It is fascinating how the human mind seems to automatically search for patterns --- in geological features, in clouds, in tea leaves, etc. And when we look for patterns, be it consciously or unconsciously, we will find patterns.

yes and those that believe such nonsense as rock formations that look like giants must be giant fossils of giants prove people are easily duped. your joking right? come on the gig is up. You dont really believe this right? right?
Well, let me take a guess at something.. Do you believe that the dinosaurs in museums are actual bones?

Enoch most certainly IS in the Bible... his book is not part of the canon, however.
It would be more accurate to say the book claimed to be written by Enoch.

When the Bible speaks of giants I believe it refers to great men of the past just as we speak of "giants of industry" or "giants of science". Aside from that, there are physical limitations to the size a human can grow to. The first such is known as the square-cube law. If a human were to be expanded to, say, three times his size while maintaining his same proportions he would not be three times heavier he would be three cubed or twenty seven times heavier. However, bone strength increases as the square of bone diameter so this hypothetical giant’s bone strength would not be three times greater, it would be three squared or nine times greater. This means that compared to a normal human being our hypothetical giant’s bones would be under three times as much strain. In other words such a giant would have difficulty supporting his own weight without his bones collapsing under him. To illustrate, if a six foot tall man weighing 200 pounds were to be magnified three times, he would be eighteen feet tall and weigh 5400 pounds while his bone strength would only have increased enough to support 1800 pounds. Large creatures in the animal kingdom can compensate for this by having a much more massive bone structure to carry the weight. Think here of animals like the elephant, the rhinocerus and the hippo.. Some animals can also compensate by spending a lot of time being bouyed in an aquatic environment. Whales are the largest creatures to have ever lived and they must spend their entire lives in water. In the event of beaching they eventually die of asphixiation because they lack the strength to work their own lungs without the support of water. Some humans suffering from genetic gigantism have grown as tall as 9 feet. Such individuals have mostly been “bean poles”. Almost all of them have been extremely frail and clumsy. The clumsyness arises from the speed with which nerve impulses can travel from brain to muscle. In modern times the largest in proportion human being was Angus MacAskill who stood 7’9” tall and was 425 pounds. He seems to represent an upper limit to “normal” human giants. A giant 2000 ells (cubits) tall would be 3000 feet! Such a geologic size person would be fabulous ---- that is, a creature of fable.
I understand your skepticism about the size of the giants of the bible. However, a spider web strand is very strong for it's density ((Spider dragline silk has a tensile strength of roughly 1.3 GPa. The tensile strength listed for steel might be slightly higher—e.g. 1.65 GPa, but spider silk is a much less dense material, so that a given weight of spider silkis five times as strong as the same weight of steel.)

From what I understand, these giants are hybrids and as such, if they can grow to great stature.. could also have different bone density or material....

For us to sit here, in 2019 and argue about events and materials of pre flood... we are going to have errors.

What's the other half? And what scripture say anything about half human anything?
The bible states that the "Son's of God" mated with the "daughters of man"... That is half human half angel.

Hello. I read thru it just once back in about 2006 and was interested in this 10 week prophecy.
Here is a discussion thread on it for those interested.

The 10 weeks of Enoch, inspired or not?

Enoch. The prophecy of the 10 weeks
The Messianic Way Blog | The Messianic Way

Although the book of Enoch falls outside the current canon of scripture, it is an important book that tells us a lot about the important beliefs of the early church and the Jews of that time. It has been included in the canon at times in the past and was clearly a very important book to the early Messianic believers and was usually found bound together with the Gospels and Epistles of the Early church. Many copies were found at Qumran.

The authorship of the book is contested because its style changes several times through its text which would indicate more that one writer. This may be in part due to the fact that many of the early works of Judaism were preserved through an oral tradition and later put into written form. I am not a biblical scholar and have no basis to prove this, so it is then my opinion that this is the case.
But the fact remains that it is without a doubt a pre- Christian writing by as much as a 200 years and was accepted by the early church as a work handed down from Enoch. The accuracy of the prophetic writings in it speak for themselves. Many copies of Enoch was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls which date to at least 160 BCE.

Jesus himself makes reference to its teachings and uses some of the same expressions which makes you believe that He was very familiar with the book. Jude also quotes from the book as does John in the revelation:

3. And Enoch began to recount from the books and said;
I was born the seventh in the first week,
While judgement and righteousness still endured.
4. And after me there shall arise in the second week great wickedness,
And deceit shall have sprung up;
And in it there shall be the first end. And in it a man shall be saved;
And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up;
And a law shall be made for the sinners.
5. And after that in the third week at it’s close
A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous Judgement.
And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.
6. And after that in the fourth week, at it’s close,
Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen.
And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them.
7. And after that in the fifth week, at it’s close,
The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever.
8. And after that in the sixth week all who live in it shall be blinded,
And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom.
And in it a man shall ascend; and at it’s close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire,
And the race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.
9. And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise,
and many shall be it’s deeds, And all it’s deed shall be apostate.
10. And at it’s close shall be elected The elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness,
To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.

12. And after that there shall be another, the eighth week, that of righteousness,
And a sword shall be given to it that a righteous Judgement may be executed on the oppressors,
And the sinners shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous.
13. And at it’s close they shall acquire houses through their righteousness,
And a house shall be built for the Great King in glory for evermore,
And all mankind shall look to the path of uprightness.
14. And after that in the ninth week, the righteous judgment
shall be revealed to the whole world,
And all the works of the godless shall vanish from all the earth.
And the world shall be written down for destruction.
15. And after this, in the tenth week in the seventh part,
There shall be the great eternal judgement, in which
He will execute vengeance amongst the angels.
16. And the first heaven shall depart and pass away,
and a new heaven shall appear, and all the powers of the heavens shall give sevenfold light.
17. And after that there will be many weeks without number forever.

Book of Enoch - Wikipedia

The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch;[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ mets’iḥāfe hēnoki)
is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

Enoch warrants special attention for the unique material it holds, such as the origins of supernatural demons and giants, why some angels fell from heaven, details explaining why the Great Flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.

The older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300 BCE, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the 1st century BCE.[2]

It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as noncanonical or noninspired. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other Christian groups.[citation needed]............................

Some of the authors of the New Testament were familiar with some of the content of the story.[4] A short section of 1 Enoch (1:9) is cited in the New Testament, Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14–15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 60:8), although this section of 1 Enoch is a midrash on Deuteronomy 33:2. Several copies of the earlier sections of 1 Enoch were preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls.[citation needed]

Contents
======================================
This Ethiopic version of the Book of Enoch is deemed by scholars to be older by several centuries than the Slavonic one, and portions of that older version are in turn known to have been based on Keepers of the Secrets 129 even older manuscripts, such as a lost Book of Noah. Fragments of the Enoch books were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls. The astronomical-calendrical tale of Enoch thus goes back into great antiquity - perhaps, as the Bible asserts, to pre-Diluvial times. ~ Z.S.

The book of Enoch is "Definitely" not for the Babies in spirit … it would only cause confusion and fear in one ... it's a Secret only for they Saints of age in Christ ...

Wisdom comes with age for it is the Gray heir on your head your Silver Crown of Life on your Head for all to see , HE lives within all ...
Light and Life are one in the same as is Darkness and Death are the same in Creation there will be more Darkness then they are Light just look up at a night sky ... Lightworker REC at 62 years young on earth , But He was There in the Beginning of Space and in Time for all to partake of ...
Proverbs 8 is The Christ just talking to You and You only , He Calls Out to you From the Beginning of Time , He is Wisdom people , Amen ... and He's still at He's Work by His Holy Spirit Amen

Im listening to Enoch for the first time in my life and I Cry as I wait in traffic( truly a blessing in disguise) of how we've been robbed from this truth.
I'm a sinner in capital letters and hope God will have mercy on my soul as I awaken to this false reality that we've been subject to from day 1! Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me. I sinner!

Jesus Christ / Yeshua spoke about Enoch as it was biblical in those days. But the False Idol Worshipping Catholic Church decided to leave it out of the Bible. Why? They would rather commit Pagan Sun Worship. Or Pray and Praise Mary rather than the Trinity God Our Father, Yeshua His Son and The Holly Spirit

The bible states that the "Son's of God" mated with the "daughters of man"... That is half human half angel.

Angels do not marry anyone--why in the world would they submit to a religious ceremony when they turned their backs God Himself?? And if they turned their backs on God, why would they adhere to a human ceremony? Angels can not procreate, they can only make themselves appear as human. They can not create life, this is why they "possess'--they can't become human in any way. Do you know how tall these creatures are supposed to be? A human woman can't carry the offspring of such a huge being. I've heard every theory there is out there about this and none of it makes any sense. The text itself says they were men--men of renown--not half breeds of angels. God did not make them to procreate--they are Hs messengers. You really believe God created billions of all male creatures (not a one has a female name) with the proper "equipment" to procreate, but gave them no females to do so with? God doesn't do unnecessary. He doesn't make stuff that has no purpose. Only God can make things reproduce, God would have had to recreate them after they fell to be able to do so and why would He do that only to turn around and wipe them out for doing so? Makes absolutely no sense at all.

This says that there were mighty men --MEN--thy were men of authority, probably religious leaders--priests, who married women who were not followers of God.
Yes it does say that. It also says "There were Giants in the land in those days, and after that".

When you say "probably" religious leaders-- priests.. what is your reasoning for your speculation?

There were giants in those days--yep---they lived to over 900 years, nothing says how tall Adam and Eve were. Why do people think they were as tall as we are today?

You are right. We have no way of knowing the height of Adam and Eve. We do know that they lived much longer.. Is it possible that there are many many things about this time period that are very different than today?

One thing you missed from your quote was the " and after that" part after the "in those days" part.

Angels can not procreate.

Please show me how you arrived at this conclusion. The angels that came to help Lot and his family were desired by the town folk and they wanted to have sex with them. Even over Lot's daughters, that he offered up instead...

Jesus made that clear. For a human female to give birth to the offspring of something like what you seem to think these things were---she would have died before she could even give birth.
I don't think that these things were giant babies.. they grew into giants.. just like Nimrod was a giant hunter.. then.. became a giant.. there is something more going on here.


Even a little person carrying a normal sized baby has to have a C section and it is considered a high risk pregnancy. Doesn't anyone think about the implications of such a thing happening? And why in the world would a fallen angel "marry" a human woman?

Because the human women were beautiful and the angels desired to have sex with them? I'm pretty sure that is what is meant by:

Genesis 6:2 New International Version (NIV)
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

If he could procreate, he cares nothing about the law of God, much less the laws of men--marriage is a religious ceremony.
Yep, you are right.. they did not care about the law of God. These were rebellious fallen angels.
Not only did they not care, but God punished them by chaining them in the depths of hell for 70 generations. That's a pretty severe punishment for a heavenly being with all the abilities of an angel.

You do realize that this whole event was the blueprint of Satan to corrupt the human line of DNA in order to block the Savior from having a method of coming to earth as a fully human man... Right?

He almost succeeded.... In the end "all flesh was corrupted" Only Noah and his family were "pure in their generations" Which simply means "of pure human lineage".

All angels mentioned have male names---God does not approve of same sex unions. So why would God make angels with unneeded "equipment" for copulating with females and not make them any females?
I don't know. Why make a being without a sex and call it male? This is not sufficient to say that they cannot have male parts.

You think God has billions of male angels up there with all the proper equipment lusting after human females?
Well, if "lust" is a sin... then the heavenly angels are not "lusting".

The angels that stayed with God are all righteous or they could not be in His presence. The fallen are not righteous.


That would be cruel. Seriously, it makes no sense. I've even had people say that "Well, it's only the fallen angels that can do this."---Really?
Yes, really... No angel can be sinful and exist in God's presence. The fallen chose to rebel and follow Satan.

You think they can create for themselves body parts that God never gave them?
No.

They can not actually create anything. They can only appear to be human or animals, not become one.
Do you have a source for this knowledge or is it your belief or speculation?

Besides which, they are of a different order than we. We were created lower than the angels, They are not our kind.
True.. but this does not eliminate the possibility. We were created "slightly lower" than the angels.

Hebrews 2:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:


Only God could give the that capability and why would He recreate a fallen angel to give them that ability and then turn around and kill them for using that ability?? Doesn't add up any way you slice it.

God didn't "Create" fallen angels.. He created angles.. of all ranks and abilities and orders...

He did not "kill" these angels... He chained them for 70 generations.

Most are epoxy casts of fossils. Why?
Because there are very low percentages of any of those animals that are actually fossilized bones... Yes, they are epoxy recreations.... The bones are put away somewhere...

Why do you believe that these animal bones are real.. but other people cannot claim that there are other more amazing fossilized beings.

Dino's fossils have actually been found, giant human/angels however have not. mountain sized people?
