Like The 'Days Of Noah'?

A Time of Genetic Corruption Is Here: Just Like The Days Of Noah

 JOE HAWKINS

In Genesis 6, we read of a strange and disturbing time when "the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them" (Genesis 6:4). These children were the Nephilim, mysterious hybrid beings who were "mighty men... men of renown." While scholars debate the exact identity of the "sons of God," my view is that they were fallen angels who transgressed their boundaries, resulting in a corrupted human race.

Jesus offered a chilling comparison in Matthew 24:37: "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." This comparison begs a sobering question: If the world before the flood was marked by genetic corruption and hybrid entities, could we be heading toward a similar scenario today?

With CRISPR-Cas9, synthetic biology, and other advanced genetic engineering technologies at our fingertips, we are now able to manipulate DNA in ways unimaginable just decades ago. While these breakthroughs offer promising medical benefits, they also raise profound moral and theological concerns--especially when viewed through a prophetic lens.

Genesis 6 describes not only extreme violence and wickedness, but also a profound corruption of human flesh:

"Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth... and God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth" (Genesis 6:5, 12).

Consider what we see today:

- Genetically modified embryos are being created and destroyed in laboratories.

- Human-animal chimeras are being developed for organ harvesting.

- Gene-editing technologies are being used to "enhance" human traits--raising the specter of designer babies, super soldiers, and possibly even post-human entities.

These developments raise a critical question: Are we opening a door once sealed by God after the flood? If the Nephilim were a product of angelic-human hybridization in Genesis 6, then our modern scientific pursuits may be ushering in a return of those hybrid beings--not through supernatural union, but through technological sorcery.
