There are many different beliefs
about the “Sons of God”. One of the reasons for the misunderstandings on
this subject is the fact that the bible is specifically written to give an
understanding about the things of earth and a few things about the heavens.
Information about the sons of God is heavenly knowledge and not earthly
knowledge. God has chosen to give this information concerning the sons of
God to me.
In considering who the sons of God
are as mentioned in Genesis 6, there are two things to pay attention
to. The first is the fact that the phrase "sons of God" in
the Old Testament is no different than the same phrase in the new testament.
We were not ever told to separate the meaning of these words between the Old
and the New Testaments. Yet many do so blindly. In the Old Testament we are
told in the book of Job that there was a day when the sons of God came to
present themselves to God. They presented themselves to give a report of
their work. We learn that Satan also showed up at this meeting to give his
report. Remember these were sons of God. We are also informed in Genesis 6
that the sons of God saw that the daughters of MEN were fair
and took them as wives. Some want to say that these sons of God were angels
and others want to call them the children of Seth. However they are neither.
For they were truly sons of God in the same way that John said that we have
been given the power to become the sons of God. Before I bring you to
the conclusion of this statement we need to examine the second thing
I mentioned we need to consider. This second thing is a statement made by
Jesus that gives a hint to who the sons of God are. Jesus says in John 14:2
“In my Father's house there are many mansions. If it were no so I would
have told you.” Why would Jesus need to say “if it were not so I would
have told you”? Now look again at what was “so” according to Jesus.
What was “so” was the fact that there were many mansions
in the Father’s house. We view a mansion as a large house, however we
would do better to consider a mansion as a place of habitation or residence.
Unfortunately many think that in the Father’s house that there is only one
mansion or place of residency, and they also think that the one and only
mansion or place of residency is the mansion or place of residency called
Earth. But Jesus said that in the Father’s house (which by the way is the UNIVERSE)
there are many mansions. Jesus further says that if earth was the only
mansion (place of residence) He would have told us “so”. Jesus is saying
here that I never told you that this is the only place where there is a
residence (mansion) or a place for people to live. Unfortunately we make
that assumption based upon a misunderstanding of Genesis 1:1. However when
Genesis says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth it means just that, all that is in the HEAVENS and (or
including) the Earth. The problem is because of the fall of Satan, some
mansions like earth became victims of sin and some did not become victims of
the disease called sin. Those mansions where there is sin have need of a
Savior called Jesus. Those mansions where there is no sin, already know that
Jesus is God in the flesh and they assist God in His planned workings for
the Universe or His house.
Now if we place both pieces of
information together then we have a better picture of who the sons of God
were that are mentioned in Genesis 6. Sons of God are human beings who God
has commissioned to come to this planet to assist Him in His planned working
for this planet. They are from planets that have not been infected with sin
or planets that were infected with sin but were able to recover through the
blood of Jesus Christ who went to that planet and suffered and died their
for their sake, and now they also have eternal life. That is why we read
about them in the book of Job coming to present themselves before God to
give a report of their work.
The job of the sons of God is to
assist God in His planned working on the planets where there is sin. The
sons of God who were assigned to earth were to assist God instead of
becoming selfish and only consider their own wishes. In considering their
own selfish desires instead of remaining committed to their commission they
began to choose the women of earth (daughters of men) for mates. This was a
violation of their directions and the mixing of the genetics was used by
Satan to tamper with the genetics causing giants or what is known as the
Nephilim to be created in the land. The Nephilim were the offspring created
by the mating of the sons of God with the daughters of men and the tampering
of the genes by Satan. Yes, even then Satan was tampering with genetics. Of
course God fixed this problem by sending the flood of Noah's time. There are
yet sons of God here on Earth today who report in to God. Many have already
left because they know we are in the “End of Time” for this planet. You
also through the redemptive power of Jesus Christ can be a son of God.
Behold what manner or love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be
called the sons of God!!
