| Plan B: The Second Coming Of The Nephilim |
|
After the Lord had disposed of this Satanic plot to destroy the seed of mankind with the hybrid Nephilim by means of a world wide flood he then promised Noah and all mankind that never again would he destroy the earth with water. “Never again will life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come; I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”78
So God made a cool covenant with all generations to come that he would not destroy the earth again with a flood and our sign of this covenant is the rainbow! Pretty cool. Unfortunately Satan saw that God made this promise. This must have been really big news to Satan and his minions. After all, they were within the last eight people on earth from destroying God’s plan of sending the kinsman redeemer, Jesus Christ to die for the sins of the world. Down to the very last eight when God stepped in and saved his plan by the means of the flood, now here we have God pronouncing this covenant where he would never destroy the earth with a flood again. Ah ha! If the only way Satan’s plan was thwarted was the flood, and now we have this promise of never a flood again then what is to stop Satan with another Nephilim plan?
Our first evidence of this comes from Genesis 6:4 “The Nephilim were in the earth in those days—and also afterward…” The key phrase here is the “…and also afterward…” The Nephilim were in the earth in those days of Noah and the event of the flood …and also afterward… So God is telling us that the Nephilim were not only in the earth at the time of the flood but also sometime after that. Now let’s jump ahead a considerable amount of time to the Israelites who have come out of their slavery in Egypt crossed over the Red sea and have come to the border of the promised land. The promised land of course is the land of Israel that God had promised to Abraham and his descendants way back when Abraham offered Isaac his only son as a sacrifice on the very spot where two thousand years later another only son “Jesus” would be sacrificed for the sins of the world. This is known as a “Type of Jesus” sort of a dress rehearsal you might say. It was done to show what would come two thousand years later when the true sacrifice would take place. God stopped Abraham before he carried out the sacrifice of Isaac and then promised him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the sea shore, and that his descendents will take possession of the cites of their enemies.79
This is the Promised Land, which had been talked about and handed down from generation to generation since Abraham. The expectation for it was very great because everyone knew that God had taken them out of Egypt to deliver to them the long awaited Promised Land. So now we jump back to the plan of Satan, who knows that God intends to deliver the Israelites to the promised land, he also knows from Bible prophesy the promised kinsman redeemer “Jesus” would come from the promised land and a town there named Bethlehem. “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”80
Satan came up with a plan to stop the Israelites from taking possession of this Promised Land and thereby stopping the arrival of the promised kinsman redeemer that would instantly end the perfect plan of God for mankind and Satan would have been victorious over God. What was this plan? This plan was to fill the Promised Land full of giants. Similar to the first plan at the flood only instead of filling the entire earth full of the Nephilim only the Promised Land was filled. Also the number of years to accomplish the filling of the land was around 500 whereas beforehand there were around 1200 to 1800 years for the first Nephilim of the flood to develop.
The first evidence that this was the plan of Satan comes from Numbers 13:26-28. The Israelites have now come out of Egypt and are poised to enter the Promised Land. Moses chooses and then sends in 12 spies to check out the land and to see the peoples who inhabited the land. After the spies had returned we get this report. “They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cites are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.”
Understand that it was well known to the Israelites who the descendants of Anak were. It had been handed down for hundreds of years the account of the times of Noah and the events of the flood. Shem, one of Noah’s three sons was a direct ancestor of Abraham, from Abraham came Isaac and from Isaac came Jacob. It was Jacob and his family who first entered Egypt because of a great famine. It was very well understood that to be a descendant of Anak meant you were one of the feared Nephilim. This was a shocking development. “We even saw descendants of Anak there!” The Bible records that ten of these spies were so fearful of what they saw that they spread evil reports about the Promised Land throughout the camp. “And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 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.”81
That night after the spies had reported, the entire assembly of Israelites were afraid and wept aloud. Then they grumbled against Moses and Aaron and complained that a better fate would have been to die in Egypt or in the Desert. They wondered if God and Moses had led them to be killed in the Promised Land. They even wanted to choose a leader who would lead them back to Egypt! Then Joshua and Caleb the two spies with the good reports spoke up before the entire assembly: “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land; a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”82 Also in Deuteronomy 1:26-28 “You grumbled in your tents and said, “The Lord hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us. Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose heart. They say, “The people are stronger and taller then we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky, we even saw the Anakites there.” Then I said to you “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the desert. This valiant speech by the two great men of God apparently went unheard because directly after that the Bible records: “But the whole assembly talked about stoning them”83 God’s anger then burns because of the peoples unbelief even after all the miracles in Egypt and during the time in the desert. God basically tells Moses to stand back he is going to wipe out all these wicked and unbelieving people but Moses begged God to spare the people and so God spared them. But this is when God pronounces that this generation will not inherit the Promised Land but die in the desert, which is exactly what happened, all died except for the two spies with the good report. Satan’s plan was at this point working. After 40 years of wandering in the desert the last fighting man of that generation finally died. It is then that they entered the Promised Land this time ready to follow God and subdue the peoples of the land.
The Bible does not say how or by whom this second batch of Nephilim came. It only reports that they were in fact in the Promised Land at this time. We can only speculate on the possible means of this second hybrid occurrence. We know that the angels responsible for this first sin were thrown into the pit until the judgment of the great day because their sin was so great. Some speculate that to create these Nephilim a second time Satan and his minions used other means then actually taking for themselves wives in order to avoid such a swift punishment. Some suggest that perhaps a system of test tube engineering could have been used. As strange as this may sound there does seem to be evidence that points to just such a system which will be examined more closely in later chapters.
Now the Israelites are positioned on the border of the Promised Land a second time. All the former generation has now died and Joshua leads Israel. It is here that the Lord commands the Israelites to do something that is very harsh and has been a very difficult thing for many people to understand how this could possibly be true. The Lord commands the army to go in and subdue the land and to kill every single man, woman, and baby. It is very difficult to understand why the Lord is commanding his people to kill innocent babies. “When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebustites, seven nations larger and stronger then you—and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.”86
I understand the difficulty in hearing this and it seems like God is pronouncing an evil edict himself until it is understood that the people of this land are not ordinary people. They are the Nephilim, the second attempt to stop God’s perfect plan for the earth. They are literally the seed of Satan, hybrid giants. Also known as the Anakites, and the Raphaites. So God commanded them: “Hear, O Israel, you are now about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger then you, with large cities that have walls up to the sky. The people are strong and tall—Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: Who can stand up against the Anakites?” But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly as the Lord has promised you.”87
The Israelites after this pep talk from God were ready to fight! Even against the mighty giants of the land. Among the first battles is the fight against Sihon king of Heshbon. “When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz, the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army. At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them—men, women, and children. We left no survivors.”88 Next the Israelites came upon Og king of Bashan, Og you will see was a giant in the truest sense of the word. “We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salecah and Edreishan. (Only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaites. His bed was made of iron and was more then thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)”89
So Joshua and the Israelites continued throughout the land destroying all the Nephilim that were there. “At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir and Anab, from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns. No Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza, Gath and Ashdod did any survive. So Joshua took the entire land, just as the Lord had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal divisions. Then the land had rest.”90 It is interesting to note that the only Anakites to survive were in Gaza, Gath and Ashdod. These places were outside of the boundaries of the Promised Land. Later the Israelites run into a giant philistine from Gath who was known by the name of Goliath.
Most people have heard the story of David and Goliath. The important thing to remember is that not only was Goliath a giant. He was a descendent of the Anakites, a Nephilim, probably among the last few Nephilim in the world. Goliath was the champion of champions, a massive hunk of fighting hybrid evil. “A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing 125 pounds; on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed 15 pounds.”92 The boy David, who would later become the king of Israel slew the giant with a single stone and then cut off his head. Goliath, who was the champion of Satan was taunting and cursing God until a boy with a sling killed him. God often uses the small and weak to bring down the proud and mighty.
The mighty men of David slowly killed the remaining Nephilim. “ In the course of time, war broke out with the Philistines, at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sipai, one of the descendants of the Rephaites, and the Philistines were subjugated. In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod. In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. These were the descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.”93
This account with the six fingers is an interesting thing. It is said that the Sioux Indians had a peculiar custom that they would engage in whenever they happened upon a stranger. They would hold up their hand palm out like in a “stop” signal. This was done so they could count the fingers on the hand of the stranger. It is said that the Sioux feared the six fingered star people.
This rock painting was found in a cave in Australia. It is estimated at being at least 5,000 years old; it was painted by Australian Aborigine’s and is believed by some to be a representation of visiting aliens. Notice the hand in the painting, six fingers. I am not sure what to make of it but it is very provocative.
It is my belief that most of the Nephilim were not true giants. They were bulky and stocky and very strong but their height was generally around that of modern man except that their bodies would have been similar to a Mr. Universe. It is my belief that the greatest of the giants were the direct relatives of the angel human offspring. I think it is probable that as the genes of the first Nephilim became more thinned the people became smaller and smaller until you finally had a Nephilim about the height of a normal homo sapien. Of course he would still be stocky and strong only not as tall. If this were the case then Goliath would have been small compared to these first Nephilim of which the Bible speaks when it says “…They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”94 The second phase of the coming of the Nephilim had failed. The Israelites had captured the land God had promised to Abraham hundreds of years earlier and were setting up for the coming of the Son of God. God had once again foiled Satan’s plan.
