3. S. Τ., London. The Hebrew words translated “sons of God” (Gen. 6:2, 42That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (Genesis 6:2)
4There 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 6:4)) are never used in the Old Testament to mean the sons of Adam. And from Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:76Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. (Job 1:6)
1Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. (Job 2:1)
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:7) we learn that these words cannot mean sons of men, or of Adam, but evidently angelic beings. It further seems evident that Peter refers to the same thing (in Gen. 6) 2 Pet. 2:4, 54For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; (2 Peter 2:4‑5). Mark this is in connection with the flood. Then Jude 66And 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. (Jude 6) speaks also of these fallen angels. The subject is peculiarly awful, and God has thrown a veil of obscurity over it, as much as to say it is not for our profit to dwell on it.
The word “wives” is said by some to be incorrect in Gen. 6. They took all they chose of the daughters of Adam.
Surely all this is very dreadful, and sufficient is named in holy scripture to account for the Titans, &c. of ancient mythology. All mythology may be Satanic perversion of facts before the flood. He who has thrown a veil over all this fearful ‘wickedness has also forewarned us that “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.”
Already there are, it is said, over twenty millions of Spiritualists, or persons getting more and more under the direct influence of demons or fallen angels. What will it be for those who are left behind when “they that are Christ’s are taken away at His coming.”
