What are the Nephilim and their significance?
Thank you for doing this. Yeah, absolutely. I have read Genesis, like, you know, on and off most of my life.
What advanced civilization existed before the Great Flood?
Never noticed the first part of chapter six with the Nephilim until about four years ago. Someone mentioned it to me in the subsequent years. I must've had 15 conversations, 25 conversations about the Nephilim. So it seemed worth talking to someone who understands exactly what the Nephilim are. What are the Nephilim? And am I pronouncing it correctly?
I mean, good enough. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, it's the I am at the end. The im is the plural in Hebrew. Okay.
Was ancient technology influenced by demonic entities?
But yeah, so there's a little bit of debate about where exactly the word comes from because it's not a regularly used Hebrew word in the Hebrew Bible. Right. Which isn't all that odd either. There are a lot of words that are only used once in the Hebrew Bible. But people have tried to do different things with it. So there's a Hebrew verb, nafal, which is the verb to fall. So some people have wanted to say, well, it's the fallen ones. But in Hebrew, Nephilim is reflexive, so it would be the ones who are fallen upon, which is a little more difficult. But it seems pretty clear. Most people agree now because there's an Aramaic word, Nephilim, that ends with an N, that just means giant. And so it seems pretty contextually clear that this is just...
hebrew form of that word and this is talking about giants it's translated in the greek old testament with uh yantes in greek which means which is where we get the english word giant um but a lot of people when they hear the word giant now think fifa right yes that's that's not the core um of the idea so the word All of the words used for giant not only refer to a tall person, but could also be used to mean a thug or a bully or a tyrant. And the example I use is, and you're old enough to remember this, when we went into Panama after Noriega. They're always referring to him as Panamanian strong man. Yes, always. And that wasn't talking about his awesome bench press. That was, you know, that he was a dictator, right?
He was an authoritarian. And so it's the same kind of idea, right? That, that, um,
How does the concept of Nephilim relate to modern Japan?
It's characterizing these people as that sort of thuggish, brutish kind of character. And referring to them as tall or referring to them as giants is meant to symbolize and suggest that. Okay. And so in Genesis, at the beginning of Genesis, at the beginning of the flood story, in Genesis 6, we have to understand that the flood story is not a new story when Genesis is telling it. Everyone had a flood story in the ancient Near East. So the text of Genesis is not primarily claiming, oh, there was this flood. It's talking about the flood that the original audience all sort of knew had happened. Yes. And which did happen, I think.
Are Nephilim-like beings still present in today's world?
Right. Yes, there is a historical event, right? Yeah. This is referring to. But you could have asked anybody from Greece to Mesopotamia to Egypt. They would have all agreed at that point that, yes, there was this advanced civilization. There was a flood that destroyed it. current civilization is rebuilt after that. Yes. Uh, now the key, one of the key differences in Genesis six, as you already have in those first four verses is Genesis recasts what that civilization was like. So in the pagan sources, that pre-flood world was this golden age. of, for the time, high technology, right? And technology in the ancient Near Eastern mind included magic.
What fossil evidence supports the existence of giants?
Magic was a sort of spiritual technology. And all of these things happened over the life. And that sort of losing that world was sort of this great tragedy.
But everyone agreed it was a more advanced world than the world they lived in.
Yes, yes. That there was knowledge there that had now been mostly lost. Interesting. And so you find, um, the civilizations that grew up after that and exhibit a of that is the, the original Babylonian empire. So like Hammurabi's. Yes. Babylonian empire at the height of the bronze age. Uh, people don't understand how, how powerful the global structure was in the bronze age. It's called the bronze age because they were smelting bronze.
