A fallen prophet?

The leader of The Summit Lighthouse, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, have written two quasi-scholarly books. "The lost years of Jesus", about the supposed discoveries of Nicolas Notovitch in Tibet, could be of interest even to a general audience. I'm less sure about "Fallen angels and the origins of evil". The book is too narrow and conspiracist, and will mostly appeal to those sharing the author's paranoid worldview. This despite Prophet's attempts to sound like a Bible scholar.

"Fallen Angels" contains English translations of The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) and The Book of the Secrets of Enoch (2 Enoch or Slavonic Enoch). There are also excerpts from other apocryphal books. It's not always clear where the publisher got hold of this material. The Book of Enoch is translated by Richard Laurence, the other Enochian book by W.R. Morfill. The volume also contains a list of parallels between the Book of Enoch and the New Testament. Last but not least, we also get to read Prophet's own interpretations of the Enochian corpus.

Prophet correctly points out that the Book of Enoch must have enjoyed a kind of canonical status within early Christianity and certain strands of (so-called) Late Judaism. However, she gets off tangent when claiming that the startling revelations are...well, true. Apparently, Prophet has a conspiracy theory loosely based on 1 Enoch, according to which evil wasn't the result of Adam's fall. Rather, evil was introduced by fallen angels who incarnated as fake humans and mated with real human females. In this way, an alien bloodline was introduced in the human population. It remains to this day. The political and economic establishment which causes war, inflation and hedonistic mass culture consists of literal clones created by the original fallen angels. The Watchers (the name given the fallen angels in 1 Enoch) also killed Jesus. Prophet claims that many Biblical verses dealing with "the wicked", "the ungodly" or even "pagans" are really concealed references to the Watchers, and that Jesus often condemned them. For our edification, Prophet has included a list of proof-texts in which "Watchers" have been inserted instead of the original wording. The serpent seed is thereby revealed!

I think it's obvious that the fallen angels in Prophet's conception are really extraterrestrials, but in this book she doesn't mention the UFOs. A more sinister possibility also comes to mind: the Watchers and the Nephilim are really...the Jews. Prophet's conspiracy theory is similar to the Serpent Seed Theory of Christian Identity. The idea that Jews really are evil ETs seem to exist in a number of aberrant neo-Theosophical sects, including the Swedish Hylozoiks. And what about David Icke? Icke later recanted and turned "his" aliens into Aryan-reptilians (sic), but his early books did interest some pretty unsavoury characters. Note also that the Watchers in Prophet's scenario are identical with the Pharisees, including the Sanhedrin who sentenced Jesus to die. While the message of The Summit Lighthouse doesn't sound particularly anti-Semitic, the question of the origins of these ideas must at least be posed.

Who knows, perhaps Elizabeth Clare was a...fallen prophet.
