rebelled from Elohim’s divine council that surrounded his very throne.
    Elohim himself sat on the high throne, the Creator and Lord of all. Though mortal eyes could not see him, he was visible in his vice-regent, the Son of Man, The Angel of the Lord, who mediated and led God’s heavenly host. The members of the host were the Sons of God, or Bene Elohim, ten thousand times ten thousand of his Holy Ones who deliberated with the Almighty and would carry forth his judgments — except those who had fallen.
    T wo hundred of them had rebelled and fallen. They were called “Watchers.” By masquerading as gods of the land, they sought to usurp the throne of Elohim and draw human worship away from the Creator. To further enslave the sons of men in idolatry, they had revealed unholy secrets of sorceries, fornications, and war. Enoch had pronounced judgment upon them in faraway days, but the manifestation of that judgment had not yet fallen upon the Watchers. The fullness of their iniquity was not yet complete.
    Elohim had created mankind as his representative image on earth, to rule in his likeness. If the fallen Sons of God could transform the image of God into their image, their revenge would be almost complete. By mixing the human line of descent with their own, they could stop the bloodline of the promised King from bringing forth its fruit, and thereby win the war of the Seed of Nachash with the Seed of Havah.
    Anu had a mellower side that Inanna lacked. He preferred to keep humans alive to serve him rather than destroy them. It was all a matter of perspective. He believed wisdom dictated that his own interests be portrayed as compassion to the humans. Perhaps they would even one day love him instead of fear him. Was this not what it was like to be Elohim?
    Lugalanu interrupted Anu’s thoughts . “These nomads killed our scouts. They are ruthless savages.”
    Anu responded, “I too would kill those ugly little beasts if they were sniffing around my residence.”
    Inanna snorted with disapproval but refused to keep fighting. She would choose her battles. This was not one of them.
    “Meet with the tribal leaders and allow them every opportunity to submit,” Anu decreed.
    Inanna’s ire went up. “And if they do not?”
    “Then enforce the will of the gods.” He was not about to appear weak. His patience only went so far.
    Lugalanu bowed low and backed away from their presence . He wondered if he had kept a proper balance of flattery for Inanna without disrespect for Anu’s supremacy.
    When the human was gone, Inanna grinned with delight to herself. Her vampiric fangs glistened red as she guzzled the blood offering with satisfaction. Perhaps she had not lost this battle after all .

Chapter 3
    Noah, Lemuel and the others trudged into the camp after their pazuzu hunt. Noah hoped that the evening feast would distract the tribe’s attention from the somber faces of the hunting party. The news would not go over well with the community. They had been discovered, and while they could not be sure that the pazuzu escaped to deliver the information, they had to consider it a strong possibility. They would have to discuss it with the elders tonight. Even if the pazuzu did not make it back to the city, its disappearance would eventually bring more scouts to the area.
    The camp nestled in the thick cover of the great cedar forest. Ancient trees blocked much of the light, but they also obscured the view of hostile airborne eyes. Old fallen trees provided dry wood to minimize smoke. Tents and other shelters spread over the large encampment with plenty of camouflage to conceal their presence. The livestock of sheep, goats and donkeys were penned off to the east face as an early warning of arrivals from the river cities. The middle of the camp vibrated with mothers boiling soups over low fires, children playing and giggling, and elders cleaning up loose end s.
    These were a happy people who served Elohim. Since they had become nomads,
