Description According to Enoch (a book of the Apocrypha), Azazel was one of the Leaders of Grigori (The watchers), a group of fallen angels who married women. This same story (without any mention of Azazel) is told in Genesis 6: 2-4

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also afterward, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Enoch portrays Azazel as responsible for teaching people to make weapons and cosmetics, for which he was cast out of heaven. Enoch 8:1-3

"And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals [of the earth] and the art of working them; and bracelets and ornaments; and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids; and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways

The corruption brought on by Azazel and the Grigori degrades the human race, and the four archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel) saw much blood being shed upon the earth and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth The souls of men [made] their suit, saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High, Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were in heaven, which men were striving to learn."

In some parts, Azazel is another name for the devil, in other sources, he is a demon. I take the source of enoch and the grigori story.

Another draw for Myths & Legends TCG., this one is the "second part of another draw i done a time ago

Oh my, what a fetching angel. Azazel is my favorite fallen angel because what he brought to humans in the folklore are some of the most awesome things. You've drawn him very attractive, I wouldn't blame the women who courted him for liking him if he looked like that! With pretty swords and long flowing hair and everything <3

This guy caused a LOT of trouble. Very effective design!

Notice that they used some good things like knowledge, beauty and innovation to draw people in then led their spirits astray? That's how demons work, they always put bait on the hook. That's why they think humans are stupid.

Because the "el" in the angels name means "of God". Michael means "Who is like God" and Gabriel means "God is my strength" or "Strength of God".

Do you notice how every "demon" has given us every little and great thing that makes life enjoyable and interesting? Starting with Lucifer, who gave us sentience and sapience, brains! We were just cattle before him, Lucifer is who made humans humans!

Greetings,


That's not true, actually. In the spirit of giving credit where it's due:


James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

Those fallen watchers took good things, twisted it and introduced a lot of perversion like occult (drawing power from the underworld), child sacrifice, genetic poisoning, breeding cannibalistic giants with the women they impregnated and these giants brought a lot of wars and violence to the earth.Ā  They used their knowledge of the created universe and used it for their own selfishness. The Earth was becoming a hell hole and the safe zones were rapidly disappearing so God had to clear the canvas and salvage Noah and co.


Doesn't sound as lovely as what you described at first.

God always gave us intelligence and brains, also free will to choose him or go our own way. They went their own way and we're paying for it but we can always go back... or continue rebelling and making God out to be the bad guy. Adam in his unfallen state was massively more intelligent than modern man for them to make all the technological innovations they did (stone, bronze, iron, agriculture, art, music, etc.). Evil literally makes us stupider.


Peace~

It's not a bit sad, man. Who wants to side with a "god" whose most probable response to anything is divine wrath and eternal death? The Bible consistently says that Lucifer brings evil and death and pain and such, but when it's god doing those things? It's perfectly justified, because it was "Him" who ordered it and "He" can't be wrong because "He" himself said so.

That's true... The worst part is god deemed '' he can do anything ''' he ''' wants; because he's god '' but when devil does it '' no no no ! ''; people and their double standards...

As far As I know Lucifer\Devil doesn't killed even a single human being; but god of three Abrahamic religions ? Millions of not billions... Has a huge list

A bad part in this is that people are so influenced from all sides to think what the Church wants them to, that even serving them the truth (or proof of their errors) in a silver platter doesn't work.

Your artwork is fabulous!Ā  I was looking through pages of your paintings with a friend the other day.Ā  I saw SO many I loved.Ā  But this one really gave me pause.Ā  I love the way Azazel appears to be descending to give humans swords and knowledge.Ā  I enjoy your style a lot.Ā  And, your depiction of mythological figures is very sexy!Ā  Love Azazels long raven-colored hair and ebony wings in contrast with his pale skin.Ā  What is the symbol he has tattooed on his chest?

blaisen89 [2013-04-03 08:05:46 +0000 UTC]

Technically Azazel was never cast out of heaven. He was imprisoned in a cavern to await the time in which he would be needed again. Azazel has been corrupted by modern translations of his story and the Jewish people actually sacrificed one goat to him and one to God because Azazel took responsibility and penance for his actions. That is why he is the original scapegoat.

As for the pic...awesome detail and I love that you portrayed him with sapphire blue wings as is correct and appropriate.

Also on the angel who mated with women to spawn the Nephilim race was Azazel's second in command...Shameziah.
