The Truth About Fallen Angels (Part 3)

We have seen movies and heard stories about fallen angels. But what is really the truth about them?

Cont'd from part 2.

The flood came in Noah's time. Noah was the great grandchild of Enoch, who was the first in Adams family who had blond hair and blue eyes, according to Enoch's journal. After the flood, you would think that the giants and everything else connected to the Nephilims have been destroyed. And after the flood you would think had disappeared.

But the truth is, after the story about the flood, the whole Old Testament is full of stories of other giants that Israel fought against. One of them was the famous Goliath who was killed by a fragile little boy named David. Goliath was not the only giants recorded in the bible after the flood.

Here are some of them:

When Moses was about to lead Israel into the promised land, he sent 12 spies to see how the land was. They came back, terrified, with a horror report in Numbers 13:33.

"The land we passed through in order to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants. All the people we saw there were giants! We saw the Nephilim, the descendants of Anak (a.k.a. the Anakim), who was from the Nephilim; to ourselves we looked like grasshoppers by comparison, and we looked that way to them too!" (Complete Jewish Bible)

While 40 years before Joshua's time, 12 spies ran cowardly to Moses and whined about the Anakim giants, after Moses' death, Joshua led Israel and cut off those same giants from the land.

Joshua at that time came and cut off the Anakim from the land... No Anakim were left in the land of the people of Israel -- only in Azah, Gat and Ashdod did some [of the Anakims] remain.

So no giants were living in the land of the Anakim after Joshua, but there were 3 other places where they were still living in. In one of the towns, named Gat, another giant challenged the young David hundreds of years later, after Joshua's death. The story about the famous battle between David and Goliath is recorded in 1 Sam 17

There came out a champion from the camp of the Philistim named Goliath, from Gat, who was nine feet nine inches tall. (Complete Jewish Bible)

40 years after wandering in the desert, Israel led by Joshua finally went into battle against the nations in Canaan and the neighboring countries in Deut. 2:20.

This too is considered a land of the Refaim: Refaim, whom the Emori call ZamZumim, used to live there. They were a large, numerous people, as tall as the Anakim; but ADONAI destroyed them as the people of Amon advanced and settled in their place. (Complete Jewish Bible)

One of the countries that Israel had to fight in order to enter Canaan was Bashan. Deut 3:8-10:

"At the time we captured the territory of the two kings of the Emori east of the Jordan between the Arnon Valley and Mount Hermon... all the cities of the plain, all Gilad and all Bashan... cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan." Og king of Bashan was the last survivor of the Refaim. His bed was made of iron; It is 13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide. (Complete Jewish Bible)

Thousands of years later, in the time when Israel was led by King David, the king's army fought 4 more battles against other giants, after Goliath. 2 Sam 21:16-22:

Once again the Philistim made war on Israel. David went down with his servants and fought... Yishbi-Benov, one of sons of the giant, said that he would kill David... But Avishai... came to David's rescue... Sibkhai killed Saf, one of the sons of the giant... Elchanan killed Golyat the Gitti... There was again war at Gat, where there was a belligerent man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot --24 in all-- and he too was a son of the giant. Jonathan... killed him... These 4 were sons of the giant in Gat; they all fell at the hands of David and his servants.

The most interesting part of this all is that this endless war between the descendants of the fallen angels and human beings started very early after the flood. Most of the time, it was the one same tribe of Israel who defeated the giants -- Judah. In the times of Moses and Joshua, Israelites of the tribe of Judah defeated the giants. In the times of David, it was David himself at first who defeated Goliath, the giant. David was from the tribe Judah.

In the end, until now, the battle between them and mankind is no longer a physical battle, but a spiritual one. The giants who are physically dead are still here as spirits wandering the earth, trying to find rest and home in human bodies. Their enemy now is also from the same tribe as David. He is called the Lion of Judah. His name makes them tremble in fear -- Jesus Christ.
