Not Quite Human

Ancient manuscripts of history present us with an obscure and mysterious race of giants, the origins of which may have serious ramifications for the future of humankind. The Bible, the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, and the Genesis Apocryphon all have similar texts on this subject.

In the Bible, these ones are called "nephilim." Other proper names were Rephaim (meaning, "spirits"), Emim (meaning, "proud deserters"), Anakim (a race of hybrids), Zamzummim (meaning, "evil plotters') and Zuzim (meaning, "roaming things"). The oldest belief about their origins is that fallen angels coupled with human women and produced these hybrids.

Genesis 6:1-2 and 4 reads: 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 that the Sons of God saw the Daughters of Men that they were fair: and they took them wives of all which they chose. 4 There were Giants 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."

The word "giants" here is written in the Hebrew as Ha-Napiliym and comes from the word "nephiyl" or "nephil," meaning, "to fall."

Theories about the fallen ones are divided into three main categories:

* The Sons of God were fallen angels who bred with human women.
* The Sons of God referred to the sons of Seth who cohabited with the daughters of Cain.
* The Sons of God were the sons of pre-flood rulers or magistrates.

In Chapters 6 and 7 of the Book of Enoch, we find:

Chapter 6 - 1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves 6 by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn 7 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.

Chapter 7 - 1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

A bread crumb trail of the belief that those of other dimensions or angels copulated with the human race runs throughout human history. For example, Greek, Roman and Egyptian mythologies also contain stories of offspring with superhuman abilities and gigantic proportions.

Is it physically possible that fallen angels could come to earth and have children with human women? Scripture speaks of angels having the ability to take human form and even eat. Some people believe that even as far back as the Garden of Eden there might have been more happening than just eating an apple between Eve and the serpent, the result of which resulted in a Reptilian line through Cain.

Others believe that the reason God sent the flood was to destroy not only the bloodlines of these ones but also animals that had been corrupted. The Book of Jasher speaks of the fallen ones mixing animals of one species with another and corrupting all flesh, not only humanity. One wonders where the idea of unicorns and centaurs (half man, half horse) came from. Did fallen angels have anything to do with these?

The Book of Enoch says that fallen angels brought mankind various types of knowledge that were not known up until that time. These included the making of swords and knives, shields and breastplates; the knowledge of metals and the working of them; making bracelets and ornaments and applying makeup; costly stones and coloring tinctures; enchantments and root cuttings; astrology, the constellations and clouds; the signs of the earth, sun and moon.

These ideas seem quite "science fiction" to us, but were accepted as fact by the ancients, including such ones as Josephus and Philo of Alexandria.

This brings an important question to light. If it were possible that angels could leave their established places and come into this world and interbreed with women, might it happen again? After all, angels do not die. If they did such a thing in history, it seems reasonable that the ability is there to do it again.

The Bible indicates that some of the fallen ones are restrained at the present time. In the Bible's Book of Jude, it reads:

(Verse 6) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Could history be repeating itself in UFO abductions? Some believe it is, especially since many who report experiencing an abduction have memories of alien medical tests of a sexual nature and even egg and sperm harvesting.

Indeed, some even say that there is a secret underground alien installation at Dulce, New Mexico, where all kinds of genetic testing are taking place on humans and animals. Read this theory at AboveTopSecret.com. On the other side of the controversy, this site, The Dulce Report, refutes the existence of such an installation.

Many other sites hold to the theory that the Nephilim will return and numerous videos are posted at sites such as YouTube and Google which speculate about it.

What do you think? Is it possible that there were those on earth that were not quite human? If so, could we still have them with us? Could it happen again?
