This podcast explores how free will, granted to both supernatural beings and humans as part of being made in God's image and sharing His authority, unfortunately led to disastrous consequences. It highlights divine rebellions detailed in the Bible, specifically focusing on the Serpent's deception in Eden and the transgression of the "sons of God" in Genesis 6, whose actions contributed to the spread of wickedness and the appearance of the Nephilim. While these stories illustrate the ongoing spiritual warfare against God's plan for humanity and earth, the source emphasizes that God's foreknowledge does not equate to predestination, and God's plan for redemption will ultimately prevail.
