The Biblical Narrative on Nephilim Giants and Rephaim
Can Satan have offspring? The average person would probably say no. But in the very beginning, with the fall of man, God makes a shocking statement. He curses the serpent for its deceit and tells him that his seed will be at enmity with the woman’s (Eve’s) seed.
Satan is a fallen angel; we know from this statement that he and other fallen angels can seed offspring. Three chapters later, the Bible tells us that a group of fallen angels mate with human women and produce the Nephilim. Some versions translate this as giants, and they were giants, as confirmed in Numbers.
The Book of Enoch and the Book of Giants give us many more details about these events. Though not included in most canon, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 20th century proves that these books are ancient and were important to the Jewish Essenes.
While God punished the angels who committed this great sin and bound them in the abyss, the Nephilim continued beyond the great flood God brought to cleanse the earth. The Bible testifies of battles with the sons of Anak, said to be Nephilim, and Og, the last of the remnant of the Rephaim (descendants of the Nephilim). Yet approximately 250 years later, in King David’s time, the giant Goliath fought with the Philistines. Could some Rephaim have escaped God’s punishment and the Israelite’s purge?
Rephaim Giants in North America
“The eyes of that species of extinct giants whose bones fill the Mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara as ours do now. Cotemporary with the whole race of men, and older than the first man Niagara is strong and fresh today as ten thousand years ago.“
– Abraham Lincoln, Niagara Falls Sep/Oct 1848
It must have been common knowledge in 1848 that a giant species built many mounds in North America. Abraham Lincoln would not have made such a reference if his audience would not have understood this and accepted it as fact.
It’s incredible how a population can completely forget knowledge in a couple of lifetimes. Other cultures, such as Native Americans, retained knowledge through the generations through story-telling. In the oral traditions of many Native American tribes, there is a history of red-haired cannibalistic giants.
When we speak of giants in modern times, we mostly speak of Rephaim rather than Nephilim. The Nephilim, meaning fallen ones in Hebrew, were the first first-generation hybrids of angels and human women per Genesis 6. There giant descendants are generally regarded as the Rephaim, meaning dead ones. They include clans like the Anakim and Emim, meaning fearful ones.
Accounts of Giants
· A book by Dr. Donald Yates documented an account from Chief Rolling Thunder of the Comanches in 1857 about an ancient race of white giants. The Chief stated, “Compared with them, the palefaces of the present day were pygmies, in both art and arms.”
· Yates also wrote of a Navajo legend about the Starnake people. The legends described them as “A regal race of white giants endowed with mining technology who dominated the West, enslaved lesser tribes, and had strongholds throughout the Americas. They were either extinguished or ‘went back to the heavens.‘”
· The Choctaw people found a giant white race they called the Nahullo when they first crossed the Mississippi River. The Nahullo were said to be cannibals the Choctaw killed whenever the opportunity arose.
· The Paiute people also have an oral tradition about the Si-Te-Cah or Sai’i, a tribe of vicious, cannibalistic red-haired giants. Sar h Winnemucca Hopkins captured this oral tradition in a book in 1882. In her book, she describes a great battle when the Paiute cornered the giants in what is now Lovelock Cave. They accumulated brush at the entrance and shot flaming arrows at the giants to keep them contained until they succumbed to the smoke.
