This all has a Spiritual significance no doubt, which is beyond <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> this study. But <strong>God</strong> is<br />

talk<strong>in</strong>g about His Creation process and us<strong>in</strong>g spiritual language <strong>of</strong> creation, stars and sons <strong>to</strong> signify<br />

Christ and His k<strong>in</strong>gdom. Stars don't literally s<strong>in</strong>g, nor <strong>the</strong> world literally sat on s<strong>to</strong>nes.<br />

<strong>God</strong> says <strong>the</strong>se th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>to</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t a spiritual picture puzzle which we must discern by rightly divid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

word. <strong>God</strong> has always used <strong>the</strong> stars as <strong>to</strong>kens for believers, just as He uses <strong>the</strong> Sun <strong>to</strong> signify Christ.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se significations or symbolic terms started from <strong>the</strong> very beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Genesis. <strong>The</strong> stars are part <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> lights <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world created from <strong>the</strong> Beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g, and all are symbolic <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord !.<br />

Likewise, those <strong>in</strong> Christ are called by <strong>the</strong>se th<strong>in</strong>gs, lamps, candles, stars, etc, because we are<br />

reflections or vessels <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />

<strong>The</strong> House or Temple <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord, it's <strong>the</strong>se "Spiritual Th<strong>in</strong>gs" which so many <strong>the</strong>ologians don't really<br />

comprehend. But this is <strong>the</strong> House <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>, <strong>the</strong> sons <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>, <strong>the</strong> foundation laid.<br />

Consider Chapters like Ezra and compare scripture with scripture know<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong> Lord does noth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

by accident.<br />

Ezra 3: 10-12.<br />

• "And when <strong>the</strong> builders laid <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> temple <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord, <strong>the</strong>y set <strong>the</strong> priests <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

apparel with trumpets, and <strong>the</strong> Levites <strong>the</strong> sons <strong>of</strong> Asaph with cymbals, <strong>to</strong> praise <strong>the</strong> Lord, after<br />

<strong>the</strong> ord<strong>in</strong>ance <strong>of</strong> David k<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> Israel".<br />

• And <strong>the</strong>y sang <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r by course <strong>in</strong> prais<strong>in</strong>g and giv<strong>in</strong>g thanks un<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord because he is good,<br />

for his mercy endureth for ever <strong>to</strong>ward Israel. And all <strong>the</strong> people shouted with a great shout,<br />

when <strong>the</strong>y praised <strong>the</strong> Lord, because <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> house <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord was laid.<br />

• But many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> priests and Levites and chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>rs, who <strong>were</strong> ancient men, that had<br />

seen <strong>the</strong> first house, when <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong> this house was laid before <strong>the</strong>ir eyes, wept with a<br />

loud voice and many shouted aloud for joy:<br />

<strong>The</strong> same picture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stars s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g and shout<strong>in</strong>g for Joy and <strong>the</strong> foundation laid, which <strong>God</strong>'s<br />

orig<strong>in</strong>al creation mirrors. Because it's "meant" <strong>to</strong> show a spiritual truth which has noth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> do with<br />

literal stars or angels !. But as I said, that's a whole o<strong>the</strong>r study <strong>in</strong> itself, and beyond <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> this<br />

one.<br />

Mark 12: 25 Makes it perfectly clear angels could not have been <strong>in</strong> view <strong>in</strong> Genesis chapter 6, tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

daughters <strong>of</strong> Men <strong>to</strong> wife. It should settle <strong>the</strong> whole issue right <strong>the</strong>re, but it won't. Because some people<br />

make up <strong>the</strong>ir m<strong>in</strong>ds, and <strong>the</strong>y just refuse <strong>to</strong> be confused with triviality like, <strong>the</strong> Biblical facts.<br />

I've found that many people will believe whatever <strong>the</strong>y are taught no matter what evidence you br<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> table. But this article is for those who have spiritual ears and keep <strong>God</strong>'s word, and know <strong>the</strong><br />

righteousness <strong>of</strong> compar<strong>in</strong>g scripture with scripture, spiritual th<strong>in</strong>gs with spiritual th<strong>in</strong>gs (1 st Cor. 2:<br />

13), <strong>to</strong> come <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> truth <strong>of</strong> it.<br />

One o<strong>the</strong>r th<strong>in</strong>g that some people seem <strong>to</strong> get hung up on is <strong>the</strong> word translated Giants (KJV) <strong>in</strong> verse<br />

4 <strong>of</strong> Genesis chapter 6. In <strong>the</strong> Hebrew (nephel). <strong>The</strong>y like <strong>to</strong> throw <strong>the</strong> word Nefeel, Nephel or Nephelims<br />

around like it's a name for a alien race. <strong>The</strong> fact is, it's not a name for an alien race <strong>of</strong> people, it's a<br />

description <strong>of</strong> a type <strong>of</strong> people. Nephel <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al means "FELL'er". i.e, one who would make you<br />

fall, or one who you would fall at <strong>the</strong> sight <strong>of</strong>. Like as a "BIG" or "GIANT" person. Thus, it is correctly<br />

translated Giants here. But <strong>the</strong>re is no mystery. We can prove that very easily. Because <strong>The</strong> Giants<br />

(nephel) is spoken <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong> Genesis before <strong>the</strong> flood, and aga<strong>in</strong> after <strong>the</strong> flood. Now s<strong>in</strong>ce we (Bible<br />

Believers) know that everyone on earth was destroyed by <strong>the</strong> flood <strong>of</strong> Noah's day, and only Noah and<br />

His own survived, and <strong>the</strong>y <strong>were</strong>n't Nephel (if nephel means this alien race) <strong>the</strong>n we know by simple<br />

common sense and logic that this "so called" race <strong>of</strong> Nephel could not have survived. It makes<br />

absolutely no sense unless we are unreasonable and refuse <strong>to</strong> listen <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> facts.
