Undoubtedly, the topic which captured me today was that of the giants that lived in the Promised Land. The sons of Anak, the Zamzummims of the Ammonites, Og the king of Bashan in the land of the giants.
From early in Genesis, the Bible mentions how the Sons of God came down to earth and had intercourse with the daughters of men, their offspring being giants which roamed the earth. The Bible mentions that Noah, the selected of God to survive the flood which would destroy the entire earth, was perfect in all his generations.
To me, this has always meant that he had no Nephilim in his bloodline; he was 100% human with absolutely no angel. According to a very interesting website I referred to during some research on this topic, the writer argued that because there were giants after the flood that a Nephilim MUST have survived the flood, possibly even stowing away on the ark.
My counter argument is this: Only Noah is touted to be perfect in all his generations. There is nothing mentioned about Noah’s wife, and therefore his sons, or his sons’ wives. In my mind, any of these other seven people could have carried the seeds/lineage of supernatural beings which surfaced after the flood.
There are a few mentions of giants prior to Deuteronomy, but once the Children of Israel arrive at the Promised Land, out pops the whole story as the many races of giants are mentioned. Based on God’s desire to wipe out a world infested with fallen angels, the women they defiled, and their half-human, half-angel offspring, it is understandable that He would also wish the remainder (living in the Promised Land) to be eradicated as well.
Not only this, but God had already given express instructions on how to eradicate them and every shred of their corrupt and unnatural culture.
In my brief research on this topic, I came across one of the most electrifying pieces of information ever. I am fascinated by the larger-than-life structures erected all around the world, many of which cannot be reconstructed using all of today’s technology and machinery. I speak of the monolithic structures of South America, of the colossal creations of ancient England, of my favorite wonder… the Pyramids at Giza, specifically the Great Pyramid.
Bereft of markings and indications of its creator, seeming to lack a reason for existing, loaded with astronomical and geophysical wonder and positioning, hinting at wonders and intense depth of knowledge of its creators, the Great Pyramid at Giza has baffled mankind from the moment of discovery.
To this day, we cannot figure out how to build such a wonder, much less who built it or why it was created. On the website I discovered, the author posited that the Nephilim were, in fact, the builders of these great structures, possessing the physical size and strength to maneuver those massive blocks into position.
Knowing what I’ve learned about the hidden knowledge within the Great Pyramid and coming from the point of view that it could have been built by these half-human, half-angel beings, is it not possible they may have carried a level of knowledge and information not all humans were privy to?
In some of the books of the Apocrypha and other ancient writings, the Nephilim are referred to as having knowledge which it was never meant for man to have. Because of their fall and subsequent breeding with human women, the knowledge they possessed became shared with mankind… The Book of Enoch tells how knowledge of warfare and all uses of metals was shared, along with the beautifying of the eyelids and costly stones and all coloring tinctures. Also how the people were taught enchantments and root-cutting, astrology, constellations, knowledge of the clouds, signs of the earth, signs of the sun, the course of the moon by the Nephilim.
Man fell in the Garden of Eden by eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Could it not be that some of this knowledge was taught by these fallen angels? Might it not be that the fruit was but the first step in a history of learning that which was never meant for man to learn?
It is sad that the pursuit of knowledge was what separated man from God; that driving curiosity to know more and more…
