Sons of Thunder

What was the pre-flood world like, particularly to provoke God to such judgment? Who were the 'sons of God' who took 'daughters of man' as their wives? Angels? Evil spirits? Who were the Nephilim? Here, we see the wickedness of the pre-flood world which serves as a paradigm for our own world. Pervasive sin and wickedness provoking God to judgment, yet not a world that is any different than our own day. In this way, Genesis 6 points us to a sole Individual who found favor in the Lord's eyes: the greater Noah, God's only Son Jesus Christ.
