THE HIDDEN MYSTERY OF THE SECRET COMBINATIONS REVEALED:
The Book of Mormon warns of a secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands that is built up by that same person who deceived our first parents, Adam and Eve, in the garden. Over the years many scholars have only touched on the nature of these secret combinations, but the origin of these secret combinations is much more ancient and insidious than people imagine. In fact when many people discover the well laid plans by some of these secret combinations they find that the plans have been implemented over a long period of time-in fact a period of time and with a continuity that exceeds the life span of a mortal man.
Much knowledge has been lost, destroyed, or hidden as a result of the writings of ancient Israel going through the hands of a great and abominable assembly (of both Jews and Gentiles) who sought to exert dominion over the people. Among this knowledge was the Book of Enoch. During the second temple period, this book was accepted by the Jews as scripture. Later the book was suppressed and hidden from the masses of Jews by rabbinic influences who felt that the masses were either not worthy or able to understand the record of Enoch.
Many of the early Christians and Church Fathers also accepted the Book of Enoch as scripture, but due to many of the same reasons as the rabbis claimed they also removed the book from what is now the Bible and replaced it with the Book of Revelation. Only in recent years has the importance of the Book of Enoch begun to be realized. Unbeknownst to many, this Book was held in such high esteem that seven copies were found among the library of the Dead Sea Scrolls and since then other copies or fragments have been found in other libraries in various countries. In fact in the very opening of the Book it states that it was written for a far off generation and the days of tribulation:
"The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked ⌈⌈and godless⌉⌉ are to be removed. 2. And he took up his parable and said--Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, ⌈which⌉ the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come." (1 Enoch 1:1-2)
The importance of this record cannot be overstated as not only do we find the New Testament heavily dependent on this record but there is also found hidden knowledge that support the Book of Mormon and many of it's mysteries.
THE SINS OF THE WATCHERS
Among the knowledge of the Fathers preserved by ancient Israel is an account of a group of angels who rebelled against God and fell to the earth only there to enact plans to exert dominion over the new creation. This band of angels were part of a larger group known as The Watchers, sometimes called The Archons, The Nephilim, etc. Not wanting to accept God's plan that established Adam and his posterity as those chosen by God to have dominion over this sphere, these angels took secret oaths and covenants whereby they would supplant Adam and his posterity on the earth.
In the Torah/Genesis it reads:
"1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 ¶ And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
These sons's of God (the B'nai Elohiym) were those beings that later came to be known as the Watchers, Archons, etc. Whereas Christianity attributes much of the evil of this world to Adam and his fall, ancient Israel attributes the presence of evil in this world to the actions or sins of these Watchers. From the Book of Enoch (which was once widely accepted as scripture by both Judaism and early Christianity), it records that this group of 200 beings swore an oath to their leader Semjaza whereby they would put their plans into action.
It is from the Book of Enoch that we find a record of their actions and of their secret oaths whereby they would exert dominion and obtain the earth as their inheritance:
"1.And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' 3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations (curses should they violate the oath) upon it. 7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl. 8. These are their chiefs of tens.
It is from this forgotten record of the Book of Enoch (which the NT quotes over 100 times) that we find an account of the identities of these beings and their secret works among mankind:
"And these are the chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones over hundreds and over fifties and over tens].
The name of the first Jeqôn: that is, the one who led astray ⌈all⌉ the sons of God, and brought them down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men.
And the second was named Asbeêl: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men.
And the third was named Gâdreêl: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed ⌈the weapons of death to the sons of men⌉ the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons of death to the children of men. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for evermore.
And the fourth was named Pênêmûe: he taught the children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. And he instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to eternity and until this day. For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink. For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power it is consuming me.
And the fifth was named Kâsdejâ: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away, and [the smitings of the soul] the bites of the serpent, and the smitings which befall through the noontide heat, the son of the serpent named Tabââ‘ĕt. And this is the task of Kâsbeêl, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Bîqâ. This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. 15. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akâe in the hand of Michael. And these are the secrets of this oath . . .
And they are strong through his oath:
And the heaven was suspended before the world was created,
And for ever.
And through it the earth was founded upon the water,
And from the secret recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters,
From the creation of the world and unto eternity.
And through that oath the sea was created,
And as its foundation He set for it the sand against the time of (its) anger,
And it dare not pass beyond it from the creation of the world unto eternity.
And through that oath are the depths made fast,
And abide and stir not from their place from eternity to eternity.
And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course,
And deviate not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.
And through that oath the stars complete their course,
And He calls them by their names,
And they answer Him from eternity to eternity." (1 Enoch 69:3-21)
From the Book of Enoch we find these beings bound their oath by imprecations or swearing by the name of YHVH. According to to the teachings of found in the Book of Enoch and other writings of ancient Israel, swearing by the name of YHVH has the power to bind these beings. This same thought is expressed in the Torah as an edict upon all Israel:
"If a man makes a vow to YHVH or takes an oath imposing an obligation on himself, he shall not break his pledge; he must carry out all that has crossed his lips." (Numbers 30:3)
According to the teachings of the Fathers it was not Adam's actions in the Garden that brought about the evils we see in the word but the actions of this group of Watchers and their interactions with mankind. As a result, God sent the Flood to cleanse the earth of the evils that they had spread. It was also taught that in response to these secret combinations of the Watchers, God gave the law (Torah) as the foundation stone upon which mankind would be protected and his dominion would be established on the earth.
THE WATCHERS AND THE BOOK OF MORMON:
The Prophet Writers of the Book of Mormon record that the downfall of their nation was the result of the works of darkness of the Gadianton Robbers. These conspirators entered into secret oaths and covenants whereby they could exact dominion over the people and the land. As recorded in the record of Helaman:
"Now behold, those secret oaths and covenants did not come forth unto Gadianton from the records which were delivered unto Helaman; but behold, they were put into the heart of Gadianton by that same being who did entice our first parents to partake of the forbidden fruit—
Yea, that same being who did plot with Cain, that if he would murder his brother Abel it should not be known unto the world. And he did plot with Cain and his followers from that time forth.
And also it is that same being who put it into the hearts of the people to build a tower sufficiently high that they might get to heaven. And it was that same being who led on the people who came from that tower into this land; who spread the works of darkness and abominations over all the face of the land, until he dragged the people down to an entire destruction, and to an everlasting hell.
Yea, it is that same being who put it into the heart of Gadianton to still carry on the work of darkness, and of secret murder; and he has brought it forth from the beginning of man even down to this time.
Yea, it is that same being who put it into the heart of Gadianton to still carry on the work of darkness, and of secret murder; and he has brought it forth from the beginning of man even down to this time.
And behold, it is he who is the author of all sin. And behold, he doth carry on his works of darkness and secret murder, and doth hand down their plots, and their oaths, and their covenants, and their plans of awful wickedness, from generation to generation according as he can get hold upon the hearts of the children of men." (Helaman 6: 26-30)
It appears that these Watchers (immortal beings), who were both before and after the great floods, continued to work their secret plans of dominion through mankind. Interestingly enough the Book of Mormon records that the secret oaths and covenants did not come from the records in their posession but were revealed to Gadianton by the same being or beings (as ha-satan in Hebrew can refer to the singular or plural) that are referred to in the record of Enoch.
Even the Jaredites were not free from their influence as in Ether 8 in records that the records of the Jaredites contained an account of these secret works:
" Now the daughter of Jared was exceedingly fair. And it came to pass that she did talk with her father, and said unto him: Whereby hath my father so much sorrow? Hath he not read the record which our fathers brought across the great deep? Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?" (Ether 8:9)
Here Mormon records that the Jaredites used the same oaths that existed from old. Jared and his brother predated the Nephites and were contemporary with the post flood epic of the Tower of Babel. If these things existed from "old" or ancient times, then these plans came from those beings, The Watchers" who enacted them before the flood whereby they could also obtain power and dominion on the earth.
Mormon continues:
"And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God (referring to the Watchers);
For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.
And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the evil one, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved." (Ether 8:9-26)
SWEARING BY THE NAME
Like the Watchers who made an oath by the name of YHVH we also see this same pattern found in Moses' account where Satan put Cain under an oath to obtain all that his brother Abel had. This pattern of making an oath by the name of YHVH was a principle of power and dominion taught in ancient Israel as well. By placing someone under an oath and sealing it by the name of YHVH a covenant relationship of power and dominion was created. A covenant which was binding by the laws of God's courtroom and before the very elements of nature themselves.
"And it came to pass that Cain took one of his brothers’ daughters to wife, and they loved Satan more than God.
And Satan said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou tell it thou shalt die; and swear thy brethren by their heads, and by the living God, that they tell it not; for if they tell it, they shall surely die; and this that thy father may not know it; and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands.
And Satan sware unto Cain that he would do according to his commands. And all these things were done in secret.
And Cain said: Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain. Wherefore Cain was called Master Mahan, and he gloried in his wickedness." (Moses 5:28-31)
We see here that Satan also placed Cain under oath by the name of God whereby all of his oaths would be required of him like unto the oaths taken by The Watchers. In doing so Satan was able to obtain legal dominion over Cain and any who entered into a covenant relationship like him. It comes as a surprise to many who are unfamiliar with the teachings of ancient Israel that the Adversary would use God's own legal protocol to obtain legal dominion. But these fallen angels or group of Watchers stood and administered in these self same courts in Heaven. They are familiar with the laws and legal protocol that even God himself enacted and which he cannot break. Their knowledge of Heaven's protocol gives them a great advantage and should mankind enter into these binding oaths with them they can present their case before the throne of Heaven on the day of judgment and legally claim all that come under their dominion.
THE WATCHERS ARE STILL AT WORK TODAY
This group of Watchers is still at work today. In fact if we examine the sins attributed to the "quorum" of 5 Satan we may notice some striking similarities to many of society's issues we see today:
Sexual Immorality:
And the second was named Asbeêl: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men.
Warfare:
And the third was named Gâdreêl: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed ⌈the weapons of death to the sons of men⌉ the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons of death to the children of men. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for evermore.
Propaganda and the Manipulation of the Masses:
And the fourth was named Pênêmûe: he taught the children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. And he instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to eternity and until this day. For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink. For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power it is consuming me.
Abortion, Spiritualism, and Witchcraft:
And the fifth was named Kâsdejâ: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away, and [the smitings of the soul] the bites of the serpent, and the smitings which befall through the noontide heat, the son of the serpent named Tabââ‘ĕt. And this is the task of Kâsbeêl, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Bîqâ. This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men.
We see these same parallels described by the prophet Mormon regarding the Nephites:
"And these Gadianton robbers, who were among the Lamanites, did infest the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof began to hide up their treasures in the earth; and they became slippery, because the Lord had cursed the land, that they could not hold them, nor retain them again.
And it came to pass that there were sorceries, and witchcrafts, and magics; and the power of the evil one was wrought upon all the face of the land, even unto the fulfilling of all the words of Abinadi, and also Samuel the Lamanite....
And it came to pass that the Nephites began to repent of their iniquity, and began to cry even as had been prophesied by Samuel the prophet; for behold no man could keep that which was his own, for the thieves, and the robbers, and the murderers, and the magic art, and the witchcraft which was in the land.
Thus there began to be a mourning and a lamentation in all the land because of these things, and more especially among the people of Nephi." (Mormon1:19, 2:10)
THE MAGICAL ARTS AND WITCHCRAFT:
It seems almost comical to our "modern" and highly "evolved" society that anyone would take the idea of magic art and witchcraft seriously. The very words conjur images of Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, magic wands, dazzling light shows and special effects, eye or newt and hummingbird tonque potions-and these popular images of the magic arts while entertaining may also serve as a distraction to the true nature of the spiritual magic arts. But in the ancient world, and in the mind of an Israelite, the "magic art" had to do with the manipulation of natural laws, spiritual laws and power, and how a person or entitiy obtained such power. It required a relationship- a covenant relationship- between the material and physical with the ultimate object of obtaining power and dominion.
Covenant relationships whether between God and Man or Satan and man are all entered into upon the basis of the same eternal laws. By entering these relationships a pattern of dominion is established and an exchange of life occurs. This exchange of life is more literal than people think-albeit without the dazzling light shows and special effects that may be witnessed with the mortal eye. It was in the act of bringing people under their Dominion that Satan, who had been cut off from the source of all light and truth (ie. life), would find sustenance and power-and mankind would be both his agents and food source:
"The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth. Light and truth forsake that evil one. Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God. And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers. But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth." (D&C 93:36-40)
Here the Prophet Joseph Smith literally reiterates an ancient principle found in both the Books of Enoch and in Ancient Israel--Light and truth foresake the evil one. In fact the evil ones come and feed off of the light and truth of every man, woman, and child through "disobedience and the traditions of their fathers". We literally come under the dominion of those we chose to obey. How do we know who we obey? WHOSE LAW ARE YOU KEEPING? TO WHOM DO YOU PAY ALLEGIANCE?
By obeying the Torah or Commandments of God we come under the dominion of God and as a result an exchange of life occurs between God and Man. It is through his relationship of covenant love and law that life-light and truth are exchanged. At the same time, as we place ourselves under obedience to the Evil One and his servants we come under their dominion- they take from us life, light, and truth and in doing so they obtain the powers of "god" or an "angel of light". As with all covenants an exchange of something MUST take place and with the evil ones the exchange is life and light to sustain while they give those who follow them power and dominion in this world. In ancient Israel to bring up your children in light and truth was to bring them up in observance of God's commandments which placed them under the dominion of YHVH and brought them more life, light, and truth:
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalms 119:105)
Strangely enough the Watchers understand this principle and they work through mortal agents to manipulate this system.
YET SOMETHING EVEN MORE INSIDIOUS:
As stated previously, it was in the act of bringing people under their Dominion that Satan, who had been cut off from the source of all light and truth (ie. life), would find sustenance and power-and mankind would be both his agents and food source. This exchange of life is very real and could be likened to say a "spiritual vampire" who brings his prey under his dominion and then feeds of them until there is no life left and they become like unto them. In fact entire systems have been created by these Watchers and their Agents to feed off the light and truth of those they bring under their dominion:
Systems of Priestcraft- Wherein Men (ie. false teachers and prophets) set themselves up as the light (2 Nephi 26:29) or Hebraicaly system where men set themselves and their authority above God and his law making their words law to the people.
Gadianton Robbers: Those that create secret financial, miltary, and governmental systems to kill and get gain? (pretty much an apt description of various groups and special interests in America).
King Men: Setting up a political King for gain. (False or lawsless presidents, corporate pharoahs, creating a form of feudalistic government, oligarchies, etc).
And the list could probably go on and on. Both the immortal Watchers and their mortal agents like parasites feed off the people who in a sense are both their physical and spiritual food source. Even groups and churches started or approved of by God have throughout history been infiltrated and controlled by these influences all the while doing everything they do under the NAME of God. The end result however is destruction.
