IS JESUS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD? - PART 4

Fallen Angels And The Evil Nephilim, Before The Throne Of
God, Jesus The Creator Of All Things, The Other Sons Of God,
The God Of Gods And The Mighty Congregation, The Millennial
Intercessory Priesthood, Mockers Of The Endtime, Persevere!



Despite the objections made by some rigid religionists, the
Bible contains additional evidence to support the claim
that, while Jesus Christ is truly unique, the Beloved of the
Father, the Creator of all that is, and the Eternal High
Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, He is by no means the
only son of God who currently resides in the Heavenly Realm.
There have been, and still are, other Celestial Beings, both
good and evil, which inhabit that world which is just beyond
our human perception. To begin with, consider the following
two verses taken from the Book of Genesis:

"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose . . .
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men
which were of old, men of renown."
(Genesis 6:2, 4, KJV)

While certain narrowminded Christians refuse to accept it,
as I point out in such articles as "Nephilim: The Giants Of
Genesis" and "The Book Of Enoch: Truth Or Heresy?", I
believe that the above verses are referring to rebellious
spiritual beings, or sons of God, which some have referred
to as "The Watchers". It appears that these evil creatures
came down to Earth in order to have sexual intercourse with
human women. It was through these illicit sexual acts, which
were in direct rebellion to God's will, that they produced
giant super-powerful offspring which have come to be known
as the "Nephilim". This Hebrew word is derived from the root
word "naphal" which means to fall, to fall down, or to cast
down; thus, these giants are sometimes referred to as "the
fallen ones" since they were the evil spawn of the fallen
angels. The possible motivations for this angelic rebellion
are discussed in more detail in the aforementioned articles.

While this may be difficult for some Christians to accept,
it doesn't seem to me that there is any other logical way
that these evil spiritual beings could have had sexual
intercourse with human women, unless they materialized in
some kind of physical body. Regardless of their method of
impregnation, it was because of the great evil which these
half-human half-angelic creatures introduced into the world,
that the Lord was forced to send the Flood in Noah's day:

"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD
that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his
heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it
repenteth me that I have made them."
(Genesis 6:5-7, KJV)

Having now looked at the darker side of God's spiritual
creation, let us consider the following verses found in the
Book of Job, which also prove without a shadow of a doubt,
that there exists many benevolent sons of God as well:

"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them
. . . Again there was a day when the sons of God came to
present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also
among them to present himself before the LORD."
(Job 1:6, 2:1, KJV)

As can be seen, it appears that the only evil one amongst
this group of sons of God is Satan himself. The fact that he
is mentioned as being separate and apart from the main group
may be an indication that by the time of this event, he had
already become a rebellious son of God. The previous verses
describe a day in the Heavenly Courts when the sons of God
came to present themselves before the Lord; just as knights
of old would bow themselves before their king in an act of
humble obeisance. This scenario seems to be directly related
to other such accounts of spiritual beings around the Throne
of God found in the Book of Revelation; particularly in
chapter four:

"And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him;
and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and
night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which
was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give
glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne,
who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders
fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him
that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before
the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive
glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all
things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
(Revelation 4:8-11, KJV)

All of these verses present us with some disturbing
questions: Where did these other sons of God come from; and
how long have they been in existence? As to their origin,
from the Scriptural evidence I am aware of, I believe that
these other sons of God were spiritual beings created by
Jesus Christ through the Power and Permission of God the
Father. The following verses seem to bear this out:

"All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made."
(John 1:3, KJV)

"For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been
his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall
be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him,
and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.
Amen."
(Romans 11:34-36, KJV)

"But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all
things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
are all things, and we by him."
(1 Corinthians 8:6, KJV)

"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the
mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid
in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
(Ephesians 3:9, KJV)

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all
things were created by him, and for him: And he is before
all things, and by him all things consist."
(Colossians 1:16-17, KJV)

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in
time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these
last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed
heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
(Hebrews 1:1-2, KJV)

Notice that the above verses are referring to both physical
and spiritual creations. To emphasize this point, the term
'all things' is used a total of ten times, leaving us with
absolutely no doubt, that Jesus did in fact create all
things according to the Will of His Father. As to when these
other sons of God were created, the Book of Job indicates
that they were already in existence before the physical
world came into being; and that they even witnessed the
creation of the Earth:

"Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who
hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the
foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the
sons of God shouted for joy?"
(Job 38:5-7, KJV)

In Psalm eighty-two we find some very interesting verses
which may possibly be indicating that these sons of God are
actually viewed as minor gods in the Heavenly Courts below
God the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ:

"[A Psalm of Asaph.] God standeth in the congregation of the
mighty; he judgeth among the gods . . . I have said, Ye are
gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
(Psalms 82:1, 6, KJV)

The above Scriptures are open to a number of different
interpretations, but they definitely seem to be saying that
God the Father truly is the God of gods in a very literal
sense, and that He has many spiritual children, referred to
here as "the congregation of the mighty", who are also
gods in their own right. Consider also the following verses:

"For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a
great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not
persons, nor taketh reward:"
(Deuteronomy 10:17, KJV)

"The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and
Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in
transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)"
(Joshua 22:22, KJV)

"O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth
for ever."
(Psalms 136:2, KJV)
