"The corruption of mankind reached its highest point when even the difference between the Sethites and the Cainites became obliterated by intermarriages between the two parties, and that from sensual motives....This means more than the total corruption of our nature, as we should now describe it, and refers to the universal prevalence of open, daring sin, and rebellion against God, brought about when the separation between the Sethites and the Cainites ceased. With the exception of Noah there was none in that generation "to call upon the name of Jehovah." "In those days there were 'giants' (in Hebrew: Nephilim) in the earth . . . . the same were the mighty men (or heroes) which were of old, the men of renown."... With the virtual extinction of the Sethite faith and worship no further hope remained, and that generation required to be wholly swept away in judgment." Commentary, Old Testament Bible History Volume 1 (A Edersheim), CHAPTER 5- The Universal Corruption of Man - Preparation for the Flood. (Genesis 6)
5 For these things are according to the Oath and Covenant of the of the Priesthood which I the Lord God have confirmed upon him with promise, yea for he, even he, saith the Lord, is a Priest forever after the Order of Melchizedec, which is the Order even of the Ancients who lived long in the earth and were mighty men of renown. Section 6, The Revelations of Jesus Christ
9 For this man, saith the Lord, I did make large in stature like unto them of old, who were mighty men in the earth, and strong of sinew and bone and whose constitution, saith the Lord, was mighty that they did live unto the age of a tree in the life thereof...Ibid.
