"And in that location nosotros saw the giants…. and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers." — Numbers 13:33.

Function 1 of the Beginning And End Nephilim Series

In our original commodity on the Nephilim, we detailed the Biblical origin of the one-half-angelic, half-human hybrid giants, known every bit Nephilim, who were the product of illicit relations betwixt evil fallen angels and human being women in the time earlier the Flood and Noah's Ark. The alluvion wiped out the giants but before long later the flood they returned and spread all throughout the Promised Land. Every bit this commodity will testify, non only did the giants return after the alluvion, they were major enemies of God and His called nation, State of israel for centuries. This article volition show that for a fourth dimension Nephilim were all over the aboriginal Middle East wreaking havoc, attacking God's people and creating spiritual practices to lure humanity in worshiping Satan and his angels.

Genesis 6: The Origin of the Nephilim

And it came to laissez passer, when men began to multiply on the confront of the earth, and daughters were built-in unto them,  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall non e'er strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall exist an hundred and twenty years.  In that location were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the aforementioned became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his eye was simply evil continually. — Genesis 6:1-five.

This brief passage tells a very important origin story. A group of the "sons of God", the Biblical name for angels, in rebellion confronting The Lord, came to Earth and took human women as wives to have illicit relations. And their children, half-man, half-angelic hybrids, were the Nephilim giants. The idea of angels sleeping with women and having kids is not something that all Christians hold upon, know about or fifty-fifty comfortable with. Nevertheless, the truth of Christianity is based upon one source: God's Word as revealed in the Holy Bible. And from a report of Scripture it becomes clear that this outcome did indeed happen.

Were the "Sons of God" Angels?

This question is ofttimes raised initially as an objection to the idea that Nephilim giants e'er even existed. the Hebrew words for the "sons of God" is B'nai Ha Elohim, which would means these are Heavenly beings, giving credence to them being offspring of fallen angels (the term Elohim is literally the plural of 'god'). And then nosotros see the children of these sons of God and daughters of men were "mighty men" and of "renown." They were as well "giants." Something in their genetics made them super-sized people. And information technology was their fallen angelic parentage.

But again, we must keep searching the Bible to brand certain of significant. The Bible is self-confirming and one passage of Scripture can always be confirmed past some other. Nosotros see the term "sons of God" side by side used in the book of Job. Job chapter one reads: "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to nowadays themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.   And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in information technology." (Job 1:6-7)

The scene existence described, where God is literally meeting with the sons of Go, took identify in Sky. This is a Divine Council that God holds where He chooses to run into with both good and evil angels to hash out affairs of the world (for more examples of these assemblies see 1 Kings 22 and Psalm 82).

Another Divine Quango is called in Job Affiliate 2. Verse one states: "Again in that location was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came as well amidst them to nowadays himself before the LORD."

So again from the clear reading of the text, the "sons of God" are not human men simply are in fact angels, who are coming together in Heaven with The Lord. And the Hebrew term is b'nai ha Elohim. The tertiary reference to the sons of God in the Old Testament is once again in Job, but this time in chapter 38. God who in this is posing questions to Task about the creation of the universe (to show Chore how picayune understanding and cognition he has compared to The Lord) says:

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thousand hast understanding.  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thousand knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon information technology?  Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? — Job 38:4-seven

So again, non only were the sons of God again with God, they existed fifty-fifty before the Earth itself was created. Every apply of the term b'nai ha elohim in the Onetime Testament is a reference to angelic beings. In the Septuagint, the oldest form of the Quondam Testament today (and the version nigh quoted by Jesus and His disciples in the New Testament) the term 'sons of God' is not even used in these passages in Job, information technology just reads "the angels of God." Thus it can be ended with certainty that the sons of God in Genesis 6 were in fact, angels.

Did Angels Have Sexual Relations With Human Women?

Job, the oldest volume of the Bible, was written past the patriarch Job who lived close to the time of the inundation, thus the references to angels reflect this. There is passage not often cited in scripture that states straight that certain angels were indeed involved in illicit relations with human women. It occurs when Eliphas, one of Chore's friends who is consoling him over the loss of his family in a Satanically empowered hurricane, shares a Divine vision he had:

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a niggling thereof.  In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,  Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.  So a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my mankind stood up:  It stood nevertheless, only I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, at that place was silence, and I heard a vocalisation, saying,  Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man exist more pure than his maker?  Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly : – Job 4:thirteen-18.

The word "folly" in the Sometime Attestation is used to draw sexual sin. Again, we use Scripture to interpret Scripture. Here are several examples:

And Dinah the girl of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to meet the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her… And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, considering he had wrought folly in State of israel in lying with Jacob's girl : which thing ought not to exist done. – Genesis 34:1-2, seven.

Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall rock her with stones that she dice: considering she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house : and then shalt thou put evil away from among you lot. – Deuteronomy 22:21.

And information technology came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a off-white sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.  And Amnon was so vexed, that he cruel sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to exercise anything to her… And when she had brought them unto him to consume, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sis .  And she answered him, Nay, my blood brother, do non force me; for no such thing ought to exist done in Israel: exercise not thou this folly . – 2 Samuel 13:1-2. xi-12.

And then here we see that certain untrustworthy angels were charged with the sin of "folly" for sinful sexual acts. In the Septuagint the verse from Chore says: "he perceives perverseness in his angels" giving even more confirmation that there were sinful sexual acts committed past angels.

The books of two Peter and Jude detail the punishment of the angels who committed these sins:

And the angels which kept non their first estate, only left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting bondage under darkness unto the judgment of the great 24-hour interval.  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities nigh them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after foreign flesh, are set along for an instance, suffering the vengeance of eternal burn down.  Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise rule, and speak evil of dignities. – Jude one:half dozen-8.

Here nosotros run into a reference to angels who left their "habitation" and are reserved in chains until Judgment 24-hour interval. This was the punishment for those angels who left their habitation of he spirit earth to "go later foreign flesh", namely human being women. Also note there is a reference to Sodom and Gomorrah, cities then steeped in sexual abuse that when ii Godly angels cam to visit the home of Lot to conductor he and his family unit out of the city, the men and boys came to Lot'due south home enervating that the angels be brought out so that they could "know them."

Nephilim Giant Offspring

By the measurements in Scripture, the original Nephilim offspring were quite larger than the average human.

The offspring from this illicit spousal relationship between angels and man women were giants who "became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." (Genesis half-dozen) The fact that they were giants, is also proof in and of itself that their parentage was superhuman. But these giants were evil. Having been born of corrupted, Satanic angels they dominated the Earth and filled it with violence. Information technology is also interesting to note that the Bible calls them "men of renown." The Hebrew give-and-take hither, shem, refers to beingness famous and legendary. It is as if the Bible is indicating that when the reader hears of legends of "demigods", titans or legendary heroes who were function god, that this is who those "myths" were referring to. These were 'men' of superhuman power and strength. In addition to causing violence and sin in the world, the Nephilim were also corrupting the human bloodline.

Why Would Satan Do This?

Equally it will be in the stop times, much of the disharmonize centers around homo DNA.

After the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden God pronounced a judgment on Satan:

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast washed this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every animate being of the field; upon thy belly shalt 1000 get, and dust shalt one thousand consume all the days of thy life:  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; information technology shall trample thy head, and g shalt bruise his heel. – Genesis 3:14-15.

This pronouncement was historic. God proclaimed that the ways by which Satan would ultimately punished and destroyed would be through the seed of the woman. (It must be remembered at this point that our enemy, Satan is a far older, and vastly more powerful and evil being, so this prophecy was a serious pronouncement). A human woman would give birth to a boy who would one day destroy the Devil. This was the first prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus Chris. Satan was put on observe. From then on he set out to corrupt or destroy an God-fearing child every bit that could potentially be the prophesied Redeemer. To no surprise the first Godly child born, Abel, was killed past his wicked blood brother Cain. Cain was banished and Adam and Eve bore another son Seth. At his nascence Eve declared: "For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." – (Genesis 4:25).

As more God-fearing sons began to populate the Earth, Satan instituted his Nephilim plan into activity. By corrupting the seed of the adult female, Satan could forestall the birth of the Messiah, who of form, had to be human and not role fallen angel. Satan wants the Word of God to fail but he knew that in addition to the adult female, God prophesied that Satan also would have a "seed" (v. 15). Thus the Nephilim were an endeavour to thwart God's plan of salvation for humanity. At every pace, the Nephilim giants, via their evil angelic parentage, sought to undermine or undo what God had fix out for humanity to be reconciled to Him. In their dominance of the Earth, they reproduced so speedily, God proclaimed that all mankind on the Globe had get corrupted. They dominated the Globe with war, bloodshed and their infidel organized religion (which will be covered in Role 2 of this series).

The Nephilim giants spread violence and sin that: "God saw that the wickedness of homo was smashing in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his center was only evil continually." Humanity was on the verge of beingness wiped out with no hope of existence saved from sin if every person born became function fallen angel. Thus God judged the Globe with the flood.

The Purpose of the Alluvion in Noah's Mean solar day

Rather than beingness an act of cruelty, the Overflowing was God'south way of saving the last of humanity from complete destruction.

Many pastors, Bible scholars and Bible skeptics alike view the alluvion as God'south style of dealing with humanity after humanity only sinning also much. However, with all due respect, this is a very simplistic way of looking at the flood. Later all, today'due south order is just as decadent and depraved, if not far worse than whatever era before (more people accept been killed in war in the past century than in the prior 900 years). So why would such a global judgment only happen in Noah's solar day? The answer is that there were far more complex problems going on in the days of Noah and then just humans sinning.
The flood served 3 chief purposes: 1) To destroy the Nephilim giants. two) To punish the angels who committed the illicit relations with women and make an example of them so that no other angels would ever attempt this once more and iii) to salve humanity from certain destruction.

Much more than the "over-reaction by an angry God" as skeptics like to paint it, the flood was God'south way of preserving the homo race and its bloodline, before information technology became completely corrupted by the Nephilim giants. This is an important indicate: many people today bespeak to the flood as "proof" that God is cruel and aroused with humanity all the time, and willing to just kill millions of people in genocide on a whim. However the Biblical truth was that God sent the inundation to preserve humanity and to make sure nosotros could still receive the promised Redeemer who could save our souls. Without Jesus Christ, there is no hope. There is no futurity. At that place is no forgiveness. Meaning every person would spend eternity in hell. The flood was God'southward style to keep that hope for all people.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Noah was chosen to acquit on and re-start humanity after the flood considering he was a believer in God. Additionally he was "perfect in his generations" which meant that his genetic bloodline and ancestry was 100% homo. Noah had non been a part of the Nephilim hybridization that was plaguing humanity. The Hebrew word for "perfect" in that verse is tamiym, which means "complete, whole" with reference to wellness and concrete condition. This is the same word used to depict the condition of animate being sacrifices to the Lord:

And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to reach his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall exist perfect to be accepted; in that location shall be no blotch therein. – Leviticus 22:21.

Thus Noah, his three sons and their wives were able to survive the flood and re-start humanity. Simply unfortunately, the Nephilim giants returned.

Nephilim Giants After The Flood

Noah and his family unit survived the flood. Merely the Nephilim gene came with them.

" There were giants in the world in those days; and also afterwards that…" — Genesis 6:4

The verse above makes it clear that Nephilim giants returned after the overflowing. Now nowhere in scripture is information technology again written that angels ever cohabited and/or had relations with human women afterward the flood. Genesis 6 was the only instance of this. So how did the Nephilim return? How could this have happened? The Bible holds the reply:

And Noah was half-dozen hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the globe.  And Noah went in, and his sons, and his married woman, and his sons' wives with him , into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. –Genesis 7:vi-vii.

While Noah and his sons were 100% human, nosotros are not told the aforementioned well-nigh the wives of his 3 sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. What is articulate is that one or more of these women were carrying the Nephilim gene. This is the source of the post-flood Nephilim. Nowhere in the Bible is it ever stated that angels once once more cohabited with human being women.

The commencement time Nephilim giants are mentioned by name after the flood is in Numbers thirteen later on the Exodus in which Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt to go to God'southward designated Promised State. Moses sent 12 spies to scout out the land in advance. two of the spies, Caleb and Joshua spoke of the land in glowing terms and urged the Israelites to enter and rightfully merits the country God had promised them. Just the other 10 spies had a different stance:

And Caleb stilled the people earlier Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.  But the men that went up with him said, We be non able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought upward an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a slap-up stature. And at that place we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants : and nosotros were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight . – Numbers 13:31-33.

We volition discuss this extremely important passage in much more detail below merely a few things should exist noted. Beginning off the giants living there were descendants of specific person named Anak.  This description, where a Nephilim is referred to equally "[proper name] who was built-in of the giant.."  shows that the Nephilim hybrids subsequently the flood were the offspring of other giants and not angels (this will be explained in greater item in Part ii).  And in Numbers 13, the giants the spies saw were the sons of the Nephilim giant Anak.

And they were so large that the Israelites spies were similar insects to them. Additionally, these giants had special agricultural knowledge that they knew how to abound grapes so large that information technology took two Israelite men using poles to carry a cluster! So how did the giants return and how was it that they knew to be in the exact identify that God was going to send His chosen people to, namely the state of Canaan? The answer starts with the lineage after the flood.

The Bloodlines of the Nephilim

The Bible provides a specific geneology and bloodline of the Nephilim giants after the flood that can be traced dorsum to Noah'southward own sons. What seems to exist consistent with the presence of the Nephilim gene was an analogousness for evil, due to their fallen celestial parentage. And amid Noah'southward sons, Ham was by far the most wicked.

Ham

"And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan ." – Genesis 9:18.

From the first time Ham is introduced, he is described as "the father of Canaan." Notice none of his brothers get any like distinction. Whenever special descriptions are included in a genealogy in Scripture it is the Bible's manner of saying something pregnant happened with this particular result. And the educatee of the Bible should search the Scriptures to find out what that event could exist. In this case, it is articulate that Canaan carried the Nephilim cistron. This could but happen through his female parent, Ham's wife, having the Nephilim gene herself, since we know Noah in all his generations was 100% homo. If Ham were wicked and not a follower of God, the odds of him taking a wife who was a part of the Nephilim hybrid pagan culture was much higher (B&Eastward: also note that throughout Scripture, men who brutal into sin often concluded up marrying wives who worshiped false gods; for example, Solomon or King Ahab). And from what the Bible details, Ham was no follower of God. In fact, he was involved in an inappropriate incident with Noah that led to a curse:

And Noah began to exist an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father'south nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had washed unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall exist his servant. — Genesis 9:20-26.

The details of this incident are somewhat vague but going by Scripture lonely, it tin exist concluded that Ham, out of evil intent, looked at his begetter's nakedness and so made it public. The Hebrew term for "without", chwuts, means "outside, in the street." Merely the evil of this sexually immoral act is again repeated by the Lord as a general principle for all to follow:

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!  Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou likewise, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the loving cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory. –Habukkuk 2:15-sixteen.

Shem and Japeth, righteous children of Noah, show a contrast as they seek to respect their male parent's nobility by not looking upon, him and carefully covering him. Ham's sin was and then severe that it resulted in his youngest son Canaan becoming the second person in the Bible record to be cursed (the showtime existence Cain, the wicked son of Adam and Eve).

That Ham was wicked (in that location is no tape of him always repenting for this sin) would make it more than probable that he would marry a woman from a heathen family who would exist conveying the Nephilim gene.

Why Would God Permit Nephilim DNA to Get in Through the Overflowing?

(B&East: Special thanks to reader Rick for raising this question). If information technology were non already clear, the reason why God permitted the Nephilim gene to brand it on to the ark is considering of human sin. We can never forget the role we play in homo diplomacy. If humans sin, they will be judged. If they do non follow God's ways, they invite sin and its inevitable destructive force.  Ham was not a follower of God and he was judged for his sinful rebellion via his wife.  As will exist seen in Part 2, the Nephilim nations after the flood are at various times used by God as judgment against the Israelites for their defiance. We are all responsible before God.

Office 2 volition also review Noah and the world he was living in. There were giants walking effectually the World warring with nations, angels openly being revealed and being worshiped as gods and all sorts of supernatural action taking place.  The pre-overflowing earth was a very unique place. Noah'southward family was well aware of this and that it's root was satanic, hence Noah existence a "preacher of righteousness." Ham rejected God's righteousness and God'southward ways to forge his ain. This was solely Ham's mistake. James affiliate ane outlines the process of sin in one's heart:

Blest is the human that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any human being: Simply every man is tempted, when he is drawn abroad of his own lust , and enticed.And so when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when information technology is finished, bringeth along expiry . – James ane:12-15.

Ham was drawn past his own lusts to the pagan, sinful globe. He knew the right way to live considering the Bible states that  Noah was a "preacher of righteousness."  Noah and his family were completely aware of the Nephilim hybridization taking place and Noah conspicuously fabricated efforts to live separate from this.  Despite having the virtually Holy homo on the planet (literally) as is his male parent, Ham had no faith in God.   This e'er brings in sin to a person'southward life. Nosotros can never forget that when looking at any Biblical account. God could have certainly killed Ham's married woman or told Ham "she'due south corrupted" but it is this author's thinking that Ham did not care about what God had to say because Ham was not a follower of God. Ham had a selection. And he chose to reject God.

There are  many examples of this in scripture. Moses led the Israelites out of Arab republic of egypt and right upwards to the Promised Country just could not enter. Why not? Because of his sin. King David brought the ark to Jerusalem where it was supposed to exist all along but could not build the temple for it. Why not? Sin. King Solomon had the most prosperous reign in all of State of israel and however led to the nation dividing and ultimately existence conquered. Why? Sin. Sin provides the backstairs for Satan to enter and execute his next move in the chess match between he and God. Let this be a lesson to the reader: Satan is relentless in his quest to corrupt and destroy you. And if he cannot go to you, he will happily enter your life through a kid or family member.   Ephesians 4 states:

"That ye put off apropos the former conversation the old man, which is decadent according to the deceitful lusts; And exist renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new homo, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness… Neither requite identify to the devil ." – Ephesians 4:22-27.

We are renewed in the spirit when we have salvation in Jesus Christ. And we are non to get out any space in our lives for Satan to enter.  Satan entered the space of the ark because Ham invited him.

The Curse of Canaan

What is interesting is that Cannan of Ham's 3 sons, was the i cursed. Why? Why is Ham distinguished as "the father of Canaan" ? Is it possible that Canaan was already showing the appearance of being part Nephilim? This is not stated in scripture, but we volition run across a like stardom made for some other infamous hybrid being below. What we can know with certainty that it is from the line of Ham that we find the resurgence of the Nephilim giants.

By comparing Scripture with Scripture, the lineage of the mail-alluvion giants tin can exist traced specifically to three of Ham's sons, Cush, Mizraim and Canaan. The Bible is total of lineages and the Bible pupil should take note that they concur significance in bettering our understanding of Scripture. The first grandson of Ham who receives special designation in Genesis 10 is King Nimrod.

Nimrod

Nimrod led the tower of Babel rebellion. Was he a Nephilim giant?

And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even equally Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the commencement of his kingdom was Boom-boom, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.  Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the metropolis Rehoboth, and Calah,  And Resen betwixt Nineveh and Calah: the same is a not bad city. – Genesis 10:6-12.

Merely as Canaan received a special distinction in his genealogy, Nimrod gets several extra verses! Conspicuously this is someone of special significance. Nimrod was the first murderer and conquistador in the post-inundation world. He was the founder of the city of Babylon which became a eye of heathen, satanic idolatry, much of it with various versions of Nimrod himself beingness worshiped as a god. His name, which ways "to rebel" or "let us rebel" indicates his disposition. He was an enemy of God and at the time was Satan's primary servant on Earth. He is credited for leading the try to build the tower of Babel, a religious temple used to admission the angelic realm through pagan ritual. The Tower of Babel was besides the get-go attempt at a global government, led by Nimrod and an endeavor for man to reach the spiritual realm and "godhood" without The Lord (to which God swiftly responded by destroying the tower, confusing the languages of all the people of the world and scattering them all over the Globe). Was this grandson of Ham possibly a Nephilim?
Information technology is interesting to note is that the poetry 9 states that Nimrod "began to exist a mighty one in the earth." The term for "mighty ane", gibborim, is the same Hebrew phrase used to describe the Nephilim giants in Chapter half dozen of Genesis who were "mighty men". Information technology is also the same term used to draw the giant Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:51. Was Nimrod a Nephilim? In mythology, Nimrod is known by many names, among them Gilgamesh and Osiris, who were worshiped equally gods. In Sumerian texts he is described every bit "2/3 god, 1/3 man." The Hebrew word for "began" in the poetry is chalal, which means, "to profane, desecrate or pollute oneself, begin, ritually or sexually".

Matthew Henry's Bible commentary on this passage states:

That which is appreciable and improvable in these verses is the account here given of Nimrod, 5. 8-10. He is here represented as a great man in his day: He began to be a mighty one in the world, that is, whereas those that went earlier him were content to stand up upon the aforementioned level with their neighbours, and though every homo diameter dominion in his ain house nonetheless no man pretended whatever further, Nimrod'southward aspiring mind could not rest here; he was resolved to belfry above his neighbours, not simply to be eminent amongst them, but to lord it over them. The same spirit that actuated the giants before the flood (who became mighty men, and men of renown, ch. 6:4), now revived in him, so shortly was that tremendous judgment which the pride and tyranny of those mighty men brought upon the earth forgotten. (source)

The last slice of bear witness to consider is that in the Septuagint, the oldest version of the Old Testament, the aforementioned verse from Genesis reads:

And [Cush] begot [Nimrod]: he began to be a giant upon the earth . He was a behemothic hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As [Nimrod] the behemothic hunter earlier the Lord. – Genesis 10:eight,9 (LXX)

And then from merely the text of scripture it appears that through some form of defilement and/or occult ritual, Nimrod. the grandson of Ham, was transformed into a giant. This would not exist the only time a human king was transformed into a dissimilar creature. Please note that in Daniel 4, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, was literally transformed into a "beast" and lived as an animal for vii years. And this was at the pronouncement of "watchers" and "holy ones" (the same type of angels that are named as beingness involved in the Genesis 6 illicit relations in extra-biblical texts like the Book of Enoch). (B&East: There is much more to write on Nimrod and his role in Bible scripture that will exist covered in a forthcoming article. In the meantime, nosotros strongly encourage the reader to inquiry and explore this figure).

Casluhim and Capthor

And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,  And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. – Genesis 10:13-fourteen.

Ham'south son Mizaraim as well contributed to the Nephilim lineage. In verse xiv nosotros have the showtime mention of the Phillistines (whose forefather was Phillistim), the nation of the behemothic Goliath. Calshuhim was the father of Phillistim and his family subsequently resided in Capthor in the Promised Country. So we see the direct origins of the Philistines, one of the most heated enemies of the Israelites, who too carried the Nephilim gene.
In fact, as will be shown, the Philistine nation was the final "hideout" for the remnant of the Nephilim giants. And they tin can be traced back to Casluhim, the son of Mizraim and grandson of the evil Ham.
Canaan

The name of Canaan should be the nigh familiar as it was the country that diameter his proper noun that was the Promised Land that The Lord reserved for the Israelites later on they escaped out of Egypt thanks to God miracles and the leadership of Moses. The fact that they were in the Promised Land the Israelites were supposed to inhabit was no coincidence! The Philistines were worshipers of demons, fallen angels and Satan. And the Nephilim giants amidst them were working to assault God's chosen people. Canaan'due south line contains many of the enemies of God:

And Mizraim begat Ludim,  And Canaan begat Sidon his outset born, and Heth,  And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, — Genesis x:14-16.

The Jebusites, the Amorites and Gegusites, all cousins of Nimrod, are mentioned fourth dimension and time again with reference to the Israelites capturing the Promised State. These families were usurpers in the Promised Country and carried lots of the Nephilim gene. This is once once more why God had to deal mercilessly with these nations. Information technology cannot be stressed enough that the Nephilim threatened not just the existence of the human race itself simply the ability of an all-human Messiah to eventually be born as well. Note God'southward instructions to Moses on how to battle confronting these children of the cursed Canaan:

When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither k goest to possess it, and hath bandage out many nations earlier thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; one thousand shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt brand no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:  Neither shalt k make marriages with them; thy daughter grand shalt not requite unto his son, nor his daughter shalt k take unto thy son. — Deuteronomy 7:1-three.

Detect that God describes these nations every bit "greater and mightier than 1000" to the Israelites. The physical and armed forces advantage was clearly on the side of the enemies of God – the nations that were home to the Nephilim giants. But what gave the Israelites the ultimate border was that The Lord Himself was going to supernaturally intervene early on in the conflict to evangelize the enemies of State of israel so they could be defeated. This point is not discussed enough: God fought against and defeated the early on mail-flood Nephilim.  This shows the severity of the matter. The Lord was no longer allowing these superhuman, powerful hybrids to dominate humanity. Thus He not simply says to wipe out these nations, simply makes a specific point of prohibiting any wedlock betwixt them. God was bringing the spread of the Nephilim genes to an cease.

Lord willing, at this point it is clear that giants did indeed exist in the Bible and in large number. Satan, who has constantly sought to stop God's plans and destroy the souls of humanity, used a select group of angels to interbreed with human women and try to corrupt human DNA. By altering humanity from being no longer fully human, Satan could ensure that a pure human Messiah would never exist built-in. To counter Satan's offensive, God sent the global inundation judgment to punish those angels who committed folly, destroy the Nephilim and save the being of the human being race. The overflowing ensured the Messianic bloodline was preserved so that we could have a gamble to get to Sky. It was as an act of love of mercy on God's role to save a people that had rejected him to follow Satan's minions and their God-given powers.

The bloodline of the Nephilim subsequently the flood can be clearly traced to Ham, Noah's evil son who brought a curse upon his own kid, Canaan.  But this is just the outset. In Part 2, "Nephilim Giants – Enemies of God in the Bible" (which is at present available!) we will continue to examine the post-flood Nephilim lineage from the perspective of the righteous men of God who fought against them throughout the Old Testament in the standing chess match between God and Satan and the Sons of God against the seed of the Serpent. The article will also look that equally the number of Nephilim giants on the Earth decreased, they soon became smaller in size. And we volition reveal a modern occult mystery and then secret even Wikipedia states it practise not have the answer for it! These and other revelations will be detailed, all of this from the pages of Holy Scripture.
