I suffer from a tendency to reverse numbers, and that is apparent at the beginning of this sermon when I reversed Genesis 6:2 as Genesis 2:6. Also, because my Sunday sermon did not record, I attempted to duplicate it by preaching with only my wife present. Normally, she intensely prays for me, but she was focused on helping me as I preached in the sanctuary on Monday afternoon.
That's why I urge you to read the printed manuscript.
1. The Hebrew phrase, B'nai Elohim, which is found in Genesis 6, always refers to angels in the rest of the Hebrew Bible.
2. The peculiar offspring of Genesis 6 points to something more than simply godly boys marrying worldly girls.
3. The calling down of divine judgment that destroyed the entire human race, except for eight souls, points to a breaking of divine order unprecedented in history.
4. Why does Peter use a form of the Greek word Tartarus to describe the place of these spirits' confinement when that word refers to the special place of confinement of supernatural non-humans in Classical Greek?
5. Why does Jude compare the sin of the angels with that of the Cities of the Plain?
6. Why are some evil spirits confined in the abyss and others are not?
7. Though it is contrary to their estate to marry, the Bible does not indicate that angels are genderless. Why is it that the two angels who ate with Abraham were objects of lust to the male population of Sodom? (Genesis 19:4-7)
8. Why does Jude cite the Pseudepigraphal book of Enoch, especially in light of the extensive description of angel-human coitus and its effects found in that book?
One point of application dealt with the role of women in public worship.
