The “Sons of God”

By Perry Demopoulos

B.D., Th.M.

(All scripture references are from the Authorized Version of King James 1611)

Because of a lack of understanding of the following verses one of the most corrupt interpretations of scripture is that the “sons of God” were not angels, “…That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose…” “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, the daughters of men, and they bare then children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” (Gen.6:2, 4).

The Blasphemous error of Scofield

The argument of those that have not “searched the scriptures” is based of the notes of Scofield which reads as follows:

“Some hold that these “sons of God” were the “angels which kept not their first estate” (Jude 6). It is asserted that the title is in the Old Testament exclusively used of angels. But this is an error (Isa.43:6). Angels are spoken of in a sexless way. No female angels are mentioned in scripture, and we are expressly told that marriage is unknown among angels (Matt.22:30). The uniform Hebrew and Christian interpretation has been that verse 2 marks the breaking down of the separation between the godly line of Seth and the godless line of Cain, and so the failure of the testimony to Jehovah committed to the line of Seth” (Gen.4:26).

Now the argument is thus:

The “sons of God” are not fallen angels but the “sons of Seth.”

The “daughters of men” are the line of Cain.

How is it that angels could go into the “daughters of men?”

The giants are not the offspring from the fallen angels that

cohabited with the “daughters of men.”

Scofield tries to prove that there were “sons of God” in the Old Testament besides angels because of Isaiah 43:6, “my sons from far…”

1 1. First of all Isaiah 43:6 is dealing with “sons…and DAUGHTERS” right in the same verse. Notice that it is not the same expression as the “sons of God” which were strictly of the male gender and in heaven (Job 38:7) and were angels.

2 2. The “sons and …daughters” in Isaiah 43:6 is Jews, Israelites-male and female, while “the sons of God” in Genesis 6, THERE ARE NO ISREALITES and are of male gender which we will see.

3 3. The “daughters of men” (Gen.6:2, 4) ARE NOT THE DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL. Israel had not even come into existence yet.

4 4. Hosea 1:10 is a reference to 2:23, which is obviously, future

5 references to the nation in the millennium, which is a totally different dispensation, and besides, for those that survive the Tribulation, there is still the possibility of disobeying the government that will be set up at that time by Jesus Christ Himself (Isa. 9:6, 7) and be cast into the lake of fire (Rev.20:11-15).

6 5. The corporate nation has been chosen as a “son of God”

(Exod.4:22).

6. The “sons of God” in Genesis 6:2, 4 are angels that talked with

God in heaven (Job 1:6; 2:1).

7. The sons of God of Genesis 6 are not human, for they reproduce giants. Unfortunately the word “giant(s)” is used only 4 times is the Synodal text. The word “Rephaim” is used the rest of the time which makes it much harder to understand that they were literally giants while it (“giants’) is used 21 times in the Authorized Bible, (Gen. 6:4; Num.13:33-twice; Deut.2:11, 20 twice; 3:11, 13; Josh.12:4; 13:12; 15:8; 17:15; 18:6; 2 Sam.21:16, 18; 21:20, 22; 1 Chron.20:4, 6, 8; Job 16:14).

8. The sons of God of Genesis 6:2, 4 are NOT from the line of Seth

because Seth never had a “godly line”; all he had was a Messianic line (there is a harlot, an adulteress, and a concubine in Joseph’s genealogy in Matthew 1).

The sons of God are not from Cain either, for their offspring survive

the flood (see Gen.6:4 “after that” i.e. after the flood) and are found in Num. 13:33; Deut. 2:11, 20, etc., while all the Cainites were DROWNED. Did you understand that? Everybody DROWNED in the flood. The sons of God could not be from Adam’s race because only “eight souls were saved” (1 Pet.3:20), in Noah’s flood. There is no possible way to explain that the sons of God were of Adam's’ race, for that would make God a LIAR, if more that “eight souls” were saved. The fact of the matter is that the sons of God escaped the flood and reproduced “after that” (the flood).

10. The teaching that the sons of God were of Seth entirely spiritualizes a doctrinal passage that deals with angels (of male gender) who left their first estate and brought forth perverted seed, of which Judas Iscariot is a prime representative – see John 6:70, 71.

11. Although it is not necessary to use any Hebrew to prove our point but where the Hebrew or Greek languages agree with the Authorized Version in the international language by which God has preserved His word, word perfect) we simply make note of it. Four names are used in Genesis 6:1-4.

“Bne-Ha-Elohim,” rendered “sons of God”;

“Bnoth-Ha-Adam,” “daughters of men;

“Hans-Nephilim,” “giants”;

“Hog Gibborim, “mighty men.”

The most basic and Biblical reason why the sons of God cannot be

of Adam’s race on the earth is simply because they were all present AT THE BEGINNING OF CREATION (Job 38:4-7) WELL BEFORE ADAM EVER EXISTED. Now you’d better understand THAT my dear friend.

Some additional information

There is THE Son of God, which is Jesus Christ.

Believers in Jesus Christ (John 1:12, 13) will replace the fallen sons of God mentioned in Genesis 6:2, 4; and Job 1:6; 2:1).

15. Israel as a nation- can be called the “sons and daughters” of God (Isa.43:6), but no individual Israelite was ever called a “SON of God” until THE SON (Matt. 21:36, 37) came in the flesh. When Jesus Christ showed up He was God’s holy “CHILD” (Acts 4:27) – born of God.

The Scofield note which you just read is a perfect example of modern day “Christian scholarship” which is typical of what is happening in just about every Seminary, Bible Institute, and College in all of Europe and America where education is overthrowing sound Bible doctrine. Now what we will do, is take every section of the comment by Scofield and prove from the Bible that Scofield is absolutely WRONG and so is any one else who has leaned to “Christian” education instead of sound Bible doctrine as laid out by the Holy Spirit.

The phrase “sons of God” is found in the Old Testament 5 times: Gen. 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1 and especially Job 38:7 which would place the “sons of God” at the beginning of creation (Gen.1:1), before the fall of Lucifer (KJV Isa.14:12-14; Ezek. 28:14) which took place in Genesis 1:2 WHICH BRINGS US TO A VERY IMPORTANT HISTORICAL FACT WHICH IS DENIED IN ALMOST EVERY CONSERVATIVE “CHRISTIAN” SCHOOL IN THE WORLD-called THE GAP FACT. It is not a “theory”, as many would have you to believe so that you would doubt it as an historical FACT.

The perfect creation (Genesis 1:1)

7 The Original Earth

The earth was chaotic (Gen.1:2) because of the sinful Lucifer’s rebellion. The world “that then was being overflowed with water perished,” (2 Pet.3:6). That means that there was one world already. Note the context of the creation (2 Pet.3:4) “…from the beginning of the creation.” (See chart). Then God created again starting at Genesis 1:3-31, See chart). That would be the “heavens and the earth which are now” (2 Pet.3:7). But this world and the heavens are going to be burned up (2 Pet.3:10, 12). But the Christian is to “look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Pet.3:13). That makes the third time God creates the heavens and the earth. But when God creates, He does it perfectly; Deut.32:4; Ps.18:30; Ecc.3:11. Not only that, even when He created “the anointed cherub”…” (Lucifer Isa.14:12-14 KJV), God created him “perfect in beauty” (Ezek.28:14), for he was “perfect in [his] ways” (v.15). Now that is very important to know because “In the beginning..” (Gen.1:1), when God “laid the foundations of the earth” (Job 38:4) although the time of their (the sons of God) creation is not mentioned in the narrative of Genesis 1, yet were said to be present according to Job 38:7. And not only that, they were also perfect because the text says that “all the sons of God shouted for joy.” Lucifer’s fall hadn’t occured as yet.

The fall of Lucifer (Gen.1:2)

The Chaotic Earth

So up to this point everything that God created including the “sons of God” were created perfect, “Thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created…” But then came the “fall,” “TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE.” (Ezek. 28:15). “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (KJV), son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Isa. 14:12, Application also to the Great tribulation)…

Scofield and “Christian” education says: “Some hold that these “sons of God” were the “angels..”

Sound Bible doctrine teaches: The sons of God are indeed angels.

1. Now to show that the “sons of God” were angels can be proven quite easily. Take for example what happened when the three Hebrew “men” (Dan. 3:21) were cast into the “burning fiery furnace” (v.21). The word “men” is mentioned in this chapter in 9 verses (vv.12-27). But in verse 25 we read, “..Lo, I see FOUR MEN loose, walking in the midst of the fire and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

From this we can conclude the following:

That although there is One God (1 Cor. 8:4) there “be many gods” (v.5).

Although there is only one Holy Spirit (Eph. 4: 4), there are many “spirits” (1 Jn.4:1).

There is one “Son of God” Who is also ‘THE ANGEL of the Lord, in both Testaments (Gen.16:7-11; 22:11, 15; Num.22:22-35; Acts 5:19; 7:30; 8:26; 12:7; 12:23; 27:23) and there are many “sons of God,” at that time, those that had fallen with Lucifer (Is.14:12-14; Ezek.28:14; Job 38:7). After the cross, those who have “received him, to them gave he power to become the ‘SONS’ (KJV) of God (Jn. 1:12). Unfortunately here as in other places the Synodal reads “children’ of God” which breaks the chain link references (“comparing spiritual things with spiritual” that is, scripture with scripture 1 Cor. 2:13) that expound the doctrine of the “sons of God.”

The “sons of God,” has not the same meaning in the Old Testament that it has in the New. In the New Testament it applies to those who become the “sons of God” by the new birth. (Jn.1:12; Rom.8:14-16; Gal.4:6; 1 John 3:1, 2, etc.). In the Old Testament it applies exclusively to the angels, and is used 5 times (Gen.6:2-4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7). A “son of God” means a being brought into existence by a creative act of God. Such were the angels, and such was Adam, and he is so called in Luke 3:38. Adam’s natural descendants are not the special creation of God. In Genesis 5:1, 2 we read this, “In the day that God created man, [past tense] in the likeness of God made he him [past tense];Male and female created he them; [past tense] and blessed them, [past tense] and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created” [past tense]. But he lost the spiritual likeness after the fall (Gen.3:1-7), and his descendants were all born in his (Adam’s) likeness, for we read that Adam, “begat a son in “HIS OWN LIKENESS, AGTER HIS IMAGE.” (Gen.5:3). Therefore all people born of Adam and his descendants by natural generation are the “SONS OF MEN,” It is only by being “BORN AGAIN” (Jn.3:3-7), which is “in Christ”… a “NEW CREATURE,” (2 Cor.5:17; Gal.6:15), that they become the “SONS OF GOD” in the New Testament.

There can be no question that the angel of God was Jesus Christ, the Son of God because Paul said that he belonged to that angel and even served him (Acts 27:23).

So we conclude that Scofield and “Christian” education is dead wrong!

Scofield and “Christian” education says: “Angels are spoken of in a sexless way.”

Sound Bible doctrine: Angels are of male gender.

Again we will prove that angels are of male gender. Look at

Genesis 19. In verse 1 we read, “And there came two angels to Sodom at even;..” Notice the following things:

They could have their feet washed (v.2).

They ATE (v.3) which means that they had all the digestive organs of a man. Just like Jesus Christ, Who having a glorified body, ate with the disciples, (Jn. 21:9-15).

In verse 5 and 8 it was possible for the locals to commit an act of sin (fornication) with, “these MEN.” Unfortunately in verse 8 the Synodal text says “people” while the King James Bible says “MEN.”

When there was a struggle at the door by the locals to get into the house, “the MEN put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door” (v.10). Notice that they had supernatural power to blind those at the door showing that all angels have some sort of supernatural power.

“And the MEN said unto Lot…” (v.12). You see, they are MEN that even talked with Lot face to face just like the “Angel of the Lord” who is a MAN talked with Adam (Gen. 2:16, 17; 3:8-21), Jacob (22:30), Moses (33:11; 34:10), Gideon (Judges 6:22), David (2 Sam.24:15-17), and many more, who when He came in the flesh of a man, is called “the MAN Christ Jesus,” (1 Tim. 2:5).

3. In Judges 13 we read, “..And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman,” In verse 6 she said, “a MAN of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, …neither told me HIS name:..”

In verse 7, “But HE said unto me…”

In verse 8 we read, “… my Lord, let the MAN of God which thou didst send come again unto us, …”

In verse 9 “…and the ANGEL of God came again unto the woman…”

In verse 11 we read, “And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the MAN and said unto HIM, Art thou the MAN that spakest unto the woman? And HE said, I AM.”

Throughout the rest of this chapter you will find the use of “the angel of the LORD,” (vv.15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21).

Look also at Luke 24:4 with verses 22 and 23.

In the last book of the Bible we read, “And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel” (Rev.21:17).

“And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

And he carried me away in the spirit…” (Rev.21:9, 10).

Jesus Christ Himself is called “the angel of God” (Acts 27:23). Would Scofield be so foolish to say that Jesus Christ himself is sexless?

To say that angels are sexless, is one of the most blasphemous teachings that gives theological support for the modern perverted homosexual, lesbian movement. The devil has fooled the theologians so that the theoligians would fool the simple-minded Christians to believe “every wind of doctrine” (Eph.4:14). A lot of Christians are reading the notes of men and are quick to believe them rather then searching the sciptures as Jesus had said, (Jn.5:39) and as those of Berea (Acts 17:10, 11).

Today it is quite difficult to differentiate between a man and a woman. Men look like woman, and women like men. That is, the distinctions are being broken down so that the roles of the man and the woman are less apparent. The fruit of that is effeminate men and women acting like men. Their God given roles are being perverted. A good example of such perversion is the nigger Michael Jackson, who has had operations on his face so as to do away with his God given nigger facial distinctions. His hair has been made straight like a Caucasians’ hair; his face looks like a woman’s; and he talks like a child. When you take away all the God given distinctions, the result is NO DISTINCTIONS. He isn’t a HE, and she isn’t a SHE, IT IS AN IT, a “NEUTER,” that is SEXLESS - (the synthesis) just exactly what Scofield and “Christian” education is teaching today in almost every Seminary. It is satanic and from the depths of hell. Unfortunately the “god of this world” has fooled even a great many Christians in making them believe the Roman Catholic heresy that angels have wings with hair like a women and faces like a women and bodies like men. Many books, Bibles, magazines, journals are sold in Christian bookstores with pictures that show women with wings and white gowns, supposedly being angels. The cultic Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches exalt Mary as the goddess (Jer.44). Unfortunately, it is not connected with Biblical Christianity in any way at all. Cherubims have wings (Ezek.1) and Seraphims have wings (Isa.6:2), but to say that angels have wings is definitely SATANIC and is a break down of distinctions.

This basic principal is seen in just about every sphere of life in one sense or another. In politics there is a thesis, (a governmental jurisdiction, a position), and anti-thesis, (would be the opposite position, i.e., over-throwing the government by revolutions- Marx, Hitler, Lenin, etc.), and then the synthesis (the compromise to get the people to adjust to another direction of the government). It is seen in this fashion; Nationalism is the thesis and Universalism is the antithesis. The outcome is the ‘New World Order’ which is the synthesis. It was Hegel (1770-1831) who was the inventor of such a wicked philosphy called the Dialectic. Karl Marx used Hegel’s theory that would murder over 30,000,000 people in China and Russia. To make it more plainer let’s look at this philosophy in the sphere of integration of colors: Thesis: white. Antithesis: black. Synthesis: gray. If you integrate the races of black and white you have mulottos. In the end the synthesis is expressed this way, “let’s unite,” “peace,” “share,” “God loves you,” “the aliens bring peace to earth,” “let’s integrate,” people are animals and animals are people,” “evolution,” “globalism,” etc…

In the family the children are acting like the parents and the parents are acting like children, the wife is the head of the home, (Jer.3:12) and then everybody becomes their own boss with absolutely no order, no distinctions (1 Tim. 6:1-5). This is socialism, communism, “globalism” the “New World Order” set up by the Illuminati, and the Roman Catholic, Orthodox Churches, Protestant Churches and all the other churches that are being sucked into the ecumenical movement. In Christian circles it is called COMPROMISE. And that is what is happening in the body of Christ by excepting such a perverted, blasphemous teaching that angels are sexless– COMPROMISE. That is why we have effeminate preaching, women preachers as pastors in Charismatic churches, effeminate pastors in Episcopal churches and “queers” in Catholic churches, Unitarian, Presbyterian, and many other churches, etc., so that nobody says anything negative. It’s all smooth (Isa.30:10). When you speak of the fact that God is a man (Ex.15:3), Jesus Christ is a man (1 Tim. 2:5) and the Holy Spirit, when speaking of His person is a man (Acts 5:3,4) you upset the women that want equal rights. It’s rebellion. That’s why we have now police-‘women,’ women soldiers, women that want to be presidents, city officials, etc. It is all the signs of the times. We are in the last days (1 Tim. 4; 2 Tim.3, 4).

Paul spoke of those of the Gentile world “who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more then the Creator, who is blessed for ever, Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet” (Rom. 1:25-27).

Scofield again is dead wrong!

Scofield and “Christian” education say: “we are expressly told that marriage is unknown among angels...” (Matt.22:30).

Sound Bible doctrine teaches: You should never misquote the scriptures and leave out the most important part of the verses as Scofield did. He left out two words, “in heaven.” There is a difference between angels that are “in heaven” and angels that fell out of heaven and were, and will be on the earth. Do you understand that?

The purpose of marriage is to replenish the earth and keep the race going. Resurrected saints and angels (that have not fallen) do not die and do not need to marry to keep their kind in existence. Hence, there is no marriage among angels or resurrected men and women. It is clear that the fallen angels did leave their own first estate and marry the daughters of men and produce races of giants is clear from Genesis 6:1-4. They committed the sin of fornication and are now in hell (Jude 6,7; 2 Pet.2:4).

Notice that it is “the angels of God IN HEAVEN.” This is ignored by Scofield in an attempt to prove that the sons of God were from the “godly line of Seth” (an earthly line) which the Bible never says.

Speaking in the context Matthew 22:30 we are dealing with the resurrection (mentioned 4 times in the chapter vv.23, 28, 30, 31),

At the resurrection the believers become like the elect angels who are IN heaven (1 Tim.5:21).

These angels, like the Angel of the Lord, are male (Rev.21:17).

The angel of the Lord appears as a 33-year-old male at his resurrection, which is a type of ours (Gal.4:14; Rom. 8:11; Phil.3:21).

His promise is that this is the body we will receive at the “coming in the air” (1 Jn.3:1-3; 1 Thess. 4:11-18).

Now all of this was said simply to explain one thing; that sons of God were fallen angels and ON THE EARTH went into the daughters of men while “marriage is unknown among angels “IN HEAVEN,” Mr. Scofield. Even the devil is a master at misquoting the scriptures. C.I. Scofield has lied again.

The Reason for such a wicked Heresy

That the “sons of God” (Gen.6:1-4) were ANGELS was maintained by the ancient Jewish Synogogue, by Hellenistic Jews at, and before the time of Christ, and by those in the body of Christ up until the fourth century, when the interpretation was changed to “sons of Seth. ” That was the same time that the two most currupt manuscripts Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, (Alexandrian manuscripts) were extant (331 A.D.). These are the result of a perverted revision based on another perverted revision by that heretic Origen (184-254 A.D.) from who’s hand came the corrupt “Septuagint.” The “Septuagint” is the so-called “better and oldest” manuscripts upon which all of the modern versions are based. It was just a matter of time before the Church was lead into the Roman Catholic Dark Ages, by such philosophy and traditions of men. The Christian is warned not to be spoiled by such deceit in the book of Colossians 2:8.

Now the reason for such heresy is two-fold;

First, because the worship of angels had been set up, and if the “sons of God” of Genesis 6:1-4 were angels and fell, then angels might fall again, WHICH THEY WILL (Rev.12) and that would affect the worship of angels. For we are warned in Colossians 2:18, “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.”

The Christian is not to be impressed with those that try to deceive him by worshipping of angels and so-called “angelic activity.” With all the angelic influence in the Laodicean period of the Church Age (1900- Rapture), many Christians are falling by the Catholic-Charismatic tongues movement. Those that claim to have the gift of “tongues” speak supposedly a heavenly (angelic) language. It is OCCULTISM. All the paraphanelia that is sold today having to do with angles is a great deception; Christmas angels, the “archangel” at Independent Square, (Kiev), and all the angels that are sold in stores is to deceive many, because “the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Tim.6:10).

Secondly, the reason of such blasphemy that the “sons of God” were not angels was and is because celibacy had become an institution of the Whore of the Roman Catholic Church, and if it was taught that the angels in heaven did not marry, and yet that some of them seduced by the beauty

of womanhood came down from heaven to gratify their sensual lusts, so that the sin of the same kind in the earthly celebates (priests, cardinals, Popes, etc.,) might be the more readily excused. You see it is the devil trying to cover his tracks among his servants.

This is also one of the “vain deceits” mentioned in Colossians (2:8, 18). You see, it was Paul that warned us that in the last days their would be “doctrines of devils.” “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS, and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS;

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

FORBIDDING TO MARRY,” (1 Tim.4:1-3).

So in this Laodicean period where in the book of Colossians the word “Laodicea” is mentioned 5 times (number of death), we find the interest in angels would be predominant again. We would have to ask, Why? There is only one reason; history repeats itself. What the devil attempted before, and was successful, he is attempting again. What caused the church to be lead into the Dark Ages is for the same reasons being lead under the power of the devil to convince even Christians, and “deceiveth the whole world” (Rev.12:9), that the antichrist and his fallen angels are not dangerous. For concerning himself we are not to “marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” (2 Cor.11:14).

Other sources that agree with the Bible

Now for the sake of those that would think that what we have already proven is some new belief we will go to other references, although it is not necessary for us to do this because what the Bible says is absolutely clear on the subject. It is not so clear to those that have been infected with the “tradition(s) of men” (Mark 7:8; Col.2:8).

Josephus, the Jewish historian that was born in A.D. 37 writes:

“Many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of their strength. These men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians called giants. But Noah was very uneasy at what they did; and, being displeased at their conduct, persuaded them to change their dispositions and their acts for the better; -but, seeing that they did not yield to him, but were slaves to their wicked pleasures, he was afraid they would kill him, together with his wife and children, and those they had married; so he departed out of that land.” (Ant. Book I, chapt. 3)

Again Josephus writes, this time concerning the period after the death of Joshua:

“There was till then left the race of giants, who had bodies so large and countenances so entirely different from other men, that they were surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing. The bones of these men are still shewn to this very day, unlike to any credible relations of other men.”

The Ante-Nicene “Fathers” also refer to angels as falling.

“unto impure love to virgins, and were subjucted by the flesh. Of these lovers of virgins, therefore, were begotten those who are called giants” (Vol.2, p.142; Vol.8, p.85, 273).

Justyn Martyr (110-165 A.D.), says, “but the angels transgressed were captivated by love of women, and bagat children” (Vol.2, p.190).

Methodius, (260-312 A.D.), says, “the devil was insolent as also those (angels) who were enamoured of fleshly charms, and had illicit intercourse with the daughters of men” (Vol.6, p.370).

Both Testaments of the Bible reach that some angels committed sex sins and lived contrary to nature (Gen.6:1-4) gives a history of such sinning. In 2 Peter 2:4, 5 we have the statement that angels did sin before the flood and for their sin were cast down to hell to be reserved unto judgment. This passage does not reveal that the sin was fornication, but Jude 6, 7 does, saying “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.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

If Sodom, Gomorrha and other cities lived contrary to nature and committed fornication, as the angels did, then it is clear that the sin of angels was that of fornication.

Throughout scripture angels are spoken as of men. No female angels are in the Bible. It is logical to say then, that the female was created (first of all for God’s glory) specifically for the human race in order that it could be kept in existence; and that all angels were created of male gender, inasmuch as their kind is kept in existence without the need to reproduce. Angels were created innumerable to start with (Heb.12:22) whereas, the human multitudes began with one pair, Adam and Eve who were commanded to reproduce and thereby make the multitudes. It is clear that angels have tangible spirit bodies with bodily parts, appear as men, (Heb.13:2) as thirty-three year old males (Jesus Christ is called the “last Adam” I Cor.15:45) and have performed acts equal to and surpassing those of the human male is clear from many passages (Gen.16:7-11; 22:11, 15; Exod.3:2; Num.22:22-35; 2 Sam. 24:15, 16; 2 Ki.19:35, Acts 12:7; 5:19, etc.).

1 Fallen Angels

There are 2 classes of fallen angels – those with Satan who will be cast down to earth during the future tribulation (Rev.12:7-12), and those who are now bound in hell for committing what the Bible calls fornication (2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6, 7). Had the ones in hell not committed the additional sin of fornication, they would still be loose, with the others, to help Satan in the future (Rev. 12- See chart-Great Tribulation). Their present confinement proves they committed a sin besides that of original rebellion with Satan. That it was a sex sin is clear.

Proof Giants were sons of Angels and not from the ‘godly line of Seth.’

Not only is it unscriptural but unhistorical to teach that giants came from the union of ordinary men, i.e. the ‘sons of Seth.’

The times of the marriages of the sons of God disapproves the theory that they were the sons of Seth. Marriages of Seth’s sons could not have taken place during the first 325 years, for he had only one son of marriageable age up to that time (Gen.5:1-8) and he (Enos) was not ‘godly.’ Seth’s line was just as ungodly as all others. Abel, Enoch and Noah were the only ‘godly’ people mentioned in this period of all the race. Apostasy began in Seth’s line with his first-born (Gen.4:26). Seth’s line and others were so ungodly at the time of Enoch that he prophesied of their destruction (Jude 14). He also foretold the deluge, for he called his son “Mathusaleh,” which means, “when he is dead it (the deluge) shall come.” Where were all the many so-called sons of God from Seth’s line during those last 600 years? God said to Noah that he was the only righteous one in the earth (6:9; 7:1). All flesh had corrupted his way upon earth, hence the judgment upon all flesh except eight persons. With the exception of Noah and his family all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth, before the flood (Gen.6:12), which means the entire race (besides Noah’s family) had become a mixture of fallen angels and men, of giants. Only Noah and his family had preserved their pedigree pure since Adam; and this is really why they were saved in the ark. They were the only ones capable of giving the race a new, clean start after the flood.

3 Giants “AFTER THAT” (the flood)

Genesis 6:4 clearly states that giants were after the flood because we read, “There were giants in the earth IN THOSE DAYS…” which is a reference to the days of Noah (v.8). But we find right in the same verse the words, “after that” which means AFTER the flood. The fact that giants or beings of abnormal size, have lived on earth is one of the most clearly stated truths in scripture. Is is clear from the fact that the men of Israel were as “grasshoppers” in size compared to them (Num.13:33). In no way could the word “giant” refer to the degree of wickedness instead of their size in body.

The Anakims were a people “great and TALL” in body (Deut.1:28; 2:10, 11, 21; 9:2; Josh.11:21, 22; 14:12-14). Anak himself was of the giants; and of he and all the Anakims were so big, we can be assured the other giants were also (Num.13:22, 33). The land of Ammon was a “land of giants” (Deut. 2:20), for giants dwelled there in old time. The Emims were also great, many, and tall as the Anakims (Deut.2:10, 11). Zamzummims were called giants, a people great, many, and tall as the Anakims. They dwelled in the land of Ammon from of old (Deut.2:19-21). Og, king of Bashan, is described as a giant whose bedstead was of iron and about 18 ½ feet long and 8 feet, 4 in. wide. This is not a measurement of wickedness, but of a material bed for a giant body measuring about 18 feet tall (Deut. 3:11; Josh. 12:4; 13:12). Bashan is called the land of the giants (Deut. 3:13).

A valley of the giants is mentioned in Joshua 15:8; 18:16). This is the same as the “valley of Rephaim” (2 Sam. 5:18; 22; 23:13; 1 Chron. 11:15; 14:9; Is. 17:5) which is certainly implying the name of another branch of the giant races so often mentioned in scripture.

There were many nations of giants other than the Rephains who filled the whole country trying to contest God’s claim on the Promised Land. The following list would imply that many that made up each clan were giants, some are obviously spoken of plainly as giants and other are listed among the clans of giants; Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaim, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, Jebusites, (Gen.15:19-21), Anakims, Emims, (Deut.2:10, 11) Horims, Avims, Zamzummims, and Caphtorims (Deut. 2:12, 20 22).

So have proven without any shadow of a doubt that the sons of God were angels and that their seed produced giants before the flood and after throughout the time of David. But the question arises what happened to them? That can be answered very precisely;

1. War killed them off.

2. Time eliminated them.

3. Sin killed them off.

This is shown by the following verses;

“And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.

But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants” (1 Chron. 20:6-8).

The text says that “they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.” This is, war had killed many of them off.

The second answer could be found in the following verses:

“And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David” (2 Sam. 21:16).

According to this verse we find three generations involved;

“And Ishbibenob which was of the sons…” 3rd generation

“of the giant…” 2nd generation

which are from fallen angels 1st generation

(or actually by direct

creation by God.)

The third answer would simply be found in the fact that by the time that Solomon builds the temple there is absolutely no mention of giants left anywhere. Of course angels are still active through the period of the kings after Solomon, throughout the 70 year captivity (which is approximately 490 years, plus from the Edict of Artaxerxes (Neh.2) to the death of Christ is another 483 years and so on. So time is also another key factor in the elimination of the giants. The last time “giant” is used in the Bible is 1 Chronicles 20:8 which is during the time of David which is approximately 1037 B.C. Because of the fact that the giants were also sinful, sin pays its wages in due time.

Where are those fallen angels that fornicated?

The “sons of God” that fell by going into the “daughters of men” are now in hell “For 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; (2 Pet.2:4) . The reason for this is explained in Jude 6, and 7, “ 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.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

They are the angels which caused the flood and since angels are “ministering spirits” “But to which of the angels… Are they not all ministering spirits..” (Heb.1:13, 14), it was to them Jesus preached (1 Pet.3:18-20), while His body was in the grave His soul was in hell (Acts 2:27, 31; Rev.1:18). After He preached to the spirits, He then went over to another place and preached “the gospel” (1 Pet.4:6) to others that were in “Abraham’s bosom” (Luke 16:22) and let those out to deliever the righteous souls from paradise where they had been held captive and were waiting for Christ to come down to take them with him (Isa. 41:7; Eph. 4:7-11).

But the fallen angels are in another place in hell that is not the same place that people go to when they die lost, for in Jude it says that they angels that sinned have “everlasting chains” on them.

The illustration would be like in prisons where some of the inmates are in one section of the prison, and there are yet other prisoners in certain sections for even worse offences and there are yet even other prisoners that are completely cut off from other prisoners for the most serious crimes.

Just as there are certain degrees (in distinction) of hell of the lost, (Matt. 23: 14, 15; Deut. 32:22), so are there certain distinctions of places in hell for the angels that fell and will fall. They are “in prison,” “in darkness” “reserved in everlasting chains….unto the judgement of the great day.”

Although we do not need to use any Greek manuscripts to understand the underworld (that which is beneath us, i.e., hell) but the word from the any and all Greek texts available is “tartarus.” (See chart). This place evidently is a particular place in hell where the fallen angels went. Just as there are three heavens and a particular place in heaven called the New Jerusalem, so there are particular places in hell. Before the cross Abraham’s bosom was for those who were saved. It was a waiting place till the time that they could enter into heaven AFTER eternal blood was shed on Calvary’s cross and after Jesus Christ went to the “heart of the earth” (Matt.12:40), to deliver the “captives” (Luke 4:18; Eph. 4:8-10).

But the fallen angels went to hell, “tartarus.” Their offspring are in hell, which could possibly be another section in hell where everybody else goes to when they died in the Old Testament and even today that are not saved. To which degree they are suffering, God knows. When Judas, the devil’s christ died, he went “to his own place” (Acts 1:25). He is also called the “son of perdition” (Jn.17:12; 2 Thess. 2:3), “the man of sin” (2 Thess.2:3). The place he went to is identified as “the bottomless pit” (Rev.9:1, 2, 11; 11:7; 17:8) (See chart).

The Purpose of Satan in producing Giants

It was the purpose of Satan and his fallen angels to corrupt the human race and thereby do away with pure Adamite stock through whom the seed of the woman should come. In Genesis 3:15, we read, “And I will put enmity between thee (Satan) and the woman, (Eve) and between thy seed (Antichrist) and her seed; (Jesus Christ) it (Christ) shall bruise thy head, (2nd Advent) and thou (Satan) shalt bruise his heel” (at Calvary). This would avert their own doom and make it possible for Satan and his kingdom to keep control of the earth indefinitely. It was said to Adam and Eve that the seed of the woman should defeat Satan and restore man’s dominion (Gen.3:15), which is a prophecy of the Lord’s return. The only way then for Satan to avoid the predicted defeat was to corrupt the pure Adamite line so that the coming of the seed of the woman into the world would be made impossible. This, he tried to accomplish by sending some of his fallen angels to marry the daughters of men as in Genesis 6:1-4, and producing the giant nations through them.

Now we have learned that two times the angels went into the daughters of men “in those days” (before the flood) “and also after that” (after the flood, Gen.6:4).

Satan almost succeeded in his plan during the first attempt, “for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth,” (Gen.1:12). And of all the multitudes Noah and his sons were the only pure Adamites left to be preserved by the ark (Gen.6:8-13; 1 Pet.3:19, 20). The main object of the flood was to do away with all this satanic corruption, destroy the giants, and preserve the pure Adamite stock so as to make good the guarantee of the coming of the seed of the woman, as in the plan of God. So we see God wanting to fulfill His plan, but the devil trying to hinder it.

Being defeated before the flood did not stop Satan from making a further attempt to prevent the coming of the Redeemer who eventually defeated the devil by showing him that He has the power over death at Calvary by rising again (Isa. 50:4-9; Col. 2;14; 1 Cor.15:1-4) and then in the end to defeat his plan of trying to be sole ruler on this earth. But Jesus comes back to destroy the devil. But is was to the devil’s advantage that God had promised never to send another universal flood upon the earth. Satan therefore reasoned that he should make a second attempt to do away with Adam’s stock. If he came within “eight souls” (1 Pet.3:20), of doing it before the flood his opportunities were now even greater, with the promise that there would be no such flood. This is the reason for the second group of his fallen angels being sent to marry the daughters of men. Once again, the unions produced giants, and races of them occupied the land of promise, where the seed (Jesus Christ), should be born. Limited by His promise of no flood, God was then faced with the problem (if you want to call it that) of destroying the giant races another way. This explains why He commanded Israel to kill them, everyone, even to the last one of them. This again explains why He destroyed all the men, women and children except Noah and his family at the time of the flood. It also answers the skeptics question regarding why the children were taken away with the adults in the flood. God had to do away with this corruption entirely in order to fulfill His eternal plan and give the world its promised Redeemer. The Redeemer has come now, (1st Advent), and so Satan is reserving his forces for World War III, and World War IV, (Armageddon), and then at the end of the millennium, World War V.

The “Sons of God” of the Church Age

While all of this is happening, all those that were saved in the Church Age called the “sons of God” (mentioned 14 times in the New Testament in the Authorized Version, see chart) will have their works judged up in the third heaven (1 Cor. 3:11-15; See chart).

After that time the “elect angels” (1 Tim.5:21) that is, the “sons of God” come back with the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (Rev.19:11-16) to take over the world and to reign with Jesus Christ. The sons of God coming back with Jesus Christ was prophesied before the flood when the fallen angels, (fallen sons of God) went into the daughters of men (Gen. 6:2-4). “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints” (Jude 14). The sons of God were prophesied about also by Moses, “And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them” (Deut.33:2) which speaks when those “in Christ” come back with Jesus Christ to give and maintain the Law with the nation Israel just as Moses was to do at Mount Sinai.

To further confirm that the sons of God are angels is preached by Jesus Christ, “For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels” (Luke 9:26).

Paul spoke of the angels returning also, “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (2 Thess.1:7). They are called the “elect angels” because in the former life, that is, before they were saved they were NOT ANGELS. They were of their father the devil, (Job 41:26/ KJV 41:34) until they were “adopted” (Gal.4:5). They became “as the ANGELS OF GOD” (Matt. 22:30) when their spirits were made perfect (Heb.12:13), and having been redeemed by blood-they are confirmed (1 Cor.1:8; Phil.1:6) and cannot fall (Jude 1:24). That is, God has done something in the believer that he has never done in any of his angels before; made them a “NEW CREATURE” (2 Cor.5:17) in Christ so that they will NEVER have to worry about going to hell.

What is coming?

There is going to be a repeat of what happened during the days of Noah. First the Lord will meet all those “in Him” and take them all to heaven (1 Thess. 4:16-18). This is the Rapture. Then, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:26,27). This is the period of the Tribulation. There will be kings on the earth that will be fallen angels (Dan.2:43; Rev.12:7-12). The world will already be conditioned by the News Media of every broadcast that if there is any one from outer space that is interested in our planet that they will be “kind, loving, ‘aliens’ who want to bring peace on the earth.” After all, the story of many films shown on television and at the theatre have to do with supernatural beings having some kind of relationship with man on the earth. Not only that, ancient traditions in many countries teach that some kind of gods had relations with women. Whether they be humanoid (half man/half animal), that is, Sphinxes of Egypt, or giants, or the gods seducing women, and many other stories, these along with numerous pagan myths and legends always run parallel to the content of scripture, to some real event that really happened many years ago. Right now there is much documentation and personal witnesses to the fact of some outerspace beings that have abducted people on the earth. The sights of UFO's have been witnessed to by literally thousands already.

The holiday Christmas will promote this world wide “religion” along with the United Nations, NATO, Council of Foreign Relations, Parliament, the White House, the Russian KGB, the American Central Intlligence Agency (CIA) the British Intelligence, all the Presidents, the Pope, Mecca, Buddhists, Hindus, the scientists, educators, the Catholic and Orthodox Churches along with all the other Churches of the worldwide ecumenical movement will be in one agreement that “peace and safety” will be on this earth (1 Thess. 5:3). But all hell is going to break loose on the earth. One third of the “stars” (angels) are going to fall to the earth (Rev.12:4). It is going to be a real “STAR WARS.” World War III and World War IV will take place. The fallen angels will be leaders in political positions. Satan’s destiny is that he will be cast out of heaven (Rev.12:9), but he still has access to heaven today (Rev.12:12). At this time the antichrist will try to convince the world that he is God, (2 Thess. 2:3, 4).

Judgment of the Satan and the fallen Angels

Then the devil will be bound for a thousand years back into the “bottomless pit” from which he came (Rev.20:1-3). After being loosed out of “prison” (Rev.20: 7, 8) he will lead another revolt (vv.8, 9) and then be “devoured” (v.9), then have to stand before us believers (in Christ) who will have perfect bodies to judge angels (1 Cor.6: 1-5) at the great white throne judgment. And the devil, beast, and the false prophet will be “cast into the lake of fire” (Rev.20:10-15) to be “tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Rev.20:10). This “anointed cherub” (Ezek. 28:14) is cast down five times. These falls may also be thought of as when a boxer is punched he is weakened, set back a bit, but Satan is still permitted access up to, but not into the third heaven. So when he presented himself before the Lord (Job 1:6; 2:1), Satan could come up to the foot of the third heaven without entering into it to converse with the Lord. So the falls would stand as follows:

From the third heaven to the second heaven (Gen.1:2).

He was put out of the second heaven into the first heaven in the time of Christ, when Christ said, “I beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18).

He will be cast out of the first heaven down to this earth in the tribulation when he comes down to be the man of Sin, the Antichrist.

He will be cast from this earth to the bottomless pit in Revelation 20 when he is chained up for a thousand years.

He will be cast out of the bottomless pit down to the lake of fire in Revelation 20 at the great white throne judgment. (Note the 5 falls of Satan on the chart.)

It seems that all fallen creatures; angels, i.e., fallen sons of God, people, the antichrist, beast, false prophet, etc., will eventually end up in the same place, the lake of fire (Rev.20:11-15) because according to Matthew 25:41 Jesus Christ says, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”

Is would seem in the end that all the lost would be in one place for that is what they wanted anyway, to be with their father;

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (Jn.8:44).

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have seen from the Biblical standpoint the doctrinal teaching of the "sons of God" as compared to "Christian" education. C.I.Scofield has some good notes but he has made a grave mistake concerning the "sons of God," among other subjects also. The key to all Bible study is "searching the scriptures" (Matt.21:42; John 5:39; Acts 17:11; 18:25) and the leadership of the Holy Spirit (Jn. 16:13), and not believing someone's notes. The fact that Scofield had been highly deceived about the fallen angels and because his notes have been printed and are being sold in Christian bookstores, it has given the devil a great opportunity to deceive a great many more in the body of Christ. This is one of many subjects that has made the difference between Fundamentalists, Southern Baptist, (believers in the West that come to the former Soviet Union and teach in Seminaries, and Bible Colleges), and a true Bible-believer. There are subjects that if the believer does not accept as "sound doctrine" (1 Tim.1:10; 4;3; Tit.1:9; 2:1, KJV), will make the difference of him being a nominal believer rather than a true Bible believer, such as; Dispensations, "Rightly dividing the word of truth," Eternal Security, Heresies of Calvinism, The body of Christ, what "tongues" is in the Bible, The Jew and the Gentile, The Church and the Kingdom, the different Gospels, the different Judgments, the difference between Faith and Works, the Two Natures of the believer, Standing and State, the Preservation of God's word, UFO's in the Bible, etc.

With the end of the Church Age before our very eyes, the Laodicean Period coming to the end, it is rather obvious that the saints have an eye problem (Rev.3:17, 18), a spiritual problem,

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim.4:3,4).

A word to the unsaved

Dear reader, if you are not saved, come to the Saviour Jesus Christ right now. If you realize that you are a guilty sinner, and are lost and deserve to go to hell, you can simply call upon the Lord Jesus Christ who died and shed His pure precious blood on the cross, and suffered the wrath of God in your place to save you from a devil’s hell. If you do not accept Him now, you may never, only to find yourself in the gaping jaws of an eternal fire, gnashing your teeth, forever wishing you would have trusted Jesus as your personal Savior. Do you want to be a son of God? And be with Jesus Christ or do you want to remain a child of the devil and go to that place where you will have to suffer with him throughout all eternity? Don’t wait and risk your own soul. Millions of people have already gambled their souls to the devil thinking that money, pleasures, religion, and good works could keep them from hell, but the eternal shock of literal flames beneath your feet had proved them wrong.

Believe that Jesus Christ died for you and was buried and rose again the third day, that is, that He is alive and wants to save you, right now.

If you want to be saved, simply bow your head to God Almighty, and say a simple prayer something like this;

God, I know that I’m a sinner. I’ve sinned against You. I repent of my wicked sins. I believe that Jesus died, and was buried and on the third day rose again. I now receive Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. Wash me in the blood of Christ. Save my soul from hell. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear friend, if you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, please let us know about it. We would like to help you grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
