5:25-2S. With an intellectual and an
enlightened eye of understanding we
can see that those spirits could not be
the spirits of human beings for this
subject does not apply to man. God
made man a living soul. Gen. 81.
God made the angels, spirits.
104:4; Heb. IL. This subject applies
to angelic, sinners; they also are
called the IONS of God. Job 1877. By
searching the scripture we learn that
those spirits which Christ preached to
were the angelic sinners. There are
angelic sinners and human sinners.
When man sinned he was condemned
and sentenced to death. Gen. 1913.
For we know that the wage of sin is
death. Rom. 1928. But when the an
gels sinned they were condemned and
sentenced to chains of darkness. Jude
1:6. This was the prison mentioned

God sentence them to prison? What
crime did they commit" We answer
by Divine authority. They committed
fornication. Jude 1867. The angels
who kept not their first estate but left
their own habitation, he hath reserved
in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day
The Millenial in which Christ will
reign a thousand years. These An
gelic sinners will be there for their
trial, for we know that the Saints
shall judge angels. | Cor. 6:3; Rev.
20:6; Acts 1871. Man was under the
administration of the angels from the
time he sinned in the Garden of Eden
to the flood. Gen. 1924. Peter fur

Noah. l Pet. 1920. We still find
where they are called the Sons of God.
The Sons of God saw the daughters of
men and they were fair and they took
unto them wives, all of which they
chose. Gen. 6:2. God was not pleas

a flood and destroyed them off the face

Sons of God and the daughters of men
were great men of renown They were
part angelic and part human beings
They were born in a lustful condi

death but to prison. The next ques,

darkness which are the restrictions
symbolized by chains. Jude 1:6. 81
Christ went and preached to then
when he went to and fro through the
earth while He was alive and no
when He was dead, for when our Lore

spirits frequented the earth; alst
