Asbeel - The Fallen Angel

Today we will be talking about a demon that is unfamiliar to many of us. Even if you search for this entity, very little could be found. For that reason it makes himself an interesting figure.

According to the early scriptures, God sent down a group of angels, to watch over his greatest creation, which is the mankind. That group of angels was called the ‘Watchers’. Among them was Asbeel. Before embracing the demonic nature he was an angel, serving God alongside the other angels. Asbeel and his fellow watchers lust for the beauty of the women and betrayed god by taking them as their wives. Even though Asbeel was an angel, his name means quite the opposite from the name of an angel. Asbeel means "God has forsaken", or "deserter from God".

After betraying god Asbeel and his fellow watchers became a fallen angels who led humanity away from God. Even though most fallen angels work on an agenda to defame god, Asbeel was significantly different from that. Apart from his lust for the women, his curiosity led him to his betrayal. He questioned why god punish and put his greatest creation through agony. He believed God as a tyrant, whom would rather have worship and praise given to him, in exchange for aiding mankind.

Asbeel pondered why god would rather just help mankind whether or not they worship him. Which is a fair question if you ask me! He pondered on why God would not allow His creations to properly advance themselves giving them the knowledge they deserve. And why he would choose destructive solutions, rather than completely clean away the evil and malice in their hearts since he was capable of it.

Asbeel believed that humanity should not be played by Devils, Angels and Gods on a daily basis but should be independent. I think he is one of the few entities who asked an actual reasonable question. Because god refuse to answer his curiosity he sided with satan, thereby ruling the underworld. Asbeel is a fallen angel that appears in the first book of Enoch, on chapter 69, verse 5 where it reads: "And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters of men." What do you guys think of this entity? Do you think he deserves to be a fallen angel or he was curious for the right reasons?
