Who’s Aza’zel ?

“And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Ya’ohsharal | Yashar'el, and because of their transgressions in all their sins:”
AND YA’OH | Yahuah spoke unto Mashah | Moses | Mosheh after the death of the two sons of Aharon, when they offered before YA’OH | Yahuah, and died; And YA’OH | Yahuah said unto Al-Mashah | El-Mosheh, Speak unto El-Aharon your brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the mercy seat, which is upon the Ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. Thus shall Aharon come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for an ascending smoke offering. He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen belt, and with the linen turban shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. And he shall take of the assembly of the children of Ya’ohsharal | Yashar'el two kids of the goats for a sin offering,
and one ram for an ascending smoke offering. And Aharon shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. VAYIQRA (LEVITICUS) 16:1-6 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before YA'OH | Yahuah at the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly. And Aharon shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 | YA’OH | יהוה | YHWH - Yahuah, and the other lot for Aza'zel. And Aharon shall bring the goat upon which YA’OH’s | Yahuah's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be for Aza'zel, shall be presented alive before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 | YA’OH | יהוה | YHWH - Yahuah, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for Aza'zel into the wilderness. And Aharon shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: VAYIQRA (LEVITICUS) 16:7-11 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before YA’OH | Yahuah, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: And he shall put the incense upon the fire before YA’OH | Yahuah, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not: And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: VAYIQRA (LEVITICUS) 16:12-15 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Ya’ohsharal | Yashar'el, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the Tabernacle of the assembly, that remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. And there shall be no man in the Tabernacle of the assembly when he goes in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Ya’ohsharal | Yashar'el. And he shall go out unto the altar that is before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 | YA’OH | יהוה | YHWH - Yahuah, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. VAYIQRA (LEVITICUS) 16:16-18 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Ya’ohsharal | Yashar'el. And when he has made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the Tabernacle of the assembly, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: And Aharon shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Ya’ohsharal | Yashar'el, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. And Aharon shall come into the Tabernacle of the assembly, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his ascending smoke offering, and the ascending smoke offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. VAYIQRA (LEVITICUS) 16:19-25 את CEPHER Publishing Group.

What connection does Aza’zel have to events of the past as well as to the present?
MOREOVER Aza'zel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered. Impiety increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways. Amazarak taught all the sorcerers, and dividers of roots: Armers the solution of sorcery; Barkay'al the observers of the stars, Akiybe'el Tamiy'el taught astronomy; And Asarad'el taught the motion of the moon, And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to heaven. CHANOK (ENOCH) 8:1-9 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
You have seen what Aza'zel has done, how he has taught every species of iniquity upon earth, and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens. CHANOK (ENOCH) 9:5 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Here’s the complete setting for this verse:
THEN Miyka'el and Gavriy'el, Rapha'el, Sury'al, and Uriy'el, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another, the voice of their cries; The earth deprived has cried even to the gate of heaven. And now to you, O you Holy One of heaven, the souls of men complain, saying, bring judgment to us from The Most High AL | El Elyon. Then they said to their Master | Adonai, the King, The Master of Masters | Adonai Ha'Adoniym, The Alo'ah of ALA’AYM | Elohai Ha'Elohiym, The King of Kings | Melek ha'melekiym. The throne of your glory is forever and ever, and forever and ever is your name sanctified and glorified. You are blessed and glorified. You have made all things; you possess power over all things; and all things are open and manifest before you. You behold all things, and nothing can be concealed from you. You have seen what Aza'zel has done, how he has taught every species of iniquity upon earth, and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens. Shemiy'aza also has taught sorcery, to whom you have given authority over those who are associated with him. They have gone together to the daughters of men; have lain with them; have become polluted; And have revealed their sins to them. The women likewise have brought forth Naphaliym | Giants.
Thus has the whole earth been filled with blood and with iniquity. And now behold the souls of those who are dead, cry out. And complain even to the gate of heaven. Their groaning ascends; nor can they escape from the unrighteousness which is committed on earth. You know all things, before they exist. You know these things, and what has been done by them; yet you do not speak to us. What on account of these things ought we to do to them? CHANOK (ENOCH) 9:1-14 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
THEN El Elyon | The Most High AL, the Great and Holy One spoke, And sent Arsayalalyur to the son of Lemek, Saying, Say to him in my name, Conceal yourself. Then explain to him the consummation which is about to take place; for all the earth shall perish; the waters of a deluge shall come over the whole earth, and all things which are in it shall be destroyed. And now teach him how he may escape, and how his seed may remain in all the earth. CHANOK (ENOCH) 10:1-5 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Again YA’OH | Yahuah said to Rapha'el, Bind Aza'zel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in Duda'el, cast him in there. Throw upon him hurled and pointed stones, covering him with darkness; There shall he remain forever; cover his face, that he may not see the light. And in the great day of judgment let him be cast into the fire. Restore the earth, which the angels have corrupted; and announce life to it, that I may revive it. All the sons of men shall not perish in consequence of every secret, by which the Watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring. CHANOK (ENOCH) 10:6-11 אתCEPHER Publishing Group.
All the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of Aza'zel. To him therefore ascribe the whole crime. CHANOK (ENOCH) 10:12 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
To Gavriy'el also YA’OH | Yahuah said, Go to the bastards, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication; and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth, and excite them one against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs. They shall all entreat you, but their fathers shall not obtain their wishes respecting them; for they shall hope for eternal life, and that they may live, each of them, five hundred years. To Miyka'el likewise YA’OH | Yahuah said, Go and announce his crime to Shemiy'aza, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with all their impurity. And when all their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the perdition of their beloved, bind them for seventy generations underneath the earth, even to the day of judgment, and of consummation, until the judgment, the effect of which will last forever, be completed. Then shall they be taken away into the lowest depths of the fire in torments; and in confinement shall they be shut up forever. Immediately after this shall Shemiy'aza, together with them, burn and perish; they shall be bound until the consummation of many generations. Destroy all the souls addicted to lust, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind. CHANOK (ENOCH) 10:13-18 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth; Let every evil work be destroyed; The plant of righteousness and of rectitude appear, and its produce become a blessing. CHANOK (ENOCH) 10:19-21 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Righteousness and rectitude shall be forever planted with delight. And then shall all the qodeshiym give thanks, and live until they have begotten a thousand children, while the whole period of their youth, and their Shabbaths shall be completed in peace. In those days all the earth shall be cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted with trees, and filled with benediction; every tree of delight shall be planted in it. In it shall vines be planted; and the vine which shall be planted in it shall yield fruit to satiety; every seed, which shall be sown in it, shall produce for one measure a thousand; and one measure of olives shall produce ten presses of oil. Purify the earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all crime, from all impiety, and from all the pollution which is committed upon it. Exterminate them from the earth. Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations shall pay me divine honors, and bless me; and all shall adore me. The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation forever. CHANOK (ENOCH) 10:22-27 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
THEN Chanok, passing on, said to Aza'zel: You shall not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against you. He shall bind you; Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be yours, on account of the oppression which you have taught; And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which you have discovered to the children of men. Then departing from him I spoke to them all together; And they all became terrified, and trembled; Beseeching me to write for them a memorial of supplication, that they might obtain forgiveness; and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the ALA’AYM | Elohiym of heaven; because they could not themselves thenceforwards address him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the disgraceful offence for which they were judged. CHANOK (ENOCH) 13:1-6 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Then I wrote a memorial of their prayer and supplications, for their spirits | ruachoth, for everything which they had done, and for the subject of their entreaty, that they might obtain remission and rest. Proceeding on, I continued over the waters of Dan, which is on the right to the west of Chermon, reading the memorial of their prayer, until I fell asleep. And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me. I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them. When I awoke I went to them. All being collected together stood weeping in Oubelseya'el, which is situated between Lebanon and Seniyr, with their faces veiled. I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream; And began to utter these words of righteousness, reproving the Watchers of heaven.

THEN I looked and turned myself to another part of the earth, where
To this valley they brought monarchs and the mighty. And there my eyes beheld the instruments which they were making, fetters of iron of immeasurable weight. Then I inquired of the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, saying, For whom are these fetters and instruments prepared? He replied, These are prepared for the host of Aza'zel, that they may be delivered over and adjudged to the lowest condemnation; and that their angels may be overwhelmed with hurled stones, as YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth has commanded. Miyka'el and Gavriy'el, Rapha'el and Penu'el shall be strengthened in that day, and shall then cast them into a furnace of blazing fire, that YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth may be avenged of them for their crimes; because they became ministers of Satan, and seduced those who dwell upon earth. In those days shall punishment go forth from YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth. All the waters, which are in the heavens and above them, shall be mixed together. The water which is above heaven shall be the male; And the water which is under the earth shall be the female: and all shall be destroyed who dwell upon earth, and who dwell under the extremities of heaven. By these means shall they understand the iniquity which they have committed on earth: and by these means shall they perish. CHANOK (ENOCH) 54:1-11 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
O you kings, O you mighty, who inhabit the world you shall behold my Elect One,sitting upon the throne of my glory. And he shall judge Aza'zel, all his associates, and all his hosts, in the name of Yahuah Tseva'oth. CHANOK (ENOCH) 55:5 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Here’s the context for this verse:
AFTERWARDS the Ancient of Days sighed, and said, In vain have I destroyed all the inhabitants of the earth. And he swore by his great name: Henceforward I will not act thus towards all those who dwell upon earth. But I will place a sign in the heavens; and it shall be a faithful witness between me and them forever, as long as the days of heaven and earth last upon the earth. Afterwards, according to this my decree, when I shall be disposed to seize them beforehand, by the instrumentality of angels, in the day of affliction and trouble, my wrath and my punishment shall remain upon them, my punishment and my wrath, says Elohiym | ALA’AYM YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth. O you kings, O you mighty, who inhabit the world you shall behold my Elect One, sitting upon the throne of my glory. And he shall judge Aza'zel, all his associates, and all his hosts, in the name of YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth. There likewise I beheld hosts of angels who were moving in punishment, confined in a network of iron and brass. Then I inquired of the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, To whom those under confinement were going. He said, To each of their elect and their beloved, that they may be cast into the fountains and deep recesses of the valley. And that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved; the days of whose life shall be consumed, but the days of their error shall be innumerable. Then shall angels combine together, and conspire. The chiefs of the east, among the Parthians and Medes, shall remove kings, in whom a spirit | ruach of perturbation shall enter. They shall hurl them from their thrones, springing as lions from their dens, and like famished wolves into the midst of the flock. They shall go up, and tread upon the land of their elect. The land of their elect shall be before them. The threshing floor, the path, and the city of my righteous shall impede their horses. They shall rise up to destroy each other; their right hand shall be strengthened; nor shall a man acknowledge his friend or his brother; Nor the son his father and his mother; until the number of the dead bodies is their death and punishment. Neither shall this take place without cause. In those days shall the mouth of She'ol be opened, into which they shall be immerged; She'ol shall destroy and swallow up sinners from the face of the elect. CHANOK (ENOCH) 55:1-12 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Now, let’s consider these “Watchers or Fallen Angels”
AFTER this judgment they shall be astonished and irritated; for it shall be exhibited to the inhabitants of the earth. Behold the names of those angels. These are their names. The first of them is Shemiy'aza; the second, Arstikapha; the third, Armen; the fourth, Kakaba'el; the fifth, Tur'el; the sixth, Rumy'el; the seventh, Dany'al; the eighth, Ka'el; the ninth, Barak'el; the tenth, Aza'zel; the eleventh, Armers; the twelfth, Batary'al; the thirteenth, Basasa'el; the fourteenth, Anan'el; the fifteenth, Tury'al; the sixteenth, Simapise'el; the seventeenth, Yetar'el; the eighteenth, Tuma'el; the nineteenth, Tar'el; the twentieth, Rum'el; the twenty-first, Azazy'el. These are the chiefs of their angels, and the names of the leaders of their hundreds, and the leaders of their fifties, and the leaders of their tens. The name of the first is Yekun (the rebel): it was he who seduced all the sons of the holy angels; and causing them to descend on earth, led astray the offspring of men. The name of the second is Kesab'el, who pointed out evil counsel to the sons of the holy angels, and induced them to corrupt their bodies by generating mankind. The name of the third is Gadr'el: he discovered every stroke of death to the children of men. He seduced Chuah; and discovered to the children of men the instruments of death, the coat of mail, the shield, and the sword for slaughter; every instrument of death to the children of men. From his hand were derived to them who dwell upon earth, from that period forever. The name of the fourth is Penemue: he discovered to the children of men bitterness and sweetness; And pointed out to them every secret of their wisdom. He taught men to understand writing, and ink and paper. Therefore numerous have been those who have gone astray from every period of the world, even to this day. For men were not born for this, thus with pen and with ink to confirm their faith; Since they were not created, except that, like the angels, they might remain righteous and pure. Nor would death, which destroys everything, have effected them; But by this their knowledge they perish, and by this also power consumes. The name of the fifth is Kasyade: he discovered to the children of men every wicked stroke of the ruachoth and of devils: The stroke to the embryo in the womb, to diminish; the stroke to the ruach by the bite of the serpent, and the midday stroke of the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaet. This is the number of the Kasb'el; the principal part of the oath which The Most High AL | El Elyon, dwelling in glory, revealed to the holy ones. Its name is Beka. He spoke to holy Miyka'el to discover to them the sacred name, that they might understand that secret name, and thus remember the oath; and that those who pointed out every secret thing to the children of men might tremble at that name and oath. This is the power of that oath; for powerful it is, and strong. And he established this oath of Akae by the instrumentality of the holy Miyka'el. These are the secrets of this oath, and by it were they confirmed. Heaven was suspended by it before the world was made, forever. By it has the earth been founded upon the flood; while from the concealed parts of the hills the agitated waters proceed forth from the creation to the end of the world. By this oath the sea has been formed, and the foundation of it. During the period of its fury he established the sand against it, which continues unchanged forever; and by this oath the abyss has been made strong; nor is it removable from its station forever and ever. By this oath the sun and moon complete their progress, never swerving from the command to them forever and ever. By this oath the stars complete their progress; And when their names are called, they return an answer, forever and ever. Thus the heavens have the blowing of the winds: all of them have ruachoth, and are a complete combination of breathings. There the treasures of thunder are kept, and the splendor of the lightning. There are kept the treasures of hail and of frost, the treasures of snow, the treasures of rain and of dew. All these confess and laud before YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth. They glorify with all their power of praise; and he sustains them in all thanksgiving; while they laud, glorify, and exalt the name of YA’OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth forever and ever. And with them he establishes this oath, by which they and their paths are preserved; nor does their progress perish. Great was their joy. They blessed, glorified, and exalted, because the name of the Son of A'dam was revealed to them. He sat upon the throne of his glory; and the principal part of the judgment was assigned to him, the Son of A'dam. Sinners shall disappear and perish from the face of the earth, while those who seduced them shall be bound with chains forever. According to their ranks of corruption shall they be imprisoned, and all their works shall disappear from the face of the earth; nor thenceforward shall there be any to corrupt; for the Son of A'dam has been seen, sitting on the throne of his glory. Everything wicked shall disappear, and depart from before his face; and the Word of the Son of A'dam shall become powerful in the presence of YA'OH of Hosts | Yahuah Tseva'oth. This is the third parable of Chanok. CHANOK (ENOCH) 69:1-42 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Consequently, these days are named Puriym after the name of Pur. Therefore, for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, ECTER (ESTHER) 9:26 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
The Yahudiym ordained, took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep את these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Puriym should not fail from among the Yahudiym, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. Then Ecter the queen, the daughter of Aviyhayil, and Mordekai the Yahudiy, wrote with all authority, to confirm את this second letter of Puriym. And he sent the cepheriym unto all the Yahudiym, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashverosh, with words of peace and truth, To confirm את these days of Puriym in their times appointed, according as Mordekai the Yahudiy and Ecter the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry. And the decree of Ecter confirmed these matters of Puriym; and it was written in the cepher. ECTER (ESTHER) 9:27-32 את CEPHER Publishing Group.
Observing Puriym (Purim)
3.2.2015 (The following comes from the article written by The CEPHER PUBLISHING GROUP).
This coming week presents an intriguing period: the feast of Purim (Purim, in the traditional spelling). While there is ample discussion regarding this feast, the fast of Ecter (Esther), and the story of Haman, how much do we truly comprehend about Purim?
Let us commence with a few premises. Firstly, Purim is not a moediym (appointed time) as specified within the Torah. The moediym of YA’OH | YAHUAH commence with Shabbath (the weekly Sabbath) and encompass Pecach (Passover), Matsah (Unleavened Bread), Bikoor (First Fruits), Sheva’oth (Pentecost), Yom Teruah (Trumpets / Rosh Hashanah on the civil calendar), Yom Kippur (Atonement), and Sukka’oth (Tabernacles). These moediym also include the shemitah years or Sabbatical year (every 7th year) and the Jubilee. There are two additional feasts, however, that are prevalent within the practice of the faith, namely Chanukah and Puriym.
Chanukah, the feast of Chanoch (Enoch) or dedication, is notably a feast of the house of Benyamin, as the Makabiym were of that tribe. Conversely, the feast of Puriym is recognized as a Jewish feast, despite the fact that both Mordekai and Ecter belonged to the house of Benyamin.
What, then, is this Puriym? We commence with the understanding that this is a plural word, ending in the masculine plural iym. Therefore, it is the plural of the word Pur.
Additional Information from Ecter (Esther) 14:24-26 CEPHER Publishing Group.
Due to Haman, the son of Hammedatha, the Agagiy, the adversary of all the Yahudiym, devising a plan to annihilate them, and casting Pur, which signifies the lot, to consume and destroy them; 25 However, when Ecter approached the king, he issued a decree through letters, commanding that his wicked scheme against the Yahudiym should return upon him and that he and his sons should be executed by hanging on the gallows. 26 Consequently, these days are commemorated as Puriym, after the name of Pur.
We discern that the casting of Pur corresponds to the casting of the lot.
Additions to Esther (Esther) 15:10-13 CEPHER Publishing Group.
Therefore, he cast two lots: one for the people of ALA’AYM | ELOHIYM and another for all the other nations. 11 At the appointed time, hour, and day of judgment, before ALA’AYM | ELOHIYM among all nations, these two lots arrived. 12 Consequently, ALA’AYM | ELOHIYM remembered his people and justified his inheritance. 13 Therefore, these days shall be observed by them in the month Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the same month, with an assembly, joy, and gladness before ALA’AYM | ELOHIYM, as they shall do forever among his people.
Hence, the name can be interpreted as the plural of Pur – Puriym, denoting two lots. Let us examine when these two lots are mentioned in the first witness:
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 16:5-10 CEPHER Publishing Group.
Furthermore, Aza’zel taught men to craft swords, knives, shields, breastplates, mirrors, bracelets, and ornaments, as well as use paint and dyes, leading to widespread corruption and immorality.
Chanoch (Enoch) 8:5-9 CEPHER Publishing Group.
You have witnessed Aza’zel’s actions, as he has imparted knowledge of every form of iniquity upon the earth and revealed the celestial secrets. Samyaza, his accomplice, has also taught sorcery, which you have entrusted to those associated with him. They have mated with human women, resulting in pollution and the revelation of their sins.
Additionally, the women have given birth to giants, contributing to the pervasive bloodshed and iniquity on the earth.
Chanoch (Enoch) 10:6-12 CEPHER Publishing Group.
Once again, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 | YA’OH | יהוה | YHWH - Yahuah instructed Raphael to bind Azazel’s hands and feet, cast him into darkness, and then open the desert in Duda’el and cast him therein. 7 Hurl and point stones at him, covering him with darkness. 8 He shall remain there forever, concealing his face so that he may not perceive the light. 9 On the great day of judgment, cast him into the fire. 10 Restore the earth, which the angels have corrupted; and proclaim life to it so that I may revive it. 11 All human beings shall not perish due to every secret, by which the Watchers have destroyed and taught their offspring. 12 The entire earth has been corrupted by the effects of Azazel’s teachings. Therefore, he shall bear the sole responsibility for this crime.
Consequently, a live goat was presented before YA’OH | YAHUAH and then sent into the wilderness to retrieve Azazel. We can discern the precursor of Purim in this act of casting two lots as a means of atonement. These Purim are recorded in the gospels as follows:
Matthew 13:24-30
Another parable was presented to them by YA’OH | YAHUAH, stating, “The Kingdom of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 | YA’OH | יהוה | YHWH - Yahuah is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.” 25 However, while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, then departed. 26 When the blade sprouted and bore fruit, the tares also appeared. 27 The servants of the house of YA’OH | YAHUAH approached him and said, “Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then has it tares?” 28 He replied, “An enemy has done this.” The servants asked, “Will you then have us gather them up?” 29 He said, “No; lest while you gather up the tares, you also uproot the wheat with them.” 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. In the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, “Gather the tares first and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Once more, we encounter a Purim narrative that employs the concept of two separate lots, one for the wheat and the other for the tares, both of which are to be harvested on the same day. This parable further illustrates this idea through the juxtaposition of sheep on the right and goats on the left.
Matthew 25:31-46
Upon the advent of the Son of Man in his glory, accompanied by all the holy angels, he shall ascend upon the throne of his splendor. Prior to him, all nations shall be gathered, and he shall meticulously separate them, akin to a shepherd distinguishing his sheep from the goats.
The righteous shall be placed on his right, while the goats shall be relegated to the left. Subsequently, the King shall address them on his right, proclaiming, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the very beginning of time.”
He shall recount the acts of compassion he performed, stating, “I was hungry, and you provided me with sustenance. I was thirsty, and you quenched my thirst. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me into your embrace. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was imprisoned, and you came to my aid.”
The righteous shall respond with reverence, inquiring, “Lord, when did we perceive your hunger and offer you sustenance? When did we witness your thirst and provide you with refreshment? When did we recognize your strangerhood and extend hospitality? When did we witness your nakedness and offer you clothing? When did we witness your sickness and provide medical assistance? When did we witness your imprisonment and offer solace?”
The King shall respond with wisdom, affirming, “Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. Conversely, when you have not done it unto one of the least of these, you have not done it unto me.”
The righteous shall then depart into eternal life, while the cursed shall be cast into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
In summary, we now have a clear picture of who this Watcher, “Fallen Angel”, Aza’zel is. We also understand the significance for the “casting of Lots” and why we celebrate this week in the month of Adar, “Purim” or casting of “Lots. And why there’s a separation of the sheep/righteous, from the goats/wicked.
