- 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!
- It’s the same in a small village!
- It’s the same with animals, it has always been so!
- These daughters were born to men, not to the sons of God!
- First, they see the daughters of men and they realize they are beautiful and then they take them as wives!
- 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 2:1: Afterward the day came when the sons of the true God entered to take their station before God, and Satan also entered among them to take his station before God!
- 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!
