Who watches the Watchers?
Genesis Chapter 6
The sons of God in the
text are referring to spirit beings that did not stay in their designated home
in the spiritual realm, the heavens. These Sons of God came to
earth according to the book of Enoch and were two hundred in number, they
descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon. This part will be
incredibly interesting once we get to New Testament writings. They knew that
there would be consequences for their actions and bound themselves with an
oath, they all agreed together to do this whatever outcome. I have
no proof that an individual son of God working behind the scenes to perhaps insight
this group to do this plan, but the evidence of their actions speak volumes. They would
attempt to pollute the line of humans and by doing so hopefully kill any chance
that the prophecy given by God in Eden, that a savior would come from her
(the woman) offspring could come to pass. “I will put enmity between you and the
Woman, between your offspring and her offspring; he shall crush your head and
you shall bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15) I do not believe it is coincidental
that they were lusting after earthly woman, the lusting of the eye’s idea had
worked very well already for someone back in the Garden and appears to be a
similar thing happening here. Before we go to far, I would like to address the
Sethite Theory by looking first at a passage in Jude verse six, And the Angels
who did not stay within their own position of authority but left their proper
dwelling – these he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the
judgment of the great day. Then in 2 Peter 4-5 For if God did not spare angels
when they sinned but sent them to hell and committed them to chains of gloomy
darkness to be kept until judgment; and spared not the old world, but Noah the
eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bring the flood on the world of the
ungodly. Were both Peter and Jude wrong or were they referring to an event that
only they knew about? This is another example of both men writing to an
audience that was aware of the history of events and completely understood what
they were referencing. The Sethite Theory, that says these sons of God were merely the Godly line of Seth are just like the Nephilim it does not float .
Now these sons of God are not only credited with the ungodly union and the
prodigy they produced, but they are also credited with giving mankind
knowledge they should not have had. They would teach them things that
would make it easier for people to be even more destructive to one another.
These practices included charms enchantments. One of the two
hundred sons of God that went by the name of Azazel taught the making of swords, knives, shields,
armor, metallurgy, amongst others. I mention this spiritual being
specifically not as a leader or anything like that, but that it is
mentioned after these things that were taught from the text in Enoch it goes on to say, ‘And there arose
much godlessness and they committed fornication, and were led astray, and
became corrupt in all their ways.’ It is interesting to note that
the name of this son of God will show up in Leviticus 16:8 as the name of the
scapegoat or rather who the scape goat is for, in Hebrew it is Azazel, coincidence,
possibly. This scapegoat had all the sins of the Jewish people laid ceremonially
on it and it was let go alive into the wilderness to take them to Azazel. Getting
back to Genesis we see God layout his plan to Noah and begin the process of passing
judgement on all the evil and corruption. He sends Enoch as a messenger to the
rebel sons of God to tell them about their impending judgement. They will get
to see the destruction of their offspring and they themselves will be
consigned to chains of gloomy darkness. It was Enoch who they asked to plead on
their behalf to God for their children the Nephilim. The answer was no, they had
free will in making their choices they had no respect for God or the creation
he loves. God will again make good out of a horribly situation and will continue the plan through Noah.
