I don't believe they are. Mainly because I don't believe they exist. Little space creatures that is. But yes indeed I am very familiar with the nephilim, and it is just as you say in your intro.
And yes Gary, they will also return, Jesus warned of that.
Matt 24:37-38 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, they as use here are the Nephilim. And here is when it happens again
Rev 12:7-9 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And this event will happen before the return of Jesus, just as the word of God states.satan and his cohorts appear at the 6th trump, 6th vial, and 6th plague.=666
Jesus returns at the 7th trump
That is why Paul warns:
1 Cor 11:10 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. If a woman protects herself with Christ as her Lord she will not be deceived by a fallen angel when they appear on this earth again.
So as to them being UFO visitors, I think not. They were truly angels created by God, and did in fact leave their heavenly habitation and came down to earth, and did have sex with the daughters of men...in general, women. And it is as you said, their offspring were giants, known as gibbor. And also remember Gary, we were made in the image of God and the angels, that is also more evidence that the nephilim look like us, and not little green men... smile...
Good discussion thread Gary, I hope all contribute in a friendly and mature fashion, as you have asked.
Have a good evening Gary Shalom...><> |
