Nepah means "to fall". The "nephalim" is the plural form. Meaning "those that have fallen". The nephalim before the flood died off in the flood. Or, those who had fallen away from being righteous (in right standing with God) were destroyed by God in the flood.

After the flood there were Nephalim as well. We specifically see them in Sodem and Gomorrah. And God destroyed them with fire and brimstone. There are others who we can also consider Nephalim, but later in the text of the bible God looks at them specifically as a nation by name or as a people or person that needs to be removed from the earth.

Nephalim is not a specific lineage of people. This idea was propogated by the non-biblical text of the book of Enoch. The book of Enoch is an interesting read, but it is not scripture. It is mere fiction of the time and people have confused it with scripture because it is an ancient piece of text.

Again you... You shout: God, God, God... The Myth, the Myth, the Myth.
Flood - accident, flooding. There were 2 times. Under "the higher race" - here people with the developed technology.

Theoretically it is possible that some of the gene survived through Noah's daughter in-law, but of course that would have been a diluted version already. A real Nephlim would have been some 9 feet tall, but of course the more human gene you mix in, the more human they become.

True, it is not in the Bible, so it cannot be read as scripture, and that's that. I have it in my bookshelf, and one day I will read it, but only out of interest.

I think the origin of the story of giants/fallen angels resulted from a tribe of people migrating near these native people. This tribe, through evolution, had different characteristics, such as a tall height, that the native tribe had not seen before. Since superstition explained and reigned in that day, those people with different features were demonized by the natives. Thus, we have fallen angels coming down and breading with mortals. Possibly, this distant tribe that migrated near the natives had a shortage of females and mated with the native population.

I believe in the veracity of "Nephilim" just as I do in the Cyclops "Polyphemus" (and all his brothers too). Afterall, Homer wrote about him in The Odyssey. I mean Troy was found, therefore there is archaeological evidence that the events in both the Illiad and the Odyssey must be true. Isn't that how part of the argument for biblical fact goes?

there were giants on the earth in those days and also after that, when the sons of God took wives of the daughters of Adam and went in to them [had sexual relations with them] and got offspring by their wives who were daughters of Adam.
Watchers fell before the flood, and watchers fell after the flood, and nephillim were born after the flood, descended from a new set of fallen watchers who fornicated with daughters of Adam after the flood, disregarding the warning of their fellow watchers who got chained in Sheol to warn them not to do such evil [as pr Jude], before the flood.

The DNA of the nephillim is of Adam flesh, because they got their flesh bodies from the daughters of Adam [by gene splitting, taught by the fallen Watchers, as Enoch tells us], but the spirit of them is not of Adam, and for that reason, they were cursed to be evil spirits remaining on earth, when disembodied, as Enoch tells us.

Here is what the giants did, and do still, as disembodied evil spirits by using the bodies of men whom they demonize:
The were cannibals and drank the blood of all flesh.
They were, and are, gross fornicators, doing every sort of perverse sexual act imaginable and tempting others to do such.
They were, and are, sorcerers, and practiced witchcraft by many means.
They were idolaters and blasphemers, violent men who had and have fits of rage, and who murdered as sport.
They took and taught, and teach. the use of herbs as hallucinogenics.

The demons are the disembodied nephillim. They roam earth seeking men to deceive, tempt, and to control to do the things they did when they were in their bodies of flesh. Tormenting and deceiving mankind is their food and drink, while they roam the earth disembodied.


Are nephillim being born on earth today in bodies of flesh? probably not, but maybe, but they know it if they are.
Will there be again? -Enoch says yes, and the Book of Daniel says yes.

And as to colors of eyes, skin, and hair: the book of 1 Enoch says Noah was white -like the sons of God- and his three sons were white, black, and red, and all men on earth are descended from those three sons of Noah, and if a fallen watcher takes a daughter of Adam [we are all one Adam race, and we all come from Adam] and gets offspring of her, she still bears an Adam flesh DNA person, but the spirit is not of Adam, and is evil, and is cursed/damned, and -they- know it.
