Who were the Nephilim, and why didn't ancient readers find them strange?

The ancient Israelites believed that their neighboring kingdoms were founded by giant warrior kings who were part-god and part-human.The Bible explains that the reason these kings spread violence is because they were captive to spiritual evil.

I’ve always thought that the nephilim were what the Greeks called the demigods.

I know that these are called “shorts”, but they always leave me wanting more! The truth leads me to hunger and thirst for more!!

As a new Christian this subject baffles me

In Thailand there is a folklore legend about giants who ate and terrorised the ancient Thai population - they’re call ‘Yak’. Other cultures have stories about giants too. This can’t be all coincidence.

Jesus Christ disarmed the demonic realm and put them to open shame at the cross. He also defeated the works of the devil! 🎉

All glory be to God, I praise you for your mercy, thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and thank you Holy Spirit for your work.

This series was so extremely helpful. It’s revolutionary because it changes how you view the whole narrative of scripture. I often wonder why this subject matter doesn’t come up more in the podcast more. The nephilim and divine counsel are woven into the very fabric of the story that Jesus saw himself inside✅🔔❤️ thank you for all you guys do!

For those who don't already know, this is largely based on the work of the late biblical scholar Michael Heiser. However, even if you disagree with Heiser, I think he's worth reading because he's intellectually stimulating and provocative in many ways.

I love the Bible project, these guys have broken down the Bible from its original translation and present the stories in animated bite sized digestible formats. Bravo!

[GuitarTunings]

Yes, ancient Hebrew people referred to half-human half-angel groups, violent peoples that ate humans and were frequently described as giants. Peoples all over the world talked about giants.

I’ve been a Christian for decades. Just now reading Dr. Michael Heiser’s book Unseen Realm……Mind Blown!

A recent comment was made, that it would have been impossible for angels and humans to breed, by the difference in size alone.
Too, it's been said for the longest time that, "Angels were not created with those body parts."
Very relevant points that should be considered.

Really cool animation, a full animation of the bible would be great, but i guess is too expensive

[aagnew]

The book of Enoch goes in depth about the fallen angels and the nephilim! I recommend reading it. It’s amazing!

[rose]

This kinda reminds me of the Titans, and the various monsters in Greek mythology.

[blukmagetypeR]

In theory, if the Nephilim were still around after the flood, at least one of the women _(not saying which one)_ that Noah's 3 sons married had to be part of that bloodline for the "giant" folk to be around the Canaan area and some throughout the planet over the years and generations.

[TodaysBibleTruth]

There are two main viewpoints about this. The one depicted here and the one that says that this view is false teaching and that nowhere in the Bible are angels called the sons of God. Only us and Jesus, THE Son of God. After hearing teaching on both sides, I'm leaning toward the second.
Kevin Zadai has good teaching on this. He said the Lord helped him understand these things when he died. It's fascinating.

[JBTBTruthbetold]

God gave King David the power to demolish giants. Jesus is Lord.
