Trump, God, Nephilm, War of Fallen Angels

From Chapter 7 of the Book of Enoch, we read:

11. And the women conceiving brought forth giants,
12. Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labour of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;
13. When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;
14. And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.

This is as mythical as a fairy tale. If such giants had actually existed, their humongous bones would be easily found in the fossil record. Their femurs alone would be over 100 feet long. According to this they were 300 cubits tall–equivalent to between 450 and 600 feet (one “cubit” is the measure of the arm, from fingertips to elbow, and the cubit was larger for larger/taller people; most scholars would put it at between 18 inches and two feet on average).

The influence of the Book of Enoch, which is entirely apocryphal and not part of the Biblical canon, reached even to the translation of the Septuagint, which is where we first see the idea of the nephilim being “giants.” In fact, however, the word “nephilim” should not mean “giants” at all.

The Hebrew root word for “nephilim” consists of the nun, peh, and lamed (נפל). When one looks up these root letters, one quickly learns what this Hebrew root means. As a verb, it would be translated as “to fall.” In participle or noun form, it would mean “ones who fall,” or “fallen ones.”

Here are the places where it is commonly mistranslated:

There were giants (nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4, KJV)

And there we saw the giants (nephilim), the sons of Anak, which come of the giants (nephilim): and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. (Numbers 13:33, KJV)

However, these two verses do not agree with the meaning of the same Hebrew root used elsewhere–and it occurs over 400 times in the Old Testament, though mostly as a verb in expressions like “fallen upon his bed,” “fallen by the sword,” “Babylon is fallen,” etc.

Nephilim Fallen Angels and the Sons of God

Nephilim

Contrary to most internet exposition, the Nephilim were contemporaries of the “sons of God”, not their hybrid children:

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men.( Genesis 6:4
