Any interest in discussion of Genesis 6 : 1-4 on the subject of giants, and their relationship to events in scripture.
Here a good study backed from ScriptureAny interest in discussion of Genesis 6 : 1-4 on the subject of giants, and their relationship to events in scripture.
Good point about two eruptions of the nephilim. But I don't think there is going to a return of the nephilim because we don't see any evidence of it right now, and I feel we are very close to formation of the ten king (leader) form of government in the EU.Genesis 6. The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that.
Looking back we can see two eruptions of the nephilim both before and after the flood but there is nothing to say that there will or won't be a third. ALSO AFTER THAT doesn't necessarily mean only one eruption.
There are people out there who believe in a return of the nephilim in the end times , so who knows.
Not that I understand all above in the same manner, but, you're forgetting that Scripture constantly gives witness that when the supernatural is in operation, its great power is not limited by the same time and space constraints as we mere mortals.
2 Kings 19:
35. And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Luke 4:
5. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Don't know whats going on with this site but above post is corrupted as well not as I posted it will try to repair whole lines have been deleted????
Why would fallen angels procreate with human women? I believe the answer is found in the scripture below.
Gen. 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
We know this verse was a prophecy, that the womans seed would produce Christ the redeemer of mankind, and that He would would bruise the head of satan (satans defeat at Calvary, with Christs resurrection) while his (Christs) heel was brusied through his crucifixion. We have all heard much about the seed of the woman on this regard, but what about the seed of the serpent? We dont really talk much about that.
Gen. 6: 6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There 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 same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
I believe these verses above show the beginning of satans attempt to corrupt Gods plan to send a redeemer through the seed of the woman, by intermingling the seed of satan (fallen angels) into the human race.
Gen. 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Noah was perfect in his generations I believe this does not refer to his righteousness before God but to his genetics that had not been corrupted by the seed of the serpent. God had already said he was a just man but added and perfect in his generations. This would explain why God had to totally destroy the earth men women and children. All flesh had been corrupted.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
I believe there was more to God destroying the earth that just the wickedness of mankind, Im convinced had not God taken this extreme action, satan would have completely corrupted the seed of woman.
Gen. 6: 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that.

I really try to avoid the discussion. It's a curious verse...and as a babe in Christ in the late 80's I believed it was angels inbreeding with women.
After really studying it much later I tend to agree it's simply belivers intermarrying with unbelievers.
Anyway the problem comes in understanding the Hebrew "ben elohiym".
