I
have discussed Genesis 6:4 (The [1] Nephilim were 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 were
the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.) until I have
gotten blue in the face.
I,
some years back, became so engrossed with understanding this verse
that I prayed over it after the Holy Spirit had shown me the truth of
it. Why? I needed to be able, not to explain it for anyone's
sake, but rather, I need the ability to send others seeking the truth
from the Holy Spirit. For this I was led by the Spirit to do
some research on the customs of ancient Hebrews. I found that
if we know that it was customary for the Hebrew man to consider
himself a Son of God this scripture can lose a great deal of it's
possibility to be corkscrewed by the Lost Man.
I did
not record my research and cannot give anyone the bibliography to
follow where the Spirit led me, you will need to approach the Holy
Spirit or spend the time, probably hours, in the local library to
discover what I am saying. So, what about the Daughters on Men? We
must remember that the, so called, Noahdic flood has not, yet,
occurred and Cain, for his sin against God, has been exiled. My
adventure into the ancient customs taught me the sons and daughters,
descended from Cain were known as the sons and daughters of man.
Why
God chose to bless the union of Seth's and Cain's descendants with
giants when they broke ranks and bred one another I have never cared
to examine and I will not trouble my LORD over a reason I do not need
to know. But let's examine what I have received from the Spirit of
God about the situation these scriptures present.
God
and the angels are Spirit beings
and from this point we must be very careful because it is, far, to
easy to make a mistake and to fall into heresy. As we search the
scriptures we do not find an angel appearing to man without a mission
God has sent them on. i.e. When Daniel Fasted and Prayed for an
answer God dispatched one angel that was detained by Satan's Demon so
God dispatched another. The first was involved in a Spiritual battle
and the second, Michael, came to fight the Spiritual Prince of evil
as the first angel, after 21 days of battle, completed his or it's
(your preference) mission, again in the spirit.
God does
grant angels a body men can see, He did so in the case Abram and Lot
and that is, indeed an important matter to consider. First thing to
remember, God has no part with evil. God cannot be fooled because of
His foreknowledge of all of His creation. Angel and fallen
angels/demons cannot appear in bodily form except God grant them a
body to do so. God will not allow evil for the sake of evil and once
again I return to the book of Job. Satan was granted permission to
harm Job, more specifically, Satan was granted permission to test
Job.
God knew
what Job would do and God knew job was faithful but Job had no idea
what he would do under the circumstances Satan presented him with
respect to God. God does not want people that are unsure of
themselves. 365 times, one for each day of the year God has taught
us to fear not in His Word. (search for it and you should find
http://musingsofaministerswife.com/2012/08/so-how-many-times-is-fear-not-actually-in-the-bible/
) After reading the Bible through a few times I would suggest to you
that God allows testing, not for the purpose of Him finding out how
we are doing, no, God allows testing that we might recognize and that
we might know our strengths.
The same is
true of our dealing with the understanding of scripture.
