heaven.
3 And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying, “Bring our cause
4 before the Most High.”‘ And they said to the Lord of the ages: ‘Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, and God of the ages, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the
5 ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all
6 things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which
7 men were striving to learn: And Semjaza, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the
9 women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have
10 borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are
11 wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.’
YHWH sees the corruption of man
Genesis 6:5
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Jubilees 5:3
3 And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had corrupted its orders, and all that were upon the earth had wrought all manner of evil before His eyes.
Genesis 6:7
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Jasher 4:19
19 And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them.
Jubilees 5:4
4 And He said that He would destroy man and all flesh upon the face of the earth which He had created.
Jasher 4:20
20 And all men who walked in the ways of the Lord, died in those days, before the Lord brought the evil upon man which he had declared, for this was from the Lord, that they should not see the evil which the Lord spoke of concerning the sons of men.
Noah cries to Enoch
Enoch 65:1-12
1 And in those days Noah saw the earth that it had sunk down and its destruction was nigh.
2 And he arose from thence and went to the ends of the earth, and cried aloud to his grandfather Enoch: and Noah said three times with an embittered voice: Hear me, hear me, hear me.’
3 And I said unto him: ‘Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that the earth is in such evil plight and shaken, lest perchance I shall perish with it?’
4 And thereupon there was a great commotion, on the earth, and a voice was heard from heaven, and I fell on my face.
5 And Enoch my grandfather came and stood by me, and said unto me: ‘Why hast thou cried unto me with a bitter cry and weeping?
6 And a command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the Satans, and all their powers–the most secret ones–and all the power of those who practice sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images for the whole earth:
7 And how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal originates in the earth.
8 For lead and tin are not produced from the earth like the first: it is a fountain that produces them, and an angel stands therein, and that angel is pre-eminent.’
9 And after that my grandfather Enoch took hold of me by my hand and raised me up, and said unto me: ‘Go, for I have asked the Lord of Spirits as touching this commotion on the earth.
10 And He said unto me: “Because of their unrighteousness their judgement has been determined upon and shall not be withheld by Me for ever. Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and those who dwell upon it shall be destroyed.”
11 And these–they have no place of repentance for ever, because they have shown them what was hidden, and they are the damned: but as for thee, my son, the Lord of Spirits knows that thou art pure, and guiltless of this reproach concerning the secrets.
12 And He has destined thy name to be among the holy, And will preserve thee amongst those who dwell on the earth, And has destined thy righteous seed both for kingship and for great honours, And from thy seed shall proceed a fountain of the righteous and holy without number for ever.
Noah finds grace in the eyes of YHWH
Genesis 6:8
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Jasher 4:21
21 And Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord chose him and his children to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole earth.

5 But Noah found grace before the eyes of the Lord.
Uriel sent to Noah to reveal the coming deluge
Enoch 10:1-4a
1 Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech,
2 and said to him: ‘Go to Noah and tell him in my name “Hide thyself!” and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come
3 upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape
4a and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.’
Azazel commanded to be bound
Enoch 10:4b-8
4b And again the Lord said to Raphael: ‘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.
8 And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azâzêl: to him ascribe all sin.’
The rest of the angels commanded to be bound
Jubilees 5:6
6 And against the angels whom He had sent upon the earth, He was exceedingly wroth, and He gave commandment to root them out of all their dominion, and He bade us to bind them in the depths of the earth, and behold they are bound in the midst of them, and are (kept) separate.
The children of the angels commanded to be killed
Enoch 10:9
9 And to Gabriel said the Lord: ‘Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have.
Jubilees 5:7
7 And against their sons went forth a command from before His face that they should be smitten with the sword, and be removed from under heaven.
Enoch 10:10
10 And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.’
Semjaza commanded to be bound
Enoch 10:11-15
11 And the Lord said unto Michael: ‘Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness.
12 And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated.
13 In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: 〈and〉 to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations.
15 And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end:
Hope prophesied
Enoch 10:16-21, 11:1-2
16 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.
19 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 ten presses of oil.
20 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 destroy from off the earth
21 ⌈And all the children of men shall become righteous⌉, and all nations 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.
1 And in those days I will open the store chambers of blessing which are in the heaven, so as to send them down ⌈upon the earth⌉ over the work and labour of the children of men.
2 And truth and peace shall be associated together throughout all the days of the world and throughout all the generations of men.’
Clash of the Titans
Jubilees 5:9-11
9 And He sent His sword into their midst that each should slay his neighbour, and they began to slay each other till they all fell by the sword and were destroyed from the earth.
10 And their fathers were witnesses (of their destruction), and after this they were bound in the depths of the earth for ever, until the day of the great condemnation, when judgment is executed on all those who have corrupted their ways and their works before the Lord.
11 And He destroyed all from their places, and there was not left one of them whom He judged not according to all their wickedness.
Judgment is ordained
Jubilees 5:12-19
12 And he made for all his works a new and righteous nature, so that they should not sin in their whole nature for ever, but should be all righteous each in his kind alway.
13 And the judgment of all is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets in righteousness -even (the judgment of) all who depart from the path which is ordained for them to walk in; and if they walk not therein, judgment is written down for every creature and for every kind.
14 And there is nothing in heaven or on earth, or in light or in darkness, or in Sheol or in the depth, or in the place of darkness (which is not judged); and all their judgments are ordained and written and engraved.
15 In regard to all He will judge, the great according to his greatness, and the small according to his smallness, and each according to his way.
16 And He is not one who will regard the person (of any), nor is He one who will receive gifts, if He says that He will execute judgment on each: if one gave everything that is on the earth, He will not regard the gifts or the person (of any), nor accept anything at his hands, for He is a righteous judge.
17 [And of the children of Israel it has been written and ordained: If they turn to him in righteousness He will forgive all their transgressions and pardon all their sins.
18 It is written and ordained that He will show mercy to all who turn from all their guilt once each year.]
19 And as for all those who corrupted their ways and their thoughts before the flood, no man’s person was accepted save that of Noah alone; for his person was accepted in behalf of his sons, whom (God) saved from the waters of the flood on his account; for his heart was righteous in all his ways, according as it was commanded regarding him, and he had not departed from aught that was ordained for him.
Notes
i
According to Jasher 4:9, Lamech was 160 when Seth died. If Lamech was born in 874, then we would have been 168.
ii
If Jared was born in 460 and lived 962 years, his death would be in the year 1422, however, Jasher 5:4 states that it was in the 336th year of the life of Noah which would put his death 30 years earlier in the year 1392.
iii
I placed this event at the beginning of the 32nd Jubilee.

The Archangels plead with YHWH
Enoch 9:1-11
Then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw how much blood was being shed on the earth, and how lawlessness had spread everywhere. They said to one another, “The earth, which was once uninhabited, now cries out to the gates of heaven. And now, to you—the holy ones of heaven—the souls of men appeal, saying, ‘Bring our case before the Most High.’”
And they spoke to the Lord of the ages, saying, “Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, God of all time—Your glorious throne stands through all generations, and Your holy, glorious, and blessed name endures forever! You created everything, and You have power over it all. Nothing is hidden from You—everything is exposed before Your eyes. You see all things. You see what Azazel has done—he’s taught people every form of unrighteousness on the earth, revealing eternal secrets that were kept in heaven, which men had been trying to discover. And Semjaza, who You gave authority to rule over his companions—he and the others have gone to the daughters of men on earth, slept with the women, defiled themselves, and taught them all kinds of sinful practices. The women gave birth to giants, and the whole earth has been filled with blood and lawlessness because of it.
Now look—the souls of those who have died are crying out, pleading at the gates of heaven, and their lamentations rise continually. They can’t stop crying out because of the evil being committed on earth. And You knew all of this before it happened. You see it happening, and yet You allow it. But You haven’t told us what we’re supposed to do about them.”
YHWH sees the corruption of man
Genesis 6:5, 7
Jasher 4:19-20
Jubilees 5:3-4
God looked at the earth, and saw that it was corrupt. All flesh had corrupted its natural order, and everyone on earth was doing evil in His sight. The LORD saw how great human wickedness had become, and that every thought in their hearts was only evil, all the time.
Then the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I created, from the face of the earth—people, animals, creeping things, and birds of the air—because I regret that I made them.”
And all those who walked in the ways of the Lord died during those days, before the Lord brought judgment upon humanity as He had warned. This was by the Lord’s own doing, so they wouldn’t have to witness the evil that He had said would come upon mankind.
Noah cries to Enoch
Enoch 65:1-12
During that time, Noah saw how the earth had sunk into ruin and that destruction was near. He got up and traveled to the ends of the earth, crying out to his grandfather Enoch. Three times, in a bitter voice, Noah cried, “Hear me, hear me, hear me!”
I, Enoch, said to him, “Tell me what’s happening on the earth, why it’s in such a terrible state and shaking, unless I might also perish with it.”
Then there was a great commotion on the earth, and a voice came from heaven. I fell on my face, and my grandfather Enoch came and stood beside me. He said, “Why have you cried out to me with such bitter weeping? A command has gone out from the Lord about those who live on the earth—that their destruction is certain. It’s because they’ve learned all the secrets of the angels, all the violence of the Satans, all their hidden powers, and the power of those who practice sorcery, witchcraft, and the making of molten idols for the entire earth. They’ve even learned how silver comes from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal is formed. Lead and tin don’t come from the ground the same way as the others. They come from a fountain, and an angel stands over it—an angel who is supreme.”
After that, my grandfather Enoch took my hand, lifted me up, and said, “Go now, for I have asked the Lord of Spirits about this upheaval on the earth.”
And He said to me, “Because of their wickedness, judgment has been determined against them, and I will not hold it back forever. Because they’ve searched for and learned these forbidden sorceries, both the earth and those who live on it will be destroyed. And there is no repentance for them—they’ve revealed what was hidden, and they are damned. But as for you, my son, the Lord of Spirits knows that you are innocent and blameless in all this. He has chosen you to be among the holy ones and will preserve you and those who live on the earth with you. Your righteous descendants have been chosen for kingship and great honor. From your line, a fountain of righteous and holy people will arise—without number, and forever.”
Noah finds grace in the eyes of YHWH
Genesis 6:8
Jasher 4:21
Jubilees 5:5
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. The Lord chose him and his children to carry on humanity—to raise up a new seed across the entire face of the earth.
Climax
Uriel sent to Noah to reveal the coming deluge
Enoch 10:1-4a
Then the Most High, the Holy and Great One, spoke and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech. He said to him, “Go to Noah and tell him in My name, ‘Hide yourself!’ and reveal to him the end that is coming. The whole earth is about to be destroyed, and a flood will soon cover the entire earth and wipe out everything on it. Now instruct him so that he may escape, and so his descendants will be preserved for all the generations of the world.”
Azazel commanded to be bound
Enoch 10:4b-8
Then the Lord said to Raphael, “Bind Azazel hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness. Make an opening in the desert of Dudael and cast him in. Cover him with rough, jagged rocks and wrap him in darkness. Let him remain there forever. Cover his face so that he will never see the light. On the day of the great judgment, he will be thrown into the fire. The entire earth has been corrupted by the teachings of Azazel—assign all sin to him.”
The rest of the angels commanded to be bound
Jubilees 5:6
God was extremely angry with the angels He had sent to earth. He commanded that they be stripped of all their authority, and He instructed us to bind them in the depths of the earth. So now they are bound, held separate from the rest.
The children of the angels commanded to be killed
Enoch 10:9-10

Then the Lord said to Gabriel, “Go after the bastards, the outcasts, and the children of fornication. Destroy the children of fornication and the offspring of the Watchers from among men. Send them to war against one another so they destroy each other in battle with swords, because they will not live long lives. They will be wiped from under heaven. And no petition their fathers make on their behalf will be granted, because they had hoped to live forever—each one expecting to live for 500 years.”
Semjaza commanded to be bound
Enoch 10:11-15
Then the Lord said to Michael, “Go bind Semjaza and his companions who defiled themselves by uniting with women in all their impurity. When their sons have killed each other and they witness the death of those they love, bind them securely for 70 generations in the valleys of the earth, until the day of their final judgment, when the eternal judgment is completed. At that time, they will be taken to the abyss of fire, to torment and imprisonment, where they will remain forever. Anyone who is condemned and destroyed will be bound with them until the end of all generations. Destroy all the spirits of the corrupt and the children of the Watchers, because they have harmed humanity. Remove every form of evil from the face of the earth, and let all wickedness come to an end.”
Hope prophesied
Enoch 10:16-21, 11:1-2
“And let the plant of righteousness and truth appear—it will be a blessing. Righteous and truthful deeds will be sown in joy and truth forever. Then all the righteous will be saved and live long enough to have 1,000s of children. They will complete all the days of their youth and old age in peace. The whole earth will be cultivated in righteousness, planted with trees, and filled with blessings. All desirable trees will grow on it. They will plant vineyards, and those vines will produce abundant wine. For every measure of seed sown, 1,000 will be harvested, and every measure of olives will yield 10 presses of oil.
Cleanse the earth of all oppression, unrighteousness, sin, godlessness, and every impurity committed upon it—remove them completely. All people will become righteous. Every nation will honor Me, praise Me, and worship Me. The earth will be cleansed of all defilement, sin, punishment, and torment. I will never again send such plagues upon it, from generation to generation, forever.
In those days, I will open the storehouses of blessing in heaven to pour them out on the earth, over the labor and work of humankind. Truth and peace will go hand in hand throughout all the days of the world and across every generation.”
Falling Action
Clash of the Titans
Jubilees 5:9-11
God sent His sword among them so that each would kill his neighbor. They began slaughtering one another until all of them were killed by the sword and wiped off the earth. Their fathers witnessed their destruction. Afterward, they were bound in the depths of the earth forever, until the day of the great condemnation—when judgment will be carried out on all who have corrupted their ways and deeds before the Lord. He wiped them all out from their places, and not a single one escaped judgment based on their wickedness.
Resolution
Judgment is ordained
Jubilees 5:12-19
God sent His sword among them so that each would kill his neighbor. They began slaughtering one another until all of them were killed by the sword and wiped off the earth. Their fathers witnessed their destruction. Afterward, they were bound in the depths of the earth forever, until the day of the great condemnation—when judgment will be carried out on all who have corrupted their ways and deeds before the Lord. He wiped them all out from their places, and not God created for all His works a new and righteous nature, so that they would no longer sin by nature, but instead live righteously, each according to their own kind, forever. The judgment for everyone is ordained and recorded on the heavenly tablets in righteousness—this includes the judgment of all who stray from the path set out for them to walk.
If they do not follow that path, judgment is written down for every creature and for every type. Nothing in heaven or on earth, in light or in darkness, in Sheol, in the depths, or in any place of shadow escapes judgment. All judgments are set, recorded, and engraved.
God will judge everyone—the great according to their greatness, the small according to their smallness, and each person based on their ways. He shows no partiality and does not accept bribes. If He says He will judge someone, even if that person were to offer everything on earth, He would not accept it. He will not consider the person or their gifts, because He is a righteous judge.
As for the children of Israel, it is written and ordained that if they turn to Him in righteousness, He will forgive all their transgressions and pardon all their sins. It is written and ordained that He will show mercy to anyone who turns away from all their guilt—once each year.
And regarding all those who corrupted their ways and thoughts before the flood, no one’s person was accepted except for Noah. His person was accepted on behalf of his sons, whom God saved from the floodwaters because of him—because his heart was righteous in everything he did. He obeyed exactly what was commanded to him and never turned aside from anything that was ordained for him.a single one escaped judgment based on their wickedness.
