Judgment Of The Nephilim summary

The Origin of Nephilim

In Genesis 6:1-4, the Bible tells us about the Nephilim, the 'sons of God' who took the 'daughters of men' as wives, and the offspring they bore. Judgment Of The Nephilim by Ryan Pitterson delves into this enigmatic passage, exploring the origin of the Nephilim, the literal interpretation of the 'sons of God' as fallen angels, and their offspring as the Nephilim. Pitterson argues that this interpretation is consistent with ancient Jewish and early Christian traditions.

According to Pitterson, the purpose of the fallen angels' union with human women was to corrupt the human gene pool, preventing the birth of the Messiah. He supports this argument with references to the Book of Enoch, which describes these fallen angels as 'Watchers' who descended to Earth to cohabit with human women.

The Great Flood and the Nephilim

Pitterson then discusses the reason behind the Great Flood, positing that it was a divine response to the corruption of the human race by the Nephilim. He argues that the Flood was not just a punishment for human sin, but also a means to eradicate the Nephilim and their impure lineage, allowing humanity to start anew.

In Genesis 6:9, we learn that only Noah and his family were found to be righteous, and thus, they were the only ones spared from the Flood. Pitterson suggests that the reason for their righteousness was their untainted human lineage, free from Nephilim influence. He also speculates that the Nephilim might have returned after the Flood, explaining the presence of giants in the Promised Land when the Israelites arrived.

The Return of the Nephilim

In the second part of Judgment Of The Nephilim, Pitterson examines the post-Flood era, focusing on the biblical accounts of giants such as Goliath and Og. He suggests that these giants could be descendants of the Nephilim, pointing to their immense size and the fears they instilled in the Israelites.

Pitterson also explores the possibility that the Nephilim lineage survived the Flood through the wives of Noah's sons, proposing that these women might have carried Nephilim genes. He speculates that the Nephilim might have continued to exist in smaller numbers, explaining the sporadic appearances of giants throughout history.

Modern Implications of the Nephilim

Bringing his discussion into the present day, Pitterson considers the potential modern-day implications of the Nephilim. He suggests that the Nephilim might have continued to interbreed with humans, leaving their genetic legacy in certain populations. He also explores the idea that the Nephilim might have been behind advanced ancient civilizations such as Atlantis, drawing connections between these theories and the biblical narrative.

Overall, Judgment Of The Nephilim presents a thought-provoking interpretation of the biblical account of the Nephilim. Pitterson's work is a comprehensive exploration of the Nephilim, their origins, and their potential continued influence, providing a unique perspective on this mysterious and intriguing aspect of biblical history.
