"There were giants in the earth in those days..."
                       Genesis 6:4
The Giants of
Scripture





























                 Were there human offspring of fallen angels?


As we recall from Untold Adam and Eve, there could have been angels
who fell just around the time of Adam. The reason: envy and jealousy.
The angels were to bow down to Adam, and serve under him. Some
groups wanted no part of that. Satan, I believe, was among one group of
these fallen angels. From the research, two or three distinct groups of
fallen angels seem to come up in ancient literature, again and again.

First, we have Satan and his group of strictly non-corporal angels (i.e. the
"sons of heaven"), who probably fell around the time of Adam. Second,
we have the group of angels known as the Nephilim (i.e. "strangers"),
who also fell around this time. Their physical make up seemed to be a lot
closer to human beings.

Upon their fall, and unlike Satan and his fallen brigade, the Nephilim were
much more able to take on human form. Their punishment was to live on
earth like anyone else, be subjected under Adam's authority, and serve him
in the workings of the Garden.

The third group of angelic beings would fall later on, a few hundred years
before Noah's flood. They, too, were close to humans in form, and would
fall in much the same way the Nephilim did.

After the fall of Adam and Eve, the Nephilim were no longer subjective to
Adam's authority. The serpent could have further seduced Eve, and even
mated with other women of the day. The serpent, of whom had many
names (e.g. Nachash, Azazel, or Amalek) could have helped propagate
individual groups (or nations) of people, one being known as the
(pre-flood) Amalekites. The Nephilim could have also picked up on this,
and began to mate with women, themselves.

Cain, another possible son of the serpent, began to have family of his own.
Beyond Cain, beyond these other sons of the serpent, there could have
been other groups of people in that day (as we see in Birds and Beasts)
who were known as the Chay (beasts) of the Field, The Owph (fowl) of
the Air, the Remes (creeping thing) that Creepeth, and the Bahemah.
These groups of people, after the fall, all lost their roles they might have
had in the Garden. They, even other Adamites, left off, and began to
follow their own pathways in this world. This also allowed them the
opportunity to mate with these fallen angels.


















Although, in the end, there was nothing wrong with groups of people
coming together, and having children, but mixing with these fallen angels
began to pose major problems. The Nephilim were endowed by God with
a great deal of previously unheard-of knowledge: herbalism, divination,
astrology, to name a few. They used this knowledge to seduce women into
fulfilling their own earthly, sexual desires. Many women of the day began
to be seduced by their overwhelming stature, charm, and knowledge, and
bartered this knowledge for their sexual exploitation. Many of the offspring
born to these cohabitations became known as the biblical "giants".

The sons of Cain (or Cainites) also began to mingle with other groups of
people, as well as these angels. What began a fairly simple and orderly
world was now becoming much more complex. The Nephilim used their
power and knowledge to increase their position over people, which, in
turn, allowed people to become very sinful in their ways.

Approximately 500 years after the creation of Adam, the Nephilim were
producing these hybrid offspring on a grand scale:


"First, they were called Nefilim, the fallen, at the time they were dropped
down from heaven. After they joined up with the females of human
kind and had children from them, the children were called Anakim."

                    The Zohar,
                    40 Shlach Lecha 10


This was echoed in Genesis:


Genesis (KJV)
6:1  "And it came to pass, when man began to multiply on the face of
the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
6:4  There were giants (Nephilim) on the earth in those days..."    


Intermingled in these confusing verses of Genesis we could have reference
to another group of individuals - bent on the same outcome as the
Nephilim. The Nephilim fell because they were jealous of Adam, and
wanted to bring him down as well. Almost 500 years after this happened,
the Watchers also began to crumble in their morality. The Watchers (as
mentioned in Daniel 4:13 and 17) were another group of large angels who  
apparently were left unscathed by the first fall of Adam. These, however,
were to succumb to the same fate as the Nephilim.

The Watchers (a.k.a. "Sleepless Angels") were assigned to "watch" over
mankind, and instruct them in good or wholesome ways of living. They
had the tasks of overseeing and assisting human beings in many of worldly
tasks and decisions. They eventually began to see, however, how sinful
mankind had become, because of the moral departure fueled by the
Nephilim. These angels, upon noticing it all, began to complain to God:


"And God said unto them... 'I created him (Adam) out of the dust... and I
will not make my handiwork a laughingstock for his enemies.' And those
angels said... 'knowest that we have reviled Adam.' And God answered
them on behalf of Adam... 'You have I created out of fire and air with the
one intent (that ye should) praise (Me). Him have I created of twice as
many elements as you - of dust and water, and of wind and fire... And if
his heart inciteth him to good, he walketh with good intent; and if the
devil seduceth him, he walketh with him on an evil path. As for you, ye
have no other object in your minds but praise of Me... And now, why do
ye magnify yourselves above Adam? If ye were as he is... ye would have
transgressed My commandment more than he hath done...' And the
angels said unto Him... 'we will not oppose Thy word; for we are
spiritual beings for life, and he is a creature of dust (doomed) to folly...'
And straightway there were given unto them... flesh, and blood, and a
heart of the children of men."

Apparently, the Watchers wanted to prove something to God. They
thought, with superior intellect, they would not have the weakness and
ignorance to do anything like those angelic predecessors. Even though they
descended to the earth quite often, and taught people upright and worthy
sentiments, they could not understand how worldly temptation would
change those who fell under it. When God did allow them to descend, they
would not fair much better.

This brings us to the second part of Genesis Six, which can be a most
confusing verse without the above information. If we include the above,
however, it does make sense:


Genesis (KJV)
6:2  "That the sons of God (the Watchers) saw the daughters of men
that they were fair, and took them wives of all they chose.
6:4  There were giants (the Nephilim) in the earth in those days (of the
Watcher's descent); and also after that (after the time of their
descent), when the sons of God (the Watchers) came into the
daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same
(children of the Watchers) became the mighty men which were
of old (or, from these angels who were of old), men of renown (or, men
who 'made a name for themselves')."


Even the Watchers blew it! Instead of showing God that they could handle
the world, they fell from grace, just like the Nephilim. That is one reason
why they were lumped together with the Nephilim in these verses.

They fell to the temptations of these women, just like the Nephilim did,
and also bore children to them. They also taught women even more of
these previously-forbidden tidbits of knowledge. Immorality was
everywhere, thanks to the sacrilegious and indecent behaviors of these
groups of fallen angels.

The descendants of the Nephilim and Watchers were called "giants"
because they were indeed, thus. The hybrid offspring of the Nephilim were
up to nine feet tall, those of the Watchers up to fourteen. These
human-angelic unions produced other strange and, ultimately,
compromising genetic possibilities. Among them, offspring who had a
brilliant, "angelic-like" countenance (in their outward appearance), as well
as six fingers and toes.























As ancient texts provide, the reason for the large stature of these offspring
could have been because some of the early human beings (such as Adam)
were created with a lot of the same attributes as angels: a brilliant
countenance and larger bodily structure. This was a sign of quality, a
closeness to God. After their fall, Adam, Eve and those who possessed
these qualities were reduced in size, and began to lose their angelic-like
countenances over the generations.

The angels, however, were also endowed with a lot of this same genetics
make-up, even after their fall. When they created human-angelic offspring,
their descendants retained a lot of these angelic qualities.

Along with physical attributes, mental attributes seemed to have been
passed down - psychic abilities, similar thoughts and attitudes of these
angels, etc. As we recall from Untold Adam and Eve, there was a
prophecy made by God:


"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise
his heel."

               Genesis 3:15 KJV


Many of these offspring began to have hate, or enmity, towards God and
his followers, just like the fallen angels did.

There was more: the Nephilim and Watchers were now in the same "boat"
as Satan: they all lost their authority in the angelic realm because of Adam
(or, because of their jealously of him), and became condemned to live out
there rest of their lives at mortal beings. Their reward was given to them in
this world, already. This did have some power over people; they were
allowed to mate with women, but had no other chance for redemption
now. They were also well aware of the above prophecy, and that a
"savior" would eventually begin to put an end to their domination.

Perhaps, they thought, since they already made Adam fall, they could
destroy the chances of Adam's seed to produce the "promised one" of
Genesis 3:15 - that might be able to allow them to avoid their own
judgment, in their own minds.

Maybe, if they could compromise this prophecy, if they could insert their
seed into any and every woman around, the "crusher" of the serpent's
head (who would be Jesus Christ) would never be born. The prophecy of
God would, ultimately, not be fulfilled.

Now, they had another reason to sexually infiltrate the world with angelic
sperm! What did they have to lose, besides everything they had already
lost? God, however, would not go down that easily.

God then told everyone who really cared about following His laws that
there would be a flood, a flood to punish those causing this infiltration to
take place. There would soon be a way out for this seed of Adam. This
would preserve the seed unto the time when another person of the pure
blood of Adam to deliver the Christ child.

God, the merciful God He was, gave everyone of the day a chance for
repentance, not only of Adamic seed, but probably other groups of pious
individuals. He did not want anyone to go down, but there must be
punishment for wrong-doing. God probably tried to show the disobedient
horrible signs and wonders, so they would understand, for sure, that He
wasn't kidding:


"... and God did this mighty act, in order to terrify the sons of men, that
there might be nor more evil upon the earth. And still the sons of men
would not return from their evil ways, and they increased the anger
of the Lord as that time, and did not even direct their hearts to all this."

                The Book of Jasher 6:11-12


Obviously, temptation was everywhere, immorality was rampart, and the
people didn't even care. These angelic-human offspring made it hard for
anyone else trying to live a pure, descent life to stay this way. The world
was almost completely swallowed up in offspring who had blood of these
angels, and their ways.

There were a few, however, who tried to remain moral. They tried to keep
physically pure, because they knew, for Christ's sake, they had to keep it
that way. They wanted the promised seed of Adam and Eve to be born.

There is a great deal more about this in The Rise of Mystery Babylon,
which goes into detail about how life was lived back then, and why things
became so drastic in Noah's day that a flood had to take place. We will
see, in Other Flood Survivors, what happened next.
