Enoch 15
Common Questions About Enoch 15
What does God say directly to Enoch in chapter 15?
God tells Enoch not to fear, and instructs him to remind the Watchers that they, being holy spiritual beings meant to live eternally in heaven, had no need for wives as humans do, and that by taking human wives and defiling themselves with 'the blood of flesh,' they abandoned the very nature God gave them.
What becomes of the spirits of the giants according to this chapter?
Because the giants were born from the union of spiritual Watchers and human flesh, their spirits, once the giants are slain, become evil spirits that remain on the earth, afflicting, oppressing, and warring against humanity, hungering and thirsting without ever finding satisfaction.

Questions to Think About
- God's rebuke centers on the Watchers abandoning the nature and calling He originally gave them. Is there an area of your own life where you've drifted from the calling or nature God intended for you, chasing something that was never meant for you?
- The chapter presents the giants' evil spirits as an unintended, lasting consequence of the Watchers' original sin. What does this suggest about how far the ripple effects of one wrong choice can travel beyond the person who made it?
