When Job 38:7 says, [7] When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?, the ‘when’ would be at the point of creation, when God laid out the earth.
“’The ‘morning stars’ are angelic creatures. We know from Revelation
1:20, the stars are angels. The 'sons of God' are angels. Angels are not
procreated; they don’t have marriage. The reason they don’t is they’re all men," explains Richard Jordan.
“The way an angel comes into being is God created them and
He created a fixed number of them at one point in time before the creation of
the earth. So they’re called in Scripture ‘sons of God.’
“Genesis 6 begins, [1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply
on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
[2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
“The angels observed the multiplying of humanity in the
earth and they saw what was happening. They saw that God had given to man a
counterpart and a helpmeet that they didn’t have. God never put an angel asleep
and pulled out of his side a rib and made a she-angel.
“The point is, this is something angels didn’t have. Angels are mightier than men in so many ways--intellectually and in prowess, physical might and power--but there was something man had that they didn’t have and they desired it.
“It says they ‘chose.’ There wasn’t a courting process;
they went out and they chose and they took the women to themselves. Somebody
says, ‘Well, angels can’t do that,’ but that’s just because you don’t know what
angels are like.
“Angels have real bodies and they can live like men live.
If you study out angels, you learn they can cook and eat (in fact, manna is
called ‘angel’s food’), they wear clothing, drive horses, ride chariots. They
can do all kinds of things. They have real bodies that can materialize and
become visible and walk around and do things.
“They’re in a different realm; a different dimension than
you and I are. They’re in a 4th, 5th or 6th dimension,
which ever one it is, but they can pass into OUR dimension.
“There are things in the physical realm in this room that
you can’t see or hear, or feel or touch, that if you just turned on the TV you’d
get a TV program. All of that information is in the room right now; you just
don’t have the receiver that can pick it out.
"Jude: [6] And the angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
[7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about
them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after
strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
fire.
“These angels left their realm, and authority and responsibility,
to come after ‘strange flesh.’ Now, angels have flesh; it’s just different than
the flesh you and I have. An apple has flesh, too. You talk about the meat of
the orange or the potato, don’t you?
“The language is bigger than just talking about a hunk of
animal. They went after flesh of a different kind; they went after human flesh
and they co-mingled with the daughters of men.
"Genesis 6: [3] 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.
[4] 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.
“These are big guys, folks. If you want to see one of them
after the Flood, go to Deuteronomy 3:11: [11] For only Og king of Bashan remained of the
remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in
Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four
cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
“The cubit of a man is the span from the end of your elbow to the end of your finger and is considered to be 18 inches. If you’ve got a bed that’s 9 cubits long, that means that bed is 12 feet long. And it’s 6 feet wide. It took a big dude to need a bed like that! He probably was about 11’ 6’’ in height and five feet broad across the shoulders.
"That’s a giant, and they weren’t just physically large. They were men of enhanced intellects. People have wondered for centuries how the Pyramids were built. These guys wouldn’t have had any problem with it. They say the Great Pyramid has all this astrological information about traveling in space and it points at this star, etc..
“You go to Easter Island and there’s all this celestial
navigation and understanding of where the star placements are, like whoever
built this stuff has been out there! Here’s some guys who have been out there.
They come down here and have some kids who are big DUDES.
“Picking up a couple of those blocks that make the Great
Pyramid and toting them around—if you were 12 feet tall and 5 feet across at the
shoulders, you probably would have some instruments and some levers that could
do some of that.

I Peter 3: [18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
[19] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;[20] Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
“These spirits who were disobedient were destroyed. Psalm 82 says they died like men. And God took them and held them in prison, put them in chains of darkness.
"Angels require light to function and darkness binds
them. He placed them in a compartment in hell where they're held in chains of
darkness until the Great White Throne Judgment.
“The preaching that Jesus Christ did to these spirits that
were disobedient was done back in Genesis 6:3 with Noah. So rather than I Peter
3 being a passage about Christ descending into hell after His death and before
His resurrection, and preaching to the angels there, it’s talking about how the same
spirit that raised up Christ went back there and preached to them back there,
and it’s the same spirit preaching through the ‘little flock’ in the tribulation.
“Christ didn’t personally preach back there, He isn’t
personally going to preach in the tribulation, but by His spirit He does that
and the issue in I Peter 3 is 'the longsuffering of God waiting in the days of
Noah while the Ark was a preparing.'
"People ask where did demons come from. Demons are
disembodied spirits. How did the
spirits lose their bodies and where are their bodies at? In the judgment of
the Flood, the 'great deep' was opened up, which also called the sea.
"Genesis 7:11: [11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
"Revelation 21 is talking about that sea because Deuteronomy 5 says there are bodies in that water down beneath the earth, at the bottom of the universe.
"What happened is some of these angels were taken
and placed in chains of darkness in hell and some of them were disembodied.
"Some of them were disembodied and thus are loose in the
earth today seeking a body. An angel cannot embody himself in a person, but a
spirit without the body, that’s who ‘possesses.’
"People ask, ‘Well, why would God let it go on like that?’ For the same reason that when Satan fell, God let it go on then.
"God, before He created anything, had a plan. Before God created the heaven, the earth, the angels or anything else, God planned to form the church the Body of Christ, and through the Body of Christ to demonstrate the exceeding riches of His grace.
"So when Satan fell (Lucifer originally became Satan), God allowed the angelic conflict to continue even until today, and into the future, in order that He can demonstrtate to Satan, and to all the host of rebellious as well as obedient creatures in the universe, the exceeding riches of His grace.
"Not just the power of His judgment, but the
riches of His grace and the exceeding wisdom ('the manifold wisdom of God'), in
that all He had to do to thwart the plans of the Adversary was keep a secret.
"All it took was just not to tell Satan something and he couldn’t figure it out. Here’s the one boasting and going around saying, ‘There’s no secret they can keep from me,’ and he won a following with that boast, but God just kept a secret, and in God’s weakest moment (the crucifixion at the Cross), He bested the power of His Adversary."
