Fallen Angels, Origins of Women’s Adornment, and Head Covering

Did you know that fallen angels—specifically Azazel, one of Lucifer’s chief leaders of the revolt against God—first taught human women about makeup, ornaments, and jewelry? Azazel is the head of the angels who plotted against the Lord, impregnated the daughters of men, and introduced humans to forbidden knowledge. What does God think about women using makeup, jewelry, and wearing trousers? Does the bible speak on these things?

“And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.” 1 Enoch 8:1-2

If you would like to do more study on the topic of makeup, adornment, jewelry, women’s trousers, and head-covering from the scriptures, church history, and early church fathers the topic of women’s adornment, this article will provide a lot of resources and scriptures to do more study on this topic.

In 2023, when the Lord was teaching me about this topic, I did a lot of study and research. I did not just depend on people’s visions and revelations because that is not enough of a defense of truth, but I studied all the scriptures I could find on the topic and also studied lots of materials on what the early church fathers taught and what the early church practiced and believed on these matters.

I have also listened to countless sermons on the subject from preachers of old to understand God’s heart on this matter, and this is what personally convinced me to change the way I was dressing and to stop using makeup, jewelry, and all artificial items of beauty, and also to stop wearing trousers because, from my research, I learned that trousers were originally only made for men. The design itself with the opening at the front was for male functionality purposes (urination).

Makeup and jewelry: Fallen angel origins

In the Book of Enoch, we learn that it is fallen angels who taught women the art of make-up specifically the angel Azâzêl.

Below is a quote from Tertullian, an early church father (160 AD-240 AD) on this matter:

“But, if the self-same angels who disclosed both the material substances of this kind and their charms — of gold, I mean, and lustrous stones — and taught men how to work them, and by and by instructed them, among their other (instructions), in (the virtues of) eyelid-powder and the dyeings of fleeces, have been condemned by God, as Enoch tells us, how shall we please God while we joy in the things of those (angels) who, on these accounts, have provoked the anger and the vengeance of God? ” Tertullian On the Apparel of Women 2.10

Makeup is a falsehood and deception

Makeup is a falsehood, and just the idea of it is all about changing what God created or trying to enhance it, which is a slap in God’s face. God gave us hairs, nails, and body features that reflect his glory. When we try to change them, we tell God that what he made was not good enough. God made man in his image and said all his works were good. He does not need any correction.

What is added to the image of God to enhance or make it more beautiful supposedly, is the image of Satan, the father of all lies. Nature itself is not guilty of this, and animals never try to change themselves or enhance themselves. Even these products themselves are rightly called fake hair, fake lashes, fake nails, and makeup, betraying their nature. What is made up is not original. The author of all falsehood and lies is Satan.

As redeemed women, we cannot participate in these things once we know the truth, and this truth is in the scriptures, both old and new, in various forms. In 1 Peter 3:1-4, and 1 Timothy 2:9-10, it is clearly laid out, and all over the Old Testament, God has made his heart known about these things. But because women love to argue about this topic, it is good to also learn the origins of these things. Not everything needs to be spelled out for us in scripture like children. God expects us to study his entire word and be able to discern from the entire counsel of scripture what is pleasing or displeasing to him.

Jewelry and idolatry

The matter of jewelry is also connected to idolatry. God, as far back as Exodus, asked the Israelites to put away their ornaments before he could deal with them as they were stiff-necked (Exodus 33:4-6). Jacob asked his family to put away their earrings and foreign gods before they went to worship God at Bethel (Genesis 35:1-4). We also see that the children of Israel asked Aaron to make them golden calf and he used their gold earrings (worn by both men and women) to make this idol (Exodus 32:1-4). Apostles Paul and Peter repeated this warning against jewelry in the New Testament (1 Peter 3:1-4, 1 Timothy 2:9-10)

Women’s trousers and pants

“However, for much of modern history, the use of trousers has been restricted to men. This norm was enforced in many regions due to social customs and laws. There are, however, many historical cases of women wearing trousers in defiance of these norms such as the 1850s women rights movement, comfort, freedom of movement, fashion, disguise (notably for runaway slaves^[2]), attempts to evade the gender pay gap, and attempts to establish an empowered public identity for women.” Quote from Wikipedia, Trousers as women’s clothing

There was no idea about women’s trousers until around the 1850s when the women’s rights movements and dress-reform movements began in rebellion against social norms and cultures. Before that, in much of the world, women wore dresses and skirts to distinguish them from men, and they were content with it. The symbols in public restrooms until now display gender differences, with men in pants and women in dresses. Harlots and rebellious women throughout history are the ones who wore trousers but faced open criticism for cross-dressing because they were rebellious women. Few women in the arts also wore trousers in theatre plays to act as men (but Christians stayed away from such arts and activities completely and considered them falsehoods). Acting was considered a profession not for Christians because it was deemed falsehood.

God desires distinction among the sexes even in dress

The issue of the sexes being distinct and separate, even in dress, goes back to creation, where God made them male and female and wanted their natures distinct and clear, perpetually to bring him honor, and also to display the clear difference in authority between men (head) and women (helper) which was ordained by God himself. When men and women dress alike these lines are blurred. This was so serious that cross-dressing is considered an abomination in scripture (Deuteronomy 22:5).

When the sexes start getting mixed up, the gender authority structure in society, church, and home, as God ordained it, gets destroyed, and the result is the breakdown and chaos we can now see in gender (LGBTQ+ movement), families, and society with women wanting to be equal to men in all respects.

The increase in adornment, makeup, and fake beauty products is a sign of the last days

Jesus warned that in the last days, the love of many would grow cold (Matthew 24:12) and the great falling away from the faith would happen (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3). I am convinced that the issue of women’s dressing, adornment, and head covering (1 Corinthians 11) is not being taught in much of the body of Christ anymore because the church at large has become lukewarm and worldly, unlike the church of the centuries past. Jesus told us this would happen in the last days. Also, we have an adversary working hard to send as many as he can to hell because he knows that his time is short.

I ask you to go through the scriptures and links below for yourself prayerfully. After all, we all shall give account to the Lord for what we believe and what we do, based on his word only. Jesus said, “If you love me keep my commands.” (John 14:15); “For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” (Matthew 5:18)

Have you given your life to Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior? He loves us so much that he, our creator, left heaven and came to earth, died for us on the cross taking our sins upon him so that we may be forgiven and receive his righteousness. He conquered death by rising from the dead and made a way for us who were dead in sin to be reconciled back to the Father (God). What’s more, he has prepared a wonderful home for us in heaven, where those who love him and obey him will spend eternity with him.
