"Sons of God..."

“Sons of God…”

Blessings folk!

Man multiplied as the Lord instructed.
The “sons of God” saw that the daughters of men were beautiful.
They took them as wives.
Whoever they chose.
Read again.

Gen 6:1-5

Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

There appears an inference that the “choosing” was forced to a degree…?

Who are the “sons of God”?
We simply do not know beyond doubt.

Some say they are men of the line of Seth, the so-called “godly-line”.
Perhaps. But, not likely.
We do not know.

Some say they are “men” who are “fallen angels” - demons.
Perhaps. But, not likely.
Angels do not physically reproduce.
We do not know.

Some say they are “rulers or princes”. This is the Jewish rabbinical understanding.

I’m more inclined to believe that they are “demon-possesed” rulers.
These are men that took to themselves power and denied the power and authority of the Most High God.

They sought to be God.

I believe this is the foundation for what became known as the “divine right of the King.”

Man seeking to usurp God.
Man seeking to do things his way.
Man seeking everything other than God.

Nothing has changed…to be continued…
