In Genesis chapter 6 we have somewhat of an enigma, denied or explained away by much of the church in these last days. But the book of Enoch, known and read by Y'shua and his disciples, quoted and referred to (according to J. Lumpkin, hundreds of times) in the pages of scripture, details the actions of the fallen watchers to do this deed. In Gen. 6 we read:
Then the sons of God saw the daughters of humankind, that they were beautiful. And they took for themselves wives from all that they chose. And Yahweh said, “My Spirit shall not abide with humankind forever in that he is also flesh. And his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were upon the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went into the daughters of humankind, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty warriors that were from ancient times, men of renown.
In the book of Enoch we read more detail as to what really happened:
Chapter 6
1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.
2 And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men
3 and beget us children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not
4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations
5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves
6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn
7 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal,8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.

And so we see the 200 watchers descended on Mt. Sermon. At the base of this mountain is where Yeshua asked his disciples (talmidim) "Who do men say that I am?" against a backdrop of pagan temples. Today Mt. Hermon has a U.N. building sitting atop it! http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/ethiopian/enoch/1watchers/watchers.htm
"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
