In Greek mythology, the Muses were the goddesses responsible for the inspiration of literature, science and the arts. In Roman times, it was believed that if you were to write a song, story, poetry or other form of literature, you would be inspired by one or more of the Muses to do so according to these attributes:
Muse’s name | Sphere of influence |
Calliope | Epic poetry |
Clio | History |
Euterpe | Flutes and lyric poetry |
Thalia | Comedy and pastoral poetry |
Melpomene | Tragedy |
Terpsichore | Dance |
Erato | Love poetry |
Polyhymnia | Sacred poetry |
Urania | Astronomy |
Almost as if to set the record straight concerning the writing of Scripture however, the Apostle Paul told Timothy that it was Divinely inspired by God Himself.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16)
This is also confirmed by the Apostle Peter:
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:21)
Here we have both Biblical as well as pagan accounts that state that our inspiration comes from elsewhere. Is this always the case? Could it really be that human inspiration does indeed come from the spirit realm; some receiving inspiration from God, others from entities known as Muses, which are probably better known (at least in Biblical terms) as demons?
What I find most interesting about this idea is that if we go back to what I wrote in Book 1, Babylon Rising: And The First Shall Be Last concerning the identity of Apollo, we see that he is Nimrod, the lawless one, the man of sin, the Antichrist. According to Plato, Apollo is the leader of the Muses! According to the Bible, Jesus was the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us. Is it just a coincidence that Jesus is considered the “Word” of God? Could it be that there is a “word” of the devil too? At least in the minds of ancient men, it would seem so. And here again we see the principle of Christ vs Antichrist, but this time in terms of the origin — or “spirit”— of human inspiration.
In modern times, it is not uncommon for artists, musicians, writers and filmmakers to say that they were inspired by unseen forces. In fact, many openly admit to “channeling” entities in order to write songs, scripts, books and create other forms of art. If this is indeed true, we might do well to look at and listen to what “they” are saying through the artists, authors, poets, musicians and filmmakers of our day. Could it be that through the arts they are expressing their hopes and dreams — and plans — for the future? If so, that is certainly a sobering idea.
For instance, have you noticed how many movies and television shows are coming out these days depicting mutants and super-human hybrids saving the world? It seems like nearly every other month another superhero movie comes out, glorifying the “beneficial mutation” of that which God already declared perfect. Though ironically enough, these same “good” mutated superheroes always seem to be fighting mutated “bad” super-villains. This sends mixed signals to the audience. On the one hand, mutation can make you into a powerful good guy capable of saving humanity. On the other hand, mutation can also make you into an incredibly evil bad guy. This dichotomy is perhaps most notably revealed in the latest comic book-to-movie offering of The Amazing Spider-man.
In this movie [spoiler alert!], Dr. Curt Connors is a brilliant scientist who is missing part of his right arm. According to his fictional history, he was a gifted surgeon who enlisted in the U.S. Army. While in combat, his arm was injured in a blast that resulted in it having to be amputated from the elbow down. From that point on, he became obsessed with understanding the biological secrets of limb regeneration in lizards. Once he understood how that worked at the genetic level, he concocted a serum using lizard DNA and injected himself with it. The serum worked and his arm grew back. But there was an unforeseen side effect. He began to mutate into a large reptilian monster, known to Spider-man fans as The Lizard.
Along with his physical mutations, he (like Spider-man) gained new abilities. Now this once crippled scientist has:
- Superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, and durability.
- Telepathic control over reptiles, capable of bringing out nearby creatures’ primitive reptilian instincts.
- The ability to quickly heal from wounds.
- Hardened scale-like skin.
- Razor-sharp teeth and claws.
- Ability to leap vast distances.
- Ferocious hand-to-hand combat abilities.
- A 6 foot long tail capable of shattering concrete.
How interesting that according to ancient literature, the Nephilim were said to have had many of the same attributes, including (but not limited to):
- Superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, and durability.
- Telepathic mind-control and psychic abilities.
- The ability to heal (and possibly resurrect).
- Extreme intelligence; being well acquainted with all forms of science such as astronomy, biology, molecular engineering and architecture.
- The forbidden knowledge of “smiting spirits” and the killing of embryos in the womb (abortion).
- Ferocious hand-to-hand combat abilities.
- 6 fingers and toes and double rows of teeth.
That sounds like your typical comic book super-villain doesn’t it?
Going back to The Amazing Spider-man, what interested me the most about the way Dr. Conners was depicted in the movie is the fact that almost immediately after he injected himself with the DNA of another creature, he went from being a friendly, altruistic, humanitarian scientist, to becoming a giant, viciously evil monster. Is that what happened to Nimrod in Genesis 10:8,9? Or perhaps even more sobering, could something like that have been what caused Genesis 6:5?
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)
What else could cause men to have only evil continually in their hearts and minds?
As I was doing my research for the Archon Invasion And The Return of the Nephilim Parts 1 & 2 DVD presentations(which are both based on the content of this book), I began to see a pattern, which was perfectly illustrated by the titles of two books that were sitting on my desk arranged in this order: Corrupting the Image by Douglas Hamp on the left and Forbidden Gates by Tom and Nita Horn on the right. Looking at the two books sitting together side-by-side like that, I thought to myself, “Wow. There it is! Corrupting the Image leads to opening Forbidden Gates, which ultimately produces something God never intended to exist: Nephilim.”
With that idea in mind, I began to speculate that Nephilim may simply be that which has become corrupted from the image God originally created. In other words, when we mix “kinds” that were never meant to be mixed, it appears that we open up “forbidden gates” or portals through which something other than the God-given soul (or nephesh) meant for a creature may enter and indwell the resulting hybrid. It then becomes essentially “fallen” from its previously created “perfect” state, and thus it is far more susceptible to being predisposed to evil. Seeing what happened to Dr. Conners in The Amazing Spider-man only reinforced that belief.
Of course, I am not basing my entire thesis on Marvel comic book characters and movies. But I do find it very interesting that the concepts being portrayed in these fictional stories seem to align quite well with what ancient Hebrew texts have to say concerning the days of Noah. Could it be that the same entities who died in the Flood are now providing the inspiration for stories that may illustrate their return?
Contrary to what many scholars believe and teach concerning the Nephilim, the Hebrew texts (including those of canonized Scripture) do not support the idea of multiple incursions, but rather that the return of the Nephilim actually came about through other means, such as through the mixture of animals and humans. Indeed, the ancient texts testify that the days of Noah had more to do with transhumanism than angels having sex with human women (which happened in the days of his great, great grandfather, Jared). Along similar lines, have you been watching the news lately? In fulfillment of the prophecy Jesus gave in Matthew 24:37, every year we are hearing more and more about the creation of animal-human hybrids , which is exactly what was going on in the days of Noah.
Just like the fictional Dr. Conners, many real life scientists support the practice of mixing species as a way of curing the many sicknesses, diseases and crippling ailments that plague mankind. But when you add the fact that transhumanists like doctors Kevin Warwick, Nick Bostrom, Hugo de Garis and Michio Kaku among others are actively promoting the idea of “becoming like the gods” by mixing humanity with both animals and machines, you quickly begin to see that there may be ulterior motives for such practices. This is nothing new. As you have seen in this series of blogs, it all happened before and it didn’t end well for those who participated in such activity.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:37)
Could the same thing that happened in the days of Noah, happen again in our day? If we are to take Jesus' words literally, I believe the answer is a resounding YES!
I’m not stating the following as absolute fact. This is just my opinion - a theory I have developed as a result of my research. As with any theory, it must be tested, peer reviewed and validated before being declared something other than just a theory. I am simply presenting my findings here for your consideration. It is my hope that you will test my “facts” and do your own research in order to discover the truth for yourself.
There can be no doubt about it, the giants of the Bible and of ancient folklore, myth and legend were real. They walked this earth. They built megalithic structures and cities all over the planet. They left many things behind that testify to the truth of their wisdom, knowledge and powerful abilities. They were the offspring of fallen angels and human women. According to the ancient texts, the first generation were completely destroyed within 500 years of their births. Then the giants returned. The question is, how?
Let’s find out together.
Occam's Razor (or Ockham's razor):
a principle that generally recommends, when faced with competing hypotheses that are equal in other respects, selecting the one that makes the fewest new assumptions. |
So far, we have eliminated the notion of multiple incursions as a likely explanation for the return of the Nephilim before and after the Flood. In the last chapter, we learned about the cause of the corruption of all flesh which led to God having to destroy the whole world with the Flood. According to the synchronized, biblically-endorsed, extra-biblical texts, this corruption came about as a result of transhuman, genetic engineering. So what’s left? I believe the return of the Nephilim in the post-Flood world is directly related to their return in the pre-Flood world. In fact, they are genetically related. These genetics appear to have been passed along via three suspicious women, who I believe represent the best explanation for the presence of the post-Flood Nephilim. In my opinion, this belief requires the fewest new assumptions and has the most evidence going for it.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
I know many believe that it took Noah 120 years to build the ark, but I would like to point out that it was just a big box. Granted, it had three decks and lots of compartments within it, but do you really think it took Noah and sons that long to do build such a relatively simple structure? Jasher tells us it actually only took them five years.
And Noah rose up, and he made the ark, in the place where God had commanded him, and Noah did as God had ordered him. In his five hundred and ninety-fifth year Noah commenced to make the ark, and he made the ark in five years, as the Lord had commanded.(Jasher 5:33,34)
In Genesis 6:3, God announced that there would be 120 years left for men to repent. Thus, Noah preached for at least 115 of those years before God finally told him that it was time to start building the ark. Such a construction project likely drew a lot of attention, so naturally, Noah would have continued to preach as he worked.
With only five more years left to save those who were still tamim, Noah and his sons got busy and as we saw, according to Jasher it took them exactly five years to complete the project. After the work was done, one thing remained: Noah had to pick three wives for his three sons.
Then Noah took the three daughters of Eliakim, son of Methuselah, for wives for his sons, as the Lord had commanded Noah. And it was at that time Methuselah the son of Enoch died, nine hundred and sixty years old was he, at his death.(Jasher 5:35,36)
Here we see that the three wives were not chosen until after the ark was completed, roughly seven days before the Flood. Some may resist this as being unbiblical since Genesis doesn’t say that, so for the sake of argument, let’s look at what Genesis does say:
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. (Genesis 6:12-18)
Without making any assumptions, we see that there is a progression of events given in a specific order in Genesis, which is confirmed and elaborated on in the synchronized, biblically-endorsed, extra-biblical texts. If we are to assume Genesis is written in chronological order, following a linear progression of events, we see the same thing: Earth and all flesh becomes corrupted, violence fills the earth, God decides to destroy it, He gives the instructions for how to build the ark and finally, for the first time, the wives of Noah’s sons are mentioned. There is no mention of them prior and verse 18 follows verse 12, therefore the chronology given in Genesis is exactly the same as that given in Jasher. In the latter, there is no contradiction, only elaboration.
In showing how Genesis syncs up with the books of 1 Enoch, Jasher and Jubilees, it may be summarized as follows:
- Syncs with: 1 Enoch 6:1 – 7:2 and Jubilees 5:1 (see also recap of 7:21-23)
- Genesis 6:5-7 –> Shows how God feels about the resulting violence.Syncs with: 1 Enoch 7:3-6 and Jubilees 5:2-4
- Genesis 6:8-10 –> Reveal how Noah and his sons were genetically pure.Syncs with: Jasher 4:12-15 (see also Jasher 5:13-17) and Jubilees 5:5
- Genesis 6:11,12 –> Earth and all flesh becomes corrupted.Syncs with: Jasher 4:16-18 and Jubilees 5:19
- Genesis 6:13-17 –> God grows increasingly angry and tells Noah to build the ark and how to do it.Syncs with: Jasher 4:19-21 & 5:25-29 and Jubilees 5:21,22
- Genesis 6:18 –> First mention of the wives of Noah’s three sons.Syncs with: Jasher 5:32-36 (Noah chose the three wives just 7 days before the Flood!)
The text seems to show quite plainly that the wives were a late addition in the chronology and since they came after the corruption of “all flesh,” we have to acknowledge that Noah’s choices for wives must have been rather limited indeed. All things considered, I’d say he did a pretty good job.
How long of a time period are we talking about between Genesis 6:1 and verse 18? Well, let’s look at the pre-Flood timeline chart again. In Figure 14, we see that the Watchers came down in the days of Jared, which was at about 3550 BC. Then, 500 years later, the first generation Nephilim hybrids were destroyed and the Watchers were judged shortly thereafter. Enoch continued to preach for a short time and then he was raptured around 3015 BC — about 65 years prior to Noah’s birth, which was around 2950 BC.
Since the ancient Hebrew (extra-biblical) texts referred to a corruption of flesh beginning “in the latter days of Methusaleh” and Genesis says that Noah preached for 120 years, we’d probably be safe in saying that the following represents a pretty accurate timeline:
- Noah was found to be genetically pure (vs 8,9) - at least 120 years before the Flood.
- Noah had three genetically pure sons (vs 10) - 100 years before the Flood (Jasher 5:13-18 says that Noah took a wife when he was 498 years old and they had his sons a few years later when he was 500 - 502 years old - see also Genesis 5:32 for confirmation of that age).
- Violence and corruption erupts in the earth (vs 11) - sometime within the 100 years prior to the Flood.
- ALL flesh becomes corrupted (vs 12) - sometime within the 100 years prior to the Flood.
- God announces that He is going to destroy the world by Flood (vs 13) - sometime between 120 to 5 years prior to the Flood.
- God instructs Noah on how to build the Ark (vs 14-16) -Jasher 5:34 says that Noah commenced to make the Ark five years before the Flood and that it took him that long to build it. Presumably his now 95 year old (young) sons helped him with the building and thus would have had very little time for marriage. Jasher 5:35,36 confirms this when it says that Noah picked the three wives for his sons literally right around the same time that Methusaleh died — which was just seven days prior to the Flood. So it appears that there was both a funeral and a wedding at the same time!
- God says He is going to destroy the whole earth, but will preserve Noah, his wife, his sons and his son’s wives (vs 17-18) — God’s promise right before the Flood waters came (when Noah was 600 yrs old).
Based on the above, easily verifiable timeline, there is little need for assumptions. The texts say what they say. All flesh had become corrupted and Noah didn’t pick the three wives for his three sons until the very end, during the last few days before the Flood waters came. So could it be that those three women might have fallen into the category of those whose flesh had been corrupted? Genesis, Jasher and Jubilees would lead us to believe that they were. Naturally, that means God allowed corrupted DNA onto the ark.
THAT'S ABSURD!
My detractors say that my position regarding Nephilim genetics possibly surviving in any member of Noah’s crew is absurd and makes no sense. They ask, “If God had to wipe out the whole world with a Flood, why would He allow any Nephilim genetics to survive on the ark?”
They are focusing on the symptom not the root cause. Why they can’t see that their position is even more absurd, I will never know. God had to destroy the whole world because of what the Watchers and their offspring did. His entire Creation had become completely corrupted. That was the reason for the Flood! So, if that’s the case, why would God simply allow the same thing to happen again? What? Was the Flood just a half-time show that the Watchers watched as the playing field was washed clean? Was God just wiping everything out so they could simply pick up where they left off and start all over again almost immediately after the ground was dry? No. That makes absolutely no sense at all.
Whereas, it makes perfect sense why God may have allowed microscopic genetic codes (i.e. a remnant of genetic information) to survive — just long enough for His people to wipe them out. Why? Because as we will soon see, it was through the heroic acts of the Hebrew people that the whole post-Flood world came to fear them and YHVH, their God — the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God got the glory through His chosen people and this new nation of “giant slayers” stood as a testimony to all other nations of the awesome power and truth of the living Creator of heaven and earth.
Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, and said to the men, “ I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. When we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath. (Joshua 2:8-11)
When you consider what this tiny nation did to entire cultures of massive post-Flood giants, it is very easy to see why God “allowed” Nephilim genetics to survive — long enough to be wiped out by His people. In so doing, God demonstrated to the world and to the fallen angels what people in right relationship with Him can do.
X AND Y CHROMOSOMES
We know from Genesis that God created man in His own image and likeness. This is most interesting if we take that notion down to the genetic level. I began to wonder, does God have chromosomes? Considering the fact that Adam was created in His likeness, it would seem so.
A man has both X and Y chromosomes. Women lack the Y chromosome and instead have two X chromosomes. So when God took Eve “out of Adam” it would appear that God replicated the X chromosome. When the Holy Spirit “overshadowed” Mary and impregnated her with the “seed” that would germinate her egg, thus producing the promised Messiah, He added His Y to her X in order to produce the male child.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.(Matthew 1:18)
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.(Luke 1:34,35)
In both cases, the first Adam and the “Second Adam” were given their Y chromosome from God Himself. I believe this is absolutely critical in understanding the value of all of the men on Noah’s ark being pure and why “tainted genes” in the women are far less of a problem than what you can expect from the notion of multiple incursions, where male angels are reintroducing bad Y chromosomes into the gene pool.
We know from Scripture that Eve’s sin did not cause the downfall of the human race. It was only when Adam took a bite of the “forbidden fruit” that sin entered the world.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5:12)
When Adam sinned, the human race fell. Sin entered the world through a man, therefore sin had to be paid for by a man. This is why God didn’t have an “only begotten daughter” to save mankind, but rather a son.
But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:15-17 NASB)
The interesting thing about the Y chromosome, is it can only come from a father. Thus, every Y chromosome in existence today had to have come from fathers, which can be traced all the way back to Noah; the one genetically pure male whose untainted Y chromosome could be traced all the way back to Adam; the man who received the first Y chromosome directly from God Himself.
In order for mankind to eventually be saved, there would have to be a pure Y chromosome genetic line going all the way back to Adam. To achieve this, God made absolutely certain that the first generation Nephilim offspring who received their Y chromosomes from angels would be killed off within 500 years of their birth.
And to Gabriel said the Lord: ‘Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on theirbehalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.’
(1 Enoch 10:9,10)
This same story is given in the book of Jubilees as well:
And against their sons went forth a command from before His mouth that they should be killed with the sword, and be removed from under heaven. And He said “My spirit will not always abide on man; for they also are flesh and their days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” And He sent His sword into their midst that each should slay his neighbor, and they began to slay each other till they all fell by the sword and were destroyed from the earth. And their fathers were witnesses (of their destruction), and after this they were bound in the depths of the earth for ever, until the day of the great condemnation when judgment is executed on all those who have corrupted their ways and their works before the Lord. And He destroyed all from their places, and there was not left one of them whom He judged not according to all their wickedness. (Jubilees 5:7-11)
Here again, we see the pre-Flood timeline, illustrating the time period wherein the first generation offspring of the Watchers lived and died. I would liken that first group to the Titans of Greek mythology. If that is an accurate assumption, let’s look at the possibilities concerning other generations of Nephilim.
MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF NEPHILIM
I think it is a reasonable assumption to say that the first generation offspring of the Watchers may have had offspring themselves during the 500 year timeframe that they lived. Some disagree with that notion altogether, suggesting that the Nephilim were sterile. But I reject that idea based on numerous Scriptures that talk about giants who were sons of other giants. Take Numbers 13:33 for instance. This text clearly states that the sons of Anak were Nephilim who came of (or from) other Nephilim:
And there we saw the giants [Nephilim], the sons of Anak, which come of the giants [Nephilim]: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.(Numbers 13:33)
The giants the Hebrew spies saw are here described as being the offspring of Anak, who was himself the son of a giant named Arba. For Nephilim to be producing other Nephilim, clearly they could not have been sterile! 2 Samuel 21:16-22 also mentions Ishbibenob and Saph who were described as “sons of the giant.” Another man of great stature, with six fingers and toes was likewise described as one who “also was born to the giant.” In all, we read about four giants (some say these were all the brothers of Goliath) who were killed by David and his mighty men.
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.(2 Samuel 12:22)
How can giants be born to other giants if the Nephilim are supposedly sterile? I don’t know where that line of thinking got started, but clearly it is not supported by the biblical text.
We also see evidence of a variety of Nephilim types both in the Hebrew as well as pagan extra-Biblical texts. For instance, the book of Jubilees talks about Nephilim offspring known as the Elioud (or Eljo):
And they begat sons the Nâphîdîm, and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Nâphîl, and the Nâphîl slew the Eljô, and the Eljô mankind, and one man another. (Jubilees 7:22)
In the Greek version of 1 Enoch, we learned that the Greek manuscripts vary considerably from the Ethiopic text, especially in 1 Enoch 7:1-3 where we find the following added to that section:
“And they [the women] bore to them [the Watchers] three races-first, the great giants. The giants brought forth the Naphilim, and the Naphilim brought forth the Elioud. And they existed, increasing in power according to their greatness.”
In the above account, it appears that the first generation offspring of angels and humans were simply called the “great giants” (which I believe were the Greek Titans) and that it was their offspring who were called the Nephilim (possibly the Olympians) from whom came the Elioud (these could be the demigods of Greek mythology, such as Hercules). Whatever the case may be, we see both in Jubilees as well as in 1 Enoch that there were generations of offspring that came from the original children of the Watchers. I believe this same idea is reflected in the Sumerian myths as the difference between the Anunnaki and the Igigi, and as stated above, in the Greek myths as the difference between Titans, Olympians and the demigods. This then raises another question:
WERE THERE FEMALE NEPHILIM TOO?
We’ve already addressed a number of misconceptions concerning Nephilim, but I want to tackle another one here. Many not only say that the Nephilim were all sterile, but also that they were all male. Is that true? We don’t see any direct evidence for female giants, Nephilim or Elioud/Eljo in Scripture (as in a description of any female giants interacting with the Israelites). We do however find indirect references from which we may infer that female offspring of “like kind” may have existed. Indeed, I believe they did. Why else would God order the “utter destruction” of men, women and children in some of Israel’s military campaigns to conquer the land of Canaan?
All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. (Deuteronomy 3:5-7)When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. (Deuteronomy 7:1-3)
Either God is quite prejudice and into random acts of genocide, or He has a legitimate reason for wanting even the women and children (which were usually taken as “spoils of war”) to be utterly destroyed along with the men.
If we compare the Hebrew narratives to that of the Greeks, we see that there certainly were female “goddesses” that were every bit as famous as their male counterparts. At least one of these even found her way into canonized Scriptures:
And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? (Acts 19:35)
Diana was the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis, who, according to the mythology was the sister of Apollo and daughter of Zeus. We’ve already discussed who Apollo really was/is in Book 1, so I won’t spend time on him here. But since Artemis/Diana was his sister and also associated with the hunt, the moon and birthing (among other attributes), it is easy to see that her Assyrian equivalent was in reality Nimrod’s sister Semiramis, who was known as Ishtar to the Mesopotamians, Isis to the Egyptians, Astarte in the Northwestern Semetic regions, and Inanna to the Sumerians.
She had temples at Sidon and Tyre, and the Philistines of Askelon apparently venerated her as well. She was everywhere! In North Africa, she was known as Tanith, which means the “Face of Baal” signifying that she was his consort. And in the land of Canaan, she was known as Ashtoreth and even King Solomon went after her:
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father.(1 Kings 11:4,5)
Solomon built a high-place for her near Jerusalem which lasted until the time of King Josiah, who finally tore it down. The extent of her cult among the Israelites is proven by numerous biblical references and frequent representations (such as Asherah poles) of the deity in various forms and names all related to the same individual.
The Encyclopedia Britannica has the following to say concerning this individual under the name Ishtar:
“As the great nature-goddess, the attributes of fertility and reproduction are characteristically hers, as also the accompanying immorality which originally, perhaps, was often nothing more than primitive magic. As patroness of the hunt, later identification with Artemis was inevitable. Hence the consequent fusion with Aphrodite, Artemis, Diana, Juno and Venus, and the action and reaction of one upon the other in myth and legend. Her star was the planet Venus, and classical writers give her the epithet Caelestis and Urania."
The link to Urania is particularly interesting to me. Remember the nine Muses I mentioned in the Introduction? She was one of them and was associated with Astronomy. There is book known as the Urantia Book, that I consider to be perhaps one of the most dangerous books on the planet. It claims to be of “extra-terrestrial origin” and is sometimes simply called the “Blue Book.” It is over 2,000 pages thick and contains a lot of details concerning the layout, structure and function of the Orvonton universe (supposedly the Milky Way) and of earth in particular (known in this book as Urantia). Could this book have been “channeled” by an entity (Muse) known as Urania?
In the United States, this same goddess has been propped up as Columbia and is thus perched on top of our Capitol Building, which is referred to as the “Temple of Liberty” (another name for Columbia, Ishtar, Isis, Diana, etc.).
To many cultures, the entity described above was simply known as the “Queen of Heaven.” She is the one that the prophet Jeremiah wrote about, quoting YHVH, the one true God of Heaven who clearly was not happy that the Israelites (Judah) were worshipping her.
“Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. Do they provoke Me to anger?” says the Lord. “Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?”Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.” (Jeremiah 7:16-20)
There certainly is no real “Queen of Heaven” sitting beside our King YHVH. And since we find absolutely no evidence in Scripture for the notion of female angels, we must therefore conclude that these so-called “goddesses” were in fact giants, Nephilim, and/or Elioud.
If we are to accept the ancient myths of other cultures as having originated from some measure of truth, then we are forced to acknowledge the fact that these gods and goddesses mated with one another as much as they did with normal humans. In the Greek myths for example, we know that the Titans were paired off as follows:
- Cronus and Rea
- Coeus and Phoebe
- Hyperion and Theia
- Oceanus and Tethys
In the Greek myths, some of the children of the first generation Titans are also referred to as Titans and they were both male and female:
- Asteria
- Astraea (Dike)
- Astraeus
- Atlas
- Eos (Dawn)
- Eosphorus (or Hesperus)
- Epimetheus
- Helius
- Leto (mother of Apollo and Artemis/Diana)
- Menoetius
- Pallas
- Perses
- Prometheus
- Selene
The Titans Cronus and Rea were said to have been the parents of the Olympian gods Hera, Demeter, Hestia, Poseidon, Hades and Zeus. The female Titan Leto was the daughter of Coesus and Phoebe and she was herself the mother of Apollo and Artemis/Diana (the so-called “Queen of Heaven”) through her union with Zeus.
Some would argue that Zeus was in fact an angel because he was known as a “sky-god” who would come down and mate with women. But where do we see precedence anywhere in Scripture for angels being born, growing up and dying? No. Zeus was no angel We get all of our stories about Zeus from the Greek mythology/history, and in those writings we find that this so-called “king of the gods” was born and then later hidden away on the island of Crete by his mother Rhea who didn’t want her son to be eaten by his father Cronus. From there, young Zeus grew up and as
Genesis 6:4 states, became a “great man of renown,” but then he died and was buried at Knossos, Crete.
“From the terrace of my rooms in the inn at Knossos I can see Mount Dicta where Jupiter [Zeus] was born, Mount Ida where he was brought up, and Mount Joukta where tradition locates his tomb. There is a depth of philosophical thought in this landscape which overcomes me, and every evening I return to gaze again on the violet coloured heights of Mount Joukta. The great dome of the mountain above the ruins of Knossos is truly worthy to be the tomb of a god.”— Angelo Mosso
Dr. Ken Johnson agrees:
Jupiter’s [Zeus’] tomb is in Crete, on the north side of the city of Knossos. Knossos was supposed to have been founded by Vesta [Rhea], his mother. The inscription over the tomb of Jupiter says in Greek, “Zan Kronou,” which means “Zeus, son of Kronos.”— Ken Johnson, Th.D.
If we are prepared to accept that Zeus was indeed a real individual that lived sometime in the ancient past, and we can acknowledge that he is nowhere described as an angel, nor does he even fit any description of one, then we must conclude that he was some sort of powerful man; most likely a later generation Nephilim. If we can accept that as truth, then his sister goddesses would also therefore have to fit that same description. If we can safely come to that conclusion, then it is very easy to see why God would want to wipe out all the men, women and children in known Nephilim villages within the land of Canaan.
CONFIRMATION?
Shortly after I began writing this blog, I got a call from an old friend. His name is Jeff Randle and he is the founder of nephilimskulls.com.
Jeff and I met back in 2003. We lost contact shortly after that when he moved from Dallas to New York and as a result we had not spoken or written to each other in over seven years. Recently, while doing a Google search on the Nephilim, he found my name popping up all over the place on news articles, blogs, images, books, DVDs and radio shows. He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he called me out of the blue and inquired about my involvement with the subject of the Nephilim and how it was that I got into that research. I told him my story and he shared his with me. Turns out, God has had us both on a similar path of researching this most intriguing of subjects. A couple of weeks later, I got a voicemail from him, stating that he was back in town and wanted to meet.
Sheila and I met Jeff for lunch at a local Cracker Barrel restaurant. After catching up on our lives, he pulled out a high-quality, first generation replica of one of the cone-head skulls from Paracus, Peru and laid it out on the table. It was the skull of a female!
Note the difference between this female skull and that of her more robust male counterparts:
Needless to say "Miss Nephie" quickly became the center of attention! In fact, it actually turned out to be great bait for witnessing to the lost. Our waitress came over to the table and we had a lengthy conversation about the topic of the Nephilim, the Bible and God’s plan for mankind (explaining why God did all those “bad things” to people in the Old Testament). It was a very enjoyable meeting.
After it was over, Jeff gave me the skull! He said, “Maybe this will help you with your research.” Indeed it has!
This is an extraordinary skull. The more you look at it, the more you see that this is something beyond human. It is notthe result of “cranial deformation” due to dolichocephalism While skull binding does change the shape of a skull, thereis strong debate as to whether or not it can produce a larger brain cavity. In their book, The Enigma of Cranial Deformation, David Hatcher Childress and
Brien Foerster explain:
While it is assumed that headbinding will allow the cranium to enlarge and stretch, creating a larger volume in a skull than would be in a normal person, not all researchers believe that this is possible. Some researchers maintain that headbinding would not enlarge the volume in a person’s skull as the amount of skeletal material would not increase, only the shape of the skull would change. Until more research is done on this subject, we will not have a definitive answer on whether headbinding can double to volume of a crania.
A normal human skull has a 1,100 and 1,900 cc brain cavity. According to my friend Jeff, the skull he gave me has about 40% more brain capacity than any comparable size skull, whether shaped by head-strapping or not. It has a number of other odd attributes as well. Please take a moment to watch the following short video by Brien Foerster concerning some of the strange differences in the elongated skulls of Paracus, Peru:
The skull of which I now have a replica was determined to have been of a female that stood about 5 feet, 4 inches tall. Some say it is shaped the way it is due to having been stretched through the practice of head-binding. Others point out that, due to the many oddities found in its makeup, the person appears to have been born that way. In support of that thesis, a number of baby skeletons have been found that already had elongated skulls. In fact, Childress and Foerster even describe an occasion where an unborn foetus with an elongated skull was found inside a mummy!
Even at that time scientists were proclaiming that the skulls had been artificially elongated by head binding, a claim currently in favor for the Australian Kow Swamp skeletons. However, Dr. Tschudi commented, “Two crania (both of children scarcely a year old), had in all respects, the same form as those of adults. We ourselves have observed the same fact in many mummies of children of tender age.. The same formation of the head presents itself in children yet unborn, and of this truth we have had convincing proof in sight of a foetus enclosed in the womb of a mummy of a pregnant woman... aged 7 months!”
If babies were being born with elongated skulls, that shows evidence of an entirely different race from that of normal humans. If not normal humans, then what are they? Only DNA testing would definitely determine that, but in this layperson’s opinion, I would say these very well could be the remains of Nephilim (including females).
Consider also the example of Nefertiti of Egypt. That’s not just a fancy headdress she’s wearing here:
This person, like her husband Akhenaten, had an elongated head! So also did their children! Check out their three daughters below:
Here we see three young females with elongated skulls, sitting on the laps of their parents who both have elongated skulls themselves. Although the one on the queen’s lap appears to have a headdress on, the one on her shoulder and the one in the king’s arms do not. They appear to be very young, with already cone-head shaped skulls.
Assuming this is an accurate likeness of the queen, the picture to the left shows a profile of Nefertiti revealing just how incredibly large and elongated her head was. Was she born that way? Were her daughters (like the one below) born that way too?
It wasn’t just the Egyptians and Peruvians that demonstrated these traits. Many cultures from all around the world (including those of Malta, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Korea, Bolivia, Mexico, Siberia, Easter Island, China, ancient Sumer, Mesopotamia and elsewhere), who never interacted with one another either had beings walking among them with these naturally manifested traits or else they were independently all engaging in the practice of cranial deformation. But why? If they were not born this way, why did they want to do this to themselves? Indeed, that is a question Childress and Foerster asked and spent a lot of time trying to answer, as they explored the possibilities in their book, but ultimately they concluded:
As for the fascinating concept that some skeletons with elongated skulls are of a different race from Homo sapiens, or that they are from another planet altogether, we have to wait for some daring and specialized DNA analysis to prove the matter one way or the other. Until then, no doubt there will be plenty of speculation; hopefully, more research will be done, and more books and articles will be written on the enigma of cranial deformation and the proliferation of coneheads in our past.
Though there is some disagreement and a lot of speculation, the general consensus is that if these individuals (often of the royal classes) did not have skulls naturally shaped like this to begin with, they were intentionally modifying themselves and their children to look like beings who did.
Since it wasn’t just the males doing this, it stands to reason that the females who were desirous of this particular look, were subjecting themselves to such modification in order to look like the female “goddesses” who naturally did have that appearance. Thus, even if the above are not examples of actual female Nephilim, the historical and Biblical records clearly show, at the very least, circumstantial evidence that there were indeed Nephilim of the female variety that walked this earth at one time in the distant past that normal human women desired to emulate their appearance. As such, I believe this may be confirmation of my thesis concerning the possibility that the three wives of Noah’s sons could have had corrupted, Nephilim DNA running through their veins.
NEPHILIM PUNNET SQUARES
I’ve been building a case for why I believe the women on the ark may have had “tainted genes.” Assuming all three of Noah’s sons were as genetically pure as he and his wife were, if we were to do some simple Punnett square-like examples, we’d see that the “bad” X chromosomes (let’s refer to them as NX) would be passed along to the offspring of the post-Flood population as follows:
X-Y Normal Male + NX-X Tainted Female = Four possibilities:
- NX-X = Nephilim female
- NX-Y = Nephilim male
- XX = Normal female
- YX = Normal male
Here we see a 50/50 ratio of possible outcomes, both male and female.
In the above graphic, I am assuming that we are dealing with essentially a 50/50 hybrid female. However, it is my personal belief that the percentage of “Nephilim genes” contained within what (for the sake of this discussion) I will call Nephilosomes would be significantly lower due to the length of time from the last of the first generation Nephilim being killed off and the time that the three wives were born. Assuming they were roughly the same age as Noah’s sons, that would mean there was about 500 years for the original Nephilosomes to become watered down through repeated interbreeding with normal humans. At least, that’s one possible scenario, which assumes their genes were passed down from successive generations descended from the first generation Nephilim.
Another possibility would involve corruption of their genetics via the hybridization process of being genetically mixed with animals as discussed in Chapter Four. For the sake of argument, and to keep the example simple, let’s imagine the results are the same: she is 50% part normal human female and 50% part corrupted flesh.
What you see depicted in this Nephilim Punnet Square is the likelihood that a normal male, paired with a 50% hybrid, would have four possible outcomes: Nephilim male/female children or normal male/female children. If the odds worked in favor of the latter, there is no problem. All future offspring would be 100% normal. If the former, well, you keep plotting out the Punnett Squares as you see here and you find a variety of similar results. The key is there is only one X-Nephilosome being passed around — and that’s a good thing! Why? Because if there were Y-Nephilosomes being passed around, the problem and the odds are significantly worse.
RISE OF THE X-MEN
I can already hear my detractors asking, “But Rob, how do we know it works this way?” To which I would respond, “Of course we don’t know for certain, but then how do we know that it doesn’t work this way?” Naturally, this is all speculation, but we do know that God put laws in motion that cannot be violated. If He created man in His own image and likeness, then there has to be some form of X-Y chromosome-like structures at work in the spirit realm too. Assuming that also applies to angels who leave their first estate and appear in human form, capable of procreation, they must have something akin to X and Y chromosomes to pass along to their offspring. When the Holy Spirit “overshadowed” Mary, she conceived and bore a Son, Who’s Y chromosome could have only come from YHVH since women are incapable of passing along a Y chromosome.
I wrote earlier that it was a good thing that only X-Nephilosomes were being passed along because the notion of multiple incursions significantly complicates the issue when you do a Nephilim Punnett Square. This is because the fallen angel is not a hybrid of one pure chromosome and one bad as would be the case with a Nephilim. Instead, you would have two bad Nephilosomes to deal with: an X and a Y!
The above graphic illustrates the problem, which only compounds as you play out the scenarios. Every time you introduce potent, fallen Y-Nephilosomes into the gene-pool of humanity, it results in pure and never ending chaos! This is why I believe God put a quick end to it, nearly 700 years before the Flood.
No matter what theory you subscribe to: mine or that of the Multiple Incursion Theory, you have genetic issues to deal with. My contention is that the Multiple Incursion Theory introduces a far greater genetic threat than does the idea that female Nephilim hybrids entered the ark. At least in female Nephilim Punnet Square graphic, we can see that there is a 50/50 chance that you could have offspring that were completely normal. Whereas the above graphic shows percentages that are not so good, which if perpetuated only become compounded, posing a far greater threat to humanity.
This next graphic takes it to the next level. If we are to believe that angels just continued to copulate with women again and again and again in multiple incursions, then watch what happens with the Nephilim Punnett Squares in such a scenario:
This graphic shows what happens if fallen angels were to mate with already tainted Nephilim females. In this scenario, which would be akin to believing that Zeus was a fallen angel (as some do believe) mating with one of the demigod females. In that case, you’d have two X-Nephilosomes and one bad Y-Nephilosome producing four very bad possible outcomes. If you continue playing out the Nephilim Punnett Squares in this scenario, the results are truly catastrophic!
No. I believe the Female Nephilim Punnet Square illustrates the most likely scenario, which is one mankind could easily survive. Any other scenario would spell certain doom for the human race, which only reinforces my belief that the Multiple Incursions Theory is the most absurd of possibilities in terms of what we may think God allowed to happen during and after the Flood. Thinking He allowed fallen angel seed to be continually reintroduced into the human gene-pool is infinitely more absurd than allowing tainted genetics to pass through the female line, which could still lead to a 50/50 chance that normal children could be produced in the wake of all flesh having previously become corrupted.
The ones that were born not-so-normal, I will now refer to as the first “X-Men.” These were men who received a fallen X-Nephilosome from their mother and a good Y chromosome from their normal father. Thus, whatever super-human attribute they received — be it enormous height, strength, double rows of teeth, polydactylism or other unnatural abilities — it would have come from their mother.
I believe the first X-Man to arrive on the Biblical scene may have been Canaan, son of Ham. He had a variety of additional X-Men children who had some very interesting names, which are given in Genesis 10:
And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.(Genesis 10:15-20)
These were all the “ites” that the Israelites were told to utterly destroy (including the women and children and even in some cases, the animals too).
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Let's back up and look at all of Ham's kids for a minute. But in doing so, I will list beside each name, its Hebrew meaning. As I do, you will see an interesting story emerge:
GENESIS 10:6 And the sons of Ham [tumult: he raged]; Cush [black: terror], and Mizraim [double straightness], and Phut [afflicted], and Canaan [a trafficker].
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba [drink thou], and Havilah [anguish], and Sabtah [compassed the chamber], and Raamah [thunder], and Sabtechah [compassed the smiting]: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba [he who is coming], and Dedan [their love].
8 And Cush begat Nimrod [we shall rebel]: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.13 And Mizraim begat Ludim [firebrand: travailing], and Anamim [affliction of water], and Lehabim[flames: blades], and Naphtuhim [openings],14 And Pathrusim [moistened morsel], and Casluhim [forgiven ones], and Caphtorim [bowing to spy] (from whom the Philistines came). [see Jeremiah 47:4 and Amos 9:7]15 And Canaan begat Sidon [hunting] his first born, and Heth [terror],16 And the Jebusite [trodden down], and the Amorite [sayers], and the Girgasite [stranger draw near],17 And the Hivite [livers], and the Arkite [my gnawing], and the Sinite [thorn, clay, mire],18 And the Arvadite [shall break loose], and the Zemarite [double woolens], and the Hamathite[enclosure of wrath]: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Putting them together in a (Chuck Missler-like) possible paragraph rendering:
He raged (a) black terror, double straight, afflicted trafficker.Black terror drink thou anguish. Compass the chamber. Thunder compassed the smiting. He who is coming, their love: we shall rebel.(A) double straight firebrand: travailing, affliction of water - blades opening the moistened morsel - forgiven ones bowing to spy.(A) trafficker hunting terrors, trodden(ed) down sayers, (the) strangers draw near. (They) live, gnawing (like) thorns, (they) shall break loose, double woolen enclosure(s) of wrath.
That's quite an interesting family, wouldn't you say? There is no mention of any angels anywhere in this picture and yet you have parent's naming their kid, "enclosure of wrath!" Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmmm."
I've said it before, and I'll state it again here: ALL post-Flood giants can be traced back to the people in Genesis 10! Thus, the idea that there had to have been another incursion of angels is pure fantasy and not at all supported by the Scriptures.0
