We left off last week, with the family tree, from Adam to Noah. We also covered Enoch, and his translation, which portends the translation of all the saints living on earth before the next world-wide judgement.
GENESIS 5:24-32
King James Version (KJV)
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.
26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.
30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
WE HAVE SEEN THE PROGRESSION OF SIN; FROM LYING, TO JEALOUSY, TO MURDER, AND POLYGAMY. AS WE ENTER CHAPTER SIX, MAN’S MORAL CONDITION HAS FURTHER DETERIORATED.
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. Genesis 6: 1-2
A great many books have been written on this one passage. Let us first examine the term “sons of God.” This term is used only five times in the Old Testament. Twice in the passage we are studying here, and three times in Job. In every case, the term is accepted to mean angels. Look at this reference from Job:
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 1: 6-7
Let us continue in Genesis 6. The Lord now states that He is going to shorten man’s life span. Up until this point, people had incredibly long lives.
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.
This Egyptian bas relief shows great physical disparity between the ruler (Ramses II) and his subjects. Ancient Greeks and Romans also held that there were gigantic Titans and mercurial gods and half human / half god offspring such as Hercules.
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.
Genesis 6: 3-4
Josephus – the Jewish Historian “Whereby they made God to be their enemy, for many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, That these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants.” Antiquities of the Jews, p. 73
Man’s quest to become a god continues to this day. This following quote from noted trans-humanist Richard Seed, says it all. Trans-humanists believe they will accomplish it one way or another, either through selective breeding and genetic engineering, or through demonic interaction – or both. It is my belief that this is the ultimate goal behind the “extraterrestrial” saturation we are being desensitized with.
We are going to become Gods, period. . .but if you are going to interfere with me becoming a God, you’re going to have trouble. There’ll be warfare.
The New Testament explains just who those “sons of God” were –
