For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2 Peter 2:4-7

The Apostle Peter is dropping some truth bombs here in today’s scriptures, if Peter preached this today, he would be canceled, probably thrown out of most denominations, but Peter is revealing the truth of God’s judgment by the Holy Spirit. And while its not comfortable or popular to talk about the wrath of God, its a reality we must warn people, without Christ you will perish!

Peter first gives us confirmation on the revelation of the Nephilim or the fallen Angels of Genesis 6, “that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” (Genesis 6:2) The Fallen Angels mated with human women on the Earth and created essentially a hybrid race of evil giants. “There were [b]giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.” (Genesis 6:4) Now I understand there are some people who have a hard time accepting this, but it’s in your Bible, as Peter says God punished these fallen angels and has them imprisoned until judgment day

Next the Apostle Peter brings up the judgment of Noah’s flood, I think having an understanding of the Nephilim makes the judgment of Noah’s flood more understandable. People will ask “How could God destroy the whole world except Noah’s family in the Ark”?  As the Bible says “Then [c]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [e]continually.” (Genesis 6:5) The wickedness of the world was so great, not just because of humans but also because there was a living demonic presence on the Earth. 

Let’s be honest, God really had no choice but to start the human race over, the seed of the Nephilim corrupted the human bloodline. Again I know this is to much for most people to comprehend, but then you understand we are not just fighting against flesh and blood, we are battling against demonic forces (Ephesians 6) We also need to remember that God was always going to bring the Christ into the world to save us from our sins. In order for God to do this he needs to have a pure bloodline to bring forth the Christ. 

The Apostle Peter then brings up the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, the more things change, the more they stay the same! Wickedness continues on the Earth, even after God already cleansed it, as Peter states here “making them an example for those who shall live ungodly”

We see a history of God’s judgment upon the world, yet God continually has given us chances to repent and turn our hearts to Christ, heed these warnings, the judgement of God is coming and as Peter said “If God didn’t spare the angels, he won’t spare any of us”! Repent and and put your faith in Jesus Christ! Amen!
