The Nephilim were on the earth in those days — and also afterward — when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. — Genesis 6:4
Okay, okay, what is this verse talking about? Who are the sons of God? Who are the daughters of men? Who are the Nephilim?
I don’t know. And I don’t think you know either. Were the sons of God angels? demons? men? We can argue about it all day long, but, when the dust settles, we just don’t know for sure.
Why does God do this? Why does He put obscure verses in the Bible that we probably won’t figure out on this side of glory?
I get the picture of a child sitting at a dinner table listening to adult conversation. What are these adults talking about? It doesn’t make sense!
There is a certain comfort in this. As God’s children, we discover He knows all about many things that we don’t yet understand. And here is a gentle reminder that we don’t need to understand everything. We can release those things we don’t understand to God. God knows, and, when we’re ready, He will explain everything we need to know.
Be encouraged!
