Sons of Seth

Sons of God, Daughters of Men

In 1947 an Arab boy tending his sheep accidentally discovered an ancient cave near the Dead Sea. In it were found a priceless collection of ancient scrolls, which soon became known as the Dead Sea Scrolls or the Qumran Texts and among these writings was one known as the Genesis Apocryphon. At first it was thought to be the long lost Book of Lamech. Although the scroll consisted of a speech by Lamech and a story about some of the patriarchs from Enoch to Abraham; it was not that book.

According to the Bible, Lamech was the son of Methuselah and the father of Noah. He was the ninth of the ten patriarchs of the antediluvian world.

It is significant, however, that the Genesis Apocryphon mentions the Nephilim, and makes reference to the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" introduced in Genesis 6. The Apocryphon also elaborates considerably on the succinct statements found in the Bible, and provides valuable insights into the way the ancient Jews interpreted these ancient stories.

The copy of the Genesis Apocryphon discovered at Qumran dates back to the 2nd century B.C., but it was obviously based on much older sources. When discovered in 1947, it had been much mutilated from the ravages of time and humidity. The sheets had become so badly stuck together that years passed before the text was deciphered and made known. When scholars finally made public its content, the document confirmed that celestial beings from the skies had landed on planet Earth. More than that, it told how these beings had mated with Earth-women and had begat giants.

Is this story myth or history, fable or fact? Specialized research has revealed that many ancient legends have a basis in fact. But to answer the question, let us consult the most authoritative document known to man--the Bible.

In Genesis 6:1-4 the "sons of God" are captivated by the beauty of the "daughters of men." They subsequently marry them and produce an offspring of giants known as the Nephilim. Genesis goes on to say that these Nephilim were "mighty men" and "men of renown."

"Sons of God"? "Daughters of men"? What sort of beings were these? Were they human or did they belong to an alien species from outer space?

IDENTIFYING THE SONS OF GOD

There is no problem in identifying the "daughters of men" for this is a familiar method of designating women in the Bible. The problem lies with the "sons of God." Three major interpretations have been offered to shed light on this cryptic designation.

First, a group within Orthodox Judaism theorized "sons of God" meant "nobles" or "magnates." Hardly anyone today accepts this view.

Second, some interpret the "sons of God" as fallen angels. These were enticed by the women of Earth and began lusting after them. Many reputable Bible commentators have rejected this theory on psycho-physiological grounds. How can one believe, they ask, that angels from Heaven could engage in sexual relations with women from Earth? Philastrius labeled such an interpretation a downright heresy.

Third, many famed scholars contend that the "sons of God" are the male descendants of Seth, and that the "daughters of men" are the female descendants of Cain. According to this view, what actually happened in Genesis 6 was an early example of believers marrying unbelievers. The good sons of Seth married the bad daughters of Cain, and the result of these mixed marriages was a mongrel offspring. These later became known for their decadence and corruption; indeed, it reached such a degree that God was forced to intervene and destroy the human race. This comment of Matthew Henry could be taken as representative of those holding this view:

"The sons of Seth (that is the professors of religion) married the daughters of men, that is, those that were profane, and strangers to God and godliness. The posterity of Seth did not keep by themselves, as they ought to have done. They inter- mingled themselves with the excommunicated race of Cain." (1)

However, in spite of the excellent pedigree of the proponents of this theory, their argument is not convincing. Their interpretation is pure eisegesis - they are guilty of reading into the text what is obviously not there.

FAULTY EXEGESIS

Their interpretation fails on other grounds as well. At no time, before the Flood or after, has God destroyed or threatened to destroy the human race for the sin of "mixed marriages." It is impossible to reconcile this extreme punishment with the mere verbal strictures found elsewhere in the Bible for the same practice. If God is going to be consistent, He should have destroyed the human race many times over!

The contrast made in Genesis 6:2 is not between the descendants of Seth and the descendants of Cain, but between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." If by "sons of God" is meant "sons of Seth," then only the sons of Seth engaged in mixed marriages, and not the daughters; and only the daughters of Cain were involved, and not the sons. And another strange assumption is implied: that only the sons of Seth were godly, and only the daughters of Cain were evil.

The strangeness is compounded when one seeks for evidence that the sons of Seth were godly. We know from Genesis that when the time came for God to destroy the human race, He found only one godly family left among them--that of Noah. Where were all the other supposedly godly sons of Seth? Even Seth's own son could hardly be called righteous. His name was Enosh, meaning "mortal" or "frail." And he certainly lived up to it! Genesis 4:26 reads, "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord." That statement seems harmless enough, but what does it mean when it says that it was only now that men began to call upon the name of the Lord? Upon whom did Adam call? And Abel? And Seth himself?

Some scholars give us a more literal and exact translation to this verse: "Then men began to call themselves by the name of Jehovah." Other scholars translate the statement in this manner: "Then men began to call upon their gods (idols) by the name of Jehovah." If either of these be the correct translation then the evidence for the so-called godly line of Seth is non- existent. The truth of the matter is that Enosh and his line, with few noted exceptions, were as ungodly as the other line. The divine record could not be clearer: "all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth" (Genesis 6:12).

In the Old Testament, the designation "sons of God" (Bene'aim Elohim) is never used of humans, but always of supernatural beings that are higher than man, but lower than God. To fit such a category only one species is known - angels. And the term "sons of God" applies to both good and bad angels. These are the beings of whom Augustine wrote:

"Like the gods they have corporeal immortality, and passions like human beings." (2)

The designation "sons of God" is used four other times in the Old Testament, each time referring to angels. One example is Daniel 3:25, where king Nebuchadnezzar looks into the fiery furnace and sees four men, "and the form of the fourth is like the son of God." The translation is different and clearer in our modern versions, "like a son of the gods." Since Jesus had not yet become the "only begotten son" of God, this "son" would have had to be angelic.

Another example is Job 38:7, which says the sons of God shouted for joy when God laid the foundations of the Earth. Angels are the only entities that fit this designation since man had not been created at that time!

In Job 1:6 and Job 2:1 the "sons of God" came to present themselves before the Lord in Heaven. Among the sons of God is Satan--a further implication that the "sons of God" must have been angels.

Since the designation "sons of God" is consistently used in the Old Testament for angels, it is logical to conclude that the term in Genesis 6:2 also refers to angels.

SONS OF GOD: THREE CATEGORIES

In the New Testament, born-again believers in Christ are called the children of God or the sons of God (Luke 3:38, John 1:12, Romans 8:14, 1 John 3:1). Dr. Bullinger in the Companion Bible states: "It is only by the divine specific act of creation that any created being can be called 'a son of God.'" This explains why every born-again believer is a son of God. It explains also why Adam was a son of God. Adam was specifically created by God, "in the likeness of God made He him" (Genesis 5:1). Adam's descendants, however, were different; they were not made in God's likeness but in Adam's. Adam "begat a son in his own likeness, after his image" (Genesis 5:3). Adam was a "son of God," but Adam's descendants were "sons of men."

Lewis Sperry Chafer expresses this in an interesting way when he states:

"In the Old Testament terminology angels are called sons of God while men are called servants of God. In the New Testament this is reversed. Angels are the servants and Christians are the sons of God." (3)

It is thus clear that the term "sons of God" in the Bible is limited to three categories of beings: angels, Adam and believers. All three are special and specific creations of God. As for the use of the term in Genesis 6, since it cannot possibly refer to Adam nor believers in Christ, we conclude that it has to refer to the angels whom God had created.

LIGHT FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT

Two New Testament passages shed further light on Genesis 6. They are Jude 6-7 and 2 Peter 2:4. These verses indicate that at some point in time a number of angels fell from their pristine state and proceeded to commit a sexual sin that was both unusual and repugnant. Jude 6-7 states:

"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 Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh..."

These angels not only failed to keep their original dominion and authority, but they "left their own habitation." Habitation is a significant word: it means "dwelling place" or "heaven." And the addition of the Greek word "idion" ("their own") means that they left their own private, personal, unique possession. (4) Heaven was the private, personal residence of the angels. It was not made for man but for the angels. This is why the ultimate destination of the saints will not be Heaven but the new and perfect Earth, which God will create (Revelation 21:1-3). Heaven is reserved for the angels, but as for the beings referred to in Jude 6-7, they abandoned it.

Not only did these angels leave Heaven, they left it once-for- all. The Greek verb "apoleipo" is in the aorist tense, thus indicating a once-for-all act. By taking the action they did, these angels made a final and irretrievable decision. They crossed the Rubicon. Their action, says Kenneth Wuest, "was apostasy with a vengeance." (5)

As to the specific sin of these angels, we are given the facts in Jude 7. As in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah it was the sin of "fornication" and it means "going after strange flesh." "Strange" flesh means flesh of a different kind (Greek "heteros"). To commit this particularly repugnant sin, the angels had to abandon their own domain and invade a realm that was divinely forbidden to them. Says Wuest:

"These angels transgressed the limits of their own natures to invade a realm of created beings of a different nature." (6)

Alford confirms:

"It was a departure from the appointed course of nature and seeking after that which is unnatural, to other flesh than that appointed by God for the fulfillment of natural desire."

The mingling of these two orders of being, was contrary to what God had intended, and summarily led to God's greatest act of judgment ever enacted upon the human race.

TEMPTING THE ANGELS

Another New Testament verse may have bearing on Genesis 6. In I Corinthians 11:10, Paul instructs that a woman should cover her head as a sign of subjection to her husband, and also "because of the angels." This observation has intrigued commentators through the years. Why this sudden reference to angels? Could it be a reference to what happened in Genesis 6 where angels succumbed to the inducements and physical charm of the women of Earth? Obviously, Paul believed that an uncovered woman was a temptation even to angels. William Barclay mentions an old rabbinic tradition, which alleges that it was the beauty of the women's long hair that attracted and tempted the angels in Genesis. (6)

STRANGE PARENTAGE

The offspring of this union between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" were so extraordinary that it indicates an unusual parentage. In no way could the progenitors of such beings be ordinary humans. Their mothers possibly could be human, or their fathers, but certainly not both. Either the father or the mother had to be superhuman. Only in such a way can one account for the extraordinary character and prowess of the offspring.

God's law of reproduction, according to the biblical account of creation, is "everything after his kind." God's law makes it impossible for giants to be produced by normal parentage. To produce such monstrosities as the Nephilim presupposes super- natural parentage.

GIANTS?

"Nephilim" is a Hebrew word translated in the Authorized King James version as "giants." "There were giants in the earth in those days" (Genesis 6:4). It is true that they were giants in more senses than one. However, the word Nephilim does not mean "giants." It comes from the root "naphal," meaning "fallen ones," and most modern versions of the Bible have left the word "Nephilim" un-translated.

When the Greek Septuagint was made, "Nephilim" was translated as "gegenes." This word suggests "giants" but actually it has little reference to size or strength. "Gegenes" means "earth born." The same term was used to describe the mythical "Titans" -- being partly of celestial and partly of terrestrial origin. (7)

The Hebrew and the Greek words do not exclude the presence of great physical strength. Indeed, a combined supernatural and natural parentage would imply such a characteristic. Angels, according to Scripture, are known for their power. They are often referred to as "sons of the Mighty" (Psalm 103:20). Therefore, if the ones who sired them were strong and mighty, it could be assumed that their offspring were likewise.

No evidence exists in Scripture that the offspring of mixed marriages (believers and unbelievers) were giants, excelling in great strength and might. No evidence can be found anywhere in history for that matter. Such an interpretation poses impossible assumptions.

When the word "Nephilim" is used in Numbers 13:33, the question of size and strength is explicit. Here we are left in no doubt as to their superhuman prowess. When Joshua's spies reported back from Canaan, they called certain of the inhabitants of Canaan "giants." "And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim, and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

Some commentators have speculated that the Nephilim of Numbers 13 belonged to a second eruption of fallen angels, since the earlier Nephilim had been destroyed in the Flood. And they see an allusion to this in Genesis 6:4, where it states that "there were Nephilim in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men." Could it be that the "after that" was a reference to the Nephilim found in Canaan during the Israelite entry into the land? If so, it could explain why the Lord commanded the total extermination of the Canaanites, as He had earlier ordered the near annihilation of the human race.

NEPHILIM -- NO RESURRECTION

The Book of Isaiah says that the Nephilim and their descendants will not participate in a resurrection as is the portion of ordinary mortals. Isaiah 26:14 reads: "They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise." The original Hebrew word translated "deceased" here is the word "Rephaim." It would have saved a lot of misinterpretation if the translators had left the word as it was in the original. The verse actually reads: "Dead, they shall not live; Rephaim, they shall not rise." The Rephaim are generally understood to be one of the branches of the Nephilim, and God's Word makes it clear that they are to partake in no resurrection. But with humans it is different: all humans will be resurrected either to life or to damnation (John 5:28-29).

We have already seen that the Greek Version of the Old Testament (The Septuagint) translated "Nephilim" as "gegenes;" we shall now inquire how it translates "sons of God." In some of the manuscripts it is left as "sons of God," but in the others-- including the Alexandrian text--it is rendered by the word "angelos." This text was in existence in the time of Christ, but there is no indication that He ever corrected or queried it. Can we not assume from His silence that He agreed with the translation!

RAPE OF THE TEXT

Having studied all the arguments in favor of "sons of Seth," one concludes that the only argument that is valid among them is that of rationality. "Sons of Seth" is an interpretation that is more palatable to human reason. Reason can never subscribe to the incredible notion that fallen angels could have sex relations with women of Earth. Angels have no physical bodies! They do not marry! They belong to an entirely different species of being! The mind revolts against such absurdity. So, what does one do? Settle, of course, for an easy, rational interpretation--sons of Seth and daughters of Cain. But what if the meaning of Scripture is clearly otherwise? There is the rub! Scripture is clearly otherwise! To impose a human interpretation at the expense of the obvious meaning of the divine Word is a rape of the biblical text. Furthermore, when one deals with the world of the supernatural, rationality is never an argument.

JEWISH AND PATRISTIC FATHERS

The Jewish Fathers, when interpreting this expression from Genesis 6:2, invariably interpreted it as "angels." No less an authority than W.F. Allbright tells us that:

"The Israelites who heard this section (Genesis 6.2) recited unquestionably thought of intercourse between angels and women." (8)

Philo of Alexandria, a deeply religious man, wrote a brief but beautiful treatise on this subject, called "Concerning The Giants." Basing his exposition on the Greek version of the Bible, he renders it as "Angels of God." Says Bamberger, "Had he found the phrase 'sons of God' in his text, he most certainly would have been inspired to comment on it." (9)

Philo certainly took the Genesis passage as historical, explaining that just as the word "soul" applies both to good and evil beings, so does the word "angel." The bad angels, who followed Lucifer, at a later point in time failed to resist the lure of physical desire, and succumbed to it. He goes on to say that the story of the giants is not a myth, but it is there to teach us that some men are earth-born, while others are heaven- born, and the highest are God-born. (10)

The Early Church Fathers believed the same way. Men like Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Athenagoras, Tertullian, Lactantius, Eusebius, Ambrose...all adopted this interpretation. In the words of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, the angels fell "into impure love of virgins, and were subjugated by the flesh...Of those lovers of virgins therefore, were begotten those who are called giants." (11) And again, "...the angels transgressed, and were captivated by love of women and begat children." (12)

Nowhere before the 5th century A.D. do we find any interpretation for "sons of God" other than that of angels. We cannot deny the Jewish Fathers knowledge of their own terminology! They invariably translated "sons of God" as "angels." The testimony of Josephus, that colorful cosmopolitan and historian, is also of paramount importance. In his monumental volume, "Antiquities of the Jews," he reveals his acquaintance with the tradition of the fallen angels consorting with women of Earth. He not only knew of the tradition but tells us how the children of such union possessed super human strength, and were known for their extreme wickedness. "For the tradition is that these men did what resembled the acts of those men the Grecians called giants." Josephus goes on to add that Noah remonstrated with these offspring of the angels for their villainy. (13)

Perhaps the most conclusive argument for interpreting the expression as "angels" is the simplest one of all. If the writer of Genesis wanted to refer to the "sons of Seth" he would have just said so. If God had intended that meaning, then the verse would undoubtedly read, "the sons of Seth saw the daughters of Cain that they were fair..." But the Bible meant something far more sinister--the sexual union between angels from Hell and evil women from Earth. Because of the gravity of such a union, and its dire consequences for the human race, God moved to destroy the race before it could destroy itself--except for one family, which had not been contaminated.

THE ULTIMATE SIN

God made man in His own image, the highest of all His earthly creations. While God said that everything He made was good, He considered man very good. Man had been made for fellowship with God Himself, but he soon turned his back upon his Maker and worshipped the creature more than the Creator. Before many generations, this abominable union with demons was polluting the human race. It seemed that Hell and Earth were in league together against the God of Heaven. God's righteous anger was such that He regretted having made man.

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man. ..."(Genesis 6:5-6)

It was specifically because of this ultimate sin that God brought about a deluge of such magnitude that man and beast were drowned from the face of the Earth. In the words of old Joseph Hall:

"The world was so grown foul with sin, that God saw it was time to wash it with a flood: and so close did wickedness cleave to the authors of it, that when they were washed to nothing, yet it would not wash off, yea, so deep did it stick in the very grain of the earth, that God saw it meet to let it soak long under the waters." (14)

WAS NOAH IMMUNE?

Why Noah and his immediate family were the only ones immune from this great judgment is significant. Genesis 6:9 says, "Noah was a just man." He stood out as an example of righteousness and godliness in a perverse age. Like Enoch before him, Noah also "walked with God." But there was another reason why Noah was spared, one that seems to have escaped most commentators. Genesis 6:9 says that Noah was "perfect in his generation." Does this mean moral and spiritual perfection? Hardly. Genesis 9:20-23 disproves any such perfection. What, then, does the Bible mean by calling him "perfect"? The Hebrew word is "tamiym" and comes from the root word "taman." This means "without blemish" as in Exodus 12:5, 29:1, Leviticus 1:3. Just as the sacrificial lamb had to be without any physical blemish, so was Noah's perfection. In its primary meaning, it refers not to any moral or spiritual quality, but to physical purity. Noah was uncontaminated by the alien invaders.

He alone had preserved their pedigree and kept it pure, in spite of prevailing corruption brought about by the fallen angels. (15)

And again:

Noah's bloodline had remained free of genetic contamination. (16)

This implies, of course, that the Nephilim had contaminated all the other families on Earth. It also proves that the assault of Satan on the human race had been far more extensive than realized. It is no wonder that God pronounced such a universal fiat of judgment.

As for the fallen angels who participated in the abomination, God put them in custody "in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day" (Jude 6). This is sometimes interpreted as Tartarus or the "nether realms" (2 Peter 2:4). This would also explain why some fallen angels are in custody and why others are free to roam the heavens and torment mankind.

Such a drastic punishment, both for men and angels, presupposed a drastic sin, something infinitely more evil and more sinister than mixed marriages. It was nothing less than the demonic realm attempting to pervert the human world. By genetic control and the production of hybrids, Satan was out to rob God of the people He had made for Himself.

If Satan had succeeded in corrupting the human race, he would have hindered the coming of the perfect Son of God, the promised "seed of the woman," who would defeat Satan and restore man's dominion (Genesis 3:15). If Satan had by any means prevented that birth, he would obviously have averted his own doom. Satan did succeed to a large extent. It was for this reason that God drowned mankind in the Deluge.

ARE ANGELS SEXLESS?

Interpreting the "sons of God" as fallen angels, the question immediately arises--do angels marry? In Matthew 22:30, Jesus said angels neither marry nor are given in marriage. This seems a clear and emphatic negative. However, it does not preclude the possibility of such a thing happening--obviously contrary to the will of God. And it does not preclude fallen angels, who had rebelled against God already, from cohabiting with women of Earth, as the Scriptures state.

Some interpret the words of Jesus as meaning that angels do not marry among themselves. Is it because they are all male? Or is it because celestial beings are deathless and thus need no offspring. Only terrestrial beings need to find immortality in their children. (17) But if they do not need to marry and procreate, is it still possible that they could engage in sexual acts; if not among themselves then with human spouses? Jude seems quite explicit on the matter: the angels left their own habitation, and gave themselves over to fornication, going after strange flesh. In other words, they were capable of performing human functions--eating, drinking, walking, talking, even sexual activity and fathering children.

The fact that angels do not marry does not in itself prove they are sexless. Throughout the Bible, angels are referred to only as men. Finis Drake writes: "It is logical to say...that the female was created specifically for the human race in order that it could be kept in existence; and that all angels were created males, in as much as their kind is kept in existence without the reproduction process. Angels were created innumerable to start with (Hebrews 12:22) whereas, the human multitudes began with one pair." (18)

Even in the next world, when the saints will dwell in their resurrection body and live forever, it does not imply that they will be sexless. The Bible teaches that everyone will have his own body in the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:35-38). No suggestion is made that they will be unsexed. Furthermore, Christ remained a man after His resurrection.

DEMONS AT LARGE

One other question has been raised. If the fallen angels who lusted after women of Earth in Genesis 6 have been interred in Tartarus with "everlasting chains," how does one explain the demons who have been operating since then? They seemed to have been quite active during the ministry of Jesus, and are busy again in our day. Following this reasoning, some share the conclusion of Kent Philpott:

However one might wish to interpret Genesis 6: 1-4 to link this passage with the verses in 2 Peter and Jude seems to post far more problems than it would solve. But 2 Peter 2.4 and Jude 6 clearly assert that the rebellious angels are being kept prisoner in the "nether gloom." If they are prisoners, they could not very well function as the demons are described as functioning in the New Testament. (19)

But Philpott failed to see that there are two categories of fallen angels: Those cast out of Heaven with Lucifer, and who are still free to torment mankind; and those who fell the second time by committing carnal acts with the daughters of men. The spirits in this second category are those chained in the nether regions.

It seems clear to me that the "sons of God" are none other than fallen angels, and, because of their further sin of lusting after the "daughters of men," many were imprisoned by God. Both the near annihilation of the human race and the incarceration of the fallen angels in Tartarus indicate the magnitude of the sin they committed. By such drastic judgment, God saved the human race from a calamity worse than the physical death originally imposed upon them.

THE ABOVE IS ONLY A SPECULATION AND NOT THE TRUTH 

THE TRUTH

SONS OF GOD & GIANTS

[Genesis 6:4] The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.

When it comes to giants and the sons of God the supposed (Apocrypha) Books of Enoch contain a complete nonsense. The sons of God are the pure descendants of Adam. Adam, God’s first son (according to scripture) had sons after him and these were simply called sons of God. Many have implied that the ‘sons of God’ from Genesis 6:4 were angels. Yes they were, but not like the invisible ones, winds, flames and spirits, but visible, Adam’s pure and unadulterated seed. Adam was a different type of an angel, an angel that meant to inhabit the earth in physical form. His body was made out of dust, compatible with the earth.

The cosmic dust which is locked in meteors and comets contains many minerals which our bodies posses and need. But the vivifying force within the body is the spirit of life. Adam and his children lived almost a 1000 years, which symbolizes eternity. They lived so long because of the spiritual properties. Their bodies were agile, not only light in weight, but also in glow. The cosmic mineral content in bones, sinews and cartilages was much less dense than that of ours today, which was the result of the merge as spoken of in Genesis 6.

Our bodies conduct electricity due to the mineral content, like iron, magnesium or copper. Not only the water we drink and retain that contains ‘cosmic dust’ but also our blood. These combined properties cause conductivity and are subject to gravitational pulls.

Therefore aging and gradual decay has something to do with gravity. We may also assume that gravity has become denser with time. The very fact that the continents move and tectonic plates make them ‘travel’ and also the earth’s tilt was different then, gives us a pretty good idea as to what sort of an environment Eden might have been. 

At a European Space Agency conference in Bergen, Norway, scientists have unveiled the most detailed map yet of the Earth's gravity. It is also known that gravity is stronger in some parts of the world like around Greenland or the Indian Ocean. 

Those that spent much time in space, zero gravity, slowed the process of aging. Not all, of course, because another major factor plays a role here—thought processes, feelings, expressions, which can pollute us (Jesus said)—these create positive or negative ions. Every single person I met that was sick with cancer told me about prolonged periods of sadness, depression and unhappiness. Many of them died young. The negative ions attracted negativism of many sorts and one of them is deep seeded fear.

A clear example of skewed gravity and warped time is Santa Cruz, California. It is called the "Mystery Spot" where balls roll uphill, chairs sit on walls and people lean over backward so that they no longer can see their shoes, yet they don't fall down. Trees grow branches only on one side. People appear shorter than they really are or taller depending on their position within that area.

Time slows down inside the spot. It’s been proven beyond reasonable doubt that time is a real physical dimension therefore time can be manipulated. Indeed, time itself is an illusion for it is temporary it was created for intervals between physical objects. But since distances change; time also changes. Planet earth moves and keeps on changing. The recent Japan quake not only changed the ocean floor but also global time.

It’s been discovered and measured that time becomes slower inside the mystery spot by at least 3 minutes and 40 seconds per 24 hour day! In other words it drags. Now, let’s count this interval, which is about 4 minutes over 100 years. By multiplying 365 days times 60 minutes, times 24 hours, we then come to 525,600 minutes. By adding 3 minutes and 40 seconds to each minute, making one hour to be 63 minutes and 40 seconds and then we multiply it by each day of 24 minutes; the increase of time gives us an extra 29784 minutes, which when divided by 24 it adds up to 1241 days, which is roughly 3 years and 4 months. Let’s add now the 3 years and 4 months to an average human lifespan, which is about 80 or 29,440 days. 80 years times 3.4 years gives us 272 years. If that is so then by adding only 4 years to the average lifespan of 80 years we come up with 320 years and so on. No wonder that our great ancestors the Adamic people lived almost millennia. By adding 10 years to an average lifespan we have 800 years, which was roughly Adam’s age when he died. But the average lifespan in those days was much higher, plus one must take into account factors of distinction like gravity, sunlight, food and air pollution; these play also a role in longevity.

Note: More on illusion in the next section.

Yes, time indeed can slow down in certain places and at different intervals of time including gravitational spots. But that’s not what we are busy with right now. We are after the truth about the essence of our beings in the spiritual context; for thoughts, words and emotions indeed play a much greater role than the physical factors on this earth.     

Jesus said, (Matthew 15:18-20) “The things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”

Because of these things God limited the lifespan to 120 years, not because of the external circumstances, but rather because of the above self-destructive factors.

[Genesis 6:5] Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (unabated).

Negativism attracts negativism and positivism attracts positivism. People cannot break lose of mentioning the devil when they mention God and His wonderful works He does; and still wants to do in our midst. “Be careful” they say and run back to their own ‘security zone’ simply because they do not know the truth, which would have made them free from all insecurity and fear. 

We hinder God for we love theology more than Him for He wants to be sought and called upon. We wobble by having one leg stuck in the quagmire of falsehood, never realizing the fact that God Himself created Satan; God is completely sovereign over all and not over just one part of His heaven; and the other leg is then in the illusion of presumption.

What is that presumption or assumption? Most truly lie about having personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It’s only a confession of one’s creed, as if an adopted belief makes it real. No. It doesn’t. When someone really knows God, one knows the truth about Him, His Kingdom, His laws that govern the Universe; one uses His logic and never one’s own. It is His gift to us and we only use that gift by grace and not by appropriation for we possess and control nothing. Our identity is in the Creator and we belong to Him and in Him we live and move and have our being. Within this belonging one uses the God given truthful thinking. From time to time one (you) will experience His guidance and will hear Him speak. Our (your) consciousness will no longer be ritualistic or religious in any way, but true, just as He wants you to be. In time you will conform to His ‘image’ and become like Him.  

[John 8:51 “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”  

The genealogy of Jesus begins with Joseph, who was not His natural Father. Since the Bible makes it clear that God is Spirit and has no form. Israel was forbidden to make any image of Him in any shape or form; therefore the same Spirit that made physical Adam had also made the second Adam, Jesus Christ. People who believe in the creation of Adam, but at the same time have difficulties believing in virgin birth, seem to contradict themselves.  

John 4:22 God is Spirit…

The same imageless God who made Adam also created the Son of Man - Jesus (Ben Adam) - within the existing genetic makeup. Jesus, as God’s Word always existed, for through Him the world was made (Hebrews 1:2). He was deposited into Mary’s womb and brought forth like any other human being accept for one fact, He had the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

When we come to genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:23-38 we see something that hardly anyone pays attention to.

(V. 23) He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli, (…)

(V.38) …The son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. 

Adam is called the son of God, because God made Him according to His image and likeness (Hebrew TZELEM).

[Genesis 4:25-26]  Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.” To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

[Genesis 5:3] When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

Just as Adam was made according to God’s TZELEM (mirror reflection), who is Spirit, so was Seth also. Particularly, God traces the line of Seth (now) and leaves off the line of Cain as if uninteresting. Later on in time we find the words of Jesus who said, (Matthew 7:22) So then, you will know them by their fruits.

Seth was the replacement of Abel whom Cain killed. Just as the Holy Spirit is the replacement of Jesus whom the Kenites killed. Jesus has not orphaned us; He came to us in the person of the Holy Spirit.  

Through an extensive and meticulous study of God’s Word we conclude that the mentioned-by-Jesus tares must be those of Cain’s line also called Kenites.

Note: About the sequence of creation and genealogical lines of all peoples found upon our planet earth one can take a fantastic journey in time with the book entitled “Triumphant Gene” by the same author.

God Himself possesses no physical body, for if He had, then He would not have commanded us to not MAKE any image or likeness for IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS HE HAD MADE US therefore anything void of physical imagery must be spiritual and can only be spiritually grasped. (Read Deuteronomy 4:15-31, Isaiah 40:18 & John 4:22-24) Pagan nations always carved physical gods out of stone, metal and wood while today's idols are made out of rubber and plastic, but also in our minds. 

Angels do not possess reproductive organs for they are both masculine and feminine and when they do appear in our hemisphere people perceive them to be one or the other, masculine or feminine. In heaven we shall be like angels again, genderless. Angels do not marry and produce no angelic offspring. This fact invalidates the absurd notions of angels, winds, spirits and flames, having copulated with flesh-and-blood women.

[Matthew 22:30] “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.  

Conclusively the sons of God must have been the Adam’s seed the first son of God for only this seed was commanded to populate the earth. Angels did not receive such command; had they received it then Genesis 6 would have not left much to speculate on. Therefore the obvious conclusion is that the sons of God were the original uncontaminated seed of Adam.

[Genesis 6:3] Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he ALSO is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

Apparently the ALSO has a great meaning for it is not a typo or mistranslation, it is there in the original Hebrew text of the Bible. The “also” means that not only Cain married outside Adam’s family and mixed his genes with the non-Adamic tribes, which existed long before the creation of Adam, but also, to some extent, Seth’s line got mixed. As a result of this clash of genes several nations of giants were born.

Note: Ancient Sumerian clay tablets (Berlin Museum) mention the sudden appearance of unusually tall and beautiful people with long faces. These were the sons of Adam or sons of God.

This, until now, was an ancient rabbinical secret never reveled to Christians who anyway were not interested in anything Jewish. The interest in Jewish things started quite recently, but as it transpires it is a little one-sided, just to be blessed with success and financial prosperity. Not all people come from Adam. That’s the truth.

Note: The sons of God, not daughters, were the ones who joined the non-Adamic race therefore a clan, tribe and eventually nation is named after the father, not the mother. Adam’s seed comes from son to son and so does his name. From this connection comes Noah the righteous. In Noah’s loins we have already the three: the seed, the tares and the field. (As portrayed by Jesus in Matthew 13.)

The seed of God passed through Adam’s son Seth, who as already said, was the replacement of the righteous Abel. That righteous line appears throughout the entire Bible in genealogies in Noah, Abraham, Moses, the prophets and also Jesus. 

It seems as if the scientific data collides with the Bible, but it is not so. One needs to read it under a larger magnifying glass and use God’s gift of logic to find it. I tend to paint a fuller picture than most would dare. Since the scientists claim that it was an evolutionary process that shaped humans we might agree with them, but only to a certain point. The physical garments (genetic makeup) of other non-Adamic peoples might have been other than those mentioned in Genesis.  

Science confirms that about 5800 years ago people started to grow big brain, and every one wanted it like the new cell phone today.

Note: From the department of Human genetics (http://genes.uchicago.edu/lahn.html)

Bruce Lahn’s paper on the recent evolution of the human brain asserts that new versions of two genes are currently spreading through the human population, and that these genes are more prevalent in some geographic regions than others. He has speculated that these genes may be linked to brain size and intelligence and has wondered if the mutations—one of which took place roughly 40,000 years ago, the other, 5,800 years ago—correlate with the development of art, written language, and the founding of cities.

Scientific data points to the first human habitats of about 40,000 years ago, which would predate the biblical account of Adam (6000 years ago) but that would explain the existence of people like the Sumerians. It would also explain Cain’s words to God, (Genesis 4:14) “…whoever finds me will kill me.” Most certainly he did not speak of his own family, but rather of those preexisting ruthless people that lived from violence.

God abhors all forms of violence; that’s why the Bible says that He is loving and compassionate; He is peace and joy. Sin is hurt and violence, which came to earth through Cain who never showed any remorse for his sin. When Cain mixed with other peoples then violence covered the globe. Women lusted after those handsome men and they got them… with God’s permission of course. Although it seems as if it had displeased the Lord that Adam’s seed ALSO became flesh, nevertheless God permitted it.

Dr. Lahn’s researches examined the DNA of 1,184 people around the world — though not in racially mixed areas like North America, Russia and Australia. They estimated that one undamaged variation, microcephalin haplogroup D (let us call it variation one, or V1) first appeared around 40,000 BC and has since spread to some 70 percent of humans.

A second variant of the gene, abnormal spindle-like microcephaly, associated haplo group D (let us call it V2), arrived more recently, around 6,000 BC, and has since spread to 30 percent of humans, most common in Europe and the Middle East…

The ‘abnormal’ gene I call unusual or unique for that’s when the mix occurred.

To be holy means to be separate and that is the reason why throughout the Bible we are called to holiness. It has nothing to do with race or flesh, but rather the avoidance of spiritual and intellectual contamination.

It greatly displeased the Lord when He saw how we used the power of dominion upon the earth. Human corruption occurred not because they got mixed up with people they not supposed to, but rather that they borrowed and adopted their violent animal like ways. Gross depravity tilted the scales. God chose a descendant of Seth and Enosh, Noah the righteous. God did not say replenish (KJV) the earth, but (original Hebrew: Ma’ale) fill the earth. Fill the earth with what? – With your righteous kind, but instead, the earth had undergone a baptismal cleansing. Already in Noah those genes resided, in his wife and his sons’ wives hence:

[Genesis 6:4]  The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward…

Yes, God permitted it all, otherwise those other, non-Adamic people, would’ve been nonexistent yet they were there when God created something new with Adam. A study of purely hereditary structures of the body is NO PROOF at all, simply because LIFE ITSELF is not studied. Life is spirit and if this spirit cannot be studied. We must follow quite a different line of thought. Mind the fact that in Genesis 1:26 the spiritual man is created FIRST! IN Genesis 2:7 the PHYSICAL man is formed out of the ground.

The descendants of Abel and Seth were allowed to join other women of the non-Adamic kind.

The giants were called by different nations as: Nephilim, Anakim, Rephaim, Emim, Zumzim, Zuzim and Zamzumim. As it is today we see that when one contacts the unusual, one begins to pay attention to details. So some called the ‘Anakim’ as people with long necks. The ‘Rephaim’ were interpreted as shadowy figures. The ‘Emim’ provoked fear so their names meant horror and terror. The name ‘Zamzumim’ mean tribes that make noise and were perceived as evil out of pure fright.

When God sent spies to Canaan the land of Cain upon seeing the giants one group trembled in fright, yet Joshua and Caleb did not experience the same. They noticed something amusing, for the fear of the Almighty God was already upon all the inhabitants of the land. Joshua and Caleb did not perceive the giants to be evil or aggressive. We assume that the twelve spies were singled out from each tribe. Since Joshua and Caleb were the ones that believed God it would be worthwhile to see what was their background.

Moses, Aaron and Miriam come from the priestly family. Moses's successor, Joshua the son of Nun an Ephraimite, was under Eleazar the priest.  Now, Caleb the son of Jephunneh the son of Kenizzite was from Judah and had something to do also with Kenites.

According to Genesis 15:19 Kenizzites are Kenites - descendents of Cain joined Judah. The rest of the spies incurred God's wrath. Today only Judah and the Levites survived and are simply called Jews. Where are the ten tribes? Yes, they intermixed and are gone. But look how God used a Kenite, a man of valor who possessed the city of the giants, Hebron.  Thanks to the Kenite tribe among them, Judah survived as a people.

[Deuteronomy 8:18] “But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Obviously it is a matter of choice and of drawing the right substance. Joshua and Caleb did exactly that; they were indeed mighty overcomers.

I also have Kenite genes in me, I am sure of it 100%, the ability to survive and to prosper is very present, but I am not in love with that which only gleams for a short while, but with something of a much higher value.

The ancient mighty stone structures we can still witness today, as those in Egypt, Mexico, Europe, Israel and the city of Jerusalem itself are most likely the work of those gigantic superhuman beings. The descendants of Nephilim most likely transported those awesome stones. At the Western Wall in Jerusalem several stones are so gigantic that today’s technology has no answer as to how these stones were transported. Since no iron tool was used at the construction site of Solomon’s temple and the stones had to be precut at the quarries and then transported over and up to Mt. Moriah no one was able to accomplish this task except… perhaps the giants. Besides having great size they also possessed angelic-like qualities, which was agility.  

Angels in heaven have different sizes some are very toll others seem to be quite of a normal human size. Adam, the very first God's son from whom Abel and Seth were born, was very much like an angel. And since he was to inhabit the physical earth he had to be made compatible with the earth. Just as angels in heaven were created to serve the invisible God in the spiritual realm they also serve us on earth but discreetly.  

God repented and grieved and in His grief He decided to continue until the remnant of His people returns to Him, triumphant and glorious. All others, like stubble, will cease to exist.  The refining spiritual process continues.

One can clearly see that genes carry the information, or the awareness of good and evil. Through it comes the knowledge how to handle life. Those that handled evil, trying to outsmart and outrun the other, through conniving and plotting, like Jezebel did, these God cut off. Only Noah had handled correctly this precious knowledge and remained righteous, thereby he was saved. However, what was in His loins already bore various fruit later on, Canaan, Japheth, Ham and Shem.           

The Biblical record seems to be ‘obsessed’ with genealogy. Genes carry the original seed, and the Bible is the actual account of the righteous Adamic seed mixed with the field and the tares and then it is being traced down the patrimonial line until Jesus and then on to His spiritual offspring.

As the giants intermarried with same size people, the other offspring of Adam looked quite normal and blended with the general population of the earth. As a result of inbreeding giants and their genes waned.

[Numbers 24:21-22] And he looked at the Kenite, and took up his discourse and said, “your dwelling place is enduring, and your nest is set in the cliff.”

Constantly in danger yet secure, because of the sign God had appointed for Cain. (Genesis 4:15) 

[V. 22] “Nevertheless Kain (obviously Cain) (Kenites KJV) will be consumed (Hebr. Ba’ar to burn, consume, kindle, be kindled); how long will Asshur keep you captive?”

The burning reference is obvious.

Matthew 13:30 “Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.”

[V. 40] “So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.

Noah disciplined himself and educated his family. We conclude therefore that the knowledge of God makes us into spiritual giants or overcomers. An overcomer must have an obstacle to cross over, a river to ford and a mountain to climb; otherwise he cannot be called an overcomer.

In Genesis 6:5 we read about the intent of the thoughts of the heart. Every thought was evil and every heart’s intent produced evil actions, which is violence. It is obvious that the managing of thoughts had proven to be quite difficult, perhaps impossible to the first mixed generation of people. A complete obliteration was not only necessary, but it was an act of God’s grace for it is better for you to perish then pollute the earth. Raping children and permanently scarring them is not the way God planned our dominion upon this planet. Had God not eliminated the violent with his violence we would have inherited the most base and primitive genetic makeup. But thank God for His intervention. It all comes down to our will and choice. Choose rightly today my friend. Choose rightly.  

Look now at this clear knowledge! We are able to CHOOSE again the ORIGINAL SEED OF ADAM THE FIRST SON OF GOD and choose the good. 

      

Philip the Evangelist tapped into this angelic line within the pool of his righteous genes and was translated from place to place by God’s Spirit; his daughters, as it written in Acts 21:9 were prophetesses.

This knowledge is released now to you so that you might embrace one and distance yourself from the other. We must return to this potent message of the Messiah for His power is not diminished.
