Genesis 8:
20And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour;
and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
I do not see any reference to fallen angels mingling with mankind as the reason.
Genesis 6:
1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4There 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.
May the Lord help you to see the truth in His words.
You remember how the Israelites were not to marry outside the nation of Israel? Is that not a clue as to the nephilium being after the days of the Flood as Goliath, a Philistine, was a giant?
May the Lord help you not see the pattern from before when you have all these lineages, from Adam and Eve, but Seth was of the godly lineage from whence Israel is referencing to belonging of in the Bible as God's people. There were other brothers and sisters besides Cain and Seth. So by point of reference to family history of the sons of God from whence the Israelites came from: there were others of Seth's lineage and offshoots from the family tree that mingled among the daughters of men, as in outside the family tree.
That is why we see
men as being the offsprings, mighty
men as giants or
men of renown. It was not about the mingling of angels with mankind or fallen angels, but the lineage of Seth mingling outside their lineage.
The Bible would not call fallen angels the sons of God.
Jesus said that angels are not marrying nor given in marriage thus reproving the false belief that God would join these women to these angels for them to be called wives to them and bear them children, because if they are not given to marriage, then that means God would not join them as one.
The offsprings are men.. not demon spirits as the false book of Enoch states as offsprings between fallen angels and women.
And if you remember the judgment from Genesis 8:21, by the grace of God, may He set you free by this truth as confirmation of that judgment below.
Genesis 6:
5And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
That was why God flooded the earth: not to thwart some diabolical polluting of the seeds of mankind by the devil and his fallen angels. If the nephilium existed before and after those days of the Flood, then what would be the point of killing all life that breathed air if the real culprits are still running loose?
Therefore as it is written.. God judged the earth because of the wickedness of man being great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually.
Only God can bring forth the children from the womb. The devil can have no part in sharing that glory that is His alone.
Psalm 124:
3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
