As Genesis 6:1-13 shows, prior to the Flood, angelic sons of God came to earth, evidently materializing in human form, and cohabited with attractive women.

Required fields are marked *. Two examples of historical context: 1. Daniel, I cant argue with the fact that just as Goliath is a formidable foe in the story, its hard to dismiss him as fiction since a couple details of him are based on accurate descriptions of Sea Peoples in the first half of the 12th century B.C.E,, notably his bronze greaves and javelin that was like a weavers beam (1 Samuel 17:6-7) that is mentioned in the Illiad (4.137).
