A Strange passage, Who Were The Sons of God in Genesis Six? | Genesis 6:1-4

today on hot topics a quick word about the nephilim because there's plenty of long videos about the nephilim hi this is robert furrow welcome to hot topics we're really glad that you found us if you're new here consider subscribing and ringing the bell so you can get all of our new content the comment section is open below and we would love to hear from you in genesis chapter 6 verses 1 through 4 we find this strange account of the sons of god seeing the daughters of men that they are beautiful and marrying them making their homes with them taking them as wives and then producing as offspring the nephilim who are called mighty men what is this all about it's a strange account that's been the center of controversy over the years there are two different main ideas as to what this could be there are other interpretations but these are the two main ones one that the sons of god are angels fallen angels who see the daughters of men that they're beautiful and they make their homes with them and they have children by them and those children are the nephilim now that's a strange idea i know but there are a lot of strange things in the bible there are a lot of strange things in our world just because something is strange doesn't make it not true the second is that the men of the ungodly line of cain saw the daughters of the godly line of seth that they were beautiful and took them as wives and somehow these giants are these mighty men came from the union of those two it is true that cain went out and lived in cities and we don't see them seeking god but when you look at the lineage from seth that you see them seeking god so it is possible that this is what genesis chapter 4 was talking about now we also get some help from different passages in the bible first of all that these sons of god were angels in job 1 6 and in job 2 1 sons of god are called angels that the sons of god were numbered before god and lucifer was numbered among them we even have a lucifer here being called a son of god and then in job 38 6-7 it says where were you when the foundations of the world were laid and all the morning stars sung together and the sons of god shouted for joy here we have the sons of god being created before the world was when jesus was asked a question as to whether or not there would be marriage in heaven he said that we would be like the angels of heaven who do not marry and so many have said that it cannot be the sons of god but we don't know that there's a lot about angels that we do not know we know that we are able to marry now but when we get up into heaven we are not going to be married we don't know enough about the angels to be able to be dogmatic about it we know that in the bible angels take human form we also know that demons can possess people were these sons of god angels who took human form and then took wives from the daughters of men were they demons that possessed men and then took wives of the sons of men and somehow produced this nephilim as offspring the other theory is that the sons of god were the ungodly line of cain looking at the godly line of seth and the daughters that were born to them and taking them as wives and marrying them and we see that there is two different lineages earlier in the book of genesis and that they are not intermarrying so it is possible that this is what is being talked about but there's a few things that bring up questions like all of them were sinful we do know that seth was seeking god and cain's descendants were not but they all had the sin nature and also if that's the case where do the nephilim come from look at what the bible has to say about the nephilim in numbers 1333 when the children of israel were spying out the land of canaan they came with a bad report and here's what they said there we saw giants the son of anak from the giants literally it says nephilim there we saw the nephilim the descendants of anak came from the giants and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight and so we were in their sight so they're talking about the nephilim and the nephilim being giants so the controversy as to whether or not nephilim were mighty men or they were giants seems to be answered when they call these giants in the land of canaan nephilim and then in ezekiel 32 27 speaking of these nephilim again it says that they were warriors it says they do not lie with the mighty who are fallen that word fallen is nephilim of the uncircumcised who have gone down to hell with their weapons of war they have laid their weapons under their heads but their iniquities will be on their bones because of the terror of the mighty in the land of the living so here it seems that these nephilim were warriors that terrorized the land of the living this can give us some help there are some new testament passages that are interesting as well in jude chapter 6 it says and the angels who did not keep their proper domain but left their abode remember the sons of god make their homes with the daughters of men he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day so it would seem that there are angels who get out of line and that god puts them in prison and reserves them for judgment until the great day that right now demons are allowed to roam the earth but if they go too far that god locks them up in the same thought is first peter 3 19-20 but whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who formerly were disobedient when once the divine long-suffering waited in the days of noah so that in the days of noah there were spirits who were disobedient if that's not genesis 6 1-4 i don't know what it would be then it says while the ark was being prepared in which a few that is eight souls were saved through the water and then we have second peter 2 4-6 for if god did not spare angels who sinned but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment and did not spare the ancient world but saved noah one out of eight people a preacher of righteousness so again talking about those days of noah we have spirits that didn't keep their proper place and were kept in chains both of these theories are very old the idea that the sons of god are angels is older than the idea that it's the descendants of cain but the idea that the sons of god are the descendants of cain go back all of the way before to the time of christ but it's clear to us that the idea that they were angels goes back much further now i don't know which one of these is true i don't know that anybody can be certain i lean towards it being angels as strange as that sounds but i know this that if angels do not keep their proper place god is going to lock them up and you and i have been given power over the enemy jesus said behold i give you power to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing will by any means hurt you what a great promise for us if
