Secrets of the Oath
That Binds the Fallen Angels
By
James Scott Trimm
We read in the Torah:
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 Elohim saw the daughters of men, that they were fair. And they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.
3 And YHWH said: My Spirit shall not abide in man forever. For that he also is flesh; therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
4 The N’filim were on the earth in those days and also after that, when the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. The same were the mighty men that were of old–the men of renown.
5 And YHWH 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 YHWH that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
7 And YHWH said: I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the earth: both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the air, for it repents Me that I have made them.
(Gen. 6:1-7 HRV)
The Book of Enoch gives us more detail on this event:
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 Shemikhazah, who was their leader, said unto them: ‘I fear you 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 imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.’
5 Then they all swore together and bound themselves by imprecations upon it.
6 And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Yared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by imprecations upon it.
(1Enoch 6:1-6)
You can find the surviving Aramaic of Chapter 6 of the Book of Enoch at our ongoing project to put the surviving Aramaic of the Book of Enoch online in Aramaic/English Interlinear with Strong’s Word Numbers. <click here>
In today’s blog I want to tell you more about this “oath” they “swore” (נמא) by which they bound themselves by imprecations (ואחרמו)
Later the Book of Enoch elaborates on this oath saying:
13 And this is the number of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath, which he showed to the set-apart ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Biqa.
14 This (angel) requested Mikha’el to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath
15 who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men? And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of Mikha’el.
(1Enoch 69:13-15)
Unfortunately this portion of the Book of Enoch has survived only in Ethiopic. However the underlying Hebrew for “Biqa” is probably “ביקה” and the underlying Hebrew for “Akae” is probably “אכע”.
The “oath” was enunciated with “the hidden name” which corresponds to a “number” and revealed to us in the Book of Enoch only in hidden form with the words “biqa” (ביקה) and “akae” (אכע).
Enoch goes on to tell us that the power of this oath is the very Power which Created and Upholds the universe itself. The very laws of nature, the laws of nature’s Creator are the very power of this oath:
16 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.
17 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.
18 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.
19 And through that oath are the depths made fast,
And abide and stir not from their place from eternity to eternity.
20 And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course,
And deviate not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.
21 And through that oath the stars complete their course,
And He calls them by their names,
And they answer Him from eternity to eternity.
22 [And in like manner the spirits of the water, and of the winds, and of all zephyrs, and (their) paths from all the quarters of the winds.
23 And there are preserved the voices of the thunder and the light of the lightnings: and there are preserved the chambers of the hail and the chambers of the hoarfrost, and the chambers of the mist, and the chambers of the rain and the dew.
24 And all these believe and give thanks before YHWH Tzva’ot, and glorify (Him) with all their power, and their food is in every act of thanksgiving: they thank and glorify and extol the name of YHWH Tzva’ot for ever and ever.]
(1Enoch 69:16-24)
Then Enoch reveals to us that the “hidden name”, by which the oath was enunciated is also “the name of that Son of Man.”
25 And this oath is mighty over them
And through it [they are preserved and] their paths are preserved,
And their course is not destroyed.
26 And there was great joy among them,
And they blessed and glorified and extolled
Because the name of that Son of Man had been revealed unto them.
27 And he sat on the throne of his glory,
And the sum of judgment was given unto the Son of Man,
And he caused the sinners to pass away and be destroyed from off the face of the earth,
And those who have led the world astray.
28 With chains shall they be bound?
And in their assemblage-place of destruction shall they be imprisoned,
And all their works vanish from the face of the earth.
29 And from henceforth there shall be nothing corruptible;
For that Son of Man has appeared,
And has seated himself on the throne of his glory,
And all evil shall pass away before his face,
And the word of that Son of Man shall go forth
And be strong before YHWH Tzva’ot.
(1Enoch 69:25-29)
But let us return to the oath itself. The “oath” was enunciated with “the hidden name” which corresponds to a “number” and revealed to us in the Book of Enoch only in hidden form with the words “biqa” (ביקה) and “akae” (אכע). So what is the hidden meaning of these mysterious words?
In Hebrew letters and numbers are the same thing, so a series of letters can express a word but it can also express a number. When Hebrew words are converted to numbers, or vice versa, this is called “gematria”.
The gematria of “biqa” (ביקה) is 117, which is also the gematria for “YHWH Elohim”.
The gematria of “akae” (אכע) is 91, which is also the gematria for “Adonai YHWH.” (91 is also the gematria for the Hebrew words for “amen,” “angel,” and “manna.”)
The “hidden name” which enunciated the oath was the name of YHWH! And the Book of Enoch also reveals to us that YHWH is the Name of the Son of Man. In my recently published blog Why the Rabbis Suppressed the Book of Enoch, I demonstrated that the Rabbis suppressed the Book of Enoch because the Deity of Messiah is revealed in it.
According to the Book of Enoch the fallen angels bound their oath by imprecations, swearing by the Name of YHWH and it is the Name of YHWH which has the power to bind these fallen angels “with chains” (1Enoch 69:28).
There is power in the Name of YHWH and this is why we read in Luke:
17 And those seventy whom He had sent, returned with great joy and said to Him, Our Adon, even the shadim were subject to us by Your Name.
18 And He said to them: I saw that HaSatan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give to you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and the power of the enemy, and nothing will hurt you.
(Luke 10:17-19 HRV)
And this is why we read in the Tanak:
The name of YHWH is a strong tower: the righteous runs into it, and is set up on high.
(Prov. 18:10 HRV)
Through You do we push down our adversaries; through Your name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
(Ps. 44:6 (44:2) HRV)
There is none like unto You, O YHWH; You are great, and Your name is great in might.
(Jer. 10:6 HRV)
The Name of YHWH is the Name of the Son of Man, the Name of the Messiah, and it is the Name which the Book of Enoch is telling us can bind the fallen angels “with chains”.
The Book of Enoch has now been restored to us in these last days as Nazarene Judaism is also being restored.

I don’t know why you continue to promote blasphemous and idolatrous teachings. When Peter had a revelation of the Messiah he did not say, You are YHWH, did he? And Yeshua said Peter’s revelation that he was the “The Messiah, the Son of the Living Elohim” was from the Father. But according to you Yah must have missed the opportunity to reveal himself as a man, which the Torah refutes on several occasions. The whole of Romans chapter five tell us why Yeshua had to be a MAN, not a god-man, not a “100% God, 100% man” nonsense that the churches teach. The fact that you quote a redacted apocryphal work to side with the Trinitarians betrays all of your other honorable studies. Come out form among them, and be separate!
Peter never had a revelation of Jesus. A sheet sown to the four corners is clearly seen in Ezekiel 1kjv, Yahuah Himself sitting upon a sheet like a great sea sown to four sides. You can easily Google the image for a view of what was seen. Jesus was SENT by his God, he wasn’t God Himself. On multiple occasions if you read the book Jesus plainly says he’s told what to say NOT speaking his own words. Ezekiel 2kjv shows the same. The thing about immortality is it can die or be tempted with evil, Jesus both died & was tempted. Paul said God raised up Jesus, Jesus can’t raise himself, send himself, speak of himself or show himself by dreams & visions to prophets those are the ordinances of his God from the beginning. Jesus said before Abraham was “I Am”. If you go back to Genesis reading you’d find Abraham had a VISION seeing the “I Am” not a man who dies the death of a man. Going before accusers Jesus clearly says God will tell believers what to say on trial. Being SENT before accusers, Jesus spoke the words given to him by his God. Doubting he was sent by God they questioned his authority tempting him. Being tempted BY EVIL his God put words on his lips show him what to say in response. God is even all knowing & all powerful. Your Jesus being a god didn’t even know when he’d return saying only his God knew. So show me how you found in the scripture where Jesus is God?.
Obviously you can know the difference between flesh & spirit. One is flesh for a while until dying to give up the spirit God gave while the other is Spirit eternally. God is unchanging, an immortality all knowing eternal (eternal means always) spirit that can not put of the flesh of a man but move through it to talk with a man. Jesus was created lower then the angels the book says. Humans & animals are beneath angels having God above all. You praying to and worshipping idols. Pray the FATHER IN HEAVEN he said. God is spirit and they that worship him must worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. you worship in flesh and in lies knowing nothing but your own things, things of a man that dies the death of a man.

Don’t the two together mean the angel of God? After all, not only is the oath given to him, but he is also the word of God, which is the manna. And that he is called Michael, he is one that is like God. He is the archangel, the first angel, and so is the light-bringer, the “let there be light” — and “in him was light”.
As to Jesus:
Jesus becomes this upon his resurrection — and “the word became flesh”, as in him is the Creation of God, and he is the Beginning of the Creation of God, being the firstborn from among the dead.
