Kasbeel

Kasbeel (Hebrew: כַּשְׂבְּאֵל), whose name means 'Oath of God', 'Covering of God', 'Conjuror of God', 'The Deceiver of God/'God has deceived', or 'False Counsel of God', is an angel given the responsibility of two oaths in the second section of the Book of Enoch, the book of "Parables".

Before the 200 Watchers fell, their future rebellion was known within the divine foreknowledge, and a mechanism was needed to formally enact this judgment and reveal it. Kasbeel is given a task related to this knowledge; He then approached archangel Michael, the supreme archangel and guardian of Israel. Kasbeel states that to properly carry out his duty regarding the binding of the Watchers, he argues that he must swear the most binding oath, which requires invoking the secret name of the Supreme God. He asks assistance from Michael in the form of revealing to him the secret name (or the secret pronunciation) so that he may swear by it.

With the secret name in his possession, Kasbeel creates and formulates the Oath "Biqa." This oath legally and metaphysically binds them to the rebellious path that was already in their hearts, compelling and leading them to their eventual fate; this ensures it happens and that they are fully accountable for it. This oath revealed the angels within the collection of Grigori that were to fall, that showed all the secrets of the heavens to man.

Kasbeel then uses a second, related oath known as "Akae". He places this oath "in the hand of Michael", granting Michael control of its enforcement. This oath revealed "all the secret things which were done in heaven to the sons of men"; This is the act of the Watchers teaching humanity the "secrets of the cycles of the earth" (astrology), metallurgy, and magic, among others.[1]

And the fifth (Angel) was named Kasdeja: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, (Rothchild) (Lady DI) that it may pass away, and [the smitings of the soul] the bites of the serpent, and the smitings which befall through the noontide heat, the son of the serpent named Tabaet. And this is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Biqa. This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of Michael. And these are the secrets of this oath . . . And they are strong through his oath: And the heaven was suspended before the world was created, And for ever. And through it the earth was founded upon the water, And from the secret recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters, From the creation of the world and unto eternity. And through that oath the sea was created, And as its foundation He set for it the sand against the time of (its) anger, And it dare not pass beyond it from the creation of the world unto eternity. And through that oath are the depths made fast, And abide and stir not from their place from eternity to eternity. And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course, And deviate not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.
