Hello, and best blessings to all of God’s wonderful people. We have an interesting voyage ahead of us today. Many pastors are unwilling to discuss it, but at Christ’s Soldiers, we welcome the task of bringing truth to the knowledge of the days of our Bible. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, fashioning a world of beauty and order, filled with every good thing.
Mankind, created in His image, was entrusted with the care of this world. Yet, as generations passed, the hearts of men grew increasingly wicked. This wickedness reached its peak during the days of Noah, but the seeds of this corruption were sown long before. The account begins in Genesis 6, where the Bible introduces the enigmatic figures known as the “sons of God” and their illicit union with human women.
(Genesis 6:1-2 NKJV); “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” These “sons of God” are often understood as fallen angels, beings of great power and knowledge who abandoned their heavenly estate.
They are also referred to as the “Watchers” in other ancient texts. These angels, consumed by lust, chose to defy the boundaries set by God, mingling with humanity in an unnatural and forbidden manner. (Jude 1:6); adds insight into their rebellion: “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.”
The union between these fallen angels and human women produced a race of giants known as the Nephilim. These beings were mighty, renowned for their strength and valor, yet their existence was a perversion of God’s creation.(Genesis 6:4); “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”
‘Friends, as the Nephilim and their offspring grew in number, so did the wickedness of humanity. The earth became filled with violence and corruption, and the knowledge imparted by the fallen angels only deepened the depravity of mankind. The Book of Enoch, an ancient text not included in the canonical Bible but referenced in (Jude 1:14-15); expands on this narrative.
It describes how the Watchers taught humanity forbidden knowledge—secrets of sorcery, weaponry, and other dark arts that fueled the growth of evil on the earth. God, seeing the extent of this corruption, was deeply grieved. (Genesis 6:5-6); “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” The world, once a reflection of God’s glory, had become a place of darkness and sin. The Watchers had not only defiled themselves but had also led humanity into a path of destruction. The earth, once teeming with life, was now a stage for the battle between good and evil—a battle that was tipping dangerously in favor of wickedness.
God, in His holiness and justice, could not allow this corruption to continue unchecked. A day of reckoning was inevitable. The time had come for God to cleanse the earth, to rid it of the evil that had taken root. (Genesis 6:7); “So the Lord said, ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Yet, in the midst of this impending judgment, there was one man who found favor in God’s eyes—Noah. He was a righteous man, blameless in his generation, who walked with God. (Genesis 6:8-9); “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.”
God revealed His plan to Noah, commanding him to build an ark, a vessel that would preserve him, his family, and a remnant of the animals during the flood that would soon cover the earth. (Genesis 6:13-14, 17-18); “And God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Make yourself an ark of gopherwood… And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.”
‘Friends, Noah obeyed God’s commands, constructing the ark according to the divine instructions. As he worked, the world around him continued in its wickedness, oblivious to the impending disaster. When the ark was completed, God instructed Noah to bring into the ark two of every kind of animal, male and female, and seven pairs of clean animals, along with his family. Once they were all safely inside, God Himself shut the door of the ark.
‘Friends, just to add, Noah was 500 years old when he had his 1st son Japheth, then the other two. Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. As you see back then mankind had longevity and it took 120 years to build the Ark. The Bible indicates that Noah began construction on the ark when he was 480 years old, and it took him 120 years to complete it.
(Genesis 7:11-12); “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.” The floodwaters came as a torrent, engulfing the earth. The heavens unleashed their fury, and the deep gave way, covering the highest mountains.
All life that was not within the ark perished in the flood, as God’s judgment swept away the wickedness that had defiled His creation. (Genesis 7:21-23); “And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.
So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground; both man and cattle, creeping things and birds of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.” For forty days, the floodwaters prevailed upon the earth, covering everything. It was as if creation itself was being undone, returning to the chaos from which it had been formed.
The earth, now purged of its corruption, was left in a state of watery desolation. After the flood waters had receded, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Noah, his family, and the animals emerged into a world that had been cleansed by God’s judgment. The earth, once marred by sin, was now given a fresh start.
(Genesis 8:20-21); “Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, ‘I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.”
God established a covenant with Noah, promising that never again would He destroy the earth with a flood. The rainbow was given as a sign of this covenant, a reminder of God’s mercy and faithfulness. Genesis 9:12-13); “And God said: ‘This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.”
Yet, even in this new beginning, the shadow of the Nephilim lingered. (Genesis 6:4); suggests that the Nephilim were on the earth “in those days, and also afterward,” indicating that their influence continued even after the flood. The consequences of the Watchers’ sin had left an indelible mark on humanity. The flood was a necessary act of divine judgment, a reset for a world that had spiraled into chaos and sin.
But the story of the Nephilim and the Watchers is a stark reminder that the battle between good and evil, between God’s purposes and the forces of darkness, is an ongoing struggle—a struggle that would continue throughout the history of mankind. After the flood, Noah and his family were the only humans left on earth.
From them, the earth was repopulated, and nations began to form. The descendants of Noah’s three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—spread across the earth, establishing various tribes and civilizations. (Genesis 10:32); “These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.”
Despite the fresh start, the shadow of sin persisted in humanity. The influence of the fallen Watchers had been so pervasive that it continued to resonate even after their immediate judgment. This was evident in the rise of various pagan cultures that would later be condemned by God for their idolatry and wickedness. One of the most notable post-flood events that highlighted humanity’s continuing rebellion was the construction of the Tower of Babel.
The descendants of Noah, instead of spreading out and filling the earth as God had commanded, chose to settle in one place and build a tower “whose top is in the heavens” (Genesis 11:4). This was an act of defiance, a symbol of human pride and an attempt to reach the divine without God. (Genesis 11:4); “And they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
God intervened, confusing their language and scattering them across the earth, effectively halting their plans. The city where the tower was built came to be known as Babel, a symbol of human pride and the chaos that ensues when humanity seeks to assert itself against God.
(Genesis 11:8-9); “So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. While the flood was a decisive judgment against the Nephilim and the corruption they had caused, it seems that their presence persisted in some form after the flood. The Bible hints at the reemergence of giants, particularly in the land of Canaan, where they would later pose a significant threat to the Israelites.
When the Israelites, under the leadership of Moses, were preparing to enter the Promised Land, they sent spies to scout the land of Canaan. The report they brought back was alarming, as they encountered descendants of the giants, which caused great fear among the Israelites. (Numbers 13:32-33); “And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, ‘The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); These giants, often referred to as the Anakim, were formidable adversaries. The Israelites’ fear of them led to a prolonged period of wandering in the wilderness, as they initially refused to trust God’s promise to give them victory over these inhabitants. Later, under the leadership of Joshua, the Israelites would confront these giants directly. Through God’s intervention, they were able to defeat many of these tribes, but the remnants of these giants continued to exist in certain regions.
(Joshua 11:21-22); “And at that time Joshua came and cut off the Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.”
One of the most famous descendants of these giants was Goliath, the Philistine warrior who would later confront David. Goliath’s defeat by the young shepherd David was a pivotal moment in Israelite history, demonstrating that God’s power could overcome even the mightiest of enemies. (1 Samuel 17:4, 49-50); “And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span…
Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.”
The fallen Watchers, who had instigated the corruption of humanity, were judged by God for their rebellion. The Book of Enoch, while not part of the canonical Bible, offers an expanded narrative on the fate of these rebellious angels. According to Enoch, the Watchers were bound and cast into a deep abyss, a place of darkness where they await the final judgment.
(2 Peter 2:4); references this event: “For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment…” Similarly, (Jude 1:6); also speaks of their punishment: “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.”
‘Friends,These verses highlight the severity of God’s judgment against the Watchers. Their actions had far-reaching consequences, not only for themselves but for the entire human race. Their imprisonment serves as a stark reminder of the cost of rebellion against God. The battle between good and evil, between God’s kingdom and the forces of darkness, did not end with the flood or the binding of the Watchers. It is a conflict that has continued throughout history, manifesting in various forms.
In the spiritual realm, the influence of these fallen beings persists. While the Watchers themselves are bound, their legacy lives on in the spiritual warfare that rages over the souls of men. The Bible speaks of principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness that continue to oppose God’s purposes on earth. Following the flood, the disembodied souls of the “Nephilim” evolved into what is known as evil spirits in the unseen realm.
(Ephesians 6:12); “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” This ongoing struggle is evident in the history of Israel, the people chosen by God to bring forth the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Throughout their history, Israel faced opposition from nations and spiritual forces that sought to derail God’s plan of redemption. Yet, through it all, God remained faithful to His covenant, guiding and protecting His people. The coming of Jesus Christ was the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise to crush the head of the serpent, a prophecy given in the Garden of Eden after the fall of man (Genesis 3:15).
Jesus, through His death and resurrection, dealt a decisive blow to the powers of darkness, securing victory for all who place their faith in Him. Colossians 2:15); “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” However, the final judgment, when all evil will be completely eradicated, is yet to come.
The Bible speaks of a future time when God will judge the living and the dead, and Satan, along with all his followers, will be cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:10); “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”
‘Friends, Despite the continued presence of evil, there is hope. The story of the Watchers, the Nephilim, and the flood is ultimately a story of God’s justice, but also of His mercy. Even in judgment, God provided a way of salvation for Noah and his family. This theme of redemption runs throughout the Bible, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ.
“Jesus is the “ark” of salvation for all who believe in Him. Just as Noah and his family were saved from the flood by entering the ark, so too are we saved from the wrath to come by entering into a relationship with Jesus. (1 Peter 3:20-21); draws a parallel between the flood and baptism, which symbolizes our entrance into Christ.
Who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ…”
Author’s Note;
In the end, the story of the Watchers and the flood is a reminder of both the severity of God’s judgment and the depth of His grace. While evil is real and this narrative explores the biblical account of the Watchers, the Nephilim, and God’s judgment through the flood. It begins with the fallen angels, known as the Watchers, who defied God by taking human wives, resulting in the birth of the Nephilim—giants who contributed to the widespread corruption of humanity.
God’s sorrow over this pervasive evil led to the flood, a divine act of judgment that cleansed the earth but also preserved Noah and his family as a remnant. The aftermath of the flood reveals that remnants of this corruption persisted, seen in the reemergence of giants like the Anakim and Goliath, and in the ongoing spiritual battle between good and evil.
Despite the gravity of judgment, the narrative underscores God’s mercy and the hope of redemption, ultimately pointing to the coming of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God’s promise to overcome evil and restore creation.
‘Friends, I sincerely hope that I have given you a realistic reality of historic times from our Father’s instruction book. This is not a fairy tale, but a true description of the drama that unfolded in real time. Whether you believe it or not, it is something to investigate further to prove everything for yourself! (1 Thessalonians 5:21); Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. “God Bless!”
