The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.OK, I'm not going to try to explain this one. Just go ahead and file it under "Things to ask God when I get to Heaven." So I'll just pose the questions that come to mind.
First, who are the Nephilim? Are they people of a certain background (like we would say German or Ismaelite or Bush? Are they heavenly beings, or demonic beings? Are they the men of renown, or are they the sons of God?
Second, what is meant by "sons of God"? Is this in the sense that Adam was a son of God, as in made by God? Or is it meant to also signify some kind of heavenly creature?
Who are these mighty men? At the time of this writing, and without looking it up, I believe that roughly a millennium has passed. Are they still known to Moses and the Israelites? If so, how? What did they do to be renowned?
Lots of questions, few answers.
