Job 26:5 “ Dead things are formed under the waters and the inhabitants thereof”. ‘Inhabitants’ is the Hebrew word ‘shaken’, which means resident or fellow-citizens. The implication here is that the people of earth were destroyed by water that covered the entire earth. Immediately you think of the flood of Noah’s day. A great flood destroyed the citizens of earth. It does not mention that any person has survived. Notice, there is no mention of any animal life being destroyed in the flood. Only the people are mentioned as being killed by the flood. Job 26:6 “ Hell is naked before Him [God] and destruction hath no covering”. ‘Naked’ is the Hebrew word ‘para’ which means exposed. ‘Destruction’ is the Hebrew word ‘dakka’ which means destroyed, crushed, or contrite. Hell is in the open at this time. It was not in the lower parts of the earth. It is totally exposed and in plain view of all of creation. The contrite or destroyed people in Hell had no covering and were exposed for all to see. Can you imagine the fear that would engulf the heavenly host to observe those dwelling in hell, after God’s wrath was poured out upon the inhabitants of earth? The heavenly host could see the souls of all mankind as a warning to all of creation of what can happen when the laws, precepts, and rules of God are broken. It does not pay to transgress the Creator! When the exposed hell was placed into the bowels of the earth is not known. Job 26:7 “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing”. ‘Stretcheth’ is the Hebrew word ‘paras’, which means to expand or spread abroad. ‘North’ is the Hebrew word ‘tsuphon’ which means dark and unknown. ‘Empty’ is the Hebrew word ‘tohuw’ which means without form, wilderness, or nothing. This verse is saying, “God spread abroad the unknown darkness into the nothingness without form and suspended the earth upon nothing whatsoever”. The implication here is that in the beginning, earth was next to heaven or even part of heaven. The people of earth transgressed God in some way that made Him very angry. God flooded the earth killing the inhabitants, placed them in an exposed Hell; expanded the void around heaven; and placed earth in this void far from heaven. This void is what we call space. The earth was cast into utter darkness. This happened after the destruction of the people of earth. Did this happen during Noah’s day? No, if it had happened in Noah’s day then he and his family, could not have survived. This is a different flood than that of Noah’s day! These people are the first species of mankind that inhabited the planet earth!

We of earth today believe that we are the beginning of God’s creation. As time passes, we also believe that everything that man creates is something new. Man is proud of his achievements and all of his advanced technology. Just look at all the things man has done due to his great knowledge and wisdom! Are all these accomplishments new? Eccl. 1:9-10 “The thing that hath been, it is that shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done, and there is no new thing under the sun [10] Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath already been of old time which was before us”. There is absolutely nothing we see or do today that hasn’t been seen or done at some point in the past! All of our modern technology was invented and used at some point in the past. Everything that is considered “new” today has already been in the “old time” that was before us! The sun was established as a great light and a source of heat for earth in Genesis 1. Any thing that has transpired since the sun was established is not new! There is nothing new under the sun! So, since there is nothing new under the sun, things that are considered new today had to be before the sun was established. The sun was established on day four of creation week. Man was not created until day six! There was life on earth before Adam! This life was extremely advanced. We have not as yet reached the point of knowledge of the ancients. They were more advanced than mankind of today.

Genesis 6:2 “ That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and they took them wives of all which they chose”. A lot of churches teach that these ‘sons of God’ are angels that married humans. There are several reasons that this interpretation cannot be true. [1] Angels are not sons of God [2] Jesus said in Matt. 22:30 that Angels do not marry [3] Gen. 6 offers no clue that heavenly beings are intended [4] the flood is portrayed as judgement against the sins of man and not heavenly beings [5] there is no scriptural evidence that angels have sexual capabilities or pro-create. God is an orderly God. There is a specific and precise order in which the Lord created everything. Dogs cannot cross with a cat. Pigs cannot cross with goats etc. etc. Only like kind of His creation on earth can reproduce. Angels, who are spiritual beings, cannot cross with fleshly beings. These ’sons of God’ have to be of like kind. These have to be flesh and blood sons of God. Luke 3:38 states that Adam is a Son of God. Seth, then, is also a son of God and all of his descendents as well. These sons of God of Gen. 6 are the children of Seth, from which Jesus comes from. The bloodline was supposed to remain pure but the sons of God defiled the bloodline by marrying common gentile women. There is much to be said about the blood. Blood cries out, speaks, and even bears witness. Let's start at the beginning in the book of Genesis:

Adam and Eve first had Cain and then Abel. Cain slew Abel, and was driven from the land of Eden. He went east to the land of Nod and took a wife. Cain was in Nod, before Eve conceived and bore Seth. Genesis 4:25 "And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth; For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." Seth was the third child born. He was to replace Abel, who is now dead by his brother's hand. Who, then, are the people of Nod and how did they get there?
