Episode notes
Sons of God Interpretation
- The phrase "sons of God" consistently refers to cosmic beings in the Old Testament, except in Genesis 6.
- A strong rationale is needed to justify a different interpretation in Genesis 6, but it lacks lexical or contextual connections.
Unclean Spirits
- The term "unclean spirits" originates from Second Temple literature, specifically referencing the Nephilim's disembodied spirits.
- This clarifies Jesus' exorcisms and the demons' panicked reactions to his presence.
Importance of First Enoch
- First Enoch, especially the Book of the Watchers, offers crucial context for Genesis 6 and the anti-diluvian world.
- The parables within First Enoch contain precise prophecies about Jesus, even though written before Christ.
