5 -  The situation now :

The last biblical reference to the giants, I believe, is Isaiah 45:14, where the Lord says to Israel that: “the tall men of Seba will be your slaves”. I have not been able to find more mention in the bible after this.

At this moment there are no more Giants, but other weapons are used by Satan to force Israel out of their country. This is being done, again by Satan, for the same reason as before with the Nephilim. We now see tanks used as the weapon to have come in the place the Nephilim.

A series of wars between Israeli and various Arab forces took place during recent decades, most notably in 1948–49, 1956, 1967, 1973, and 1982.

Also here we see the same strategy used by Satan to not let the Israelites live in their country, especially in Jerusalem. Israel now is surrounded by countries which are hostile to them and who all have one goal, which is to expel the Israelites from their country (See Psalm 83:4 ... “Come,” they say, “let us destroy their nation, so that Israel will be forgotten forever.”) .... But the Israelites are no more going to be expelled from the country where they are now, and above all they will stay in Jerusalem, where Jesus will return “among his people”. (See Amos 9: 14.15: “I will bring my people back to their land. They will rebuild their ruined cities and live there; they will plant vineyards and drink the wine; they will plant gardens and eat what they grow. I will plant my people on the land I gave them, and they will not be pulled up again, says the Lord God “) .

As a consequence, Jerusalem will be the world's most discussed, contentious and controversial city. There are many prophecies in the Bible that talk about this, but this is beyond the scope of this blog and is therefore not discussed here.

6 - Conclusions      

The above has been written to be of help in answering questions that may arise on the subject of the Nephilim. Questions normally asked relate to:

- Where do they come from?

- What do they really want?

- To what are they capable?

- Why did God command to kill everyone related to them?

- The reason for their existence before and after the flood.

No more Nephilim are born any more now, because the satanic reason for their existence in the past does not exist anymore since other means are being used now. However the battle, organized by Satan, to destroy God’s plan with this world, and whereby Israel plays a key role, is still going on. This battle will continue until is fulfilled what it says in Revelation 20 verse 10: “Then the Devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever”.

Continuation of 4, - Events after the flood

As was the case with a number of the kings of Israel, also Joshua had the mission to kill the Nephilim, but he failed to kill all of them. See Joshua 11 verses 21 and 22, "... At this time Joshua went and destroyed the race of giants called the Anakim who lived in the hill country—in Hebron, Debir, Anab, and in all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua completely destroyed them and their cities. 22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of Israel; a few, however, were left in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod”....Those are precisely the places where Israel now has problems with their neighbors who are attacking them exactly from the same areas as where Joshua failed to kill the giants! ! !

 (Seeing this we can better understand why God orders Saul to kill all the Amalekites... See 1 Samuel 13 verse 3: “Go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Don't leave a thing; kill all the men, women, children, and babies; the cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys”…. This is because there were Giants, Nephilim, among them.)

When God had revealed to Abraham that Canaan would be given to him and his children, Satan had over 400 years to introduce the Nephilim in the country. And that is exactly what he did. (The time between Abraham and Moses is approximately 400 years)

When Moses sent his twelve spies to explore the land of Canaan they returned and reported that giants lived in the land of Canaan. See Numbers 13 verse 28 and 32: “we saw the descendants of the giants there. Amalekites live in the southern part of the land; Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and Canaanites live by the Mediterranean Sea and along the Jordan River.... We also saw the giants , the descendants of Anak . Beside we felt like grasshoppers , and so we watched them too ..….Everyone we saw was very tall,   and we even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. We felt as small as grasshoppers, and that is how we must have looked to them.”. 

The fear of those terrifying creatures had as result that the Israelites were forced to wander in the wilderness for 38 years.

When Joshua and the nation of Israel later on entered the land of Canaan , God instructed them to kill every man, woman and child of a number of tribes . See the texts, - not copied here- , in the following verses: Joshua 6:21 , 9:24 , 10:28, 39 , 11:24, Deuteronomy 2:34 , 7:02 , 3; 20:16-17 . 1 Sam 15:03 , 8, 18, ​​19 , Ps 137:8 , 9) .

….Apparently there was an invasion of giants in the land of Canaan. We can clearly recognize here the strategy of Satan which was, and always will be, to obstruct the entrance and existence of the people of Israel in their country, and with that to destroy Gods plan with this world. . . 

4 - Events after the flood

With regards to the Nephilim, Genesis 6 verse 4 also includes the allusive phrase: " ... and also after that .... ".  Apparently, the existence of the Nephilim was not limited only to the period before the flood.

We see in the Bible that also after the flood Nephilim appear in different areas specifically in Canaan.  We can read for example in the bible about the giant races that lived there.

We may be surprised when we see how often texts appear talking about the activities of giants as if their existence were an accepted element in the life of the people of Canaan…. For example we read in 2 Samuel 21 verses 15 to 22:”There was another war between the Philistines and Israel, and David and his men went and fought the Philistines. During one of the battles David grew tired.  A giant named Ishbibenob, who was carrying a bronze spear that weighed about seven and a half pounds and who was wearing a new sword, thought he could kill David.   But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David's help, attacked the giant, and killed him. Then David's men made David promise that he would never again go out with them to battle. “You are the hope of Israel, and we don't want to lose you,” they said. After this there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, during which Sibbecai from Hushah killed a giant named Saph.

 There was another battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair from Bethlehem killed Goliath from Gath, whose spear had a shaft as thick as the bar on a weaver's loom.

Then there was another battle at Gath, where there was a giant who loved to fight. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He defied the Israelites, and Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shammah, killed him. These four were descendants of the giants of Gath, and they were killed by David and his men”   

It is amazing to see how often giants appear in the time of David, exactly at the moment that David was establishing the people of Israel in their country as a strong nation.  This can be understood, because it was very important for Satan to avoid that Israel would settle and get a place in the land, promised by God to Abraham. This was to avoid that once the Messiah would come into this world and live amongst his people Israel, as prophesized earlier.

 Here below follow a number of references to Nephilim. They are given here to get a better understanding of the extent of their penetration in the world surrounding Israel: 

There were tribes, such as the Emim, who were giants. We can read about them in Deuteronomy 2 verses10-11: " A mighty race of giants called the Emim used to live in Ar. They were as tall as the Anakim, another race of giants. 11 Like the Anakim they were also known as Rephaim; but the Moabites called them Emim”. Also is there the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, in the " land of giants . " See Deut.3 verse 11, mentioned before. Sometime later we read about Arba, see Joshua 14:12 an 15 . "…….We told you then that the race of giants called the Anakim were there in large walled cities…….. Before this, Hebron was called the city of Arba. (Arba had been the greatest of the Anakim)….. 

In 1 Samuel 17 verse 4: “A man named Goliath, from the city of Gath, came out from the Philistine camp to challenge the Israelites. He was over nine feet tall. He had four brothers of the same height”…. We all know that David killed Goliath. ….Here, and in other cases mentioned in the bible, we see how God used David, amongst others, to kill the Nephilim . 

Continuation of Chapter 3 - Who were the Nephilim ?

According to Hebrew writings and other apocryphal books (such as the book of Enoch), the Nephilim were a race of giants and super - heroes, who committed acts of great evil. Their great size and power seemed to come from the mixture of their demonic DNA and human genetics. All the Bible says directly about them is that they were “mighty men which were of old, men of renown". (Genesis 6 verse 4) The Nephilim were not aliens, as many people often think, they were literally physical beings produced by the union of the “sons of God” (fallen angels) and daughters of men. 

The Nephilim were one of the main reasons for the great flood in Noah's time . Immediately after the Nephilim are mentioned, the word of God tells us that, " When the Lord saw how wicked everyone on earth was and how evil their thoughts were all the time, he was sorry that he had ever made them and put them on the earth. He was so filled with regret that he said, “I will wipe out these people I have created, and also the animals and the birds, because I am sorry that I made any of them.”(Genesis 6 verses 5-7) So God proceeded to flood the world, killing all and everyone, including the race of giants, saving only Noah and his family, and the animals within the ark (Genesis 6:11-22).

The bible tells us that “Noah had no faults and was the only good man of his time.”…in other words, Noah was not contaminated with the DNA of the Nephilim.

Related to the fact that Angels had relations with human woman, it is interesting to note a text of the book of Job, the oldest book of the bible:

This book is written by the patriarch Job, who lived close to the time of the flood, thus the references to angels reflect this. There is a passage that states directly that certain angels were indeed involved in illicit relations with human women. It occurs when Eliphas, one of Job’s three friends who are trying to encourage him over the loss of his family, shares a Divine vision he had:

 We read in Job 4 verses 13 -18: “Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little 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.  Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:  It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,  Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his maker?  Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly”.

The word “folly” in the Old Testament is used to describe sexual sin.

We can see that also in other places such as in Genesis 34: 7 (“because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter”) and also in 2 Samuel 13 verse 12 (“And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly”).

These and other passages in the bible give us more and more the guarantee that the giants (nephilim) were indeed beings, produced by the union of the “sons of God”, (fallen angels), and daughters of men. They have no relation whatever with the so-called “aliens”, that many people wrongly believe, are visiting us from outer space.

3 - Who were the Nephilim ?

The Nephilim were a race that came to dominate already since the antediluvian (pre-flood) world, and are referred to in the Bible as the heroes of old, men of renown. They were reportedly the children born to the "Sons of God" by the "daughters of men", and are described as giants. It is also important to note that they are mentioned almost simultaneous to God's statement that He would destroy the earth by flood, and it seems from this association that their effect upon mankind was one of the primary justifications for their destruction, whether it be by the flood or in battle.

In the Greek Septuagint the word "nephilim" was also translated as "gigantes" (gigantic). This translation is undoubtedly used because the Nephilim later became known as giants to the ancient Hebrews, as illustrated by the manner in which they were referenced to when the Israelite spies were sent into Canaan (See Numbers 13 verse 33, mentioned before).

We may wonder what could be the meaning or significance of the existence of the nephilim.  The Bible gives us clear indications in which direction we have to look for the answer:

The “sons of God”, were actually fallen angels, as explained in chapter 2.1 before. They were really demons, evil and twisted beings. Nothing they do should surprise us.

The only possible answer to the question of what their intentions were is that they were trying to contaminate the blood of the human race, with the final purpose to prevent the coming of the Messiah - Jesus Christ. God had promised that the Messiah would come from the lineage of Eve and would crush the serpent's head - Satan. (See Genesis 3 verses 14 and 15: ”You will be punished for this; you alone of all the animals must bear this curse: From now on you will crawl on your belly, and you will have to eat dust as long as you live.   I will make you and the woman hate each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies. Her offspring will crush your head, and you will bite her offspring’s heel”.)   The demons tried to prevent this, contaminating the blood of the human race, thus making it impossible that one day the Messiah would be born, pure and without sin. All this is in complete agreement with everything the Bible teaches.

Throughout their existence we see that the nephilim were always present when there was an opportunity for them to destroy Israel, or to prevent them from establishing themselves. (See for example the story of Goliath, and Numbers 13 verse 22: “They went first into the southern part of the land and came to Hebron, where the clans of Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of a race of giants called the Anakim, lived”.)

Thinking about this “race of giants”, it makes us compare it with Hannibal of Carthage who also used “giants”, - in his case elephants-, to combat the Romans.

Indeed, the giants that lived in and around Palestine, at the time when the Israelites were to take possession of the land, were a strong force (prepared by Satan) they had to overcome.
