NEPHILIM, ANAKIM & REPHAIM

[Genesis 6:3-4] Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Abba
Abba’s song “I believe in angels something good in everything I see” says it all. People believe in angels just as they believe in the good in themselves. People’s subconscious clinging to the good is unmistakable. People want to believe in something that makes them feel secure. For an inexplicable reason some want to destabilize this notion of angels being good, but are they? Angels are nether good nor bad, they are the way God made them without the free will, which requires a physical body, time and locale. God is God. Angels are angels. The question of good and bad is only an earthly matter.

You may go into many conspiracy theories and agree with those who propagate one thing over another, but the root-truth is that humanity tries to hold on the last bastion of security, which someone tries very hard to destroy. Christianity exploded to the scene because of the promises of eternal life after death. Look at the cemeteries so many graves have statutes of guardian angels. People die in peace with the assurance of being saved, going to heaven and the resurrection from the dead. Yet, someone took an enormous amount of time trying to pollute this realm of perfect peace and perfect love with Lucifer's supposed rebellion and fallen angels that taught man to sin. As if this earth is not big enough to hold human evils man had to reach also for the heavens.

I tend to believe that there is a divine intervention happening now. He does not want to loose you. He loves you and He wants you back!

The Nephilim were before the flood and afterwards. They were submissive and humble, as the angels, which God made.

 GENTLE GIANTS

Giant skeletons found in many parts of the world
When disputes and wars broke out between tribes; people used giants to be their captains just to frighten an opponent. Yes, the biblical record points in that direction; people had taken advantage of those gentle giants. I have also realized something quite interesting: giants didn't seem to be too bright, but they had more of the spiritual qualities like healing abilities; hence the word Rephaim, which comes from the word ROPHE (Hebrew for a medical doctor or healer). However, as the Eden story in Genesis 3 shows it to be God did not want Adam to remain uneducated and unintelligent. We can only learn from contrasts.

THE POWER OF EDUCATION

God educated Cain. From the time of Seth through his son Enosh people started to call on the LORD's name YHVH, but studies came later, through Abraham. But that was not yet too lofty. Only from Abraham's grandson Jacob, and after Israel were released from the Egyptian bondage that the proper education had a start.

To God's delight the 40 years of wilderness experience was set aside for education. 2000 years later Jesus goaded the Jews to gain knowledge, which started after 70 A. D. and which continues on to this day. However, Christianity exalts faith to the point of creating a blind belief as if that belief is something almost magical. Sacraments, rituals and liturgies, confessions; and to a great extent symbolism; started to play a dominant role in the church rather than education.

Jews formed schools and prized education above anything else; they prospered both intellectually as well as in business; were persecuted and often expelled.

CONTRASTS

Contrasts play major role in this as Jews went their own way and Christians developed their own form of theology. These two divergent theologies (although Judaism does not have an official theology per se) contrast each other; and to certain extent also rival. But that is exactly what God wanted.        

As in the example of Goliath the Bible suggests that he most probably was one of those amazing beings. Goliath’s brother Lahmi (account found in 1Chronicles 20:4-8) was also easily killed by Elhanan, as well as another descendant of Giants by the name Sippai he was killed by Sibbecai, an Israelite.  

Only with a cleansed mind you will be able to understand this. The giants were not evil for their mission was not to war, to destroy and bring to death, but rather the opposite, to stimulate the progress on earth. Please follow the Word of God that calls them in Genesis 6:4 the sons of God, they most likely were corrupted by the other non-Adamic tribes.

Since Genesis 15:19-20 states that the Kenite root was also found in the Rephaim. It becomes increasingly clear that the giants came to be through the clash of those two seeds. The Adamic seed (those that still remained true to their ancestral line) was slowly crossed with the seed of Cain; and with the non-Adamic seed of which the Bible does not speak about. Let us see now those mixes.

1. Eve brought forth the fruit (son) of disobedience Cain.
2. Eve brought forth Abel then Seth. Adam was not cursed directly as Nechash or Eve was, but only the ground was cursed BECAUSE of Adam’s sin. (Genesis 3:17-19) From this line come Abraham, Jacob, Judah, David and Jesus.
3. Cain is mixed with non-Adamic tribes, which already existed and most likely evolved from earlier forms of life that God created before ‘TOHU V'VOHU’—chaos of Genesis 1. (When we carefully read Genesis 1 we see that FIRST heaven was already created, in the first statement of the Bible.
4. Then the chaotic was set into order, in other words, was separated and placed in its own category: light governed the day, and darkness the night, great waters below governed the seas and waters above the sky etc.
5. In Genesis 1:26 God creates the spiritual human Adam and Eve as one soul.
6. In Genesis 2:7 out of the ground God fashions the physical human being.
7. The physical Adam was split into two. Eve became the other physical being. This is the reason for cleaving to each other because originally and spiritually they were one.
8. Now we see that spiritual properties were also distributed among all peoples just as God Himself planned. This plan we now investigate. No one knows who is who; only God Himself does. By their fruits you shall know them (Mat. 7:16-20). Sons of God—offspring of Cain and Seth—mixed with other peoples, this mix resulted in the birth of giants. (Note the fact that not all were gigantic.)
9. Intermarriage continued. Primarily the biblical account deals with one genealogical lineage. The Bible presents us then with Noah’s descendants just to show that God WATCHES OVER THE PATRIMONIAL LINES. Abraham was also mixed, but the PREDOMINANT LINE was the Adamic one. Then we have the formation of God’s chosen people.

Conclusion. All have the possibility to be righteous. This righteousness God watches over and then decides how to deal with us. He may choose you if you choose Him.        

GIANTS' INBREEDING & ANGELIC LIKE QUALITIES

The giants remained as giants, but because of inbreeding they gradually were vanquished and disappeared. The sons of God were of a normal stature, but when they entered the non-Adamic earthly women the result was not the same. The Adamic - angelic lines acted differently in each instance. Since angels in heaven have different sizes and appearances it is only logical to deduce that angelic genes, which passed on to Adam later on appeared in the offspring intermixed with the non-Adamic tribes. Among them most likely were people with other qualities than size.

It is not hard to imagine that all intellect, vision, artistic and all qualities of revelation were also very evident in those beings. (In heaven angels appear in different sizes, some have one pair of wings, others have three pairs. Some are very tall others human-like. Each angel has a specific function and so they are dressed according to each function. Some have long hair some have short; some have blond hair others brown and black.

Once the primitive tribes were mixed with the Adamic race, music, architecture, inventions of sorts and most likely writing had their start. After Cain settled the land of Nod we have the appearance of arts and the creation of bronze and iron tools, which were also formed into weapons.
 
[Genesis 4:21-22] His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron…

Angels are the messengers of God’s wisdom, knowledge, beauty and the like. Angels transmit inspiration, they are worshipers, helpers, servants, and bearers of good news.   

It was through Abraham that all nations were going to be blessed. Abraham knew his kind and his God hearing abilities were obvious.

Whenever power and rulership is involved the evil nature kicks in. People who were told to multiply and subdue the earth did exactly that, but big families had naturally more influence over the smaller ones. These families became clans and tribes and then nations with their own traditions and cultures. Once this happened tribal wars were frequent. This bitter opposition and bitter strive drove the ancients to bloody confrontations in which they used giants.

A giant, whom I call ‘Adam-Malach’ a ‘Human-Angel’, was not meant for war, but to bring divine knowledge to earth.

[Romans 8:14, 19-21] For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

In Carnac France, among the uniformly set up immense granite stones, we find a site suggesting that the round stone structure might once had been an astronomical observatory. It is not a mystery to me since I love the Bible I see that the ‘Anashim-Malachim’ (People-Angels) were there too. On the ‘Golan Highs’ we find enormous stone structures some scholars assumed them to be some ancient altars, but how these stones were elevated and transported into position remains a mystery. Enormous foundational stones weighing hundreds of tons were used in the building of Solomon’s temple. Obelisks weighing thousands of tons were used in building the Baalbek Temples in Beqaa Valley in today’s Lebanon.

According to Estfan Doweihi, the Maronite Patriarch of Lebanon: ‘Tradition states that the fortress of Baalbek... is the most ancient building in the world. Cain, the son of Adam, built it in the year 133 of the creation, during a fit of raving madness. He gave it the name of his son Enoch and peopled it with giants who were punished for their iniquities by the flood.’ (Source: A.F. Alford, 'The Phoenix Solution', 1998, Hodder & Stoughton.)

That’s just an old tradition, but as all legends and traditions contain specks of truth and grains of false understanding so also is the case here. Flood came not because of giant’s evildoing but rather because of the evildoing of earth’s entire population. That Cain came back and settled Canaan is a biblical fact; and that the king Og of Bashan was a giant we know also for the biblical text shows it to be so. We also know that Hiram of Phoenicia built Solomon’s temple. Several massive stones bolster the Temple mount; they are estimated to weigh around 500 tons each. They were discovered during the excavations along the Western Wall.

When we tie all these loose ends we conclude that giants were most ingenious, with angelic like qualities and most likely they knew the laws of levitation and were able to manipulate gravity and could reverse it. The qualities were Adam’s and his children until they joined other peoples.    

As a point of interest let me bring some estimates of the stones that were used in the building of those enormous structures. The three foundation blocks ‘The trilithon’ in Beqaa Valley in the nearby Baalbek temple have the following dimensions: The largest is 65 feet in length, the second 64 feet and 10 inches; and the third 63 feet and 2 inches. They are all 14 feet and 6 inches in height, and 12 feet in thickness. Each block is therefore 350 cubic yards and they are estimated to weigh 750 - 1,000 tons each.

Noah found favor in God’s eyes. Let’s say on the scale of one to ten Noah was six percent righteous and instructed his family in the same, while according to the same scale the rest of the world did not measure up. There was simply too much evil in the world and this was the imbalance. The seed of Cain unfavorably tilted the scales in the direction of the tares and forced God’s hand.

Out of Noah, his wife his sons and daughters-in-law God initiated a new breed of people, the people that contained three lines and one was predominant; hence also the determining factor in our planet’s survival.

Today, if Kenites (weeds) had their way they would choke up the righteous seed, oppress and enslave. God hates oppression and slavery. The unrighteous, greedy, violent and the selfish dies from the self-inflicted wound anyway; while it is the meek (the gentle) that inherits the earth (Matthew 5:5). 

In a long run the righteous wins and in the short run the unrighteous seems to prosper, but his days are painstakingly numbered. The tares' mission is limited only to this earth. After the Great Judgment Day—the harvest—they are burned up and shall be no more or will serve as a fertilizer for the filed that revitalizes the seed’s production (Mat. 13:30).

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Our development in the area of science, technology, astronomy, magnetic fields, medicine etc, would not have any start without the Spirit of God passed on to us through the Adamic race and subsequently through the ‘Anashim-Malachim’. The giants were here before the flood and afterwards. Mind the fact that they escaped destruction, but did they? The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward… (Gen. 6:4). Apparently they had their own means of transportation we do not know about. But if we take into account genes then their genes existed in the members of Noah’s family and had appeared again.

Angels are also preachers of good or bad news (Malach also means messenger). Angels REPRESENT THE LORD and they are as the Lord Himself; for the Lord does not have an image or a body to behold so before the time of Jesus the heavenly Father appeared through an angel.

In Judges 6:12-14 we read about an angel who spoke with Gideon and Gideon called Him the Lord. (14) The Lord looked at him and said, “Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?” The Lord did not speak much and did not answer Gideon’s specific questions, but commanded him to go and deliver Israel from the hand of the Midian. In Judges 6:20-23 the angel—the Lord speaks again and performs a sign, then in the next verse he vanishes and frightened Gideon cries. Alas, o Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. And the Lord said to him, “Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die.” Gideon sees an angel, but the angel does not speak, but the Lord.

The Lord also can speak to and through a human as long as that human identifies his or her lineage with the angelic Adamic line; otherwise God would be speaking to some evolved animal.

After the angel’s visit Gideon’s ears were opened and after the angel went away Gideon could still directly communicate with the Lord.

In Judges 13:6 we read about a man whose appearance was as the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. This messenger announced the conception of Samson and commanded the woman to abstain from wine, strong drink or any unclean food. In verse 13 the angel said, “Let the woman pay attention to all that I said.”

The power is secreted in a detail. Since angels are, and MUST be detail-oriented, otherwise they could not be used of God at all; they really have no other choice but to say what God says. (I think that they do not use will for they have none, they are like a recording of God's will, which they play out to those on earth.)  It is easy for angels to obey for they dwell in the time-less sphere. God, all at once, installs His own program with all details and they are made plain. We had to wait for the computer age to understand it all. (Do I whet your appetite to become like an angel again?) The moment we sharpen our obedience to maximum, God will speak and visit us for we shall be ready to do His bidding.

Finally, in order to emphasize my point, I want to turn back to the Book of Judges, but this time to the beginning of chapter 2. Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim and he said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers…” An angel comes and says, “I have brought you up…” Did this particular angel do this or was it the Lord Himself? Jesus also said that if you accept those that He sends you accept not them but Him. Do you see this oneness? Jesus of His own accord does not send anyone, but it is the Father (Jn. 5:19). No wonder that all angels are often translated as messengers, angelic or human. But is a human really a human the way we have been taught?

You can access the animal in you or you can access the angel in you therefore this segment is dedicated to do just that; to awake your spiritual senses; just as He has awakened mine.

[Malachi 2:7] For the lips of a priest, should preserve knowledge and men should seek instruction from his mouth for he is the MESSENGER (ANGEL) of the Lord of hosts.

Most teachers of righteousness are as God’s angels and therefore should be treated as such. Jesus went as far as stating 'they are gods' (Jn. 10:34) provided they hear God’s voice and obey; thus they are subject to the one God and are also one with God.
   
GENETICS

When one interacts with the unusual, one pays attention to details. Thus, some were called Anakim, people with long necks. The Rephaim were known as shadowy figures. The Emim provoked fear, so their names were equated with horror and terror. The name Zamzumim referred to tribes that made noise; they were perceived as evil and frightful.

When God sent spies to Canaan, upon seeing the giants, some of them trembled in fright. Joshua and Caleb, however, were not afraid. They seemed to be quite amused, for the fear of the Almighty God was already upon all the inhabitants of the land. Joshua and Caleb did not perceive the giants to be evil or aggressive. That perception was in the other spies’ heads. Both Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit, which usually attaches itself to an unusual gene (Numbers 14:24). Genes act like tent pegs holding down the genetic makeup/tent. Great spiritual legacy can be created right now through this knowledge.

With Dr. Lahn’s permission (a geneticist at the University of Chicago) I’d like to emphasize some aspects of his research. Dr. Lahn worked with the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research to construct a novel theory about the origins of the Y chromosome, which is widely used today to determine ancestry. Lahn’s paper on the recent evolution of the human brain asserts that new versions of two genes are currently spreading through the human population, and that these genes are more prevalent in some geographic regions than others. He has speculated that these genes may be linked to brain size and intelligence and wonders if the mutations—one of which took place roughly 40,000 years ago, the other, 5,800 years ago—correlate with the development of art, written language, and the founding of cities. And he stepped on more than a few toes when he noted that, geographically speaking, these changes had occurred pretty much everywhere except sub-Saharan Africa.

Dr. Lahn examined the DNA of 1,184 people around the world, although not in racially mixed areas like North America, Russia, and Australia. He estimated that one undamaged variation, microcephalin haplogroup D (V1), first appeared around 40,000 BCE and has since spread to about 70 percent of humans. A second variant of the gene, abnormal spindle-like microcephaly, associated haplo group D (V2), arrived more recently, around 6,000 BCE, and has since spread to 30 percent of humans. It is most common in Europe and the Middle East.

I call the abnormal gene “unusual” or “unique,” for it arose at the same time the great mix also occurred when God’s new creation and its genetic pool collided with people of a completely different genetic makeup.

TWELVE FINGERS & TWELVE TOES

Mind another fact, in the Bible—in every place where a giant appears like Goliath, Lahmi his brother, a man with 12 fingers and 12 toes, king Og of Bashan and others—the Israelites quite easily defeated them. We are dealing with different genes that clashed sometimes producing strange things.

In the past, while my mind was still filled with the devil consciousness I have imagined them to be the devil’s seed. I was influenced by the sensational wild imaginations of those who believed that Satan copulated with Eve and from this union came Cain and from him fleshly devils. If that were so then Eve lied with an animal (cattle). Again, if that were so then Cain was part a reptile. And again, if that were so then his wife in Nod was also strange looking… and the endless line of speculations gets weirder with time. For some it is easier to believe in anything grotesque than the truth. It is easier to accept an alien invasion on earth and their supposed creation of humans than God the Spirit and His angels. Why our minds so often drift away from the Truth is because of our ancestry, which unless we part with through repentance will only drag us deeper into the mystical and unexplained.

The man with 12 fingers and 12 toes seemed to be the only one of his kind. My mother, a hospital head nurse, witnessed several births where women gave birth to inhuman looking monsters. The doctors quickly disposed of these grotesque looking babies and hushed it all up. I will never forget what my mother told me. As we were going through villages and towns delivering court orders to people suspected of coming in contact or being already infected with venereal diseases; she told me about their source, of which the doctors knew well. It is known that the Canaanites, among many other perversions had also practiced bestiality. Venereal diseases can be traced back to pre-Israelite peoples of Canaan.

When Joshua and Caleb crossed over Jordan they quickly disposed of several giants. In Kiriath-arba (Hebron) Now, the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war (Joshua 14:15).

All giants, Nephilim, Anakim and Rephaim easily fell before Israel. They have built enormous structures and very high and thick impregnable wall. Now, we can choose to believe that they were the offspring of some aliens or an offspring of Cain and Seth after the clash of different genes. Genetic mutations and variations have much to do with the appearance of twelve fingers and toes. Additionally, there is no biblical depiction of any incredible violence or ruthlessness of those giants. The more we study the Bible the more we see that they were unusual and very special gigantic people. Once you choose to think that indeed they came to be the result of a genomic clash; you will rest. Many of us carry giants’ properties, but we have prejudiced ourselves against them by constantly imagining that they appeared as a result of union between “the fallen angels” with human women. Yet, Jesus said that after resurrection we shall be like angels and we won’t marry. Thus our bodies will no longer be fleshly but indeed celestial.

[Luke 20:34-36] And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
 
The sons of God can’t marry nor produce physical offspring. And just as we see that in Luke 3:38 Adam is called God’s son then his sons were also. In the same way as Jesus said to Mary after He rose from the dead he said, Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God (Jn. 20:17). “My brothers and My siblings…” These were the only words Jesus spoke—after He rose from the dead—in reference to us being His brothers, a term that encompasses all genders for in Christ genders no longer play any role (Gal. 3:28). Only after resurrection, after the price was paid through the released power of redemption we have been adopted back as God’s children.

[1John 3:1-3] See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

As the spiritual Adam came down from heaven and God made fresh new genes from the ground (a figure of speech) so also his heavenly genes were passed on to subsequent (mixed) generations. The Bible traces that gene and so should we also, but it is not the natural element we are after but the spiritual one. Anything physical only identifies something spiritual.

ANGELIC FEATURES

Prophet Ezekiel in chapter 10 verses 8 speaks of Cherubim with hands under their wings that had the FORM OF A HUMAN HAND. Logically, for the reader’s sake, the prophet suggests that he saw other hands, which did not resemble human ones. Ezekiel also saw wheels and other things, which he was not able to explain in human terms.

In Isaiah 6:2 the prophet sees angels with six wings. With one pair they covered their face, another pair their feet and the third pair of wings they used to fly.

Why were the giants easily defeated? My answer is simple: just as the Philistines used Goliath as their champion to frighten the Israelites so the Canaanites did the same. It written portrayal of giants implies that the normal-sized people used giants to their advantage.

[1Samuel 17:10-11] Again the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man that we may fight together.” When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

The Philistines gathered their armies for battle and then they used Goliath only to frighten Saul and his army and thus subjugate Israel through fear. Fear is an old tactic, but David did not buy it. God’s finger was on David and he knew better. From David’s example we can learn much; why was he not dismayed and greatly afraid as Saul was?

[Numbers 14:24] But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.

Adam had a different spirit than all other earth-roaming people, (like the Neanderthals). So, David had Adam’s spirit and the Lord liked it. We go back in time and we spot Joshua and Caleb who had different spirit than the ten other spies who caught the fright disease and which they gave to the rest (Num. 13). As a result that entire generation had to die during the 40 years of wandering. God favors His Spirit in us and us when we tap to His Spirit and boldly act on it. We see scriptural consistency and logic. The better we know the Bible the more accurate picture we are able to paint.

When we count the lifespans of Adam’s descendants we add up several thousands of years. Those that hold on to the gap theory, a Lucifer’s imagined rebellion and a dark-ages type of a period, etc., try to substantiate their theories. But once we understand Cain’s Nod, his wife and the Kenites who settled Canaan we make all zigzags straight again. 

The extra-terrestrials were on this earth, but these were angels-like beings created by God in the Garden of Eden. The offspring of Adam, Eve, Abel and Seth was permitted to enter women of different kind and the purpose was to stimulate progress. Did God succeed? The answer is yes, most certainly. The ancient structures testify of this success, our cultures and the technological development owes deep thanks to the Adamic race from which, thanks to Israel and the Bible, no human would ever develop.       
 
Again, if angels are the ministering or SERVING spirits whether in the spirit body or physical garment (which the human body really is) then it should not be surprising that their human offspring was also be of a softer disposition. If Cain was the devil, therefore evil, then Abel was soft. Abel’s or rather Seth’s seed was gentle. Cain’s seed was aggressive.

The Jewish people of the pre WWII time were too soft and they went to the slaughter like little lambs. Out of this remnant of lambs God raised for Himself lions to establish the state of Israel and to fulfill His eternal plan. Today within the Israeli government we witness the struggle between ‘hawks’ and ‘lambs’. The Nation is divided between the soft and the hard. The process continues. But when you travel to Antarctica you must protect yourself against the extreme cold by wearing thick and warm clothes. In the same way the Creator wants us to have thick skin but soft hearts. That is also the reason why we must maintain defensive forces, for aggressors keep on scrutinizing your every move.

GIANTS’ DISAPPEARANCE

Sixteen kilometers east of the Sea of Galilee in the western part of the historic Bashan plain of Israel are the ruins of the Gilgal Rephaim. It is five concentric rings made of an estimated 42,000 tons of black volcanic basalt stones wedged together. It is also often called the Circle of Og. “Og the King of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth at edrei” (Joshua 12:4). In Genesis 14:5, we are told the Rephaim inhabit the place called Ashteroth-karnaim. About ten miles from the rings is the site of an ancient Canaanite city called Ashtaroth. Deuteronomy 2 mentions the Rephaim who were as large as the Anakim (v. 10). About the size of the people of Bashan we read in Deuteronomy 3:11. Bashan’s king Og was the last of the great Rephaim. His iron bedstead was kept at Rabbah, and measured thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide.

ARCHEOLOGY TODAY

According to a press clipping, dated Nayarit, Mexico, May 14, 1926, Capts. D. W. Page and F. W. Devalda discovered the bones of a race of giants who averaged over ten feet in height.
In, June 22, 1925, and the New York Herald-Tribune, June 21, 1925. A mining party, it is reported, found skeletons measuring 10 to 12 feet, with feet 18 to 20 inches long, near Sisoguiche, Mexico. The Los Angeles Times, October 2, 1927, says that explorers in Mexico located large human bones near Tapextla, indicating a race of “gigantic size.” Press accounts say that the skeleton of a gigantic man, with head missing, has been unearthed at El Boquin, on the Mico River, in the Chontales district. The ribs are a yard long and four inches wide and the shinbone is too heavy for one man to carry. "Chontales" is an Indian word, meaning “wild men.” In the late 1950’s during road construction in Homs southeast Turkey, many tombs of Giants were indeed unearthed. These tombs were 4 meters long, and when entered in 2 cases the human thighbones were measured to be 47.24 inches in length. They calculated that the person who owned this Femur probably stood at fourteen to sixteen feet tall. A cast of this bone is seen at the Creationist museum in Texas.
Flavius Josephus, the noted Jewish historian of the first century A.D., described the giants as having “bodies so large and countenances so entirely different from other men that they were surprising to the sight and terrible to the hearing.” And he adds that in his day, the bones of the giants were still on display.

CLOSING POINTS

God’s sons carried quite a different spirit than all other peoples on the planet. People like Neanderthals were also made out of the ground, but were not infused with that same intelligent spirit, as were Adam and his descendants. Cain infused those other people with a higher life-energy, which roused several sleeping faculties like higher IQ and the growth of bigger brains. Cain activated technological progress as well as new warfare tactics; currency creation like gold and silver, which in turn instigated trade. Just as Joshua, Caleb and later David did not fear the giants the same is with those who know the Truth. They do not easily fall prey to anything frightening, they know more and know better.

[Proverbs 28:1] The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
