I am very happy that lately Dr Marshall is posting more videos on theology and scripture. This was what drew me to him long ago and really is what he does best!

[denisetimmerman]

Dr. Michael Heiser’s books changed everything for me! I love reading my Bible now! He was a gift from God! Thank you Taylor! 🙏🏼

If fallen angels had copulated with women, then how about Our Lord's word that angels do not marry or be married (Mat.22:30)??? Please Dr. Taylor Marshall, ANSWER THIS before you make further confusion.

Excellent summary of the history of the Giants. Two questions: 1: How is it possible for angels to have sexual relations with human women since angels are neither male nor female? Can they transform themselves to have male sex organs? 2. How do we explain the existance of giants at the time of Saul and David (Book of Numbers) if they were destroyed at the time of the flood?

It's about time I listen to a Catholic on this subject.

I was born and raised Catholic, went to Catholic school most of my childhood. How is it that I was never taught any of this, ? Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge. 🙏

At last a Catholic presentation on the nephalim! I have several books from protestants on thei whole issue. Thank you!

I heard this story many years ago from an old Polish lady. Thanks you for bringing it to light.

You have no idea how happy I am to hear a Catholic scholar as yourself explain these things. I read the book of Enoch after watching Noah’s movie with Russell Crowe. I did not know anything about Gn 6 until I questioned the ancestors of the “Transformers” 😂 in that movie. My grandfather who was a self proclaimed atheist talked to me about these giants…I thought later on in my life that he might have been talking Greek to me…😊I was only seven years old. Thank you Dr. Marshall for taking the time to teach and clarify Catholics about these things. I think that if Saint Augustine had access to the books of Enoch, he would have kept the oral tradition and written tradition from St Peter, St Jude, and the fathers of the Church and Saints who went along with the story of the 200 hundred fallen angels. God bless you and your family!

The two points I like to highlight is the concepts of dinosaurs existing before the flood and the story of David and Goliath. The need for giants existing during the time of the dinosaurs is something to consider.

We wrestle not against Flesh and Blood but against Principalities against powers against the Rulers of this world against Spiritual Wickedness in high places.

I grew up in a partly Catholic, partly Moravian (proto-protestant) household. Both sides were very devout and I grew up in both churches, but I wasn't baptized into either tradition, as they wanted to leave the decision up to me.
I remember this entire topic causing a huge crisis of faith for me. I eventually decided to get baptized at 13 into the Moravian tradition, and was thereafter obligated to read the entire Bible. When I reached Genesis 6 and read about the "Sons of God" coming into the "daughters of man" and producing giants, it caused me to steer off into a rather esoteric new-age ancient-aliens way of thinking. Around 7 years later, reading Michael Heiser's work as well as Enoch cleared a lot of things up for me and slowly steered me back to Christianity.

[chrissherman]

I love Heiser's books. They've really opened my eyes to a literal reading of the Old Testament

[AaronJediKnight]

I've been listening to Dr. Heiser for the last five years. He sadly passed away about a month ago. May the Lord receive him in his Kingdom

[frmichaelbower]

I am so grateful to Dr Marshall for making this video. You always amaze me with your attention to detail and the fact that you are able to always give your own unique perspective. I have been intrigued by Heiser’s view for a long time and I have been dissappointed that many prominent Catholic Bible scholars don’t comment on it very much.

[trevwilliams]

This is FANTASTIC! I have never heard this presented so well. GREAT JOB Taylor Marshall.

[jerig]

Please do a part 2 on these and answer questions 💕😊🙏

[gdc]

Thank you for speaking on so many different subjects. As a returning Catholic I need all of these information to enrich my faith and knowledge.

[waltergregory]

Dr. Marshall, I had a good friend who use to always question why the book of Enoch wasn’t in the Bible. When he died several years ago we have joked that he is still arguing with St. Peter why Enoch isn’t in the Bible. Great explanation by the way!

The modern Catholic Church no longer talks about this stuff. Doesn't talk about the End Times. None of it. The Challoner Douay-Reims Bible notes talk about them matter-of-factly....because they were.

Largest, on record, giant skeletons found in North America were both 18 footers. One in West Hickory, PA and the other Austin, TX. Late 1800's, early 1900's.

The Timucua Native American tribe that was discovered by Spanish explorers on Jekyll Island were all 8-9ft tall, including the women! They had Middle Eastern style recurve bows. They had a carved stone altar (that appeared to have been there since ancient times) that they would hack up and sacrifice babies over which the explorers made note of (a practice by the Canaanites, etc) and quickly left in fear (they didn't have enough men) towards Florida where they founded St. Augustine.

"[...Francisco Pizarro and his company] arrived at Puerto Viejo, and to Santa Helena, where they saw a large quantity of bones of giants, that according to their proportion, were 20 palms [approximately 15 ft] tall." ~ Antonio de la Calancha. Augustinian monk & anthropologist. "The Moral Chronical of the Order of Saint Augustine in Peru, 1663"


Supposedly, up to and during the time of Christ, Israel had a "museum" of sorts where they had many giant bones and skeletons on display for those entering the Holy Land (as a testament to the truthfulness of the Biblical Scriptures). I believe Josephus mentions this but I forget on this one.

A great intro book for skeptics on the topic is: "Giants on Record: America's Hidden History, Secrets in the Mounds, and the Smithsonian Files" by Jim Vieira and Hugh Newman
