yeah i'm not surprised about this kind of reframing.
the losers of the war in heaven (aka titanomachy, war of the titans) spread across the world starting from the banks of the red sea, subjugating tribe after tribe and flipping every script they had. the good guys, the 2/3rds not fallen angels, had long before that sent out messengers for all kinds of reasons to help their fellow, less advanced humans progress. the fallen angels have done the reverse. and then jesus, siddhartha, and chuang showed up and threw sand in their gears, in preparation for the planned evac/abandonment - evac of the elect, and the righteous, and abandonment of the evil to the coming fire from the sun.
i could elaborate to some extent on what backs up that theory but i just prefer to say "Read The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya for a good starting point"
