⚓ Floatie: The Ancient Shadows Still Linger
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.(ESV)
Before the flood, the earth wasn’t just filled with sin—it was corrupted by supernatural rebellion. And it didn’t end there. The same war continued after the waters receded.
✒️ Forge: A Pattern of Corruption and Counterfeit
The First Incursion
In Genesis 6, the “sons of God” (bene elohim) took human women as wives and bore children—the Nephilim, giants with unnatural strength and authority. These weren’t just large humans. They were hybrids—a genetic corruption of God’s design.
The phrase “and also afterward” is the key.
It means whatever happened before the flood happened again afterward—a second incursion, a recurring infiltration.
This aligns with Jude 1:6–7, which tells us that some angels left their proper domain and are now bound in chains for what they did—sexual sin, not just rebellion.
Jude 1:6-7 (6)And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— (7)just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.(ESV)
The Flood Didn’t Stop It
If the flood wiped out all the Nephilim, how did they reappear? There are two primary theories:
- Genetic Contamination via Ham’s Wife
If Ham’s wife had latent Nephilim DNA, one or more of her children could have carried the corrupted bloodline.
But this doesn’t explain why only Canaan was cursed. If Cush, Mizraim, or Put had the same corruption, they’d also be targets of judgment. - A Second Angelic Breach Post-Flood
More likely, the fallen angels attempted a second genetic assault—possibly through possession, deception, or another direct interference with humanity.
The target? Canaan’s line.
This theory fits the biblical narrative:
- Canaan is the only son of Ham cursed by Noah (Genesis 9:25)
- Canaanite tribes are the only ones marked for extermination by God (Deuteronomy 20:16–18)
- These tribes contain the giants: Anakim, Rephaim, Zamzummim, Emim, etc.
The genetic infection wasn’t global this time. It was localized, and God sent Israel as the scalpel to remove it.
Goliath and the Remnant of the Rephaim
Fast-forward to David. The giants of Gath—Goliath and his brothers—were likely descendants of the Rephaim, a Nephilim remnant.
David wasn’t just slaying a warrior. He was continuing God’s war against a spiritual infection that began before the flood.
The bloodline wasn’t just about size. It carried spiritual authority and hatred for God’s people.
Theological Pushback: Can Angels Reproduce?
Some argue that angels are asexual, referencing Matthew 22:30.
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.(ESV)
But notice—Jesus didn’t say angels can’t have sex. He said they don’t marry.
And Genesis 6 is clear:
- These beings took wives (not rape)
- The offspring were real, physical hybrids
- Their impact was catastrophic
Also consider:
- Angels appeared as men throughout the Bible.
- The men of Sodom wanted to rape the angels visiting Lot.
- Every appearance of an angel in Scripture assumes a male form with a physical presence.
- Lack of female angel references doesn’t mean they don’t exist—it means they weren’t used in those missions.
To deny the possibility of angelic reproduction is to ignore the clear context of Genesis 6 and the spiritual war that has unfolded across the entire Bible.
⚒️ Anvil: The Real Enemy Still Breathes
This story isn’t mythology. It’s a war record.
- Satan knew that the Seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15) would crush him.
- So he tried to corrupt the seed through interbreeding and counterfeit power.
- God destroyed the world to stop it once.
- Then He raised up Israel as a weapon to finish the job.
And David, the giant-killer, would one day be the ancestor of Jesus, the true giant-slayer—the one who crushed the serpent’s head for good.
The Nephilim are a footnote in our Bibles but a headline in the devil’s war plan.
If you’re not watching for counterfeits, you’re vulnerable.
If you think giants are just in fairy tales, you’re already losing.
🔥 Ember: A Return to Innocence
I spent more than a decade with a dislocated rib. A freak injury—mishandled by work comp, dismissed by doctors, and ignored by nearly everyone.
Almost every laugh, every cough, every step, every sigh—hurt.
Badly.
I love to laugh. I always have.
But for eleven years, laughter came with pain. And that pain slowly poisoned my joy.
Still, I survived. But I wasn’t the same.
In that pain, I came to understand something: Evil always tries to corrupt what is good. And pain will always try to steal your joy.
God didn’t remove the pain right away.
But He taught me to laugh again—not because the pain was gone, but because it didn’t own me anymore.
When Jesus crushed the serpent’s head, He crushed every counterfeit identity, every lie, every pain that tried to redefine who we were.
Laughter is my rebellion.
It’s proof that the enemy didn’t win.
🌿 Covenant Triumph: A King Greater Than David
David took down Goliath. But Jesus took down death.
The giants were never just about war. They were about identity.
They were the devil’s counterfeit of what God calls “sons of God.”
But the true Son of God didn’t come from a mountain of flesh and pride.
He came in humility. He descended instead of ascended. He bled instead of boasting.
And in that humility, He disarmed every principality and power.
Jesus didn’t just kill a giant.
He destroyed the bloodline of rebellion forever.
