**”as in the days of Noah”... The human genome was corrupted by fallen angels... until Noah and his family were the only ones left with purely human DNA.**
That’s a popular private interpretation, imho. So with that theory, AFTER the flood how did giants such as Goliath come about? I believe selective breeding, (or, as in Illinois giant Robert Wadlow’s case, gland malfunctions).
When you read Genesis chapter 5, you are introduced to the fact that people were living as long as 800-900 years. With no solid evidence of his exact age at death, Solomon is thought to have lived about 60 years, yet had 300 wives and 700 concubines. He accumulated that many in about 40 years. And why did he? Because he could.
With the possibility of living 800+ years, how many wives could some men acquire? I say some, because of advantage, could have as many as they want, just like Gen. 6:2-4 testifies. Whereas God’s design was one man and one woman. As was surely seen in animals, man certainly realized he could do selective breeding to have taller children. And in those days of work and war accomplished with manpower, the giants were king of the hill, so to speak. (Nowadays, the gun is a great equalizer.)
And Devil’s power is in deception, as shown with Eve. He needed God’s permission to wreak havoc on Job.
In Genesis 6, there is no mention of God rebuking Satan and his demons, only God condemning mankind’s behavior, and greatly reducing man’s lifespan. And the soul of man is a son of God. For only God can make the soul. Men and women (by God’s design) only bring forth the fleshly tabernacle.
That’s the focus of Paul, when he addressed the people on Mar’s hill, saying we are all the offspring of God.

Giants such as Goliath are human/angelic hybrids. This is found in Genesis chapter 6. It is also mentioned there without specifying how, that these giants were also present after the flood.
There are only a few ways this can happen... either some of the hybrids actually survived the flood, or there was another incursion by fallen angels. Another theory suggests that at least one of the wives chosen by Noah’s sons were genetically corrupt.
This is vastly different than the discussion on longevity.
People and animals didn’t live as long after the flood because of much lower atmospheric oxygen and higher radiation levels as the result of the loss of the earth’s firmament.
The corruption of the human genome by fallen angels is why God had to destroy the earth. Noah and his family were the only ones left with pure human DNA. Jesus was basically saying that conditions would be similar at the time of the end when destruction of the earth would again be necessary.
That was my point.
The difference between then and now can be found in Daniel 2:43 where a reference to the final kingdom is made:
“And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”
Who are “They” here?... because the structure of the sentence implies that “They” are NOT human. One could argue that this prophecy is being fulfilled today through trans-humanism, and another viable explanation could be the GRAPHENE OXIDE present in these GENE THERAPY vaccines.
Either way, we are seeing the destruction of God’s creation known as humanity at the genetic level.
