Were there Giants on the earth? Did the sons of God come in unto the daughters of men?
Were there Giants on the earth
Were there Giants on the earth, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men.
1 Tim 4:1-2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Let’s have a look at one of these fables! But first lets uncover a few other nonsensical notions.
Gen 3:9-10 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Did the Lord God who created everything; by merely speaking them into existence, really not know what Adam had done?
Gen 4:9-10 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
God asks Cain, the first murderer, a similar question. Was He really not aware of what Cain had done?
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
To understand the sons of God and who this endearing term refers to; we will look at God’s own description of which people He considers His children. There is a clue early on in Genesis. The sons of God call upon the name of the Lord.
Let’s look at yet another verse taken out of context, it sets up the teaching of a prior people that God does not even refer to. Were there Giants on the earth the ones that created a separate creation apart from the one mentioned in Genesis?
Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
The fairy tale continues; and another verse is again used out of context. This one is a futile effort to support the fable of fallen angels having sexual relations with women, to create this other people where Cain found his wife. Were there Giants on the earth? Is this where Cain found his wife?
Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
The genealogy referred to in the Bible, does not include every one that is born. Before Seth was born we do not know how many other children were born, nor are we given any clue as to how much time passed between the birth of Abel and Seth.
Gen 5:1-3 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
Were there Giants on the earth? The generations listed in the above verse do not mention Cain or Able; enough said.
Gen 5:21-22 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Enoch walked with God, so he was a child of God; and could also be referred to as one of the sons of God.
Gen 6:1-2 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The sons of god were not to take wives of those that did not know God.
Ex 34:14-16 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Gen 24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Gen 28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Were there Giants on the earth? Were these daughters of Canaan from the fallen Angels?
The daughters of men are simply a reference to those who did not have a relationship with God.
The Giants in Genesis -Were there Giants on the earth?
Gen 6:4-5 There 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. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Below is a Strong’s breakdown of the words used in Genesis 6:4
There were giants <H5303> Giants or Tall people
in the earth <H776> Earth, land or country
in those days <H3117> at that day, or time
and also after <H310> after, or as the result of, has quite a different meaning from and also after, referring to a continuance of this occurrence

men <H582> certain men

Gen 6:4 (KJV)
The word Giants is used three times in the bible, and is simply a reference to a larger people (H5303). Were there Giants on the earth? This question can be answered in the affirmative.
Num 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Where there Giants on the earth? Yes they were very tall people, but they were just people.
They were the sons of Anak, not fallen Angels.
Deut 9:1-2Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
Who are the Sons of God
The reference to the Sons of God is simply a description given unto those who walked with God. To proclaim that the fallen Angels are the sons of God is not supported by logic or Scripture.
Gen 5:21-24 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Enoch walked with God; he and his offspring most likely were considered the sons of God.
Job 1:1-2 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
The notion that fallen angels would be able to present themselves before God is ludicrous. The fallen Angels were cast down to Hell.
Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Ex 29:45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Deut 14:1-2 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
Matt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Romans 8:15-16 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Gal 3:26-29 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Gal 4:5-7To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Were there Giants on the earth? What is the nature of Angels?
Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Unless you consider Jesus Christ a liar; fallen Angels can never have sexual relations with humans.
Heb 1:4-5 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
None of the Angels were ever considered the sons of God.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Heb 1:13-14But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Angels are spiritual beings, and only God’s Angels are given the power to minister to his Elect.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
There is an incredible difference between the nature of man and Angels.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Luke 24:39-40 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
Angels are spiritual beings and do not have true physicality, except for when God allows it. Angels are God’s ministers to his people. The interaction of Satan’s fallen Angels with humans is not mentioned anywhere in Scripture.
Psalms 104:4-5 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
Heb 1:7-8 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:13-14 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
1 Peter 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
All of the angels who were created to serve Him are under his control. Those that fell away were condemned to Hell.
To imagine then that the fallen ones could become human, that is to be creators, and have sexual relations with God’s creation is simply absurd
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
There is nothing to suggest the fallen angels have any power at all.
Jude 1:5-6 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Rev 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The reference to angels is used 186 times in the New Testament, and only five verses are in reference to Satan and or his angels (2 Cor 11:4; 2 Cor 12:7; Rev 9:11; Rev 12:9).
There is not one verse in the entire Bible referring to any fallen Angel other than Satan, having any interrelation with God’s creation.
Gen 6:6-7 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 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.
Also note God’s plan to destroy mankind for their wickedness. If there was a group of Giant supernatural fallen Angels that also had a part in a wicked creation, He would have mentioned them as well?
2 Tim 3:5-7Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Were there Giants on the earth- link
Giants yes.
As Adam came forth from the hand of his Creator he was of noble height and of beautiful symmetry. He was more than twice as tall as men now living upon the earth, and was well proportioned.” —The Story of Redemption, p. 21.
More remarkable than the large size of these antediluvian “men of renown,” however, were the long lives recorded of those we now call patriarchs. Nine of those who preceded Noah attained more than seven hundred years of age; some approached a thousand (see Gen. 5:4-31).
What could one do with such a lifespan? Ellen White writes, “Not with standing the wickedness of the antediluvian world, that age was not, as has often been supposed, an era of ignorance and barbarism. The people were granted the opportunity of reaching a high standard of moral and intellectual attainment. . . . Could illustrious scholars of our time be placed in contrast with men of the same age who lived before the Flood, they would appear as greatly inferior in mental as in physical strength. As the years of man have decreased, and his physical strength has diminished, so his mental capacities have lessened. There are men who now apply themselves to study during a period of from twenty to fifty years, and the world is filled with admiration of their attainments. But how limited are these acquirements in comparison with those of men whose mental and physical powers were developing for centuries.” —Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 82, 83. What about the level of technology before the Flood? “There perished in the Flood greater inventions of art and human skill than the world knows of to day”—The SDA Bible Commentary, Ellen G. White Comments, on Gen. 6:4, p. 1089. The servant of God adds, “More was lost in the Flood, in many ways, than men today know.”
Did angels fallen or otherwise have sex and breed with humans? NO.
DID FALLEN ANGELS HAVE SEX WITH WOMEN TO CREATE THE NEPHILIM?
Some say the “sons of God” are fallen angels, who had sex with women to create the Nephilim, or “giants in the earth.” They do all this by using the following verse…
Genesis 6:4, “There 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.”
First, the word “giants” is translated as follows…
Strongs # H5303
נפל נפיל nephîyl nephil nef-eel’, nef-eel’
From H5307; properly, a feller, that is, a bully or tyrant: – giant.
It is obvious where the word “Nephilim” came from that is used in bibles other then the King James. However, it appears the proper definition is more apt to be declaring they were bullies rather then men of gigantic proportions. Or “larger then life” as some are called today. This also shows how the devil can easily distort a single word in the bible to generate a totally different outcome. Back then, the word “giant” had one meaning, today another. The “cultural” changes of language and even slang terms cause people that are unaware of this fact of life to use their own understandings of these words to decipher Scripture. The Word of God is thousands of years old and cannot be defined by today’s languages. To do so is to assume to be able to understand ancient terminology. Without understanding what the words meant to the people in the day it was penned, you cannot possibly know what the truth is on any given topic if in fact that topic carries a word changed by modern man. So be careful when studying the Word of God. It can be a gold mine of wonderful truths if handled correctly.
After researching the word “Nephilim” a little more to close the case on this, I found it to be a word adopted via the Apocryphal book of Enoch which was later placed in Strong’s Concordance and other bible dictionaries as if it was a word used in the original King James Bible. When the word is examined in all formats (dictionary, Strong’s Concordance, Encyclopedias, bible commentaries, etc) it proves the word “giants” in Genesis 6:4 is still better translated using words of today like, “bullies, cruel, terrible, sinister, felons, etc” Only in man’s “opinion” do we hear this strange concoction of demonic monsters raping women. Nowhere in Scriptures does such an account find validity.
Using a time sensitive context viewpoint on this we see that when you look at the meek and gentle people of God in contrast to the, fighters, bullies, and felons of the Nephilim, we find they would indeed appear as giants because of their strange and hateful ways that “overpower” the meek. Something the gentle people of God saw as strange and “larger then life” I’m sure, because being lead of God they would naturally walk in a more loving manner. Scientific fact is, before the flood, all people were “giants” in the true sense of the word by today’s standard. Men were on average 16 feet tall and women around 14 feet. After the flood, mankind lost a lot more then years of life. They lost their magnificent stature as well. To further illustrate my findings regarding the word “giants” in Genesis 6:4. The Easton Bible Dictionary’s first definition of “giants” is as follows…
(1.) Heb. nephilim, meaning “violent” or “causing to fall” (Gen. 6:4). These were the violent tyrants of those days, those who fell upon others. The word may also be derived from a root signifying “wonder,” and hence “monsters” or “prodigies.” In Num. 13:33 this name is given to a Canaanitish tribe, a race of large stature, “the sons of Anak.” The Revised Version, in these passages, simply transliterates the original, and reads “Nephilim.”
If you investigate the word “giants ” in Genesis 6:4 you will find it speaks more of their “attitude” size rather then their “physical” size.
One last thing. As many are aware, we have entered into the last days. History is literally repeating itself in the way Jesus described this earth would be today. It is most assuredly like the “days of Noah” is it not? I can clearly see that there are again “giants” in the land when I look around and see people who follow the way of Cain that are bold in their sin against the Lord and each other. They are again filling the earth with all sorts of sin and violence just like in Noah’s day just before the flood. Their actions are of course bringing on their own final judgment as it was in Noah’s day. The cup of iniquity is nearing the brim speedily. Man is willfully placing their sinful pleasures above God and His peace. Problem is, there is no second chance after this great and dreadful day. When I look around with Christian eyes, I too see “giants in the land.”
As for the “sons of God” in Genesis 6:4 being translated to depict fallen angels. Common sense has to be graphically called upon here to ask the question. Would God call fallen angels the sons of God? Some say the “sons of God” are good angels as well. However, Mark 12:25 says we will be like Angels that can’t “marry” when Heaven starts…
Mark 12:25, “For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.”
So, if the “sons of God” are now good angels in Genesis 6:4, they are now committing adultery and or fornication by having sex with women without marriage.
Who are the “sons of God” according to your bibles? Read the following passages most that preach “sons of God = angels” never seem to share…
John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:19, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”
Philippians 2:15, “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
1 John 3:1, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.”
1 John 3:2, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Does this series of passages describe fallen angels? Or is it describing the followers of God? The Sons of God were, and still are the people of God. They sinned in that they took women to wife that God specifically commanded against. It’s that simple.
Also see this study… http://biblelight.net/nephilim.htm
Then what do we have here in verse 4? As I see it, Genesis is a book of genealogies—it is a book of the families. The sons of God are the godly line who have come down from Adam through Seth, and the daughters of men belong to the line of Cain. What you have here now is an intermingling and intermarriage of these two lines, until finally the entire line is totally corrupted (well, not totally; there is one exception). That is the picture that is presented to us here.

We also read in 1st Corinthians 15:39-40, “All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.” There you have it … celestial (heavenly) and terrestrial (earthly) are NOT compatible. Just as a fish cannot breed with a horse, or a cow with a whale, so cannot a fallen angel breed with a woman. Also, Jesus clearly taught that the angels are NOT given in marriage (Matthew 22:30). We know that there were giants in the Old Testament; but as seen with Goliath the Philistine (1st Samuel 17:4), he was only 9′ 6″ tall (not 450 feet).
Giants in the Old Testament were NOT the result of fallen angels marrying human women. And think about this, if fallen angels did have physical relations with earthly women, then why doesn’t it occur today? There is no such thing as a succubus or an incubus (i.e. sexual relations between demons and humans). Furthermore, how could a woman give birth to a normal size baby that would then grow to be as tall as half the length of a football field? ‘Com on, please be real. Although the Bible does contain may miraculous and startling events (e.g., the flood), they are all explainable and have rationale. Where are the skeletal remains of those 450-feet tall monsters? It is clear that many unsaved scholars today are trying to discredit the Bible as a book of fables, which is what the Book of Enoch certainly is. The Word of God is untouchable, unchangeable, and incorruptible!
“Were there Giants on the earth?”
Yes, giant is an adjective and only a noun in the first person eg as a nick name, never as a noun alone,.. we have giant buildings, we have giant people, we have giant whales, we have giant counties, eg Russia and China. And it’s a relative adjective eg, from a child’s perspective an adult is a giant. The bible does not elaborate on what it means by giant, so is meaningless.
“Did the sons of God come in unto the daughters of men?”
The sons of God = The offspring of Adam, the first man and Lilith, the first women.
The daughters of men = The offspring of Adam and his cloned transgendered rib called stEve.
Men will shag anything when pissed.
