Sons of God Marrying Daughters of Men
Genesis
6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born unto them, 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.
Story/History Explained in my own words:
Human beings
was increasing on the face of earth. The daughters born to man was very
beautiful in those days. Angels(sons of God) which is also known as
watcher angels or guardian angels fall in love with the daughters of
men. A group such angels decided to leave their position as an angel of
God because of their free will and left heaven and heavenly glory and
came to earth to marry the daughters of men. They are mentioned in bible
later as fallen angels.
When the left heaven, they
also lost their angelic body and they transformed to a body like that of
human being. (I don't know now if they were able to shift their bodies
to human and angelic body according to their wish). Then they married
the daughters of men and made sexual relationship with them. The
daughters of men became pregnant by the angels of God and gave birth to a
new kind of human beings called 'Giants'.
Giants had
comparatively larger, mighty, skilled and intelligent than normal human
beings. They have great knowledge about heaven, herbs, earth, secrets of
earth, etc by the knowledge they received from their fathers, angels.
Even though initially things were going smooth, later they became a
threat to the pure human beings remained on the face of earth because of
their evil acts. Thus God destroyed all the giants and human beings,
except Noah and family by the flood and made the first group of fallen
angels prisoners.
After a while when again human beings
increased on the face of earth, Then the second group of angels fall in
love with the daughters of men again and produced giants again on the
face of earth. These giants are later destroyed by God by the Israelis
after calling them out of the land of Egypt. The second set of fallen
angels were also imprisoned by God then.
Angels are sons of God:
It is clear from bible that angels are also known as sons of God. The
term is found only five times in the O.T and every time it is used of
angels.
1. Gen.6:1, 4(Current topic)
2. Job 1:6 sons of God came
to present themselves before the Lord. (If the sons of God, angels have
to come to present themselves before the Lord, they will not be angels
who are in the presence of God. Satan is in the face of earth since he
is fallen and is also mentioned in Job 1:7 & 2: 2. If Satan have to
come with sons of God, those sons of God, angels are also coming from
Earth. , Job 2:1 Sons of God came to present themselves before the
Lord.)
3. Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together and all the
sons of God shouted for joy. (Literally, when the Cherubims sang
together and all the angels shouted for joy.)
4. Dan. 3: 25, 28: and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. ; 28 who has sent his angel.
5.
We can also see something so much connected to these angels in the
epistle of Peter and Jude. 2 Pet.2:4-5: For if God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains
of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement; 5 and spread not the old
world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness,
bringing, in the flood upon the world of ungodly;
6. Jude 6: And the
angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the
judgement of the great day. (We can see that Jude compare the sin of
these angels as that of the sins of people of Sodom and Gomorrha and it
is clear that their sin is fornication. That means the sins of angels
are also fornication.)
Sons of God are not human beings or holy men of God
1.
Seth did not have a son until 235 years after creation, and his son did
not have a son until 325 years after creation(Gen 5:3, 6, 9) Where did
these sons came from? They could not have been sons of Seth, for these
marriages took place when men began to multiply in the very beginning of
the race before Seth had sons of marriageable age. The term sons of God
proves that they were the product of God, not of Seth. They were the
fallen angels of 1Pet.3:19; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6-7
2. If sons of God
were ordinary men as daughters of men, it is naturally impossible to
produce giants for a crossing of godly men and ungodly women cannot
produce their offsprings as giants.
Fallen Angels Before and After Flood:
Clearly there are two sets of fallen angels. Gen. 6:4 is a clear
written evidence for that which says, ‘There were giants in the earth in
those days; and also after that, when the sons of God’
It’s
clear from bible that all living creatures except Noah and family is
wiped out from the surface of the earth which literally means all giants
are dead by the flood at the time of Noah. But we can still see giants
after the flood. The possibility of a giant’s seed to remain in Noah’s
family or the possibility for some giants to survive from the flood is
null for the giants to come again of the face of earth after flood. And
it makes it clear that there will be another set of fallen angels after
that.
These second set of fallen angels again married daughters
of men(from a generation of Noah’s offsprings) and thus the next set of
giants started to born on the surface of the earth, who occupied the
land of Canaan and nearby lands in advance of Abraham.
Giants
were Sons of Sons of God: Gen. 6:4 makes it very clear and answer the
question where do giants came from. When the sons of God married the
daughters of men as before the flood, giants were again born to them.
1.
The fact that giants, or beings of abnormal size in body, have lived
on earth is one of the most clearly stated truths in scripture. The Heb.
nephil means giant, bully or tyrant (Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33). That there
were abnormal in bodily size is clear from the fact that men of
Israel(normal human beings) were as grasshoppers in size compared to
them. (Num.13:33).
The Anakims were a people great and tall in
body (Dt. 1:28; 2:10, 11, 21; 9:2; Josh.11:21,22; 14:12-14). Anak
himself was of the giants and if he and all Anakims were so big, we can
be assured the other giants were also. (Num.13:22,33)
Ammon was the land of giants, for giants dwelled there in old time. (Dt. 2: 19,20)
The Emims were also great, many and tall as the Anakims. They dwelled in the land of Ammon from the old.(Dt. 2:19-21)
Og,
the king of Bashan is described a a giant whose iron bed-stead was
about 18.5 feet long and 8 feet wide. (Dt.3:11, Josh.12:4, 13:12).
Repahim:
All these giant nations came from a union of the songs of God and
daughters of men after the flood. Beings of great stature, some of them
even had 6 fingers and 6 toes on each foot and carried spears weighing
from 10 to 25 lbs (2.Sam.21:16-22; 1 Chr. 20:4-8). Goliath whom David
killed wore a coat of armor weighing from 10 to 25 lbs. and was about 13
feet tall.(1 Sam.17:4-6)
By the size of bed-stead of Og and
Goliath’s height we can image that the approximate size of giants varied
from 13 to 18 feet, which are about 3 to 4 times the size of human
beings. In some books it was written that the giants among giants used
to be of height up to 30 feet.
These are all the best
information that can be fetched from the books included in the bible.
For better information about the incident and its details, you can read
the Book of Enoch which is also a book from which few verses in bible
have been quoted and a very good book in my personal opinion. Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 of Book of Enoch can tell you the detailed story of fallen angels and giants.
