Again, Sons of God take daughters of men, and God is angry with man, not angels and not angel children. Flesh and blood human beings !. His spirit will not always strive with man, not with angels. Man is but flesh, and his error is in the flesh. In other words, God is going to bring judgment upon him for his weakness of the flesh. The sons of God were sinning according to the flesh, by taking wives of the unsaved, simply because they were fair to look upon (beautiful in our vernacular). This is the reason for judgment upon the earth, it's always been !. Not because Super angels copulated with humans, but because God's people went after strange flesh !. Let us touch briefly on a few other verses that are sometimes used to try and prove these were angels. Job 1: 6. • "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them". Job 2: 1. • "Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord", and "Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord". Any Bible that you have that translates these words as angels is a mistranslation. The words sons of God in these verses are the exact same Hebrew as found throughout scripture for sons, and for God. The same in Genesis chapter 6. It's (ben 'elohiym) or (bane el-o-heem) which is literally children or Sons/God. The exact same words in all the verses. Not the Hebrew word "angels" (mal'ak) or Messenger, but Sons of God. Any Bible that translates this angel is making a "commentary" and not a translation of the Hebrew. And there is a difference !. I don't mind people making commentaries, but when they find themselves on the pages of scripture "as Scripture" that's when I draw the line. It is an unrighteous thing for anyone to translate (ben 'elohiym) as angels when it is the Hebrew "Sons of God". If God had wanted to say angels, He very well could have had the Holy men of old use that Hebrew word He has prescribed and uses for angel throughout scripture, he didn’t. Case Closed !. Some people have been confused by the language "they came to present (yatsab) (meaning, to "station" or position) themselves before the Lord". Some think that this means that they went into heaven. That's not the case. We have to keep in mind the times that we are reading about. These were the early years of the world. The language of "Presenting themselves before God", is common in Biblical History, and doesn't denote an appearance in Heaven. It is simply language denoting coming to the place or presence of God to inquire of Him. Today, we'd go to a Church and pray. That would be our coming to inquire of God. In those days, they would have their own designated Holy place, and often God would speak to them directly. For example in:
Deuteronomy 31: 14-15. • "...call Joshua, and Present Your selves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. • and the Lord Appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud:...." God told Moses to Present (yatsab) (same word) himself and Joshua before Him in the tabernacle, and "God" spoke to them. And note, they did not appear in Heaven. Comparing scripture with scripture we see this language of presenting oneself before the Lord doesn't denote an appearance in heaven. Here they presented themselves before God, but it was in the tabernacle. It's the exact same thing as the sons of God presenting themselves. In these early days, God spoke to His servants the Prophets in a special way. And often times that meant an appearance or His presence in a special way. Again, don't take my word for it, compare scripture with scripture. 1 st Samuel 10: 19. • "Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands". Present (same Hebrew word) themselves before the Lord, and they'd inquire of God. Did that mean the tribes of Israel went into Heaven to present themselves before the Lord . Certainly not, but this is the language God uses to describe the gathering together to inquire of God. Another verse is, Numbers 11: 16 where the Lord tells Moses to gather 70 into the tabernacle to stand (same Hebrew word Present) themselves with Moses, and "GOD" would come down and talk with Him there. You see, this was simply the language in the old days of when the believers, the sons of God, (whatever you want to call them), would come to inquire of the Lord. They would present themselves before the Lord to inquire and for instruction. So it's really no different from saying, "the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord", and of saying "the believers came to present themselves before the Lord". It's human beings in view here, not angels, and not in heaven. Literally, Job 1: 6 says "And there doth come Satan in their midst". So the sons of God came to present themselves before God, and Satan came in the midst of them, it's no mystery !. It's not unlike the 12 Disciples with Christ in Jerusalem, and Satan indwelling Judas to be in the midst of them. There we have an example of Satan coming in the midst of the sons of God, where is the mystery . Satan makes his appearance on earth, through men. Another passage people bring up is Job 38. Job 38: 7. • "When the morning star sang together, and all the Sons of God shouted for Joy". The passage in Job 38: 7 may be a little more difficult to understand, but the chapter becomes clear once we compare scripture with scripture. The entire chapter is speaking in symbolical terms. God talks about where the foundations of the earth are fastened together (or sockets been sunk). The Earth isn't sunk by sockets. It says who laid the corner stone. The earth wasn't laid on corner stones. It says the sea is shut with doors. The sea doesn't have any doors on it. It says the sea bursts forth as a womb. The sea is not a womb. It talks of the clouds as a swaddling bands, and bars being set, God talking and commanding the morning, taking hold of the wings or ends of the earth, it being as a clothes or a garment, a broken arm, etc, etc, etc. The point I'm making is, all these things symbolize something. It's not a literal broken arm in view here, or literal bars and doors or literal stars bursting forth singing. So why should we take this alone to be literally angels, when everything else in the chapter speaks symbolically .
