A solid basic analysis. When I met the Lord in 1974, my mentor in the flesh was my blood father who was an ordained deacon, spirit-filled, and had a deliverance ministry in the Episcopal church. He taught me how to deal with demons. For a spirit-filled believer, it is not a big deal. The power of the Holy Spirit can easily rout the enemy spirits.

For the heathen, they have no real defense. If they can say no, it will work. But the enemy makes sure that it isn't taught. Plus, the weapons of fear and confusion make it very difficult for the heathen to escape a demonic assault.

Britt Gillette had an excellent note today about the probable dates for the transhumanists to begin uploading themselves into computers.

He believes that this is what Jesus was talking when He talked about the end being shortened to before all flesh was lost.

There's a lot of weird yellow journalism about these things. But like you say, the scriptures are clear about much of it.

Mainly, In Jesus, you are protected. If you don't have a clue, you simply call out, "Jesus, save me from the enemy. I don't want to have anything to do with them."

But better is the prayer, "Lord, show me how the baptism of the Holy Spirit will enable the Holy Spirit to work in me in power to protect me and mine from the enemy."

This morning I had a conversation with my wife during our Bible devotions about a recent incident that happened to me. This picture you used in the article is an accurate depiction of what I experienced. It is uncanny how I "stumbled" over this article the same day I was talking about this incident with someone. ... Thank God for Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. ... we have no idea what is happening behind the scenes, BUT Greater Is He That Is In Me, thank you Jesus.

This was an illuminating read. I’ve always held the view that the Covenant line of Seth “lent their strength” to the seed of the serpent (Cain’s line), and grieved the Holy Spirit by their syncretism. But, this post got me thinking……

Very eye-opening & a great read- thank you! Had no idea where demons had actually come from; thought they were angels who fell along with Lucifer.

Demons! This is no different than what the elite and the bollywood, witches and so on have done. People do take, ask demons and satan to come into them, into their bodies. And they do.

This has been going on since the beginning of time.

Even bollywood actors have confessed this such a thing; that they allowed demons to enter them when they had to play roles in movies. Artists allowed and asked demons to enter their music to make them hits. Witches do the same. The demons enter the people. The people have a demon in them as the people do their things.

Interesting, but can angels or fallen angels procreate among themselves or, God forbid, with human beings? How is that possible and how does it jive with what Jesus said about in Heaven the resurrected humans are like the angels there neither marrying nor mating?

Robert Rousseau's avatar

Great question. The key is context. Jesus’ statement about the resurrection says that resurrected humans “neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.” He’s describing the order and nature of resurrected life and the holy angels in heaven (Matt 22:30). That doesn’t automatically rule out a unique act of rebellion described on earth in Genesis 6, if one takes that passage in the “sons of God” sense. In that reading, the point wouldn’t be normal angelic life but a transgression of boundaries—an abnormal, illicit act that provoked judgment.

In other words, Jesus is teaching what life is like in the resurrection; Genesis 6 (if supernatural) is about what happens when rebellious beings violate God’s design. The text doesn’t explain the mechanics, but it does emphasize the seriousness of crossing God’s created order.

So bad angels have the physical ability, what you call "mechanics," to impregnate human women, and this must have happened at least enough times to create the legion of eternally damned souls from their later drowned mutant giant offspring who would one day beg Jesus to let them possess a large herd of swine after Christ had cast them out of one poor demoniac? I'm not saying it didn't happen, because I sure don't know, but it does seem like an odd blip in God's omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence for it to have happened in the first place, doesn't it? I'm not too sold on the sons of Seth theory either, but it does at least seem more "natural," albeit I know that this weird passage is steeped in the seeming "supernatural" and, so, doesn't require a "natural" explanation. Is there a theory that Genesis 6 is allegory? You didn't mention that, and I could probably look it up myself, but since we're talking here, I'm asking you?

Robert Rousseau's avatar

Thanks for the thoughtful pushback. I hear the concern. But I think the core issue in Genesis 6 isn’t “how could this happen?” as much as “what does the text say happened, and why does God treat it as catastrophic?”

If the “sons of God” reading is correct, then we’re dealing with rebellion, not normal angelic life. Scripture already shows God permitting real rebellion—human and angelic—without that implying a lapse in omniscience or power. The Bible doesn’t present evil as an “oops,” but as a permitted, judged violation within God’s sovereign timeline.

On the demon connection: I agree we must be careful not to overstate what’s explicit. But the broader biblical pattern is consistent: boundary-breaking evil escalates corruption, and God responds with judgment. Genesis 6 fits that pattern with unusual clarity.

I’m also not persuaded by the Sons of Seth view because it doesn’t fully account for the language, the framing, or the intensity of the passage within the flood narrative. And while some argue for an allegorical approach, the text is embedded in a historical sequence treated as real and consequential.

So my point isn’t that we can map every “mechanic.” My point is that Genesis 6 reads like a real invasion of order, not a metaphor—and we shouldn’t tame it just because it unnerves us.

Thank you, Brother, for your swift, thoughtful, and well-reasoned response. Genesis 6 IS an unnerving passage. Thank God for all the other faith-building and soul-satisfying passages we have in this unique collection of ancient writings that we call The Holy Bible. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours

Thank you, Bro. Robert for clarifying the difference between the fallen angels and their hybrid offspring. I was always confused about them. I went through deliverance from oppressive spirits and on one occasion the spirit manifested. But I wasn't afraid.

Demons - never understood before - were/are the disembodied spirits of the Nephiliam? Count Pastor Michael Pearl of The Door (on YouTube) for enlightening me on this.

As always, another excellent article, Robert. Spot on. Exactly how they taught it back in the day. Also, Mondo Gonzalez is one of my favorites too.

LOVE Mondo! 😇
