Are the Watchers in Daniel chapter 4 verse 13 the same Watchers in The Book of Enoch?

Before answering this question, I offer a brief warning concerning taking too much from other books. This scripture is often used to express the opionions that a group of angles are in heaven making decisions concerning the life of man and the judgements of God. This is an error and it leads men to worship angels rather than God. Be very careful with this subject.

Personally, I believe that the Watch first mentions in verse 13 is but The Angle of the Lord or the pre-incar. Christ. I believe that when the Watchers are mention in plural, the Scripture is refering to the Triniity. Thus the decisions concerning Nebuchadnezzar and his kingdom and his life are being made solely by the Godhead. The angels merely deliver the message and decisions as determined by God. They have no part in deciding the course of mankind on this earth.

Now to answer your question.

Belief that the Watchers in Daniel are the same as those recorded in the fictional accounts of Enoch is indeed the assumption of many religious followers.

13. watcher and an holy one--rather, "even an holy one." Only one angel is intended, and he not one of the bad, but of the holy angels. Called a "watcher," because ever on the watch to execute God's will [JEROME], ( Psalms 103:20 Psalms 103:21 ). Compare as to their watchfulness, Revelation 4:8 , "full of eyes within . . . they rest not day and night." Also they watch good men committed to their charge ( Psalms 34:7 , Hebrews 1:14 ); and watch over the evil to record their sins, and at God's bidding at last punish them ( Jeremiah 4:16 Jeremiah 4:17 ), "watchers" applied to human instruments of God's vengeance. As to GOD ( Daniel 9:14 , Job 7:12 , 14:16 , Jeremiah 44:27 ). In a good sense ( Genesis 31:49 , Jeremiah 31:28 ). The idea of heavenly "watchers" under the supreme God (called in the Zendavesta of the Persian Zoroaster, Ormuzd) was founded on the primeval revelation as to evil angels having watched for an opportunity until they succeeded in tempting man to his ruin, and good angels ministering to God's servants (as Jacob, Genesis 28:15 , Genesis 32:1 Genesis 32:2 ). Compare the watching over Abraham for good, and over Sodom for wrath after long watching in vain for good men it it, for whose sake He would spare it, Genesis 18:23-33 ; and over Lot for good, Genesis 19:1-38 Daniel fitly puts in Nebuchadnezzar's mouth the expression, though not found elsewhere in Scripture, yet substantially sanctioned by it ( 2 Chronicles 16:9 , Proverbs 15:3 , Jeremiah 32:19 ), and natural to him according to Oriental modes of thought.
