Genesis 6:1-6
“And it came to pass, when men [ruddy, human beings, the adam individuals— as a species of earthen beings— a being of lower degree persons (lower than God)] began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons [builders of the family name— in the widest sense, relation, branch, fruits, people, rebel/robber servant, spark and tumultuous ones] of God [the Supreme Divine deity, magistrate(s), of highest degree— carried beyond: angels, exceeding gods, or the exceeding God— of highest/great, judge(s) and mighty] —saw the daughters [female of son] of men [the ruddy, human beings, the adam individuals— as a species of earthen beings— a being of lower degree persons (lower than God)] —that they were fair [good, favored, beautiful]; they took them wives [feminine mankind, adulteress, together] of all which they chose [selected].
And the Lord said— My spirit [life, rational being including expression and functions, mind] shall not always strive [rule, judge (umpire) at law, contend, minister, plead the cause] with man, for he is also flesh [H7683— stray or strayed, sin, deceived, in error, gone astray ignorantly: H1320— body person of skin]: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
There were giants [a feller— bullies and tyrants] in the earth in those days; and also after that —when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them— the same (of those) became mighty men [powerful warrior tyrant, champions— chief, giant/excelling men, mighty/strong, valiant men] who were men [H582 mortal of blood, persons] of old [ancient, of past time] —of renown [position, honor, character, famous name or report].
And GOD [same word used for LORD, the self existent eternal one— Jehovah] saw that the wickedness [bad/evil— naturally or morally, adversity, calamity and displeasure, distress, grievous harm and hurt, misery, sorrow, trouble and wretchedness] of man [ruddy, human beings, the adam individuals— as a species of earthen beings— a being of lower degree persons (lower than God)] —was great [abundant and chief/captain] in the earth; and that every imagination [form and conception that is purposed, framed, and mind imagined work] of the thoughts [contrived, textured, machined, intended, planned/plotted, cunning work] of his heart— was only evil [adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, displeasure, distress, evil, exceeding great and grievous harm/hurt, ill, marked of mischief, misery, sad/sorrowful, troubling, vexed, wicked, wretched and wrong] continually.
And it repented [sighed in breath strongly, made sorry] the Lord that he had made man on the earth— and it grieved [fashioned in pain or anger, displeased] him at his heart.”
______
Now, if we JUST look at the scripture itself— we can see that MEN means— ruddy, human being, the adam individuals— as a species of earthen beings— a being of lower degree persons —lower than God; and THEY— began to multiply on the face of the earth— and daughters were born to them: these are the ‘average,’ if you will— human dirt beings.
Now, these average joes, or average human beings bore daughters, whom the sons, or— builders of the family name— in the widest sense, relation— branch, fruits, people, servants, sparks and tumultuous ones— of God— the Supreme Divine deity, magistrate, of highest degree: angels, exceeding gods, or the exceeding God— of highest/great, judge, and mighty —noticed: these are all humans mentioned, but some follow God, and some do not.
And it’s clear we are speaking of a ‘union’ or a yoking— that was not to take place. As I read this— I am reminded how many times God said— do not marry their people, or produce children of them.
Deuteronomy 7:3
“Neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give unto his son— nor his daughter shall you take unto your son.”
And interestingly, like Adam and Eve saw that the ‘fruit’ (product) was ‘good for food, and PLEASANT TO THE EYES, AND TO BE DESIRED—’ then did they partake: the same as these here.
And the sons of God— were to be those set apart, and following the holy God, their Father and Creator; and he tells us to not be unequally yoked or marry with the people who do not uphold him— who uphold idols/devils.
2 Corinthians 6:14
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?”
And yet— we see the sons of God (ones who are to be separated, consecrated wholly unto God) —took themselves wives, even though they were to be separate unto God— which they chose or selected: and in doing so— they created an offspring of giants, or— bully tyrants, fellers— who cut down others: developing mighty men [mortal of blood, persons] of old, which means— powerful, warrior tyrants, champions, chiefs who excel in strength; and men of renown— position of honor, character, famous name or report.
I am not taking from any other books outside scripture, nor am I reading anything into any scriptural text— just what has been provided to us in the canon of scripture contained in the 66 books of the bible. And no where in here have we come across any kind of being that is not made in God’s image (mankind) —but we have, in a sense— beheld a ‘cross breed,’ if you will— in that we were not to mix blood or DNA with those who are not in covenant with, nor following God holy: for in this— they uphold idols, devils and the kingdom of God’s enemy or opposition.
And in this, the Lord said— his Spirit will not always strive— or rule, judge, umpire at law, contend, minister to, or plead the cause with MAN— because he is also flesh, or— has strayed, sinned, is deceived and deceives, is in error, and gone astray from him and his counsel and leadership in their lives— ignorantly so.
And GOD saw that the wickedness —bad/evil— naturally or morally, adversity, calamity and displeasure, distress, grievous harm and hurt, misery, sorrow, trouble and wretchedness— OF MAN— the ruddy, human beings, the adam individuals— as a species of earthen beings— a being of lower degree persons (lower than God)] —WAS GREAT— or abundant and chief/captain in the earth; NOTE— this does not say God remarked that the angelic, or the devils, or anyone else was walking in GREAT EVIL— but that he mentions, MAN WAS —and that he would not always plead and contend at law (or conduct) with MAN: his problem was with man, in whom was made after HIS IMAGE; he already knew about other fallen spirit beings— man— was not supposed to.
And that every imagination —form and conception that is purposed, framed, and mind imagined work— of the thoughts, or— the contrived, textured, machined, intended, planned/plotted, cunning work of HIS (man’s) heart— was only evil, adverse, afflicted, bad, calamitous, displeasing, distressing, evil, exceedingly great and grievously harmful or hurtful, ill— marked of mischief, misery, sad/sorrowful, troubling, vexed, wicked, wretched— WRONG— continually: not angels, not devils, or any other being I can detect here: MAN.
For not only were the ones not following God, grievous to God— but now, the sons of God (those led of his Spirit, and supposed to be consecrated to him, and sanctified by his Spirit and leading) —are mixing with the daughters of common man, and all their affiliations of spirit, and spiritual problems (idolatry and devils) are all woven together— under unequal yoking, or marriage.
This is a direct reflection of committing adultery in the spirit realm— following satan and his lead and ways, rebelling God holy— cheating on him with idolatry, devils and devil ways— in not remaining separated unto God and holiness (it’s a temptation choice to choose from): yoking with darkness. And in that yoking— mighty men of renown, who became those who cut down others, bullied and who became tyrants over them— were born.
And in this— it repented the Lord, it caused him to sigh in breath strongly, and made him sorry— that he had made MAN— on the earth; and it grieved and fashioned him in pain and anger— and it displeased him at his core (heart).
I have not found one area that speaks of some ‘otherly’ creature that came and mated with humans, in a sexual manner; and as well— angels do not fleshly procreate— as they are spirit beings.
Matthew 22:28-30
“Therefore in the resurrection— whose wife shall she be of the seven? For they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them— You do err, not knowing the scriptures— nor the power [miracle work] of God. For in the resurrection— they neither marry [wed], nor are given in marriage— but are as [now in the manner of] the angels [who are messengers who bring good tidings] of God in heaven.”
He is stating in this— that angels are messengers of God who bring good tidings from heaven; they are spirit beings who do God’s handiwork of bringing tidings, messages, instructions, help, assistance or any other good work: they do not operate in carnal affairs— for fleshly procreation, is a carnal affair: they are now created in the manner of spiritual affairs only, in a spirit body— and spirit bodies are not carnal bodies, nor have need of carnal things (urination, defecation, procreation, or anything else— they are glorified bodies, or vehicles).
And by this definition— we can see that angels can be ANY created spirit being, human or otherwise— who are on a mission: hence, seraphim, cherubim, or cloud of witnesses— like Elijah and Moses who came to Jesus.
Even current, modern day Jews disagree from one to the next about the giants (who are they), the sons of God (who are they), the daughters of men (who are they): as I researched all of this in scripture, I came across all different, current and modern day beliefs around these scriptures, referring to angels (but I think we have discovered, those can be any spiritual being), or humans, or hybrid created beings.
But one thing I myself have come to the conclusion of, in regards to the Word of God, is that— he’s consistent: so, if he speaks in Romans 8 about the ‘sons of God,’ who will manifest his Spirit, as he leads them, who operate not from the flesh— but by the Spirit of God— that these are HIS CHILDREN offspring…
Then— I myself, with all this study, currently, at this time, believe— the sons of God are those who are to be the called out ones, who follow God holy; and the sons/daughters of men— were the common human beings who did not, necessarily: and in doing so— not following God— they entertained devils, spiritual beings of fallenness— and in that— created tyrant bullies who cut down other people, and towered over them in stature (whether literal or spiritual): and if that manner is taken (that’s not how our God works) —then DEVILS or DEMONS were worked with— other spirit power sources, intertwined with human affairs.
And before a voice say— “Oh, but Janet— their strength and might was otherworldly, so this must be evidence of their mixing with fallen angels.”
Again— what’s an angel— but a spirit being (either holy or unholy), and we have another spirit being (as well, humans are spirit beings made in God’s image) who visited a man, and in that— he was a mighty man of valor as well: Samson: even David or Gideon— in their own right.
In Judges 15:3–8, 11–15 —Samson burns the corn of the Philistines— and slays a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Judges 16:2–3 —Samson carries away the doors of the city gates, and Judges 15:20— he judges Israel twenty years— in the days of the Philistines: and Goliath was the ‘uncircumcised Philistine’ that David defeated.
In 1 Samuel 17:50-53 —David defeated Goliath with a sling and a rock. He killed him without even using a sword; and even— David ran over and pulled out Goliath's sword— then he used it to cut off his head.
And regarding Gideon— an angel delivered a message about his valor, in the sight of the Lord.
Judges 6:12
"And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him— The LORD is with you— you mighty man of valor.”
My point here is that— whether backed by a holy spirit (the Lord), or backed by evil spirits— man has the ability to be mighty, large, and dominating— either way.

“The name Nephilim corresponds to the Hebrew word Anakim, meaning— ‘giants.’ At any rate— ordinary people were frightened of these ‘giants.’ Other commentators simply understand the term Nephilim as representing human beings who— due to their imposing stature— made everyone fall down before them— in a state of fear.
Rabbi Joseph Kimchi explains the word Nephilim as meaning— ‘great men, giants.’ He quotes Job 14:18 as a parallel and illustrative example that— even the most powerful and great phenomena (such as tall mountains) on earth— will ultimately fall, and collapse.
So, according to the more simple reading of the text— they were giant men. I believe it would be correct to say that mainstream Judaism explains the term to refer to giant men.”
From Yeshiva. co

{Quoted and taken from Jpost . com}
“So what do we know about the Nephilim? Are they giants? Do they descend from angels or fallen angels? Was the famous giant Goliath one such entity?
What does the Bible say about Nephilim?
The phrase "Nephilim" appears in three locations in the Bible. Once in the Book of Genesis, once in the Book of Numbers and another in the Book of Ezekiel.
The first mention in the Book of Genesis takes place in Genesis 6:4, during parashat Noah. The verse is as follows:
"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of the nobles would come to the daughters of man, and they would bear for them; they are the mighty men, who were of old, the men of renown."
Right before that, in Genesis 6:2, it says the following verse: "That the sons of the nobles saw the daughters of man when they were beautifying themselves, and they took for themselves wives from whomever they chose."
Genesis 6:2 —In this case, the phrase "sons of the nobles" is a translation of "bnei elohim," which can be translated as "sons of God." However, this is not always translated that way.
According to the biblical commentator Rashi, the phrase refers to the sons of princes and judges.
Others have posited that the sons of God were angels who had children with humans. The result, according to some, were the Nephilim.
While this theory is especially popular among Christians, it is present in Judaism too— specifically in the Midrash. Angels in Judaism are seen as just messengers with no autonomy— even Satan is but another angel doing God's work.
Here, the verse identifies the giants as the sons of Anak, another group of people known as the Anakim. The identity of Anak is a matter of debate, but there is historic corroboration for the existence of the Anakim. Perhaps not as giants, but as a people, and they are mentioned in ancient Egyptian records.
The question of angelic descent isn't really an issue here. In this case, these Nephilim seem to simply be giants.
The last mention of the Nephilim in the Bible is in the Book of Ezekiel. The verse reads as follows:
"But they will not lie with the mighty men, [for they are] inferior to the uncircumcised who descended to the Grave with their weapons, and they laid their swords under their heads and their iniquities were upon their bones, for the destruction of the mighty was in the land of the living."
Here, the phrase "mighty men" in Hebrew is either "Gibborim noflim" or "Gibborim Nephilim."
If the case is the former, which seems likely, then it simply means— "fallen heroes" or— "fallen warriors."
(regarding Goliath) Regarding Goliath's height, this is also something that has been debated. But regardless, the results are far less "gigantic" than other giants, like how big the Nephilim are commonly assumed to be.
Generally speaking, the two main estimates of Goliath's height in the text, depending on the translation— are that Goliath is either four cubits and a span (6 feet 9 inches or 2.06 meters) or six cubits and a span (9 feet 9 inches or 2.97 meters). The former are the oldest texts [6 ft, 9 in], including the Dead Sea Scrolls and the writing of Josephus— and are at a much more conservative estimate. In fact, while such a height would be far larger than anyone else at the time— it is something that is very much realistic and has happened in real life on many occasions.”
—JPost . com
{Wikipedia quotes the same debate over the older religious texts of scripture stating 4 cubit and a span, verses 6 cubits and a span: and the older texts are dated: the Dead Sea Scrolls text of Samuel, is from the late 1st century BCE, and the historian Josephus— is also from 1st-century BCE, around the year 100; and the major Septuagint manuscripts, all give Goliath's height as— four cubits and a span.}
______
Both God (the Spirit of), and fallen spirits— can enforce strength in a man, we have seen this with demonic oppression, and in historical bible facts of the stories of mighty men of valor, like Samson, and others.
But either way around it— spirits are involved— but what is not certain is some sort of ‘fleshly’ interfacing— but rather, spiritual. If we cannot even agree on the height of Goliath— we are not certain; and men are known to embellish, and discrepancies are developed.
I will say (if I have not already) I am not here to discuss aliens, lizard people, or otherwise hybrids— in the physical; because I am here to keep to the factual truths of scripture; and that is— that spirit beings have intertwined within humans for a long time— in oppressions/possessions— and in so, they have moved in extraordinary ways— but so has God moved in his people— in extraordinary ways.
The only hybridization that will matter for all of eternity— is whether you allowed, upheld, and been in cohabitation with fallen entities in your life (idols); that is the only hybridization that could take you down for eternity, into eternal estrangement: and all other powers, and spirits— we have dominion over, anyway.
What form a fallen entity takes— does not matter; what matters is whether you are coming against them, or if you have been intertwining with them— inside your soul soil, and hence— body.

It’s funny to me, literally— I mean comical— that it hasn’t by far and large crossed our minds that— upon the other side of this realm, in our perfected persons— that we would not be angelic messengers (along with whomever other creatures God created in spirit form) who come back to ‘deliver messages and good tidings;’ that is what Elijah and Moses were doing with Christ, yes? Bringing forth a delivery of speech about something. Or that we would come back (being we are alive in Christ, not spirits of the dead) and give assistance to people here in this realm— or otherwise do the will of the Father in the earth realm— as in the heavenly realm.
I have learned to look at the truth with Father, which includes looking at ‘us,’ mankind, in our true spiritual form, and with a glorified body— like Christ has; who is the first born (or, first birthed) of a different ‘kind;’ a kind of heavenly and earthly creature— that is divine in their attributes, and in their likeness (manner).
Now— if we're honest— doesn’t that sound like the idea of what we consider,
‘an angel?’
Just saying— I count nothing out, and I ask a lot of questions. 😉
There are likely— MANY— spirit beings, of all different kinds— who carry out the will of the Father (but, we are one of them).

Hebrews 2
“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed [cautious attention towards— about applying oneself to adhere to, and beware] to the things which we have heard— lest at any time we should slip [flow by us, carelessly— and pass us by].
For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast [firm] —and every transgression [violation] and disobedience [inattention of disobedience] received a just recompense of reward [requital— good or bad— returned]; how shall we escape, if we neglect [are careless and negligent of] such great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord— and was confirmed unto us by them who heard him; God also bearing them witness [testifying further— jointly— united in adding evidence] —both with signs [indications] and wonders [prodigy or portent— an amazing or unusual thing out of the ordinary course of nature], and with divers [various characterized] miracles [force of power, ability and abundance of violent, mighty, wonderful strength], and gifts [separation of distributions] of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
For unto the angels [spirit being messengers of good tidings] he has not put in subjection [subordinate in obedience, under in obedience, submitting themselves to] —the world [the globe land] to come [expected, intended with a purposed duty of necessity] —whereof we speak.
But ‘one—’ in a certain place testified [protested earnestly, hortavively— strongly], saying— What is man [the manfaced human countenance] —that you are mindful [reminded, recall to mind, and remember] of him? Or the son [kinship child] of man —that you visit [inspect and select, and go see] him?
You made [ranked and have in influence placed] him a little [slightly] lower than [under the rank of] —the angels [messengers who bring good tidings]; you crowned [adorn him with honorary crowning] him with glory [dignity, honor and praise] and honor [value paid, valuable, esteemed to the highest degree— dignity itself, precious] —and did set [place, designate, constitute and appoint and ordained] him —over [superimposing in time place order, and in distribution of] the works [labor actions] of your hands [power, as a means of instrument]: You have put [placed in subordination to obey] all things in subjection [placed in subordination to obey] under his feet [footstool]. For in [a fixed position, resting] that he put [placed in subordination to obey] all in subjection under him— he left nothing that is not put under [placed in subordination to obey] him.
*But [nevertheless] now [at the present and immediate] we do not see [discern and experience] yet —all things [the whole] put under [placed in subordination to obey] him.
**But we see Jesus [Jehoshua] —who was made [set in rank and influence] a little lower than [slightly lesser in rank or influence] the angels [spirit being messengers who bring good tidings] —for the suffering [to undergo hardship, pain, emotion and influence] of death— crowned [adorned with honor] with glory [dignity, honor and praise] and honor [value paid, valuable, esteemed to the highest degree— dignity itself, precious]; that he —by the grace [graciousness, and gratifying manner and acceptable actions] of God [the Supreme divinity, exceeding high magistrate] —should taste [eat and experience] death— for every [the whole of] man.
For it became [was suitable and proper, fit and right to] him— for whom all things, and by whom are all things (this denotes ownership) —in bringing many sons [kinship] unto glory [dignity, honor and praise] —to make [complete, accomplish, consummate in character, consecrate, finish, fulfill and make perfect] the captain [chief leader, author and prince] of their salvation [rescue, safety, deliverance (physical or moral), health and saving] —perfect [complete, accomplished, consummate in character, consecrated, finished, fulfilled and made perfect] —through sufferings [undergoing hardship, pain, emotion and influence of].
For both— he who sanctifies [is made holy ceremonially, purified and consecrated, and mentally venerate— meaning regarded with great respect, adored and revered], and they who are sanctified (by him) —are all of one: for which cause [reason, motive and manner] he is not ashamed to call them brethren [womb brothers] —Saying— I will declare [announce, report and show] your name [authority and character of the surname (or family name)] unto my brethren [womb brothers] —in the midst of the church [called out, who meet in congregation and community together as members on earth, the saints— in earth or heaven both] will I sing praise unto you. And again— I will put my trust [convince and rely with certainty, agree and be assured in belief with confidence, content, obeying and being persuaded of trust] in him.
And again— Behold I, and the children [immature Christian young] which God has given [granted and delivered to] me.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers [share in] of flesh [carnality, and nature of] and blood— he also himself likewise took part [shared and participated] of the same; that through death— he might destroy [entirely abolish, make nought and put away] him who had the power [dominion vigor] of death— that is— the devil [a traducer— defamer who attacks the reputation of another, false accuser/slanderer]; and deliver [change and release, remove] them— who through [the channel and actions of] fear [fright and terror] of death [figurative or literal] —were all their lifetime subject [in danger of guilt and liability of a condition and penalty or imputation of] —to bondage [slavery].
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels [spirit messengers of good tidings]; but he took on him the seed [nature and sperm offspring] of Abraham.
Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren— so that he might be a merciful [actively compassionate] and faithful [trustworthy and true] high priest (intercessor mediary) in things pertaining to God (understanding all our affliction and interceding on behalf of, and making a way to be reconciled) —to make reconciliation [conciliate or pacifying, atone for sin, being propitious— favorable or gracious with a good chance for success] —for the sins [offenses] of the people.
For in that he himself has suffered [experienced painfully, vexed] being tempted [tested and scrutinized, enticed to discipline, and proved] —he is able to succor [relieve and aid] those who are tempted [tested and scrutinized, enticed to discipline, and proved].”

The story of God’s great LOVE
For humanity— appears
___________________________________
Here we begin by seeing we need to give heed to God and the truth, and be sanctified and washed by it— becoming it. He says— be cautious, giving attention toward applying oneself, and adhering to— being warned, or beware— lest you should slip at any time, from the things you have heard.
That means— we have a calling to attend to, or tend the gardens of our souls— and keep them hospitable toward the truth, and the God of— in righteousness— clean and ironed out in our conduct; or— we could, indeed— slip: which means— flow by us, carelessly— and pass us by.
Because, it states— angels (or messengers attending to God’s good pleasure and purposes) —and the words spoken to them is firm; whereby every transgression or violation and disobedience, being inattentive to ‘the Word of God,’ receives a just recompense of reward, or a requital (that’s a return) of the same back to them.
So— how shall we get away with anything contrary to that— if we neglect through carelessness and negligence of the gift given to us (the Word, the truth, and reconciliation to our Father) —such great salvation?
The Lord spoke these things to us, and confirmed the word to us— through all who heard him, and who bore witness (record and testimony— united with evidence) —both with signs or indications of the truth, and wonders or amazing and unusual things happening— out of the natural course, or what’s normal— and with various miracles in character, force, power, ability, abundance of violent— mighty— and wonderful strength to do so, complete with gifts and distributions of the Holy Ghost— according to his good pleasure.
And why has man been able to do all this with God— because God did not put the future of the whole new coming world in the hands and dominion of angels (spirit beings), subjecting all to their hands or dominion; he placed the world in the hands of men— spirit beings made in his image, with bodies physical: his children in likeness (inner conduct) and image (outer look).
But one such being, protested earnestly, strongly against God making man and placing him so closely related to God, and in God’s place of dominion with him; he said— What is this mankind that you are mindful of them, you remember them upon your thoughts and heart, and bring them to mind so often? As well— why do you care so much about their young— that you actually inspect them, looking closely unto them in care, to select or choose them out, and go see them— as you visit them?
Wow— jealous, inferior, fearful and prideful— is this spirit; in that their is comparison (see why that is of the devil and satan), and there is an inferiority complex that is born out of fear, and pride is the focus on self— as this being reiterates to God— their importance to God: when we are negative about others, we are simultaneously pointing to our superiority to them, or above them (hence, pride).
He went on to state the rank mankind has with God— note, that is a place of fear and pride too— as this being is now thinking of where they stand compared to man, as well as what dominion they will carry; as this being thinks highly of the angelic spirit order: and is upset they are crowned, or adorned in such dignity, honor and praise to, and from, God— and seen as VALUABLE and ESTEEMED TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE— in dignity itself.
And that God placed, designated, constituted, appointed and ordained them to this; and set them over all the labors, actions and works of God himself— as a powerful instrument of. And in this the fear and upset of pride was shown— as it was recognized that all things have been placed in man’s hands— under God— like a footstool to kick back on, in a fixed (permanent) position— and resting in it: that all things are to obey mankind.
BUT— here the being states— "Yeah, nevertheless, right now, at this present and immediate time— we cannot discern, and do not experience this dominion taking place.”
Folks— that’s because of our fall; and also— is the reason we need to step back into position, in Christ, and take up our rightful identities again— under God.
And this is where Christ comes in (Jehoshua/Jesus) —where he was set in a carnal suit, and subject to the likeness of sinful flesh and nature (as like us, sharing in that part with us) —being set lower than spirit beings alone (angels as we know them) —and for the purpose of suffering, or undergoing hardship, pain, and emotion— influenced by death— for us: who is crowned, adorned with honor, with dignity and praise (glory), and with VALUE, as valuable— esteemed to the highest degree— dignity itself manifest in him— and precious is he!
That by the graciousness and gratifying, acceptable manner and actions of God himself— he should taste, or experience death— for the whole of all of mankind.
For it became him— he found it was suitable, proper, fit and right to do all this; because all things are made of him, and all things are for him and his pleasure (ownership); and in doing all this— it, the actions— and the Son himself, the Word of God (the truth) —would bring in many sons, or kinship into sonship— into dignity, value/honor, praise— and would complete, accomplish, consummate in character, consecrating a people unto himself through it all, and the union of yoking in covenant to/with him and the truth: in this, making him (Jehoshua/Jesus) the chief leader, author and principality (prince) or captain of us, our rescue, safety, deliverance (moral or physical), our salvation— and our faith; and this— bringing in the perfect completion of this consecrated work— THROUGH SUFFERING — or undergoing the hardship of the influence of death.
And here’s why what he did, and who he is— is so spectacular: because now he who did this (Jehoshua/Jesus), and because he fulfilled this— and those who trust in him, walk with him, yoke to him— the truth, the way, and eternal life in him— and reconnect to our Father again — BOTH — ARE ONE, together— in Christ: one reputation, fulfillment, reconciliation and kinship/sonship— IS TO BOTH CHRIST, and THOSE WHO ARE IN HIM!!!
And in us —he is not ashamed to call us brothers of the spiritual womb!!!
And for this— we put our trust in him— being convinced, with certainty relying on him, agreeing, and being assured with belief of that confidence in him— being content, being persuaded of trust in him— and obeying him.
So, the writer of Hebrews states— For this, I will declare, announce, report and show forth YOUR NAME— your character, your family name and reputation of, in authority— to the womb brothers (spiritually speaking) —to those who are also called out, separated unto you, who meet in a group/body— on earth or in heaven— called the saints; and I will praise your holy name, and sing unto you.
The person writing Hebrews (thought to be Paul, but unknown) states— Look here at both myself and the immature Christian young that our Lord has put into my care. With the same way that we have to come here and endure, go through, and overcome a flesh, and a fleshly nature of sin— our God also came in human form, with human ways, and shared in this with us: this ought to foster a comradery [one who shares with; root definition being— a roommate in chamber].
That through his death process— he would destroy, entirely abolish and bring to nought— the one who had the power, or dominion vigor of death— that is, the devil [the traducer, defamer, who attacked the reputation of God and his children— the false accuser/slanderer himself: satan].
And in this— deliver, change, release and remove this death process of sin and separation, and the power of— from his people; that held his people in a bondage state, a slavery state of FEAR— fright and terror of death— due to the guilt and liability of the sin condition, with penalty and imputation of.
And all this was accomplished in Christ Jesus— taking on the devil/satan and sin transgressions against God— FOR ALL OF US— bringing to us the opportunity to yoke to him, to the truth, to the way to live life with God holy again; abolishing death, separation, slavery to sin, self leadership, fear, guilt and every other wicked working from the fall— ALL THROUGH THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST— upheld now, in the hearts of men!!!
Folks— when we uphold him, exalting him into the high places within us again— and his truth, ways and leadership— to refine us through sufferings and testings, proving our relationship to him and the truth, and returning to the state in which he designed us to walk in— WE HAVE FREEDOM IN CHRIST!!!!
THAT IS THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST— BEING FULFILLED IN US!!!
His righteousness— fulfilled— IN US!!!!
This is the beautiful story of the endless love of a Creator, to his creation; and the reconciling with this Creator, of his creation: whereby the Creator went to the ends of the earth (literally, going all the way through the carnal nature, to the utmost) —to redeem back his creation; and the creation— requiting that love back to him, in return— through their submission, obedience, reverence and purity (sanctification).
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY— EVER!!!
Sacrificial— and requited— LOVE.
Because he is a MERCIFUL, an actively compassionate God, Father, and Creator— who is FAITHFUL, trustworthy and true to his word, and a high priest— who intercedes in all things pertaining to God and godliness; as he makes reconciliation, or pacifies and atones for the need to redeem his creation— for the offenses against him, his way, his truth, and life.
I mean— DO WE GET THAT???
WE— left him, transgressed and offended him, separated ourselves from him, killed ourselves (essentially) in the death process over us, from rebelling him, coming out from his authority, counsel and leadership over us— completely dooping things up, dangerously, at that; and here he comes, never leaving our side in all that— and comes up with a way to generously give himself entirely to the people who stepped out on him (in our ignorance), left him, came against him and his righteousness— JUST TO SAVE THEM FROM THEMSELVES!!!!
WHAT?!
He’s incredible, folks!!!!
And then he states— ‘So, now that I’ve done all this, myself— and you are in me now, and I in you— NOW YOU TOO— can be relieved and aided in all you are tempted with, or otherwise— tested in, scrutinized under, and are enticed to be disciplined to God the Father, and proved in your integrity— TOO!!’
That’s the ULTIMATE COMPANION, COMRADE, and ADVOCATE OF MANKIND: the godhead— bodily— in Jehoshua/Jesus, the Christ: the lover of souls!!!

Romans 8:14
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
1 Chronicles 28:6-7
“(the Lord said) Unto me, Solomon— your son (reference to a son of man) —has built my house and my courts (think spiritually/symbolically, our own temple/vessel/souls): I have CHOSEN HIM to be my ‘son’ (hence, son of God) —and I will be his Father.
Moreover— I will establish his kingdom [his dominion and royal reign of] forever— IF— he will be constant to do my commandments and my judgments— as he does this day.”
______
The sons of God are led of his Spirit, they have built a suitable and acceptable temple or housing for God holy and righteous (soul and body), and in this— they are the chosen ones— who he calls— SONS OF GOD, of whom he is their Father figure over them.
And in the original line of Adam, the origins— we see that as Enoch (who came from the acceptable lineage line of those who follow after God— Seth’s line) —who begat Methuselah, who begat Lamech, who begat Noah… that Noah was a shadow and type of person of Christ to come: in that— one would come, ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHERS— who would save the family of God, not the whole of the worldly people— but a remnant of those who would follow after righteousness and the God thereof.
The sons of God are powerful people, for their Father is the MOST powerful of all: and they follow after him, and revere him— and in them— he moves and finds his being; and out of them— he works his works: these are different than common sons of man— they are REFORMED offspring of Adam— who take after the second Adam or man— Jehoshua/Jesus the Christ— the Son of GOD.
I am not here to tell you that otherly beings, of a spiritual nature —do not exist with God— for they DO: seraphim and cherubim, as just two of those creatures of holiness and design.
BUT— I am here to challenge us to understand that ‘angel’ simply means spiritual messenger— and that humans can be involved in that as well— as we are spirit beings who come with good tidings, workings, and fulfilling God’s good will, too.
But sons of God— are a breed all of their own; they are made in the likeness and image of God, and they have BEEN remade back into the likeness and image of God— after losing that shape: sons of man, have not.
And just as I have spoken to you the biblical definition of angels— let us see the biblical definition of ‘host’ of heaven: for I do believe we will see how human spiritual beings— are a part of this too (in addition to whomever else God created, in different likeness— who are created spiritual beings).
{He assures me— he has NEVER stopped creating; so, imagine all the creatures we are not even aware of that are considered— ‘angels’ who bring good tidings from God. 😉}

“And suddenly there was with the angel [dispatched deputy messenger— prophet, priest, teacher, ambassador, angel, king, messenger] a multitude of the heavenly [celestial] host [encampment like an army of angels (which are sent messengers, prophets, teachers, ambassadors, kings) —celestial luminaries— a light giving body] praising God, and saying— Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
______
A mass of persons, organized for warfare (an army), and by implication— a campaign (and one specifically of worship) —who are appointed, who battle— as a company, host or body of service oriented soldiers— who wait upon God— in warfare.
Is that not also us (in addition to any other creatures God has designed and designated to this duty)? Are we not called to war against darkness, lies, sin, death and the spirit of error— the unclean spirits, in this realm— as in heaven, so in earth?
I do believe we need to come into the truth— and allow ourselves enough understanding of our true identities with, and in God: we are spirit beings, like all other spirit beings— but we have bodies in the clay world too: and we will be the ones who are in dominion over the claymation world— when it’s all said and done, as well: not spirit angel beings only, nay— spirit beings with claymation suits: humans, as sons of God.

And Paul wrote that the glory of God is seen in the face of Jesus Christ, in 2 Corinthians 4:6. And we carry his glory too— but we give all recognition of such glory— to him, and him alone— we are made ‘after’ his image; the copious dignity and honor— is his.
__________________________
Summation
__________________________
Let us start from the end, and work our way backward; the glory— is his— but we are carriers of his copious dignity and honor— if we exalt him, the truth, and the ways of righteousness in us once again.
The host of heaven is— a mass of persons, organized for warfare (an army), and by implication— a campaign (and one specifically of worship) —who are appointed, who battle— as a company, host or body of service oriented soldiers— who wait upon God— in warfare.
Cloud of witnesses are spirit beings who reside in God’s domain— those are many different kinds, who witness all of creation, and the Creator himself: and they have come into this realm— witnessed in scripture.
Giants exist— but what definition are we giving them, and why? They are tyrant bullies, who tower over people (literally in the physical, or figuratively— in power), and cut down others— like fellers of trees. And hybridization is real— but it is not natural, or by godly design— and I speak of the spiritual adultery, the spiritual fornication done to couple with fallen spiritual entities— bringing about a union that produces an ungodly fruit, or result. And these have taken place through millennia in the earth. But so has coupling with God and his holy Spirit— producing spiritual GIANTS, in the name of our Lord (the character and authority of the most High, and only true God).
God saw wickedness and evil in the earth— and it was MAN— God was looking at, not devils; he already was aware that coupling with devils or satan was an option— but we have free will choice to decide whom we will serve; and it was man that God was disappointed in, as he watched the fall of them— into fleshly lusts, and pursuits of— as they coupled with his spiritual adversary, enemy, opposition to him, and opponent of good godliness: affiliations with the enemy of God, righteousness and truth— an unholy yoking, that brought about— unholy living.
There are two different lineage lines (and I speak not after the flesh, but after the spirit) —and depending upon which one walks out in this world— affiliated and yoked to God holy, righteousness and truth— or with satan, unrighteousness, lies and perversion… will determine which child you are: a child of man (flesh only), or a child of God (spirit, soul and body— redeemed by the blood, righteousness, truth and the God thereof, upheld within).
But the ‘sons of God,’ walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (sons of God). That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
They who are in the flesh— cannot please God. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God— they are the sons of God. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children [produce/product] of God.
For the earnest expectation of the creature— waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption —into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son— that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
We are the children, the sons (offspring) of God, his nature, his demeanor, his attributes, his character— his integrity of character, his ways, his person: duplicate seedlings that took, in the soil of the soul (heart); but those who do not— are not the sons of God, but sons of the flesh, or man.
Sons— are builders of a family name, they carry it forth— and name is the character and authority of that father, household or leadership: nachash comes to tempt us to ‘go another way,’ and by the lead of ‘another’ counselor, or leadership in us: self gods.
Temptation comes to every man— for every man must choose between God holy, truth and righteousness— to return to their original design and make up; or— to defect, deform, and take upon them the image of falleness, never coming out of that (resembling demons/devils/satan), leading self in ways contrary to our original design, shape and resemblance— that of God holy, righteous and true, and LOVING.
Satan is the temptation to be evilly inclined (taking the wrong fruit, of the wrong tree, or provision) — that is— to walk differently than God holy, righteous, true and loving— and to not worship, nor exalt him within the soul: satan is a title— and a title is…
Title— The name (character) of an artistic work, it gives credit, it describes someone’s position or job (accuser, slanderer, opposer of good or godliness, liar— or, defender of truth, exalter of persons, defender of goodness or godliness, truth bearer, etc), a right or claim to the ownership of property— or to a rank or throne.
These are dictionary definitions of ‘title;’ and the root definition is— Old English titul, reinforced by Old French title, both from Latin titulus ‘inscription, title’.
What seal or inscription is placed upon you— the holy Spirit’s seal or inscription, title and ownership— or satan’s?
And angels are just spiritual beings dispatched as a deputy— a messenger; specifically of God— also a prophet, priest, or teacher, an ambassador, king, or messenger: and we, as well as other spiritual beings fit this description; we are dispatched.
And dispatch means to send off someone to a destination, for a purpose, to deal with a task, problem, or opponent— quickly and efficiently; as well it is an official report on the state, or of military affairs— a report from a far away place; and the root definition— ‘expedite’, and ‘hinder’.
Angels come to deliver messages, assistance, and power unto humans— to hinder the workings of an opposing army.
If of satan— they come as a thorn in our flesh, if of God— they come to hinder satan and his affairs, or to save, assist and revive: but all angels, fallen or holy— are on a mission, representing their kingdom, and kingdom affairs— recompensing to each man accordingly: all must be tempted too, with evil— to decide if it is for you, or if you are for— holiness, truth and the God thereof.
Because we decided we wanted it thus: we said yes to the tree of good or evil knowledge (that’s understanding and ways of that knowledge, lived out) —and so, we must have choices to choose either evil or godliness, either satan or God— to serve.
But an angel is just a spiritual representative— of said spiritual kingdom— unto mankind in earth suits, in the earth realm: and even the cloud of witnesses, and humans fit that definition— as well as the Lord himself.
Nachash— or the serpent seducer— steps to the beat of his own drum (he was to be played by the hand of God, but chose his own way) —and anyone following him, exalting him and his ways inside— will be cast away from the presence of God, as well: he is the tempter.
We fell away from God with his tempting, enchantments in the garden soil of the souls of men— in the original fall; and it will be because we ‘turn around,’ which is repentance— and we cast away, instead— HIM— and his ways, counsels, lies, perversions, and self leadership (idolatry) —that will return us full circle back to reconciliation with the God of righteousness, truth, love and holiness.
We must be TEMPTED, or ENCHANTED by our Lord God, Creator and Maker now— enraptured in truth, holiness, love and righteousness, again; and in so— we will throw down self, fear, doubt, evil, perverseness, opposition to truth and goodness/godliness and all other satanic ways: and we will once again— return to being— sons of God, not sons of flesh.
And this— is the message he desires for us to gain from this long work, sent from the King. For what is coming in— is the Kingdom of God— in, and unto— the sons of God: for this world has need of a Savior, still— and they will be ambassadors of him, who bring him to a lost and dying world, and the people of.
The sons of God— battle darkness, and overcome it, by the blood of the Lamb, and their testimony (in matrimony) —as one: and the sons of man (flesh) —need to meet him, and see his Kingdom come.
These— are the children of God, the sons and daughters of God— the manifest ones, manifesting his very Spirit in and through them: these are the lights in the darkness— and these— have overcome the Nachash (the tempter), and exalt the Holy Spirit of God: and he dwells in them.
