How did Nephilim make a comeback after the flood?

Does not matter if the gentiles were on the Earth, God wants to keep the Hebrews pure. We are told in Rev that He has kept 144,000 pure 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes.

Nephilim are mentioned twice in the Bible. The first time was in Genesis 6:


Presumably, they were extinguished in Genesis 7:

except for Noah and his family. So then all humans after the flood had access to that same DNA element

Indeed - genetic lineage from their ancestor - in this case Noah's descendants.

No text says that such a thing caused the existence of Nephilim who were on Earth BEFORE That time according to Gen 6.


4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

The mixed marriages came about AFTER the time when Nephilim were on Earth -- since all humans were Nephilim pre-flood and "were on Earth " in those pre-flood days -- and continued to be on Earth even AFTER the mixed marriages.

Noah was also himself "large human" so no wonder we find Nephilim on the Earth AFTER the flood -- Noah was Nephilim.


only Noah and his 7 other family members cross over from pre-flood to post-flood and scripture says there were Nephilim before the flood and afterwards. Noah and his family of 8 are the only humans to cross over - so Noah and his family were Nephilim. That is how biology works.


1. All Bible scholars admit that the Bible teaches that only Noah and his family get on the boat.
2. Most Bible scholars admit that the Bible teaches that the only link between preflood humans and post-flood humans is Noah's family.
3. All Bible scholars admit that the Bible describes Nephilim as existing both before the flood and afterwards.

Gen 6:4 says this -- as all Bible scholars know
Gen 6:4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

All Bible scholars admit to these texts being in the actual Bible

KJV –
John 1: 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his nam
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Luke 20:36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Galatians 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.


Matthew Henry - Gen 6:2

• 2. Mixed marriages (v. 2): The sons of God (that is, the professors of religion, who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name), married the daughters of men, that is, those that were profane, and strangers to God and godliness. The posterity of Seth did not keep by themselves, as they ought to have done, both for the preservation of their own purity and in detestation of the apostasy. They intermingled themselves with the excommunicated race of Cain: They took them wives of all that they chose.But what was amiss in these marriages?
  • (1.) They chose only by the eye: They saw that they were fair, which was all they looked at.
  • (2.) They followed the choice which their own corrupt affections made: they took all that they chose, without advice and consideration. But,
  • (3.) That which proved of such bad consequence to them was that they married strange wives, were unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Co. 6:14. This was forbidden to Israel, Deu. 7:3, 4. It was the unhappy occasion of Solomon's apostasy (1 Ki. 11:1-4), and was of bad consequence to the Jews after their return out of Babylon, Ezra 9:1, 2. Note, Professors of religion, in marrying both themselves and their children, should make conscience of keeping within the bounds of profession. The bad will sooner debauch the good than the good reform the bad. Those that profess themselves the children of God must not marry without his consent, which they have not if they join in affinity with his enemies.

Commentary by ROBERT JAMIESON

CHAPTER 6

Gen 6:1-22. WICKEDNESS OF THE WORLD.

2. the sons of God saw the daughters of men--By the former is meant the family of Seth, who were professedly religious; by the latter, the descendants of apostate Cain. Mixed marriages between parties of opposite principles and practice were necessarily sources of extensive corruption. The women, religious themselves, would as wives and mothers exert an influence fatal to the existence of religion in their household, and consequently the people of that later age sank to the lowest depravity.

If someone trusts in Jesus, no presuming false fairy tales propagated by real or phony Christians and many other religions and non-religious.

Finally, why when the Hebrews eventually conquered and entered the land, there is no mention of nephilim

No mention until when some modern time fairy tale(s) pop up again and again and again to continually try to trick people, and often succeed in deceiving people.

However, without further information from the text, it is impossible to provide a definitive answer. The existence and origin of the Nephilim remain a subject of debate among biblical scholars and interpreters.

Sufficient is it to believe and follow Jesus, and ignore vain theories and fairy tales.
Truth revealed to those seeking YHVH does not require any such vaid debates base on what is falsely called knowledge - especially AVOID what is by so-called "biblical scholars" or interpreters or experts.

..... thank you. Also, never angels.... and it is impossible for angels to marry women . But the enemy loves playing with words and with fallen ones (deceiving men).

Agreed. Hence, why I am on less of these posts by Mr. Chan.

Most posts are unscriptural in this upside down topsy turvey world we live in. (I don't know any of Chan's posts, ideas, topics, or other.)

A few people are honestly seeking truth, but only a few over all are honest. It costs too much to be honest, they think (as if the whole world was worth the soul).....

Agreed. Wanna know why not everyone is honest? Cos, people are afraid to hurt others when telling the truth. The truth hurts sometimes, as Proverbs says.

Proverbs 27:5-6 (ESV): "Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy."

Five Passages - Bible analysis on Truth

Hello folks. Sometimes the truth hurts. Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 4:29, and three different passages from Proverbs tell us that receiving truth may sting, or even hurt for a while, but will better ourselves in the Christian journey. This is a companion analysis, about lies: Ephesians 4:25 &...

I think people are afraid of being rejected if they tell the truth, especially truth to power.
And they will be rejected if they tell Truth. Just as Jesus is/was.

Yep. I sometimes can not say certain things, because we live in a world where we can not say certain things. For instance, I can not talk with people about how my favorite childhood show, Doctor Who went totally left-field (and woke) in 2024.

No nephilim has never meant angels, sons of God can and has meant angels.

Speaking truth comes easy, but bucking 1700 years of tradition and those indoctrinated to defend it, does not.

Have you been able to determine, or rather has God Revealed, the source of chans indoctrination/ endless topics and posts ? It is like or the impression I get is that some group or a world wide group pays or encourages him to post continually many topics to win as manypeople over to their side (the wrong side) as possible ?? Or , hoping for the best, some other motive ? Yet to be revealed.
