人类与堕落的灵混合,并产生伟人
这一个堕落的天使与人类之间不法的婚姻产生了伟人。创世记六章四节所说,“上古英武有名的人,”就是堕落的天使与人类调和的产品(参民十三33)。创世记六章四节和民数记十三章三十三节的“伟人”,希伯来文是“拿非林”(Nephilim),意思是“堕落者。”彭伯在他所著“地球的最早世代”一书中说,这可能是指堕落的天使。但拿非林不是纯粹的天使,乃是堕落的天使和人的女儿混合后的产品。他们是人类-人的血统-与天使的灵调和后的产物。
根据圣经记载,拿非林是“身量高大”的人(民十三32)。你若看到他们,他们会把你吓坏。摩西所打发去窥探迦南地的十二个探子,其中十个正是这样。他们告诉以色列人:“我们不可进入那地,因为在那里我们看到伟人。”他们所看见的那些伟人,应该也是堕落的天使和人的女儿调和而生的后裔。
神差洪水灭绝挪亚那一代的人,因为那一代人的血统已经不单纯了。神不能容忍那种情形。为着祂目的的成就,祂不能允许这种人类存留。
根据圣经的记载,在第三次堕落时,人成了肉体。他们满了情欲。因为人在这种情形之下,所以敞开了门,让堕落的天使进来。在这时,人不但有魔鬼在他邪恶的性情里,并有一些人被堕落的天使所附,用身体形成不法的婚姻,产生一种混合品。这在神眼中是最邪恶的事,是祂无法容忍的。

The Third Fall of Men (4)– Gen. 6:4
Humanity Mingled with Fallen Spirits and Produced Giants
The unlawful marriages between the fallen angels and mankind produced giants. Genesis 6:4 says, “The mighty men who were of old, men of renown,” referring to the offspring of the union between the fallen angels and humans (cf. Num. 13:33). The word “giants” in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 in Hebrew is Nephilim, meaning “fallen ones.” In his book Earth’s Earliest Ages, G. H. Pember suggested that this may refer to fallen angels. However, the Nephilim were not purely angels; they were the product of the fallen angels’ union with the daughters of men. They were the offspring of a mixture — human blood blended with the spirits of fallen angels.
According to the biblical record, the Nephilim were men of great stature (Num. 13:32). If you had seen them, they would have terrified you. Ten of the twelve spies whom Moses sent to scout the land of Canaan said to the Israelites, “We are not able to go up against the people, for we saw giants there.” Those giants they saw were likely descendants of the fallen angels who had mingled with the daughters of men.
God sent the flood to destroy the people of Noah’s generation because their bloodline had become corrupted. God could not tolerate such a condition. For the fulfillment of His purpose, He could not allow that kind of humanity to continue.
According to Scripture, during the third fall, man became fleshly and filled with lust. In that condition, the door was opened for the fallen angels to enter. At that time, man not only had the devil within his evil nature, but some were possessed by fallen angels, using their bodies to form unlawful unions and produce a hybrid race. In God’s eyes, this was the most evil thing — something He could not endure.
