Bible Note: Conclusion Regarding Angels The wickedness of man in the days of Noah. Gen 6 Chapter (1-2) Intermarriage between the sons of God and the daughters of men. During these days of rapid population expansion especially because of long life spans in the pre-flood world, there was a problem with ungodly intermarriage between the sons of God and the daughters of men. Many people have understood that the sons of God were those from the line of Seth, and the daughters of men were from the line of Cain, and this describes an intermarriage between the godly and ungodly - something God Specifically prohibits (Deu 7:-4; 2 Cor 6:14) but this approach leaves many unanswered questions: Why did this make God angry enought to wipe out almost all the earth's population? Why was there something "unnatural" about the offspring of there unions? The phrase sons of God Clearly refers The angelic creatures when it is used the three other times in the OT (Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7). The translators of the Septuagint translated sons of God as "angels"; they clearly thought it referred to angelic beings, not the line of Seth. Jude 6 tells us of the angesls who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own habitation; Jude goes on (7) to tell us that they sinned in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual unnatural sexual union. It is useless to speculate on the nature of the union. Whether it was brought about by something like demon possession, or whether angels have power permanently to assume the form of men is not revealed. But we should understand that the occult is filled with sexual associations with demonic, and there are those today who actively pursue such associations. Jude 6 also makes it clear what God did with these wicked angels: they are reserved in everlasting chains under darkness from the judgment of the great day. By not keeping their proper place, they are now kept in chains-their sinful persuit of freedom has put them in bondage. 1 Peter 3:19-20 tells us that Jesus went to these disobedient spirits in their prison and proclaimed His victory on the cross over them. An objection offered to theis understanding is found in Matt 22:30, Where Jesus said that angels neither marry nor given in marriage; but Jesus never said that ANGELS WERE SEXLESS, and He was also speaking about faithful angels (angels of God in heaven), not rebellious one. From the book of 1 Enoch, which is not inspired scripture by man, but may still contain some accurate accounts: "And it came to pass the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said one another: 'Come, let us choose for himself one, and they began to go unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments...And they became pregnant, and they bared great giants...And there arose much godlessness, and they commited fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways." Why would satan send his angels to intermarry(either directly or indirectly with human women? Satan was trying to pollute the genetic "pool" of mankind with a satanic corruption; to put a genetic "virus" that would make the human race unfit for bring forth the Seed of the woman-the Messiah-promised in Gen 3:15. "The Savior could not be born of a demon-possessed mother. So if satan could succeed in infecting the entire race, the deliverer could not could not come." And, satan almost succeed; the race was so polluted that God found it necessary to start again with Noah and his sons, and imprison the demons who did this, so they could never do so again. 3-4 God's first promises that His Spirit shall not strive with man forever; this means that there is a point of "no return" in our rejection of God. God will not woo us forever, there is a point where He will say "no more". Verse four refers to the unnatrual offspring of the union between the sons of God and the daughters of men; though there were people of unusual size on the earth both before and after the flood (and also afterward), these before the flood were unique because of the demonic element of their parentage-they were the might men of old, men of renown. I pray that this be a Blessing to those who are seeking of God word of truth. To who the reader may be...Study and show yourself approved unto 'God' and workman the need not to be ashame but rightly dividing the word of truth. II Tim 2:15 The reference you need is in the Word of God. My answer is "YES" angels can produce offspring if God the Father allows or permits it. But there's a price for disobedient and rebellious angels, demons, peoples, and etc. Don't take my words, take God's word. When you study. Let your spirit lead you to the material to read or study.
