David, you are a courageous man. I agree with this interpretation of Genesis 6. You have explained it clearly and convincingly.
As a woman who loves God and His word, I Rejoice that this teaching is destroying the shroud that has covered women in the church since Augustine.
I invited Jesus Christ to come in to my life,right now,please send me the holy spirt,
✝️✝️✝️ Lord have mercy on us 😭😭😭
You have the Holy Spirit if you are saved♥️🙏✝️
@@lydiadoumon6781Only Jesus. ✝️🙏♥️
I also am pleased to see you supporting the ‘sons of God’ interpretation as being angelic beings. For years, I pondered this scripture passage and about a decade ago, I finally heard someone preaching on it and was delighted to hear that my ponderings were legit.
Thank you once again for presenting both interpretations and giving solid reasons why you do not embrace the ‘sons of Seth’ theory.
I also appreciated your detailed description of the ark and its capacity as well as the fact that many people throughout the years have ‘seen’ it resting on Mount Ararat. I wasn’t aware of this.
Thx David, Karen and I are enjoying our journey, with you, through the book of Genesis. Luvya Bruth!
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your blood covenant. Thank You for this issue is not a pre-request to salvation. Please Lord Jesus guide me to Your truth in Your word through the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Pastor Guzik for that magnificent in depth Bible Study!!!
Teach Holy Spirit! Hallelujah! Praise God for this!
Amen!
Beautiful. Thank you Ps Guzik.
AMAZING VIDEO !!! You’re great and I thank God you make these this is so well detailed. GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER IN CHRIST
Here’s my question, can angels not take on human-like bodies? How else can we entertain angels without knowing it (Heb 13:2)? And, what about the angels who rescued Lot (Gen 19:1).
Love your teaching. Great lesson. 🙏🏻
Love this message so encouraging thank you for all the facts
Nice study .
I wish I could speak to you somehow. I am new at learning anything from the Bible and I am so amazed by the way I have questions in my heart not spoken out loud and everytime God seems to answers my questions like he is speaking to me only through some teachings. I smile each time this happens because I feel so much connection and love It. Today during this video I found answers to questions or should I say my own actions of putting off learning the Bible to tomorrow. I been feeling God in my life the past year but I do seem to put of learning till tomorrow and today tonight God spoke through you as a message to me that it is time I follow God now that tomorrow is not promising that God will extend my time to learn and follow. I'm not sure if you read these comments but if you do can you please respond to me on what to do next on my learning mission.
Sounds like this a great season in your life. Keep reading, and listening/watching to sermons. Our knowledge of God grows over time, so simply keep at it. Blessings!
The earliest manuscripts of the Septuagint did not translate Genesis 6:2 as angels of God. It was only a later rendition that suggested the sons of God could mean angels of God. This was based off the Masoretic Text calling the angels God in the Book of Job the sons of God. The Masoretic Text is where all of this confusion started. Today every preacher who teaches that the sons of God in Genesis 6 are angels always refers back to the Book of Job. But there's a huge problem with this. For nearly a thousand years before the Masoretic Text was even finished the Septuagint never called angels the sons of God in Job, it simply said angels of God. When reading Job there is no doubt that, Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7 is referring to angels but for some reason the Jewish scribes when writing the Masoretic Text decided to use the phrase sons of God. They even changed some of the scripture to mean something totally different. Was it because these particular scribes hated Jesus? Likely. Did they agree with the New Testaments claim that Jesus was their Messiah? Absolutely no! Did they have a problem with Jesus' claim that He was the only begotten son of the Father? Yes! I would find it very hard to believe that any Jewish scribe alive after the time of Christ wouldn't have a problem with the Septuagint given the fact that most of the Old Testament verses that were quoted by the apostles in the New Testament came from the Septuagint and matched up exactly word for word. Let's look at this verse from Deuteronomy 32:43 and compare it between the two texts.
Deuteronomy 32:43 (Masoretic) “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people;
For He will avenge the blood of His servants,
And render vengeance to His adversaries;
He will provide atonement for His land and His people.”
Deuteronomy 32:43 (Septuagint) Rejoice, ye heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice ye Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
Notice the phrase, (let all the angels of God worship him), this is also found in Hebrews 1:6 but ironically in verse 1:5 it says, For to which of the angels did He ever say:“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
So according to the Septuagint's Greek translation from an earlier Hebrew manuscript which are now all destroyed the angels of God couldn't possibly be referring to the sons of God who are to strengthen themselves in him.
Let's now compare Job 38:7. This is sometime before the creation of mankind but after God said, Let there be light.
(Masoretic Text) When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
(Septuagint) When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice.
Notice there is no mention of morning stars singing together, only being created.
(Targum of Job 38:7 1st century BC) When the morning stars shone, all the angels of God shouted together.
Here we have three ancient texts but only one says sons of God, the other two say angels of God. Which one is correct? The one that contradicts Hebrews 1:5 and calls angels sons of God, or two that simply call the angels of God angels.
1 Timothy 1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1 Timothy 4:7
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.
Sadly my own Pastor (A Calvary Chapel) lines up with “The Sons of Seth” viewpoint even though he could not explain away the very points you made David concerning why a global flood would be needed to kill everyone but eight people.
We have no way of knowing the total population at the time of the flood, but it was a lot. My Pastor even denied there “Nephalim” and as you pointed out clearly how would there be a issue of a race of Giants being produced as we have very tall and big people today who are not wreaking havoc on the earth as a whole(Additionally all the animals were also killed and why start over with them as well?).
Because as you stated it was a genetic issue for Satan to thwart the plan of redemption through “The seed of the woman” and as we know women have eggs not seed. It amazes me how people gloss over what The Bible says constantly especially a Pastor Sheparding a Church for twenty years.
Also we have the “Sons of Anak” as Israel is taking possession of the land and the faithless ten spies succumb to fear and only Joshua and Caleb of that group make it in as The Lord says wipe out everything from these people Men, Women and children(Animals also) so why do this? ........ Genepool issue as it was Angelic intrusions and as you pointed out those Fallen Angels in Tarterus for these intrusions to this very moment.
You always take on these these subjects without emotion and clear and consistent points by knowing the counsel of The Word fully.
@Rambert3 "Sadly my own Pastor (A Calvary Chapel) lines up with “The Sons of Seth” viewpoint even though he could not explain away the very points you made David concerning why a global flood would be needed to kill everyone but eight people."
~ What happened from Gen 4:26: "Then people began to call upon the name of the LORD,"
... to Gen 7:1: "Then the LORD said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, 'FOR YOU ALONE' I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation?" Even Noah's son Ham had some issues.
This flood is a result of the wickedness of mankind, not fallen angels/women hybrids, but demonic influences of pagan idolatry.
~ Genesis 5; ..."wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually".
All of mankind were born into sin, Seth and Cain descendants. However, some acted out in faith and called out to the Lord. Mahalalel (named: Praise of God), Enoch (Walked with God and was raptured), Methuselah (oldest man ever 969 years), Lamech (Godly father of Noah), Noah (God's preacher for 120 years before the flood, 1 of 8 saved). God's people (sons of God) that had once called upon the name of the Lord, saw that pagan women (daughters of men) were beautiful, they 'fell away' and they gave in to the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh to the point of rejecting God and turning to idolatry. When sin takes hold of the majority in a culture it is like a wildfire out of control, such as Sodom, Gomorrah and promotions of pride month these days. God knows those that are His and He will give people over to depravity when there is no hope of turning around for them. This is why God warns His people not to be unequally yoked, here is an example of what happened in Genesis 6:
~ Deuteronomy 7:3-4; "Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods; Then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will quickly destroy you."
@Rambert3 "My Pastor even denied there “Nephalim” and as you pointed out clearly how would there be a issue of a race of Giants being produced as we have very tall and big people today who are not wreaking havoc on the earth as a whole(Additionally all the animals were also killed and why start over with them as well?)."
Who or what are the Nephilim? There are only two places in the Bible that mentions Nephilim and not much said about them. Nephilim Hebrew definition: 'FALLEN ONES', some say it’s fallen angels, others say people that have ‘FALLEN AWAY’ from seeking God. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days AND afterwards. If one accepts that the Nephilim are Godless influential strong and famous people the mystery goes away. Goliath was considered a giant (LXX says 6'6") but what we know of him is that he mocked God.
~ Psalm 53:2-3; “God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all ‘FALLEN AWAY’; together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good, not even one.”
Centuries later the Greek LXX added gigantes (giants) to the definition of Nephilim.
Preflood earth was much different than what we have today. We know that there are fossilized ferns (over 30' tall) and huge reptilian bones. People living almost a 1,000 years with a firmament blocking harmful rays from the sun, and no diseases may have produced larger people than modern humans. The bible does say that these were 'MIGHTY MEN' and 'MEN' of renown, so we know they are just men not hybrids. And the same Hebrew words describe David's warriors, so it is not describing demi-gods.
@Rambert3 "Because as you stated it was a genetic issue for Satan to thwart the plan of redemption through “The seed of the woman” and as we know women have eggs not seed.
~ Genesis 3:15; And I will put enmity Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
This is an allegory foretelling Jesus defeating Satan at Calvary.
Women do not have seed, just as Satan does not have seed.
We know the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she became with child, Jesus.
In the same way we know the seed of the serpent when Jesus confronts the Pharisees:
~ John 8:44; “You are of 'YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL', and you want to do the desires 'OF YOUR FATHER'. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
So, just as Jesus is not actually the seed of the woman but of God, so too the Pharisses are not actual bloodline descendants but are of the devil.
@Rambert3 "The Lord says wipe out everything from these people Men, Women and children(Animals also) so why do this?"
Well, the Israelites failed to follow through on God's directives and there are land disputes and unrest for the Israeli's even to this day because of it.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It is I am like that, bending my ears towards the holy spirit, makes all the difference in the world.
The traditional interpretation goes back to the book of Enoch which makes it clear that Sons of God referred to angels - fallen angels.
The book of Enoch answers more questions. Men have picked what to include here in the scriptures and ask us not to look into what was lost and excluded but it goes along with the scriptures and only adds to them and answers these. Tough questions instead of letting men assume with their “understanding” of things.
It seems what the book of enoch has a relavant to the angelic being in genesis 6
Hebrews 13:2 tells us to welcome strangers in our homes because we could be entertaining angels.
We can infer from this that they can assume the form of man quite convincingly (at least).
If they have the form of man, what are their limitations? No clue.
This was after God would have put a stop to this, so not sure what to make of it.
Yes!
There is no confusion here.
The WORD OF GOD stands on its own.
It is Men, who seek to know the mind of God, but can't truly understand What they see.
God Gives us revelation, gives us Proper interpretation of His word.
God does not give us a "spirit of Fear". He desires, wants us to study his Word.
While I appreciate your efforts to break down scripture for the "layman", preaching like this presents unsure footing.
We Have to be bold.
Dismissing that which flies in the face of God's word.
What you are not understanding, is the fact that the Sons of God were able to take on flesh, to cohabit with women and men.
God himself presented Himself to Abraham as a Man, along with two others, when he told Abraham that Sarah would give birth to Isaac,and what He planned to do with Sodom.
God forbid Angelica creatures from taking on Flesh after that, unless they had his direct permission.
The Sons of God were Not in service of Satan.
They were of their Own way, but given up to apostasy.
You need to ask God for spiritual clarity..
Thank you for the wonderful teaching God bless you
Hello
I would like to offer a prospective to your question that relates to the correlation of Sons of God with Daughters of Men.
When I read it with a mind of modernization~I thought of Incest as we know that in today's society is frown upon and there's a good chance that there will be something genetic abnormal with the child.
Secondly, Cain was cursed.
Genesis 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive they brother's blood from thy hand.
I can clearly understand how it happened. Adam walked with God before Eve.
It seems that Seth's side of the family did not spread the message about Uncle Cain's side of the family well.
That would be when God felt disappointed and I believe that he wanted to wash away the evil by semi-starting over again with mankind.
Another point
God knew that unbelievers could persuad believer aways from him.
It happened with King David, King Solomon and Samson. Samson knew that he had a specific terms to follow, but there's an Allure that Women posses that has the Power of switch the Narrative of a Curious Male/Man if he's not grounded in God
Adam and Eve were created to produce and fill the earth.
Angels are not created to pro create.
According to chapter 5 of Genesis Adam. Son of God. Who are the other sons of God in the chapter? None.
We should not allow deceptive thoughts be added to the Holy Scriptures.
SONS OF GOD ARE FALLEN ANGELS/WATCHERS......THE OFFSPRING WERE GIANTS.....PLEASE REFERENCE L.A MARZULLI/MIKE HEISER
Here's several questions and you can be civil and answer them to the best of your ability or you can get offended and be ugly. Either way. Just some logic questions. If God knew the outcome of creating man, why did he do it anyway and repent, knowing he was going to be unhappy with man ? The, after he found Noah, wiped everyone out and started over, why did he think it would work the second time? Man is just as corrupt and evil today.
Great questions! Your questions show an inquisitive heart, and a seeking after true understanding of God's plan.
Pastor David does a Live Q&A stream every Thursday here on RUclips, maybe you can get an answer there.
Uncertainty, doubt, or even unbelief are never an issue, but disbelief is often most detrimental to those in possession of it.

@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord I think it's important to have critical thinking and ask questions. Being indoctrinated into something is a poor way to learn
Dude , massive ark, tells me that NOAH, was aided by GOD himself in more ways that NOAH ,actually knew, how GOD provided to NOAH strength energy , and ability to complete the mission, THAT ,my freind David Guzik is awesome.
Doesn't fit the text? What part of God blaming Man, Men or Mankind doesn't fit the text? Exactly how many times is the word Angel, Fallen Angel or Demon used in Genesis 6? When God says, they took WIVES, was He speaking of marriage? Exactly how does God define Marriage? Finally we see children in the future from such a union. Men of renown, the first King mentioned in the Bible, and those who possessed the promise land came from which lineage? Ham's LINEAGE when, the son's of God took for themselves wives from the daughters of men.
It's plainly in the text. Anything else is mirror to the garden. Man ~ the woman. Woman ~ the snake. Genesis 6 ~ it was Angels, Fallen angels or Demons. 🙄😒
Neither given in marriage or taken in marriage= the CUSTOMS of the JEWS.

NEVER DOES JESUS SAY, THERE is "NO" marriages in HEAVEN.

This 'Pastor' says the 'sons of God' particularly in Job 1 are 'clearly' angelic beings.'
Sons of God are always Godly people and NEVER angels. Here is Job 1:
~ Job 1: 3-5; When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and CONSECRATE them (Job's sons), rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus, Job did continually. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. The LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the LORD and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.”
~ Job and his sons (Godly men 'sons of God') are 'CONSECRATED', presenting themselves before God with burnt offerings (sacrifices) for forgiveness of sin. Satan was among them on earth. God asked Satan and he said he was on earth. The next four verses Satan describes Job’s hedge of protection, his blessings and riches etc. Satan has been there with Job.
~ This isn't angels presenting themselves to God in heaven, this is Job on earth, with his sons called ‘sons of God’.
Consecrate: to induct a person into permanent office with a religious rite i.e., to ordain the office of Bishop. To make or declare sacred, to devote irrevocably to the worship of God by a solemn ceremony.
See Mike Heiser's explanation of the Divine Council in Psalm 82. It's on u-tube.
@@fromthewrath2come Oh my, the divine counsel are the Jewish rulers that judged and decided the fate of the people in the land. They were like a god in determining if people lived or died according to Levitical law. Just the fact that He says, "you will die like men" assures us that these are humans NOT angels because angels cannot die. Another misinterpretation of scripture to distort the true meaning of the bible. Jesus used this very scripture to rebuke the Pharisees that stoned the prophets and were responsible for His crucifixion, because they had the authority of a god, yet they too would die like men.
@@fromthewrath2come Let's start by asserting angels cannot die they are immortal, also angels do not judge, so this chapter is not about angels.
~Psalm 82 is about the religious leaders of the day that had abused their power of life and death over their subjects (like gods, but they will die like men) because they ruled unfairly.
~ Psalm 82; God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers. "How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked?
Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
~ Jesus called out the corrupt Pharisees and religious leaders of His day the very people that were plotting to have Him crucified in 'John 10' when He compared them to those of Psalm 82 to rebuke them.
~ Luke 11:39-52; But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness. You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also? But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you. But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places. Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it. One of the lawyers said to Him in reply, “Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too.” But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them. So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs. For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.’ “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”
Let the Bible explain the Bible.
Angels & demons don't have sex. They were men.
