Last week, we discussed the background leading to God’s decision to destroy mankind with a great flood. We calculated the descendants of Adam, the first man, before the flood was about 120,000. We also said that there were illicit relations between angels and human women who gave birth to “Nephilims” who were giants. It is the fallen angels who were supporters of Lucifer and Satan himself who had relations with human women. The good angels, like the Arch-angel Gabriel, who remained loyal to God, my God, the one true God, the God of Moses and Israel, who sent his only Son, Jesus Christ to the world, who willingly became incarnate through the Blessed Virgin Mary, and who died on the cross for our sins so that we may have eternal life with Them in paradise, did no such thing.

It is believed that fallen angels possessed evil men who then had relations with ungodly women. Or, that these angels assumed human form and seduced good women. This would mean that angel and human DNA are almost similar; otherwise, no children can result by the illicit relationships. A horse and a donkey will produce a mule because their DNAs are almost similar even though their species are different.

The Bible states that the “Sons of God” referring to angels, took the daughters of men, and had children by them. Their children are called Nephilims. Further, if human women at that time were monkeys, Satan and his fallen angels would think of some other way to rebel against God. In other words, these bad angels found human women attractive. Thus, humans were created and did not evolve from monkeys.

God placed enmity between Satan and the children of Eve as Satan’s punishment for tempting Eve to convince Adam to eat of the forbidden fruit. God said that Satan would strike at the heel of Eve’s descendant who will crush Satan’s head with His foot. This is a reference to Jesus who will be victorious over Satan.

Because of God’s decision to punish Satan in this manner, Satan and his horde of fallen angels decided to rebel against this judgment by having illicit relations with human women, so that their offspring, called Nephilims would pollute mankind with wickedness, to lessen the possibility that a human would eventually be victorious over Satan. This strategy worked so well that the 120,000 descendants of Adam and Eve had become so inclined to perversion and wickedness that God became so displeased with mankind that He decided to destroy mankind and particularly to destroy the Nephilims which were abominations created by Satan and his group of bad angels.

Fortunately, Noah was a righteous man who loved God and God decided to save Noah and his family from the great flood. Indeed, if there was no Noah, we will not exist today because mankind would have been completely obliterated from the face of the earth.

So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long (500 ft), fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark-you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you…”
