“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.”
Genesis 6:4 KJV
Back then, and later, there were giants on the earth, who were born as a result of the unholy union of heavenly beings with the human daughters. They were the mighty ones of old, warriors of renown. The Hebrew word for giants is Nephilim, also used for fallen ones. Offspring of divine beings and women, they were monsters of iniquity, meant to corrupt the earth and destroy the godly seed. There were two ways in the old covenant to kill giants - like David, prophesy their downfall, run straight toward them, knock them down and cut off their head. Or like Caleb and Joshua, conquer them, see them as “bread” to strengthen us. Intimidation never worked when facing giants. The Lord Jesus destroyed all the works of the enemy at the Cross, including giants. In the new covenant, for those of us who are in Christ, we know the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named…and has put all things under His feet. Glory to God!
