While the sons of God are not space invaders, the Bible does appear to teach that there is other life in the cosmos. It is clear in Scripture that Jesus made other planets: God “has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds” (Hebrews 1:2). 

Thousands of years ago, an intriguing meeting took place in heaven. “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them” (Job 1:6). In attendance at this meeting are “sons of God,” as well as Satan, who says that he has come from Earth. The sons of God were there to represent their unfallen worlds in God’s universe. Satan was there to represent the earth. 

Originally, Adam had dominion over the Earth, but once he sinned, he forfeited his ruling to the enemy. Even Jesus referred to Satan as “the prince of this world” (John 12:31). In the Gospel of Luke, the genealogy of Jesus is traced all the way back to Adam. Notice what Luke says about this lineage: “the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God” (Luke 3:38, emphasis added). 

The difference between Seth and Adam is the bellybutton. Adam was created directly by the hand of God; Seth was born of Eve. Adam was the “son of God,” created to have dominion over Earth. Thus one definition for sons of God is those beings God Himself created to have dominion over the worlds He made. These beings were not born but were created directly by God. 

With that cleared up, let’s next talk about the second way the term “sons of God” is used.
