Dear Mr. Editor :
Referring once more to the " Sons of God" in Gen. 6, I for one can say that one Scripture passage settles this question conclusively; and thinking it might do so for others also, I ask a little space in your pages.
This passage is Matt. 22 :30:"For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."
There may be essential differences between the resurrected and the angels in other respects, but in this respect they are alike that they neither marry nor are given in marriage.
This passage then teaches that both the resurrected and the angels with whom we have to do now are not designed to multiply themselves ; consequently God did not make them in the way that answers to this purpose; they are not created so as to be capable of this.
This seals the matter to me; and in seeking light on the 7th verse of the epistle of Jude it is made sure at the outset that to angels the first part of the passage does not, and cannot, refer ; nor does the context demand such an application ; for does not the 7th verse refer to the 5th as well as to the 6th?
When God destroyed unbelieving Israel in the wilderness one great event stands out above all others, namely, When in the case of the Moabites the people gave themselves over to fornication, thus going after other flesh (not strange flesh), and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them sinned in like manner, for which they are suffering the vengeance of eternal fire, whereunto the devil and those fallen angels, for whom this fire is prepared, are reserved. J. K.
