There is a difference between the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men” who were the worldlings, the Cain worshippers. This is translated in another version as nephilim. The term “sons of God” is designated for God’s church. In fact, I believe there was a revival in Noah’s day before the flood came. Often the focus of the events of Noah’s day is about the wicked acts, but some things were happening that we have not yet seen. 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.” Genesis 6:1–4. And 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. “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them wives of all which they chose. Those who worship on Sunday are following man, because it was man who changed the day of worship from the Sabbath to Sunday. When we obey God by keeping the Sabbath day we are simply doing what God has asked us to do. The fourth commandment does not say, “Man, you worship Me, but you can just do it on whatever day that you would think convenient.” No, God specified the day He said the seventh day is the Sabbath. It was God who gave the commandments, giving specific instructions and leaving no room to doubt.
Sabbath keepers are often accused of trying to save themselves by keeping the law of God.
Most of the world today worship as did Cain, trying to be saved by their own works. Cain came with an offering of his fruits and vegetables-the works of his own hands. He brought an offering of an animal, as God had instructed, and sacrificed it. Abel “was a righteous man” (Hebrews 11:4) who did exactly what God told him to do. This is one of the reasons that caused the persecution of Abel by Cain. When Cain brought his offering to worship God, he took no heed to God’s instruction, but brought the fruits of his own labor. Taking two wives was not in God’s order, and we read a few verses later that he killed a man because he did him wrong (verse 23).Įllen White wrote in The Signs of the Times, October 6, 1898: “Had man co-operated with God, there would have been no Cain-worshippers.” This is significant to our study on what it was like in the days of Noah.
And Cain knew his wife and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.” The marriage institution, that began in the Garden of Eden, was under attack when Lamech “had two wives” (verse 19). “And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. Genesis 4:16, 17 gives the genealogy of Cain after he killed his brother, Abel. It will be the same just before He returns the second time. The book of Genesis describes the condition of the people that caused God to send a flood to destroy them. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:37–39. “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Jesus gave some interesting insights describing the condition of the world just before He returns. One of these days soon, we will not have to deal with the problems of this world any longer but live in peace and harmony in heaven.
