Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Genesis 6:6
the sons of men were beautiful (we are beautiful)
just as a sidenote Sons of God is not talking about angels but the offspiring of the chosen line of Seth (God's faithful people)Its supposed to show how they corrupted themselves by being yoked with the rebellious race of Cain and others.
The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. Psalm 115:16
the glory that was given to us we took selfishly and abused....
The sons of men play, sing, dance, act admiring themselves as they do but sing and dance in vain for what sing for is unworthy. What they look upon is fleeting.
and so we worship ourselves and set out own understanding and wisdom against who He is. What was given to us to understand Him we use against Him.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:5
however He is fairer as we are only reflections of who He is
You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever Psalm 45:2
and we reflect whatever light He has shone on us whether it be nothing so that we are in darkness, a little or a lot.
As the moon reflects the suns glory so we reflect God's glory.
The brighter the sun shines on the moon, the brighter the moon shines
The moon has no light in itself, but the Sun is always shining and does not dim down.
We are like rays of light from God formed into a human body (a vessel/lamp to carry it in) The light is beautiful but will fade away unless its constantly connected to the source!
For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever. 1 Peter 1:25
The ancient forces of darkness that was active in Genesis....is still active and at work today.
It deludes us to worship ourselves and the glory that was given to us (the earth)
