Some, in reading these words of Yahshua, mistakenly conclude that angels are asexual (without sex).
This is NOT what Yahshua said. Yahshua said nothing about the angels’ gender. He spoke only of
the act of marriage. Angels in heaven do not marry. Why is this so? One obvious reason is that all
angels are masculine. Despite popular depictions of angels as female, there is not a single description
of an female angel in the Bible. They always appear as masculine. The language used to describe them
is also masculine. One well known example is the following.

Genesis 19:1-6
Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When
Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. And he said, “Now
behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, and spend the night, and wash your feet;
then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night
in the square.” Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he
prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. Before they lay down, the men
of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every
quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring
them out to us that we may have relations with them.”

The homosexual men of Sodom perceived the angels to be attractive men. They desired to have
sexual relations with them. The angels did not appear genderless, nor did they appear female. They
were obviously perceived as masculine.

An objection may be raised to refute the identity of the “sons of God” as angels based upon Christ’s
statement that the angels in heaven do not marry. A person might say this invalidates any possibility
that it is angels being referred to in Genesis 6, for we are told “the sons of God saw that the daughters
of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.” How can we
reconcile Christ’s statement that the angels in heaven do not marry, and the statement in Genesis 6
that the sons of God took wives for themselves?

We must not overlook the fact that Christ added a very important qualification to His description of
the angels. Yahshua did NOT say “angels” do not marry, or take wives for themselves. He specifically
referenced “the angels in heaven.” This is a critical distinction, for the angels in heaven are holy
angels. They live to do the will of Yahweh. They have not transgressed by going after strange flesh,
and cohabiting with the daughters of men. The distinctiveness of the will of God being done by the
holy angels in heaven is expressed in the very well known Scripture passage referred to as “The
Lord’s Prayer.
