You know what? Call me crazy. Heck, I’ll be the first one to do it: I’m crazy.
When I was younger, I automatically dismissed these stories as nutter tales. I don’t do it so easily any more. Why? “As it was in the days of Noah...” Go back to Genesis and really dig into to that passage that preachers seem too embarrassed to preach on and skip right over it as if it weren’t there. Consider, also, where quantum physics is today.
“And the sons of God saw that they were fair and took ...” (Doing my best to quote from memory. And my memory is shot. Forgive, plz.) Fallen angels were mating with the female offspring of men. But, angels can’t recreate. And they’re from another dimension, right? If a person believes the Word of God, and I do, then the question has to be raised: How did they manage to mate?
We’ve been programmed to laugh at the word “alien” before we even bother to recall its true definition. A person’s mind automatically sees little green aliens because that’s the way it’s been associated for so long.
We’ve got cloned animals, fluorescent pigs (we’ve all lost our bacon in the dark a time or two), and mice with human blood and brain cells. “Aliens” seem a little less freakish to me at this point.
For a long time I held the traditional line of Seth view of the Genesis 6 “sons of God.” After much study it seems the evidence is stronger in favor of the “sons of God” being fallen angels. And when that is considered in light of Matthew 24:37, many interesting, if not downright frightening, questions and scenarios come to mind.
If you are crazy, you aren’t alone. I know pastors and other seminary graduates, both Calvinists and Arminians, Baptist and Presbyterian PhD’s, who believe the Genesis 6 “sons of God” were likely angelic beings.
