42 Remember, the apostle John in I John 3:10-14, John tells us that Cain was "of the evil one" -- meaning Satan, the devil! Could it be that Cain actually was the product of an illegitimate union of Satan, appearing in angelic or beautiful human form, who seduced Eve during the incident when he enticed her to eat the forbidden fruit? Could it be that when she ate that fruit, it caused her to become sleepy, or unconscious, or had a "drug-like" effect on her, and that the devil took advantage of the situation and had sexual intercourse with her? At first glance, this may seem like a strange thing to suggest. But in Genesis 6:1-4, we read that in the time before the Flood, "The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose" (Gen.6:2). As we have already shown in this book, these "sons of God" were angelic beings, who had rebelled against God and His laws!

And again: "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 2:1). It should be very obvious that the term "sons of God" refers to angels and not to human beings. As a result of these illegal and forbidden unions, between fallen angels, who rebelled against God's laws, and their human consorts, "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" (Gen.6:4). that he "knew" or "discovered" something about her. Did Angels Cohabit with Women Before the Flood? We read in the book of Job, "Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and foundations of the earth? Who hath laid the measures and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (Job 38:1-7). Clearly, the expression "sons of God," in the Old Testament refers to ANGELIC The Testimony of the Ancients
