This section of the Bible is a part that has endless debate it leaves many people envisioning what the world then looked like!Looking at Genesis 5:1 "This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God." In Genesis 5:3 Adam gets a son in "his own likeness, after his image" - the image of a sinner. The likeness of this Adam is that of a fallen sinner! Unfortunately, sin was a signature in that world, then! Death was its ongoing punishment...This is an incidence of hubris -which refers to extreme pride, especially pride and ambition so great that it offends and lead to one's downfall. These were probably powerful rulers that were controlled/in-dwelt by fallen angels. It may be that fallen angels left their habitation and inhabited bodies of human despots and warriors (the mighty ones of the earth).
Looking at Ezekiel 28:11-19 " Read the passage please" and Daniel 10:13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia."
From these passages, it is known that great kings of the earth have "princes" ruling behind them- their power is demonic.
In closing, I would say that Genesis 6:1-4 is a description of how corrupt the world had become! The sons of God in this passage were not Divine; they were demon-controlled. They married as many women as they wished to satisfy their immoral instincts! Children of these marriages did not bring god-kings. Though these were heroes and "men of renown" - they were flesh and they died in due time, like all men do.
Parting shot, "When God judges the world - as He was about to with the flood - no giant (mighty man), no deity, no human has any power against Him!
