There
is an ancient legend that argues there was an eleventh choir of
angels and that they were giant angels known as the Grigori. These
angels God tasked with the responsibility of watching mankind to
be sure we developed the way He intended. Because of this duty,
these angels became known as The Watchers.
They
watched us faithfully for thousands of years

As
they watched they wondered at our pleasures. They discussed among
themselves how the sensations of eating, dancing and making love
might feel....and they began to long for these simple human pleasures
of the flesh. Finally a day came when they could stand it no longer.
Unanimously, all two hundred of the Watchers agreed to go down to
earth and sample these pleasures.
They
left Heaven all as one and came to earth.

They
marveled at the beauty of the daughters of man....and they were
unable to resist their charms. They married the women and had children
with them. The children were all sons and were born very beautiful
and shining. The people of the villages loved these beautiful, shining
boys and watched them grow with joy in their hearts and with great
pride in their wondrous beauty.

But
the boys grew and grew and were soon giants among men. It became
very difficult for the people to provide enough food for the boys
and, at last, the food was consumed completely and there was no
more for the giant children or for the people. There was starvation
on earth for the first time. And now the tears and the wails of
the people were heard in Heaven.

When
God saw what had happened He was angry and banished the Watchers
to Tartarus, a special Hell located in Heaven, where they await
to this day their punishment. To punish the people and to destroy
all the children of the mating of angels and humans, God caused
the Great Flood.

The
Bible tells us that Noah built an ark and took two of each animal
aboard and they were saved from drowning. Interestingly, when Noah
was born he was described as 'shining'. Actually he illuminated
the room with his brilliance and his father, Lemach, was frightened.
Lemach ran from the house and sought the counsel of his deceased
grandfather, Enoch, who told him to accept the child as his own
and that Noah would someday save the world.

This
is just a brief outline of the legend. There are many stories to
be told. Each of the Watchers, who became known as Fallen Angels,
taught mankind a skill....magic, metal working, agriculture, cosmetics,
and more. Some say not all of the Fallen Angels were doomed to Hell....some
escaped. Nathanael, who had taught man the uses of fire, escaped
with Sarah cradled beneath his mighty wings and they fled to another
planet.
There
are many stories to be told.
