GIANTS IN THE BIBLE<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
Second: Angels cannot cohabit nor reproduce with women. Angels are spirit be<strong>in</strong>gs:<br />
But to which of <strong>the</strong> angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your<br />
footstool"? Are <strong>the</strong>y not all m<strong>in</strong>ister<strong>in</strong>g spirits sent forth to m<strong>in</strong>ister for those who will <strong>in</strong>herit salvation?<br />
(Hebrews 1:13-14)<br />
So <strong>the</strong> angels are ei<strong>the</strong>r created as m<strong>in</strong>ister<strong>in</strong>g spirits to serve those who will be <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> K<strong>in</strong>gdom or<br />
those who will be "sons of God". This would actually def<strong>in</strong>e 'Sons of God" as those who are served by<br />
<strong>the</strong> angels and should be different from <strong>the</strong>m at least <strong>in</strong> some ways.<br />
This is probably because <strong>the</strong>y were created more like mach<strong>in</strong>es to serve as messengers and for<br />
particular purposes or as I have expla<strong>in</strong>ed by book "Two Trees and <strong>the</strong> Serpent", <strong>the</strong>y are fixed on<br />
yetser Tov (<strong>the</strong> Good) by eat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> fruit of <strong>the</strong> Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as <strong>the</strong> Humans<br />
and Demons are fixed on Yetser Ha Ra (<strong>the</strong> Selfishness). The Demons and Adamic Race are fixed<br />
on self centered activities. They are all <strong>in</strong> fact created as Sons of God. Hence angels can also be<br />
<strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> list of 'Sons of Gos" s<strong>in</strong>ce we can consider Adamic race as "Sons of God" s<strong>in</strong>ce Adam<br />
was <strong>in</strong>deed Son of God. Did <strong>the</strong> status change because of <strong>the</strong> fall? Evidently God cared and <strong>the</strong>w<br />
<strong>the</strong>m out of <strong>the</strong> Garden to save <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> eternal torture and we know God has a plan to redeem sons<br />
of Adam and to give <strong>the</strong>m all <strong>the</strong> status of <strong>the</strong> Sons of God.<br />
There is ano<strong>the</strong>r group who are balanced with yetser HaRa and yetser HaTov - so that <strong>the</strong>y can act<br />
with full understand<strong>in</strong>g. They are <strong>the</strong> true children of God - <strong>the</strong> be<strong>in</strong>gs probably fallen but redeemed<br />
God. Death of Jesus on <strong>the</strong> cross, I believe have cosmic consequence beyond just human. Only<br />
we are not given <strong>the</strong> details. "Secret th<strong>in</strong>gs belongs to God, But what is revealed belongs to us and<br />
to our children."<br />
These form <strong>the</strong> sons of God <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> proper sense of <strong>the</strong> word. There are such be<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> all dimensions<br />
with perfect freedom of will and act as <strong>the</strong> heirs of God. We can of course call all created be<strong>in</strong>gs as<br />
sons of God and <strong>the</strong>y all partake <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>in</strong> a limited way with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> limit. But <strong>the</strong>y don’t<br />
partake of <strong>the</strong> freedom of God <strong>in</strong> creation. They sit beside <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r and is part of <strong>the</strong> function<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
<strong>the</strong> K<strong>in</strong>gdom of God. As such <strong>the</strong>re exists ano<strong>the</strong>r group who are full partakers <strong>in</strong> Div<strong>in</strong>ity and <strong>in</strong><br />
creation (outside of <strong>the</strong> Tr<strong>in</strong>ity). These "Sons of God" come from all dimensions <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Physical<br />
Dimension made of flesh as well. It is <strong>the</strong>se that have still got <strong>the</strong> total freedom of choice. What we<br />
