Watchers
The term”watchers” appears in ancient apocryphal writings such as the Book of Enoch. (More on that in another blog)In these extra Biblical writings, watchers refer to a group of angels who rebelled against God and descended to Earth. These watchers took human women as wives, producing giants who were half human and half angels. This…

The Fallen Ones
The Bible never calls evil spirits Nephilim. Nor does the Bible describe evil spirits as disembodied Nephilim spirits roaming the earth. Early church theologians such as Tertullian, Justin Martyr, Origen of Alexandria, and St. Augustine of Hippo viewed evil spirits as fallen angels. All of them considered pagan gods evil spirits that deceive humanity. Fallen…

After Its Kind
My next point in the Nephilim angel-hybrid theory is that it falls short of the biblical principle that creatures are created after their kind. According to the Bible, God made everything after its kind. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast…

Angels
My next premise concerning the Nephilim controversy is the nature of angels. Angels, or heavenly beings, are not related to humans by blood, DNA, or nature. They are a distinct order of created beings. They have a spiritual body, not a physical body. Angels are not the same kind of creation as humans. That means…

The Promise
One problem I have with the angel hybrid theory is that it does not align with Scripture. To follow along with this series, please refer to this blog. After Abel’s death and Cain’s banishment, Eve bore another son, Seth, which in Hebrew means “substitute” or “one who takes the place of another.” This is significant…

Nephilim Cainites
Scripture tells us in Genesis chapter 4 that after Cain slew Abel, God said he was cursed. To be cursed under the law means to be under divine judgment, separated from God, living under the flesh or carnal desires. Looking back a few verses, we see that Cain rejected the sacrifice of the lamb for…

Nephilim Sons of God
The main doctrine of the Nephilim angel hybrid theory is based on the term, ‘ Sons of God.’ While there is reference to angels being “Sons of God,” in the book of Genesis, 6:2, and 6:4 and in Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Job 38:7, this term is not exclusive to angels. In fact, more often…

Nephilim Myth
My first premise in presenting my argument that the Sethite theory is the correct interpretation of Genesis 6 is that the Bible specifically warns against last-days myths. The Greek word for myth is muthos. The ancient Greeks were notorious for their mythical stories about gods, monsters, and half-human entities. The word used in the scriptures…

Nephilim Theory
After careful examination of the Nephilim theories, I have concluded that the Sethite argument is the most feasible. That being said, I want to share how I came to this conclusion based on my research and understanding of scripture. The reason I am doing this post is to allow you to hear the Sethite argument…

Supplication Prayer
Supplication is an earnest request directed to someone in a position of power. In English, supplication means a humble and earnest petition, entreaty, or a prayer directed to a deity for mercy, aid, or a special blessing. (Merriam-Webster) To make a plea, legally speaking, is for an accused person to make a strong request to…
