These creatures were called Nephilim simply because their giant physique. Their warlike nature made men to fear and even run in battle. This theory is especially supported by a later account in the Bible where young king David killed a Nephilim descendent called Goliath during a biblical account of battle.
One consistent attribute given to Nephilim by biblical accounts is the denomination of giants or more precisely of giants of Canaan. This makes it seem that the term Nephilim may be a generic term referring to giants.
It states, "The land we spied devours her inhabitants and the people we saw there are of a great height. We saw the Nephilim and we seemed like grasshoppers in comparison.
A later dispossession however sees all of them killed or displaced except one, Og king Bashan. The bible records that his bed was of iron, over 13 feet long and 6 feet wide.
Actually if you watch the first 3 minutes of the video you will find out why "Nephilim" actually doesn't mean giants, so you are wrong about them being tall.

I never said 'Giants'. I said Tall. Big difference! Excuse the pun!

When a significant proportion of the planet has been taught to demonize that which is different is it any surprise that the only encounters are personal. Larger scale encounters are limited to lights in the sky, sufficient for those who are not open to contact to dismiss them, while those who are open can embrace the experience for what it is. A gentle push at the edge of society...almost as if an-other conciousness is just making itself known at the edge of peoples awareness.
Anyways, peace be with you OP.

Just for the record, i have been where you are. If that suits you and is what you chose to be then i wish you all the best in the world. For me though, it had far to many self-contradictory, inaccurate and blatantly disprovable rulesets that i could not in all good conscience accept it in to-to as a model, but some of it i could prove to myself as accurate once i had removed the noise out of the way. As an example...when the divine gave the 1st woman and 1st man a skin (physical form) to wear.edit on 13-8-2011 by kayA1 because: spolling for begooners...what is an opionion any way...can i cook and eat it?

But oh well maybe it will get more flags here or something.edit on 13-8-2011 by RevelationGeneration because: (no reason given)
