The Nephilim – Giants or Demons?

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

The Nephilim were the gigantic offspring that resulted from the union of the fallen angels and “the daughters of men”, that grew to be of a tremendous stature and possessed of a titanic arrogance and will-to-power that rivaled that of their Satanic fathers. — Douglas Elwell

In addition to being an attempt at wiping out the seed that would one day crush the Devil’s head, I believe the fallen angels were also offering a false salvation. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they fell from a previously perfect existence into a fallen state. Just like the Hegelian dialectic, it would appear that the Devil had his own “Luciferian dialectic” in which he created a problem, which caused a reaction to which he then offered a solution. When fallen humans mated with fallen angels, the result was a counterfeit “son of god,” called the Nephilim. This is the direct antithesis of what Yeshua did for us:

The only thing that explains the giants of the Bible is the notion that something supernatural took place. That’s exactly what happened according to the canonized Scriptures as well as the ancient Hebrew synchronized, biblically-endorsed, extra-biblical texts. According to the book of 1 Enoch, 200 Watcher class angels landed on Mount Hermon in the days of Jared. They mated with women, who gave birth to massive offspring known as the Nephilim. Those wicked creatures killed each other off within 500 years, then their parents, the Watchers were judged. The question now is, did angels continue to mate with women again after that? 

1 Enoch states that the first generation angel-human-hybrid Nephilim were destroyed 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 the length of days shall they not have. And no request that they (the Watchers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years. (1 Enoch 10:9,10)

Presumably, if the Titan Nephilim had five hundred years to fight, they also had five hundred years to procreate as their parents did. This would have produced second, third, fourth… generation hybrids of beings mixed with both their own seed as well as the seed of men. This, according to the ancient texts, created a variety of giants by different names, sizes, and characteristics as stated above in Jubilees and in the Greek version of 1 Enoch. These all existed in the pre-Flood world.

Comparing Genesis 6:1,2 with the synchronized, biblically endorsed, extra-biblical texts, we may easily understand “those days” to be a reference to the days of Jared when the 200 Watchers (sons of God) came down and mated with the daughters of men. Moses then makes the statement that they were also around, “after that.” This is where many scholars think he is writing about the days of Noah that preceded the Flood, which came after the days of Jared, Noah’s great, great-grandfather. The Genesis Six Experiment took place in roughly 3550 BC. Enoch 10:10 says the first generation Nephilim were completely destroyed within 500 years, which brings us up to roughly 3050 to 3000 BC. That is the “those days” spoken about in Genesis 6:1-4. The “and also after that” is therefore referring to the time period of roughly 3000 BC to 2350 BC. It covers a duration of roughly 650 to 700 years leading up to the Flood, during which there was a return of the Nephilim. It is not talking about the time period of (or just prior to) the time of Moses and the conquest of Canaan, which was about 1400 years later! The Hebrew word achar does not in any way support that notion.
