When Heaven Crossed The Line | Part 4

Sin is destructive. It was back then destructive. It's also destructive today in your life. The bible says that we are to repent and believe the good news, that we are to invite Christ in our life. We recognize that we are sinners born into sin, but we can come out from underneath that, and we can become new creations in Christ as we surrender our lives to Christ and invite him in our life. You have the authority to do that. You have the choice to do that, the power to do that. I believe that. [00:29:32] (35 seconds)  #RepentBeMadeNew

It's just the way the unbelief. Right? But here's the thing. In judgment, God preserved Noah so his redemptive plan through Jesus Christ would continue to come. Can somebody say amen? let me just say this about the sons of God. The phrase sons of God in the old testament always, most almost always, if you say this, refers to heavenly beings, not humans. it does not also fully explain this view of the Sathites, the giants, as I said earlier, and the Nephilim.

Then three hundred years after that, something changed when the birth of Methuselah was born. And so, actually, he walked that Hebrew word halak. It actually means to live one's life, to conduct oneself, or he continually sought God. He obeyed God. He ordered his life around God's will. Friends, this is before Jesus came. Come on. This is before, you know, all the Old Testament and New Testament. He was able to back then live in such a way to honor God and in close fellowship. Man, we have no excuse.

And let me just say this, Satan wants to destroy your life. One way he'll do it is through sexual immorality. Amen, pastor Mike. They married human women in this case and produced children, the Nephilim, the giants, the fallen ones. And here's the thing, angels, we can see in the scripture, can appear physically on earth. Theophany, what it's talk about where Jesus Christ showed up in the old testament, if you know that. He showed up to Abraham. [00:24:18] (26 seconds)  #WatchersAndNephilim

Took them. Some say married. If you look it in your bible and you look it online right now, it said married. But actually, the word the meaning for married in the Hebrew, actually, actually means to take, watch this, to seize, to acquire, to take one for one for for oneself. it's a very broad Hebrew word here and it's often used for taking a wife in marriage or taking possession of something and sometimes forcefully taking it against the will. Now how many of men married your wife and you force him to be your wife? Right. [00:22:05] (43 seconds)  #HebrewWordForTake

Whatever happened in Genesis six, the bible clear excuse me. The bible clearly teaches that boundaries in creation were violated and corruption filled the earth. We we can we can, know, deduce that. And not only that, that God judged that rebellion through the flood, which incidentally, I believe there was a global flood. And I believe it'll become more and more evident throughout, even history in these years to come. They'll see facts of that. I think they'll find I think they'll to find the actual ark up there on Mount Ararat, and they'll find pieces. But still, people won't believe. [00:16:33] (34 seconds)  #BoundariesViolated

And so so the sin of these watchers, these sons of God was rebellion against their assigned order. And the angels were not meant to marry a root produced with humans. So what did they do? They came down and they corrupted the DNA, filled the earth with violence, and helped lead to the flood during Noah's day. So in short, in as I conclude here, the watchers were angels who were supposed to watch over humanity from heaven. Instead, scripture, if you believe this interpretation, it gives an understanding and especially in the book of Enoch and others. [00:26:41] (38 seconds)  #WatchersCorruptedEarth

So these they're not ordinary angels, these watchers. They were, if I could say this way, maybe a higher ranking class of angels, and they were given, according to the book of Enoch now, the responsibility observing and guarding mankind, especially in the early generations after Adam, is which he writes. Now once again, extra extra biblical reference here. According to the book of Enoch, there were 200 of them who rebelled. [00:20:43] (29 seconds)  #200WatchersRebelled
