Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/span><span><em>(Genesis 6:1-4)(NASB)<\/em><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span>Text analysis<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>When analyzing the text in its context the following things become clear:<\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<span>Angels are not mentioned here.<\/span> <\/li>\n<li>\n<span>It is made a distinction between the sons of God and the rest of the people<\/span> <\/li>\n<li>\n<span>When men multiplied on the earth the sons of God began to interact with them<\/span> <\/li>\n<li>\n<span>Preceding chapters show that at that time the world was\u00a0divided into two categories: the descendants of Cain and Adam\u2019s descendants.<\/span> <\/li>\n<li>\n<span>When the sons of God\u00a0came in to\u00a0the daughters of men, they bore children who\u00a0were born \u201cmighty men who were of old, men of renown\u201d, that means that\u00a0people were born.<\/span> <span>The fact the the sons of God took\u00a0as their wives the daughters of men caused the anger of God who said: \u201cMy Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.\u201d Thus, in the following verse God calls these sons of God\u00a0\u201cmen\u201d.<\/span> <\/li>\n<li>\n<span>The choice of the sons of God to\u00a0take wives of the daughters of men because they\u00a0were beautiful,\u00a0was a choice of the sinful flesh.<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span>Conclusion:<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Based on what I have\u00a0studied and observed, I personally have concluded that the sons of God were men of\u00a0Adam\u2019s descendants who had the\u00a0Spirit of God, who hadn\u2019t come in to the daughters of men of\u00a0Cain\u2019s descendants before\u00a0(who no longer had the Spirit of God) and who hadn\u2019t been\u00a0come led by the\u00a0the sinful flesh before.<\/span> <span>Since the sons\u00a0of God came in to\u00a0the daughters of men, evil\u00a0affected the sons of God even more\u00a0and it was growing enormously on earth, as the following verse says:<\/span> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p><span><span class=\"google-src-text\" style=\"direction: ltr;text-align: left\">Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.<\/span><\/span><span> (Genesis 6:5)(NASB)<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>This is the first story from the Bible about marriages between believers and those who do not seek God\u2019s face.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><em>Translated by Felicia
