FATE OF THE GIANTS

WHY THEY WERE FORGOTTEN

What happened to the giants destroyed in Noah’s flood. Why are no skeletons ever found? These are the giants that were 250 feet tall or MORE. The giants after the flood were not this huge.

Dinosaurs are found everywhere, but it seems God has a special burial ground for the giants. I have found several Scriptures that refer to this fact. They were meant to be "forgotten" until NOW. The word forget or erase from memory is used several times. They were so despicable God did not want them to even be remembered.

Here are some notes from Dake: The Septuagint reads: Are giants going to rise up from beneath the water and the places near in a neighborhood? Moffatt: Before Him the primeval giants writhe, under the ocean in their prison: the underworld lies open to His eyes. Fenton: the Rephaim, themselves, were destroyed and rest under the seas.

Formed: Hebrew hul, remain. It means they remain under the waters and by no stretch of the imagination could it refer to the graves of men on the surface of the earth. They are never under the ocean with all the creatures in them.

See: Job 26:5 and 16:14. Isaiah 26:14 and Numbers 13:33. There are many other Scriptures about giants. I just picked these. There are so many it makes one wonder how people have glossed over those facts for so long when it was right in front of them unless God blinded their eyes to erase these creatures from memory until the "right time."

Several different Bible versions are used for the sake of clarity.

Notes: Job 26:5 The Septuagint reads: Are giants going to rise up from beneath the water and the places near its neighborhood. Moffatt: Before Him the primeval giants writhe, under the ocean in their prison; the underworld lies open to His eyes. Fenton: the Rephaim, themselves, were destroyed and rest under the seas. Young: The Rephaim are formed, beneath their waters, also their inhabitants,. Thus not only does God’s power exist in heaven as Bildad stated, but also in the low places and the region of the dead, so that they whose bodies are in corruption still feel in their souls and spirits the power of God in hell. The place of the departed spirits of giants and ordinary wicked men is beneath the ocean and underneath the earth.

In Job 26:5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. (Formed) It means they remain under the waters and by no stretch of the imagination could it refer to the graves of men on the surface of the earth. They are never under the oceans with all the creatures in them.

Psalm 88:10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? (Rephaim) shall the dead arise and praise thee?

Note: Rephaim a name of one of the branches of giants that came from fallen angels and the daughters of men. (Gen6 and Jude6-7) Will you show Your wonders to the giants that have no resurrection?

Isaiah 26:14 They are dead (Rephaim), they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them and made all their memory to perish.

Job 26:5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

Job 26:6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

Job 26:5 "All the buried dead are in torment, and all who've been drowned in the deep, deep sea.

Job 26:6 Hell is ripped open before God, graveyards dug up and exposed.

Job 26:5 "The souls of the dead tremble beneath the water, and so do the creatures living there.

Job 26:6 Sheol is naked in God's presence, and Abaddon has no clothing.

Job 26:5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

Job 26:6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering.

Job 26:5 The spirits of the dead tremble in the waters under the earth.

Job 26:6 The world of the dead lies open to God; no covering shields it from his sight.

Isa 26:14 Now they are dead and will not live again; their ghosts will not rise, for you have punished them and destroyed them. No one remembers them any more.

Isa 26:14 Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again: therefore hast visited and destroyed them, and hast destroyed all their memory.

Isa 26:14 Now they are dead and will not live again; their ghosts will not rise, for you have punished them and destroyed them. No one remembers them any more.

Isa 26:14 The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.

Isa 26:14 Dead--they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.

Isa 14:9 Sheol below wakes up to meet you when you come. It wakes up the ghosts of the dead, all who were leaders on earth. It raises all who were kings of the nations from their thrones. (could these be the kings and rulers Lucifer ruled over? Some giants mentioned in Enoch were more than 200 feet tall. No wonder the dinosaurs were no challenge to them.)

Isa 14:9 The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats.

Isa 14:9 The nether-world from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; the shades are stirred up for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; all the kings of the nations are raised up from their thrones.

Isa 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

Psa 88:10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

Isa 26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

THOSE WHO CAME AFTER THE FLOOD

Rephaim

ref'-a-im, re-fa'-im (repha'-im, from rapha', "a terrible one "hence "giant," in 1Ch_20:4, yelidhe ha-rapha', "sons of the giant"; the King James Version, Rephaims): A race of aboriginal or early inhabitants East of the Jordan in Ashterothkarnaim (Gen_14:5) and in the valley of Rephaim Southwest of Jerusalem (Jos_15:8). They associated with other giant races, as the Emim and Anakim (Deu_2:10-11) and the Zamzummim (Deu_2:20). It is probable that they were all of the same stock, being given different names by the different tribes who came in contact with them. The same Hebrew word is rendered "the dead," or "the shades" in various passages (Job_26:5 margin; Psa_88:10 margin; Pro_2:18 margin; Pro_9:18 margin; Pro_21:16 margin; Isa_14:9 margin; Isa_26:14, Isa_26:19 margin). In these instances the word is derived from rapheh, "weak," "powerless," "a shadow" or "shade

Could some of these be like Big Foot?

1Ch 20:4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.

1Ch 20:5 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

1Ch 20:6 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born unto the giant.

1Ch 20:7 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

1Ch 20:8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

CONQUEST OF THE GIANTS

Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

Gen 14:6 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

Gen 14:7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.

Jos 15:8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

Deu 2:10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

Deu 2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

Deu 2:12

Deu 2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; _{Zamzummims:
also called, Zuzims}

Deu 2:21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

GIANTS OF THE BIBLE

It is plainly stated that the Giants mentioned in the Bible have no resurrection: "O Lord our God, other lords [ giant rulers of canaan ] beside thee have had dominion over us, they are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased , they shall not rise: therefore thou has visited and destroyed them. Thy dead men (the dead of Gods people, ordinary man) shall live, together with my dead body shall they rise" Isa. 26:14-19 KJV

These Giants are already in hell, for Isaiah reveals that when the Antichrist is put into hell "THE DEAD" (Hebrew, rephaim) shall be stirred up to meet him" Isa.14:9. Substitute rephaim for dead also in Pro. 2:18; 9:18; 21:16. KJV.

The children of the second eruption of fallen angels were so great, mighty and tall, they inspire fear in the hearts of the ten spy's and all Israel. Num. 13:33; Deut. 2:10-23; 9:2

In Deut. 3:11, Og, one of these Bible giants, is mentioned as having a bedstead of iron about eighteen feet, nine inches long and eight feet, four inches wide. Goliath, whom David slew, was over thirteen feet high. His coat of mail weighed 196 pounds. His spearhead alone weighed twenty-five pounds (2nd Samuel 17). The spies that returned from Canaan said, "We were in our own sight as grasshoppers" as compared to the Giants.Numbers 13:33

In the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable by Brewer, pages 514-17, there is a list of Giants of mythology and of real life. Mr. Brewer lists over 60 giants, and their lengths run from about eight to eighteen feet. He also lists several giants whose bones have been discovered who were nineteen to thirty feet tall. Some giants of Mythology are spoken of as being 300 feet tall. We cannot depend upon mythology, but we can depend upon the statements of the Bible concerning giants. There were such beings and the stories of Mythology are no doubt corruption in transmission of the traditions and legends of the Bible Giant Races.

The cross-breeding of the sons of God and the daughters of men prove that Giants were not ordinary men and not the offspring of men. The giants were monsters of iniquity and were abnormal in size and character, which man could not have reproduced according to the law of reproduction given by God, which was that everything on Earth in nature should reproduce "after his own kind" Gen.1:21-25; 7:14; 8:19.

These Bible Giants were not of pure human stock. We also know the Bible Giants were not the product of ordinary godly men and ungodly women, for we see on every hand today such unions, and not one giant has ever been reproduced in such families. They were not saved or godly men, for God said of Noah in Gen, 7:1, "Thee have I seen righteous before me in this age".

Noah's sons were saved from death because they were pure human stock, not because they were godly men. Only Noah and his family had preserved their pedigree pure from Adam, and this is really why they were saved in the ark. It was said of Noah that he was a just man and perfect in his generations. Gen. 6:9.

The word perfect is from the Hebrew word tamin, which means without blemish, and is the technical word for bodily perfection, and not moral. hence, it's used of the sacrificial animals of the Old Testament that had to be pure stock and without blemish. Exo. 12:5; 20:1; Lev. 1:3; 2:1. KJV.

The purpose of satan in having fallen angels breed with the daughters of men was to corrupt the human race, and do away with pure Adamite stock so that Christ, the seed of the woman, could not come into the world as foretold as soon as God gave the "Rainbow of Promise" that he would never send another flood

Satan no doubt concluded that, because he had almost succeeded in doing away with pure Adamite stock before the flood and would have done it if God had not sent the flood. satan may succeed a second time since God had promised not to send another flood. He sent the second eruption of fallen angels to marry the daughters of men after the flood. They brought into being the Bible giants after the flood, as we have seen.

But, because God had promised not to send another flood to destroy these giants, he now planned to raise up Israel as a great nation and use them to destroy every man, woman, and child of the giant races in order to preserve pure Adamite stock in the earth as planned. two eruptions of fallen angels and the two races of giants in the earth is plainly taught in Gen. 6:4: "There were giants in the earth in those days [before the flood]; and also after that [after the flood], when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them". Thus the story of races of giants caused by the angels marrying the daughters of men is plain in scripture. These facts explain many statements concerning the war between God and satan and between Israel and satan in the Old Testament days, and Bible Giants give us the real cause of the flood of Noah that ended the dispensation of conscience

Insert on Enoch and the book of Giants

The Book of Giants 4Q203, 1Q23, 2Q26, 4Q530-532, 6Q8

It is fair to say that the patriarch Enoch was as well known to the ancients as he is obscure to modern Bible teachers. Besides giving his age (365 years), the book of Genesis says of him only that he "walked with God," and afterward "he was not, because God had taken him" (Gen. 5:24). This exalted way of life and mysterious demise made Enoch into a figure of considerable fascination, and a cycle of legends grew up around him.

Many of the legends about Enoch were collected already in ancient times in several long anthologies. The most important such anthology, and the oldest, is known simply as The Book of Enoch, comprising over one hundred chapters. It still survives in its entirety (although only in the Ethiopic language) and forms an important source for the thought of Judaism in the last few centuries B.C.E. Significantly, the remnants of several almost complete copies of The Book of Enoch in Aramaic were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it is clear that whoever collected the scrolls considered it a vitally important text. All but one of the five major components of the Ethiopic anthology have turned up among the scrolls. But even more intriguing is the fact that additional, previously unknown or little-known texts about Enoch were discovered at Qumran. The most important of these is The Book of Giants.

Enoch lived before the Flood, during a time when the world, in ancient imagination, was very different. Human beings lived much longer, for one thing; Enoch's son Methuselah, for instance, attained the age of 969 years. Another difference was that angels and humans interacted freely -- so freely, in fact, that some of the angels begot children with human females. This fact is neutrally reported in Genesis (6:1-4), but other stories view this episode as the source of the corruption that made the punishing flood necessary. According to The Book of Enoch, the mingling of angel and human was actually the idea of Shernihaza, the leader of the evil angels, who lured 200 others to cohabit with women. The offspring of these unnatural unions were giants 450 feet high. The wicked angels and the giants began to oppress the human population and to teach them to do evil. For this reason God determined to imprison the angels until the final judgment and to destroy the earth with a flood. Enoch's efforts to intercede with heaven for the fallen angels were unsuccessful (1 Enoch 6-16).

The Book of Giants retells part of this story and elaborates on the exploits of the giants, especially the two children of Shemihaza, Ohya and Hahya. Since no complete manuscript exists of Giants, its exact contents and their order remain a matter of guesswork. Most of the content of the present fragments concerns the giants' ominous dreams and Enoch's efforts to interpret them and to intercede with God on the giants' behalf. Unfortunately, little remains of the independent adventures of the giants, but it is likely that these tales were at least partially derived from ancient Near Eastern mythology. Thus the name of one of the giants is Gilgamesh, the Babylonian hero and subject of a great epic written in the third millennium B.C.E.
