Slaying the Giant Problem (Genesis 6:1-22)
/In Genesis 6:1-11, humanity is multiplying on earth, but as it grows, so does its corruption. The "sons of God" or “elohims” or “sons of the rulers” claim godlike statuses like Pharaoh or the elohims who meet with the true Elohim in Psalm 82. These from the dirt men claiming to be gods take wives for themselves. The mighty giant race, Nephilim, is there.
However, God sees that human wickedness is widespread, and every intention of their hearts is evil continuously. This grieves God deeply, and He regrets creating humanity, deciding to wipe them out with a flood. Yet, Noah stands out as a righteous man, finding favor in God’s eyes. The Lord shows He is the Elohim over this creation and even mightier than the Nephilim.
