Who are the Sons of God in Genesis 6

[covid-19v1]

The "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6 were not people from the line of Seth. That belief was an invention of men and not supported anywhere in the Scriptures.

The "sons of God" title only started getting applied on God's people in the New Testament, because of Jesus Christ (John 1:12).

The Scriptures never referred to godly people as "sons of God" in the Old Testament. The title was only applied to a certain rank(s) of angels who have the privilege to be part of a heavenly council where they can be asked by God on their opinions (Job 1:6, 2:1; 1 Kings 22:20-22).

 

[covid-19v1]

The prophecies in Genesis 3:14-15 (serpent), Ezekiel 28:12-19 (king of Tyrus), and Isaiah 14:4,9-17 (king of Babylon) pertains to Satan and what was going to happen to him (not what already happened).

The serpent, the king of Tyrus, and the king of Babylon were not Satan himself. They were just representation of him. In my opinion, the prophecies had to be done in these manner to prevent Satan from knowing the prophecies actually pertained to him.

Satan's fall transpired during the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ (described in one of my previous posts).

There are references to Israel in OT.

Jeremiah 31:20
“Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a delightful child?
Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him,
I certainly still remember him;
Therefore My heart yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,” declares the Lord.

Hosea 1:10
Yet the number of the sons of Israel
Will be like the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered;
And in the place
Where it is said to them,
“You are not My people,”
It will be said to them,
“You are the sons of the living God.”

It wasn’t angels that the next verse 3 had a beef with it was man

Gen 6
2 sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

3 So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

 

[JohnD70X7]

Job 38:4–7 (AV)
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Genesis 6:1–5 (AV)
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.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

You can rationalize all you want that these are just human males... but that dos not align with scripture. The date / setting for one distinguishes the use of sons from other uses of the term sons or children of God.

The biblical term "son of God" means direct creation of God. In humanity there are only two sons of God (the first and last Adam). Adam, the son of God the Word (Luke 3:38 / John 1:3) and Jesus (John 1:14, John 3:16-18, etc).

Whereas the term child / children of God is by the adoption as sons (Roman 8:15).

Revelation 12 reveals an important time line about Satan. The repeated mention of the dragon and the woman tells us the events mentioned here is in chronological order.

When the only begotten Son of God left heaven to be conceived inside the womb of a virgin, Satan thought that was the best opportunity for him to conduct a mutiny in heaven.

Satan was able to trick a third of the angels (Revelation 12:4). I don't know exactly how Satan did it, but he may have said something like this to the angels...
You have never transgressed any of God's commandments and been serving Him for a long time. And never did He throw you a party for your faithfulness. But He sent His only begotten Son to earth to redeem the seed of the transgressors, and everybody is preparing a big celebration to welcome them back. God will be making them equals with all of us. We were here first, but God is making us last. Let us all rebel against God and demand the same treatment He is giving the sons of men!

After taking a third of the angels with him, Satan's pride and overconfidence swallowed him. Satan thought he discovered a weakness in God while His only begotten Son seems to be "trapped" in a weak human body. Maybe he can tempt His Son into joining and serving him? (Luke 4)

Satan found out he can't tempt the Son of God. But he still thought he had the chance against the remaining angels of God. Satan probably thought...
If there is any chance to fight God, the best opportunity is probably now, while His Son is away.

And Satan took his angels with him to war against the angels of heaven....And that was the last time Satan had set his foot in the heavenly realm, because he and his angels suffered a great defeat. (Revelation 12:7-9)

The Son of God was watching how Satan fell like lightning from heaven. Satan's minions even tried to possess some people and animals (out of frustration?). But they were driven away by the disciples of Jesus Christ the Son of God. (Luke 10:17-18)

I really don't think you have thought that through very well...
You might need to then explain how it was that Adam and Eve were tempted into sin by the serpent a few thousand years BEFORE the incarnation of Jesus and his death FOR transgression of all past, present and future sins!

The serpent in Genesis 3:14-15 was not Satan himself, just like the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14:4,9-17 or the king of Tyrus in Ezekiel 28:12-19 were not Satan himself.

The serpent was actually a creature, and the two kings were actual kings. They all received the punishments prophesied against them. Their lives were subtle prophecies against Satan.

I think one has to first look at the theme of the bible...and ask the question,

What is the overall narrative of the Bible?

God created heavens and the earth and all that is in them
Satan rebelled and was cast down to this earth
Satan tempted Man in order to attempt to ruin Gods creation
Man fell into temptation and sinned
God ordained a rescue plan and introduced an earthly sanctuary service to explain why and "exactly" how the rescue plan functioned
Jesus gave us the gospel and died for the sins of the world in fulfillment of the the first part of the rescue plan and its earthly demonstration (ie the sanctuary service)
Jesus comes again to redeem us to Himself in fulfillment of the second half of the rescue plan outlined in the earthly sanctuary service
Destruction of the Devil and the Wicked (this is also in the second half of the sanctuary service)

If one takes doctrines based on the above concepts, it is not logical to interpret the Bible in such a way that Satan's only war in heaven was at the same time as the incarnation of Jesus...that is inconsistent with the narrative. The bible actually states that Jesus himself was TEMPTED in the wilderness for 40 days by the Devil after Jesus baptism...very different from a heavenly war i think.

We have two locations for wars in the Bible,
1. The war in heaven when Lucifer rebelled and 1/3 of the angels are cast down to earth with him (talked about after the creation story in Genesis and again in Revelation...clearly these are the same war)
2.

a) Satans ongoing earthly war against Gods creation and his people up to the time of the second coming as illustrated in the two Bible Testaments,
b) the final march of the wicked towards the New Jerusalem just before fire falls from heaven and consumes them in Revelation
​

I personally am of the view that the war in heaven was actually over the creation of this earth. My reason for this view...why would Satan have been cast down to this earth and not another one unless his charge against God, and therefore the war with God, was explicitly over the creation of this earth?

That is just a personal theory, but it does seem to fit in with the bible narrative. Does it make any difference to the gospel? Good question and i cannot answer that other than to quote what i think is the most treasured verse in the whole bible

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)​

Based on what's written in Revelation 12, your timeline is incorrect. This is the order of the events:

* Revelation 12:1 the *woman* brought nation of Israel from the 12 sons of Jacob

* Revelation 12:2 the Son of God left the heaven to be born in the flesh. The *woman* is instrumental for that.

* Revelation 12:3-4 while the only begotten Son of God was absent from heaven, Satan took advantage of this opportunity to deceived and take 1/3 part of the angels with him. Satan stood before the *woman*. The Son of God has made Himself lower than the angels and Satan planned on killing God's Son in the form of a helpless babe.

* Revelation 12:5-6 the Son of God is born in the flesh, and the *woman* fled into the wilderness.

(Before the events in verse 7 - Satan, with his own army of angels, conquered and controlled the earthly kingdoms. He thinks God became weak when His only begotten Son left the heavenly kingdom. This made Satan's confidence go even higher. Maybe he can even make God's Son to join him or even serve him?)

* Revelation 12:7 Satan failed to convince the Son of God to join him, but it doesn't matter. He still thinks God is weaker without His Son, so he launched an attack.

* Revelation 12:8-9 Satan and his angels suffered a great defeat from the angels of God. He and his angels were cast into the earth. The Son of God was watching everything so He sent His disciples to fight the demons who try to find refuge by possessing human bodies (Luke 10:17-18).

(Satan wants revenge by killing the Son of God. Satan was able to enter one of His disciples)

* Revelation 12:10-11 The Son of God was crucified. But something happened that Satan did not expect....There is a great power in the blood of the Christ, the Son of the living God. Satan is defeated.

* Revelation 12:13 Satan is so angry, he persecuted the *woman*

O.m.g...what denomination are you...that is an unfortunate reading of the timeline. You cannot read Revelation sequentially

That is why it's important to check with biblical themes, and other books in the Bible narrative to ensure the puzzle fits. Revelation is a very very difficult writing to correctly understand. Few churches get this right and that is a real shame.

As but one gross error you have no provision for original sin and the fall of man.
Your theory also makes no logical sense when compared with other Bible writings concerning the timeline and is completely inadequate in explaining 2 key things
1. Why was Satan cast to this earth? In the context of the narrative, what is important about earth, why not another planet?
2. Sin needed to exist before the fall of man in the garden of Eden.

God helped Eve with Cain and Abel births thus why the child birth wasn't painful..

scriptures aligns you even posted them, it was man not angels in gen 6 verse 3 and 5.

Yes, you cannot read the whole book of Revelation as a sequential timeline. But chapter 12 is writen in correct sequence of events if you read it in context. The repeated mention of the "dragon" and his pursuit of the "woman" is a solid evidence of it.

As but one gross error you have no provision for original sin and the fall of man.

You are burying yourself with unnecessary confusion.

Satan's fall started from his heart, and only God knew about it. Unlike the angels in Genesis 6, Satan is not impulsive. He is more calculating and acts tactically. His rebellious ideas brought forth before the council of God (like in Job 1 and Job 2) influenced the rest of God's creation (like the serpent in the garden).

A question like "ever wonder what would happen if we try something different?" is a cancerous tempting idea that can be passed on to every creature who hears it, and would dwell indefinitely in the heart of those who have lived in the absence of conflict.

Funny you should mention Job...I wondered if you might try that pathway.
I have this theory about Job 1. That meeting is likely here on earth and not in heaven. Sons of God in the Bible are clearly his faithful followers

I suggest one uses a concordance or biblehub.com and do some cross referencing of all passages in the Bible using phrases and words such as sons of God, children of God, servants of God, presenting themselves before the Lord/God, abomination...(I added abomination because it also ties in with Genesis 6) you may surprise yourself at what the majority of texts represent for those searches! Certainly it will cause one to seriously question the years of believing (without question), the wives tails about Job 1! I think for far too long mystical beings have been applied to that chapter (and Genesis 6) that are actually not who we think they are.

You should be studying the Scriptures properly. The "sons of God" in chapters 1 and 2 of Job are the same "sons of God" in Job 38:7. If you will read Job 38 from verses 4 to 7, you will know the "sons of God" were watching in celebration when God created the earth. In other words, if the "sons of God" were already in existence before Adam and Eve (and even before the creation of the earth), it should be obvious they did not come from the line of Adam.

You will not find anywhere in the Old Testament where godly people where called "sons of God", because it is a title given to certain rank(s) of angels. The only time this title started getting applied to the people of God was when Jesus Christ redeemed the people with His own blood (John 1:12).

Do not rely on studies made by people who relied on their own understanding, instead of relying on the Holy Spirit of God.

Sons of God

That the Sons of God where angels which lost their first estate has been a controversy for ages. Many have viewed this as myth but many have not. I will use two references here to support the Sons of God being angels. 1) Old Testament Step Two World Wide Bible Institute (WWBI) Source of Light Ministries, International, Madison, GA. and 2) The Origin of Heathendom by Ben Adam Bethany Fellowship Inc..

“Notice the language, the sons of God saw the daughters of men . . . and they took them wives (Genesis 6:2). The title, the sons of God (literally B'ney ha Elohim) is never used in the Old Testament except in reference to angels. WWBI Old Testament Step Two Pg. 3

We see the same in Job 1:6 concerning Sons of God (bold my emphasis).

Now there was a day when the Sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

Controversy starts in verse 6:4 with the word Giants in the KJV

“Actually, the word-translated giants is not the usual word for giant in the Old Testament, which is rapha. The word here is nephilim, which actually means "fallen ones." This would lead us to Jude 1:6, which says, And the angels which kept not their first estate (i.e., fell from their original state), but left their own habitation. They cohabited with the daughters of men.” WWBI Old Testament Step Two Pg. 4

The NIV rightfully use the word Nephilim. The fallen ones (Nephilims) which kept not there first estate but abandon the habitation.

Jude1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

“Ben Adam says this,

“ The Nephilim (fallen ones) were on the earth in those days. They failed to keep their position in the heavens, because for evil purposes they came down to earth and took up their abode thereon. The “sons of God” that took them wives of all they chose were the angels that kept not their first estate.” Pg 108

But this does not explain how they could co-habituate with the daughters of Adam and bear children “mighty men of old”. Ben Adams goes on to explain…

“But this angels did something else. They left their proper habitation… The Greek word translated habitation occurs only twice in the N.T. Jude 6 and 2 Cor. V.2. If we had only its occurrence in Jude to guide us, we could not say definitely what it meant. But its meaning is clear in Corinthians. There, without a shadow of doubt it means the resurrection body. But we learn from scripture that the resurrection body is a spiritual body. Then on the generally accepted principle of interpretation of explaining the unknown by the known, we can explain the word in Jude by the meaning that it undoubtedly bears in Corinthians. Thus we learn that these angels not only left there their heavenly home, but left their spiritual bodies also. Pg. 109

Here is strong definition of the word habitation (#3613)

The Strong's Ref. # 3613 Romanized oiketerion Pronounced oy-kay-tay'-ree-on

neuter of a presumed derivative of GSN3611 (equivalent to GSN3612); a residence (literally or figuratively): KJV--habitation, house.

Here are both verses Jude 6 and 2 Corinthians 5:2 (my emphasis in bold)

Jude 6. |0032| angels |5037| And |3588| those |3361| not |5083| having kept |3588| the |1438| of themselves |0746| first place, |0235| but |0620| having deserted |3588| the |2398| own |3613| home, |1519| unto |2920| {the} Judgment |3173| of {the} great |2250| Day |1199| in chains |0126| eternal |5259| under |2217| blackness |5083| He has kept,

KJV And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day

2 Corinthians 5:2. |2532| indeed |1063| For |1722| in |5129| this |4727| we groan, |3588| the |3613| for living place |2257| of us |1537| out of |3772| Heaven |1902| to put on |1971| greatly desiring,

KJV For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

The point in all this is to bring into the forefront the spiritual warfare we to often forget.

Satan had sent a contingent of fallen angels to ruin the line promised seed.

 

[JulieB67]

I definitely believe that the Sons of God were the angels described in Jude. It says very specifically that they gave themselves over in like manner as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah -going after strange flesh. In this case the strange flesh would be human. There's no other way to read that.

Of course we don't know how it was done, etc but we do know that angels have bodies, can consume our food just as we can consume theirs so it's not out of reach that they can procreate. Human men even wanted to abuse the angels that were with Lot.

Christ says the end times will be just like in the days of Noah, they will be giving and taking in marriage. Well, Satan and his will be booted out once more as described in Revelation. People need to be prepared for that.

I do not believe angels can procreate...and I think the text referenced where Jesus stated "we will be like angels neither marrying or being given in marriage"

Well, that's why it was such a HUGE abomination. We're not going to be marrying in Heaven but these angels left their own habitation to marry human women.

Excellent insight as well. Many do not realize that angels do take human form. I believe that the angels that lost their first estate were called nephilims and had offsping that were giants (called rephaims).

 

[JulieB67]

Many do not realize that angels do take human form.

I know and it's right there if one has eyes to see it.

Growing up, my church didn't teach it and many other truths from the Bible. That's why it's so important to study for ourselves if you're only getting a sermon surrounded by a few verses in the bible each week if one goes to church. You could spend a lifetime in church and only be fed milk.

 

[AdamjEdgar]

I don't agree with the conclusion we are raised at the second coming into spiritual bodies. Jesus told doubting Thomas to put his finger in his side...clearly Jesus was not resurrected an angel or in the body of one...so this I don't think can be used in the deduction it has been for Nephilim. That places the NT link with fallen angels in shakey territory.
The problem I have with Job 38 is that morning stars and sons of God sang. We are not the only planet God created life on, so I'm quite sure that it also refers to people on those planets...the same ones who are watching on now and who have remained faithful to him in not eating from the tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
Another problem I have with sons of God being fallen angels...if true why did they stop procreating and producing giants?
Or is Sultan Kosen from Turkey (over 8 feet tall) born of a fallen angel?

I don’t recall saying that we are raised in a spiritual body but this I am certain as 1 John states we will be like him in his resurrection body. It will be a spiritual physical body.

1 John 3:1-2 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
