אֱלֹהִים “Elohim” is also the Hebrew spelling for gods, i.e. angels of the heavenly council.
אֱלֹהִיםʼĕlôhîym, el-o-heem'; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:—angels, × exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), × (very) great, judges, × mighty.
Genesis 3:1-5 (KJV)
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, (אֱלֹהִים) knowing good and evil.
Genesis 6:2-4
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
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.
This appears to be the fallen angels, also described as “elohim,” that took human form before the flood and fathered giants known as Nephilim. To me, it also appears that “Lucifer” was one of these. They brought knowledge to the populous of the world that only angels and God Himself should have known which were “off limits” to human kind. The nature of the Nephilim is complicated by the ambiguity of Genesis 6:4, which leaves it unclear whether they are the "sons of God" or their offspring who are the "mighty men of old, men of renown". Richard Hess in The Anchor Bible Dictionary takes it to mean that the Nephilim are the offspring.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty (אֵל ʼêl,); he judgeth among the gods (אֱלֹהִים). How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. (Psalm 82:1-2 KJV)
In my opinion (the second sentence verse 2) God Almighty is questioning the council of fallen angles.
Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods (elohim אֱלֹהִים): I am the Lord your God. (Leviticus 19:4 KJV)
Many preachers and teachers rarely teach these things. What say you?
