PROLOGUE
Once upon a time, before a time that God and
Shaytan agreed to create three avatars to coexist in concord.
The first being was the amorphous Spirit. The second was a
female entity named Lilith, and the third being was a male
named Metatron. As a sign of profound trust within the
newly created treaty, God and Shaytan interchanged their
avatars. The feminine God governed the male entity
Metatron while the masculine Shaytan governed the female
entity Lilith and the Spirit was influenced by both God and
Shaytan. Contrary to today's conventional beliefs God and
Shaytan were neither good nor evil, then no such matter
existed, so to Lilith, the Spirit and Metatron God and
Shaytan were simply known by an interchangeable being
named Tetragrammaton. And so it was.
Eons afterward, Lilith and Metatron decided to
create third dimensional beings of themselves and so they
created humanity in their own image, male and female; in
the image of themselves, they created them. Metatron
named the man Adam and Lilith named the woman Eve.
Since the Spirit is amorphous it granted humankind a
unique element called a Soul, but when the Spirit granted
humankind its Soul, the first gust was inserted into the man,
and then the woman received the secondary breeze. As a
result, the man possessed a minor advantage over the
woman; Eve was now fated to squander an eternity as
Adam’s feebler counterpart. Lilith was not at all pleased
with this end result. Besides their gender, she wanted the
woman to be equal to the man in every other way, just as
she was to Metatron.
As powerful as Lilith was, she failed to persuade the
Spirit to alter Eve's Soul for the simple fact that the Trinity
was ruled by consensus, and neither Metatron nor the Spirit
considered Eve's Soul to be flawed. Having her request
vetoed by her peers Lilith then set out to vindicate her
cause on her own and so she seek out the assistance of her
most prominent creation, a flamboyant Seraph that goes by
the name of Lucifer. The most beautiful of all the heavenly
creatures Lucifer was, but there were no comparison when
it comes to Lilith's perfectionism and charisma. As
Metatron's spouse, Lilith was the ultimate seductress, the
prototype of beauty and femininity. She easily convinced
Lucifer to join her cause. Blinded by lust, Lucifer conjured
a most devilish scheme, he recruits as many Angels as
possible, raised an army, in order to take over the Heavens.
Preoccupied by the duties of war, Heaven left the gates of
Eden vulnerable, Lilith preyed upon this opportunity to at
last set Eve free, she convinced her to eat the fruits of the
forbidden tree, hoping that it would equate her with Adam
but the fruits of that tree had a mortal taste, which instead
brought death into her world.
Lucifer had lost the battle but the war has now
spread beyond the boundaries of Heaven, as he and his
accomplices ruled over their new founded dominion called
Hell. Now exiled from paradise Adam and Eve with the
assistance of Lilith had discovered a new path to cheat
death, a way to gain immortality by passing along their
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acids (DNA) to their offspring. The
couple first had triplets, two males and one female, they
named the female Nora and the males were named Cain
and Abel. As the children became adolescents Nora became
more emotionally attached to her jovial brother Abel, but
the ambitious Cain wanted a family of his own. The
mysteries of death lurks still in the family for they did not
know yet of it's true nature and Cain was not willing to take
the risk of waiting until Adam and Eve can provide him
with a mate so he overturned Nora's heart by having her eat
a magically enchanted pomegranate. Later when Abel
discovered the means of which Cain had gained Nora's
affection he was furious but yet unable to change the fact
that Nora was now Cain's wife and so as a form of
vindication Abel began having a passionate affair with
Nora but when Cain learned of their insincerity and vividly
caught them in the act, he was unforgiven as he brutally
murdered them both in cold blood. Cain became a cursed
nomad, as he roamed the earth for ages with no specific
place to call his home, until one day he encountered a
mysterious woman bathing along a creek, and he took her
as a wife, her name was Serena. Cain and Serena built a
settlement in a land they called Nod and they had many
children and lived happily. Now it happened that men
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
were born to them. The Angels of Heaven became enticed
by the beauty of the daughters of men, and their desire
toward the daughters of humankind grew stronger with
each passing moment. The Angels saw that mankind
willingly had the power to give and take away life, they
became jealous and envious of them and some Angels went
as far as wanting to become humans and with the help of
Lilith some were able to accomplish those desires.
The fallen Angels under their new human disguises
formed a new clan called the Nephilims and they lived in
harmony with the humans until they begot children with the
daughters of men, their offspring became an abomination
upon the earth, with divine powers and souls; a powerful
and lethal combination. Some of them were giants; others
were half-human beings with wings who were capable of
flying; and then there were the amphibious and monstrous
ones who called themselves the Leviathans. Due to their
abnormalities, the descendants of the Angels could not
properly adapt to the human societies, as they grew in
numbers humankind became more distrustful of them, and
resentments surfaced. The humans hated the Leviathans
and on the other side of the spectrum the feeling was
mutual so war between the two races has eventually
become inevitable, but neither sides wanted to throw the
first blow or draw the first blood but all that is about to
change when Demete a half-human, half-Angel being fell
in love with a young girl named Naamah. Dagon the leader
of the Leviathans hated the union between Demete and
Naamah, he always viewed the humans as nothing more
than a race of parasitic diseases upon the earth, not worthy
of life. One day Dagon hatched out a plan to murder
Naamah hoping that the humans would rise up against his
clan in retaliation thus giving him a valid reason to
exterminate humanity. After murdering Naamah, Dagon
then got exactly what he wanted a war with mankind.
Metatron in Heaven not quite pleased by what the earth and
humanity has become decided to flood the entire earth with
all of it's inhabitants including the Nephilims. While the
Leviathans were a superior race comparing to the humans,
mankind had the support of an unlikely nemesis, an enemy
whose interests and purpose firmly depends on the survival
of the human race. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred
turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
CHAPTER I – PRIDE
In the beginning, Metatron, Lilith, and the Spirit,
known as the Trinity, created the heavens and the earth.
They then populated the heavens with nine choirs of
Angels, which are divided into three hierarchies, each of
which is divided into three choirs of Angels: the highest,
the intermediate, and the lower. The upper choir, the
highest and closest to the most Holy Trinity, consists of the
Seraphim, Cherubim, and the Thrones also known as the
Elders. The intermediate choir of Angels consists of the
Dominations, the Virtues and the Powers. The lower choir
consists of the Principalities, the Archangels and the
Angels. The Seraphim, the highest echelon of the nine
hierarchies of Angels, are in charge of maintaining the
presence of the source of the whole of existence within the
physical worlds. They are the guardians of the various
creations; their primarily concerned is with vibrating
manifestations that keep Divinity in perfect order. Their
very name meant ardor. The Cherubim, Angels of the
eighth echelon, are the guardians of the fixed stars, keepers
of celestial records, and best owners of knowledge. The
name, Cherubim, denotes their power of knowing they are
filled by participation in Divine Wisdom, and bounteously
out pour to those below them from their own fount of
wisdom. They are some of the most powerful and aweinspiring
of all Angels, standing below the Seraphim in
direct closeness to the throne of the Holy Trinity.
The seventh echelon of Angels, known as the Elders
or Thrones, are the most glorious and exalted, denoting that
which is exempt from and untainted by any base and
earthly thing. They are the keepers of higher, more
expanded energies; they ensure that these energies maintain
the connections which flow through the realms. The Elders
have the task of pondering the disposition of divine
judgments, and despite their greatness, they are intensely
humble, an attribute that allows them to dispense justice
with perfect objectivity and without fear of pride or
ambition. Now the Angels of the sixth echelon are called
the Dominations. They act as a form of middle
management between the upper echelon and the lower,
distributing and maintaining connections between all
beings and things within physical realms. They regulate the
activities of the Angels, handling details of cosmic life and
existence and designating tasks to the lower orders of
Angels.
The fifth echelon of Angels, the Virtues, manifest in
this Universe as astronomically beings. Their name
signifies a certain powerful and unshakable virility, welling
forth into all their super energies; not being weak and
feeble for any reception of the Divine Illuminations granted
to them. Never falling away from the Divine Life through
their own weakness, but ascending unwaveringly to the
super essential virtue, which is the source of virtue; and
flowing forth providentially to those below this source,
abundantly filling them with virtue. As Angels of the fourth
echelon, the Powers are keepers and teachers of the laws of
nature. Co-equal with the Divine Dominions and Virtues,
their name signifies an orderly and unconfined order in the
divine receptions, and the regulation of intellectual and
super mundane power which never debases its authority,
but is irresistibly urged onward in due order to the Divine.
It beneficently leads those below it, as far as possible, to
the Supreme Power that is the Source of Power, which it
manifests after the manner of Angels in the well ordered
ranks of its own authoritative power.
The Principalities are the third echelon of Angels.
In an order that is Holy and most fitting to the princely
Powers, they imply their supreme authoritativeness. The
Archangels, Angels of the second echelon, govern the
affairs of the messengers of the various realms and
dimensions; their primary duty being to carry out the will
of the Trinity as it relates directly to humanity. Then there
are the Angels, the lowest echelon of the nine hierarchies of
Angels; angelic beings assigned to the guardian of every
living Soul. These are the most accessible Angels to
humans and other life forms, and they are constantly
present. While the lowest ranked of all angelic beings,
angels are nevertheless members of the heavenly host and
thus possess the profound and beautiful attributes given to
them by their Creators. Heaven, the realm of the divine,
had walls great and high, with twelve gates; at each of the
gates were twelve angels on the east three gates; on the
north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west
three gates. The city of Angels had twelve foundations, and
the city laid foursquare, the length as large as the breadth
and measuring twelve thousand furlongs. The length, the
breadth, and the height of the wall are equal. It measured
thereof one hundred forty-four cubits and it was built of
jasper; and the city was pure gold. All types of precious
stones garnished the foundations of the wall. The first
foundation was made of jasper; the second sapphire; the
third a chalcedony; the fourth emerald; the fifth sardonyx;
the sixth sard; the seventh chrysolite; the eighth beryl; the
ninth topaz; the tenth chrysoprases; the eleventh jacinth;
and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve
pearls; every several gate was of one pearl; and the street of
the city of Angels was pure gold. The city had no need of
the sun and neither of the moons to shine on it. "Holy, holy,
holy is our Creators," sang the Angels.
During that time the earth was without form and
void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. "Let
there be light." said the Trinity. And there was light. Then,
they divided the light from the darkness, and called the
light Day, and the darkness they called Night. The evening
and the morning were the first day. Then the Trinity said,
"Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind,
all of the cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the
earth.” And they made the beast of the earth after his kind
and cattle after their kind, and all things that crept upon the
earth after his kind. Then, Metatron and Lilith said, "Let us
make beings in our image, after our likeness, and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and all
things that creeps upon the earth.” Then they created
humankind in their own image, male and female; in the
image of themselves, they created them. Metatron named
the man Adam and Lilith named the woman Eve. Since the
Holy Spirit was without form, it gave humankind a Soul
and Freewill, saying, "Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish
the earth. Subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moves upon the earth.” On the seventh day, the Trinity
reposed, as creation was complete.
The Seraphim, the Cherubim, the Thrones, the
Dominations, the Virtues, the Powers, the Principalities, the
Archangels, the Angels, and every living creature,
including Adam and Eve, were summoned to Heaven for a
very special occasion. Here in Heaven all the creatures
were assembled in columns, and in the middle of this
endless aisle of Angels glided Lucifer the light-bringer,
leader of the Seraphim.
Lucifer, unlike the other Heavenly beings, had six
wings, with two he covered his face, and with two he
covered his feet, and with two he flew. On that very day,
the flamboyant Lucifer had all six of his wings spread out
to the utmost; his aura was so immensely brilliant that he
could have easily outshone the sun. A few steps behind him
were the bride and groom, marching towards their destiny.
The immaculate bride was clothed with the sun; the moon
was under her feet and on her head lay a garland of twelve
luminous stars. Arrayed in fine linen, the groom wore a
glittering crown on his head, garnished with all sorts of
precious stones and pearls. Approaching the altar where the
Spirit hovered, Lucifer stopped, and then he recoiled his
wings, bowing before the King and Queen of the Universe.
And on this day, Metatron and Lilith wedded. Eons later,
Lucifer the light-bringer was preparing to execute his
habitual function when along came Lilith. Knowing
perfectly well who Lucifer was and what he does, she said
authoritatively, "Seraph, wait! Where are you going?”
"I am Lucifer, the morning star, and I'm about to
commence my duty, your Highness," replied Lucifer.
Lucifer was one of the most beautiful of all the heavenly
creatures, but not as beautiful as the Queen of the Universe.
Lucifer does not even compare when it comes to her
perfection and charisma. She was the ultimate seductress,
the prototype of beauty and femininity. She slithered closer
towards him and said, "Well, are you going to just stand
there or are we going to roam the Heavens?” Lucifer smiled
and together the two roamed and roamed the universe from
the sun to the moon and to the stars until at last they
reached the earth. Then Lilith began to enlighten Lucifer on
the creation of the heavens and the earth, and most
especially humankind. After all, she and Metatron created
everything, according to their predilection.
As they walked on the north side of Eden, close to
where Adam and Eve lived, Lilith explained to Lucifer how
Adam was created in the image of Metatron and Eve in her
own. She informed Lucifer of the Spirit that granted
humankind a unique element called a Soul. She then told
him that when the Spirit granted humankind its Soul, the
first gust was inserted into Adam, and then Eve received
the secondary breeze. As a result, Adam possessed a minor
advantage over Eve. Lilith was not at all pleased with this
end result. Besides their gender, she wanted Eve to be equal
to Adam in every other way, just as she was to Metatron.
Because he was not like the other creatures, there was
something about Lucifer that enticed Lilith to him. Lucifer
had always managed to stand out amongst all the Angels he
was more confident, sophisticated, and certainly, more
charming. Although Lucifer was an inferior to her, Lilith
was greatly amused by his presence. She loved the fact that
he was never tedious, and always amusing and eloquent.
As powerful as Lilith was, she failed to persuade the
Spirit to alter Eve's Soul for the simple fact that the Trinity
was ruled by consensus, and neither Metatron nor the Spirit
considered Eve's Soul to be flawed. Lilith felt voiceless in
Heaven most of the time, as the Spirit and Metatron were in
agreement with each other. Her point of views were often
vetoed by her peers and so she set out to vindicate her
cause on her own. Offering Lucifer her heart, she
emphasized that together they would reign the Universe
better than the status quo. Lucifer was speechless. As he
was still processing the proposal and before he could say a
word, Lilith placed her left hand on his chest. Momentarily,
Lucifer became a humanoid; then Lilith kissed him and
there in the Garden of Eden they made love.
Blinded by both love and lust, Lucifer then returned
to the heavens with a devilish plan that made his mission a
simple one: recruit as many Angels as possible, raise an
army, and take over the Heavens. With the support of
Lilith, Lucifer successfully converted one third of the
Angels to his cause; amongst them were Lucifer's notorious
commanders, Beelzebub, Vassago, and Astaroth. In
Heaven, Beelzebub was the leader of the Cherubim.
Although petite in size, she was tremendously powerful,
often animating herself as a chubby-faced miniature human
with wings. Lucifer's third in command was an Elder
named Vassago, who was also Lucifer's chief adviser.
Belonging to the seventh order in the Angelical hierarchy,
Vassago had the task of pondering the disposition of divine
judgments. He is described as a luminous wheel, covered
with a great many eyes. Last but not least was the
mischievous shape-shifter, the Angel Astaroth, a very large
radiant spiritual being who sometime takes various forms in
order to cause bane occurrences.
On a remote location in Heaven, the hordes of
renegades gathered for war. The rebelling Angels formed
four battalions. Commanded by Lucifer, the first legion was
armed with the elements of fire, possessing the power to
invoked firestorms, meteors, and lavas. The second legion,
lead by Beelzebub, was armed with the elements of air, and
they had the power to invoked tornadoes, whirlwinds, and
lightning bolts. Vassago spearheaded the third legion,
which was armed with the elements of water and possessed
the power to invoked blizzards, glaciers, and avalanches.
And finally, the Angel Astaroth was in charge of the fourth
legion, all armed with the elements of the earth and the
power to invoked quakes, boulders, and dusts. Although the
rebelling Angels favored the concept of an unlimited
boundaries proposed by Lucifer some still had their doubts
notably Vassago, Lucifer’s chief adviser.
He was not entirely convinced that there were
enough fighters to overthrow the Heavens, so he said, "My
Lord, with all due respect, one third of the angelic order
might not be sufficient to overthrow the Heavens."
Conceitedly, Lucifer replied, "Pffft…nonsense. I am Lord
Lucifer, the morning star, the most powerful of them all. I
alone will vanquish half of their entire army. Allow me to
demonstrate.” Turning toward a small group of his minions
who were standing close by, Lucifer stretched out his wings
and his body emitted an energy so powerful that the group
was instantly incinerated. From the ashes of the cremated
rose the mystical being, Deimos, whose essence suddenly
spread and entered their nostrils like dark smog. The
Angels became possessed by it; after that their prismatic
eyes became as black as an onyx. Then Deimos became
amalgamated with Lucifer's shadow. Accompanied by the
phantom-like Deimos, Lucifer felt even more confident that
he could take on the Heavens. It was then that the entire
army first knew of fear and became intimidated by
Lucifer's supremacy.
"Anyone else wants some?" said Lucifer. But
everyone remained silent, and suddenly out of a mist of a
cloud, Lilith appeared. "Impressive," she said, as she
slithered toward Lucifer. She began circling him as if she
was inspecting his body. With her index finger, Lilith
touched Lucifer's body. As steam arose from the spot
where she was touching him, she winked at him and said,
"Hm-mm, you're hot." Then she said, "If you are heading
into battle, my King, you are going to need this." She gave
him a three-pronged spear and a kiss. "Take this trident and
be victorious," said Lilith. When Lucifer heard that Lilith,
his creator and now lover refer to him as King, his ego
skyrocketed.
From that moment on, he would never doubt his
convictions, ever convinced that he was benevolent and
those that were not on his side were the malevolent ones.
Lilith's trident was made of a combination of five
metallic elements. The handle bar was of iron; the lateral
bar was made of silver; the first prong of tin; the second
prong of lead; and finally, the third prong was made of
gold. As a whole, the trident was eighty-four inches in
length; each prong was twenty-four inches long and the
overall weight of the trident was seven pounds. And so it
was that when the Spirit announced the rebellion to
Metatron, he was very disappointed, especially when he
became aware that Lucifer was their leader, for Lucifer was
his favorite. After Lucifer was created, Metatron appointed
him as the seal of perfection among the Angels; full of
wisdom and perfect in beauty, Lucifer was established and
then embellished by Metatron with every precious stone.
To make matters worse, the Spirit then told Metatron of
Lilith's adultery. At that point, Metatron suddenly became
hysterical. "If it is a war they want, a war they shall
receive," he said. Heaven prepared for battle. Michael,
Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael were inside Heaven's command
center, revising the contingency plan. "Give them Hell,"
commanded Metatron, as he walked into the chamber.
“Give them what my Lord” replied Raphael.
“You’ll see” said Metatron, then, he gave Michael a sword
and said, "This is the key. When the time comes, you will
know what to do." Metatron blessed his four Commanders
and left. Grabbing the sword that Metatron gave him,
Michael examined it. The other angels gathered around him
and marveled at the double-edged broadsword that was
alloyed of five metallic elements: iron, silver, tin, lead, and
gold. The sword's length was forty-eight inches; the blade’s
was thirty-nine inches and its width was nine inches; its
depth was two inches; and the sword weighed three pounds.
Michael had decided that the battle would be fought
in a box formation. On the north side of the formation,
Uriel would take charge of the Cherubim and the Thrones.
Michael himself would command the Archangels and the
Angels on the south side of the formation. On the east,
Raphael was to rule over the Dominations and the Virtues,
and Gabriel would preside over the Powers and the
Principalities on the west side. Lead by their fearless leader
Lucifer, the legion of doom flew towards the Pearly Gates,
and they encountered Raphael, Uriel, Gabriel and Michael,
the defenders of the Heavens, there. Clearly outnumbered
by their opponents, Lucifer and his legions still rejected the
idea of a withdrawal. Determined to win the battle at all
cost, the army of darkness raged on a full-scale attack.
Some of them were involved in aerial assaults while others
remained on the ground. Raphael and the shape-shifting
Astaroth found themselves in the same path on the
battlefield. They stared each other down for a moment and
then began to fight. Astaroth was no match for the Angelic
commandant; so to avoid being vanquished; he quickly
took on the form of a man and begged for mercy.
Upon remarking that Raphael hesitated for a
moment but that was long enough for Astaroth to quickly
disappear. Suddenly, Astaroth reappeared behind Raphael
and stroked him from the back. But this time he was not
alone, as Astaroth had summoned a few dust devils with
him. His dust devils, simply a muddy manifestation of
himself, were capable of causing great harm to their victims
upon contact. Nonetheless, Raphael, who found himself
surrounded by four dust devils and Astaroth too, stood in
the middle of them; he looked to his left then to his right
and said, "Okay mate, you've got me surrounded. That's
good so now I can attack in any direction." Then he swung
his sword around in a circle and beheaded them all. Since
Gabriel was not doing so well fighting Vassago, Raphael
flew toward him.
"Why won't you die like a good Angel?" said
Vassago, as he pounded Gabriel to the ground. Fortunately
for Gabriel, Raphael came from above and smote Vassago
off of him. Then the dynamic duos combined their forces to
defeat the notorious villain, but in spite of their efforts,
Vassago continued to batter the both of them relentlessly.
Lucifer on the other hand appeared to be unstoppable he
plowed through Heaven's primary lines of defense
effortlessly. Analyzing the situation, Michael realized that
Lucifer should be stopped. He grabbed his sword and
confronted Lucifer. Upon noticing Michael approaching
him, Lucifer started to laugh, "You'd dare challenge me?"
Divinely superior to Michael, Lucifer was a Seraph, after
all, and an elite Angel of the highest echelon in Heaven.
Michael was only an Archangel, an amateur of the lowerranking
hierarchy. Lucifer arrogantly assumed that his
victory was inevitable. He then decided to amuse himself,
taking great pleasure in taunting Michael as he dodged the
Archangel's ineffective attacks. "How do you expect to
defeat me, Michael?" said Lucifer. Michael kept on
attacking Lucifer, but on every attempted assault, Lucifer
was capable of successfully evading him. Michael began
yet another battle with Lucifer midair, but alas that strategy
turned out to be in vain, for Lucifer had six wings and
Michael had only two. Michael became exhausted.
CHAPTER II – GREED
Meanwhile, on the earth, Lilith slithered her way
into Eden and there she found Eve alone, wandering in the
Garden of Eden. "My dear, indeed has the Spirit has said,
you shall not eat from any tree of the garden?" said Lilith.
Eve replied, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we
may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the
middle of the garden, the Spirit has said, you shall not eat
from it or touch it or you will die." "Die," Lilith replied,
“Are you sure that the Spirit said that? ‘You shall not eat
from it or touch it or you will die.’ Uh!Uh! Well, let me ask
you this, Eve. What is death?” Eve was puzzled for she did
not know about death. Lilith then said to Eve, "You surely
will not die! For the Spirit knows that on the day that you
eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like
us." So the woman ate from the tree in the middle of the
garden. And her eyes opened, and she knew that she was
naked, so she sewed fig leaves together and made herself
aprons.
Soon thereafter, the Spirit appeared in a form of a
burning bush. Although the bush was aflame, it was not
burnt. Metatron also came along. "What have you done,
Lilith?" said the Spirit. "Behold, the woman has become as
one of us, and now let her put forth her hand, and take also
of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever." Lilith replied,
"You told her that if she eats from the Tree of Knowledge,
she would die. I simply told her that she wouldn't, and from
where I stand she doesn't look dead to me. Does she?”
“That’s not the point” replied Metatron. Indeed, after Eve
ate of the Tree of Knowledge, she did not die as she was
informed. She became more enlightened and was beginning
to see Lilith for what she truly was, she was another created
being just like she was but unlike Eve the Spirit, Lilith and
Metatron are not human they were created by the Almighty
Tetragrammaton themselves. Adam and Eve were simply
second hand creations of another created being, so
therefore those that do dwell in the Heavens are not as
omnipotent as she had previously thought of them to be, for
they too had a creator. Lilith was hoping that perhaps by
providing Eve with the esoteric knowledge of the existence
of Tetragrammaton, it would somehow compensate for the
lack of soul inside her. Perceiving this juncture as a perfect
opportunity to retaliate against Lilith for her adultery,
Metatron then proposed that Lilith's avatar, Eve, be
punished.
And so it was that Metatron and the Spirit
concurred that Eve would be rendered mortal and cast out
of Eden. The decision outraged Lilith and she vowed her
revenge. Back on the battlefield, Lucifer was still toying
with Michael. Each time Michael thought he had gotten the
upper hand, Lucifer would knock him to the ground and
belittle him. "If you can't defeat me, then why don't you lay
down your weapon and join me, Michael, join the
rebellion" demanded Lucifer. "Join us." Michael shouted,
"Join you, never!" Displeased by Michael's refusal, Lucifer
smote him viciously, knocking him to the ground once
again. He then jumped into the air and landed with both his
feet on Michael's chest. He slammed his foot on Michael's
head and entrenched it onto the ground; he then raised his
trident to deliver the final blow. "Here comes the pain,"
Lucifer screamed. Michael lay defenseless on the ground;
he closed his eyes and prayed, "He who dwells in the secret
place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty. My Lord, you are my refuge and my fortress,
and in you I will trust. Surely, you shall deliver me from
the snares of evil; your truth shall be my shield. I shall not
be afraid of the terror of Deimos, nor of the destruction that
lay waste. A thousand may fall at my left side and ten
thousand at my right but death shall not come near me
because you have set your love upon me and through you I
shall be victorious. Amen.
" Before Lucifer could impale him, Michael
grabbed him by the foot and threw him off. Shocked,
Lucifer did not know what hit him. Suddenly, a beam of
light enveloped Michael, and sparks of lightning
manifested on his body; his sword became ablaze; his eyes
became like a flame of fire and his body began to
transform.
Dramatically, four additional wings grew out of
Michael's angelic body, Lucifer realized to his horror that
Michael had ascended from an Archangel to a Seraph. The
two Angels were now equal in attributes. Michael turned
around with a smirk and said, "My turn." Lucifer got back
up and shuddered his wings, not fazed a bit by Michael's
transformation; he started clapping, sarcasm rippling
through his voice. "Welcome to the guild, schmuck, but
unfortunately for you there's only room for one Seraph on
this battlefield." Then, Lucifer furiously assaulted him with
all types of syndicated attacks. But Michael was stronger
than him now, and Lucifer was getting trounced regardless
of what he did. Eventually, one by one, Michael cuts off
Lucifer’s wings, all six of them. Lucifer had finally been
defeated. Then, taking his flaming sword, Michael raised it
as high as possible above his head and then strokes it to the
ground. And almost instantly a huge portal was opened.
Heaven's warriors were regaining their momentum on the
battlefield, and simultaneously they began to steer the
rebels in the direction of the abyss.
"Welcome to Hell," said Michael to Lucifer. The
army of darkness was being consumed by Hell's fury.
Lucifer was hanging off the edge of the threshold, and just
before he fell, Michael caught him in an attempt to save
him. Lucifer's imperious pride was crushed; an inferior
being had defeated him. At that very moment, the prideful
overlord found himself at the mercy of a mere tyro. Yet
defiantly, he shouted, "I don't need your pity, Michael. I
will not spend eternity as your second, every breath you
now take is an insult to my honor, by my hands you will be
cut down inch by inch, the way you have cut out my wings"
He then made one last attempt to strike Michael. As a
result, Michael had no other choice but to simply let him
plummet into the pits of Hell. As soon as the abyss
consumed every rebelling Angels, the portal closed.
After the battle, all the Angels gathered in Heaven's
yard to give glory to their maker. "Oh come; let us sing to
the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; let us
shout happily to him with psalms for the Lord is the Great
Lord and the Great King above all. In his hand are the deep
places of the earth; the heights of the hills are his also. The
sea is his, for he made it; and his hands formed the dry
land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel
before the Lord our maker," said Gabriel. To distinguish
the benevolent Angels from the malevolent ones, Metatron
summoned the stars and made halos of them. He then
placed the halos on the heads of Heaven's valiant warriors.
As for those Angels that were fatally wounded on the
battlefield, they were revived as Saints. Back on Earth, Eve
was going through a very difficult time. Expelled from
Eden and stripped of her immortality, she was also haunted
by the mysteries of death.
During Eve’s incident, Adam was slumbering, and
when he woke up she was not by his side, so he went out
looking for her. But she was nowhere to be found. Adam
could not figure out what had happened, but he felt that
something was quite different, for there were now
Cherubim armed with flaming swords guarding the
entrance of Eden. "Eve, Eve, where are you, Eve?"
screamed Adam. Then the Angel Gabriel appeared. "She's
gone, Adam," said Gabriel. "Gone? What do you mean
gone?" replied Adam. "She is a sinner now. She ate from
the Tree of Knowledge, and consequently she has been cast
away from paradise forever. She is now at the mercy of
death. Come and let me show you," offered Gabriel. He
took Adam to a nearby exit and there she was. She hardly
looked like the woman Adam had known; almost
everything about her had changed, except her beautiful
eyes.
Eve did not venture too far from the gates of Eden
since there was no other place for her to go. She looked
miserable. She was afraid, alone, cold, and hungry. And
being mortal was now the least of her worries, as even the
animals had turned against her. Adam wanted to leave the
perimeter to be with her, but the Cherubim, who were
guarding the exit, stopped him. Adam then said, "Take me
back, take me back, please, because I can't stand to see her
like this." As they walked back, Adam stopped in the
middle of the garden where the Tree of Life and the Tree of
Knowledge stood. "Tell me again, Gabriel, what Eve did to
deserve such a fate?" He asked. Gabriel replied, "She
disobeyed the one rule and ate from the Tree of
Knowledge." Adam pointed in the direction of the Tree of
Knowledge and asked, "You mean this tree?" He then
walked closer toward the Tree of Knowledge and plucked a
fresh fruit. Gabriel cautioned him, reminding him of the
consequences of eating the fruit. Then Adam said, "Her
eyes, her lips, her smile, her tenderness every inch of her
makes it worth it. I love that woman, Gabriel, and I would
rather spend a brief lifetime out there with her than spend
an eternity in paradise without her." Then he ate the
forbidden fruit.
Soon thereafter, Adam was cursed, stripped of his
immortality, and banned from paradise. But he did not
seem to care. Adam did not wait to be escorted out of
Eden--he ran out himself. Once Adam found Eve, he
hugged her, and he kissed her with so much passion that all
the Angels in heaven wept. Eve said, "Adam, you." Before
Eve could finish saying whatever she was going to say,
Adam interrupted her and said, "Shhh! don’t say a word
and kiss me.” Eve felt guilty for what had happened, but
Adam was quick to reassure her.
He whispered, "I'd echoed tenfold of my first
disobedience and devour the fruits of that forbidden tree
whose mortal taste begot death into our world. Adieu,
Eden. Nevermore regained. What's the point of
immortality, if I could never touch, taste, and smell the
scent of you? I'd echoed tenfold of my first disobedience to
be with you, woman.” When Metatron saw Heaven
weeping for humanity, he knew that he had to do whatever
it would take to redeem humankind. After his shameful
defeat, Lucifer sat on his throne in Hell, contemplating the
next course of action. Hell was much like the planet earth,
however, there were volcanic activities happening almost
everywhere. All of the plants were flaccid. Rivers and lakes
existed, but the water in some of the lakes was black. The
sun was ever absent, and the only source of light was a
watery, blue moon. Lucifer’s character had changed
dramatically the flamboyant Seraph was now overwhelmed
by disgrace; and it seemed that the overbearing and
narcissist Seraph had ceased to enjoy the center stage.
When he had to make an appearance, he would usually
rather do so while lurking in the dark. The fallen Angels
were not accustomed to Hell. No one had any idea how
long they would be trapped there, or how to escape. One
thing was sure: they were willing to do anything to get out.
There were strong indications of a mutiny growing among
the fallen Angels, but no one had dared to express
discontent.
To ease the tension, Lucifer decided to give a
speech; the entire army assembled before him. Before he
even commenced his speech, another portal, much like the
one that hauled them into Hell, opened up. But this one was
much smaller. Soon thereafter, a woman with a beautiful
pair of legs came walking out of the portal. “Miss me?” It
was her, Lilith. The entire army bowed down in respect to
the Queen of the Universe.
As excited as Lucifer was to see her, he was also
ashamed, for he had failed in his attempted coup. He was
now a vanquished, wingless Seraph, who was trapped in
the pits of Hell. Lucifer walked up to the podium and said,
“Many of you fought valiantly in our attempt to capture the
Heavens. Your being here proves that you have longed for
unlimited freedom, a liberty which you all deserve in a
world where the only rule would be that there are no rules.
Hell, the place that you find yourselves in today, is only
temporary. I will do everything in my power to release you.
Do not think of this as an imprisonment. Think of it as a
sort of retreat. When we strike back, we will give Heaven a
taste of its own medicine. Do not be discouraged by this
minor setback you may have lost the battle, but the war has
just begun” The crowd started cheering, “Lucifer! Lucifer!
Lucifer!” And Lucifer opened up his arms as if he was
consuming the crowd’s cheers. Then, Lilith resuscitated the
fallen rebels who perished during the conflict. Since the
auras of Deimos were still in them, they became known as
Demons.
Unlike Lucifer and the fallen angels, Lilith could
not be punished, imprisoned, or destroyed for her
involvement in the failed coup. After all, she was
Metatron's counterpart, and co-creator of the Universe.
Although her relationship with Metatron had gone sour, she
retained her access to the Heavens the sun was still her
shroud, the moon remained under her feet, and she still
wore the stars as her crown. Although it was unclear to
everyone in Heaven what attracted Lilith to Lucifer, the
two became a formidable couple and not even the isolation
of Hell could keep them apart. Lilith often stated, "Hell
could not stop true love. All it can do is delaying it for a
while." “What is this place?” Lucifer asked. Lilith looked
around and said, “This must be one of Metatron's little
creations. Without my contributing powers, he was not able
to perfect it. So this is the best he could come up with?
Obviously, this place could use a female’s touch.”
She slithered around, and fresh vegetation began to grow in
Hell. The volcanic activities stopped; the dark waters
became clearer. She looked around some more and noticed
that there were no animals. So she commenced to create a
few by herself. She took some of the earth, then some water
and made mud. Forming a shape, she blew some air into it
until it was dry. Then she dipped it into the fiery lava. The
first hellish creature was a half-man, half-lion with wings.
On his head were two horns; his hair was as long as a
woman’s and his teeth were like that of a lion’s. He had a
tail like a scorpion’s tail which had stings on it. He wore a
breastplate of iron and carried a bow with flaming arrows;
when he fluttered his wings, there were sounds of thunder.
Lilith named this creature Manticore.
Then Lilith created a reptile-like creature that had
green scaly skin, wings, and a very long tail; it also
breathed fire. As soon as the creature came to life, it
exhaled such a humongous fireball that Lucifer was
impressed. Lucifer then jumped on its back and rode it,
since he could no longer fly. The creature soon became his
personal carrier and he named it Dragon. However, Lilith
could not produce perfect creatures all by herself,
especially without Metatron's contribution. Lilith made one
last attempt at another creation, producing creature with the
head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish
instead of legs. She called her Mermaid. As beautiful as she
was, the mermaid was one of the fiercest creatures and due
to her amphibious nature she is the only native of Hell
capable of coming into the human world.
“What do we do now, my Queen?” said Lucifer.
“Well, the good news is that humankind has fallen,”
said Lilith. “I see. So what does that have to do with me
getting out of Hell and winning the war?” Lucifer replied.
“Everything, silly,” said Lilith, “You lost the battle
mainly because Heaven had the Spirit on their side.
Remember when I told you that the Spirit had given
humankind a soul? Well, human souls are particles of the
Spirit. If you can collect enough souls here in Hell, you can
generate a being that is equivalent to or even more
powerful than the Spirit.
It’s simple: the more humanity sins, the more souls
you get, and the more souls you get, the more chances you
have of defeating Heaven.” Lucifer clapped and then said,
“Bravo! Excellent plan. Why did I not think of that?” Lilith
said, “But wait, there’s more. I will use my access to the
Heavens to tempt the remaining Angels, and once they do
fall, these Angels will not be sent here to Hell. They will
remain on earth to assist me with my tasks. And once I get
you out of hell, you will have another army of Devils
encamped on earth.” Lucifer then said, “Brilliant! Any
chance of an early parole? Lilith replied, “Any chance of
you accepting Metatron as your Lord and Savior?” “It is
better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven,” said Lucifer.
Lilith nodded, “Is it? Be careful of what you wish
for."
Then, she snapped her fingers and the portal
reopened. She walked toward the portal and, poof, she was
gone. The harsh reality was that as powerful as Lilith was,
she was incapable of getting Lucifer and his minions out of
Hell. It had taken the might of both Metatron and the Spirit
to imprison the rebels there, so the concurrence of either
Metratron or the Spirit would be needed in order for Lilith
to get Lucifer out of Hell. Unfortunately neither Metatron
nor the Spirit wanted anything to do with Lilith at that
moment. But Lilith was more than determined to free her
lover from hell and she knew exactly how to accomplish
this goal.CCHAPTER – III LUST
Back on earth, Adam and Eve were searching for
food in the forest. Suddenly, a ferocious bear came after
them. They dropped their supplies and ran as fast as they
could, but the bear still chased them. While they were
running, Eve fell, but Adam did not noticed until later. The
bear was inches away from attacking Eve, when suddenly
Lilith appeared out of nowhere. With her simple stare, the
menacing bear became as gentle as a puppy. “You should
be more careful in these woods,” said Lilith, as she helped
Eve get back on her feet. Adam then came back running
towards Eve. “Get away from her! Get away! You are the
reason why we are in this situation in the first place,” yelled
Adam. Lilith replied, “I'm the reason why she is not dead
right now.” “What do you want?” asked Adam. Lilith
replied, “How long do you think you are going to survive
like this? You have discovered the gift of knowledge, but
you have yet to explore it.”
“Gift? What gift? All that we have gotten so far is
nothing but pain, hunger, and misery, and eventually we
will both end up dead,” said Adam. Lilith replied, “But it
does not have to be this way, Adam. You are the key holder
and Eve is the gatekeeper. Together, you can sort of cheat
death, you know, by having offspring. Be fruitful and
multiply, remember?” She moved closer to Adam and
started to remove his garments. Adam stood unyielding, in
protest. “Relax, just do as I do,” said Lilith. Adam felt the
bounce of her luscious breast against his own nakedness.
She touched his lips lightly with her own and then fervently
kissed him. The taste of her lips and the sweet aroma of her
flesh aroused Adam and he wanted more, more of this
aphrodisiac that seemed to daze his senses. Lilith then
turned towards Eve, who was standing eagerly to the side.
With her index finger, Lilith signaled for Eve to come over.
The maiden Eve found herself bound, as Adam and Lilith
removed her garments one by one until she was completely
naked.
Adam then kissed Eve with all the tenderness he
could muster. He parted his lips from hers, stroked her
throat, and then cupped her breast, as his hands drifted
farther and farther still, sweeping over her belly; his fingers
moved over her abdomen slowly and the hot, moist trail of
his tongue followed suit. His mouth closed gently upon her
breast, as his tongue roamed teasingly over her hard nipple,
sweeping it again and again. He sank against her. His
fingers brushed the utopian triangle that guarded her
innocence, and then he parted her legs slowly. First, Adam
licked his lips, and then with the tip of his tongue, he
intimately massaged her clitoris. Very soon, he felt the
warmth within her. She twisted restlessly from side to the
side, crying out and bewildered until she reached her
climax. He rose above her, and without hesitating, he
lowered himself on and into her, feeling the initial wet
warmth and then the blockage of her virginal interior.
Adam moved as slowly as he could, yet she cried and
moaned. Her eyes met his briefly, glittering with the tears
that she was fighting back. Adam pondered, was she crying
from the pain or from a fury inside of herself, for he had
managed to excite her to climax before claiming her
innocence. Tremors soon seized him, overwhelming him
again and again, until, at long last, he groaned and reached
climax. As his body filled hers excruciatingly, his own very
life seemed to spill out of him and into her. Then he fell to
her side, struggling to return to his sanity after the blinding
pleasure he had just discovered.
Lilith returned to the Heavens to resume her
conquest where she sought out Samyaza, the leader of the
Grigori. The Grigori were also known as “The Watchers.”
They were a group of Archangels who surreptitiously
monitored the events of humanity. Lilith said to Samyaza,
“Look but don’t touch, touch but don’t taste, taste but don’t
swallow. Aren’t those the decrees that you live by
Samyaza?” The Archangel Samyaza stood there, nonresponsive.
She snapped her fingers, and in the midst of a
cloud appeared the scene of Adam and Eve making
passionate love.
“I know you were watching. It’s always fun to
watch, but it is even better to play along, don‘t you think,
Samyaza? Now, haven’t you ever wondered what it would
be like to touch, to taste, to feel, and to smell the scent of a
woman?” said Lilith. Samyaza remained silent. Lilith
snapped her fingers again and the love making scene was
gone. Then she said,” You’ll never know until you try,
Sam.” Then she vanished. Back on Earth, Eve had become
pregnant and gave birth to a set of triplets a daughter
named Norea and two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain became a
robust man, who labored the fields with his father Adam,
while Abel shepherded the domestic animals and Norea
catered to her mother Eve. One day Lilith appeared to Cain
in the field. “Pauvre Diable, every day, you work tirelessly
on this cursed soil, the scorching sun on your back, your
body aching, your hands and feet blistered. What does Abel
do all day? He spends his days relaxing under a tree,
enjoying the gentle breeze,” said Lilith. Cain replied, “I’m
not envious of my brother’s function nor do I resent him,
for he is weaker than me. Quite frankly, Abel would not
last very long in this field, and that is the reason why he
was appointed as the shepherd. Besides, being a shepherd is
not as harmless and pleasant as you imagine there is always
the danger of wild beasts and of getting lost.” “That may be
so, but, my dear Cain, haven’t you noticed that your parents
have not provided you with a mate”. “In the future, whom
do you think Norea will choose to mate with, an old, rusty
laborer such as yourself or your jovial, shepherd brother
Abel? Cain, you are getting older. If Norea chooses your
brother, then by the time your parents have another child
and if it’s a female you might already be dead. And Oops!
There goes Cain’s legacy,” said Lilith.
Cain stood attentively while being lectured by Lilith
she goes on to say “Death is the cessation of the connection
between our mind and our body.” Cain replied, “You might
be right, but if she does choose Abel over me, I can’t do
anything about it now, can I? I can’t make her love me.”
Lilith laughed and said, “Well! You can always kill Abel
which will take out the competition.” She paused, awaiting
Cain’s reaction. None was forthcoming. Then she laughed
and said, “I’m just kidding. However I do have a way to
help you win Norea's heart. Now listen, during its birth, the
foal will produce a small fragment of tissue on its forehead.
You must take that tissue, dry it, and reduce it to a very fine
powder. After that, take a red apple and remove its core and
the seeds. Fill the hollow with the powder, and then the
opening with that which you have removed. Then, you
must give that apple to Norea. Do this and she will favor
you. But you must act quickly! Now go!” said Lilith.
Cain left the field and went on to prepare the
enchanted apple. “Honey, have you made up your mind yet
as to whom you will wed?” said Eve. “Oh! Mother, I’ve
told you a thousand times. I’m not ready; it is a very
difficult decision. I don’t think you can ever understand my
situation because you never had to choose between my
Father and any other man,” said Norea. “You better choose
fast, honey, because you are not going to live forever, you
know,” said Eve. Meanwhile Lilith took the shape of a
beautiful Angel covered with glittering wings and sought
out Abel who was attending to his flocks. Abel was
searching for a lost lamb in the woods, when he heard the
sound of someone humming nearby. “Frère Jacques, Frère
Jacques, dormez-vouz, dormez-vouz?” hummed Lilith
while she sat on a rock with the lost lamb on her lap. Abel
was very cautious, for his father had already warned him
about a malevolent female being that resembled his mother.
He kept his distance.
“Don’t be afraid, child. I do not bite,” said Lilith.
Abel replied, “You, you are the one my father warned me
about.” “Oh! Yeah! And what did your father say about me,
which had gotten you so spooked? That I was this hideous
being with hooves, two horns and a tail?” said Lilith. “No.
He told me that you were a beautiful malicious being, who
takes pleasure in deceiving others,” said Abel. Then Lilith
transformed herself back to her normal form. Lilith replied,
“I am indeed She, the natural mother of all things, mistress
and governess of all the elements, the initial progeny of
worlds, chief of the powers divine, Queen of all who are in
the other world, the principal of those who dwell above,
manifested alone and under one form of all the gods and
goddesses. I am that I am.” Abel seemed unconvinced, so
Lilith went on to say, “If I was a malevolent being, would I
be here to inform you that at this very moment your brother
Cain is enchanting Norea to be his spouse?” “Ah! I see, and
I suppose you are here to help me get her instead?” said
Abel. “Exactly!” said Lilith. Abel then said, “No offense,
but I don’t need your help. Norea and I have already
pledged our commitment to each other, and she promised
that when the time comes, she would marry me,” said Abel.
Abel then grabbed his lamb and left the forest. Later that
evening when he returned home, he found his family
gathered. “Quick, brother, fetch your best flocks, for
tonight we feast in honor our matrimony,” said Cain. Abel
was confused. He wasn’t quite sure what was happening.
“Norea and I are getting married tonight,” said
Cain, as he wrapped his muscular arm around Abel’s neck
and kissed him on the forehead. Abel felt betrayed. The
whole family was cheerful except for him. As Abel was
heading to the pasture to obtain the animals for the feast,
Lilith reappeared to him. “I’d hate to say that I told you so,
but I told you so. It’s not too late you know. You can
change this,” said Lilith.
Abel replied, “We were so in love and she… she
promised me her heart. How did this happen? “Uhmmm!
It’s something I call “Magick.” A little bit of this and a
little bit of that, and the next thing you know, love is in the
air. But seriously, Abel, your brother used magick. He gave
Norea an enchanted apple and now she is forever his,” said
Lilith. “Magick, eh! It does not matter. What’s done is
done. So be it,” said Abel Abel then gathered the flocks and
headed back to the house. The following morning, the
family made an offering to Heaven. Cain brought an
offering of the fruits of the ground, and Abel brought of the
first of his flock and their fat. While Abel’s offerings were
accepted, Cain’s were not. Heaven was displeased with
Cain’s method of acquiring Norea’s affection. Cain became
very angry and his countenance fell, for he knew that
Heaven was not pleased by his actions.
“What troubled you, my son? Why has your
countenance fallen?” said Adam. Cain replied, “Heaven
does not support my union with Norea for my offerings
were rejected.” “If you do well, why won’t you be
accepted? And if you don’t do what is right, sin lies at your
door and its desire is for you. You must reign over it,” said
Adam. Although Norea was married to Cain, her heart
always belonged to Abel, and soon she began a secret affair
with him that lasted throughout time. When Cain was out in
the field, Norea and Abel would be in the woods together,
enjoying each other’s company. One day, Cain received an
anonymous hint from an unknown source about Norea and
Abel’s extracurricular activities, so he went to the woods
and found Abel lying with his wife. Cain became enraged--
his heart flooded with anger and jealousy and he rose up
against his siblings and killed them. Cain then disposed of
the lifeless bodies in a nearby river.
Moments later, the Angels, Uriel and Anael,
appeared to Cain. “Cain, the voice of your brother’s blood
cried out to me from the ground. You are now cursed from
the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your
brother’s blood. From now on, when you till the ground, it
shall no longer yield its strength to you,” said Uriel. Cain
fell to the ground in remorse. Then the Angel Anael, said,
“The voice of your sister’s blood cried out to me from the
ground. You are now cursed from the earth, which has
opened its mouth to receive your sister’s blood. From now
on you will yearn for passion and thirst for love, but your
yearning and thirst will only be quenched by the blood of
those you love.” Cain replied, “My punishment is greater
than I can bear. This day, you have driven me from the face
of the ground. I shall be hidden from Heaven’s rays, and
anyone who finds me will probably kill me.” “You are
indeed wrong. I shall set a mark on you to prevent anyone
who finds you from killing you. You shall be a fugitive and
a vagabond on the earth,” said Uriel. Cain looked
extremely pale when he returned home. “Where is Abel,
your brother?” said Adam. Cain replied, “I do not know.
Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The evening had almost passed. Norea and Abel
had yet to return home. The family then decided to use the
last few moments of daylight to go out looking for them.
Adam and Eve went in one direction, and Cain went the
opposite way. By the river, the couple discovered the
lifeless body of their son Abel floating in the water. Adam
and Eve fell down and wept over him, and later they
mourned even more for Norea's body was never found. As
for Cain, he never returned. He alone traveled to various
remote locations. One afternoon while lodging a riverbank,
he noticed a mysterious woman bathing. He waved at her.
She smiled and waved back, and then they became
acquainted and traveled together.
Cain declared, “To life, love, serendipity, and to our
hopes and dreams. To the memories that we have created
and to the future and especially, to the present. For I, Cain,
have no regrets, and the good or the bad is of no
importance to me. I have sinned, been cursed, cast away,
and now here I stand, oblivious to the past. My paradise is
now obsolete, vanished; everything will be anew, for my
life, my contentment, and everything that I am from now on
recommence with you.” Cain settled in a land he called
Nod, which was situated on the eastern side of Eden, and
later begot a son named Enoch. Cain had built a city, which
he also named after his son Enoch. Cain had many children,
and he lived quite a normal life despite his curse, until one
day his wife Serena went missing. Even after a few months
of her disappearance, Cain refused to believe that she was
dead. He decided to go in search of her, so the city was left
under the leadership of Enoch, his eldest son.
CHAPTER IV – ENVY
Now it happened that men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters were born to them. The
Angels of Heaven became enticed by the beauty of the
daughters of men, and their desire toward the daughters of
humankind grew stronger with each passing moment.
“Look, humankind has become like us. They know Good
from Evil, but unlike us, they have become creators with
the power to create beings like themselves,” said Azazel.
Samyaza replied, “Indeed, but unfortunately for
mankind, their days are also numbered.” “Ah! The power
to create and destroy, and to love and hate. Now the
humans have all that power, I tell you. As for us watchers,
what do we get? The simple duty of watching the evolution
of humanity.
Don’t you ever wonder what it would be like to
make love to a woman?” said Azazel. Samyaza replied,
“That opportunity was once made available to me by the
Queen not too long ago.” “You what? You met the
Queen…face to face? And she offered to make you human
and you refused?” said Azazel. “Yeah! But you heard the
stories about the Queen, there is always a catch with her.
She often promised to do one thing, but at the end she does
another. Besides I did not want to upset Heaven and end up
in Hell like Lucifer,” said Samyaza. “Oh, come on. What’s
the worst that could happen? Lucifer sinned and he ended
up with his own dominion. The Humans sinned, and as you
can see, apart from being mortals, their lives have become
more interesting. And the Queen, well, she’s the Queen,”
said Azazel. So the two adventurous Archangels abandoned
their posts and sought the assistance of Lilith. At the
entrance of the seventh Heaven, they found Lilith waiting
as if she had been expecting them. “I’ve been expecting
you. Come.” said Lilith.
Together, the trio left the realms of the Heavens and
descended to the Earth. “Welcome to my playground,” said
Lilith. Zealously, Azazel replied, “Oh! We want to be
humans! We want to be humans!” “Do you now?” said
Lilith. Samyaza replied, “We will pledge our fealty to you
if you make us human. We want to be able to marry and
have children, but we don’t want to lose our immortality
nor our divine knowledge. And we certainly don‘t want to
go to Hell.” “Ah, I see. Since you are both Archangels, I
can’t just humanize you well not unless you want to be
reincarnated as such. But what I can do is grant you
temporary human bodies so that you can enjoy all of the
prerequisites of being human,” said Lilith. As soon as she
said all this, a glowing light covered the Archangels, and
their halo and wings disappeared. When the light was gone,
they were smaller in size. Samyaza and Azazel were now
corporeal. “Wow,” they both said, as they inspected their
new figures. “When those bodies can no longer sustain life,
I will provide you with another,” said Lilith
The two former Archangels were very pleased with
the results so they left Lilith’s presence. Samyaza and
Azazel were very enthusiastic, though they were unsure as
to where to go or what to do next. Looking down towards a
small settlement that was located on a hill, Samyaza and
Azazel noticed that people there were fleeing in panic, so
they went down to investigate. As they approached the
village, everyone was running away. “Run, men, run for
your lives!” someone shouted while the crowd stampeded
away. “What…what is going on?” stammered Samyaza.
But the man kept on running as fast as he could. Moments
later, Samyaza and Azazel found themselves standing face
to face with a forty-three feet long, thirteen feet tall bipedal
carnivore, wielding a massive skull and a very long tail.
The reptilian terrorist had developed an insatiable appetite
for human flesh.
While the villagers were escaping, Samyaza and
Azazel confronted the maleficent beast. After an intense
battle, they overpowered and killed the tyrannosaurus. The
settlement was now safe. Azazel and Samyaza became
heroes among the villagers. “Where did you come from?
How can we repay you? My friends do come,” said
Bobulus. Although the battle was intense, Samyaza and
Azazel did not think that they had accomplished anything
worthy of so many praises. “We came from the north,” said
Azazel “We actually need to get going,” said Samyaza
“Stay, please, I'm Bobulus, chief of the village. Let some
water be brought, wash your feet and rest yourselves. Ishtar
and Atta…,” said Bobulus. Ishtar and Atta came out of the
tent. As soon as Azazel and Samyaza saw them, the two
felt as if the whole universe had stopped abruptly. Their
eyes became as wide as those of an owl’s; for Ishtar and
Atta were the two most beautiful women they had ever
seen.
“Get the house ready to receive our guests. Tell
your mother to prepare a feast and bring us some wine,”
said Bobulus. As Ishtar and Atta began serving Samyaza
and Azazel wine, the men could not help themselves they
stared at them in admiration. The women were drawn to
them as well, for they were handsome and taller, stronger,
and braver than all of the other men in the land. Later,
Samyaza and Azazel became permanent residents of the
settlement and it was not long before they took the
daughters of Bobulus as wives. The people of that
settlement never knew of the secret identities of the two
men. Azazel taught the villagers the art of metalwork,
weaponry and warfare, while Samyaza utilized his divine
knowledge to teach them the esoteric practice of herbal
medicines. And so it was.
Compared to the other settlements, the city of
Enoch became very advanced. Before Cain went on his
quest for he had worked industriously to hold the city and
its citizens to higher standards. Enoch was a city of
commerce, where the merchandise of gold, silver, precious
stones and pearls, fine silk garments, every kind of citron
wood, every kind of object of ivory, incense fragrant oil,
every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron
and marble could easily be found. After Enoch died, Cain’s
grandson, Lamech, became the ruler of the city. He took for
himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the
other was named Zillah. Adah bore him two sons, Jabal,
who became a shepherd, and Jubal, who was a musician.
As for Zillah, she also bore Lamech two children, Tubal-
Cain and Naamah. Tubal-Cain became a great warrior and
an instructor of every artisan in bronze and iron. Tubal-
Cain’s younger sister Naamah died a brutal death at an
early age. He never forgave the Heavens for allowing his
sister to die. He had reoccurring nightmares of her death
and the phantom of his sister often manifested itself to him.
“Hazor, come to Hazor,” she would say with
distress, but Tubal-Cain could not figure out what this all
meant. Tubal-Cain soon became the most prominent figure
in his father’s monarchy, even though he was the third heir
to the throne. As it turns out, he was not only a great
warrior, but also a very skilled necromancer, mainly due to
an upbringing by his mother Zillah, who was indeed very
knowledgeable in the mystical arts. After the inspiring
transformation of Samyaza and Azazel, more Angels came
to Lilith for the same, and she gave all of them human
forms. They were numbered three hundred, and as a group,
they called themselves the Nephilims. And it also came to
pass that when these sons of Heaven came down to Earth,
they built themselves a great city. They called it Hazor.
The city of Hazor was a replica of the city of
Angels, with walls, great and high, and twelve gates. On
the east, there were three gates; on the north three gates; on
the south three gates; and on the west three gates, too. The
city of Hazor, with its twelve foundations, lay foursquare,
measuring twelve thousand furlongs, the length as large as
the breadth. The length, the breadth, and the height of it
were all equal. The wall of jasper measured thereof one
hundred forty-four cubits. The city was of pure gold.
Precious stones garnished the foundations of the wall. The
first foundation was of jasper, the second of sapphire, the
third of a chalcedony, the fourth of emerald, the fifth of
sardonyx, the sixth of sard, the seventh of chrysolite, the
eighth of beryl, the ninth of topaz, the tenth of
chrysoprases, the eleventh of jacinth, and the twelfth of
amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Every other
gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city of Hazor
was made of pure gold.
The city of Angels in Heaven and that of Hazor on
Earth differed, for the Nephilims were forced to build a
palace for shelter due to the various seasons on earth. The
palace was sixty cubits in length; its width was twenty, and
its height thirty cubits. The vestibule of the palace was
twenty cubits long, running across the width of the house
and the width of the vestibule that extended ten cubits from
the front of the palace. And the palace windows were
reinforced with beveled frames. Against the wall of the
palace, they were chambers all around, all around the
shelter and the inner shelter. The lowest chamber was five
cubits wide; the middle was six cubits wide and the third
was seven cubits wide. Narrow ledges wrapped around the
outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not
be fastened into the walls of the palace. The palace was
built with stone that was finished at the quarry, for it was
that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was too be heard
during the palace’s construction. The doorway leading to
the middle story was on the right side of the palace. One
went up by stairs to the middle story and from the middle to
the third story.
Having finished building the palace, they paneled it
with beams and boards of cedar. The side chambers, each
five cubits high, were attached to the palace with cedar
beams. The inside walls of the palace were also built with
cedar boards. From the floor of the palace to the ceiling,
they paneled the inside with wood, and they covered the
floor of the palace with planks of cypress. Then the
Nephilims built a twenty cubit room at the rear of the
palace, using cedar boards from the floor to the ceiling. The
inside of the palace was of cedar, carved with ornamental
buds and open flowers. The inner shelter was twenty cubits
long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. They
overlaid it with pure gold. To commemorate their origins,
the Nephilims then made two cherubim statues of olive
wood, each ten cubits high. One wing of the cherub was
five cubits, and the other was five cubits, altogether ten
cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.
The other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim
were of the same size and shape. Then they set the
cherubim statue inside the inner room; and they stretched
out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one
touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched
the other wall; and their wings touched each other in the
middle of the room. They also overlaid the cherubim statue
with gold. And then the Nephilims carved all the walls of
the palace, both the inner and outer shelters, with the
images of Cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The city
of Hazor was unlike any other cities on Earth, as it was
built on top of the highest peak of a mountain called Mount
Hermon. The enchanted city was the largest and the most
advanced city on Earth. “At last, the city is complete. What
is above is now below," said Anak. Then they said to one
another, "Come let us choose us wives from among the
children of men and beget us children."
So the Nephilims went to the cities of men and
chose wives for themselves. Fascinated by the splendors of
the city, the men’s daughters even referred to it as the new
paradise. Since all of the treasures of the earth were made
available to them, the women did not yearn for their past
habitats. Hazor maintained great relationships with its
surrounding neighbors, and the people lived in peace. The
Nephilims taught men astrology, meteorology, and the
mysteries of magick. Humankind stopped looking to the
Heavens for assistance because the mysteries of the
universe were being revealed to them by the Nephilims. It
was then that humankind truly began to have dominion
over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, and every living
thing that moved upon the earth. Although the Nephilims
had been Angels, they did not have any deformities.
However, once they begot children with the
daughters of men, their offspring became an abomination
upon the earth. Some of them were giants; they were called
Anakim, also known as the mighty men of old, men of
renown. The others were human beings with wings who
were capable of flying; and then there were the amphibious
ones who called themselves Leviathans. The Leviathans are
fearless creatures, their backs has rows of shields tightly
sealed together; each is so close to the next that no air can
pass between, they are joined fast to one another; they cling
together and cannot be parted. Their snorting throws out
flashes of light; their eyes are like the rays of dawn,
firebrands stream from their mouths; sparks of fire shoot
out. Smoke pours from their nostrils as from a boiling pot
over a fire of reeds, their breaths sets coals ablaze, and
flames dart from their mouths, strength resides in their
necks; dismay goes before them. The folds of their flesh are
tightly joined; they are firm and immovable, their chests are
hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone. When they rises up,
the mighty are terrified; they retreat before their thrashings,
the sword that reaches them has no effect, nor does the
spear or the dart or the javelin. Iron, they treat them like
straws, bronze like rotten wood, and arrows do not make
them flee; sling-stones are like chaff to them. A club seems
to them but a piece of cake; they laugh at the rattling of the
lance. Their undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail
in the mud like a threshing sledge, they make the depths
churn like a boiling caldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of
ointment.
Due to their abnormalities, the children of the
Nephilims could not properly adapt to the human societies.
As the descendants of the Nephilims grew in numbers,
humankind became more fearful of them, and resentments
surfaced. One particular incident further affected the
already fragile relation between the Humans and the
Nephilims. It was about a young aerial Nephilim boy
named Demete and a young human girl named Naamah.
Demete was a unique hybrid he was born halfhuman,
half-Angel, and despite the animosity that existed
between their distinctive species, Demete and Naamah had
become great friends. One day, when Demete grew his last
layers of feathers that finally enabled him to take flight, he
received a pleading request from Naamah to take her with
him. Now, in matters of flight, the young neophyte could
barely stay above the trees, yet alone transport a passenger.
But Naamah was persistent. “Hang on tight to me,” Demete
said to her as he tried to gain his equilibrium. The couple
joyfully navigated through the clear blue sky. As Demete
began to gain more confidence in his new ability to fly, he
started to take riskier twists and turns. “Let’s go over
there,” said Naamah, pointing towards a nearby cascading
river. As the adventurous pair made their descent toward
the water, Demete decided to fly behind the lengthy
waterfall. In the heat of excitement, Naamah reached out to
take a swipe at the pouring water. And she did, but
unfortunately while doing such, Demete’s wings got wet
and the amateur navigator lost control. Naamah fell two
hundred feet to the unyielding boulders below. Demete
tried to save her while she was free falling, but sadly his
efforts were in vain.
When Demete returned to Naamah’s village with
her deceased body, the villagers were outraged. The young
Demete tearfully tried to explain to them what had
happened, but the grieving crowd would not listen. Instead,
they gathered into a belligerent mob. Recognizing what the
crowd had become, Demete flew away to safety and vowed
never to return. As Nephilim elders passed away, their
descendants became more influential in affecting the fate of
Hazor, and so the relationship between the human cities
and the city of Hazor deteriorated.
At last, King Anak, the only surviving elder of the
Nephilims, died. But before he passed away, he wished that
the humans and the Nephilims would coexist in harmony,
as they once did. This all but failed, however, due to the
Leviathan’s desire to annihilate humankind from the face of
the earth. The Leviathans and their leader Dagon selfishly
believed that since the earth was largely composed of water
and they were amphibious beings, they could claim the
entire earth as theirs. Therefore, they wanted to exterminate
all human beings. The Leviathans would have pursued their
wicked plan if the Anakims, who had confronted Dagon,
had not interceded for the sake of humankind. So the
Leviathans gave up their plans, or so it seemed. Lilith had
betrayed the elder Nephilims, by not granting them a newly
body upon death, as she previously promised.
The spirits of the Nephilims became angry, so they
merged themselves into one giant fog and summoned
Lilith. “Liar! You promised us another body when our old
one died!” said the Nephilim’s phantom. Lilith replied, “Be
content, you Devils. Most Angels do not get the
opportunity to experience your lives. At this very moment,
Heaven is preparing to destroy the Earth. If I give you
another body, it would be destroyed by Heaven’s wrath
eventually.” “These atrocities must stop. Heaven must be
stopped,” said the Nephilim’s phantom, growing angrier by
the news of Earth‘s possible destruction. Soon, the phantom
split into three categories some remained loyal to Lilith and
serve her willingly; others became neutral, not wanting to
associate themselves with anything nor anyone; and finally
there were those that sought their redemption by assisting
humanity under the pretext that they were gods.
Lilith transformed those who did not want to
associate themselves with any matter whatsoever into
constellations; they were eighty-eight in numbers. As for
those who were willing to abide by Lilith, they became
known as the Devils, and since they had traded their
Angelic forms for human bodies, they were now
amorphous. They became wild Spirits, unable to assume
any physical shape whatsoever. The ubiquitous Devils’
duties were to incite every creature to transgression and not
even those in the Heavens were safe from their temptations.
Meanwhile, on earth, the city of Enoch came under the
leadership of Tubal-Cain, son of Lamech, a descendant of
Cain. Although his methods were often barbaric, Tubal-
Cain became a warmonger and a military genius. His allies
as well his enemies admired him, for his cleverness were
phenomenal.
CHAPTER V – GLUTTONY
By trade, Tubal-Cain had been a blacksmith. He
was very proficient in the art of war and possessed the
ability to manufacture the best weapons., his army were
always well equipped on the battlefield. Tubal-Cain carried
the most sophisticated weapon ever known to humankind a
rune battle ax, also named the ax of destruction by his
enemies. Tubal-Cain’s battle ax consisted of a blade,
topped with a spike that was mounted on a long shaft. A
thorn on the backside of the blade existed in order to
grapple mounted combatants. His ax was reinforced with
metal rims over the shaft, thus increasing its effectiveness
in battle and making it an effective weapon for blocking
other weapons such as swords and clubs. It was also
believed that the runic symbols engraved into Tubal-Cain’s
battle ax could make him invincible during a battle.
When Tubal-Cain came to power, he and his armies
invaded all of the surrounding settlements and he
annihilated those who refused to live under his dominance.
Heaven saw that the wickedness was great upon the earth,
and there was evil in the minds and hearts of humankind.
Metatron regretted that he had created humankind on the
earth, and grieved in his heart. “My Spirit shall not strive
with mankind forever for they are indeed mortals, at the
dawn of their darkness era, they will tear off their clothes
and beg the heavens for mercy, and in anguish they will
scream, ‘Heaven! Save us,’ and Heaven will reply ‘No”.
Due to wickedness of humankind and the Nephilims’
debauchery, Heaven ceased the morning dews and a great
famine came upon the land. Tubal-Cain then assembled his
armies, heightening their morale by promising them a large
city where bread would fall from the sky. “A city flowing
with milk and honey…,” he proclaimed.
Now well advanced in age, Cain lost hope in
finding his wife. He returned to the location where he first
met her to reminisce about his past. He thought that
perhaps he had been blitzed by sorcery and his soul drained
of its purity. Hade’s vile hands had hardened his heart, for
all he loved had vanished like the sweet morning dew,
devoured away by the hounds of hell. His soul seemed
incapable of sustaining this perilous emotion called love,
but he realized that he must remain in the company of his
demons. Shortly after this realization, Cain lifted his head
and looked toward the extremity of the river, where he
caught a glimpse of a beautiful young maiden bathing in
the water. Cain moved closer towards her. Surprisingly, the
woman was none other than his Serena, who looked the
same as she did the first time they had met. She had not
aged a bit. Cain could not believe his eyes.
When Serena saw Cain, she plunged back into the
water in an attempt to elude him, but Cain followed suit
and dove in the water after her. As Cain swam down deeper
and deeper into the depths of the river, he began to lose
consciousness, and his life flashed before his very eyes.
While he was drowning, Cain started to realize that his wife
might not have been of this world. He took one final breath,
passed out and then sunk to the bottom of the river. Later,
Cain awakened, not knowing where he was and how he had
survived the drowning. But he was alive and felt vigorous.
Unconvinced of his existence, Cain scrutinized the gloomy
cave, as he approached a nearby river to peek at his
reflection. But he could not see his image reflected in the
water. He panicked, quickly placing his hands on his head
and his chest, and then he examined the rest of his body.
Everything was in place, except for his canine teeth, which
seemed to be abnormal.
“We meet at last,” said an echoing voice. Cain
turned around but there was no one there. Anxiously, Cain
replied, “Unhidden yourself whomever you are!” Without
realizing it, Cain scoured the whole area at lightning speed
but he could not see anyone else there. Then, suddenly, out
of the darkness appeared the desolate one. Ever more
skeptical, Cain just stared at the colossal being. Lucifer was
an intimidating figure. Due to his grandeur, most beings
were daunted by him. So when Lucifer became visible, he
expected Cain to shrivel in fear. But he did not intimidate
Cain. Belligerently, Lucifer then swiftly moved closer
toward Cain, attempting to startle him. Cain remained
unflustered by Lucifer’s presence and in fact, he disliked
Lucifer from the moment he first laid eyes on him. Ever
since he had learned from Lilith that humans were far more
superior to any other created beings in the Heavens, even
himself, Lucifer developed an animosity towards humanity.
The Angelic beings were composed of one of four
elements, Earth, Air, Fire, or Water. But humankind was
different and special, having been created with of all those
four elements combined. In addition, humankind had an
extra element, an ethereal soul, a fifth element that no other
beings possessed. As a result, humankind was by far the
more superior to any other creatures in the Heavens. From
the Angels, humans acquired the element of Earth and so
their skin is of Earth. From the Seraphim, humans acquired
the element of Fire and so their body heat is of Fire. From
the Cherubim, humans acquired the element of Air and so
their breath is of Air. From the Thrones, humans acquired
the element of Water and so humankind’s saliva is of
Water. Lastly, the humans acquired their souls directly
from the Holy Spirit itself. Meanwhile, in Heaven,
Metatron, Lilith and the Spirit convened. Besides Metatron
and Lilith’s peculiar dilemma, the fate of humankind was
the main focus. Despite of Lilith’s adultery, Metatron still
had strong feelings for her, and deep in his heart, he wanted
to forget it all and reconciled with her. But there was the
matter of principles involved. Ever since the fall of man
and woman, the Spirit saw them as eminent threats to the
universe. The Spirit had previously suggested that
humankind ought to be exterminated, but Metatron and
Lilith did not support this notion, for they were both strong
advocates for humanity. Lilith often criticized the Spirit for
granting humankind Freewill, which she thought had
hypocritically condemned them that is, when they were to
finally exercise their will. Lilith was also still upset at
Metatron for conspiring with the Spirit in order to banish
her lover, Lucifer, to Hell and for causing Eve to lose her
immortality. When Metatron and the Spirit connived
against Lilith so as to cast Eve out of the Garden of Eden,
they did not surmise that their beloved Adam would
sacrifice his place in paradise for Eve‘s sake.
Lilith also accentuated during the convening, that it
was the Spirit that hinted Cain in regards to the affairs of
Norea and Abel which resulted to Cain’s atrocious acts.
The Spirit argued vindictively, calling Lilith a harlot and
blaming her, for she had fornicated with their creations.
Not wanting to prolong this quarrel, Metatron angrily stood
up and authoritatively yelled, “SILENCE!” His voice
echoed and throughout the entire universe, there was a
great calm. Metatron and the Spirit then concurred that
since the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth,
and all their intentions were continuously evil, they would
annihilate them from the face of the earth, including beasts,
creeping things, and birds of the air, for they were very
disappointed by the comportment of humankind. Lilith
disagreed with this decision, but by order of consensus, she
was incapable of affecting their decisions. So she left
Heaven in an odious mood. Meanwhile on earth, Tubal-
Cain and his armies were left with no other settlements or
cities to conquer, apart from a few derisive rebels. Yet
Tubal-Cain insisted on eradicating them, nonetheless. “I
have no interest in prisoners, kill them all!” he ordered his
men and so they slaughtered them all. At last, he had
absolute domination. Tubal-Cain was now prepared to
attain his utmost desire becoming the supreme ruler of the
city of Hazor. “If you kill a man, you are a murderer. If you
kill many men, you are a King, and if you kill them all,
then you are a god.” These were the dying words of his
mother, Zillah, the sorceress, and her words inspired him as
he fought battles through the years. Tubal-Cain knew that
capturing Hazor would require an immense army, and for
that reason, he had been annexing all of his surrounding
cities.
With his conquest over, he marched his army of
Canaanites toward the city of Hazor. Throughout the course
of the night, as they approached the vicinity of Hazor,
Tubal-Cain could see the gleaming lights of the enchanted
city from a great distance. His zealous to conquer it grew
stronger, but he knew that getting to the heart of the city
itself would be a difficult task. A few moments afterward
the fatigued army was fast asleep, Tubal-Cain and his men
began experimenting lucid dreams, they each dreamed of
themselves zealously making love to their desired women.
All seemed well, the men were in blissful ecstasy but
several hours has passed, Tubal-Cain could not be awaken
from his current stance, he had been paralyzed in his state
of mind, that's when Tubal-Cain, the necromancer realized
that he had been under the influence of a group of
malignant spirits called succubus. During Tubal-Cain's
apprenticeship as a necromancer he had heard of the
incubus and succubus cliques, but he then believed that
they were nothing more than mere fables told by perverted
old men. As the tale goes the incubus and succubus are the
ancient spirits of the Nephilims who were once Angels
living up in the heavens, but due to their vehement
fondness for the women of the earth, they choose to
become mortals and co-inhabitants of the earth together
with humanity. After the death of them, their spirits
remained cursed wanderers of the earth forever, yearning
continuously for the mortal pleasures they once enjoyed as
humans, particularly of sexual pleasures. The culprit spirits
often manifested themselves in the appearance of the most
attractive human beings in order to seduce men and women
in their dreams; the male phantoms were known as incubus
while their female counterparts were called succubus. The
succubus clan are insatiably lustful fiends, as they took
possession of Tubal-Cain's body they first took away his
vocalization rendering him speechless.
Then they paralyzed his entire body so to prevent
him from easily awaken and then they excessively aroused
him causing him immense sexual pleasures in his lucid
dreams, but in reality Tubal-Cain was asphyxiating,
motionless and unable to scream himself awake. He
struggled in vain but he's being tied down by that dreadful
feeling of helplessness which paralyzed him in his dreams,
he wanted to cry out but he could not, he wanted to move
but he could not. He tried making sudden strenuous efforts,
gasping for breath, attempting to turn on his side, to throw
off this vile creature who is crushing him and suffocating
him but he simply could not do so. Tubal-Cain was steadily
dying in his sleep but he could not do anything about it.
Then he remembered the legend, he recalled his mother
Zillah, the sorceress teaching him the sanctified words to
pronounce if he had ever stumble upon such malevolent
creatures. "Adam & Eve, Adam & Eve" he thought to
himself, then it all started coming back to him now, he
remember his mother once told him that there is nothing
else these lustful demented spirits desired more than the
first man and the first woman. If a man is being besieged
by the female succubus "Fear not" She told him, all one has
to do is think of or say the name Adam and the spirit shall
go away and if a woman is beleaguered by the male
incubus all she has to do it think or say the name Eve and
the spirit shall flee. Hence, Tubal-Cain proclaimed the
name of Adam but the spirit was hesitant to leave then he
said it with more confidence "Yod he vau he, in the name
of Adam be gone". Then at last he was at liberty, he woke
up panic stricken, covered in sweat, the revengeful Tubal-
Cain quickly gathered his mother's spell book which he
renamed "The Book of Shadows" and so from that very
book he invoked the most prevailing conjuration he could
find in there, freeing his entire army under the submission
of those vile creatures then as instructed by the book of
shadows Tubal-Cain and his men sprinkled the perimeter
where they were encamping with salt so to prevent the
spirits from returning to the camp.
After traveling for many miles to reach the base of
Mount Hermon Tubal-Cain and his Canaanite warriors had
yet another nine thousand, three hundred and thirty-two
feet to climb, but nonetheless they were determined.
Approximately half-way into the trek, something
mysterious began to take place on Earth--something no one
had ever seen before. Water began to come down from the
Heaven. After several days and nights of rainfall, the water
level rose significantly and began to flood the lands. The
Leviathans saw this occurrence as a divine sign that
Heaven truly wanted them to rule the earth. So they
reunited under the ocean floor, preparing for a final attack
against the Anakim monarchy so they could claim their
inheritance. From above, Tubal-Cain looked down below,
and he saw how the flood had damaged the coastal
settlements. They had now reached the point of no return,
he thought. If they were to survive this tragedy, they had to
succeed in their efforts to secure Hazor. It had been thirtyseven
days, and the rain continued to fall. Now, at last, they
had reached their destination. At the edge of the city,
Tubal-Cain and his army desperately tried to get through its
colossal gate. Suddenly, they heard the sound of a
thunderous horn, coming from the inside of the walls of the
city. Tubal-Cain thought that the sound of the horn was a
signal by the inhabitants of Hazor, acknowledging the
threats of his menacing presence. But shortly thereafter an
enormous monster emerged from the sea behind them.
Meanwhile, in the city of Hazor, the Anakims prepared
themselves for battle. “Prepare yourselves. The Leviathans
are coming,” said the half-human, half-angel Demete, who
was now an adult and the chief counselor to the Anakim
king, Og.
Outside the gate of Hazor, Tubal-Cain’s army was
in a panic. Terrified by the sight of the Leviathans, most of
them dropped their shields and weapons, and began to flee
the battlefield. But unfortunately for them, they were now
trapped in-between the horrifying Leviathans and the
impenetrable gates of Hazor. Tubal-Cain tried to maintain
order, but there was not much that he could have said or
done to instill courage in his men. A great number of them
had already fallen victims to the wrath of the Leviathans.
Tubal-Cain and his men fought hard, but they could not
overcome Dagon and his Leviathans. After seeing so many
of his men perish, Tubal-Cain knew death was certain. But
when all hopes seemed to be lost, they heard the screeching
sound of deliverance the gates of Hazor were opening.
Tubal-Cain and the rest of his men rushed inside,
unconcerned by what other perils lay behind those
adamantine doors. They thought, it could not possibly be as
dreadful as what they already witnessed outside. The
oversize gate, which automatically shut behind them,
converged with such great force that the ground shook.
Along this lengthy dark vestibule, Tubal-Cain and his men
must now march towards the unknown. A brief shadow of
what seemed to be a large bird swiftly flew overhead. The
men gazed above, but there was nothing there. They
assumed that it was perhaps a figment of their
imaginations, but in fact, there was something or someone
was in fact there. Suddenly, Demete landed behind them,
requesting that Tubal-Cain and his men relinquish their
weapons, and so they did. Then they fell at Demete’s feet
in order to worship him, thinking that he was an Angel sent
from the Heavens to rescue them. But Demete told them to
rise, and then revealed to them that he was not of the
supernatural realm. He was as mortal, he said, as them,
except for his wings. He then escorted them to King Og.
When Tubal-Cain entered the presence of the
Anakim King, he expected to hear condemnation from a
ruthless overlord. Instead, he found himself at the mercy of
an intelligent, wise, and understanding king. Despite his
sagacity, King Og was a valiant warrior whose height was
six cubits and a span. He wore a bronze helmet and was
clothed with scale armor that weighed five thousand
shekels of bronze. The greaves on his legs and the javelin
slung between his shoulders were also made of bronze. The
shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of
his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron. Addressing
Tubal-Cain and his men, King Og explained the rivalry that
existed between the Anakims and the Leviathans. "Can you
pull in the Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue
with a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce
his jaw with a hook?" asked the King. He emphasized that
if the Leviathans were to gain control of Hazor, humankind
would surely become extinct because they will not hear
mankind pleas for mercy, nor consort with them to any
agreement, they won't even consider mankind as their
slaves, complete and utter extermination is their sole
conclusion in regards to humanity. Tubal-Cain was even
more humbled when he had learned that if King Og had not
previously confronted the Leviathans on the behalf of
humanity, humankind would have already been annihilated.
Before he died, the former Nephilim king, Anak, saw the
darkness that exist in the hearts of the Leviathans. He made
King Og promised that even upon his death the Anakims
would always protect the humans and so it was. Telling
Tubal-Cain of another danger that lies ahead, King Og said
that Lilith had visited him to warn him about Heaven's plan
to destroy the earth and all of its inhabitants with a deluge.
Shocked by this disturbing revelation, Tubal Cain
never envisioned his creators committing such malicious
deed. But the evidence was clear it had been raining
continuously for many days now and he saw with his very
eyes the devastation that the flood had already caused.
"Rest assured, men. We have made preparations," said
Demete. Lilith had instructed King Og to have the Anakims
build an ark, since it would have been nearly impossible for
any human to build such an immense and complex ship in
the limited amount of time that they had. The length of the
ark was to be three hundred cubits, with widths of fifty
cubits and heights of thirty cubits. The ark was to have
three levels. In the first of the three levels, wild and
domesticated animals were to be lodged; in the second, the
human beings; and in the third, the birds. Inside the ark was
a very special chamber with a miniature ark made of acacia
wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a
half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. It was
overlaid with pure gold, inside and out, on it a molding of
gold all around. Four rings of gold were cast for it, and the
rings were put in its four corners; two rings were on one
side, and two rings on the other side. Poles were made of
acacia wood and overlaid with gold and the poles were put
into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be
carried by them. Over the Ark, at the two extremities, were
two cherubim of gold, with their faces turned toward one
another and the cherubim had their wings stretched out
covering the top of the ark and inside this miniature ark laid
the sacred corpse of the first man and the first woman,
Adam and Eve. Demete told Tubal-Cain and his men that
he had already embarked other humans on the ark and two
of every kind of animals, of the birds after their kind, and
of every creeping thing on the earth.
The men were to board the ark as soon as possible
and set sail before Hazor became inundated. "This way
come quickly!" said Demete. The men followed him
outside the palace and to the location of the ark. The men
marveled with great amazement at the sight of this massive
infrastructure for they have never thought such a thing
could have been possible to construct especially in a short
period of time but then again they thought to themselves
the pioneers of the ark are not normal men they were of the
Anakim race a nation of giants. Tubal-Cain asked Demete
why he and the Anakims were not boarding the ark. He
replied that they had family issues, which had to be taken
care of once and for all. By this, Tubal-Cain knew that they
had plans to ensure that Dagon and the Leviathans were
destroyed first so that they would not sink the ark. Upon
hearing this, Tubal-Cain and a few of his men decided that
they would stay behind and fight. Demete noticing of what
Tubal-Cain and his men were about to do, he shook his
head and laughed in disbelief and then he said "Ah! Where
are you men going? Fishing! Uh! Will Dagon make an
agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for
life? Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a
leash for your children? Will you fill his hide with
harpoons or his head with fishing spears? I can assure you
men If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the
struggle and never do it again! Any hope of subduing him
is false; as you men have already seen the mere sight of
him is overpowering but if you want to fight then go ahead
but it is suicide". Still the men stood their grounds and
stuck by their decisions, Tubal-Cain then selected a young
warrior by the name of Noah and commissioned him to be
in command of the ark.
The violent waves of the ocean struck the gate
repeatedly. The once impenetrable walls of Hazor began to
show signs of crumbling. Water soon came pouring into the
lower bottom side of the wall. Taking note of the newly
discovered vulnerability on the defensive wall, the
Leviathans pushed and pulled on the weakening wall. A
few moments later, the wall came crumbling down. Demete
became alert and skeptical upon hearing that the gate had
been destroyed, for the inhabitants of Hazor once believed
this to be an impossibility. Then they heard the war cry of
Dagon, the leader of the Leviathans. With the security
perimeter of Hazor breached, Demete turned towards the
two kings with an ailing expression on his face. And Tubal-
Cain immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Spreading his wings, Demete flew toward the front of the
palace where the battle had taken place. He saw the
Anakim archers already in place on the high rise of the
palace, firing at the Leviathans below.
CHAPTER VI – WRATH
Tubal-Cain and his men soon began engaging the
amphibious terrorists yet again. Predictably, humans were
no match for the Leviathans. But at least they were fighting
yes indeed, they fought and fought hard, and some died
with honor. Tubal-Cain was still alive, fighting like a mad
man, with such rage and great vengeance, for all of his men
were now dead, killed by the same beasts which were now
conspiring to take his very life. As the fighting continued,
the Anakim appeared to be on the winning side of the
battle. Nobody seemed capable of confronting the
Leviathan's leader, Dagon, except for perhaps King Og. But
he was nowhere to be found. The dire task fell to Tubal-
Cain and Demete, who combined their forces to defeat
Dagon. While Demete attacked from above, Tubal-Cain
struck down below. Yet Dagon could not be defeated.
Meanwhile, the water level had become increasingly high
inside the palace's yard. Tubal-Cain maneuvered with
difficulty while trying to avoid Dagon's attacks.
Then, it happened Tubal-Cain received a
devastating blow to the head. While perched on one of the
ledges of the palace, King Og looked down, and said “Hey!
Ugly, why don't you pick on somebody your own size." He
jumped down from where he once stood and landed
between Dagon and Tubal-Cain's twitching body. King Og
was now the only person standing in Dagon's way,
preventing the amphibious tyrant from killing Tubal-Cain.
Demete rushed to Tubal-Cain's rescue, but he was a tad too
late, for Tubal-Cain was starting to go into shock. Demete
lifted him and dragged him away toward a safer zone.
Tubal-Cain's body began to shiver as blood rushed out of
his nose and mouth. Indeed Tubal-Cain's wounds were fatal
and there was nothing that could be done to save him. The
king coughed up more blood, and eventually died. While
covering Tubal-Cain's cadaver Demete tearfully said
"Here's to death, you whom has brought fear in the hearts
of many and an end to all inequities, I salute you. Even
tough your duty is not eulogized, but yet if it were not for
your indispensable chore, pain an suffering would have
infinitely reigned." As a witness to the death of Naamah,
Tubal-Cain's younger sister, Demete found himself greatly
disturbed that Naamah’s older brother, Tubal-Cain, now lay
lifeless in his arms. And when menacing thunders and
lightning erupted in the sky, he welcomed it--it was an
outward manifestation of the storm raging inside him.
Filled with rage and incapable of sustaining this perilous
emotion much longer, Demete released a brute cry of
anger. He then picked up Tubal-Cain's axe of destruction,
extended his mighty wings and flew upwards, higher and
higher toward the rainy sky. He went way passed the dark
clouds and then like a falcon plunging down on its prey,
Demete descended upon Dagon and with a single stroke of
his axe, he sliced the Leviathan King apart in two, killing
him instantly! Then Demete walked nine paces before
falling dead himself, as he had been intoxicated by the
Leviathan's fatal sting.
Cain still had the Lucifer dilemma in his hands and
he had no idea how to get himself rid of him. “Quit
messing with our guest, Lucifer,” said a female’s voice
rising from the river behind. Within the bounds of Hell
Cain could not see who it was at first, but the voice
sounded quite familiar to him. Cain turned around, and to
his surprise, it was his dearly beloved wife Serena. “Why
did you forsake me, woman?” said Cain. She rose herself
from the water and exposed her complexity to him. Cain’s
spouse was none other than the exotic mermaid, the halfwoman,
half-fish entity which Lilith had created in Hell.
The amphibious Serena is the only creature capable of
going in and out of Hell this is due to her ability to navigate
the channels of the abyss and enter into the human world
via the ocean. Cain’s discovery of Serena down by the river
and his falling in love with her were not coincidences after
all. She had been sent into the human realm by Lucifer with
the sole purpose of over-populating the Earth with her
offspring. Cain remained skeptical after he was
reprimanded, Cain was led to believe that he could still
have a normal life, until he drowned and died. Yet here he
was, alive again and revived at the very age that he had
murdered his siblings. Lucifer sarcastically began mocking
the Holy Spirit by repeating its decrees, “My Spirit shall
not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his
days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
Lucifer found this statement amusing, for Cain and
many other humans had lived past the one-hundred-andtwenty-
year mark. Then he addressed Cain in a more
serious tone of voice, saying, “As for you Cain, you are
now an immortal being.” He explained to Cain that since he
now had successfully transcended death, he was now
experiencing a metamorphosis that was simply the
synthesis of his curse. He then said,” You will become an
ageless wanderer of the earth for eternity because of the
atrocities you committed against your siblings. The ground
will no longer yield its strength to you. Your days as an
omnivore is now at an end, for any nutrients, regardless of
its origin as plant, seed or fruit, would spontaneously
disintegrate on contact.“ Then, jokingly Lucifer said, “Ah!
It seemed that you’ve gotten yourself in a predicament.”
“Oh! Leave him alone! Come on, Cain,” said Serena. Cain
walked over towards Serena, mumbling, “I despise him.”
Lucifer then yelled from a distance, “I heard that!” Serena
took Cain with her and submerged in the water. Under the
water, she placed her lips on his, as if she were kissing him.
But to Cain, it did not feel like a kiss--it felt as if she was
draining the very life out of his body. Cain panicked and
pulled back. “Relax, it’s not like you are going to drown
and die. You are an immortal, remember?” Serena was
communicating with Cain, and yet her lips were still on his
lips. Using a technique called mental telepathy, Serena was
communicating directly from her mind to Cain’s, while
remaining speechless. Greatly impressed Cain wondered
how Serena was capable of performing such amazing
deeds. “Watch and learn,” said Serena, telepathically. She
also had the ability to read Cain’s mind, using the same
method. Cain became even more curious. Serena then
revealed to him a shocking secret--one that she had been
harboring for many years and he was beginning to ponder
himself. Shortly after it was revealed to Cain that Serena's
true form was that of a half-woman, half-fish, he tried to
figure out how she had begot her legs when she was living
on the surface. Serena told him, “My legs belong to none
other than your sister Norea. That’s the reason why her
body was never found.
After Cain committed his heinous crime of passion,
he disposed of his siblings bodies in a nearby lake. Adam
and Eve later discovered Abel’s body, but not Norea's.
Under normal circumstances, Cain knew that he would
have been devastated to hear this news, but at that moment,
he did not care anymore. He did not care about being alive
or dead; he did not care about heaven nor that he was in
hell. Cain just did not care about anything. That day,
Serena taught Cain many things, including the ability to
drain one’s soul and energy; she taught him the power of
invisibility, telekinetic, empathic voice manipulations, and
the capability of detecting human emotions, such as fear
and lust. Resurfacing from the water anew, Cain was more
assertive, energized, and thrilled by his newly acquired
powers. It was unclear what Cain had mutated into, but
everyone in Hell was eager to find out.
“MANTICORE–-ATTACK!” Commanded Lucifer
while seating on his high throne. The putrid beast did not
hesitate for one moment before discharging his deadly
spines against Cain. Cain quickly levitated himself into
midair, barely evading the manticore’s vicious attacks. The
fallen Angels all gathered around in a circle, observing the
brutal brawl. Since Cain was the underdog, the new guy,
they all cheered for the manticore to win the fight. The
manticore fought hard and Cain fought back even harder. In
the end, the energy depleted manticore remained defeated
on the ground, with Cain emerging victorious. In the heat
of the moment and now filled with the additional energies
that he had drained from the manticore, Cain decided to
take a bold and daring assault on Lucifer. But the evervigilant
Prince of Darkness swiftly counterattacked,
stroking Cain down fast and hard. Lucifer stood over Cain,
and said, “I'm the most powerful Angel that was ever
created, do you really believe that you could defeat me?
You’re good, but you’re not that good, Cain.”
Although there was not much Cain could have done
to alter the situation, he nevertheless made one last
audacious attempt to drain Lucifer’s soul. Unfortunately, he
was unaware that since Lucifer was a fiery being and not
human, there were no souls of him to be drained. Cain felt
utterly vulnerable and overpowered. Then employing his
basic human instincts, he looked Lucifer square in the eyes
and said, “Can we start over?” Then out of nowhere
appeared Lilith, looking as glamorous as always. After yet
another bad argument with her former spouse Metatron, she
left Heavens to be in Hell with her new lover Lucifer. “I
hope I‘m not interrupting your father and son bonding
moments,” said Lilith, playfully. While he lay helpless on
the ground, Cain had a confuse expression on his face,
skeptical of what he had just heard. He turned to look at
Lilith, and then he looked at Lucifer, and in protest said,
“Adam is my father, not him!” As Lucifer was retreating to
his throne, he said, “I am the infamous Lucifer, the first of
the fallen and you are my son Cain. On this day, I have
begotten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for
your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your
possession.” Cain stood up and angrily said "How could
this even be possible? Look at what I've become, a
Vampire, you can have it all Lucifer, I want no part in your
empire of dirt.” Cain was furious, he refused to believe that
before he was brought into life, Lilith had somehow altered
his DNA so that he inherited Lucifer’s genes instead of
Adam’s. Although Cain did not share any of Lucifer’s
physical characteristics, they were both very much alike in
temperament.
Despite Cain’s rash protests, he was genuinely
Lucifer’s son. “The words that Lucifer spoke are true, my
love. Listen to him,” said Serena. Then Lilith made known
to Cain their grand scheme of how she and Lucifer planned
to overthrow the Heavens. She then said, “Cain, your
participation is very much needed, for you will take part in
a vital role during the forthcoming upheaval. Apart from
your newly found abilities, you possess another attribute,
one that exceeds them all. In you there is a soul, an element
which is a constituent part of the Spirit. We plan on
collecting an adequate amount of souls from humanity
enough to generate a being equivalent to or even more
powerful than the Spirit.” With his energy techniques, Cain
would be required to consume the malignant souls so that
he could ascend and become as powerful as the Spirit. Then
she said to him, “You see, Cain, it is simple. The more
humanity sins the more souls you get, and the more souls
you get, the stronger you will become.” Cain did not care
much about the war with heaven, but he took a strong
interest in his becoming more powerful. Perhaps this was
because he wanted to eliminate the remaining part of
humanity in him, or maybe because he did not want exist as
a vagabond, cursed from the earth for eternity. “That is the
most imbecilic idea I’ve ever heard,” replied Cain. Since
Cain was not initially confined to the boundaries of Hell, he
could depart from it. So Lilith opened a portal and took him
back to the surface. While they stood on an islet in the
middle of the ocean, Lilith showed him the world that he
once knew. It had now been destroyed, submerged by the
wrath of the conquering ocean. Lilith announced, “A new
world is dawning. If you take part in my conquest, I will
make you ruler of the new world order. If indeed Metraton
and the Spirit are cast out of Heaven, I would then have the
power to bring Norea and Abel back to life. You, Cain,
would not have to squander an eternity in guiltiness!”.
This was an offer that Cain could not refuse, for this
punishment was becoming too great to bear. Cain was
thinking to himself of what he has become; an immortal
without a cause. "So be it" He said to himself, it didn't
make any sense for Cain to get reacquainted with the
human world due to the fact that everyone he knows are
now dead and eventually would die while he remains
forever young. Thus Cain accepted Lilith's offer. Lilith now
possessed dominion over all existing dimensions. She was
Queen of the Heavens. She had Lucifer, the ruler of the
underworld, under her amorous spell, and now with the
immortal Cain presiding over humankind, she undisputedly
reigns over all, while Metatron only had Heaven and his
Angels. Gazing toward the horizon, Cain noticed an ark
floating on the ocean floor. He raced to the other side of the
islet to get a much better view and what he saw was the
Anakim king, clinging onto the side of Noah’s ark. "How
am I supposed to rule the world when everything is being
destroyed" asked Cain. "Do not worry" said Lilith I know
Metatron, despite all this chaos he would never allow
mankind to entirely perish, he cares for them too much."
With a sudden burst of laughter Cain replied " Ah!, you call
this caring?" Heaven does not know humanities pain and
suffering, and obviously does not even care neither. If
Metatron does care for humanity let him come down from
the Heavens and live one day as a human without his divine
powers." After a few moments Lilith and Cain returned to
Hell. The water receded steadily from the earth, and at the
end of one hundred and fifty days the water decreased.
Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth
day of the month on the mountain of Ararat.
CHAPTER VII – SLOTH
Now it came to pass after the deluge and the earth
became repopulated once again the immortal Cain returned
to earth under the pseudonym of Nimrod to fulfill his new
destiny, as ruler of the new world. Accompanied by his
spouse Serena who took on the pseudonym of Semiramis,
Nimrod whose true identity is that of Cain's began
constructing a new city, a new world order as he called it
and he named the city Babylon. Founded in the land of
Shinar, Babylon was a long, narrow country about forty
miles wide at its widest point and having an area of about
eight thousand square miles. The city Babylon rests on a
flat plain with the two large rivers flowing through it, the
Tigris and Euphrates. It was bordered on the north by
Assyria, on the east by Elam, on the south and west by the
Arabian Desert, and on the southeast by the Persian Gulf.
Then the whole earth had one language and one speech and
one king, Nimrod, he not only a skillful hunter of animal
but also of men's souls. In the antediluvian world, evil
abounded, Nimrod rebelliously stood before Heaven with
the same Luciferan lust for power that his father Lucifer
had during the attempted Heavenly coup. Nimrod
persuaded the people to follow his pernicious ways, he
wanted them not to ascribe to Metatron but to the worship
of himself and his wife Semiramis whose real identity is
that of the half-woman, half-fish named Serena. "Come, let
us build a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, in case
if there is another flood we will not perish, and let us make
a great name for ourselves so we would never be forgotten,
lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the entire
earth." said Nimrod. The people were very ready to follow
the determination of king Nimrod or Cain, as if it were
through his means they were happy, king Nimrod esteemed
it a piece of cowardice to submit to those in Heaven; and to
bid defiance he had the people build a colossal tower,
neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent
about the work: the multitude of hands employed in the
construction of the Tower of Babel.
Each day the tower became higher and higher,
bricks were piled on top of bricks, the core of the tower
was constructed using mud bricks which were then covered
with baked bricks. The mud bricks were made out of mud
and reed; then the reed was pressed into molds that had
been left to dry in the sun. The first stage of the tower was
built using seven million mud bricks. On top of every sixth
layer of bricks, reed matting was placed in a crisscross
manner. Sandy soil was also placed with the layer of reeds.
This design was used to solve the problems caused by the
dumping of silt from the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers
during each flood season. The settling of this silt was to
make building on it similar to building on quicksand. This
manner of construction prevented the whole structure from
drooping sideways when it became wet. The baked bricks
weighed up to fifteen kilogram, and were made out of clay
pressed into molds. Then the bricks were left to dry and
were then baked in a mud oven using dry twigs which were
set on fire. This made the bricks water resistant, small gap
holes were left between the brickwork on the sides of the
tower. A vertical drain was built on either side of the tower
to carry away rainwater. The drains were also made using
baked bricks and the purpose of such holes was to allow
evaporation of water from the core of the structure.
"Behold, they are one people, and they have all one
language; and this is only the beginning of what they will
do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be
impossible for them." said the Spirit to Metatron. Mankind
was reluctant in learning from their past malfeasance, for it
was not long ago that the earth was entirely submerged by
the deluge, much due to humanities sinful comportment
but instead of a new world rededicated to righteousness,
Heaven was astounded to witness the rebelliousness of a
subsequent new generation.
In order to bring mankind into a constant
dependence on his power, King Nimrod and his wife
Semiramis hatched out a scheme. King Nimrod was to fell
to a violent and most untimely death during the New Year’s
festival and later be deified as the sun-god Marduk. Nimrod
did not care about him being worship as the sun-god or any
other gods for that matter, as long as humanity were
devoted to the worship of anyone else but Metatron, he was
more than willing to accept worship by proxy. While
scrutinizing the nearly finished tower King Nimrod said to
Queen Semiramis "Mankind is the only kind of varmint
who sets his own trap, baits it, and then steps on it. Look at
them; they don't even know what they are doing." "As
clueless as they may be, yet you envy them" replied the
Queen. "I'm afraid so, life as a mortal is quite simple but
yet so vain." said Nimrod. Then the couple approaches a
place where the crowd were gathered below and once the
workers noticed Nimrod they began to cheer for their King.
Nimrod then addresses them by declaring his discourse
"This is not a revolution but rather an evolution, a new
world order, where humanity is not merely regarded as
expendable beings, waiting to be exterminated by way of
floods or fire. No, we are much more than that; henceforth I
proclaim this moment our independence day from Heaven
and from Hell. We are the ones that we have been waiting
for, we are the changes that humanity seeks; we must
reunite against the tyrannies of the latter realms.” Many in
the crowd started sobbing, sobs of joy and happiness, both
women and men. They were cheering because they have
finally seen a leader that is able to protect them and
understands their needs a leader with bold innovation that
will advance them into the next era in humanity, a
visionary King who's vision resembles theirs. Life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
"Cain my love, listen to the symphonious cheers of
the people, which have gathered from all corners of the
earth to witness your grandeur. With less than a smile you
have effortlessly charmed Kings and Queens alike, you've
captured the heart of the unconquerable, even those in
heaven are envious of your bequest. Only if the world
could see the myriad of demons that accompanies your
greatness." said the Queen. Nimrod replied "Do not call me
Cain, I’m King Nimrod. I came, I saw and I conquered but
the world is just not enough to satiate the hollowness of my
soul. Accompanied by a legion of servants; a thousand at
my right and ten thousand at my left even so I've been
taken captive by loneliness. I now know why the wolves
howl melancholy as their melody." Even though the King
had everything, he was still miserable. He then turned
towards the Queen to deliver some unexpected news to her
"My dear, it is imperative that excuse myself for a thousand
years, it is now your time to rule, but do not hesitate to
summon me if the world becomes more interesting in the
meantime." The unsuspected Babylonians never knew of
King Nimrod secret identity, and neither of the fact that he
was an immortal, so all went according to the plan and
during the year of the final festival King Nimrod was
voluntarily murdered. It was a violent death, shrouded in
mystery but the truth was the Vampirian King was neither
dead nor gone he simply remained dormant, lock inside a
secret compartment inside the tower of Babel; waiting.
After the departure of King Nimrod, the Babylonian
polytheistic religion prominently continued on, his wife
Queen Semiramis saw to that. Once Nimrod was
supposedly dead, she deified him as the Sun-god according
to the plan and Queen Semiramis declare herself as the
goddess of the moon and of fertility.
She was far more subtle and malicious than any
Babylonian could have imagined after all it was her who
taught Cain now known as Nimrod, the power of
invisibility, telekinetic, empathic voice manipulations, and
the capability of detecting human emotions. A master of
deception she was, after the alleged death of King Nimrod;
Queen Semiramis ascended the throne and Heaven began
panicking for Queen Semiramis was a figure not to be
reckon with. She had a golden statue made in the image of
herself, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six
cubits, and upon the forehead of the said statue it was
written "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT."
Then Queen Semiramis sent word to gather the
satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the
treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials
of the city of Babylon to come to the dedication of the
statue that she had built. Then the satraps, the prefects, and
the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices,
the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces
gathered for the dedication of the statue that Queen
Semiramis had set up. And they all stood before the statue
while the herald proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded,
that when you hear the sound of the horn, you are to fall
down and worship the golden statue that Queen Semiramis
has set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship
shall instantly be put to death.” Therefore, as soon as all the
people heard the sound of the ram horn, they all fell down
and worshiped the golden statue that Queen Semiramis had
made. A few years later, Semiramis bore a son, Tammuz.
She declared that she had been visited by the spirit of
Nimrod, who left her pregnant with the boy. Tammuz, she
maintained, was Nimrod reincarnated. With a father,
mother, and son deified, a deceptive, perverted trinity was
formed.
Heaven began panicking, Metatron saw the Queen
as a bold and impious interloper who has to be stopped, and
once more the Spirit petitioned his previous arguments that
humanity was out of control and ought to utterly be
destroyed and reanimated without their Freewill in order to
prevent them from falling more into sins. The fear of
further angering Lilith, Metatron was against causing any
harm to Queen Semiramis, but instead he summoned the
Angel Gabriel and said "Go down there, to the city of
Babylon confuse their language, so that they will not
understand one another’s speech.” So the Angel Gabriel
confused their language, causing them to speak different
languages, so the people would not understand each other.
By doing this, Heaven sort of thwarted Queen Semiramis's
plans. Gabriel also scattered the people of the city all over
the face of the earth. Metatron knew that his plan of action
would not be a permanent solution to mankind's dilemma
for it's only a matter of time before they reunite themselves
and start learning each others tongues but at least for now
this plan would give mankind time to rethink and perhaps
reconsider their actions.
As the people scattered from Babylon with their
different languages, the Babylonian cult spreads to other
parts of the earth most, if not all of these tribes carried the
polytheistic religion with them, in the land of Egypt the
legacy of king Nimrod and Queen Semeramis were known
as Isis and Osiris. The worship of mother and child spread
from Babylon to the ends of the earth, in ancient India, the
mother and child were called Devaki and Krishna, and also
Isi and Iswara as they were worshiped, some also continued
to build pyramids reminiscent of the Tower of Babel as part
of this mystery religion.
The same cult prevails in various other localities but
not more so then the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah who
retained the Babylonian cult to its purest form, the
Sodomites overwhelmingly proud of their numbers and the
extent of their wealth, showed themselves insolent to men
and impious to Heaven. There were four judges in Sodom
named Shakrai (Liar), Shakurai (Awful Liar), Zayyafi
(Forger), and Mazle Dina (Perverter of Justice). These
judges made a proclamation in Sodom saying: "Everyone
who strengthens the hand of the poor or the needy with a
loaf of bread shall be burnt by fire." The men of Sodom and
Gomorrah had no consideration for others; they even
fenced in all the trees on top above their fruit so that they
should not be seized; not even by the birds of heaven. If a
poor beggar happened to come to their city, every resident
gave him a coin, upon which they wrote their names, but no
bread was given, then the store owners of the city
recognized such coins would refused to accept them, so the
coins became invaluable and when the poor beggar died of
hunger, each person came and took back his coins that had
their names embedded to them.
Their intentions were clearly to stop people from
coming among them, for they thought that because of the
excellence of their lands many will come there and they
despised charity, they continued provoking and rebelling
against Heaven with their ease and the oppression of the
poor. There were none among all the other nations who
matched Sodom and Gomorrah in cruelty. Then there was
the case of two girls, who went down to draw water from a
well. One said to her friend, "Why are you so pale?" The
other girl answered, "All the food is gone from our house
and we are ready to die from starvation." So the next day
the rich girl filled her jug with bread and flour and
exchanged it for her own. Each took the one of the other.
When the Sodomites found out about it, they took
the girl who had shared the food and burned her, and they
smeared the other poor girl's body with honey and hung her
from the city wall until she was eaten by bees. In these
wretched cities of Sodom and Gomorrah the inhabitants
were so evil and corrupt that there were not even ten
righteous men to be found among them. Metatron became
wrathful he commanded the Angel Michael and Raphael to
poured upon Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim a
rain of fire and brimstone, and destroyed these cities and all
the people in them. These places were entirely laid waste,
so that in the valley where they stood a salt lake was
formed, in which no creature can live. "This time Metatron
and the Spirit had gone too far. The earth is not only their
creation, it is also mine." said Lilith. Lilith was obligated to
invoke Tetragrammaton due to Metatron's repetitious
radical punishment of mankind, first the needless
banishment of Adam & Eve, then there was the flood and
now destruction by fire so Lilith began the conjuration. "I
conjure, I address, and I exorcise ye, that I may approach
unto and come before the throne of Tetragrammaton, the
Living and the True, and before the Tribunal of the
judgment of His Majesty, to hear the sentence and of the
condemnation of Metatron by the Name and in the
ineffable Name of Tetragrammaton, which is that of the
Almighty, and Holy; who hath formed and created me by
the Breath of His Mouth, hear my invocation."
Soon thereafter Lilith, Metatron and the Spirit were
summoned in the presence of Tetragrammaton; the Trinity
has not been in the presence of their creators ever since the
morning of their becoming. The everlasting divine light
that shines around Lilith, Metatron and the Spirit have been
eclipsed by the omnipotence of Tetragrammaton.
The omniscient Tetragrammaton knew all past,
present and future so Lilith did not have to plead her case to
them, nonetheless Tetragrammaton's verdict was in Lilith's
favor. "You have been weighed in the scales and found
wanting Metatron" says the echoing voice of
Tetragrammaton. Metatron has been found at fault in most
counts. First, of the unnecessary expulsion of Adam and
Eve from the Garden of Eden, then of the devastating flood
that covered the entire surface of the Earth, and now of the
barbaric destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. However
Metatron was acquitted for banishing Lucifer and his
minions to Hell, in that he was found truly faultless. Lilith
was given the authority of choosing a fair sentencing of her
mate and hypocritically her request was that Metatron
ought to be transformed into a human being and to spend a
lifetime as a mortal in order for him to experience the dire
difficulties of being human. Tetragrammaton concurred
that Lilith's request was fair and balance. And so it was.
Lilith too was found at fault, she was at fault for
misleading Lucifer into rebelling against Heaven and she
was at fault for fornicating with her creations, therefore as
part of her penalty she received the same dire fate as she
had chosen for Metatron, she was to become human and
given the greatest task of them all to be Metatron's birthgiver.
Metatron did however have a way out to escape his
punishment, but he did not exercise it, to his defense he
could have sided with the Spirit in order to avoid Lilith's
sentencing, he could have also pleaded for Tetragrammaton
to allow him to make everything anew. A new Earth, a new
Heaven, and a new beginning but instead he assented to the
verdict that was set before him. Metatron was permitted to
keep part of his divine abilities while on earth, however he
was forbidden to exercise any of his powers to his own
benefits for the day that he did so, he could not be allow to
return to Heaven.
Metatron was found culpable of perpetrating
misdeeds against his own creations and he is now willing to
pay the consequences and spend a lifetime as a human
being. Even though Metatron was divine, as well as the coarchitect
of the Universe, he did not count himself equality
with his creator Tetragrammaton; as Lucifer had foolishly
done, he humbly stripped himself of his glory, and made
himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, and by
becoming a man like other men. Metatron humbled himself
by becoming obedient even stooped to the notion of dying
as a mortal man, he remained true to his conviction. It is in
consequence of this, that Tetragrammaton has highly
exalted him and bestowed on him the name of Jesus. Their
fates sealed Lilith and Metatron then gracefully bowed and
said "Our Creator, which art above the Heavens, hallowed
be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done, on Earth
as in Heaven.”
"Amen.” says the echoing voice of Tetragrammaton
as it departed from their presence.
TETRAGRAMMATON
The name Tetragrammaton occurs 6,828 times in
the Hebrew text of both the Biblia Hebraica and Biblia
Hebraica Stuttgartensia. It first appears in the Hebrew text
in Genesis 2:4.The reason why we see "LORD" and "God"
in our bibles is because the name Tetragrammaton is too
sacred and was not to be pronounced for fear that the
name be blasphemed. The Sacred Name appears in the
Hebrew Scriptures as four Hebrew letters Yud, hey, vav,
hey, which is closest represented by the letters YHVH.
This format is known as the Tetragrammaton.
SPIRIT
The meaning of Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost are
identical. Within mainstream Christianity the Holy Spirit is
one of the three persons of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is
referred to in the Old Testament about 80 times and about
240 times in the New Testament. It was the Spirit that
moved over the surface of the water in (Gen 1:2) and who
was active in the creation. The Spirit is frequently
described in the Old Testament as "came upon" or
"clothing" or simply "resting upon" men.
LILITH
The name of Lilith is mentioned in the Bible, in
Isaiah 34:14, where she is listed along with hyenas and
jackals as those who dwell in the ruins of God-forsaken
Edom. According to Hebrew lore, Lilith was the original
partner of Adam, the world's first man. In other ancient
legends Lilith is considered the mother of demons, and is
supposed to haunt desolate places.
METATRON
Metatron is identified with the term lesser
Tetragrammaton. The word Metatron is numerically
equivalent to Shaddai in Hebrew gematria; therefore, He is
said to have a "Name like his Master. The talmudic
mystical texts do speak of a lesser Tetragrammaton
apparently deriving the concept from Exodus 23:21 which
mentions an Angel of whom God says "Beware of him, and
obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon
your transgressions: for my name Tetragrammaton is in
him".
LUCIFER
Lucifer is a Latin word literally meaning "lightbearer".
The name appears in Isaiah 14:3–20, where the
king of Babylon is compared to Lucifer as one fallen from
heaven. Most Theologians in their experience and based
on biblical interpretations assert that Lucifer and Satan
are different beings. However, though the New Testament
includes the conception that Satan fell from heaven "as
lightning" (Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:7-10), it nowhere applies
the name Lucifer to him. In the New Testament the
Adversary has many names, but "Lucifer" is not among
them.
BEELZEBUB
Beelzebub is commonly described as placed high in
Christian Hell's hierarchy; she was of the order of
cherubim. The source for the name Beelzebub is in 2 Kings
1:2-3, 6, 16 where King Ahaziah of Israel, after seriously
injuring himself in a fall, sends messengers to inquire of
Beelzebub, to learn if he will recover. In Mark 3:22, the
Pharisees accuse Jesus of driving out demons by the
power of Beelzebub, prince of demons, the name also
appearing in the expanded version in Matthew 12:24,27 &
Luke 11:15,18–19.
MICHAEL
Michael is viewed as the field commander of the
celestial army. He is mentioned by name in the Book of
Daniel, the Book of Jude and the Book of Revelation. In
the Book of Revelation 12:7, Michael is the principal
fighter of the heavenly battle against Lucifer, who was cast
unto the earth and his Angels were thrown down with him.
In the Epistle of Jude 1:9, Michael disputes with the devil
about the body of Moses. In the book of Daniel 10:13,
10:21, 12:1 Michael appears as "one of the chief princes"
who in Daniel's vision comes to the Archangel Gabriel's
aid in his contest with the Angel of Persia.
SAMYAZA
Samyaza is a fallen Angel of Jewish and Christian
tradition that ranked in the heavenly hierarchy as one of
the Grigori. In the Book of Enoch, the "Grigori or
Watchers" are Angels apparently dispatched to earth
simply to watch over humanity. They soon begin to lust for
the human women they see, and at the prodding of their
leader Samyaza, they defect en masse to illicitly instruct
and procreate among humanity. Samyaza and associates
further taught their human charges arts and technologies
such as weaponry, cosmetics, mirrors, sorcery, and other
techniques. Genesis 6:1-4 and Jude 1:6, respectively.

years old and clung to Noah's ark during the Deluge.
Deuteronomy 3:11 declares of the Rephaim race only King
Og of Bashan was left and that his bed was made of iron
and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide.
DAGON
Dagon is particularly the god of the Philistines with
temples at Beth-dagon in the tribe of Asher Joshua 19.27,
in Gaza Judges 16.23, which tells soon after how the
temple is destroyed by Samson as his last act. Another
temple, in Ashdod was mentioned in 1 Samuel 5.2–7. King
Saul's head was displayed in a temple of Dagon in 1
Chronicles 10:8-10.
