AC.580, 창6:4, '당시에 땅에는 네피림이 있었고' (AC.580-583)

4절, 당시에 땅에는 네피림이 있었고 그 후에도 하나님의 아들들이 사람의 딸들에게로 들어와 자식을 낳았으니 그들은 용사라 고대에 명성이 있는 사람들이었더라 There were Nephilim in the earth in those days; and most especially after the sons of God went in unto the daughters of man, and they bare to them; the same became mighty men, who were of old, men of renown.

 

580

By “Nephilim” are signified those who through a persuasion of their own loftiness and preeminence made light of all things holy and true; “and especially after the sons of God went in unto the daughters of man, and they bare to them” signifies that this occurred when they immersed the doctrinals of faith in their yearnings, and formed persuasions of what is false; they are called “mighty men” from their love of self; “of old, men of renown” signifies that there had been such before.
