I actually agree with this - but to nit-pick when Jesus said it would be like the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah in the next statement he actually explained what he meant. That people wouldn't see it coming and then destruction would come on them. There could be a layered meaning which is common but in this case He didn't say there would be great evil. Those verses refer to the Wrath of God (not Tribulation created by Satan and his followers).

I know, but what was going on in the days of Noah that was so bad that it provoked Gods wrath? This is what this thread is about, the actual cause. All of Bible prophecy pretty much goes back to the days of Noah.edit on 8-1-2013 by BlackManINC because: (no reason given)

Satan knew that Jesus, the Messiah would be born of a human woman. The Nephilim giants that first appear in Genesis 6 as a result of the "Sons of God", or the Angels that mated with human women, was Satan's attempt to pollute the human bloodline so that the Messiah wouldn't be fully god and fully human or a pure blooded human, so that we wouldn't be saved by the blood of Christ. Had it not been for Noah and his family it would have been successful, for he was "perfect in his generations, without blemish". This isn't what is taught in most churches these days, but this is the belief of many Biblical scholars and was the belief of the early church fathers.

2000 years ago, the average height for a male was 5'1 so 3000 or so years before that we were even smaller (tiny people).
So anyone around 6ft would be considered a giant, and that seems to be the genesis for that segment of this fable....
But yeah, murder everyone, its the only way to be sure....

When the Bible speaks of 'giants', it really means they were actual giants. It isn't talking about someone merely six feet tall, its talking about groups of "people", if you even want to call these hybrid abominations people, that were described as being as tall as a cedar tree in verses like Amos 2:9-10. They were of such great stature that the spies Moses sent into the land of Canaan stated that they were like grasshoppers in their sights. So Biblically, your statement makes no since whatsoever.

Actually, 3,000 BC the average height among people was around 5ft 9 in for men and 5ft 5in for women. That is "on average". It wasn't until the agricultural age(due to lack of protein rich diets) that people shrank to 5ft 3 in for men and 5 ft for women. There is a big difference between a "giant of a man" and a giant. A 6ft tall person would make an average person of an agricultural era settlement feel like an older child, not a grasshopper.

However, the switch to an agricultural economy led to a fall in average height by 3000 B.C.--to 5 feet, 3 inches and 5 feet exactly, respectively, for men and women.
Heck, Goliath who was regarded as a demi-giant, was anywhere from 9ft-11ft tall.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. - Rev 13: 16-18
