The Nephilim Pt. 4: On The Earth Before and After The Flood

The Nephilim are one of the most discussed beings in the Bible. They almost seem to appear out of nowhere, causing much speculation on their origins from both believers and nonbelievers. Though the popular belief is that the Nephilim were the offspring of angels and women, the Bible describes a much different origin. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and after those days. They were on the earth because they originally came from under the earth. If they came from under the earth, how did they get on the earth?

The Nephilim

The Biblical Account of the Nephilim

The Nephilim On The Earth Before The Flood

¹ When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, ²the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. ³Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” ⁴The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Genesis 6:1-4

The Nephilim On The Earth After The Flood

³⁰But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” ³¹Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” ³²So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. ³³And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

The Nephilim Pt. 3: The Origin of The Nephilim

The Nephilim are a mysterious group of giant beings in Scripture. They seem to just appear on the scene out of nowhere. Because of this, where they came from is often debated and argued throughout the Church and even in the world. In our previous videos, we explained that the belief that the Nephilim (the giants) came from the Sons of God (angels) and the daughters of men (human women) procreating together isn’t in the Bible. If giants didn’t come from angels and human women, then where did the Nephilim come from?

Genesis 6:1-4

²⁵At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land. ²⁶And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. ²⁸However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. ²⁹The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.”
³⁰But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” ³¹Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” ³²So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. ³³And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

The Nephilim Pt. 2: The Book of Enoch

The Nephilim is one of the most debated topics in the Church as well as outside the Church in the secular world. This topic is often accompanied by the Book of Enoch. More times than not, the Book of Enoch is used to explain the origin of the Nephilim, but is the Book of Enoch trustworthy? Does the Book of Enoch contradict the Bible, or was the Book of Enoch taken out of the Bible?

And they took as their wives any they chose. ³Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” ⁴The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Genesis 6:1-4

The Biblical account of the Nephilim is a much different picture than that of the pseudepigraphical Book of Enoch. The Biblical account of the Nephilim is that of fear and terror, whereas the Book of Enoch describes them as great, mighty men, men of renown.

The Sons of God Pt. 1: Who Are They?

Whenever giants or the Nephilim are mentioned, more times than not, the Sons of God are brought up in the same breath. This is all because of what some have named, The Genesis 6 Experiment. Genesis 6:1-4 explains that the Sons of God came down and reproduced with the daughters of man. Many believe that these Sons of God were angels, while others believe they were the righteous sons of Seth. But is it even possible for angels to have sex with women? Can angels even take human form? Aren’t angels terrifying beings? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture to understand who the Sons of God were in Genesis 6 in her video, The Sons of God Pt. 1: Who Are They?

Who Are The Sons of God?

The Genesis 6 Experiment

¹ When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, ²the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. ³Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” ⁴The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Genesis 6:1-4

In Genesis 6, the author doesn’t write that the Sons of God and the daughters of man had sex and conceived the Nephilim. It simply said that during the time the Sons of God were sleeping with the daughters of man, the Nephilim were on the earth as well. Oh, and also they were on the earth after that as well.

The New Testament Account

⁴For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into [Tartarus] and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; ⁵if He did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; ⁶if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes He condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; ⁷and if He rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked ⁸(for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); ⁹then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, ¹⁰and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.
2 Peter 2:4-10

Peter explains that there are angels who sinned and are now still in chains of gloomy darkness in Tartarus, until Judgment Day. These angels are the same beings as the Sons of God recorded in Genesis 6:1-4.

The Nephilim Pt. 1: The Sons of God and The Nephilim

Genesis 6 describes an incident between mankind and celestial beings that we have called the first incursion. The Bible records that the Sons of God had children with the daughters of man; it then goes on to explain that the Nephilim were on the earth in those days and after. So, that then begs the question, who are the Nephilim? Are the Nephilim the offspring of women and angels? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through Scripture for answers to these questions and more about the mysterious giants of old in his video, The Nephilim Pt. 1: The Sons of God and The Nephilim.

The Sons of God and The Nephilim

The Nephilim (giants) didn’t come from the Sons of God (angels) and women because they were on the earth before the flood and long after the flood.

¹ When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, ²the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. ³Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” ⁴The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Genesis 6:1-4

³²So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. ³³And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”
