Before the Flood

Step into the dark, apocalyptic prequel to the global deluge in this episode of Before the Flood, where we uncover the forbidden history of the Watchers from the ancient Book of Enoch. We journey back to the stormy summit of Mount Hermon, where two hundred celestial beings led by Semjaza make a conspiratorial pact, binding themselves by a mutual curse to descend to earth.

But their true rebellion was not merely physical; it was the unauthorized transmission of the "eternal secrets" of heaven—arming humanity with metallurgy, warfare, cosmetics, and root-cutting sorcery before we possessed the moral maturity to govern them. This premature leap in technology birthed the ravenous, colossal Nephilim, unleashing an ecological and social devastation so absolute that it forced a cosmic rescue mission by the four archangels and the purifying waters of the Flood. Join Kelli and Mason as they follow the patriarch Enoch's dangerous role as mediator, trace the book's profound influence on the New Testament writers Jude and Peter, and explore how this text survived centuries of suppression to remain sacred scripture in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church
