Asbeel (“God’s deserter” or “the thought of
God,” sources conflict) was formerly of the
Orders of Angels and according to the Book of
Enoch, a Watcher angel as well. However, because
he lusted after human women, he advised and
misled the other WATCHERS that they too should
rebel against God and swear allegiance to SAMIAZA. After his Fall (see FALLEN ANGELS ), he
taught mankind the secrets of the natural
universe and fathered the NEPHILIM. Asbeel is
oftentimes referred to as one of the FIVE SATANS.
