Angels given in
marriage?
By Eric William King
In the
ancient book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, we read about an event that happened long ago. Angelic celestial beings came down and took human females
in marriage. They created a hybrid offspring called the Hans Nephilim.
The story goes like this…….
A time came
towards the last part of this Antediluvian
Dispensation when “…the Sons of God saw that the daughters of men were
beautiful, and they married any of them that they chose.” (Genesis 6:1-2) Who
were these “Sons of God” (Hebrew: Bne-Ha-Elohim)? They are not the sons of
Seth. Seth’s descendants lived with Cain’s descendants. Though Cain’s offspring
had more proclivities to sin, both Cain’s and Seth’s offspring were sinners.
They intermingled.
The phrase “Sons of God” in the Old Testament is a
reference to celestial angels. If Cain
and Seth’s offspring intermarried and had children there is no reason for this
to create “giants” or “Mighty Men”.
So both Cain
and Seth with their descendents are “sons of men” from the Adamic race. The “Sons of God” that “noticed the daughters of men” (Hebrew:
Bnoth-Ha-Adam) were angelic beings who came down and took on flesh bodies. They
ended up having relationships with human
females which created a hybrid offspring called in the Hebrew,
“Hans-Nephilim” which means “giants”
and “Hog-Gibborim” which means “Mighty
Men”.
“Nephilim” comes from the prime root “to
fall”, contextually meaning “fallen
angels”.
But angels can’t get
married?
The
rebellious angels that “took on flesh”
to have intercourse with human females did this by force. God did not
originally create angels to be in marriage relationships with humans. So
clearly these angels were in deep sin.
Satan
placed a wrong desires in these angels. They were willing to give up their
place in heaven to fulfill the sinful desire. These “Sons
of God” have been punished for this sin. We have to remember that
before God created humans He created angelic beings. These beings (“Sons of God”)
were with God when He first created the perfect earth (Job 38:4-7). Since the
fall of man angelic beings have been involved with humanity and the plan of
God. These angels made a very bad decision that God allowed to happen.
These angels
that committed this horrendous sin have been punished. According to the New
Testament book of Jude they are being held in “chains” in “darkness” (Jude
6-7). While these evil angels are being held Satan’s angels are allowed to
“roam the earth” under Satan’s command. Satan and his angels also have access
to the “first” and “second” heavens (Earth’s atmosphere & Outer Space).
So these
angels which “left their first estate”
(Jude 6) to have intercourse with human women are being held in a spiritual
place called Tartaros (2 Peter 2:4-5).
Tartaros was known by the Greeks to be a “nether world” comparable to Hades. This angelic sin with human kind was so terrible that
God decided to wipe clean the part of the earth that they all lived on so He
did. God brought forth his servant Noah to warn the people
that a Great Flood was coming and
that all the land would be consumed by water.
True angels
in Heaven are not “given in marriage”
nor “married”. The pure angels remain
within the original plan and will of God. All resurrected saints will have
glorified bodies and will not be married like humans are in the flesh.” Jesus said that humans in their resurrected bodies
will be like the angels who are “in Heaven” who do not need
marriage (Matthew 22:29-32).
Act of Disobedience and
Consequence
The Bible
states that what these angels did was comparable to the sexual sins of Sodom and Gomorrah (Jude 6,7).
Unfortunately Hybrid babies were born
from these Hans Nephilim and they became
the bullies of the land. This went on until;
“The Lord saw how great mans
wickedness on earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of
his heart was only evil all the time.
The Lord
was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with
pain.” (Genesis 6:5-6)
God called
Noah from the Adamic race. Noah was wise, full of experience and close to God.
God instructed Noah to build a first class ship, a giant ark. This ship
would hold all the animals from the region. God instructed Noah; “I am going to
put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of
them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth (land).” (Genesis
6:13)
And so it
was.
