Genesis 6 Giants… and Aliens?
NOTE: These are difficult topics… and even more difficult to discuss among rational people. But, it is in the Word of God… and given to us as a warning to what once was… and the new spin it will take in the near future. Prayerfully consider what the Lord is trying to tell you.

Genesis 6:2-4
It surely appears bizarre to some people that the Bible contains a statement referring to fallen angels sexually interacting with human women and having children with them. This has led to many strained interpretations of Genesis the Sixth Chapter.
Let us look closely at the passage:
The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose”. ….”There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Gen 6:1-4 KJV)
Placement of this passage immediately before the Flood narrative signifies that such behavior set the tone for and contributed to human immorality.
The Hebrew phrase translated “sons of God” (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, beneha’elohim) occurs only here in Gen_6:2; Gen_6:4 and in Job_1:6; Job_2:1; Job_38:7 where angels are clearly understood. In the Book of Job, the phrase clearly refers to angelic beings. Nowhere else is the phrase “sons of God” (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, bene ha’elohim) used. Hence, the verse is better understood as, “the angels saw the daughters of.” The word bene, literally sons of, when used in a term such as beneha’elohim, means members of the “category of elohim” (gods). An example of such usage can be seen in the term “sons of the prophets” as “bene hanebiim” (1 Kgs. 20:35; 2 Kgs. 2, 3, 5, 7, 15).
A close reading of Genesis indicates that the term (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, beneha’elohim) is not referring to human beings. The contrast is drawn between bene haelohim and benot haadam.
Some take “the daughters of man” to be the daughters of the Cainites only. However, it is sufficient to understand by this phrase, the daughters of man in general, without any distinction of a moral or spiritual kind, and therefore including both Cainite and Shethite females. “And they took them wives of all whom they chose. In the Hebrew this is written as, “the daughters of Adam” (aw-dawm’) or benot ha adam .
Hence, we read the passage as, “the angels saw the daughters of Adam that they were fair”.
The children of the supernatural beings who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time and even later.” Gen 6:4 (Contemporary English Version).
Now the giants (Nephilim) were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown”. (Gen 6:2-5 English Septuagint)
There are three possible understandings for the usage of the term sons of God or beney elohim as found in the ancient Hebrew Scriptures, but we shall see that only one understanding fits the text of the Hebrew Bible.
The sons of God or (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, beneha’elohim) are thought by some to be only the sons of Seth, and the daughters of men the descendants of Cain. In this view, the crime was the marriage of the holy line of Seth to the unholy line of Cain.
The sons of Seth interpretation appeared about 400 AD and was the first dispute to the angel view that a majority of both Jews and Christians had held prior to that time. There are serious problems with this theory. First, the phrase the line of Seth is nowhere defined in the Hebrew Bible as a holy line of people. In addition, the theory fails to take into account that nowhere in history is it evidenced that intermarriage of any people or culture produces a giant, nor did the Lord destroy or threaten to destroy a race or culture because of intermarriages. In spite of modern day proponents of this theory, this argument is not convincing. It is pure eisegesis: reading into the text what is obviously not there in order to prove one’s own ideas.
The early church fathers, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Athenagoras, Tertullian, Lactantius, Eusebius, and Ambrose all accepted the angel view.
They said, The angels transgressed and were captivated by love of women and begat children who are called giants. This is recorded in vol. 8, pages 85 and 273 of The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Only after the fifth century do we find any interpretation other than angels for the sons of God or beney elohim.
The sons of God or beney elohim are thought by some to be merely rulers, and the daughters of men only the masses; the transgression in this view is polygamy. The evidence for this view is that rulers are often referred to as gods or the offspring of gods. This is an even weaker interpretation.
The problem with this theory is that royalty has not in any way now or in ancient times, or anywhere in the Hebrew Bible, been associated with deity.
The sons of God or (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, beneha’elohim) are the fallen angels, and the daughters of men are earthly women. The transgression is marriage and the begetting of children by the fallen angels.
Jude gives the evidence for this view in the New Testament. According to Jude, these fallen angels, in like manner [gave] themselves over to fornication, and [went] after strange flesh.
These other-worldly beings could take upon themselves flesh. Abraham’s conversation with angels (on their way to destroy Sodom) who appeared to him as humans, and even ate the food Abraham prepared for them is proof of that.
Finally, it’s also the most natural reading of the verse in light of the offspring being giants (Nephilim).
In addition, further proof of angels as the correct rendering of “sons of god” (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, beneha’elohim) in Gen. 6:2 is simply understanding that the Bible interprets the Bible. Should a group of words such as “sons of god” (בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, beneha’elohim) used in Job (Job_1:6; Job_2:1; Job_38:7), is used elsewhere it should be understood to keep the same meaning. Good Bible interpretation, or what is called exegesis requires the same understanding be given to the same group of words when it’s used in another place, otherwise we are not following sound Bible interpretation, but reading something into the verse which isn’t there.
Witness of the Septuagint
sons of god = Angels of God
In the Codex Alexandrinus, one of the earliest and most complete manuscripts of the Bible, written a little later than the Council of Nice (A.D. 325) the defention of the “sons of god” can be clearly determined. The term “sons of god” written in the KJV is written in the Codex Alexandrinusas as, “hoi angeloi tou Theou” (the angels of God) and not as “hoi huioi tou Theou” (the sons of God).
And it came to pass, when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the angels of God (hoi huioi tou Theou) having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful took to themselves wives of all whom they chose. And the Lord God said, My spirit shall certainly not remain among these men forever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Now the giants (gigantes) were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the the angels of God (hoi huioi tou Theou) were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants (gigantes) of old, the men of renown.” Codex Alexandrinus
Several polls were done recently, a Gallup poll estimated that one third of Americans believe aliens have visited the planet Earth, and of these a large percentage believed alien abductions were happening, while a Facebook poll registered that 2.3% of Americans claim to have been abducted.
Although abductions can occur at anytime of the day or night, they strangely follow a similar pattern. A light shining light is seen usually from a window and fills the room. Either an entity then will enter the room through walls, or in some cases, the abductees awaken to find an entity standing by the bed. The abductees are paralyzed, unable to move or speak. The abductees are then floated out of the room, through windows or walls, as they and their abductors are beamed into a waiting “alien craft”. Once on craft the abductees clothing is removed, and they are placed on a hard surfaced table in an examination room where various gynecological examinations are performed; samples of semen (if men), blood and other tissues are taken, and implants may be surgically implanted. Often the abductees (the victim) are persuaded to have sex with another human being aboard the “craft” or with one of the entities (aliens-fallen angels). Throughout these sexual practices, the abductees are given “telepathic messages” assuring them that they were chosen for humanity’s greater good, and that they are the creation of these “extraterrestrial entities” (fallen angels). Sometime the abductees are warned erroneously about future events, wars, or natural disasters none of which ever happens and they are told that humanity needs to change its ways.
The abductees often report seeing rooms containing human hybrids, which are half-alien (fallen angel) – half-human humanoids, they are then told that some of these hybrids are theirs and they are expected to personally interrelate with them. They then are returned, but left in an emotionally traumatized state; clothing is often not present at all. The next day nothing of what happened is remembered; periods, sometimes hours have completely disappeared from the abductees’ memory. Memories of what occurred may surface in weeks or months, or later as dreams. Abductees often suffer from a type of Post Traumatic Stress when memories of what occurred surface weeks or months, later as dreams or recollections. However, the abductees may upon return immediately experience unexplainable marks; nose bleeds, and pain in the genital region.
What is the purpose of these Abductions?
The purpose of modern day abductions is that they are for an experimental interbreeding program, the production of a half-angel (alien), half-human hybrid. Some abductees have said, “We were told that this will allow prospective generations of aliens to better fit in with humans”.
People familiar with early abduction cases, know that often a needle was inserted into a female abductees navel and fluid extraction would take place, at the time (50’s & 60’s) this procedure which would later be known as amniocentesis was yet unknown to science. This was an attempt by fallen angels to check the human reproductive system to determine whether humans would be compatible for their breeding program. This must not have achieved the desired effect because the most recent abductions are involving direct sex.
These sexual encounters are now becoming a more and more common theme in recent abductions. It is easy for any researcher to witness the progression from breeding compatibility testing, to direct sexual mating.
A classic example of this is the encounter of Antonio Boas. Boas’ abduction took place at night, in Brazil. He was abducted by entities in strange suits and taken aboard a craft; there he was reluctantly persuaded to have a sexual encounter with an almost-human looking woman, after which Boas was deposited back in the field from which he had been taken.
Although modern urologists cringe at the mention of any fallen angelic/demonic involvement, the bulk of abduction cases provide ample proof however, that they can be seen within the context of demonic involvement. While all this talk of angels, mating with human females at the dawn of time, annoys the believer in extraterrestrial visitors and of course the ancient astronaut theorists. It is the truth and the modern component existing within the UFO phenomenon.
These Fallen Angel hybrids are Nephilim, and they will be seen on the earth. Are you ready for this? It has happened before and will happen again.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” (Ecc 1:9)
Christ explained in Matt. 24:37 to his disciples that the days of his return would resemble the days of Noah, “The thing that hath been”. The unique events leading to the Flood are a prerequisite to understanding the prophetic implications of our Lord‘s predictions regarding His Second Coming, “That which shall be”. Have fallen angels in the ancient past mated with humankind? The Bible and mythology the world over would teach us that they have. In one of humanity’s oldest writings, the Fallen Angels are called the beney ‘elohim.
There were giants (Nephilim / hybrids) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God ( beney ‘elohim) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” (Gen 6:4)
In the Septuagint Codex Alexandrinus, one of the earliest and most complete manuscripts of the Bible, written a little later than the Council of Nice (A.D. 325) the defention of the “sons of god” can be clearly determined. The term “sons of god” written in the KJV is written in the Codex Alexandrinusas as, “hoi angeloi tou Theou” (the angels of God) and not as “hoi huioi tou Theou” (the sons of God).
More and more people were born, until finally they spread all over the earth. Some of their daughters were so beautiful that supernatural beings came down and married the ones they wanted. Then the LORD said, “I won’t let my life-giving breath remain in anyone forever. No one will live for more than one hundred twenty years.” The children of the supernatural beings who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time and even later.” (Gen 6:1-4 Contemporary English Version)
This translation says it in a unique way, but is consistent with the witness of the Septuagint.
This cohabitation with human females resulted in an offspring called “Nephilim”. The King James Version says, “Giants”. Giants in the Hebrew text are “Nephilim” angelic/human hybrids, the “men of renown”. I judge that what our primeval civilization and ancestors experienced as aliens were in actuality fallen angels. I consider that Nephilim, UFO’s, and Fallen Angels were here before and after the deluge according to the Book of Genesis, and this is what we see happening again.
The Arrival of the Son of Man will take place in times like Noah’s”. (Mat 24:37 MSG)
In both the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells the disciples that in the last days it will be on the earth again as if it was in the “days of Noah.” We know that in Noah’s day the earth was filled with sin, iniquity and licentiousness that deeply grieved the Lord. However, we also read in Genesis 6 that in the days of Noah there were giants living on the earth. These giants, or “Nephilim” in the Hebrew, are the offspring of earthly women and fallen angels.
God has been restraining the full reappearance of the angelic “sons of God” who sinned with the daughters of men. God will stop restraining their appearance in our realm (2 Thess 2:6).
They and their children the Nephilim are disguising themselves as aliens and are preaching that they seeded life on earth, thus hoping to make all religions obsolete. These aliens (fallen angels) will do the miracles the antichrist and his false prophet require to gain control over the earth. Jesus tells the disciples in the Gospel of Matthew, and the Gospel of Luke that in the last days we would see UFO’s, Abductions, and Nephilim hybrids the children of fallen angels.
Giants are Coming
Author warns of darkness threatening to overtake the earth
Isaiah, tells us that the ghib-bore’ are coming. The ghib-bore’ are the Nephilim the children of fallen angels, the Giants.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty (ghib-bore’ – Nephilim – Giants) ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. (Isa 13:3)
I have given orders to my chosen soldiers; I have summoned the warriors through whom I will vent my anger, my boasting, arrogant ones. (Net)
When are they coming? As the Day of the Lord approaches, Nephilim will be seen on the earth. Are you ready for this? It has happened before and will happen again.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (Ecc 1:9)
Christ explained in Matt. 24:37 to his disciples that the days of his return would resemble the days of Noah. Let’s look at what the Lord himself said,
The Arrival of the Son of Man will take place in times like Noah’s”. (Mat 24:37 MSG)
What was happening in Noah’s day?
When humankind began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful. Thus they took wives for themselves from any they chose. So the LORD said, “My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.”
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men. (Net Genesis 6:1-4)
Fallen Angels were having sexual relations with woman. The result were hybrids, half angelic and half human. Sometimes the Fallen Angels would also cross breed with animals. Yes, with animals.
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. (Gen 6:12)
Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is near at hand;” (Joel 2:1)
Isa. 13:3 is echoed again in Joel:
They shall run like mighty men [gibbowr, gibborim]; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:“ (Joe 2:7)
