This would explain much that still goes on today and is still to happen…

NO it does not. You are reading it incorrectly. The word ‘demon’ is not mentioned that far back in the Old Testament. The word ‘satan’ in the Old Testament means adversary and is not a proper noun.
 
The Book of Enoch, though not a part of the biblical canon, can give you a more detailed and elaborated explanation on that matter.
 
This is the first I heard of this. Can you provide chapter and verse references?
 
There is much debate as to the identity of the “sons of God.” But I always thought that the “sons of God” were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females ?

Also a major reason why God told Noah to be ready for the floods.
 
There is debate. However, the term demons was not in use in the Hebrew Bible, So Old Testament scripture does not tell us humans and demons had children together.
It is undeterminable who the 'sons of God ’ were. The Hebrew is 'sons of Elohim.
Elohim is translated as God, gods.

here is a comment on this passage, it is one of the most perplexing for meaning.

So in your opinion could you explain , Who is the false prophet of the end times?

Human , Demonic , Beast ?
 
Very intresting and thank you for your (name removed by moderator)ut.

Never occurred to me the false prophet could be a Jewish person.
 
Thanks for the tip. Now that I know, I’ll be on the lookout for such a man. How is it the Jewish people don’t know this so they can prepare against this false prophet, and where did you get this information?

There are a lot of interpretations of the various Antichrist/“man of perdition” prophecies in the OT and NT. A lot. A lot a lot.

The tribe of Dan thing comes from Jacob’s blessing/prophecy about how “Dan will be a serpent by the road,” and because Ephraim and Dan are not named in the list of saints from the tribes in Revelation.7:4-8.

The tribe of Dan had a reputation for being devious and for getting revenge. Samson was a member of the tribe of Dan.

Eventually Dan’s territory got conquered by the Assyrians, and the tribe of Dan got taken away and never got back to Israel. So they are one of the “lost tribes” integrated into Gentile society. (Which is probably why it doesn’t show up in the Revelation list of tribes.)

Which means that if the Antichrist comes from the tribe of Dan, he’s basically going to be a Gentile.
 
And then there are other theologians who discuss the antichrist as already have made an appearance or there being several of them through time.

Nothing is set in stone.
 
Only in certain neighborhoods in California and Oregon, not in most US cities.

One of the sugegsted interprettaions on that page, and the one that makes most sense to me, is that God-believing men took for wives women who were daughters of non-believers. Their children were thus not raised in the faith and this led to an increase in sinfullness.

Maybe a warning for our times too.
 
I don’t think this interpretation is correct. In Genesis the text points to sons of God and daughters of humans. You might think that God loving humans are sons of God but without Jesus is impossible.
And wouldn’t make sense to point to some women ( together with the sons of God in your interpretation, there must have been also daughters of God as well) as daughter of humans because of some personal sin.
 
I think the appointment of some of the fallen angels to be watchers on Earth, after the fall of men, makes sense if you think that not all of the fallen angels were thrown into Hell permanently. Serving the men would have been an splendid exercise of humility for these fallen angels. It looks like they failed again.
They could take full human form, and they hoped this human form would be eternal. But God already declared all humans mortals. Probably they hoped to take over the Earth as theirs forever. Their descendants, Nephilim did not have a human soul. The fallen angels intermingled with the human and animal genetics. Probably the dinosaurs disappeared because the Nephilim ate them.
 
I believe that the anti-Christ is Caesar Nero himself, who did his part in persecuting the ancient Christians.

Revelations was supposed to be a writing to give courage to the persecuted Christians of Rome.

There are a lot of bad theologians. Also, that bizarre theory is a more recent invention. Church Fathers and various Saints have never endorsed such a theory.

Some things are. The Antichrist would be one of them.

Well Genesis 6 did have the sons of God that had sex with women, creating a hybrid race that causing exceeding evil in the world. God destroyed it in with the flood, saving Noah and his family.

Today the evil we see in society is because of the rejection of Christ and the evil spirit of the anti-Christ. It’s been around since the days of the Apostles, causing havoc on all society.
 
You really wanna get more in depth on that? Read the Book of Enoch. Very popular early text. Cited as scripture by many early Christians and Jews. In fact, Jude cites it.
Just saying it isn’t one of those run in the mill texts, this was a very respected one. Only accepted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tawahedo Church.
