About this listen
What was the flood actually meant to accomplish? And does the theory of a second incursion undermine that purpose? In this episode, the hosts examine how The Nephilim Myth argues for a more coherent interpretation of the flood narrative—one that maintains God’s justice and the integrity of the biblical storyline.
Samuel Delgado's "The Nephilim Myth: Decoding the Flood Narrative" critically examines interpretations of the biblical flood story, particularly those that posit an "angelic view" involving hybrid beings called Nephilim. Delgado argues against the idea that the flood's primary purpose was to eliminate these hybrids, asserting that this perspective distorts the original narrative's emphasis on human wickedness and God's judgment. He challenges the feasibility of an angelic incursion scenario, especially the notion of Nephilim surviving the flood or a second angelic intervention, highlighting how such theories undermine God's omnipotence and the completeness of the flood's judgment. The author advocates for the "Sethite view," which interprets the "sons of God" in Genesis as the lineage of Seth, emphasizing the theme of intermarriage and God's holiness. Buy Book
