60 “".. angels are called ‘sons of God’ in every other place where the expression is used in the Old Testament. Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7. Ps.29:1; 89:6. Dan.3:25 (no art.). We have no authority or right to take the expression in Gen.6:2,4 in any other sense. Moroever, in Gen.6:2 the Sept. renders it ‘angels.’ “Angels are called ‘spirits’ (Ps.104; Heb.1:7, 14), for spirits are created by God. That there was a fall of angels is certain from Jude 6. The nature of their fall is clearly stated in the same verse. They left their own [habitation]. This word occurs only in II Cor.5:2 and Jude 6, where it is used of the spiritual (or resurrec- tion) body. The nature of their sin is stated to be ‘in like manner’ to that of the subsequent sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, Jude 7. The time of their fall is given as having taken place ‘in the days of Noah’ (I Pet.3:20; II Pet.2:7), though there may have been a prior fall which caused the end of ‘the world that then was’ (Gen. 1:1-2; II Pet.3:6). For this sin they are ‘reserved unto judgment,’ II Pet.2:4, and are ‘in prison,’ I Pet.3:19. “Their progeny, called Nephilim (translated ‘giants’), were monsters of iniquity; and, being superhuman in size and character, had to be destroyed. . . . This irrup- tion of fallen angels was Satan’s first attempt to prevent the coming of the Seed of the woman foretold in Gen.3:15. If this could be accomplished, God’s Word would have failed, and his own doom would be averted” (Appendix 23). Thus modern reports by “contactees” and “abductees” of UFO beings having sex with them, raping them, and molesting them, in sexual experimentation, is but a new version of Satan’s old attempt to thwart God’s plan and purpose with mankind. It all happened long before, in ages past! Where do "evil spirits" or "demons" come from? Some think they are merely fallen angels, now deprived of their angelic bodies. Others claim they don't exist. But the apostle Peter tells us that the angels that sinned are now "cast down to hell [Greek, tartaroo, meaning a deep abyss]," where they are "delivered into chains of darkness, reserved unto judgment" (II Pet.2:4). If the angels which sinned are presently bound in chains, then what are demonic spirits which roam the earth? Evil spirits are not the same thing as "fallen angels," as many have long believed. Rather, since fallen angels are now BOUND IN CHAINS of darkness until the day of their judgment, we must look for another explanation consistent with the Scriptures to explain the existence of demon spirits which have no corporeal body. Where, then, do "evil spirits" come from -- those spirits called "demons" in the Scriptures? "But now the giants who are born from the (union of) the spirits and the flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, because their dwelling shall be upon the earth and inside the earth. Evil spirits have come out of their bodies. Because from the day that they were created from the holy ones they became the Watchers: their first origin is the spiritual foundation. They will become evil upon the earth and shall be called EVIL SPIRITS. The dwelling of the spiritual beings of heaven is heaven; but the dwelling of the spirits of the earth, which are born upon the earth, The Origin of "Demons" Says the book of Enoch, in explanation of the origin of these evil "spirits" --
