The Jewish historian Josephus, writing of the time of the Exodus and conquest of Canaan, tells us further:

"There were till then left the RACE OF GIANTS, who had bodies so large, and countenances so entirely different from other men, that they were surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing. The bones of these men are still shown to this very day, unlike to any credible relations of other men" (Ant., V,ii,3).

The Apocrypha claim the disembodied giants [Nephilim] are the origin of demons, and accuse them of many crimes. Jubilees places the blame for the Flood squarely upon the fornication of the Watchers [sons of God] and the iniquity and bloodshed of the Nephilim. "And now the giants who were born from souls and flesh will be called evil spirits upon the earth," charges I Enoch XV-XVI, "From the day of...the slaughter and destruction of the giant Nephilim, the mighty ones of the earth, the great famous ones, the spirits that have gone out from their souls as from the flesh will destroy without judgment."

Even the mortal women who are their mothers are cursed to become sirens and demonesses. In Jubilees X:1-6, Noah's sons beg him to protect their children from "unclean demons" who are "leading astray, blinding and killing" them; Noah, petitioning God to "let not wicked spirits rule over [my grandchildren] and destroy them", adds, "Thou knowest what thy Watchers, the fathers of these spirits, did in my day..." making it clear that the demonic spirits and the Nephilim are considered one and the same. (One wonders if Kainam was one of these grandchildren being "led astray" by a "demonic" Nephilim familiar. Maybe it was helping him interpret the stone...)

Earthbound spirits of the dead giants [Nephilim] are the demons Jesus dealt with.

Jesus spoke of these evil spirits -- He cast out many demons from people, throughout His ministry, and gave this same authority to His servants. Early in His ministry, He encountered an extremely violent and super-strong demoniac who dwelt among the tombs near the sea of Galilee.

"When he reached the opposite side, the country of the Gadarenes, he was met by two demons who ran out of the tombs; they were so violent that nobody could pass along the road there. They shrieked, 'Son of God, what business have you with us? Have you come here to torture us before it is time? Now, some distance away, there was a large drove of swine grazing; so the demons begged him saying, 'If you are going to cast us out, send us into that drove of swine.' He said to them, 'Begone!' So out they came and went to the swine, and the entire drove rushed down the steep slope into the sea and perished in the water" (Matt.8:28-32, Moffatt translation).

As God's servants, with the Holy Spirit of God dwelling within us (Rom.8:9-10; 5:32), we do not have to fear or be afraid of these demonic spirits. Jesus gave His disciples power and authority to CAST OUT demons, just as He did, setting an example!

"And summoning his twelve disciples he gave them power over unclean spirits, power to cast them out and also to heal every sickness and disease" (Matt.10:1, Moffatt).

This commission and charge was not just for the original disciples and apostles. It was an on-going commission and commandment for the Church of God throughout the ages! Notice! In His final instructions to the disciples,

Jesus declared: "And he said to them, 'Go to all the world and preach the gospel to every creature: he who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who will not believe shall be condemned. And as for those who believe, these miracles will follow: they will cast out demons in my name . . ." (Mark 16:15-17, Moffatt).

Jude says these wicked angels left their own "habitation" (Jude 6). The word is oiketerion in Greek, and is also used in II Corinthians 5:2 -- "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven." Says Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of this word, it means, "habitation, house." Thus these angels left their own spirit body, and took on human form! That is how they accomplished this despicable, rebellious act of lust and wanton disregard for the laws of God. The result? Tragedy beyond measure. Wickedness supreme. Murder, lawlessness, and mayhem unparalleled in the history of the entire Universe!

The progeny of these rebellious angels were called "giants" -- Nephilim in the Hebrew. These were monsters of iniquity, and being superhuman in size and character had to be destroyed once and for all. This grievous intermarriage was an insidious attempt by Satan the devil to prevent the coming of the promised "Seed" of the woman to redeem the human race. He thought that he would pervert and corrupt the blood-line of human beings, so that the Messiah could not be born! It was also an abortive attempt to "play God" on the part of Satan and his fallen angels -- to duplicate and copy God 's plan of procreation!

Interestingly, these "half-breeds" of angels and women -- these offspring of the union of wicked angels and women -- since they are not truly "human" in the full sense of the word, have no place in the plan of God, and will not be in the resurrection. They will not be resurrected from the grave in the time to come of the great Judgment.

The very name, Rephaim, in the Hebrew comes from the root rapha which means not only "giant," but also "lax," that is, "ghost," "as dead," "dead, deceased." Says Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon, "flaccid, feeble, weak, only in plural." This authority states, "According to the opinions of the ancient Hebrews, void of blood and animal life, therefore weak and languid like a sick person." Isaiah 26:14 speaks of them, but their name is translated "deceased." Notice! "They are dead, they are deceased [Rephaim], they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish." Isn't it interesting to note that many of the so-called "aliens" which have been "seen" by various people, when described, all appear rather weak, flaccid, limp, and feeble in appearance, lacking energy and vitality?

Where to find the Nephilim/Giants in the Bible:

ji'-ants The word appears in the King James Version as the translation of the Hebrew words nephilim ( ); repha'im ( , etc.); rapha' ( ), or raphah ( ); in one instance of gibbor, literally, "mighty one" ( ).

In the first two cases the Revised Version (British and American) changes "giants" into the Hebrew words "Nephilim," nephilim, and "Rephaim," repha'im, respectively. The "Nephilim of are not to be confounded with the "mighty men" subsequently described as the offspring of the unlawful marriages, of "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men." It is told that they overspread the earth prior to these unhallowed unions. That the word, whatever its etymology, bears the sense of men of immense stature is evident from the later passages; . The same is true of the "Rephaim," as shown by the instance of Og ( ). There is no doubt about the meaning of the word in the ease of the giants mentioned in and .

When did Giants live?Those mentioned in the Bible, Nephilim, Emim and Anakim, may have been a tiny element of a once expansive human giant civilization, especially before the Great Flood of the Bible, and other sources.

Giants (1.) Heb. nephilim , meaning "violent" or "causing to fall" (Gen 6:4). These were the violent tyrants of those days, those who fell upon others. The word may also be derived from a root signifying "wonder," and hence "monsters" or "prodigies." In Num 13:33 this name is given to a Canaanitish tribe, a race of large stature, "the sons of Anak."

The Revised Version, in these passages, simply transliterates the original, and reads "Nephilim." (2.) Heb. rephaim , a race of giants (Deu 3:11) who lived on the east of Jordan, from whom was descended. They were probably the original inhabitants of the land before the immigration of the Canaanites. They were conquered by Chedorlaomer (Gen 14:5), and their territories were promised as a possession to Abraham (Gen 15:20).

The Anakim, Zuzim, and Emim were branches of this stock. In Job 26:5 (R.V., "they that are deceased;" marg., "the shades," the "Rephaim") and Isa 14:9 this Hebrew word is rendered (A.V.) "dead." It means here "the shades," the departed spirits in Sheol. In Sam2 21:16, Sam2 21:18, Sam2 21:20, 33, "the giant" is (A.V.) the rendering of the singular form ha raphah, which may possibly be the name of the father of the four giants referred to here, or of the founder of the Rephaim. The Vulgate here reads "Arapha," whence Milton (in Samson Agonistes) has borrowed the name "Harapha." (See also Ch1 20:5, Ch1 20:6, Ch1 20:8; Deu 2:11, Deu 2:20; Deu 3:13; Jos 15:8, etc., where the word is similarly rendered "giant.") It is rendered "dead" in (A.V.) Psa 88:10; Pro 2:18; Pro 9:18; Pro 21:16 : in all these places the Revised Version marg. has "the shades." (See also Isa 26:14.) (3.)

Heb. 'Anakim (Deu 2:10, Deu 2:11, Deu 2:21; Jos 11:21, Jos 11:22; Jos 14:12, Jos 14:15; called "sons of Anak," Num 13:33; "children of Anak," Num 13:22; Jos 15:14), a nomad race of giants descended from Arba (Jos 14:15), the father of Anak, that dwelt in the south of Palestine near Hebron (Gen 23:2; Jos 15:13). They were a Cushite tribe of the same race as the Philistines and the Egyptian shepherd kings. David on several occasions encountered them (Sam2 21:15). From this race sprung Goliath (Sa1 17:4). (4.) Heb. 'emin , a warlike tribe of the ancient Canaanites.

They were "great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims" (Gen 14:5; Deu 2:10, Deu 2:11). (5.) Heb. Zamzummim (q.v.), Deu 2:20 so called by the Amorites. (6.) Heb. gibbor (Job 16:14), a mighty one, i.e., a champion or hero. In its plural form (gibborim) it is rendered "mighty men" (2 Sam. 23:8-39; Kg1 1:8; 1 Chr. 11:9-47; Ch1 29:24.) The band of six hundred whom David gathered around him when he was a fugitive were so designated. They were divided into three divisions of two hundred each, and thirty divisions of twenty each. The captains of the thirty divisions were called "the thirty," the captains of the two hundred "the three," and the captain over the whole was called "chief among the captains" (Sam2 23:8). The sons born of the marriages mentioned in Gen 6:4 are also called by this Hebrew name.

God had to drown Giants in flood because human DNA was corrupted , Noah was "perfect" in way of having perfect DNA and not being sinless man .

We know demons make Giants because Giants were after flood aswell , everything died which was alive during flood so the only explanation is that demons make Giants .

(demons did not die because they are alredy dead spirits the moment they disobey God because there is no sacrifice for them to make up for that mess which they did ) .

Question:

Are there still any of the original fallen angels that Satan deceived? Or are all of them bound according to Jude? Personally, I believe the reason it was said that this would also happen "afterwards" was because not all the fallen angels participated before the flood, so didn't join their brothers chained in hell. But after the flood, they produced giants as well, and can happen even now.

So the question is are fallen angels, demons. Or are demons the spirits of the hybrids? As for the human women who died in the flood, I don't believe they are still walking around, but are in the grave until they will be destroyed in the lake of fire.

Manetho, the Egyptian Historian said before the dynasties, Egypt was ruled by the dead and demigods. A curious claim until you see the connection between the rephaim meaning dead. It also shares a root with "healer" which is why they were called up to imbue kings and strengthen their rule.

For example here is an Amorite incantation.

You are summoned, O Rephaim of the earth,
You are invoked, O council of the Didanu!
Ulkn, the Raphi’, is summoned,
Trmn, the Raphi’, is summoned,
Sdn-w-rdn is summoned,
Ṯr ‘llmn is summoned,
the Rephaim of old are summoned!
You are summoned, O Rephaim of the earth,
You are invoked, O council of the Didanu!”

Christians, all this stuff from the old world is coming back. Hidden in our very own Bibles is a prophecy of it in Daniel 2:43 "Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." (Youngs LITERAL Translation)

Please Christians, research this material, put away this modern Sethite theory that the disciples knew not. The fields are already filled with the army of the coming deceiver and unless you understand this material it will be entirely invisible to you. All these things that were done back then are being done now, clandestinely.

According to the Book of Enoch, our only extant source that the Bible can give some credence (through Jude's reference of Enochs prophecy found only in the book Enoch), those angels are imprisoned in a place of 7 stars (Pleiades?) however it says their spirits still deceive mankind from that prison "'Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray"

Of the women it says they would be sirens. This is not the Greek siren, but refers to a far more ancient category. Ancient Mesopotamia categorized 6 types of spirits. This was a subcategory of one of those spirit types known as a nighthag, which was a mother who died in child birth. It is what is refereed to in Isaiah 34:14 which most Bibles translate screech Owl. Ancient people believed these types of demons would wander around and would screech like owls. (source "The Devils and evil spirits of Babylonia" Scholarly material with cuneiform translations of every relevant tablet in the back)

The material and structure of Enoch correlates directly with ancient Chaldean beliefs regarding the sources of evil spirits. It's hard to believe in such a thing as the night hag but ancient Isrealites did believe in something like that. In ancient belief trauma at death could produce an evil spirit that haunts the earth, a mother who died in child birth, or an unburied corpse were commonly believed events that could cause a spirit to haunt. It could be that these women died in child birth with these giants and that is why they became night hags. Not necessarily that all of them did, but that sometimes this causes enough trauma to produce a haunting ghost.

From where did you get the Amorite incantation? Is that in the Bible? Text please, I'd like to mark that in my Bible.

It's hard to believe in such a thing as the night hag but ancient Isrealites did believe in something like that. The nature of demon spirits comes from their angelic fathers so perhaps that somehow altered the women? I can only speculate.

Interesting, thanks.

It's from a Ugaritic tablet. Reference KTU 1.161 or alternatively RS 34.126. I'll see if I can find a full text online.

I can't find a simple way to link you too it. But you can find the full text at Academia.edu. It's free, you just have to make an account. I have been using it for a while, it's a great source of scholarly material on various things. Amar Annus "are there Greek Rephaim" is a really good one to check out.

Where are all the bones of these giants? Not photoshopped ones! Real ones!

Not seen any in museums etc etc.
I have never seen one. The Masoretic texts tend to make the giants to be massive, but according to the Septuagint Goliath only had 4 inches on me. If you follow the Septuagints heights they were giants relative to the height of ancient man and you should be able to find one after some travel to a museum.

...Thats not to say large giants have not been reported. Just not seen publicly. If you look into Americas past you will find literally thousands of reports of enormously tall people, some accounts even derive from the Smithsonian. There is even a french scientific journal, La nature, that published a finding in the peer reviewed journal of a 10 foot tall man.

I'm glad my weirdness could actually assist on something. I thought a bit more about the sirens and edited my comments on them. I think it makes far more sense of that passage that the mothers died in child birth. At least some of them, and that was something that was believed in ancient times to produce a haunting spirit. Not certainly produce one but could produce one.

Your claims the Biblical records of the Nephilim size is in error? May I suggest that you reviw the following:

Nephilim are Giant offspring due to irruption by fallen angels

It's from a Ugaritic tablet. Reference KTU 1.161 or alternatively RS 34.126. I'll see if I can find a full text online.

I can't find a simple way to link you too it. But you can find the full text at Academia.edu. It's free, you just have to make an account. I have been using it for a while, it's a great source of scholarly material on various things. Amar Annus "are there Greek Rephaim" is a really good one to check out.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

I have never seen one. The Masoretic texts tend to make the giants to be massive, but according to the Septuagint Goliath only had 4 inches on me. If you follow the Septuagints heights they were giants relative to the height of ancient man and you should be able to find one after some travel to a museum.

...Thats not to say large giants have not been reported. Just not seen publicly. If you look into Americas past you will find literally thousands of reports of enormously tall people, some accounts even derive from the Smithsonian. There is even a french scientific journal, La nature, that published a finding in the peer reviewed journal of a 10 foot tall man.

So you are 6' 5"? Lovely!

According to the Scriptures the following was the size of Og, king od Bashan:

"Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy that his sarcophagus was made of iron. Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide according to standard measure.) From Deut.3:11 [I believe - I will check it out]. Og was more than 11' tall according to the Scriptures.

Goliath was more than 9 feet tall.

What am I missing? Goliath was 6 cubics and a span. A cubic is one foot on each side, and a span is 9 inches, making him 6' 9".

Some manuscripts use the 18" to a cubic, but lower the amount to 4 cubics and a span. Span remained the same - 9 in.

Either way it is 6' 9"

Og's iron casket was 9' by 4'.

The bed length described here is a ceremonial length. The exact same bed length was found at Etemenanki. The bed was a nephilim bed but not by matter of length. In the case of Etemenanki it was for Marduk to descend and mate with a female priestess. For a male it was likely for Inanna, also known as the queen of heaven. Also known for being a purveyor of political authority through a sexual marriage ritual in the ceremonial bed.

(Etemenanki was almost certainly the tower of babel and this bed was right at the top according to Herodotus with a sleeping priestess. There is a lot of indication that Nimrod was trying to restore the Nephilim.)
