The last days will be as the days of Noah. So then, will nephilim be here again? Who will be the "image" of the beast? Some folks say it's a hologram, some folks say cloning. Some How will the world be so convinced that this strange beings are God?
I've had some very odd dreams about the daughters of men (Biblically: the daughters of Adam)
Genesis 6:4 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 6:3-5
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Luke 17:25-27
Daniel 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. Daniel 2:42-44
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:13-15
This will be a blog for Christians, for people who are part of a minority, for writers. I'm a poet, essayist, devotionalist, reviewer and writer of speculative fiction.Let God be true...and every man a liar.

I had a question burning in my mind earlier this morning,and then I come across your post. I am glad you wrote this.
The nephilim..were these like fallen angels, or just men? I ask because my study bible's sidebar notes mention that essentially these were just men but really tall, and yet I glanced at a survey book and it said "although they are men, they are more than men." Something to that effect...what do you think?
I like Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen, she used the nephilim for her story.
Okay, thanks:)
Okay, I know I missed watching this video, I just watched it and some questions were answered, but I'd like your take on it. Why would people not believe these were Sons of God?
Thanks so much!
Oh my gosh!!!! I can't believe they still are teaching that false version. NEVER EVER accept anything written by anyone unless you search the scriptures to see if those things are so. Your study Bible was probably written by someone who came from the tradition that doesn't believe it. A study Bible is merely someone's opinion that has been approved by the denomination of the christian book publisher who printed the book.
Your study Bible writers probably don't believe in speaking in tongues either and probably believes "the days of miracles are past."
I've just added another part of his sermon. See above. The folks who came up with this idea didn't like the idea of angels supposedly being able to have sex and have children. How do folks who believe the Sethite theory deal with Jude if they ignore the angel sex nephilim tradition?
The ancient rabbis taught they were the angels, not men. Christian Folks want to believe that the sons of God are children of Seth and the daughters of men are children of Cain. Not true. Would be really odd to have trouble because the male descendants of Cain hooked up with the female descendants of Seth.
A lot of mistranslations and misreadings of the English Bible have created faulty theories we all get attached to without thinking it out.
Check out the two new ones I added over the other youtube.
My take is this: Get two or three study Bibles and three or four Bible versions. There is so much false, denominational, uninspired, traditional interpretations of stuff in the Bible it's pitiful.
Hey, when I think of ALL the folks out there who seem to think God wants them to pick on Job's wife...and who ALL don't seem to realize she was a woman who lost all her kids, all her property, and who had NO ONE come to comfort her as Job had...I want to scream. I actually had an argument with a woman who said that Job's wife was a temptress who tried to turn her husband away from God. I had to tell her that the woman is the weaker vessel and Job was supposed to be comforting his wife, and that anyone grieving the death of all her children would probably turn against God.
I remember T D JAkes -- a man I used to respect and who preaches as if he understands women-- say that God gave Job a brand new wife and ridded him of that bad wife he had. (As if God can't make an old woman have kids again.) Something the Bible doesn't say. So if we have a culture that can have ALL the men and WOMEN preachers not seeing something because of their assumptions and sexism believe me, we can have a culture that simply disbelieves in the more mythic parts of the Bible. Trust me...so much of Christianity and the Bible as we know it is not what Jesus taught or how the rabbis know it.
Okay, off my soapbox now.
The anthropological fact -- as Chuck Missler points out-- is that this is a part of the Bible (like the flood story) that is very much like all the mythic stories found in other cultures.
The ideas of vampires, succubi/incubi and demon lovers shows the idea of having non-human lovers is part of the human psyche. And perhaps those folks who are against the angel theory are doing themselves a grave injustice.
What with ufo's and alien abductees trying to impregnate earth women and --weirdly, obsessively-- working on human conceptive experiments it is QUITE possible that the "image" of the antichrist would fool the very elect...because they were not warn that as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the last days. A great deception. -C
Great point! On the Nephilim topic, I am reading here and it says: Gen6:4"..they were powerful men of old, the famous men." Perhaps, I may have mistaken it. Yet it continues in the sidebar stating: "These could be the mythological race of men, who were maybe far more powerful and stronger, yet these angels were killed off before the flood."
Anyway, I believe they were angels who had sex with the women, I may have misinterpreted it.
As far as T.D. Jakes, I hardly expected that from him, after hearing your side about the wife, I feel I have been reading over some things and letting preachers tell me what the truth is, when in fact it goes back to interpretation. Although the old testament is mostly narrative of an old culture, or old tradition, as far as me reading it in the present time, I can identify with the wife. No one is so perfect that they won't suffer if their children and life were ripped away from them. It makes me mad as well. So I guess Jakes thinks he is perfect, along with other preachers who say the same thing.
Thanks again.
The thing is we must study and learn everything ourselves. We must judge all things and cling to what we know is true, even if the rest of the church doesn't. The seed is sown in our hearts and we must have root in ourselves...which means we must fully know why we believe it. We honor our teachers but they make mistakes, based on what they heard in school...and often they aren't even aware that they aren't rightly dividing the word because everyone else is saying the same thing. Not that Job's wife was perfect. But the hatefulness lashed out on her...not good...and basically second-hand. God wants our own minds to work... Not sure if I ever sent you my bible study.
Will send you a pdf. I'll have to redo it cause more and more I realize that even when i think my mind is freed from unthought-out traditions, I still have them in my mind. Love you. -C
