1. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (Genesis 6:2)
2. 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 6:4)
3. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. (Job 1:6)
4. Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. (Job 2:10)
5. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:7)
  Scripture disclosed who the sons of God were. The phrase the sons of God is recorded only five times in the Old Testament. Since the number five is the number of grace, as we examine each mention it is only through the grace of God that we are shown the truth.Â
1. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (Genesis 6:2) In this first mention of the sons of God we also have another group of individuals called the daughters of men.  This is the beginning of the intermingling of two different groups of men designated by their SPIRITUAL differences.  The sons of God were of the line of Seth (sons of God, children of God, who worshipped God and called on His name) and the daughters of men were of the corrupted line of Seth who did not worship God, nor called on His name.
2. 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 6:4) In the second documentation of the sons of God we discover a third group of individuals, giants in the earth, (this was the offspring of the clan of Cain). And this third group of the clan of Cain who had been cast far away from the rest of humanity had built a society based on idolatry and murder under their father Cain, they also began to sexually intermingle with the two lines of Seth until there was only one righteous man left from the line of Seth, Noah.Â
  The next time that the phrase the sons of God is recorded, it is in the oldest biblical book known as the book of Job. It is in Job that we see that after the flood and before Abraham that God had set apart for Himself followers of the line of the Gentiles who God called the sons of God. The third and fourth mention of the sons of God takes place ON THE EARTH, it is NOT a scene in the heavens. How do we know the place? It all takes place on earth because scripture says, Now there was a day (Job 1:6) and Again there was a day (Job 2:10). Time only exists on earth . . . there was a day.
  Satan’s favorite venue is where the righteous gathers. Chapter 3, verse 16 of the book Ecclesiastes profoundly states that iniquity was everywhere: under the sun AND IN THE PLACE of righteousness. And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, [that] wickedness [was] there; and the place of righteousness, [that] iniquity [was] there. Satan’s favorite place is wherever righteousness abounds. Satan’s preferred venue is wherever righteousness reigns . . . .  and the place of righteousness, [that] iniquity [was] there.Â
3. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. (Job 1:6)
4. Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. (Job 2:10)
  The very last documentation of the phrase the sons of God is found in Job 38:7. Through this last mention, the Spirit of God draws us back BEFORE time and also connects to the future to the documentation of sons of God in the New Testament. Job 38:7 is the spiritual bridge that spans from pre-creation to the joy of fulfillment. Â
5. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:7) The morning stars are the created angels (the UNSEEN) AND the sons of God (UNSEEN yet SEEN through the eyes of the foreknowledge of God) are the heirs of salvation.Â
  “This is one of the things that God foreordained BEFORE the creation, and at THAT time in His foreknowledge He saw those who would be joint heirs with Jesus Christ. The four verses in Chapter 38 in the book of Job describes a creation period before time, carefully consider verse 7 where the phrase sons of God is the last documentation of this phrase in the Old Testament. This last use of the words sons of God in Job is seen through the eyes of the foreknowledge of God describing these joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. (Job 38:4) Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? (Job 38:5) Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; (Job 38:6) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Job 38:7) And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (Hebrews 1:10)” (This quote is taken from an article by Michael Haigh called Turning Away, from the study in the book of Hebrews 10:26.)
  Then the next time that we read about the sons of God is in the New Testament. Six times the Spirit of God describes the heirs of salvation. The Old Testament through this phrase discloses the corruption of the line of Seth, the sons of God, and the ruin of mankind. However, the very last mention of the sons of God reveals a new creation of man when through God’s foreknowledge they shouted for joy, the joy of God’s creation of the new man born again THROUGH the Heir of promise, the Heir, the Lord Jesus Christ. The following verses discloses the finality, the conclusion of the joy of the sons of God IN Christ. Â
1. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12)
2. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
3. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19)
4. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; (Philippians 2:15)
5. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. (1st John 3:1)
6. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1st John 3:2)Â
  The conclusion: the sons of God in Genesis Chapter 6 and in Job 1:6 and 2:10 were NEVER angels.Â
