Paul condemns the metaphysical interpretation of nephilim hybrids and literal interpretation of the Genesis creation in scathing terms:
rCLFor the INVISIBLE things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.rCY
Modern theologians are are doing exactly what Paul warns will bring men blindness and condemnation. Theologians are taking the INVISIBLE things of the Genesis creation and changing the GLORY (government creation) of God into visible images of men, birds, beasts, and critters. Paul is warning us right here to NOT do this with the scripture! And modern scriptorians keep doing it repeatedly.
Religionists are ignoring Paul again by disputing the endless vain genealogies of the nephilim:
rCLNeither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.rCY
Genealogies about hybrid beings, and priestly lineages, and royal houses, and all that old-time metaphysical mind-rot are contrary to the truth. These false subjects rCyminister questionsrCO which is a way of saying promote time-wasting and pointless debates that take away from godly edifying in the faith.
rCLBut refuse profane and old wivesrCO fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.rCY
rCLNot giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.rCY
Peter talks about the fables surrounding origins of the creation of God:
rCLFor we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. rCa We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.rCY
His majesty is his glory of the new, invisible creation through Christ at the crossrConot in the primordial mist of antiquity.
The light that shines in the dark place is prophesied: rCLAnd God said, let there be light.rCY
Apostle John concurrs:
rCLIn him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.rCY
Genesis 1:3 is about the entrance of Jesus Christ into the world. It is about God ordering the cosmos of human society, not the cosmos of matter and energy. The Torah is not about Greek material metaphysic. The Torah is about the kingdom of God being brought to fruition among mankind. The philosphers of philisophy and kabbalah profess themselves to be wise, but are fools, and render the INVISIBLE things of GodrCOs glory into visible images of supermen and critters.
The most precious thing to God the Father is the man Jesus. He didnrCOt have his prophets wasting ink to write about the material origin of cows and sheep and goats:
rCLFor it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.rCY
Paul says point blank that he and the disciples are the four-footed beasts or oxen. God told Adam he would plow the earth. Adam needed oxen to pull his plow. Christ is symbolized by Adam and the Apostles are the cattle who pull his plow.
The beasts of Genesis represent men, groups of men, and stations of power and authority created by God. These creatures are brought to Adam to rCynamerCO them which means to grant them authority. This is the invisible things of the creation that the corrupt religionists canrCOt see and replace with corruptible things, like hybrid chimera nephilim giant monsters.
Nephilim are men, groups of men, and the institutions engendered by men. The scripture has copious equations between groups and creatures, the creatures being MASCOTS for groups of men. The birds, beasts, fishes, herbs, trees, and critters of the Genesis creation are MASCOTS for nations of men over whom Adam (Christ) is given dominion. Theologians err in interpreting the text literally. They are worshiping the creature more than the creator, as Paul warned.
Jude said the angels kept not their first ESTATE and this word in ancient Hebrew does signify their authority of government rather than a supernatural position above the firmament. The angels (churches) joined with rulers, forming the STATE based upon imperial religion. Then the churches became vessels for teaching submission to oligarchy and imperialism instead of the democratic rule mandated by Christ and the Apostles under the New Covenant.
The heavenly beings are those churches who were in the truth of the kingdom and then rCyfell from heavenrCO or their rCyexalted positionrCO by abandoning the truth to turn their churches into insititutions of authoritarian rule, to support empires. There is nothing supernatural about it. It is spiritual. These Christian rulers are the untimely figs of Revelation that are cast down before they can ripen and bear seed (faith):
rCLAnd the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind rCa.. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:rCY
That which is spiritual is NOT supernatural metaphysic. That is more Judeo-Greco-Roman-Babylonian mythos and fable. The supernatural interpretation of hybrid nephilim giants is unholy hodge-podge. Nephilim are mighty rulers and mighty nations that do many wonders to try to rebel against the law of God and imagine keep their wealth and power intact against GodrCOs wrath and judgment. They are the kings, captains, and rich men who hide among the rocks and mountains (more people groups) because they innately sense they are guilty and worthy of wrath.
The Genesis creation narrative is not a lesson in the origin and nature of physical critters. The Genesis creation narrative is prophecy about the eternal power and godhead of Jehovah established by and through his Son Joshua of Nazareth. We are living in the Genesis ages today. Genesis is a prophetic news blotter about the ages from the cross of Jesus to our modern times. We are living in the days of the Genesis creation. Jehovah is doing all he said he would do.
