Niphilim Wars

Pronunciation: NIH-fih-lim

How They Began

The wars began in the valleys of Heleah after Mehujael — the wicked Lamech’s own grandfather — took in the abandoned Zillah, who bore him another Niphilim child. Children conceived to hold the spirits of the Decadarchoi infested the land, and violence became universal. The wicked used the element of their own souls to hurt, kill, and destroy — known in heaven as the greatest evil of all wickedness, the use of one’s own body as a weapon of destruction (Grandmothers 4:87–90).

Spreading Through the North

Mahujah, reporting from the land of Towah, said that Lamech — rejected there by his own brethren as a man of low esteem — had been driven to flee into Heleah. Yet Lamech’s works spread anyway to all parts of the north country, and the Niphilim wars there grew exceedingly fierce (Enoch, Seth 3:125–126).

A Family Torn Apart

Enoch’s own father, Jared, feared that his other children — Enoch’s siblings, who had gone to dwell in the land of Towah — had either been consumed in the Niphilim wars or become embedded in the sins surrounding them, having heard nothing of their welfare (Enoch, Seth 2:63).

Yaatsekawd’s Cry at the Gate of Eden

In the midst of the Niphilim wars, in the darkness of night, Yaatsekawd himself was heard crying out at the gate of Eden: “How long, oh Lord” — distraught that wickedness and vengeance seemed as though they would never end (Enoch, Seth 1:85).

Four Views of the War’s End

See Heleah for the four distinct perspectives Melchizedek’s Little Book records on what the Flood, ending these wars, actually meant.
