Watchers: Difference between revisions

==Mount Hermon==

In the [[Book of Enoch]], Mount Hermon is the place where the [[Watchers]] class of fallen angels descended to Earth. Its summit straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon and is the highest point in Syria. On the top there is “Hermon Hotel”, in the buffer zone between Syria and Israeli-occupied territory, the highest permanently manned UN position in the world. They swear upon the mountain that they would take wives among the daughters of men and take mutual imprecation for their sin (Enoch 6). The mountain or summit is referred to as Saphon in Ugaritic texts where the palace of Baal is located in a myth about Attar. The Book of Chronicles also mentions Mount Hermon as a place where Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel were the heads of their families. R.T. France, in his book on the Gospel of Matthew, noted that Mount Hermon was a possible location of the [[Transfiguration]] of Jesus.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hermon Mount Hermon]</ref>
