A Giant discovery Read Numbers 13 and 14. Arguments: The land (Canaan's) fruit (condition / result) - flows of milk and honey. People are of great size, mighty and strong (some are even Giants). “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."»
Numbers 13:33 NIV NKJV version: “There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”» Next chapter: Joshua, who was scouting the land, calls it "a very good land." -Numbers 14:7 (…) "And then I (the Lord) will make you the people who are greater and stronger than they." ---Numbers 14:12 Is "great size and strength and even Giants" recognized as something positive or negative? Definitely positive.
" So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.…»
Numbers 14: 36-37 They turned a clear GOOD report on the state of affairs into something NEGATIVE. They turned the truth upside down. This is a clear "Thus sayeth the Lord". Nephilim arguments and biblical explanation
Arguments against the deception of the theory of the Nephilim, which by the general view is characterized as offspring of demons and humanbeings:
"God's people", "children of God," "sons of God". Who do you think these titles refer to? Creatures that belong to God, be it humans or angels. So how do some people manage to use one of these titles, namely "sons of God" to suddenly be about exactly that group of creatures that were cast out of heaven and permanently fallen who no longer under any circumstances can further be called for "sons of God", namely demons (the fallen angels). But that is precisely what they do all those preaching one of the greatest deceptions in the end times: Nephilim. The Nephilim is supposedly an offspring, according to them, which supposedly should come from a union of demons and humans. I have written about this a few times before, about how unbiblical the Book of Enoch is, a book that does not have its authorship in the biblical Enoch. This is predominantly the root dource of these ideas. In this case, it was therefore the sons of God, the descendants of Seth, who took the wives of the descendants of Cain (Sons of men).
Again, this Nephilim theory of demons intermingling with women (humans) whos offspring were called the Nephilim, were according to their source (Book of Enoch) which turns out not to be the Enoch of the Bible, were 300 cubits= 450 feet= 138 meter tall! Again, normal sized women had sex with demons and their offspring grew up to be the size of Noah's Ark or a football field! And their weight would be 37 000 tons! So according to Enoch there would have been 200 of these offspring the size of Noah's Ark and with a weight of 37 000 tons walking around on this earth at one point. Please explain to me how on earth such an absurd theory could suddenly become so popular? And they believe and claim that the offspring of these Nephilims still walk among us today. Christians who believe in the teaching of the fallen, that there were fallen angels intermingling with humans and their offspring were hybrids and unredeemable is extremely dangerous. Where do they get this teaching from? The book of Enoch more so than the Bible. That book has been exposed as being very contradictory to God's word and pure nonsense in many ways. I firmly beieve this to be a great deception, this teaching of there being fallen ones, a hybrid of fallen angels intermingling with humans. There were giants in those days, yes, but not 450 feet tall.
Adam and Eve lived until a thousand years of age, is it not logical that their stature was taller as well? This had to do with pure genes, the longevity and stature. Longevity is associated to this day with a taller stature.
I believe it was the children of disobedience, the descendents from Cain intermingling with the descendents of Set this verse is referring to. In any case, basing your interpretation on the book of Enoch is very dangerous and likely to lead to deceptive theories. That book is clearly unbiblical and meant to deceive.
Who were the sons of God and daughters of men? Certainly no fallen angel mixed with a human creating a hybrid. Angels can not procreate.
This quote by E.G White explains it well:
"For some time the two classes remained separate. The race of Cain, spreading from the place of their first settlement, dispersed over the plains and valleys where the children of Seth had dwelt; and the latter, in order to escape from their contaminating influence, withdrew to the mountains, and there made their home. So long as this separation continued, they maintained the worship of God in its purity. But in the lapse of time they ventured, little by little, to mingle with the inhabitants of the valleys. This association was productive of the worst results. “THE SONS OF GOD SAW THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN that they were fair.” (Genesis 6:2) The children of Seth, attracted by the beauty of the daughters of Cain's descendants, displeased the Lord by intermarrying with them. Many of the worshipers of God were beguiled into sin by the allurements that were now constantly before them, and they lost their peculiar, holy character. Mingling with the depraved, they became like them in spirit and in deeds; the restrictions of the seventh commandment were disregarded, “and they took them wives of all which they chose.”
This had to do with pure genes, the longevity and stature. Longevity is associated to this day with a taller stature. And if you mix a tiger with a lion, what is the result? A liger that is larger than the parents. I believe it was the children of disobedience, the descendents from Cain intermingling with the descendents of Set this verse is referring to. . Also if fallen angels could procreate, why would they be tempted by human women, when they are supposed to be far more beautiful and perfect than humans?
Another reason why it makes no sense, and that is if these angels were capable of procreation in the first place.
The word of God is pretty clear also here: “For in the resurrection they (humans) neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”-Matthew 22:30 This strongly suggest that angels are not created to have sex or procreate. In the Old Testament, the very act of having intercourse with someone meant they were now considered married. In the resurrection neither angels, or glorified humans, will be be able to have sex or produce offspring.
