“…Properly translated, this is how the Bible describes the circumstances that preceded and led to the Deluge: “The opening verses of the Deluge tale in the Bible, echoing ancient sins and calamitous purgatory, have been a preacher’s delight: That was a time that set an example, the time when “there were giants upon 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…” Divine encounters for the purpose of sexual intercourse. “And if one wonders, What has all that got to do with the excuse for the Deluge as a punishment of Mankind, the answer can be given in one word: SEX … Not human sex, but Divine Sex. “…pointing the accusing finger at humanity, only increases the puzzle of the chapter’s first four verses, whose subject is not at all humanity but the deities themselves, and whose focus is the intermarriage between “the sons of God” and “the daughters of the Adam.” “The biblical tale of the Deluge, the great Flood, begins in chapter 6 of Genesis with eight enigmatic verses… The fifth verse is supposed to offer both explanation and justification: “And Yahweh saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the Earth, and that every imagination of his heart’s thoughts was evil.” Therefore (verse six) “Yahweh repented that He had made Man upon the Earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.”
“…hidden behind the tale of the Deluge is an episode of Divine Encounters of a totally new kind – an episode without which the Deluge tale itself would lose its biblical rational.
