Judaism is said to be the king of the heavenly realm in Egypt, and the word means "rebel". He was a member of the Seraph, who advocated the pursuit of the Hebrews when they fled Egypt, and was condemned by God for colluding with the notorious rahab (biblical character). In the eighth chapter of the Apocryphal Book of Enoch, it is recorded that the earthly angels of Noah's day came to the earth with a group of angels to educate mankind about the dogma of justice and fairness.

The New American Bible also quotes the story of Genesis in its commentary on Jude, which speaks of these fallen angels who came to earth having immoral sexual relations with human women: "And there are angels who do not keep their thrones and forsake their dwellings, and the Lord has kept them in eternal chains in the netherworld." Waiting for the judgment of the great day; and as the men of Sodom, Gomorrah, and the cities round about. and whosoever commits adultery in their likeness, and follows different kinds, shall be punished by eternal fire, and shall be set as an example. ”

God did not give these fallen angels any respite, they could not open their eyes to heaven and were bound in chains.
