It's an actual metaphysical transformation of who you are, even to the point where, so a big part of the understanding of what's going on with the Nephilim before the flood is that a lot of the demonic spirits that are talked about later in Scripture and after the flood are understood to be the spirits of those Nephilim.
of those dead Nephilim.
This is explicit in the book of Jubilees, which is a Jewish text from the period in between the Old and New Testaments, but a very important one.
If you read Josephus's Jewish antiquities, he's cribbing from the history in Jubilees all the time.
He just accepts it as historical.
And it talks about at the time of the flood, the Nephilim are wiped out.
They all die.
And they have sort of a leader who's named Mastema.
And Mastaba comes to God and wants to strike this bargain with him.
Don't send us all into the abyss.
Don't send us all into the lake of fire.
Let some of us stay on the earth.
We promise if you let us do that, we'll only torment bad people.
We'll only torment wicked people.
And in the book of Jubilees, God agrees to allow 10% of them
to remain to torment wicked people but it says that god's motive is he wants to use that to bring wicked people to repentance right so there's sort of a a theodicy going on there right yes why does god allow these demonic right spirits but you see reflections of that story even in like the gospels right because they're the the spirits are told at that time you're going to be uh
allowed to honor and tell the last judgment and then you're going to the lake of fire with everybody else but you get this sort of reprieve so for example when when christ comes to the demoniac man and the demons say to him have you come to torment us before the time exactly like hey wait we had a deal yeah right that's and then uh he ends up casting them into the pigs and the pigs run off the cliff and it says they run off the cliff into the abyss
which is the place where those other demonic spirits were imprisoned.
And there's a dynamic going on there where the name Jesus is actually the name Joshua, right?
Of course, Joshua in the book of Joshua goes and battles these giant clans to sort of reclaim the land and purify them from evil.
