Genesis 6 is one of the most debated and mysterious chapters in all of Scripture. Just a few verses long, it opens the floodgates to giants, angels, hybrids, judgment, and divine grief. Some scholars avoid it. Some pastors skip it. But what if these verses are not just ancient curiosities — what if they are the key to understanding today’s chaos?
In this series, we’ll examine Genesis 6 with fresh eyes. We’ll break down its Hebrew meanings, theological implications, and archaeological echoes. This is not a search for myths — this is an investigation into what the Bible actually says, and why it matters right now. If you’ve ever wondered how Genesis 6 explained the flood, the giants, and the spiritual war behind our world — this series is for you.
The Sons of God and the Daughters of Men
“When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.” — Genesis 6:1–2 (ESV)
The phrase “sons of God” (Hebrew: bene ha’elohim) appears elsewhere in the Old Testament to describe angelic beings (Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7). Early Jewish interpretation, the Book of Enoch, and New Testament writers in Jude and 2 Peter all affirm that these were not ordinary men — but angels who crossed a boundary.
These angels took human women as wives, and the resulting offspring were called “Nephilim” — mighty, unnatural beings who filled the earth with violence.
For more on the watchers and their influence, see Ezekiel’s Wheel and UAPs.
All Flesh Had Corrupted Its Way — Biological and Spiritual Decay
Genesis 6:12 says, “God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.”
This wasn’t just a moral failure — it was a biological one. The Hebrew word for “corrupt” (shachath) can mean spoiled, ruined, or decayed — as in genetically compromised. Could it mean that animals were also altered? Chimeras, hybrids, and unnatural breeding aren’t just science fiction. Genesis 6 might be describing a time when humanity — with the influence of fallen angels — began to play God.

The Nephilim — Who Were the Giants in Genesis 6?
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.” — Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim (from npl, meaning “to fall” or “fallen ones”) were more than tall warriors. They were possibly the origin of the myths of titans and demigods in pagan lore. Their presence in the land was so devastating, it triggered God’s judgment.
But note the phrase: “and also afterward.” This suggests the Nephilim re-emerged post-Flood — a thread that leads directly to Goliath, the Rephaim, and other post-Flood giants in the Old Testament.

God’s Grief and the Coming Judgment in Genesis 6
“The Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.” — Genesis 6:6
Genesis 6 is not just about strange beings — it’s about the broken heart of God. This is the first time in Scripture where God expresses grief. He doesn’t react with rage alone, but with sorrow. The world He made had twisted itself beyond recognition.
The result? Judgment through the Flood. But also preservation — through Noah, a righteous man who “walked with God.”
Conclusion: Why Genesis 6 Explained Still Matters Today
Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man” (Matthew 24:37). That wasn’t just about sin. It was about unnatural corruption. About spiritual invasion. About humanity crossing lines it was never meant to cross.
Genesis 6 isn’t mythology — it’s history and prophecy.
This series will uncover how these ancient verses explain the Nephilim, fallen angels, hybrid creatures, and even modern-day questions about aliens, AI, and the spiritual battle beneath it all.
We’ll also explore future theories — like whether the Great Pyramids were built before the Flood as survival structures by hybrid beings, and why recent radar scans have revealed chambers stretching hundreds of meters beneath them.
Because before the end returns… we need to remember how it all began.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Genesis 6 Explained
🤔 What is Genesis 6 really about?
Genesis 6 describes a time when “the sons of God” (likely fallen angels) took human women as wives, resulting in the birth of the Nephilim — giant hybrid beings. This era of spiritual corruption and violence led God to grieve and bring judgment through the Flood.
🧬 Who were the Nephilim in the Bible?
The Nephilim were the offspring of divine beings and human women. The Hebrew root npl means “fallen ones,” suggesting they were hybrid giants. Genesis 6:4 says they were on the earth “in those days, and also afterward,” indicating their influence may have continued post-Flood.

👼 Were the “sons of God” really fallen angels?
Most early Jewish interpretations — and texts like the Book of Enoch — affirm that “sons of God” (bene ha’elohim) refers to angels. This view is echoed in Job 1:6 and Jude 1:6, where angelic beings leave their proper dwelling and are judged.
🌍 Did all creatures really become corrupted?
Yes. Genesis 6:12 says, “all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.” This suggests that not only humans, but animals may have been altered — possibly through hybridization or genetic manipulation inspired by fallen angels. This is echoed in other ancient writings and hinted at in modern parallels to genetic engineering.
🧠 Was there an advanced civilization before the Flood?
It’s possible. Genesis implies humanity multiplied quickly, and traditions suggest the Nephilim taught mankind forbidden knowledge. The construction of large-scale architecture (like megaliths or pyramids) and lost technologies could point to a highly developed — yet corrupted — pre-Flood world.
🏛️ Were the pyramids built before the Flood?
Some alternative researchers and biblical theorists propose that the Great Pyramids were constructed before the Flood — possibly by Nephilim or humans guided by them. Recent discoveries of vast underground chambers beneath Giza have reignited this debate. While mainstream archaeology dates the pyramids post-Flood, the Bible does not specifically address them.
🌊 Did the Nephilim survive the Flood?
Genesis 6:4 says the Nephilim were on the earth “and also afterward,” which suggests that somehow their bloodline continued. This may be how giants like Goliath and the Rephaim existed in later biblical times. Some believe these survivors may have been linked to other post-Flood civilizations that opposed Israel.
👽 Are aliens in the Bible?
Not directly — but many “alien” encounters described today mirror spiritual deception. Some Christians believe so-called aliens are actually demons or manifestations of fallen angelic beings, continuing to deceive humanity. Ezekiel’s vision and modern UAP sightings may reflect multiple tiers of spiritual and technological activity.

⚠️ Why does Jesus say the end times will be like the days of Noah?
In Matthew 24:37, Jesus warns that the last days will mirror the days of Noah — not just in moral wickedness, but in spiritual corruption, boundary-breaking behavior, and perhaps even unnatural creations. Genesis 6 isn’t just history — it’s prophecy.
