Paul warned about giving heed to ‘Jewish fables.’ The fables about supernatural hybrid nephilim are bunk.
“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”
The judaizers and heretics have mind-poisoned Christianity with fables about the Nephilim, not knowing that the book of Genesis is propecy of Christ rather than primordial origins. The Apostles understood this, and were witness to his majesty.
The nephilim are not ‘fallen angels’ or hybrids.
The nephilim are the ‘fallen’ [Heb. palal] those who have rebelled against their maker. The nephilim are also the ‘mighty’ or ‘tyrants’ [Heb. nephil] because of their authoritarianism in the absence of divine temper. The word ‘nephilim’ is cognate to the Aramaic for ‘Orion’ the mighty hunter, which is Nimrod the mighty hunter, and Nimrod means, ‘rebel’ or ‘traitor’. Nephilim is used to describe the nations which reject God but have mighty organizing principles and build empires. It is a description of imperialist Christianity, which is run by Nimrod (the papacy).
The nephilim occur both before and after the flood of Noah. Nephilim is related to ‘clouds’ which is a symbol for a people with a thriving government system. Thus Jesus will appear in the ‘clouds’ which is a metaphor for among many vibrant and active empires or states.
Along with their imperialist masters, the synagogues of Israel before Christ were part of the nephilim unions before the flood (Roman-Jewish wars).
The churches and nations after Christ are the nephilim unions after the flood.
Jesus was the ark that carried Noah and his family (the ekklesia) through the flood to dry ground while the unbelieving Jews were over flooded by the Roman armies. Every living creature [institution, government] died in the flood. The government of Judea was ground to powder, every institution destroyed. In the Greek ‘creature’ is sometime rendered by ‘ktisis’ which means an institution, or court, or body of a government of a nation.
“Preach the gospel to every living creature (nation).”
Congregations of people are the ‘nephilim’. Nephilim is used as a corporate term for groups. Nephilim is not a biological identity. Nephilim are the produce of a spiritual union of different corporate bodies, not a hybrid organism as claimed by Jewish fables.
Nephilim is described as ‘giants’ because in this context and nuance it is groups of tyrants or ‘mighty men’, aka imperialists who want to use religion and politics to rule over others, often for ill. The imperial model is the ‘mighty man’ or tyrant, or the big tall tree in Eden (the Assyrian as a cedar).
The Christian churches and Christian nations are the fallen angels or nephilim. They started out as ‘sons of god’ and ‘took wives’ of the daughters of men (kings, nations) and produced ‘offspring’ of the Holy Roman Empire variety. The Papacy is the King of Assyria, and Nebuchadnezzar, and the King of Tyre, and the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Nephilim are the many imperial nations produced by the union of church and state, church and corporation, and corporation and state, as these forms of governance are the ‘living creatures’ in the ‘garden’ of Eden.
The Church denominations and the many political organizations in bed with them and the societies they engender are the ‘nephilim’ families.
God planted a ‘garden’ in ‘Eden’. Garden is from ‘gan’ or ‘ganon’ which means a hedge or boundary. Eden is an ancient word for ‘nations’ and the proto-Greek ETNA is related to EDEN, which gave us the Greek ETHNA or ETHNAS meaning nations. Eve [Heb., chavva] is the mother of every ‘living creature’. She is the mother of NATIONS. The garden of Eden [Heb., edan or edna | Gk. etna] is a garden of NATIONS. When Jehovah told Adam to ‘dress and keep’ the garden the words intimate putting up hedges of defense or boundaries. Thus it is written that Jehovah created the nations and, set ‘the BOUNDS of their habitation.’
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;”
Adam is the symbol of the one SPIRITUAL blood (Christ). “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.” When Moses gives us the history of Adam, it is not the intent of Moses for us to read it as the history of Adam. It is the intent of Moses for us to foresee what Adam symbolizes, the man Jesus Christ. Even when Moses tells us about himself, he could care less whether or not anyone understands Moses … he wants them to see how god has chosen Moses to represent someone greater in the distant future.
For many centuries readers have erroneously interpreted the Genesis scroll as a literal history book of primordial antiquity. This is not the context of Genesis. Genesis is a prophecy book (like Revelation) that was written to tell a far distant future:
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.” [Isaiah 46]
We are living in that future foretold by Moses. Genesis speaks to us about our day and age.
Our current age is the age of Genesis. The creation of Genesis began at the cross of Jesus Christ and its days are ages. We are in those days or ages.
Moses and other Old Testament prophets drew from ancestral histories and cobbled together elements of those histories using poetic symbolism to tell us the future of the whole world that God had already planned and showed to those men. None of the prophets intended for their scriptures to be history lessons. They were PROPHETS who tell the FUTURE, not historians.
Fast forward to the Apostles like Paul, who could see some of the future, and especially John the Beloved, who really saw deep into the future. Those men were walking in the vocation of the earlier prophets by telling what God is going to do. The good news, or the gospel, is what God is going to do. The gospel is not about what man will do. It is about God establishing his Kingdom and bringing men into it.
God planted a garden of nations: Christendom.
The angels or sons of God fell: Churches apostatized.
The churches or sons of God took wives of the daughters of men: nations.
These church-state unions produced tyrants: monarchs, plutocrats, nobility, corporations, orders, agencies, etc.
When you read Genesis and the Old Testament you should see that it is about the creation that began with Jesus Christ at golgatha, and how Christendom apostatized from what Jesus originally established.
Stop reading it as primordial history. The primordial history parts are just patchwork symbols for a much more encompassing meaning of the narrative. The unbelieving and self-serving love to have endless disputes about these ancient genealogies which turn away from the truth: Genesis is not the ancient beginning. Genesis is the future told before the Beginning was born in Bethlehem.
