What Church Doesn't Want You to Know | Yahweh and The Fallen Angels

This video study the relationship between the Anunnaki, Yahweh, and the so-called "fallen angels" of Hebrew and Mesopotamian mythology. The narrative explores how Yahweh, initially seen as one among many gods (elohim) in ancient religious tradition, evolved to be considered the sole supreme god. The video also discusses the theory about the Anunnaki and the creation of humanity, as well as exploring the stories of mythical figures such as the Nephilim and the Igigi.

In Genesis, the "benai elohim" (sons of God) saw the daughters of humans as attractive and took them as wives, leading to the birth of the Nephilim, formidable and renowned beings. This biblical episode is distinct from the narratives involving the Anunnaki, who were revered as powerful gods in ancient Mesopotamia.

Yahweh's portrayal within these ancient texts is complex and multifaceted. He is not depicted as the sole God but as one of the Elohim, a term that implies a plurality of divine beings.

Yahweh's declarations often emphasize his exclusivity and demand for worship, distinguishing him among other gods. This portrayal indicates a transition from the polytheistic traditions of ancient Mesopotamia to the monotheistic worship that characterized later Hebrew beliefs. The evolution of Yahweh's worship represents a significant shift in religious thought. Archaeological evidence and ancient texts reveal that Yahweh's name appeared much later in history, suggesting a gradual transition from henotheism (worship of one god while acknowledging others) to monotheism (worship of a single, omnipotent deity). This shift is marked by the Hebrews’ journey from recognizing multiple deities to venerating Yahweh as the sole divine entity.

The Book of Enoch offers a detailed account of the fallen angels, known as the Watchers, who descended to Earth, captivated by human women. Their unions produced the Nephilim, giants who wrought havoc on Earth, leading to divine intervention in the form of the Flood. These narratives parallel yet differ from the Mesopotamian texts, which do not mention Yahweh but attribute human creation and the Flood to deities like Enki and Ninmah. Mesopotamian texts such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Atrahasis epic provide rich narratives of creation, divine-human interactions, and the Flood, with no reference to Yahweh. Instead, gods like Enlil and Enki play pivotal roles. The absence of Yahweh in these early texts underscores his later introduction and the gradual evolution of his worship among the Hebrews.

Zecharia Sitchin's works bridge these ancient myths with modern interpretations, suggesting that the Anunnaki's influence extends to biblical narratives. He interprets events like the marriage of Marduk and the actions of the Igigi through the lens of ancient astronaut theory, proposing that the Anunnaki's impact is evident in stories of the fallen angels and the Nephilim. Yahweh's identity and the meaning of his name remain subjects of extensive debate and interpretation. Various translations and interpretations over centuries have contributed to an enigmatic portrayal, challenging the traditional monotheistic view and hinting at a complex theological evolution.
