The Nephilim (Rebellion of the Son's of God)

In Unlocking the Bible, David Pawson writes, "We are told that between two and three hundred angels in the area of Mount Hermon sent to look after God's people fell in love with women, seducing them and impregnating them. Their offspring was a horrible hybrid, somewhere between men and angels - beings not in God's order."

Pawson goes on to say, "The immediate effect of this perversion was that violence filled the whole earth; the one leads to another when people are treated as objects and not as persons."

Question:
Examine yourself. How we treat others is an accurate indicator of how much we value them. Does your way of treating others convey a sense of value to them or a sense of disregard?

Prayer Focus:
If you need to make changes in how you treat others, repent (change the way you think, with God's help.) Ask God to help you see His image and likeness in each person you meet.

Genesis 6:1-4 New Living Translation
Then the people began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them. 2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women and took any they wanted as their wives. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.”

4 In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times.
