What Were The Days of Jared

 Here's a breakdown of what "the days of Jared" refers to:

Fallen Angels - Days of Jared

🔹 In the Bible (Genesis 5:15–20):

Jared was the father of Enoch. According to Genesis:

He lived 962 years.

His name means something like "descent" or "shall come down."

But that's all Genesis gives us — a name in a lineage.

🔹 In the Book of Enoch (especially 1 Enoch 6–10):

This is where “the days of Jared” gets deeper.

“And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them…” — 1 Enoch 6:1-2

"The days of Jared" were believed to be the time when the Watchers (fallen angels) descended from heaven onto Mount Hermon to take human wives and teach forbidden knowledge to mankind.

So in Enoch:

The name Jared (Yered / ירד) plays off “yarad” in Hebrew, meaning “to descend.”

This isn't just about angels falling from grace — it’s the origin point for much of the evil and corruption on earth leading to the Flood.

His era becomes a symbolic time of the fall — not of man, but of divine beings rebelling.

🔹 Symbolically?

Jared’s generation marks the intersection of divine and human rebellion.

It becomes the “before times” — a sort of antediluvian golden age corrupted by angelic meddling.

Jared = the pivot point before Enoch starts walking with God and before Noah is called to reset the world.

🌀 Extra Note (if you're into deeper symbolism):

In the Book of Jubilees (another apocryphal text), it also says that in Jared's days the angels of the Lord who were called Watchers came down to earth to teach the children of men and led them astray. The Nephilim (giants) were born from this union.

So “the days of Jared” are sort of a biblical twilight zone — the time when spiritual rebellion broke into the human world, setting up the events that would lead to divine judgement.
