THE WANDERING STARS (GODS) ENOCHIAN PERSPECTIVE:

On January 25, 2025, seven planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—aligned in a rare “planetary parade.” 

The "Wandering Stars" in Enochian Cosmology

In the Book of Enoch, particularly in 1 Enoch 18-19 and 1 Enoch 21, these "wandering stars" are described as celestial beings, often fallen angels, who have disobeyed God’s commandments. According to the narrative:

1. Rebellion Against God: The wandering stars are seen as rebellious entities that did not keep their appointed positions in the heavens. Their erratic movements symbolize disobedience to the divine order.

2. Judgment and Imprisonment: Enoch recounts a vision where he sees these wandering stars bound in a great abyss of fire, awaiting judgment. This punishment reflects their betrayal of their divine purpose. In 1 Enoch 18:14-15, Enoch says:

> "And I saw the seven stars, like great burning mountains, and the angel said to me: 'This place is the end of heaven and earth; it has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven.'"

3. Personification of the Planets: The text connects these wandering stars with spiritual beings, suggesting that what we observe as planets were understood as divine entities with agency. This aligns with the ancient worldview that celestial phenomena were tied to gods or angels.

Connection to Planetary Deities

The idea that planets were wandering stars is shared across many ancient cultures, including Babylonian, Greek, and Roman traditions. These civilizations often associated planets with gods (e.g., Venus with Aphrodite, Mars with Ares). The Book of Enoch offers a monotheistic reinterpretation of this belief, framing these celestial beings as created by God but rebellious.

While the text does not explicitly name the planets or refer to them as "gods" in a polytheistic sense, it emphasizes their spiritual significance and moral accountability. By depicting the wandering stars as rebellious angels, Enoch reframes what might have been seen as planetary deities into fallen servants of the one true God.

Symbolism and Interpretation

The wandering stars in Enoch symbolize the consequences of disobedience to divine will. They serve as a cosmic reminder of God's sovereignty over creation, including the heavens. This interpretation reinforces the theme of order versus chaos, a central motif in many biblical and extra-biblical texts.
