Secrets from Beyond The Grave

air in Kuwait and the surrounding area to be filled with a black smoke that covered the sun, and, at times, the chemicals that remained in the atmosphere caused the moon to have a reddish appearance. These fallen angels are bound both "under the waters" and "in the pit" (abyss). The inspired writers of Scripture speak of the gates under the sea: Or who shut in the sea with doors,

When it burst forth and issued from the womb?

--Job 38:8

Have you entered the springs of the sea?

Or have you walked in search of the depths?

Have the gates of death been revealed to you?

Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

--Job 38:16-17

Spirits Are Under the Waters

When studying the Scriptures, many times it becomes important to examine the original meaning of words to ensure that the English translation has correctly presented the true interpretation. Below is one example: Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. --Job 26:5-6, KJV In this passage Job mentions hell (Sheol) but also mentions destruction, which is the Hebrew word abaddon , the same name of the evil angel mentioned in Revelation 9:11! Another word to examine is the word dead , which in this passage is the Hebrew word rapha´ or rephaim . What makes this word unique is that the word rephaim is used in the English translation of the Bible as one of the common names for a race of giants that once roamed the earth. The name is found in 2 Samuel as a valley in Jerusalem once ruled by the giants (2 Sam. 5:18, 22; 23:13). The word giants is found throughout the English translation of the Old Testament and is the word rapha´ , the root word for rephaim . Job 26:5 says: "Dead things [ rapha´ ] are formed from under the waters." The word form in Job 26:5 in Hebrew is chuwl , and it can mean "to writhe in pain." Since fallen angels are now bound in tartaroo (2 Pet. 2:4), then these fallen angels are now confined under the waters, under the mountains in the lowest subterranean chambers, experiencing eternal pain. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day. --Jude 6
