As in the Days of Noah
When Jesus said “as in the days of Noah,” He wasn’t just talking about bad behavior. He was describing a specific convergence of events — one that’s documented in a book most churches won’t touch.
So I’m watching the Russell Crowe Noah movie — the one from 2014 — and I’m getting mad. Not confused. Mad. Because here’s Hollywood making a biblical epic and it’s got rock monsters and glowing snakeskin relics and I’m sitting there thinking, what is this garbage? This isn’t Genesis. This is somebody’s fever dream with a studio budget.
And then somebody told me it was based on the Book of Enoch.
And I thought — ok, well, they probably butchered that too. So I went and looked. Not because I was interested. Because I wanted to confirm they got it wrong.
They did get most of it wrong. But Enoch? Enoch was not what I expected.
Here’s what Genesis gives you. Six verses. That’s it.
The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair, and they took them wives of all which they chose. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days. The earth was filled with violence. God looked at what He’d made and was grieved at His heart. And He decided to wipe the slate.
That’s Genesis 6:1–8. Read it yourself. It’s blunt, it’s fast, and it raises way more questions than it answers.
Like — who are the sons of God? What are the Nephilim? How did things get so bad that a flood was the only option? Genesis doesn’t tell you. It gives you the verdict without the trial transcript.
For the trial transcript, you have to go where first-century readers went — to a book that most modern Protestants pretend doesn’t exist.
The Book of Enoch wasn’t fringe literature. I need to say that up front because the second you mention it, somebody’s going to tell you it’s not in the KJV. They’re right. It’s not. But Jude quotes it directly — verses 14 and 15, word for word from 1 Enoch. Peter references the same events in 2 Peter 2:4. It was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was read across Second Temple Judaism. The early church fathers cited it.
I didn’t make this stuff up. It was uncovered. It’s been sitting there the whole time.
So what does Enoch actually say?
Two hundred angels — called Watchers — came down to Mount Hermon. They made a pact, binding themselves with oaths, and they took human wives. Their offspring were the Nephilim — and these weren’t just big people. These were something else entirely. They grew to a scale that strained the earth’s capacity to feed them. When the food ran out, they turned on the animals. When the animals weren’t enough, they turned on people.
And here’s what I think lands hardest — that sounds like people. That sounds like raw human nature. We consume until all the resources are gone and then we consume each other. Everyone does that. These things just consumed faster.
But the Watchers didn’t just father monsters. They taught. Azazel taught humanity weapons and warfare — the knowledge that made organized violence possible on a civilizational scale. Others taught sorcery, divination, astral lore. The cosmetics industry and the weapons industry trace back to the same teachers, if Enoch is to be believed. And this wasn’t knowledge offered for human flourishing. This was a curriculum designed to make humanity operate independent of God.
One detail that doesn’t get enough weight: the location. Mount Hermon. That’s where the Watchers descended. That’s where they made their oath. And if the tradition holds, that’s where they were ultimately bound — imprisoned beneath it.
That’s not a throwaway detail. Mount Hermon shows up again and again if you start digging into occult history. It’s a location that carries weight far beyond the Enoch narrative. The oath was made there. The rebellion started there. And the punishment was administered there.
Luke 17:26–27 · KJV
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man: They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”
I can still hear my mom saying this. “As in the days of Noah.” She used to say it any time something bad was on the news, or weird people were around, or the world felt like it was tilting. That was her phrase for the end times. She wasn’t wrong — she just never quantified it.
That’s what this article is trying to do. Quantify it.
When Jesus said “as in the days of Noah” in Matthew 24:37, He wasn’t being vague. His audience knew exactly what that meant. They had the Enochic literature. They knew about the Watchers. They knew about the Nephilim. They knew about the forbidden knowledge transfer. When He said “as in the days of Noah,” they heard: boundary violations between the natural and supernatural. Forbidden knowledge normalized. Violence that had become total and self-sustaining.
Now look around.
Technologies that blur the line between human and machine. Knowledge systems that promise godlike capability without God. A violence that has become so industrialized it barely registers as news anymore. Creatures in the deep ocean that don’t fit any evolutionary model anybody’s comfortable with. Myths of sirens and monsters that span every ancient culture on the planet — all saying the same thing, independently, separated by oceans.
You can dismiss all of that. A lot of people do. But the dots connect if you let them. People don’t want to believe there were monsters running around. They don’t like to think that angels were checking out the women and decided to do something about it. But that is what — from what I’ve read — happened. That is exactly what the text describes. And it explains a lot of the stuff that’s out there, the wacko stuff that nobody has a clean answer for.
It clicks. When you actually connect the dots, it clicks.
The pattern was set before the flood. The question is whether you see it repeating.
