These
activities aren’t limited to the writings of Herodotus. Genesis 6:4 states that
angel human sexual intercourse didn’t end with the flood of Noah. In reference
to the Tower of Babel, first mentioned in Genesis 11, and Nimrod specifically
(the king of that region), many Christian archeologists have concluded that
they believe Nimrod (whose name wasn’t translated as a proper name, but rather
a reference to his character, because it means “rebel” in Hebrew), was actually
the same hero mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh. In an article found on www.Christiananswers.net, Bible
archeologist Dr. David P. Livingston explains a great deal about the Epic of Gilgamesh,
which is an ancient, twisted version of the Biblical account of Creation, the
flood of Noah, and some of the events that transpired shortly thereafter.4
While the Epic of Gilgamesh supports polytheism and the acceptance of sexual immorality as a
norm, among other things, it also provides a historical glimpse into the
activities occurring around the Tower of Babel, which stirred God to complete
indignation. To begin with, Gilgamesh (Nimrod) may have been a Nephilim (part
human, part fallen angel, as the Bible first mentions in Genesis 6).
Following is an excerpt from Dr. Livingston’s article on Christiananswers.net:
The Epic of Gilgamesh has some very indecent sections. Alexander Heidel, the first translator of the epic, had the decency to translate the vilest parts into Latin. Spieser, however, gave it to us straight.5 With this kind of literature in the palace, who needs pornography? Gilgamesh was a vile, filthy, man. Yet the myth says of him that he was two-thirds god and one-third man.6
With this in
mind, it should be clear to understand God’s anger against the inhabitants
surrounding the Tower of Babel.
Genesis 11:6
(bold emphasis added)
And the LORD
said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they
begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they
have imagined to do.
Genesis 6:4*
(bold emphasis and bracketed comments added)
There were
giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of
God [fallen angels] 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.
*The phrase,
“those days,” refers to the days of Noah, and “after that,” refers to the days
that followed Noah, which must have followed the flood of Noah as well.
Concerning God’s
faithful angels, God mandates that the angels are to protect humanity (Hebrews 1:14) and learn of God’s grace through their observations of humanity (1 Peter 1:12; Ephesians 3:10). To this extent, they may penetrate human society in disguise as
previously mentioned (Hebrews 13:2).
Hebrews 1:14 (protect humanity)
Are they not
all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of
salvation?
1 Peter 1:12 (learn of God’s grace by observing humanity)
