Giants of Genesis 6:1-4

Continuing on with Genesis, today I am looking at the Giants of Genesis 6.

To read this passage without my comments click HERE.

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

In verse one it shows that the “be fruitful and multiply” of Genesis 1:28 when God told Adam and Eve to replenish (or refill) the earth, was in effect.

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

In this verse the “sons of God” are fallen angels. The bible is clear that there are beings that existed and cannot be defined as being human at all. Other verses that mention the “sons of God” are Job 1:6, and Job 38:7. In the book of Enoch it also states that angels, the children of heaven, saw the daughters of men and observed that they were fair, so they married whomsoever they pleased.

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always thrive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Interesting enough the amount of years for man was set at 120 years, however it is also recorded in the book of Genesis that Noah lived to be 950 years old according to Genesis 9:29.

4There 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.

Then the giants forced themselves on the daughters of men. Who were these giants? According to Strong's Concordance the word giant can mean bully, tyrant, or a very large person #5303-5307, root word “naphal”. If the word giant means large person of old, like they lived a long time ago, then there would be some archaeological evidence to support such a claim. I believe there is evidence to support this idea.
In the days of ancient times it wasn't uncommon to find dragon flies with 5' wingspans. In fact there are many animals today that had ancestors that were huge in comparison to today's varieties. So it is my opinion that the giants were actually large people. Most will not agree because if giants really existed, then it goes against both the theory of evolution and the Judeo-Christian version of creation.

Going on the idea that giant means "giant" explains different things that are difficult to explain, for example how they moved the giant blocks of Baalbek that weigh up to 1,200 tons. Blocks this large cannot be moved with today's technology because there is not a machine in existence that can lift it. However, if one imagines very large giants moving the blocks, then it puts it in proper perspective.

I have said before on this blog that it is my belief that Adam was not the first man on earth, because of this it is entirely conceivable that men of old were much larger than us and fit in well with the environment of ancient times. Physical evidence abounds on every major continent of the earth that giants lived here before us.

This is a giant footprint in South Africa. It measures 4' long and notice where the man has his hand, this is 

from when the giant lifted his foot up and created that little shelf looking thing with his toes.

Many photos are on the internet of giant human skeletons that have been found. It is probable that some of them have been photo shopped, so I will not post them here. I am however convinced that some of them are authentic. The stories of the people who claim to have seen them before the Government takes them away never to be seen again, have a consistent theme. they had two rows of teeth and six fingers. 

This is a video of a speaker making a convincing case for the existence of giants. The last few minutes of the video is silent, but very good otherwise.

Praise the Lord!
