- Eʹnoch lived for 65 years and then became father to Me·thuʹse·lah. After becoming father to Me·thuʹse·lah, Eʹnoch continued to walk with the true God for 300 years. And he became father to sons and daughters. So all the days of Eʹnoch amounted to 365 years. Eʹnoch kept walking with the true God. Then he was no more, for God took him.
- Enoch was faithful to God!
- The angels who went down and got married with women were not faithful to God!
- On the contrary!
- They became demons!

- First, in Genesis 6:1, we are told about men and daughters of men!
- Then, in Genesis 6:2, we are told about the sons of God who look at the daughters of men and they are beautiful!
- Thus, you have two categories: men and the sons of God!
- And it’s only when men are many on the earth that these sons of men start to look at their daughters and realize that they are beautiful!
- Men and women have always been attracted by the other gender, they didn’t need to wait till they get numerous!

- Men didn’t wait to do that, they did it before!
- As a consequence, in Genesis 6:3, we are told that God will not tolerate man indefinitely!
- And Why? Because the sons of God took the daughters of men as wives!
- And then in Genesis 6:4, we are told about the Nephilim and at the same time about the sons of God who are having relations with the daughters of men who have children, the Nephilim. And these Nephilim were the mighty ones of old times, the men of fame!
- Then, in Genesis 6:5, as a consequence of the sons of God having children with women and the result the Nephilim, the situation gets really bad so that God decides to destroy humanity except Noah!
- When you look at human history, we get wars and wars, violence everywhere!
- If the flood occurred because of man, God could have destroyed humanity many times but he did once because of the sons of God!
- Then in the first part of the Bible, the expression “sons of God” is only mentioned 5 times!
- 2 times in Genesis 6:2 and Genesis 6:4!
- Then in Job1:6, Job 2:1 and Job 38:7!
- Job 1:6: Now the day came when the sons of the true God entered to take their station before God, and Satan also entered among them!

- Job 38:7: When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause?
- In these 3 verses of Job, it is not said angels but sons of God and they are angels!
- Now when angels are sent by God to men (Agar - Genesis 16:7,9,10,11 – 21:17 – Lot – Genesis 19:1, 15 – Abraham Genesis 22:15 – Jacob Genesis 28:12 – 32:1), the expression is “malak” or messenger meaning angel!
- Then, in Genesis 6:2, we are told about the sons of God who look at the daughters of men and they are beautiful!

The word "angel" is in the Book of Job. Why doesn't it read "sons of God" there as well? Because things that are different are not the same. Angels have never been "sons of God". Tell me this: if 3 angels were "sons of God" then one of them would be a "son of God". Is that the truth or is it not? So then.........
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

Here is is again.....
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
So If the Holy Spirit inspired the above to be written. Then why inspire "angels" to be written as "sons of God" in other places? God is not the author of confusion. However the Bible DOES define exactly what "sons of God" are in the following verses: John 1:12, Philippians 2:15, 1 John 3:1, and 1 John 3:2. That's in the King James. I don't know what the other versions say.

- When it says messenger(s), it is when angels are in contact with men!

For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”? And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”? But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”

Hold that thought a sec.......
Gen 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Here they've already made the "contact", had the wedding with the daughter, and have now moved on procreation....but it's still calling them "sons of God"? Not "messengers" I mean...they should already be demons by then, right?
