Return of the Nephilim and The Alien Abduction Connection, Pt. 1 Quick Review
In Return of the Nephilim and The Alien Abduction Connection, pt. 1, we checked out several different branches of Nephilim/Rephaim/Anunaki occurring throughout Scripture — both in the days of Noah (the pre-Antediluvian period), as well as after the flood.
We also checked out the root (Hebrew) meaning of sons of God (b’nai Elohim/bene Elohim), as it pertains to the four times that it occurs in the Old Testament.
Part 2: Introduction
The Book of Joshua is interesting in that while it concludes Yahveh’s promise to deliver His people into the Promised Land, it is also the only whole book of the Bible dedicated to the (post-Antediluvian) wholesale extermination of the Nephilim/ Rephaim/Anunaki.
Upon reading it, you will discover the great lengths the Israelites had to go through just to inhabit the Promised Land. Interestingly, the Israelites (once again) did not carry out Yahveh’s wishes – namely, to exterminate ALL of the remaining Nephilim/Rephaim (see Judges 1:28, 3:5-7; Joshua 16:10).
While Christians must never underestimate Satan and his co-conspirators, Yahveh is our shield and strong tower (and will always give us the means and strength to overcome, if we put our whole trust in Him):
After this there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was one of the descendants of the giants. And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, the Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was descended from the giants.
And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, slew him. These four were descended from the giants in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.”
- II Samuel 21:18-22
The Antiquities of the Jews on the Watchers/Nephilim
Flavius Josephus was a Jewish historian (and later chosen to be the Galilean commander-in-chief at Jerusalem by the Sanhedrin). He lived from 37 A.D. ~ 101 A.D. This is what he archived concerning the pre-Antidiluvian period, the sons of God, and the Nephilim:
1. NOW this posterity of Seth continued to esteem God as the Lord of the universe, and to have an entire regard to virtue, for seven generations; but in process of time they were perverted, and forsook the practices of their forefathers; and did neither pay those honors to God which were appointed them, nor had they any concern to do justice towards men.
But for what degree of zeal they had formerly shown for virtue, they now showed by their actions a double degree of wickedness, whereby they made God to be their enemy. For many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants.
But Noah was very uneasy at what they did; and being displeased at their conduct, persuaded them to change their dispositions and their acts for the better: but seeing they did not yield to him, but were slaves to their wicked pleasures, he was afraid they would kill him, together with his wife and children, and those they had married; so he departed out of that land.
- The Antiquities of the Jews, Flavius Josephus (Book 1, Ch. 3, Sec. 1)
Additional Ancient Jewish Insights to the Watchers/Nephilim
And he testified to the Watchers [the fallen Angels/bene Elohim], who had sinned with the daughters of men; for these had begun to unite themselves, so as to be defiled, with the daughters of men, and Enoch testified against (them) all.
And he was taken from amongst the children of men, and we conducted him into the Garden of Eden in majesty and honour, and behold there he writes down the condemnation and judgment of the world, and all the wickedness of the children of men.
And on account of it (God) brought the waters of the flood upon all the land of Eden; for there he was set as a sign and that he should testify against all the children of men, that he should recount all the deeds of the generations until the day of condemnation.
And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.
And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth −all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.
And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had corrupted its orders, and all that were upon the earth had wrought all manner of evil before His eyes. And He said that He would destroy man and all flesh upon the face of the earth which He had created.
But Noah found grace before the eyes of the Lord. And against the angels whom He had sent upon the earth, He was exceedingly wroth, and He gave commandment to root them out of all their dominion, and He bade us to bind them in the depths of the earth, and behold they are bound in the midst of them, and are (kept) separate.
And against their sons [the Nephilim] went forth a command from before His face that they should be smitten with the sword, and be removed from under heaven. And He said ‘My spirit shall not always abide on man; for they also are flesh and their days shall be one hundred and twenty years’.
And He sent His sword into their midst that each should slay his neighbour, and they began to slay each other till they all fell by the sword and were destroyed from the earth.
And their fathers [the fallen Angels] were witnesses (of their destruction), and after this they were bound in the depths of the earth for ever, until the day of the great condemnation, when judgment is executed on all those who have corrupted their ways and their works before the Lord.
And He destroyed all from their places, and there was not left one of them whom He judged not according to all their wickedness. And he made for all his works a new and righteous nature, so that they should not sin in their whole nature for ever, but should be all righteous each in his kind alway.
And the judgment of all is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets in righteousness −even (the judgment of) all who depart from the path which is ordained for them to walk in; and if they walk not therein, judgment is written down for every creature and for every kind.
And there is nothing in heaven or on earth, or in light or in darkness, or in Sheol or in the depth, or in the place of darkness (which is not judged); and all their judgments are ordained and written and engraved.
In regard to all He will judge,the great according to his greatness, and the small according to his smallness, and each according to his way.
And he told them of the judgment of the giants, and the judgment of the Sodomites, how they had been judged on account of their wickedness, and had died on account of their fornication, and uncleanness, and mutual corruption through fornication.
- Jubilees 4:22-25; 5: 1-16; 20:5
And all the sons of men departed from the ways of the Lord in those days as they multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons and daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices and they continued sinning against the Lord.
And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered every man his neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled with violence.
And their judges and rulers [the Nephilim 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.
And all men who walked in the ways of the Lord, died in those days, before the Lord brought the evil upon man which he had declared, for this was from the Lord, that they should not see the evil which the Lord spoke of concerning the sons of men.
- Jasher 4:16-20 [emphases mine]
For even in the beginning, when arrogant giants were perishing, the hope of the world fled for refuge on a raft and, piloted by your hand, left to the world the seed of a new generation.
- Wisdom 14:6
In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire. He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness. Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride.
- Ecclesiasticus 16:6-8
There were the giants famous from the beginning, that were of so great stature, and so expert in war. Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave he the way of knowledge unto them: But they were destroyed, because they had no wisdom, and perished through their own foolishness.
- Baruch 3:26-28
The Gentiles went astray, and forsook the Lord, and changed their order, and obeyed stocks and stones, spirits of deceit.
But ye shall not be so, my children, recognizing in the firmament, in the earth, and in the sea, and in all created things, the Lord who made all things, that ye become not as Sodom, which changed the order of nature.
In like manner the Watchers also changed the order of their nature, whom the Lord cursed at the flood, on whose account he made the earth without inhabitants and fruitless.
- T. Naph. 3:3-5
No study of the ancient Jewish texts concerning the Watchers/Nephilim would be complete without a thorough examination of 1 Book of Enoch Ch. 6-16.
A Broader Look At Satan’s Agenda Concerning The Watchers/Nephilim
I’d like to conclude pt.2 of the Return of the Nephilim and The Alien Abduction Connection series by examining an excerpt from Phaeton, The Lost Planet (Ch. 7), by J. Timothy Unruh (dark blue comments in brackets “[ ]” are my own):
In the days of Noah, men were rapidly multiplying on the Earth, and by implanting their own “seed’ in humanity these malignant beings might be able to enlist in only one generation a vast multitude as allies against God.
It was an ingenious way to effectively contaminate and make filthy the entire human race so that God’s seed, Messiah, could not come to offer eternal salvation. So these “sons of God” saw the daughters of men and “took them wives (literal translation: ‘women’) of all which they chose.”
[In other words, these women were raped – violently, most likely; not '”married” in the conventional sense, by any means]
With the demoniacal ungodliness of the antediluvians in general, coupled with the irruption of the Serpent’s seed directly into large numbers of the human race, and then with the thrusting forth of hordes of the monstrous offspring of these unlawful unions, conditions in the world became finally intolerable even to a God of compassion and long-suffering.
[Hence why it simply makes the mind reel when our Lord and Savior describes the events of His return as likened to “the days of Noah”.]
Thus, such a scenario made the necessity of the catastrophic judgment of the Flood all the more sensible and necessary.
One of the most amazing facts revealed by paleontology (the study of fossilized remains of creatures which inhabited the Earth in bygone ages) is that nearly all modern animals have larger ancient counterparts.
Among these have been found fossils of mammoths, large bears, giant insects, sea creatures, and huge reptiles like the dinosaurs.
Along with these are occasionally found giant human footprints, suggesting that indeed, “there were giants in the earth in those days.” Not only in the Bible, but in numerous other ancient books, are preserved traditions of giants.
With such a uniform testimony from ancient tradition, and with paleontological evidence as well, it is a superficial sophistication which ignores the possibility that these data may contain primitive reflections of the real events and characters described historically in the Genesis record.
When the Israelites first arrived in the promised land they thus encountered the Nephilim, that progeny of the second recorded outbreak of demonic conceptions.
[See the Book of Joshua for a detailed account]
In reality the population of the land was literally infested with these strange beings and their families, and as if by higher design they were “pre-planted” there, in place, waiting for the arrival of the Israelites in order that they might be a vexation to them.
In consideration of the promised Seed who was to come out of the Israelites the ominous presence of the Nephilim makes all the more sense, and all the more strategic, as well, that the Israelites obey fully the command of God that the whole race of the Canaanites be totally extirpated. Some of the accounts of their destruction at the hands of the Israelite warriors are most graphic.
[Also, it is interesting to note that from the beginning, Satan's plan was to thwart the coming of the Messiah; this time around, it is to “make war with the saints” (Daniel 7:21, Revelation 13:7), and to cause all humans to worship him, with great wrath:
“for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall be; and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.”
- Matthew 24:22
The other huge difference, is that now we have transgenics (attempting to be as God with genetically modified organisms – including plants, animals, and yes – even humans).
Not to mention the huge push toward transhumanism, and technological singularity:
And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die; but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil (emphasis mine).
- Genesis 3:4,5
If you thought the conditions were ripe in Noah's day for a massive proliferation of Nephilim, how WAY much more so today!]
– J. Timothy Unruh goes on to say:
One specific account illustrating the means whereby the Israelites were to carry out God’s mandate is found in I Samuel 15:3: “Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”
Such descriptions of wholesale slaughter from, of all things, the Holy Bible, often breach the sensitivities of the reader, if not his very sensibilities.
Even some of our learned expositors literally stumble in the pulpit as they dare give even a brief treatment for this verse of abject carnage, and it is usually delivered in a timid and almost apologizing manner, lest there be in the congregation before him a tender footed believer who might stumble at the hearing of this “harsh posture and abject atrocity” on behalf of our benevolent and loving God.
Often nothing more is said than “well uh, we may not understand all of these things, but we can rest assured that God is still a just God in spite of this, and uh…”
Hence the matter is usually left at that with no one really grasping the deep significance of the passage. Indeed it is true that God, of a certainty, is consistent in His righteous integrity, judgment, and loving kindness.
Yet, when the hideous and treacherous nature of the Canaanites is truly comprehended [the descendants of the Nephilim/Rephaim/Anunaki] then the purpose in the movement of God and His people against these enemies, and the wholesale destruction of the same, takes on a whole new meaning, significance, and justification.
[He is in direct reference to the Canaanites being the descendants of the Nephilim/ Rephaim/Anunaki]
The utterly ungodly identity, nature, and purpose of these exceedingly depraved murderous inhabitants becomes chillingly authentic when their origins and heredity is realized.
The interest and popularity of the UFO-alien enigma has become so great in the last few years that television, radio, and the printed media are rife with features about these occurrences.
The whole affair is very real but, in reality, it is not what it is purported to be and is not what most people think it is. The anatomy of sin is deception and much deception is released by Satan and his cohorts into the mainstream of humanity for consumption. It is compatible with human nature to believe it.
This modified variety of demonic intervention, and possession, is nothing more than a deceptive attempt by demonic advocates of a fallen angelic order to supplant the body, soul, and spirit of man as a dwelling place of God and to pervert and turn man against God, thus doing Satan’s “dirty work” for him, in overturning God’s created order on Earth.
[Though Satan never changes, the alien conspiracy “tools of the trade” do.
So now, given the ever-increasing proliferation of UFO sightings, alien abduction stories , and alien abduction research – from the 40's to the present - Satan's got the perfect “cover story” to create an even far more devastating (return of) Nephilim army. It probably won't be long before we're being bombarded with alien abduction insurance ads on TV!]
– Mr. Unruh goes on to say:
The solemn fact is that the essential doctrines of the old pagan philosophers are even now subtly and widely permeating the western world, in spite of its education and scientific progress, and are captivating multitudes who would boast of intellectual superiority to the “poor heathen.”
For even some who would call themselves Christian today the Scriptures say “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” (I Timothy 4:1).
[Very reminiscent of people who attempt to interpret certain Bible passages (the big one being Ezekiel Ch. 1, and Ch 10 – Ezekiel's Wheel/Ezekiel's vision) as being Biblical 'proof' of UFO sightings; when in fact, these passages have nothing to do with UFO's]
Now that much of mankind is laced with drugs, the occult, and the “new age-new world order” deception, the human race is ripe for the greatest conspiracy and deception of all time, a great “public disclosure,” perfectly fitted to our time, that “we have made contact” and are being visited by “aliens from outer space.”
[Of which the Vatican has been deftly preparing it's followers for]
Many who claim to have had encounters with UFO’s have reported that these objects seem to be more alive and intelligent than just mechanical craft.
Given that our atmosphere is literally swarming with advocates of “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2; 6:12) it should come as no surprise that there might be an occasional visible manifestation of such a presence.
The fallen angels have shadowed humanity ever since Satan deceived our first parents in Eden. Meanwhile God’s Holy angels, in even greater numbers, continue as ministering spirits on behalf of God’s people (Hebrews 1:14), and signal the ultimate victory over evil.
Even though the so called “extraterrestrials” may appear as “benevolent brothers” the messages derived from and through them consistently conflict with Biblical Christianity.
[As do the perverse rapes, and 'medical procedures' that involve the reproductive organs/genitalia of alien abductees, in a massive number of accounts that have been cross-referenced]
There is nothing in the UFO phenomenon that leads to belief in the one true God. The “visitors” appear to be in tune with what has been known as “New Age” religion, including eastern mysticism, astral projection, and harmonic convergence, and so on.
None of these are in harmony with Jesus Christ. They are more interested in steering us away from the one who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” to fool mankind about Bible prophecy, and even to falsify His coming in the very era of Christ’s return.
All of this can be none other than preparation necessary to the events surrounding the rise of Anti-Christ.
A matter of increasing significance in our ever closer knit world culture is the attention given by the airwaves (radio and television) to the UFO activity and the “alien abduction phenomenon,” as reflected by the many programs touching upon these topics.
It is already evident that much of this can be directly associated with the preparatory new age mentality and the occult, if not outright demonic enterprise.
The potential for confusion over these effects within the Christian community is not to be underestimated.
It is known that most of those involved in the “new age” movement do not “buy off” on the theory of evolution to any reckonable degree, as even they appear to see the loop holes in this decadent philosophy.
Yet, neither do adherents of this movement embrace the Biblical account of creation and earth history.
A third “option” which has been taking increasing prominence in the cultural arena of our civilization, if not its overall “religious” characteristic, is the idea that humanity was “planted” here on earth by aliens form outer space.
[Google panspermia to discover exactly how spot on he actually is; and sadly, the majority of this information is coming from the scientific community - not merely just alien conspiracy aficionados.]
More and more the “proof” of this idea is seen in the UFO and alien abduction phenomenon. The new age movement is a quiet cancer in society that began in the mid to late 1960′s that has now become a well defined world and life view with its own “theology.”
Advocates of this movement have well prepared answers for almost any question one could ask. The vigilant Christian’s only safety, counter measure, and protection against this monstrous deception is his charter, the Holy Bible.
The astute Bible student will see the intimate connection between the past and the present, for every evidence indicates we are witnessing a major repeat of a bygone epoch.
It is quite possible that we will be seeing much more on these themes along with their “signs and wonders” in the years that follow, all preparatory to an ultimate judgment.
[Considering this book was written about 15 years ago, he might as well be a modern day prophet; his accuracy is far greater than most who claim to be one.]
This concludes pt.2 of the Return of the Nephilim and The Alien Abduction Connection series. In pt.3 we will be exploring the modern ramifications of the return of Nephilim.
