How long did it take god to figure out that his sons were fathering children with the daughters of men?

Question

I mean, from Genesis 6, the Nephilim lived for a long time before the angels who bore them (fallen angles) were punished by god.

My question is, how long was it before god found out this was happening, or had he known the whole time?

P/S: I am assuming you have read Genesis 6

Answer 1

good question. i assume he knew the entire time.

as u have read, bible says that the nephilim are men of renown, heroes of old. however the bible also says that god sees them as an evil, and a major reason he sent the flood.

now u have to know also, that this occured afterwards as well. david and goliath, goliath (a giant) was considered a nephilim, or the philistines were considered nephilim. *shrug*


now u have to ask yourself. knowing that a nephilim is evil in the eyes of god, and pharisees were extreme, they would take it upon themselves to rid the world of nephilim on gods behalf. so if mary was impregnated by the angel and not god, then she has all the reason she needs to lie about it, to protect her son. furthermore jesus was a man of renown and a "heroe". *shrug* however never says anything about his size.but u never know i guess

Answer 2

Since Genesis doesnt explain it we can only assume. Now, when it says it was happening, there came an immediate judgment, but that took 120 years to pass, the time between wehn God commanded the Ark built, until the time the flood occured, so we know God tolerated it at least those years, and gave people a chance to repent, and follow him.

So, and this is just an assumption, knwoing God knows everything, from the Bible, I would assume that when it began to happen, not just once, but repeatedly, he doled out the punishment, and sat on it for 120 years, giving them the chance. Personally, I would assume it would not have taken him long to decide it was wrong.

Answer 3

Actually he could have known from the start that Satan was plotting it and when the desires of the fallen angels grew...but he didnt stop them thinking perhaps they might realize it is wrong (free choice of angels). Only after they did have intercouse with women did God reacted immediately.

Genesis 6:1Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the [true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose. 3 After that Jehovah said: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh.

Answer 4

the Nephilim were sons of the Gods(plural )not one God ,and these Gods were the Anunaki(meaning those who descended from the heavens),and the breeding that occured was the Anunakis plan to install A RULING ELITE .
the Illuminati (who try to maintain control through organized religion,to this day )

we are descendants of the slave race that the Anunaki created(to mine gold for them),by genetic engineering and cloning(the reptilian brain in our heads is their souvenir)

Angels were illuminati,the wings were symbolic to depict that they went up and down the sky

everything was and is planned ,but not by God ,by the Anunaki

Answer 5

Not long, becuase Adam started doing it with Eve. Sons of God does not mean Angels or Fallen Angels. Your question assumes too much.

Answer 6

He didnt "find out", he knows everything that is going to happen. He planned out your life and my life and the things that happened in bible times before the bible was even written. There was no time between when this happened and when he found out because he knew it all along. Get the facts straight and read the bible more often....you wont find the answer to this question by just reading the first book in the bible.

Answer 7

God knew it before it even happened. Read the book of Jeremiah.
