I thought this was the strangest thing, until I was brought to remembrance of what I read in the Apocalypse of Abraham.....read it, then watch the vid Apoc of Abraham 13:1 . And I did everything according to the angel’s command. And I gave the angels who had come to us the divided parts of the animals. And the angel took 2.(3.) the two birds. And I waited for the evening gift. And an unclean bird flew down 4. on the carcasses, and I drove it away. And the unclean bird spoke to me and said, What are you doing, Abraham, on the holy heights where no one eats or drinks, nor is there upon them food for men. But these all will be consumed by fire and 5. they will burn you up. Leave the man who is with you and flee! For if you 6. ascend to the height, they will destroy you. And it came to pass when I saw the bird speaking I said this to the angel: What is this, my lord? And he said, 7. This is disgrace, this is Azazel! And he said to him, Shame on you, 8. Azazel! For Abraham’s portion is in heaven, and yours is on the earth, for you have selected here, (and) become enamored of the swelling place of your blemish. Therefore the Eternal Ruler, the Mighty One, has given you a dwelling on earth. 9. Through you the all-evil spirit (is) a liar, and through you (are) wrath and trials 10. on the generations of men who live impiously. For the Eternal, Mighty One did not allow the bodies of the righteous to be in your hand, so through them the 11. righteous life is affirmed and the destruction of ungodliness. Hear, counselor, be 12. shamed by me! You have no permission to tempt all the righteous. Depart from 13. this man! You cannot deceive him, because he is the enemy of you and of those 14. who follow you and who love what you wish. For behold, the garment which is heaven was formerly yours has been set aside for him, and the corruption which was on him has gone over to you. Chapter 14 1. And the angel said to me, Abraham! And I said, Here I am, your 2. servant. And he said, Know from this that the Eternal One whom you have 3. loved has chosen you. Be bold and do through your authority whatever I order 4. you against him who reviles justice. Will I not be able to revile him who has scattered about the earth the secrets of heaven and who has taken counsel against 5. the Mighty One? Say to him, ‘May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the 6. earth! Go, Azazel, into the untrodden parts of the earth. For your heritage is over those who are with you, with the stars and with the men born by the clouds, 7. whose portion you are, indeed they exist through your being. Enmity is for you 8. a pious act. Therefore through your own destruction be gone from me!’ 9. And I said the words as the angel had taught me. And he said, Abraham. And I 10. said, Here I am, your servant! And the angel said to me, Answer him not! 11.(12.) And he spoke to me a second time. And the angel said, Now, whatever he says to you, answer him not, lest his will run up to you. For the Eternal, Mighty 14. One gave him the gravity and the will. Answer him not. And I did what the angel had commanded me. And whatever he said to me about the descent, I answered him not
