From Nephilim to Neuralink: Demons, A.I., and the Fall of Mankind - 2 Peter 2:4

What do Genesis 6, the Nephilim, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and Neuralink have in common? In this sermon from 2 Peter 2:4, we explore one of the most mysterious passages in the Bible—the angels who sinned and were imprisoned by God. The New Testament connects this event to the time before the Flood, when the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" produced the Nephilim (Genesis 6). But this message doesn't just explain ancient history. It asks a pressing modern question: Are we repeating the same kind of corruption of humanity today? With rapid advances in AI, brain-computer interfaces, designer genetics, and human-animal hybrids, the boundaries of what it means to be human are being challenged like never before. Even tech leaders have warned about the dangers—one famously describing artificial intelligence as "summoning the demon." *** My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.
