Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he
is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore
children to them. Those
were the mighty men who
were of old, men of renown.
The text plainly says the children of the fallen angels and human women are the Nephilim. They were endowed with massive size and power. I believe the Greek Legends derive from these guys. Although I am not saying all that the Greek Legends say is accurate.
But it does mention
"AND ALSO AFTWERWARD"...
So what comes also afterward? The text says the Giants, or Nephilim come after. After what? The flood.
Does this mean MORE fallen angels mate with women after the flood? I don't think so. Seems very unlikely, although possible. It appears not ALL the angels that fell with Satan committed this sin that Jude and Peter talk about. But they would have seen the immediate, incredibly harsh judgement, and place where those that did are kept. Tartarus!
The word is used only ONE time in Scripture, and in most translations is usually rendered as "hell". It's unfortunate because this confuses people. Most of the western world think of hell as the lake of fire. That word is Gehenna in the NT.
2 Peter 2:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast
them down to hell (TARTARUS) and delivered
them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;
So what do we know about "Tartarus"? Really not too much. This from Wikipedia of all places:
In
Greek mythology,
Tartarus (
/ˈtɑːrtərəs/;
Ancient Greek: Τάρταρος,
Tártaros)
[1] is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the
Titans. Tartarus is the place where, according to
Plato's
Gorgias (c. 400 BC),
souls are judged after death and where the wicked received divine punishment. Tartarus is also considered to be a primordial force or deity alongside entities such as the
Earth,
Night, and
Time.
This definition is not totally accurate. There is no Biblical proof that any humans went to Tartarus, Tartarus is not Hades/Sheol, but it's does paint an awful picture of where these particular fallen angels currently are.
The point is, the rest of the angels wouldn't want any part of that place.
Matthew 24: 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Why did God utterly destroy, and wipe clean the entire world He created, and everything in it, save Noah, his family, and the selected animals aboard the Ark?
To answer this question we have to closely examine Genesis 6, the fallen angels that mated with human women, their progeny the Nephilim, and the proclamation 4 There were giants (Nephilim) on the earth in those days, AND ALSO AFTERWARD,..
So why do I believe this issue is so important? Because Jesus said in the end days things would be like in the days of Noah. I contend that we are living in the end days, and are doing the same things that that led God to destroy the world.
Matthew 24: 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved;
So first I'll lay out SOME of the vast Biblical proof that fallen angels DID mate with human women producing the Nephillim, hybrid race, the ALSO AFTERWARD, and the CORRUPTED flesh.
Then talk about how we are committing the same sin that they did.
But I will NOT be doing much, if any, debating with those that either can't, or won't accept the plain Biblical truth about fallen angels. That is not speculative. I will be doing some speculation, but that fact is not. If there are honest, skeptical questions fine. But otherwise I'd recommend just scrolling on by.
Genesis 6
17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein
is the breath of life, from under heaven;
and every thing that
is in the earth shall die.
18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep
them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every
sort shall come unto thee, to keep
them alive.
21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather
it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The Basic Races of Humanity
~ Caucasoid
~ Mongoloid
~ Negroid
~ Australoid
along with their various sub-races (as a result of biological interaction of people belonging to different races) that can be seen on Earth at present.
The evolution of different human races is as old as the evolution of humanity as theorized by Charles Darwin. According to recent researches in the field of anthropology regarding the origin of mankind, it has been suggested that the human race may be older than originally thought. The following four races are the chief distinct classifications of humans based upon genetics and anthropology. However, we can see many sub-races as a result of matrimonial and reproductive interaction between people belonging to different races.
My wife and I like you and your wife are white. We had 4 children all 4 were of the Caucasoid race they are white. There is no way that my wife and I could have a any thing but, if we had 4, 40, or 400 children the race would stay the same. The same is true for you and your wife. God says He is unchanging so how could Adam and Eve have had children of all 4 basic races. Here is what I thank God told Noah Genesis 6.20 Two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. This would include 2 of the other 3 races God created on the 6th day. In Genesis 2:5 and
there was not a man to till the ground.
6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7And the LORD God formed man
of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. So God created Adam after the 6th day creation. Then Genesis 2:21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23And Adam said, This
is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
