From Genesis to Revelation: The One Story – The Golden Thread that Explains Everything – Part 6

By Andre Eksteen

After the destruction of the first generation of Nephilim, their descendants continued to spread the seed of Satan across the whole earth. The corruption kept multiplying in people, animals, and even plants — until the earth itself began to groan under the weight of evil.

“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”

(Genesis 6:12)

That single verse summarises the condition of the world — everything was contaminated, not only mankind. The creation that was once “very good” (Genesis 1:31) had become a twisted version of God’s order. The seed of Satan’s rebellion had taken root, and the earth was no longer a dwelling place for His Spirit.

The modern church, which prefers to place man at the centre of the story, distorts this verse and preaches that God sent the Flood merely because of human sin. But because it is trapped in the Sethite mindset — that old false doctrine that rejects the supernatural — it can no longer read Scripture literally without fearing that people will regard it as foolish. So it reinterprets the text allegorically and, ironically, ends up presenting God as the villain.

They preach a God who destroys children and unborn babies without those ever having had a choice between sin and obedience. In doing so, they damage God’s character and drive people away from Him instead of toward Him. The truth is simple: God looked upon the earth — and everything was corrupt. And if you understand how that happened (as we have already seen in Genesis 6), there is no need to guess what this verse means — it says exactly what it says.

And then, in the midst of all this corruption, God sees one man. A man who stands out — not because he was without sin, but because something in him was different. He was not perfect; he was human, with weaknesses and sins just like us. But there was something in him that God noticed.

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”

(Genesis 6:8)

Noah descended from Enoch — the first man ever taken by God without seeing death.

“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”

(Genesis 5:24)

It is no coincidence that Noah comes from that line. He carries the inheritance of the pure Adamic bloodline — and the obedience and purity that began with Enoch, the man who walked with God in a world plunged into darkness. The Book of Jubilees (7:38) confirms that Noah was instructed in the ways of righteousness and the knowledge of the Lord — the last remnant of truth in a world that had become corrupt to its core.

“Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”

(Genesis 6:9)

Most people — especially the modern church — read this verse as if it refers only to moral goodness. But in the original Hebrew it means far more. The word used for “perfect” here is tamiym — the same word used in Leviticus for an offering without blemish. It is a word that indicates physical as well as spiritual purity.

In other words: Noah was untainted — his bloodline was still pure, not affected by the seed of the Watchers. God therefore did not choose merely a good man; He chose the last pure generation through which the promise of the Redeemer could be preserved. This was not simply a moral choice, but a biological and spiritual safeguarding of Christ’s future lineage.

What always strikes me is that the same church that acknowledges Christ had to come from Noah’s line still believes that God destroyed the earth “because of sin.” I ask you: how can anyone believe that God had to destroy the earth because of sin in order for the One who would overcome sin to be born? What a foolish doctrine that is.

The world around Noah had descended into chaos. The descendants of the Nephilim continued to multiply and led humanity into bloodshed, idolatry, and sexual corruption. Enoch 9 describes how the earth itself cried out under them: “The earth has been filled with the blood of the innocent.”

God’s patience reached its limit. Creation itself, Romans 8:22 says, “groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” But in Genesis 6 that groaning literally rose from the ground — the earth cried out for cleansing.

And here we learn the heart of the matter: Noah and his family — his own blood relatives — were the only remaining pure Adamic line. We know little about the wives of his sons, but there are ancient traditions — not unquestionable proof, but tradition — suggesting that even their blood may have been partially mixed, something we will examine in more detail later.

But here we must pause at an important fact I highlighted earlier: there were Nephilim before the Flood and after it. The Bible states this explicitly in Genesis 6:4:

“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.”

Many people — even theologians — insist that the Nephilim were completely wiped out in the Flood. But if that were true, this verse would simply say: “There were giants in those days,” and not “and also after that.” The Word itself therefore shows that this genetic line was not destroyed — it also found its way onto the ark.

It is an uncomfortable truth, but we see the evidence of it throughout the Old Testament. After the Flood, the same kinds of beings appear again — giants, rulers, and kings who oppose God’s people, often in regions directly linked to the old pre-flood civilisations. Deny it if you wish, but Scripture does not lie. We will prove this one by one.

For now, think of the twelve spies Moses sent to explore Canaan. They returned with this report (Numbers 13:33):

“And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers.”

The Bible itself therefore says — long after the Flood — that the Nephilim were present again. They were not myths, and they did not die out. The genetic corruption continued, and we will show exactly how and where.

But all of this had its beginning before the Flood, when God decided that the earth could no longer carry His Spirit. For when He looked down, He saw that His breath no longer dwelt in man — that flesh was no longer pure flesh.

“My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh.”

(Genesis 6:3)

God does not say He rejects mankind; He declares that mankind itself has changed — that it is no longer His creation in its original form. The bloodline was hybridised, the image damaged. His Spirit simply could not remain in what no longer bore His image.

Here the true separation begins — and with it the understanding of election. Not based on moral goodness, but on nature: those who still carry God’s breath, and those who carry the spirit of Satan.

From this point onward, two lines exist: the pure Adamic line in which His Spirit still lives, and the corrupted line in which His breath is dead. God is essentially saying: “I withdraw My Spirit where My image has disappeared.”

And there, in the midst of this corruption, He finds one in whom His breath still lives — Noah. Not perfect, but pure. And that was enough for God to continue His plan.

We will not discuss the story of the ark or the destruction of the Flood in this series, because we are following the Golden Thread — the line of God’s plan through the ages. The Flood was not the end of the story, but a new beginning.

In the next part we begin where Noah and his family cultivate and repopulate the earth — and there, between the new beginning and the old blood, the next marker on the golden trail awaits us.
