“Genesis 6:4 (KJV): 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.”
In Genesis 6:4, the “giants” are often understood as the Nephilim. Many people believe that these giants lived in the ancient days even before the great flood that made Noah to build an ark. The Bible describes them as the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men,” showing a time when human life became morally corrupt and violent. Some interpret them as very tall or strong humans, while others see them as symbols of wicked and proud people in that generation.
The presence of the giants in Genesis 6:4 shows how far humanity had drifted away from God before the flood. It reflects a period of disobedience, violence, and moral failure, which led God to judge the earth through Noah’s flood. This passage teaches that human strength alone cannot stand against sin, and it reminds us of the importance of living in obedience to God.
