Are Nephilim Fallen Angels?

Question

A 19'6" human skeleton found in 1577 A.D. under an overturned oak tree in the Canton of Lucerne.

23-foot tall skeleton found in 1456 A.D. beside a river in Valence, France.

A 25' 6 " skeleton found in 1613 A.D. near the castle of Chaumont in France. This was claimed to be a nearly complete find.

Almost beyond comprehension or believability was the find of the two separate 36-foot human remains uncovered by Carthaginians somewhere between 200-600 B.C.

If penis size is proportional to body size, take a guess on these guys :)

Wonder why museums don't have skeletons like this in them. A 36' skeleton would be interesting to stand next to. Would a 6' person come to thier knee maybe?

Museums should show them though because just as we are astounded by the universe, this would cause the same reaction of ourselfs.

Answer 1

Nephilim were human/angel hybrids - and according to tradition the children that these hybrids had were known as forms of demons.

As for why museums wont display such giant skeletal remains - perhaps because people might lean toward the Biblical account instead of the false science of evolution. It raises a good many questions they cant and wont answer.

Any giant up to 9 feet tall is quite okay because THEN they can chalk it up the genetic dissorder, Gigantism. Anything over that does not allow for the typical nature of the dissorder.

Answer 2

The term Nephilim comes from Genesis 6, and is a transliteration of the Hebrew word. The word was translated into Greek with the word "gigantes" which was later transliterated/translated into Latin/English as "giants."

The issue of fallen angels is an article of speculation in Judeo-Christian study, the passage in Genesis 6, passages in Job and Revelation being the key talking points.

The term "niphal" does mean litterally "to fall" and can even mean "to fall upon," the "im" at the end signifying plural beings. In addition, the term "gigantes" can be translated "big people" by both virtue of size and also virtue of power, such as popular appelations in modern fiction, like "Big Tony." In that context, "big" could refer to size - he's a large person - or power - he is a powerful person.

Ultimately it will be up to the person reading the text and their individual beliefs to determine the meaning of the term, but within religious studies it is debated whether the term refers to a host of types of people, from divine beings to simply people of power, be it supernatural or purely political.

Answer 3

The Christian disciple Jude wrote about them when he mentioned “the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place.” (Jude 6) Why did they come to the earth? What wrong desire did Satan put in their heart to get them to leave the fine positions they had in heaven?

The Bible lets us know when it says: “The sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.” (Genesis 6:2) Yes, the angels put on fleshly bodies, and they came to earth to have sexual relations with beautiful women. But such love affairs were wrong for angels. This was an act of disobedience. The Bible indicates that what they did was just as wrong as the homosexual acts of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Jude 6, 7) What resulted?

Well, babies were born to these angels and their wives. But the babies were different. They kept growing bigger until they became giants, wicked giants. The Bible calls them “mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame.” These giants tried to force everyone to be bad as they were. As a result, the Bible says that “the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.” (Genesis 6:4, 5) So Jehovah brought the Flood. The giants, or “Nephilim,” and all the wicked people were drowned. But what happened to the angels that had come to earth?

They did not drown. They put aside their fleshly bodies and returned to heaven as spirit persons. But they were not allowed to become part of God’s organization of holy angels again.

Since the time of the Flood, God has not permitted these demon angels to take on fleshly bodies, so they cannot directly satisfy their unnatural sexual desires. Yet they can still exercise dangerous power over men and women.

Answer 4

Nephilim were supposedly half human half angel beings. This happened with the angels procreated with humans. (It's in the bible) They were considered abominations to God. Supposedly they are part of the reason that God decided to flood the Earth.

Answer 5

I've heard that the Nephilim were half angels half humans, but i don't have any scientific evidence. But for them to be fallen angels and humans, could be.

And if this is proportional to their genitals, I'm glad I'm not married to one!

Answer 6

I believe these are the verses you are refering to:

Gen 6:1 And it came about that men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them.
Gen 6:2 The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were good, and they took wives for themselves from all those whom they chose.
Gen 6:3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man; in their erring he is flesh. And his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Gen 6:4 The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore to them; they were heroes which existed from ancient time, the men of name.
Gen 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the day long.

Here is a reasonably good explanation about the Nephilim:

Gen_6:4
Two classes of men, with strong hand and strong will, are here described. “The giants,” the well-known men of great stature, physical force, and violent will, who were enabled by these qualities to claim and secure the supremacy over their fellow-men. “Had been in the land in those days.” In the days when those intermarriages were beginning to take place, the warriors were asserting the claim of might. Violence and rapine were becoming rampant in the land. “And after that.” The progeny of the mixed marriages were the second and subsequent class of leading men. “The sons of God” are here contradistinguished from the “nephilim, or giants,” who appear therefore to have belonged to the Cainites. The offspring of these unhallowed unions were the heroes, the gallants, the mighty men, the men of renown. They were probably more refined in manners and exalted in thought than their predecessors of pure Cainite descent. “Men of name,” whose names are often in men’s mouths, because they either deserved or required to be named frequently on account of their influential or representative character. Being distinguished from the common herd by prominent qualities or memorable exploits, they were also frequently marked out by a special name or surname, derived from such trait of character or deed of notoriety. “Of old” (מעולם mē'ôlām). This has been sometimes explained “of the world,” in the sense of αἰών aiōn; but the meaning is too late for the present passage. The phrase uniformly means “of old,” covering a more or less extensive length of time. This note of time implies a writer probably after the deluge, who could speak of antediluvian affairs, as happening of old.
It is remarkable that we have no hint of any kind of government in the antediluvian world. It is open to us to suppose that the patriarchal polity would make its appearance, as it is an order based upon natural relations. But it is possible that God himself, being still present and manifest, was recognized as the governor. To him offerings were brought, and he deals with Cain on his first and second transgression. In that case the lawless violence of the strong and willful is to be regarded as rebellion, not only against the patriarchal rule, but the divine supremacy. A notice of civil law and government would not of course affect the authority of the book. But the absence of such notice is in favor of its divine origin. It is obvious that higher things than these have the attention of the sacred writer.

Ouch!

Answer 8

They are the children of man and angle.
