Subject: How did Nephilims come into existance? |
Bible Note: Angels? Sorry, doesn't fit. Look at my note on Genesis 6:1-4 about the identity of the Sons of God. It will explain most of this for you. As for the Niphillim being the children of the Sons of God and Daughters of Men, you need to read the passage again. It clearly says that the Niphillim were on the earth when the Sons of God came to the Daughters of Men, and that the Niphillim continued to exist after that. So, the Niphillim weren't the offspring, they are given as a time reference so that you may know when this even took place. The original audience for Genesis would have clearly understood the reference. The offspring were the Mighty men of Old and Men of Renown, Not the Niphillim. Jesusman |
