Chapter 19 SONS OF GOD: WHETHER THERE WERE THEY PEOPLE?

One of outstanding persons of the First world was Enoch, born in 3318 year B.C. I should like that the God’s people knew, what was engaged Enoch and how he has pleased God, Heb.11:5. “When men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, - is told in the Bible, - that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose”, Gen.6:2. Now among believers is in use one concept according which sons of God are «the righteous persons that lived before the flood», and daughters of men are «unjust women». But in the Bible it is told, that righteous persons who would be called as sons of God, at that time did not exist at all as there was a great wickedness in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, Gen.6:5. Also it is told, that people neglected the Lord, Gen.6:3. However, some of people, during lifetime of Adam, called the name of the Lord, sometimes prayed to him, Gen.4:26, but nobody named these people “sons of God”. If they existed, would enter into the ark together with Noah. As a last resort, would escape though one of their descendants, but it was not. So who is named in this place of the Bible by “sons of God”?

In some places of the Bible it is told, how the Lord sits in the heaven, how round him there are Angels and how the Lord talks to them. Some examples:

«And he (Prophet Micah) said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another (spirit) said on that manner», 1Ki.22:19.

And here one more similar conversation of the Lord with Angels: «Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence you have come? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it», Job, 1:6. Conversation again, as we see, occurs in the heaven where the Lord sits. The Satan has come from the earth, where he went, to appear before the Lord. Standing near to the Lord is named by SONS OF GOD. But, after all, those are Angels, troops (or the host) heavenly. Sons of God regularly come to appear before the Lord, Job, 1:6, 2:1. And here still words of the Lord which bring full clearness in a question about who are sons of God - the Lord asks: «… who laid the corner stone thereof ( of Earth) when the morning stars sang together, and ALL THE SONS OF GOD shouted for joy?», Job, 38:6. In this place of the Scripture the Lord tells, how He lays the foundation of the Earth, has laid the measures (that is has defined the sizes and weight to all globe) and how has put its first stone. It is a question of creation of the Earth which occurred in the first Day of creation when any man did not exist yet at all, but already there were sons of God, before which eyes the God created the Earth and which rejoiced, seeing creation of God. Sons of God here are named by “morning stars” and speech as it is visible, there are about Angels, and it has nothing to do with «antediluvian righteous persons» …

«There were giants in the earth in those days, - the Bible speaks, (people almost of four meters height), and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them», Gen.6:4. It should be clear to each sane believer, that with marriage «righteous men with unjust women» giants never are born. Perhaps in this case, sons of God are understood as the sinned angels? Yes, such is unvarnished and without distortions the Bible truth. About destiny of these angels, about that, how many they were and about preaching of Enoch to them, have already been told in the chapter of 4th. A fragment from preaching of Enoch it is possible to read from Jude Epistle, 14 and 15 verses. For faith and the preaching of Enoch God had translated him that he should not see death, Heb.11:5.

 You have got acquainted with one more page from life of the First world. “The world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished”, 2Pet.3:6 for it was the world of the ungodly, 2Pet.2:5. The same forces have been involved in the Flood beginning, as in the third Day of creation. The difference was that land areas now sink while sea-bottom areas rose: the earth took a form which was in the beginning of 3rd Day of creation. Simultaneously condensed also have spilt on the earth in the form of 40-day rain of water of the steam cover. Because of the ungodly the earth has suffered also: with disappearance of the hotbed cover the earth climate has sharply changed: cold which never was on the earth kept away, have come. Impious inhabitants of the First world had no need in heating and did not prepare fire wood, unless for cooking. Woods were full of game. In unusually fine conditions plants, at least, in 10 times the present exceeding by size grew. As a matter of fact, their every need is catered for, not applying special work. However, their level of material security how many was high, their moral level was so low, - if it is worth mention it at all. Noah there was the fine preacher of righteousness, 2Pet.2:5, but any of ungodly inhabitants of the First world not repented! That left world remembered only Noah also his family, still some time after the Flood while were live. In 101 year after the Flood when people in a sufficient measure multiplied and have extended on whole then single earth, the God has divided the earth (land) into some present continents, thus a part of people there was on one continent, and a part - on others. It is no wonder therefore, that Columbus, having reached a lot of coast of America of years later, has found there people whom he named Indians. In Australia also from time immemorial lived local population, natives. Soon after earth division have ended first 2000 of the existence of the mankind, but the seventh Day of rest proceeded.
