      I came to this very probable deduction as well. Could very well be the same for the gods in Egypt and all other ancient civilizations. As it is said that 1/3 of the angels joined the devil’s rebellion as they wanted to be treated as gods and have rule over the humans.

      New Living Translation
      14 “The day is coming when you will see the sacrilegious object that causes desecration[a] standing where he[b] should not be.” (Reader, pay attention!) “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. 15 A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. 16 A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. 17 How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. 18 And pray that your flight will not be in winter. 19 For there will be greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world. And it will never be so great again. 20 In fact, unless the Lord shortens that time of calamity, not a single person will survive. But for the sake of his chosen ones he has shortened those days.
      21 “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 23 Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!
      24 “At that time, after the anguish of those days,
      the sun will be darkened,
      the moon will give no light,
      25 the stars will fall from the sky,
      and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.[c]
      26 Then everyone will see the Son of Man[d] coming on the clouds with great power and glory.[e] 27 And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world[f]-from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

      It's really not, the biggest problem with this interpretation is that you have to ignore the LITERAL previous chapters Genesis 4 and 5, isolate the 2 verses that have "sons of God" in chapter 6 and ASSUME it's referring to fallen angels instead of the descendants of Seth.
      You have to ignore Matthew 22:29, (that is a problem verse for those who think angels procreated with humans)
      You have to ignore the over 10 references "sons of God" meaning men who worship God in the New Testament. And you also have to ignore the demon possessed man story, the demons said to Jesus "it is not the time of torment yet" meaning there's a specified time for destroying fallen angels. So his 2 Peter 2:1-10 connection doesn't work there either.
      I used to think that "sons of God" meant fallen angels too, but I remember just reading the previous chapters for hours seeking for clues and it all came to me and 6:38 made sense.
      Chapter 4 Cain's genealogy is the daughters of men
      Chapter 5 is Seth Genealogy sons of God "because men began to call on God's name when Seth was born and had sons
      Supporters of fallen angel procreation belief are just mostly intrigued by the race nephilim. A hybrid between human and angel. They are so intrigued with the idea they WANT "sons of God" to be fallen angels in Genesis 6.
      "sons of God" is really an encompassing term for all CREATION who worship God. Men, angels, and perhaps other intelligent life we are unaware of and isolated from because of sin. But it doesn't include fallen angels because they don't worship God.

      @@mikhailhunter5277I think you are ignoring what the text says, Sons of God. It says nothing of the sort about who they were before hand. It doesn’t say they are Angels. But Job does have something to say about it. The Sons of God were at creation, it’s the same word as in Gen 6. The Seth line runs into problems because the Cain line and Seth line Had to have had contact because Cain found a wife. From who? Adam, Seth.? And the big problem is
      People having sex with people do not make giant clans. ( I disagree with this guy on this point)
      Job defines Sons of God. So who are they that cheered at creation. God
      said they were there. He should know.
      It’s the only straight up answer the Sons of God are the Sons of God.

      In reality it is so difficult to interpret bible without one being filled with God's Spirit and power.
      Teaching scriptures without hearing from God is a big blindfolding.
      There are 2 classes of sonship:
      The permissive sons of God, these are classes of beigns among angels and man who can hear God by His voice before Christ came John 10:35.
      2. The Adopted sons of God, these are those who have been able to received the Gospel of Christ by faith, now living with the eternal life of God in their spirit John 5:26, James 1:18, these class of people are the new Adams i.e the new creation men.
      Those angels known as the sons of God are also called the sons of morning or the morning stars, Michael, Gabriel etc and Lucifer before he fell, fall into this category they are the chief princes i.e archangels in the 2nd heaven, they are angels who stands before God's throne just as Gabriel mentioned to Zechariah.
      Among these sons of God some of them fell with Lucifer and his 1/3 troops in heaven, but Gabriel and Michael etc with their troops kept their company till date.
      You need to have an encounter with those guys to know the full details about what was summarized in the bible.
      If bible is enough to know the mysteries of God then we don't need the Spirit to commune with us again.
      Don't be carried away by doctorates in theology, bible is more than theology learning, it is spiritual.

      If you pay attention, he reads the word “when” as meaning “before.” But “when” does not mean “before,” but rather “at the time of.” So the text would actually seem to be expressing that the appearance of the Nephilim coincides with the production of offspring from the unnatural couplings of angels and human women. Both interpretations are still possible, but I don’t see the support for positing his reading as the correct interpretation.
      Also, in his reading he states the text does not explain who the Nephilim were, but if you read “when” as meaning “when” and not “before,” that’s exactly what the text does - explain who the Nephilim were and where they came from.

      I've known these things for decades now. Over 45 years ago,when I studied the book of Daniel's prophecies about the Antichrist, I noticed what Daniel was being shown in Daniel 11.And for decades after,no bible teacher I know of ever mentioned what is pretty obvious. Now,back then,talking about aliens and pointing this out in scripture got my friends eyes rolling. But now? Well, the majority of the world,according to recent polls,believes aliens are real.
      Here's biblical proof, and the prophecies of what's already unfolding in the news. Take note,remember that Jesus and the apostles warned over and over, do not be deceived.
      "Aliens" in the bible?!!!
      If you study the bible you would learn that angels can take on different forms. Now that includes fallen angels.
      Paul taught that in Thessalonians. Because they rejected the truth,God gives the world (those left behind after the rapture) over to a powerful delusion. 2 Thess.2:9 The coming of the lawless one(the Antichrist) will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12
      Now notice this. It's "the lie",singular,not lies plural. Paul states this twice,ok?
      It's one main idea that is at the deception the world is given over to. And it's being promoted now,all over the news and social media.
      What's this one idea,lie,deception? That aliens are responsible for genetically engineering modern man! That they have been here throughout history. That they will intervene when the time comes,when we are threatening to destroy ourselves through nuclear holocaust,etc.etc.
      I haven't found a bible prophecy teacher yet who has commented on these particular prophecies in Daniel. Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
      Now Chuck Missler did teach on this,so I have to give him the credit due. Notice "they"will mingle with the seed of men"? Who are they? Everyone in this last kingdom of the Antichrist? Or just the beast and the rules? Who knows for sure. BUT,"THEY" are not of the "seed of men"! Get it?
      "They"are not completely human. Why do you think they're referred to as "beast" in Revelation?
      Now do the research and see what's in this mRna nanotechnology,that changes our human DNA.
      And here's the prophecy that nobody will teach,Daniel 11:36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
      Look at this carefully. The "king"is the Antichrist.This prophecy is about the last kingdom on Earth,before Jesus comes. Who is the second figure here? An "unkown"god,a god of fortresses (forces),a "FOREIGN"god! That word in the Hebrew is alien! This is a fallen angel. Who empowers the Antichrist and is able to subdue the mightiest weapons of war on the Earth. Bible prophecy must harmonize. These two figures must be the two "beast"of Rev.13,and 17.See that?
      The great alien deception is already being promoted. Even on the mainstream news now,check the news out right now! These aren't aliens.Their fallen angels and demons who can shapeshift. And the "nephilim",angel/human hybrids,are already here on the Earth. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.See "and also afterwards". They survived the flood of Noah. Now do the research and see what the women who were abducted by aliens claim. And the hybrid babies they were impregnated with and gave birth to. "They will mingle themselves with the seed of men"?!!!
      Rev.13:13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. It's this "foreign god",the second beast,that makes everyone take the mark,and worship the first beast.Jesus taught He would return just before the judgment comes, and this is pretrib.
      So all this alien/ufo coverup ,that's been covered up for eighty years now,is just being allowed to come out! Cmon,this is planned. They've killed many people to keep the secrets of the existence of these so called aliens. But now it's being allowed to go public,why! The world is being set up for the coming of the Antichrist. The devil knows the rapture,Jesus' return to take His true followers home, as the tribulation period begins. In fact,ALL the signs that Jesus and the apostles have foretold are happening like I've never seen before. ,they're all unfolding like never before,right now,just watch the news. Jesus is coming soon.And this alien deception,which has been promoted by the Ancient Aliens show for years, is being now pushed by governments that have kept it secret. That's even more evidence that the rapture is coming soon. Jesus and the apostles warned over and over about being deceived,specifically in the days of the time of the end. Many scientist already confirm,aliens from planets that are millions of light years away, could not have made it here. Their technology and abilities are transcendent of our physics.Which means they're from another dimension. And by definition,that's what fallen angels and demons are,when you study the bible.

Elohim made the children of Israel wander the desert for forty years because of their unfaithfulness. They forgot who was their God. Those doubted Elohim were turned them to carcass until they all died including the ten spies,only two that left Egypt were able to enter the promised land which is Joshua and Caleb.

    QUESTIONS:
    Weren't those watchers/fallen angels "spirit beings"?
    • Meaning no fleshly bodies nor genitalia?
    Did they somehow possess "creator" capacity apart from the Word,
    • or did they force the Word to do their bidding?
    • Meaning did they make their own flesh bodies with Genitalia?
    Weren't their boundaries of "after their own kind" established by the creator?
    • How did they violate the established order of "after their own kind" set by God almighty?
    • If they did make flesh bodies; how did they change the rules of being “now flesh” with its commensurate death?
    Wasn't the commission and command "only" to mankind "to be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth" as was consistently reiterated?
    • How did spirit beings change that established order or subvert it and change the command of the creator so they could "multiply"?
    If they did not create genitalia for reproduction; meaning not have flesh bodies to inseminate;
    • did they do "virgin births" before Jesus?
    • Do we then say Nephalim came in the "flesh" as virgin births?
    • and that the Word/Creator didn't do that then but thousands of years later?

      I think the sons of God refers to the lineage of Seth and the scripture intends to demystify the perception that they could have generated special giants by flesh. Here is my explanation:- we notice that all creatures and creation has structures and organs that adapts them to their environment and purpose. We have sex organs for reproduction, stomach for digestion, and limbs to walk. Land animals have these structures. Water creature have unique attributes for water survival. And the same is true for birds. Jesus, before he came, had to take the human form that is fit for use on earth (philipians 2). Therefore, it indicates He looked differently in heaven and angels in heaven have different structures for their environment and purposes. If Angels had sex with women, by nature they should be having sex with fellow Angeles in heaven. But you said Angels in heaven don't marry?? Then I ask, why would God give them sex organs and how would they have sex without marriage? They would be fornicators. Therefore, these can't be Angels.

      They are the offspring. it's in the book of Enoch.
      Look at my teaching below,especailly when I get to Daniel 2 :40.
      I've known these things for decades now. Over 45 years ago,when I studied the book of Daniel's prophecies about the Antichrist, I noticed what Daniel was being shown in Daniel 11.And for decades after,no bible teacher I know of ever mentioned what is pretty obvious. Now,back then,talking about aliens and pointing this out in scripture got my friends eyes rolling. But now? Well, the majority of the world,according to recent polls,believes aliens are real.
      Here's biblical proof, and the prophecies of what's already unfolding in the news. Take note,remember that Jesus and the apostles warned over and over, do not be deceived.
      "Aliens" in the bible?!!!
      If you study the bible you would learn that angels can take on different forms. Now that includes fallen angels.
      Paul taught that in Thessalonians. Because they rejected the truth,God gives the world (those left behind after the rapture) over to a powerful delusion. 2 Thess.2:9 The coming of the lawless one(the Antichrist) will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12
      Now notice this. It's "the lie",singular,not lies plural. Paul states this twice,ok?
      It's one main idea that is at the deception the world is given over to. And it's being promoted now,all over the news and social media.
      What's this one idea,lie,deception? That aliens are responsible for genetically engineering modern man! That they have been here throughout history. That they will intervene when the time comes,when we are threatening to destroy ourselves through nuclear holocaust,etc.etc.
      I haven't found a bible prophecy teacher yet who has commented on these particular prophecies in Daniel. Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
      Now Chuck Missler did teach on this,so I have to give him the credit due. Notice "they"will mingle with the seed of men"? Who are they? Everyone in this last kingdom of the Antichrist? Or just the beast and the rules? Who knows for sure. BUT,"THEY" are not of the "seed of men"! Get it?
      "They"are not completely human. Why do you think they're referred to as "beast" in Revelation?
      Now do the research and see what's in this mRna nanotechnology,that changes our human DNA.
      And here's the prophecy that nobody will teach,Daniel 11:36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
      Look at this carefully. The "king"is the Antichrist.This prophecy is about the last kingdom on Earth,before Jesus comes. Who is the second figure here? An "unkown"god,a god of fortresses (forces),a "FOREIGN"god! That word in the Hebrew is alien! This is a fallen angel. Who empowers the Antichrist and is able to subdue the mightiest weapons of war on the Earth. Bible prophecy must harmonize. These two figures must be the two "beast"of Rev.13,and 17.See that?
      The great alien deception is already being promoted. Even on the mainstream news now,check the news out right now! These aren't aliens.Their fallen angels and demons who can shapeshift. And the "nephilim",angel/human hybrids,are already here on the Earth. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.See "and also afterwards". They survived the flood of Noah. Now do the research and see what the women who were abducted by aliens claim. And the hybrid babies they were impregnated with and gave birth to. "They will mingle themselves with the seed of men"?!!!
      Rev.13:13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. It's this "foreign god",the second beast,that makes everyone take the mark,and worship the first beast.Jesus taught He would return just before the judgment comes, and this is pretrib.
      So all this alien/ufo coverup ,that's been covered up for eighty years now,is just being allowed to come out! Cmon,this is planned. They've killed many people to keep the secrets of the existence of these so called aliens. But now it's being allowed to go public,why! The world is being set up for the coming of the Antichrist. The devil knows the rapture,Jesus' return to take His true followers home, as the tribulation period begins. In fact,ALL the signs that Jesus and the apostles have foretold are happening like I've never seen before. ,they're all unfolding like never before,right now,just watch the news. Jesus is coming soon.And this alien deception,which has been promoted by the Ancient Aliens show for years, is being now pushed by governments that have kept it secret. That's even more evidence that the rapture is coming soon. Jesus and the apostles warned over and over about being deceived,specifically in the days of the time of the end. Many scientist already confirm,aliens from planets that are millions of light years away, could not have made it here. Their technology and abilities are transcendent of our physics.Which means they're from another dimension. And by definition,that's what fallen angels and demons are,when you study the bible.

      If you have studied science and the Bible, DNA of angels would make the humans quite small depending on the angel. And if you studied science in school you would have known that DNA that beings have could do anything with size and shape. Including human DNA with human DNA. You need to go back to school if you wish to know this. Even if some angels are large, some are quite small too.

      You are right because when I fast and pray to GOD for understanding, He always clears up any ambiguities. HE answers through Spiritual Revelations, Visions, chosen People, Premonitions, and/or Dreams. My Dreams are profoundly realistic because they eventually come true, but Premonitions do not always come true because they are warnings. That is GOD's way of admonishing us and giving us the opportunity to change our ways or stop doing wrong. Either way, I get my answers from GOD.
      I believe GOD wants everyone to know the truth, thusly, I believe if everyone would take the time to fast and pray and just spend some quality time with Him, He will answer everyone. GOD has no favorites, He Loves everyone and wants everyone to be Saved, but He says those who continue to hate and intentionally cause harm to others will not be Saved. In fact, GOD does not hear the prayers of the wicked, evildoers, and Satan worshippers. Moreover, He also says He detests those who justify the guilty and accuse the innocent. HE calls them an abomination.

      this is probably because the nephilim were a way to basically convert new people by giving them an explanation for their already present deities...similar to how St. Patrick put the symbol of the Sun deity of Ireland on the cross to show its significance resulting in the Celtic Cross ( a sort of co-opting of pagan and Christian symbols.) The faith has done this many times throughout history it is very much the reason Christmas is on December 25th (which was a widely celebrated date for Roman Holidays) as the religion spread and got bigger, it often co-opted ideas as many religions do. So essentially you are probably right that at first Romans prob didnt totally stop believing in Hercules but rather saw him as something between God and people and these stories exist to allow that belief.

      Queen Eva Thanks for your kind words. It’s not that I don’t know what being religious is. Actually I am raised Catholic and I used to read the Bible. I like it as a book and it holds some kind of youth sentiment. My grandfather used to read stories and explain them. It was one of the nicest things in my childhood. In my teens I quit religion and started to inform myself about other ways of making sense of life. I came to the conclusion (maybe sadly so) that there is no higher power. It really hurts to have to come to this conclusion. Now I dare say that I am very sceptical to all kinds of religion. The only thing that can give me the same feeling of calm that I had in church is meditating in nature. What happens to me after I die? I can’t say... My best guess is nothing. That is my body will decompose and in this way I will again become part of the circle of life. Not a bad thought. I know that believing in God can give you this good feeling of belonging. It’s quite special and yes I miss it but I cannot believe in a deity that isn’t there.

These Churches had many manuscripts, and the churches had letters handed down to them that the original Apostles (Couriers) had given them. They had many writings of those taught by the Apostles. They debated each manuscript, the ones accepted having to have 2 to 3 witnesses, as the Scriptures require. This is how they settled on what we today call, "The New Testament."

      @@Razaiel No. Not quite. I really really dislike the RCC, but truth is truth and the old story about the nefarious decisions that went into the selection of the Canon aren't accurate. There are several things needed for a book to be accepted as Scripture. The first and most important, Did the Jews consider it Scripture? They valued Enoch, but it was not considered inspired by God. The authorship is examined. Did the person claiming to write it write, dictate, or oversee it? How old is it? Is the material used consistent with the claimed age? Are the grammar, expressions, and idioms used consistent with the stated age? When it describes witnessed events, was it written close enough to the date of the events described to have been written and read by eye-witnesses? How does it line up next to other books which have already been accepted as inspired? If every Prophet in the canon has rejected magic, spells, incantations, etc then it is easy to see why Tobias is not included. Also, it is dated to have been written about 200 years BCE, but the story is placed in the 8th century BCE.

      I think there are some misinterpretations.
      (Genesis 6. / KJV)
      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.
      without no doubt, the giants or nephilims are offsprings between angels and human-women. Because the bible says "the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them"
      'In those day' means the pre-flood world and 'after that' means post-flood world. It is written from the perspective of post flood world people (maybe moses).
      Why did God have to wipe out all humanbeings and nephilims in those day.(Noah's day).
      And why did God command the israelities to extinct the canaanites where the decendants of nephilims exists.
      Because it was a great threat against the messiah's coming in humanbody.
      In this perspective, i think we can understand Gen6 and the whole bible context.

When he created the universe and people he could have set some standard other then eternal torture for any offense, no matter how small. He could have done any number of things differently so that we are not born destined for hell unless we do exactly as told in a book written by men that is full of stupid lies and immoraity. Of course, since god knows all, he knows before hand who is going to heaven and who to hell and he is perfectly happy to condemn people before they are even born by allowing them to be born.
      No, he gave us a world that looks exactly as it would without his influence, refuses to allow any evidence for his existence, and stands ready to punish us for acting in accordance with what we are given.

      Thats why I Do not agree with this mans second sentiment. Perhaps when the Author was talking about endless geneologies, Paul was referring to what the Pharisees would claim about being the sons of Abraham, and John the baptist and Jesus both said, that your geneology doesnt mean anything. (PARAPHRASED) Why? In scripture the Israeli and and kings of Judah had a scrambled and broken line of faithfulness and unfaithfulness to God IN LINEAGE. So although their lineage was racked with both faithfulness and unfaithfulness the emphasis of Jesus and John the baptist was on HANDED DOWN HERITAGE and not lineage. Of course this example is displayed all the way back to the story of Adam and Eve bearing 2 sons. One who followed God and one who didnt. Same lineage but handed down different Heritage. so was Paul referring to the Nphalaim in his letter to Timothy, my instinct says no but had more to do with doctrinal divide.

    The Bible writer Jude indicates that the “sons of God” in Genesis 6 were angelic creatures. In verse 6 he states that “ And the angels who did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place,he has reserved with eternal bonds in dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.7 In the same manner, Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities around them also gave themselves over to gross sexual immorality.” The cross reference leads to Genesis 6:1-4.
    So where did these angels go? Simply put they materialized fleshly bodies and lived as men. Notice too how Jude links their behavior with the perversions of later societies. Verse 7 continues:”
    In the _same_ manner, Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities around them _also_gave themselves over to gross sexual immorality* and pursued unnatural fleshly desires,” .....The result of this interference by spirit creatures with the human family led to the “earth being ruined in the sight of the true God.”

      I think the sons of God refers to the lineage of Seth and the scripture intends to demystify the perception that they could have generated special giants by flesh.

We have sex organs for reproduction, stomach for digestion, and limbs to walk. Land animals have these structures. Water creature have unique attributes for water survival. And the same is true for birds. Jesus, before he came, had to take the human form that is fit for use on earth (philipians 2). Therefore, it indicates He looked differently in heaven and angels in heaven have different structures for their environment and purposes. If Angels had sex with women, by nature they should be having sex with fellow Angeles in heaven. But you said Angels in heaven don't marry?? Then I ask, why would God give them sex organs and how would they have sex without marriage? They would be fornicators. Therefore, these can't be Angels.

      The Nephilim were the offspring of fallen angels and humans. And they were empowered with "secret knowledge",technology,by their certain angels. It's in the book of Enoch,who Jesus,Jude,and Peter,referenced.
      I've known these things for decades now. Over 45 years ago,when I studied the book of Daniel's prophecies about the Antichrist, I noticed what Daniel was being shown in Daniel 11.And for decades after,no bible teacher I know of ever mentioned what is pretty obvious. Now,back then,talking about aliens and pointing this out in scripture got my friends eyes rolling. But now? Well, the majority of the world,according to recent polls,believes aliens are real.
      Here's biblical proof, from my studies, and the prophecies of what's already unfolding in the news. Take note,remember that Jesus and the apostles warned over and over, do not be deceived.
      "Aliens" in the bible?!!!
      If you study the bible you would learn that angels can take on different forms. Now that includes fallen angels.
      Paul taught that in Thessalonians. Because they rejected the truth,God gives the world (those left behind after the rapture) over to a powerful delusion. 2 Thess.2:9 The coming of the lawless one(the Antichrist) will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12
      Now notice this. It's "the lie",singular,not lies plural. Paul states this twice,ok?
      It's one main idea that is at the deception the world is given over to. And it's being promoted now,all over the news and social media.
      What's this one idea,lie,deception? That aliens are responsible for genetically engineering modern man! That they have been here throughout history. That they will intervene when the time comes,when we are threatening to destroy ourselves through nuclear holocaust,etc.etc.
      I haven't found a bible prophecy teacher yet who has commented on these particular prophecies in Daniel. Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
      Now Chuck Missler did teach on this,so I have to give him the credit due. Notice "they"will mingle with the seed of men"? Who are they? Everyone in this last kingdom of the Antichrist? Or just the beast and the rules? Who knows for sure. BUT,"THEY" are not of the "seed of men"! Get it?
      "They"are not completely human. Why do you think they're referred to as "beast" in Revelation?
      Now do the research and see what's in this mRna nanotechnology,that changes our human DNA.
      And here's the prophecy that nobody will teach,Daniel 11:36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
      Look at this carefully. The "king"is the Antichrist.This prophecy is about the last kingdom on Earth,before Jesus comes. Who is the second figure here? An "unkown"god,a god of fortresses (forces),a "FOREIGN"god! That word in the Hebrew is alien! This is a fallen angel. Who empowers the Antichrist and is able to subdue the mightiest weapons of war on the Earth. Bible prophecy must harmonize. These two figures must be the two "beast"of Rev.13,and 17.See that?
      The great alien deception is already being promoted. Even on the mainstream news now,check the news out right now! These aren't aliens.Their fallen angels and demons who can shapeshift. And the "nephilim",angel/human hybrids,are already here on the Earth. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.See "and also afterwards". They survived the flood of Noah. Now do the research and see what the women who were abducted by aliens claim. And the hybrid babies they were impregnated with and gave birth to. "They will mingle themselves with the seed of men"?!!!
      Rev.13:13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. It's this "foreign god",the second beast,that makes everyone take the mark,and worship the first beast.Jesus taught He would return just before the judgment comes, and this is pretrib.
      So all this alien/ufo coverup ,that's been covered up for eighty years now,is just being allowed to come out! Cmon,this is planned. They've killed many people to keep the secrets of the existence of these so called aliens. But now it's being allowed to go public,why! The world is being set up for the coming of the Antichrist. The devil knows the rapture,Jesus' return to take His true followers home, as the tribulation period begins. In fact,ALL the signs that Jesus and the apostles have foretold are happening like I've never seen before. ,they're all unfolding like never before,right now,just watch the news. Jesus is coming soon.And this alien deception,which has been promoted by the Ancient Aliens show for years, is being now pushed by governments that have kept it secret. That's even more evidence that the rapture is coming soon. Jesus and the apostles warned over and over about being deceived,specifically in the days of the time of the end. Many scientist already confirm,aliens from planets that are millions of light years away, could not have made it here. Their technology and abilities are transcendent of our physics.Which means they're from another dimension. And by definition,that's what fallen angels and demons are,when you study the bible.

    Enjoyed listening to this very much. At this point I am more convinced by his first interpretation ("sons of God" = angels) than by his second (that the Nephilim and the product of the unholy angel-human union are unrelated).
