AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame). [Num 13:33] |
Subject: Before the Flood |
Bible Note: Robert, Thanks. What got me thinking about it was 1. there was a couple of thousand years between Adam and Noah, and we know that even from the beginning they had high culture and music (Gen 4:19) 2. if anybody in those days began a project, they generally lived to be old enough to see it through. So by the time of Noah, surely it's possible they were advanced way beyond what we can imagine, but any evidence must have been destroyed by the flood. |
