Join us on the Revelation Rock Podcast as we delve into the profound and weighty topic of the fallen angels in religious texts.
When men started having more children, two beautiful daughters were born. Moreover, the angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after them and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men. This passage you referenced is often associated with the Book of Enoch, a non-canonical text in most Christian traditions but one that offers a narrative on the origins of fallen angels and giants. Here is a similar passage from the Book of Enoch:
"And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'"
The story of the fallen angels and their interaction with human women is also briefly mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4 (NIV):
"When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, 'My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.' The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." Join us for the next episode until next time, say bless.
The story underlines a profound transgression where heavenly beings (interpreted as angels or 'sons of God') departed from their rightful place and pursued earthly pleasures, leading to significant consequences. This narrative serves as a stark warning about the perils of deviating from God's intended order and the ensuing chaos that can result. It's a cautionary tale that reminds us to remain vigilant and faithful to God's path.
Reflecting on these passages, we are reminded of the crucial importance of aligning our desires and actions with God's commands. The lesson here is one of faithfulness and the need to resist temptations that lead us away from God's path. We should seek His guidance and strength to remain steadfast in our faith, understanding the weight of this responsibility.
