I am sometimes curious about what the physical world was like before the flood. Like housing, infrastructure, technology. I wonder if there was anything like computers or electronics beforehand ?
I have always thought this is exactly what happened. I think the nephilim were the infernal creatures to come out of this illicit communication between mankind and fallen angels, until God wiped them out in the flood. When the New Testament says, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be. I wonder if it means this type of human/fallen angel contact will happen again? I don't know. I wonder what others think?
“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?” (Hebrews 1:5)
The answer: None. “Sons of God” are believers, men.
“But as many as received him to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12,13)
The Bible is full of many examples where “sons of God” intermarried with the “daughters of men” (idol worshipping locals) and were turned from God to evil.

makes a lot of sense. thanks for the post.
1 saw that the tree was good for food
2 that it was pleasant to the eyes
3 a tree to be desired to make one wise
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
1 sons of God saw the daughters of men
2 they were fair
3 took them wives of all which they chose
Some would say Satan's attempt to thwart the seed of the woman from coming as Satan attacks woman kind. The human race was contaminated and " Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations"
The world was created “good,” as was man. The evil that followed the entry of sin into the heart of man will never be eradicated. Ungodly governments spend all the their citizens money trying to re-create Eden, but they are doomed to failure. Societies without God are festering garbage dumps, the blind leading the blind.
Volumes have been written in academia on the topic, especially from the turn of the century (1900’s) and with the rise of Dispensationalism.
Euhemerism focused upon the premise that mythology had some basis in historical fact, but studied to what extent it may have been factual vs allegorical or metaphorical in meaning.
I’ve recently began reading the Books of Enoch, and they nicely indicate where much of the GAP theory details were premised.
IMHO, just as a satanic strategy has existed to destroy all of Israel, thereby defeating Prophetic promises to man from God, there also was a prior strategic goal to corrupt all flesh, also attempting to prevent the completion of God’s Plan. Gap Theory is consistent with such observed satanic strategy.
While I recognize the Books of Enoch are extra biblical, and in reading them, they lack the same food for God the Holy Spirit during their study, I find it interesting that the Apocrypha is still considered canonical in the RCC. Also interesting is that the first 12 chapters of the first Book of Enoch makes references to the Rapture on several occasions, while the RCC frequently denies the Rapture, but insists upon the canonicity of the Book of Enoch.
Revelation tells us of a demon army that will be loosed from the Euphrates in the End Times and even its leader’s name.
I’ve wondered if some US military campaigns after WWII and Korea, haven’t been driven by occultic goals to bind and loose demons in those remote lands. I’ve conversed with many a Mason who believe in Vietnam/Cambodia, Bosnia, and in Afghanistan that UFOs an alien contact was documented. Also that many angelic manifestations occurred in those areas, but not always well reported, but kept quiet. I also have observed those who are attracted to the occult describe military operations in caves, which happened to involved blood letting and appeals to the angelic domain, indicating they had ulterior occultic agendas, even where most were unaware.
If such demons were loosed, then demon possession might be much more prevalent than we attribute their behavior/presence in our culture.
As in all things, through faith in Christ we may remain on path with His Plan to be in the right place at the right time to do the right thing in the right manner. So while such things might be interesting, and worthy to consider they might exist where least expected, we still remain focused on life through faith in Christ, and don’t need the preoccupation with the occult.
