Hypothesis

There exist four classes of beings called sons of God:

1. Condemned spirits that rule over nations.
2. Repentant Israelites who had rebelled against Yahweh.
3. God incarnate as the human being Jesus Christ.
4. All human beings that put their faith in Jesus Christ.


1. The condemned spirits that rule over nations

After the Great Flood, created beings called “sons of the gods” (bnei ha-elohîm) illicitly mingled with human women. Genesis 6:4

The True God has passed judgement on these “sons of the gods,” because of their wicked rule over human nations. Psalms 82:1, 6-7


2. The Israelites who have rebelled against Yahweh

The LORD calls the Israelites his children who have rebelled against Him. Isaiah 1:2-4

However, one day they will be restored and again called sons of God. Hosea 1:10


3.God incarnate as the human being Jesus Christ

When Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin, the angel Gabriel said to her: 

“He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High… The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.” Luke 1:32-35

The apostle John explained the incarnation in this way:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1, 14

It is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who gives eternal life to human beings. John 3:16


4. All human beings that put their faith in Jesus Christ

Jesus conferred the title Sons of God on those who obey him. Matthew 5:9

The Bible confers this title on those who have faith in Jesus. Galatians 3:26-29

Thus, human beings may attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Luke 20:35-36

Conclusion

The mysterious sons of God were spirit beings who disobeyed God and have been condemned to hell. Those spirits have been replaced by human beings who put their faith in the Son of God. These human sons of God will rule over nations in the coming Kingdom of God.
