“Concerning these things will I speak, and these things will I explain unto you, my children: I am Enoch. In consequence of London 2012 - closing ceremonythat which has been shown to me, from my heavenly vision and from the voice of the holy angels, I have acquired knowledge, and from the tablet of heaven have I acquired understanding.”- Book of Enoch, Verse III

(Part II of Who were the Nephilim? By Moe) – After the Exodus, Cain had built a city calling it by the name of his son Enoch, or the City of Discipline and Training. His father Cain is known for killing his brother Abel and was cursed seven times over by the Lord. The LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 1 6 11 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD. This was the time when Cain had left his homeland and went into the “Land of Nod” on the east of Eden, where he built a city, and called it after the name of his son Enoch.

Enoch (Hebrew: חֲנוֹךְ, Modern H̱anokh Tiberian Ḥănōḵ; Arabic: إدريس‎ ʼIdrīs) was said to be the first-born son of Cain through Seth, and great-grandson of Noah. He is the seventh progenitor of the race in the “book of the generations of Adam.” Enoch was a warrior and a builder of cities. In Mohammedan Literature, he is known to the Mohammedans as “Idris” (the Instructor), a man of truth and a prophet, raised by Allah to a lofty place, and as a model of patience. Baidawi, in identifying him with Enoch, explains “Idris” as indicating his knowledge of divine mysteries.

MEANING OF THE LAND OF NOD

The meaning of the name ‘Nod’ varies depending on the language. For example, in Greek the noun ‘nod’ is spelled “χώρα του ύπνου ουσ.θηλ,” meaning the “land of sleep,” and the verb Nod is spelled “μεταφορικά  κουτουλάω (από τη νύστα) ρ.αμ,” which means to fall asleep. Hence, to the Ancient Greeks, “The Land of Nod” refers to the mythical land of sleep, which today in English would be akin to when someone suddenly goes to sleep and “Nods off”. These were the children of Cain who had turned their faces away from the LORD, love and light in the garden of Eden of the East (Right brain Spirit, Reason and Love), and were cursed to be wanderers in the West (Left Hemisphere Brain of Intellect and Materialism ) and to spiritually go to “asleep in the land of Nod.” A magickal curse was cast upon the race of Cain which placed them in spiritual darkness for seven generations.

Josephus describes the Sons of Cain in the Antiquities of the Jews, A.D. 93;

Nay, even while Adam was alive, it came to pass that the posterity of Cain became exceedingly wicked, every one successively dying one after the other, more wicked than the former. They were intolerable in war, and vehement in robberies; and if any one were slow to murder people, yet was he bold in his profligate behaviour, in acting unjustly, and doing injury for gain.

These stories about Cain and his children indicate a change in how the world and human race was governed, in which it went from a spiritually religious government based on the Mosaic Laws, to a more material government based on selfishness, materialism and Roman Law or the Rule of Law. Hence, it was after this time that the Cainanites became merchants and murderer scapegoats of Israel who had spiritually went to sleep because of the curse of the LORD. A curse that still lasts to this day.

Cain had two children, Lamech and Zillah who then gave birth to “Tubal Cain” who is described in Genesis 4:22 as the “forger of all instruments of bronze and iron” (ESV), or an “instructer of every artificer in brass and iron” (KJV). Tubal Cain is the widow’s son who originally was “a sharpener”—one who whets or sharpens instruments. The name Tubal comes from the Hebrew verb Jabal (yabal), meaning to bring, carry, lead, conduct, and is also explained as meaning, “to cause to transport an object from one place to another.” The the name Cain may be derived from the Egyptian “ka or ba” meaning ‘soul.’

In Hebrew, the meaning of the word Nod is related to the participle דנ in 4:12 which the LXX translated as τρέμων (trembling). “Nod” (נוד) is the Hebrew root of the verb “to wander” (לנדוד). Therefore, to dwell in the land of Nod is usually taken to mean that one takes up a wandering life. Hence, the Land of Nod is known as an allegorical code for the “Land of Shaking”, which must mean Nod was known for its earthquakes. A big clue to where Cain had brought his people after he went out from the presence of the Lord. This land I believe was actually the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, known today as Crete in the country of Greece. An island that is one of the most earthquake active in all the lands of the Mediterranean, with a deep history of many earthquakes and natural catastrophes that have left the land in trembling state. A land that may very well be the Land of Nod.

MEANING OF THE NAME ENOCH

The name ‘Enoch (e’nok)’ is derived from the Hebrew (Phoenician) word ‘Henoch (or Onech),” and means “one trained up” or ‘initiated.’ The closely related Semitic word, ‘Enos’ means pro-eminently, “The Man : that is, the Messenger; the Man of men.” Hence, Enoch is a “title or given name,” and not an actual birth name of a singular person. 33rd Degree Freemason, Many P Hall said this about Enoch in his book, Secret Teachings of All Ages;

According to Freemasonic symbolism, Enoch, fearing that all knowledge of the sacred Mysteries would be lost at the time of the Deluge, erected the two columns mentioned in the quotation. Upon the metal column in appropriate allegorical symbols he engraved the secret reaching and upon the marble column placed an inscription stating that a short distance away a priceless treasure would be discovered in a subterranean vault. After having thus faithfully completed his labors, Enoch was translated from the brow Of Mount Moriah. In time the location of the secret vaults was lost, but after the lapse of ages there came another builder–an initiate after the order of Enoch–and he, while laying the foundations for another temple to the Great Architect of the Universe, discovered the long-lost vaults and the secrets contained within.

The symbol of Enoch is the Phenoch (or Phenoch, Phinoach, and Phanak), or the magnificent immortal bird known to us today as the ‘Phoenix.’ The phoenix is an allegorical fire bird of time, signifying re-birth and resurrection out of its own ashes. It is the symbol of the messenger, and especially more of the Sixth race, the offspring of Phen. The phoenix also symbolizes a secret cycle and initiation used by various cultures around the world to delineate a historical age. This is interesting, because in the 2012 closing Olympic Ceremonies, there was a massive phoenix on display that was lit up with thousands of lights. Could this symbolize the end of the sixth age and the beginning of a new era?

In the Ethiopic Books of Enoch, in Gen. v. 24  we find that “Enoch walked with God” and “God took him.” Jewish legends of Enoch describe him as a man, credited with superhuman knowledge, and the “Visions of Enoch” describe the secret Mysteries of Initiation, one of which is the Burning Valley of the “Fallen Angels.” In the Book of Enoch, Mount Hermon is the place where the “Watchers, Sons of God or the Nephilim,” a class of fallen angels descended to Earth. The Anak or the Anakim were the descendants of the Nephilim that were seen by Jacob when he described giants in the land of Canaan. Enoch’s Angels, the Sons of God (Nephilim) who saw that the daughters of men were fair (Gen., vi.), and who married them and taught the daughters of Earth the secrets of Heaven. Mount Hermon is located at 33 degrees latitude and longitude, and this region has long been associated with the Nephilim. Mount Hermon is where the Phoenician Prince Cadmus and the Cadmonites had inhabited, which was in the Land of Canaan. Cadmus whose name means ‘son’, was also known by the name Hermes, and just like Enoch, Hermes is the initiator, an intermediate agent between mankind. Herodotus had called Hermes, Mercury. He was usually depicted carrying a caduceus, and in Greek, Caduceus means magic wand, and why we always see him carrying his magic double DNA serpent wand, which is the symbol of immortality. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky gives us  the meaning as well, in her book, The Secret Doctrine: Anthropogenesis;

Enoch is the type of the dual nature of man—spiritual and physical. Hence he occupies the centre of the Astronomical Cross, as given by Eliphas Levi from a secret work, which is a Six-pointed Star, the “Adonai.” In the upper angle of the upper Triangle is the Eagle; in the left, lower angle stands the Lion; in the right, the Bull; while between the Bull and the Lion, over them and under the Eagle, is the face of Enoch or Man.’ Now the figures on the upper Triangle represent the Four Races, omitting the First, the Chhayas or Shadows, and the “Son of Man,” Enos or Enoch, is in the centre, where he stands between the Fourth and the Fifth Races, for he represents the Secret Wisdom of both. These are the four Animals of Ezekiel and of the Revelation. The Double Triangle…
