4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
From Omega Frequency: Episode 8 (9:45):
Peter was quoting from the Book of Enoch when it comes to the judgement of these fallen angels. The Book of Enoch is a Jewish book of history written by Enoch the grandfather of Noah. While it not part of the biblical canon of inspired scripture it was found along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and was accepted as Jewish history both by the Jews and the early church. Jude, the half-brother of Jesus and his lead Apostle Peter have no problem quoting from it and they quote it in the Bible.
What did the book of Enoch teach? It teaches that a class of 200 angels who are called The Watchers were sent to teach mankind the things of God. Instead these angels rebelled against God and taught them things of the occult instead of the things of God. They taught them the ways of war, and how to make weapons. The expanded their knowledge of the universe by sharing secrets of the heavens and the earth with them. They taught them enchantments, divination, astrology and the art of root cutting for the use of mind altering drugs. They also crossbred animals to make them become more violent.
This book also teaches that the angels had real spiritual bodies. They could eat food and appear as human. We see this in the Bible. The angel ate food and appeared as human and were mistaken for men. Jude, Peter and Enoch say these watcher angels fell from their first estate and they took on corrupted flesh. When they did this they were able to have sex with the daughters of men. The Bible says they filled the earth with hybrid giants and they corrupted the DNA of mankind.
As a consequence of the evil perpetrated by the 200 Watcher angels, they were locked away in the chains of hell waiting on the final judgement on the final day of the Lord. The giants that were their children wiped out in the flood of Noah.
