Nephilim who took wives for themselves from among the daughters of men, is compared to the
abominations committed by the men of Sodom and Gomorrah. These men abandoned the natural
order established by Yahweh. They forsook the function, role, or utility of the woman as a sexual
partner, and burned in their lust for one another (Romans 1:27). Jude conveys to us that some of the
fallen angels followed a similar course by rejecting the natural order of Yahweh. They lusted in their
hearts after the daughters of men, and engaged in sexual relations with them which was a
transgression of the will of their Creator.

In four verses in the sixth chapter of Genesis, a wealth of information is conveyed to us. The motive
of the angels is given. Some very popular writings exist today that suggest that the angels were
motivated by a desire to corrupt the genetic purity of mankind. It is proposed that by mixing the seed
of angels with the DNA of man that the promised Seed of the woman, Yahshua the Messiah, would
be prevented from coming forth. This idea was set forth by E.W. Bullinger in the late 1800s and early
1900s. It has been greatly popularized by the writings of Tom Horn and others. Nevertheless, the
Bible does not reveal this to be the angels’ motive. Let us review again what is written in Genesis.

Genesis 6:1-2
Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to
them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for
themselves, whomever they chose.

Here the matter is stated very plainly. The bene ha Elohim, the sons of God (aka the fallen angels)
SAW that the daughters of men were beautiful. Here we observe a plain statement of cause and effect.
The sons of God saw the daughters of men were beautiful, consequently, because they had no regard
for the will of God and sought only to fulfill their own will, they took wives for themselves,
whomever they chose.

Some deny that the angels are capable of lust, or other human failings. This is not true. The eyes have
always been a portal through which evil enters. This is a fact that is as true for angels as it is for men.
Yahshua stated:

Matthew 6:22-23
“The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you
is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

The eye is capable of admitting both darkness and light. We must therefore be careful what we set
our attention on. If we dwell too long on something while entertaining evil thoughts toward the object
of our attention, we give sin room to take root and grow. Ultimately, if our eye remains evil, it will
give rise to the fruit of disobedience and rebellion.

I John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life,
is not from the Father, but is from the world.
