PART 6
In conclusion
There are many well-intent and sincere Christians, however sincerely deceived about this subject matter. They have a hard time with the obvious meaning of
Genesis 6 for a variety of reasons. Notwithstanding, in seeking to clear the minds of these people and remove the confusion, we
use scripture only, and not unreliable sources of information, legends, etc. Why? Ancient myths are full of stories of gods descending to earth to mate with humans, found in many sources, such as the Norse and Greek mythology. Some of these myths have Adams children living to be 43,000 years old. Therefore these accounts DIRECTLEY CONTRADICT THE SCRIPTURES, and are unreliable. Why? Answer; men are LIARS and they LOVE LIES. So much so, that the history of the Nephilim, of which the actual roots are Luciferian, were transferred into the
World FANTASY Tabloid Book of Enoch around the 14th century
. Another red flag of warning is that most of the world believes this ridiculous myth.
The correct approach is to show thy self approved is to begin with the bible,
study in the scriptures, and end with the bible, and listen for confirmation form the Holy Spirit of Truth, thus proving all things.
Why the lust for such fascination and George Noory Coast to Coast midnight ghost stories, UHOs and Nephilim Reptilian creatures. If the world is into it; can it be of God? One has to ask; why Christians are so curious and interested in them? Answer;
there is no sobriety within Christianity today, they will drink any of the world’s ilk and say, "that's good stuff". Thinking it is a fine wine of doctrine, even an aged merlot. All the while not knowing that it is a cheap Muscatel or Ripple. Or as Fred Sanford said “Champipple”… They are drunk on the cheap wine of false doctrine and traditions of men and their pagan philosophy’s. Jesus said; once they drink straightway {gulp it down without discernment} of the old wine {traditions of men} they say the old is better. {They prefer the fascination of false doctrine}. However, the word of God has the power to destroy the imaginary mythology of drunken men. Yes the truth is stranger than fiction, and much more filling too.
The earth and all that inhabitants therein
were not all destroyed in the flood because of a cohabitation of angels and men, hybrids. Scripture says it was destroyed because the
"wickedness of MAN was great". That declaration alone should put to rest the myth of any angelic Nephilim beings as the cause.
The genealogies in the text have different abridgements, such as the terms
son of and
begotten. The genealogies are often used to trace the ancestry of an individual back to some important person in past history. Such as Jesus Christ the son of David the son of Abraham, in
Matthew ch. 1. It reveals the kingship line of Jesus earthly step father Joseph, which entitled Jesus to lawfully be the king of Israel, even though He was not a descendant of all those listed after King David within that genealogy of
Matt 1. However,
Luke 3 gives Jesus direct genealogy all the way back to
Adam the son of God.
The Genealogy of Jesus | Learn The Bible
The OT genealogies often omit some generations. Example: the genealogy of Aaron in
Ezra 7:1-5 omits 6 names that are given in
1 Chronicles 6:3-14. Ezra uses the word son to mean grandson or descendant. In the account given in Genesis, it brings together a group of somewhat nonrelated occurrences however if examined closely through the genealogy it links the transition from Adam to the story of Noah and is very much so all tied together and related in both genealogy and purpose.
These are direct descendants, in that they are
begat, and also
Luke 3 teaches us they were spiritual descendants as well, in terms of "son of" in verse 36-38. In other words; all of the first 10 patriarchs were begotten physically in their genealogies and chosen by God spiritually because of their righteous ways and obedience to God. "IE"
sons of God. Therefore
genealogies in many cases in the text are a registration of names forming either a spiritual or physical connection, or in some cases both. The genealogies in the OT are not necessarily used in the same sense of a modern family tree genealogy where each person in a line is listed, although at times it can be. But it was in some cases a method of the ancient genealogies to list
memorable people and omits others in the family line. We need not think that the genealogy's purpose is to represent every generation, as our modern day family trees attempt to do., however these modern family trees can only go back a few hundred years at best.
Luke 3-38 tells us Adam was a son of God. Yet people say there were no sons of God in the OT. It is simply one of several ways that God references His people in the text. These genealogies also support the truth that God intended for them to be fruitful in spirit such that His people should continue to multiply and fill the earth
(Gen 1.28). There is an insertion at the end of
Gen 4 whereas Seth's family concludes with the righteous attribute: "At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord," which demonstrates the spirituality of their seed line. Thus having seen the murderous ways of Cain, it may have heightened their awareness of the need for total dependence on the Lord.
At the conclusion of chapter 5 there is a spiritual thread of hope in the birth of Noah. He becomes the dominant spiritual force (a preacher of righteousness) in the next part of the story. As Noah
walked with God, he found grace in the Lords eyes. God did not begin the flood until Noah's grandfather Methuselah (longsuffering) had died. Also Noah’s father had already passed away some years before Methuselah. Therefore leaving Noah, the only remnant. Adam actually lived to see 9 of the 10 generations born. The narrow way of righteousness had dwindled down to only Noah who was perfect in his physical genealogies as well as his spiritual appointment. "And Noah
walked with God" (sons of God). Only Gods children walk with Him, nothing else, and His children are sons and daughters. How easy is that to reason? That is much more logical than calling
rebel angels who had already fallen some 1500 years prior,
sons of God.
Therefore the phrase
son of God does not have to apply to angels only. To suggest it so, is being presumption without evidence. How many times must the Lord refer to His people under the O.T. as
His sons or children to prove this truth
(Exodus 4:22-23; Deut. 14:1; 32:19; Psalms 82:6-7; Isaiah 1:2; 45:11; 43:6; 63:16; Jeremiah 31:9; Hosea 11:1)?
The separation between Cain and the Generations of Adam (Gen 4 & 5)
Nephal
Gen 4-6, & 6-4 “to fall,” one who "has fallen". Do to the apostate character of these people; their fallen condition progressed into a violent sort of men who assaulted others.
Gen. 6-4 speaks of this fallen condition in the plural "nephel", a plethora's of heathens upon the earth killing each other. The warning in
Gen. 9:4-6 bears record of this murderous pre-flood condition that existed in Gen 6.
Now what did Jesus himself say about this historic flood event? In
Luke 17 & 21, they were "marrying and giving in marriage", Oh, and angels don't marry
(Matt. 22-30).
Simply meaning, that they were proceeding on with the foolish cares of this world, being overcharged with drunkenness, and parties.
"Surfeiting" etc.>thus they knew not and the flood came and took them away. Jesus mentioned
NOTHING about the cause being any angelic beings. But rather the cause was the foolishness of man’s endeavors. How could Jesus have possibly overlooked the Nephilim account? Answer,
He didn't, because it is a made up fairy-tale.
Matthew 24:38-39 For as in the days before the flood, they did eat and drink, marry, and give in marriage, unto the day that Noah entered into the Ark, and knew nothing, till the flood came, and took them all away,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {Here Jesus clearly states, and warns us, that the same type of foolishness and sinful living will be the demise of this earth and all that exists therein,
2 Peter 3, just as it was in the example given in Genesis 6}
Cain, who was not included in the generations of Adam, had curses visited upon the 3rd & 4th generations etc. He gave rise to a line of people both in the flesh and in the spirit that was even more murderous than Cain himself. Lamech seemingly threatened his wives by telling them that he murdered a man and an adolescent, along with the possibility of another 10 persons. Lamech said to his
wives, Genesis 4- 23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. You wives of Lamech, Give heed to my speech. For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me; If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.
Lamech was a man of colossal anger (a giant) and revenge in addition to his polygamous lifestyle.
Important note;
Gen 6-2 says they
"took them WIVES". This wording in the text highly implies they began practicing polygamy with unbelievers, liken to Cain's
great, great grandson, Lamech.
One might ask the question of this fable. If the “sons of God” were in fact angels, how did the world wide flood serve as a judgment upon them? Can angels drown?
