WHO WERE THE GIANTS THAT LIVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST AT
THE TIME OF MOSES?
In the Old
Testament, specially in the book of Deuteronomy, the Bible speaks of different
kingdoms, inhabited by humans of great stature, known to the locals from even
older times, and who are said to be ‘descendants of the REPHAIM’
(Deuteronomy 3:11;
Joshua 12:4).
They must have been
also dispersed in different kingdoms and tribes, and were also called ANIKITES,
and EMITES, among other names (Deuteronomy 2:11).
Apart from being
considered only legends, there are two main theories of who these people were.
1 – ANCIENT
NORDIC TRIBES
Some have suggested
that these ‘giants’ were not other than tall Caucasian males who originated in ancient
MESOPOTAMIA, specially in the region called today IRAN, where the ‘white race’
is supposed to have started (1).
They assumed,
that not only in MESOPOTAMIA, or the area where Abraham and Moses lived, but in
all continents, these Caucasians resided, of great stature and strength in
comparison with the mixed races that came afterwards, of much less size and
power.
2 – NEPHILIM
The other theory,
seems to indicate that these humans, were hybrid, meaning, of union between
human women and angelic beings, the same way we are told in Genesis 6:4.
Or human genetic
alterations, obviously made by demons, since they pre-existed the illicit union
between angelic and human beings (Genesis 6:4).
CONSIDERATIONS
Considering that
these gigantic people had measures that supersede all human natural variations,
even in cases of mutants, gaining sizes from 3 meters (1Samuel 17:4) to 4
meters (Deuteronomy 3:11), or even taller (Numbers 13:32-33), and that most of
them had genetical mutations, like extremities of six fingers, probably in an
attempt to improve on creation, in cases of delivered demonic genetical
manipulation, or natural mutation through unnatural impregnation (2Samuel
21:20). It is more likely that we are dealing with mutant humans, product of deliberate
alteration, or intermixing of human and angelic source.
LAST WORD
Regardless of
the origin of these people, they were humans, but mutant humans, either expressly
altered once conceived by human parents, or a product of carnal union between
demons and women in manner unknown to us, that naturally altered the DNA of
these people.
The fact is
however, that they were spread all over the planet in ancient times, not only
in Mesopotamia, and that they were inclined to evil, savagery and cruelty
(Genesis 6:5).
Many of ancient
cultures, must have been infested with these mutants, and they may have been
the responsible builders of such marvels as the pyramids, or the Nazca
drawings, and the ancient animal-human mythical figures of legends, of course enhanced
by the imagination and fantasy of men.
Considering
their abundance among the Philistines and other primitive tribes in the area, and
being their humanity so corrupted, it is not surprising that GOD ordered their annihilation
even to their children, to halt their procreation, and thus, end up the
corruption of the human race any further.
