Five Satans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Five Satans are the five angels, part of a group of angels collectively known as the satans, described in the pseudepigraphical Book of Enoch as fallen angels—or, in some translations, as giants or titans—each of whom God cast into exile for different reasons. Their sins were also among the infractions that incited God to inflict the Great Flood upon the Earth.

[edit] Asb'el

Asb'el's sins included marrying human women, and teaching humanity the secrets of the natural universe, which God did not intend for human knowledge:

"Asb'el – one who gave the children of the holy angels an evil counsel and misled them so that they would defile their bodies by the daughters of the people" — 1 Enoch 69:4–12

[edit] Gader'el

"Gader'el – he who showed the children of the people all the blows of death, who misled Eve, who showed the children of the people [how to make] the instruments of death [such as] the shield, the breastplate, and the sword for warfare, and all [the other] instruments of death to the children of the people" — 1 Enoch 69:4-12

[edit] Pinem'e

"Pinem'e – demonstrated to the children of the people the bitter and the sweet and revealed to them all the secrets of their wisdom. Furthermore he caused the people to penetrate [the secret of] writing and [the use of] ink and paper" — 1 Enoch 69:4-12

Pinem'e is also known as Penemue or Kokabiel.

[edit] Kasadya

"Kasadya – he who revealed to the children of the people [the various] flagellations of all evil—[the flagellation] of the souls and the demons, the smashing of the embryo in the womb so that it may be crushed, the flagellation of the soul, snake bites, sunstrokes, the son of the serpent, whose name is Taba'ta" — 1 Enoch 69:4-12

Kill a child named Seth. He must have rid of that child.[{embryo}]

[edit] Yeqon

"Yeqon – one who misled all the children of the angels, brought them down upon the earth, and perverted them by the daughters of the people" — 1 Enoch 69:4-12
