Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33; Jude 6; Matthew 24:12
The union of fallen angels and human women produced the Nephilim, giants of renown, but corrupt and violent.
Experiencing Christ Commentary shows this abnormal race was Satan’s attempt to damage humanity physically and morally. These giants became mighty in strength but utterly lawless, filling the earth with violence.
Satan promotes pride and power, but God’s purpose rests in righteousness and life.
Main Points:
- The Nephilim were abnormal offspring of corruption.
- Satan’s aim was to ruin humanity through violence.
- God’s testimony is in righteousness, not might.
Cross References:
- Numbers 13:33 – Giants caused fear in Israel.
- Jude 6 – Angels left their dwelling.
- Matthew 24:12 – Lawlessness increases, love grows cold.
- Romans 1:30 – Men become violent and proud.
- 2 Timothy 3:2–4 – Men brutal, without love.
Prayer Points:
Lord, save me from the spirit of violence in this age.
Deliver me from pride of strength without righteousness.
Lord, preserve humanity for Your purpose.
Fill me with the meekness of Christ.
Make me a vessel of life in a violent world, Amen.
