The flood narrative is often read beginning at Genesis 6:5, but the preceding verses (Genesis 6:1–4) are essential for understanding why the flood occurs. Those verses describe the “sons of God” taking human women, producing the Nephilim, and setting in motion a pattern of escalating corruption. Ignoring this passage creates incoherence and makes God’s judgment seem arbitrary or excessive.
The phrase “sons of God” is best understood in light of its usage elsewhere in Scripture, particularly in Job, where it clearly refers to divine beings in a heavenly council.
The recurring themes across civilizations—flood traditions, serpent imagery, divine-human hybrids—are seen not as coincidences but as fragments of truth that have been reshaped and corrupted. Counterfeit stories borrow from reality but twist it, much like false currency imitates genuine bills. The solution is not fascination with myths but deep familiarity with the biblical story. By knowing the authentic narrative—centered on God as the uncreated Creator and on His redemptive purposes—distortions and rival spiritual narratives can be recognized and resisted.

Jubilees 5:1 And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the malakim of YAHWEH saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.
2 And torahlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth -all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and torahlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.
Jasher 4:18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke YAHWEH; and YAHWEH saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
19 And YAHWEH said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them.

The sons of God are also called Watchers (Enoch). They are the rulers of this world. Not all their progenies are giants. Achilles was not a giant. The 3 races progeny of the Fallen Angels
Psalm 82
Job 38:6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Genesis 19:1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.
2 And he said, “Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” And they said, “No, but we will spend the night in the open square.”
3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.
5 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 know them carnally.”
6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him,
7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly!
8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.
10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.
