Sons of God, Mt Hermon and Transfiguration
I recently watched a few videos about angels and demons, produced by actual theologians. One video featured interaction with numerous guests like Tom Horn and others. At one point, a pastor from Florida was interviewed. He spoke of how Satan didn't really know who Jesus was, which I thought was an interesting statement. Turns out what he meant by that is that Satan knew Jesus was a "son of God" (like angels ), but may not have been fully aware of the fact that Jesus was the Son of God and that if Jesus succeeded, He would be the One who dealt Satan a fatal blow, predicted way back in Genesis 3 . Paul notes an important fact regarding the death of Jesus.
None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:8 ESV)
Paul was speaking of the "hidden wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 2:7 ), implying that God keeps many things close to His chest only revealing them when He sees fit, if at all. Had Satan understood who Jesus truly was (the GodMan ), he never would have incited Jewish leaders to have Jesus crucified because Satan literally signed his own eternal death warrant because of it.
In the first chapter of Job , we learn that the "sons of God" and Satan presented themselves before God in His throne room. Clearly, we are not talking about human beings here, but angelic beings in the spiritual realm.
The first reference found in Genesis 6 notes that certain "sons of God" took daughters of men as their wives. This act caused those sons of God sinned and fell.
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (Genesis 6:2 KJV)
Some believe these "sons of God" refers to the godly line of Seth, but not angels. The same phrase used of actual angelic beings in Job 1 is the same phrase used in Genesis 6 . I wonder if people balk at the idea that these were actual angels because it seems way to "unseemly" that angels could find a way to procreate with human women?
I believe in both instances, the Bible is referring to actual angels where in Genesis 6 angelic beings...
