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. . .
