After the Flood

If the Flood ends the primordial crisis, it does not follow that all supernatural involvement in human history ends with it. Daniel's princes and Paul's powers make that conclusion difficult to sustain within the biblical account.

The distinction between generation and government helps. Heavenly beings can be associated with later national conflict without the text claiming that they continue to father extraordinary children. Evidence for one kind of activity does not establish the other.

This gives the proposed history room to recognize spiritual agency after the Flood while keeping the heroic-birth question unresolved. We do not have to invent another descent merely to explain why nations remain entangled with powers.

Greek traditions may contain both kinds of claim, together with other layers of poetry and worship. The next task is to examine those claims separately. Continuing supernatural activity is compatible with the biblical material; a later divine-human genealogy still needs its own account.
