The Nephilim Corrupted the Planet
Interestingly, the Book of Enoch, with its heavy emphasis on angels, does not say much about the giants of the antediluvian world.
“1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.” – 1 Enoch 7:1–6
The Bible provides this same information when the Lord decried the damage the incursion of fallen angels had wrought and the wickedness of the Nephilim:
“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” – Genesis 6:11–13
Interestingly, when Noah and his family exited the ark after the Flood ended, the first law the Lord issued was a prohibition on drinking blood:
“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” – Genesis 9:1–4
So, although the text in Genesis does not explicitly say the Nephilim were eating flesh and drinking blood, it was enough of an issue for the Creator to mention as soon as the earth’s population restarted. Other Bible passages involving the Nephilim allude to the eating of humans. The 12 spies Moses sent to scout the Promised Land saw the infamous sons of Anak, giants living among the people there. The sight of these Nephilim so scared 10 of the unbelieving spies that they no longer believed the Lord could deliver the land to them. In their frightened account they stated:
“But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.” – Numbers 13:31–32
Not satisfied with assaulting the human gene pool, the giants also defiled animals – a point recorded in the extra-biblical Book of Jasher:
“And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them.” – Book of Jasher 3:18–19
Although the Bible does not specifically report angels’ teaching humanity “the mixture of animals of one species with the other,” Scripture provides sufficient evidence to conclude that something sinful took place with animals in addition to human beings during the reign of the sons of God and their Nephilim offspring. When God pronounced judgment during the days of Noah, He specifically included animals:
“And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” – Genesis 6:7
“And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.” – Genesis 6:17
In the above verses God stressed that all flesh – both human and animal – was polluted by the angelic-Nephilim invasion. Just as God repented of making humanity, He also repented of making beasts, creeping things, and birds. Recall that in the Mosaic Law the Lord specifically outlawed the “gendering” or cross-breeding of animals, precisely what the Book of Jasher accused the sons of God of teaching humanity. And as we saw in the chapter on God’s genetic order, the instructions God gave to Noah in Genesis 6 and 7 specifically called for only animals after their kind to be taken into the ark:
“But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.” – Genesis 6:18–20
The Lord returned the animal world to its original genetic state. Just as animals were originally created “after their kind,” God told Noah to include only those animals who remained genetically pure “to keep seed alive.”
We find yet another confirmation of the satanic hybridization that took place before the Flood in the book of Revelation. When the fallen angelic hordes are released from the abyss or tartarus, the current prison of the wicked sons of Gods, they appear as hybrid creatures:
“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power… And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.” – Revelation 9:1–3; 7–10
The bizarre description of these creatures who are freed from their prison to torment sinners on Earth is reminiscent of minotaurs, centaurs, and other hybrid creatures of mythology. These “locusts” have faces like men, hair like women, and the ferocious teeth of lions. They have scorpion tails and can fly. These demonic hordes will no doubt frighten the world living in the Great Tribulation just as the giants frightened the humans living in the days of Noah. The preponderance of biblical evidence points to the conclusion that the genetic corruption brought on by the sons of God and the Nephilim affected humanity and animals alike.
The Nephilim, murderous cannibals who hated God and anything related to the prophesied Messiah, were unbridled evil. They corrupted the antediluvian world to the point that humanity’s very existence was in peril. Even the animal kingdom was victimized and turned into monstrosities. The world was literally transforming into Satan’s kingdom. But there was one man who trusted in the True and Living God and knew the seed of Satan would not win this cosmic war. Heeding the prophecies handed down from his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, this man knew the Lord was going to strike back in a manner the world had never seen before. And only the handful of believers left on Earth would survive. Noah, a preacher in a sinful world, knew the reign of the fallen angels and Nephilim was coming to an earth-shattering and unexpected end.
