Bible Question:
1peter chapter 3 verse 19 through whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison. Who are the spirits in this verse? |
Bible Answer: Hello Lydia, It appears to me your question way back in February may not have been correctly answered. The Spirits referred to in verse 19 ch. 3 of 1Peter are the angels(sons of God) from Gen 6:2,4 which took daughters of men for wives and had children who were giants(nephilim in Hebrew). Compare 2Pet2:4 and Jude 6 which are considered to be toghether with this verse. They are the fallen angels which were evidently great in size, as well as great in wickedness, They were superhuman, abnormal beings; and their destruction was necessary for the preservation of the human race, and for the faithfulness of Jehovah's Word(Gen3:15). This is why the Flood was brought "upon the world of the ungodly"(2Pet2:5) as prophesied by Enoch(Jude 14). Hope this helps. Peace, Casiv |
