Biblical-giants book soars up charts 'The Nephilim' explains ancient pyramids, future events Posted: February 1, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern

A unique book that purports to explain the past existence of giant beings referred to in the Bible as the Nephilim is skyrocketing up online best-sellers lists, now appearing in the top 10 at Amazon.com.
Published by Xulon Press, "The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse" presents an explanation for an unusual verse in the first book of the Bible, Genesis 6:4, which reads: "There were giants (Nephilim) in the Earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bare children to them."
The book's author, Patrick Heron, says on his website that his is the only first in-depth book to throw light on the mysterious Nephilim and "to provide evidence of who built the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico and other great monuments of ancient history."
In the introduction of the hot-selling work, Heron delves into the history of the pyramids and other fascinating structures that have proven "astronomical significance" – facts that have been written about before.
In Heron's book, however, he goes to the questions of who built the structures, how they acquired such mathematical and astronomical knowledge, and what advanced technology was used in the construction.
Writes Heron: "To simply say, 'The Egyptians built them,' is not a satisfactory answer. For if man began at the stone age, progressed to the bronze and then to the iron age, then we have the oldest pyramids popping up somewhere between the stone age and the bronze age. This is akin to saying that at some point in time past, man invented the wheel. Sometime later, another made a cart. But in between the wheel and the cart we find a brand new Mercedes! This is a realistic comparison when considering the construction of the pyramids.
"Despite all the recent books written about them, the pyramids remain a conundrum wrapped in an enigma and surrounded by a paradox. Yes, these authors have discovered and charted their astronomical significance. They have unearthed their geometric alignments and mathematical accuracies. And the conclusion they have reached is that some lost civilization or race of advanced people were responsible for these mammoth edifices."
Those lost race of people, Heron proposes, are the Nephilim.
In the first part of his book, Heron answers the questions of who the architects were, where they came from, where they acquired their mathematical and astronomical knowledge, how they possessed the strength to construct these huge structures, why they chose the pyramid shape, why the pyramids align with celestial bodies and where theses mysterious over-achievers went.
"In the second part of this book," writes Heron, "I have shown how these same age-old pyramids portend a future event. Analyzing again the ancient texts, I will provide an examination of the prophecies of the book of Revelation and of the signs we are told would precede these imminent happenings. In doing so we shall garner the necessary details and information whereby the reader will be able to audition the future."
Finally, Heron says, his book proposes "a phenomenon never before proposed or explored –The Pyramid of The Apocalypse."
Heron's book begins with an analysis of the mathematical phenomena surrounding the pyramids – for example, the fact that the length of each side of the Great Pyramid at the base is 365.2422 Hebrew cubits, the exact number of days in the solar year, including the extra day for each leap year. He also points out how four long, narrow passageways in the pyramid point to specific stars in the sky and that ancient monuments in Mexico and Cambodia have similar celestial connections to the same four stars.
Next, Heron takes the reader to the Genesis text that talks of the "sons of God," citing other uses of the term in the Bible. He says the term is comparable to the mention of angels, whom Heron says should more accurately be called "agents" or "messengers."
Heron then goes back to Genesis 6, citing verse 2: "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose."
Writes Heron: "What this verse is implying is that these 'sons of God,' who were created spirit beings, had intercourse with ordinary human women and produced children. But these were no ordinary offspring."
The result of the unions, Heron says, were the Nephilim, Hebrew for giants, that are mentioned in verse 4. The fathers, also are referred to as Nephilim, which also means "the fallen ones." The author says the fathers were malevolent spirits, or demons.
The Nephilim, then, were "a hybrid of demons and men. They were evil and wicked by nature and could not be rehabilitated and made good, for the evil was in their genes."
Heron, a Christian author who lives in Ireland, believes the spirit beings hooked up with earthly women twice, once before the Great Flood, hence the Genesis passage, and later after the Flood. One biblical citation he mentions is in the book of Numbers, when the 12 Hebrew spies scout out the Promised Land and report back about giants who inhabited the land. These giants and others, Heron writes, actually practiced genetic engineering, citing the fact that it took two spies to carry back one cluster of grapes on a staff between them.
Perhaps the most famous biblical Nephilim was Goliath, the man who stood over 13 feet tall and was slain by shepherd boy David.
While an analysis of the Nephilim and even pointing to them as architects of the mysterious structures is not unprecedented, Heron breaks new ground in his discussion of future events and how the Nephilim's pyramids related to them.
Heron believes the pyramid design by the Nephilim was a rip-off of the shape of the "City of God" talked about in Revelation, which is said to have a square base with each side approximately 1,400 miles long.
Writes Heron: "I have become convinced that the pyramidal shape is a demonic exercise in counterfeit design, for I believe that the pyramid is a paradigm of the City of God which is at present in the heavens and which was seen and described by John in chapter 21 of the Apocalypse. …
"Some biblical scholars have suggested that this city has been created in the shape of a cube. I believe that it is in the form of a pyramid, and I believe also that the reason the Pyramid of Giza and the other ancient pyramids were built was to copy the heavenly city of Yahweh, the Holy City which is right now in the heavens. This is what I mean by the term 'Pyramid of the Apocalypse.'"
Heron says the earthly pyramids were Satan's attempt, via the Nephilim, to try to exalt himself and imitated God.
"Only an exalted celestial being could have masterminded the pyramids of that ancient epoch. Only a being or beings with such knowledge of the stars could have accomplished such things."
Finally! A topic that I actually have some very real expertise involving the subject of... My very first suggestion is for anyone interested in the history and spiritual makeup of the Nephilim to go to your local Christian bookstore and request order (you will not find this book on hand in a display) "The Book of Enoch", (1 Enoch), translated by R. H. Charles, first published by The Longhorn Press, Bristol, England in 1917. ( It is now in at least it's twenty third printing). It was discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls, written purportedly by the Archangel Raziel at the behest of Enoch, who was taken to Heaven in a flaming chariot, never to be seen again, awaiting his return to Earth to die, as all must eventually (with Elijah probably; or with Moses...unlikely) in Jerusalem in the last days.
This book was divulged to the Israelites at least as early as 500 B.C. , and may very well be as old as most of the oldest parts of the Old Testament. JESUS did read this book as a young man in HIS studies as "gospel". HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO!!! This book is the very ultimate in Hebrew and Christian SPIRITUAL doctrine, unknown, to the Catholics at the "Nicean Biblical Inquisition", and therefore not included into what became the Catholic Bible. The Protestants later removed "The Apocropha"...another blunder by MAN and "The Great Deciever"! Don't get me wrong...I do believe that what is included in both the Catholic and Protestant versions are the "Inspired Word of God!", but I do not believe for one nano-second that the Bible is complete!!! I say, "Seek this book out!", but do it only after extended prayer. What will be revealed to you in this book requires a very open mind and an understanding of the similar disortation and symbolism of "Revelations".
Finally, I would like to point out that if this Book is not canonical, then why was it plegurized to create the New Testament book of "JUDE"? Main Example:
Jude 14 &15
"And behold, He comes with tens of thousands of His Holy Ones, to enact judgement upon all the ungodly..."
1 Enoch 1:9
And Behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgement upon all, and to destroy the ungodly: And to convict all flesh, Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed. And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
Right now you all should be thanking God for the wisdom He has instilled in you by His selection of you to be his true CHOSEN ONES! The chosen are both Jew and Gentile, that includes the Arabs! Reject Jesus for who He was and Is, and you will surely go to the place where the days and the seasons are prescribed for you who reject...a very sad, sad thing for so many...
I sincerely pray for your enlightenment, and hope very much to meet you all individually in the "Always Right Now", which is ETERNITY!
May God Bless You And Yours!

As was pointed out in another thread, this guy claims the British version of the "sacred Hebrew cubit" is something like 26 inches, which no serious scholar agrres with. So the figure of 365 cubits above is NONSENSE!
"Let's see, we'll say the cubit is 26 inches, not 17 or 20, so gullible rubes will get excited over some phony "magical" ratio. Great for book sales..."
Ahhh... maybe it was the other way around.
written purportedly by the Archangel Raziel at the behest of Enoch
Don't you get the least bit skeptical that it would make it the only book written by an angel and not man?
This book is the very ultimate in Hebrew and Christian SPIRITUAL doctrine
Oh really??!! Gee... and I would have guessed that the Torah would be the 'ultimate in Hebrew doctrine'.
ehh...he musta been smoking some of the good stuff. :P
***Finally, I would like to point out that if this Book is not canonical, then why was it plegurized to create the New Testament book of "JUDE"? ...***
Paul also quote the Greek poets Meander and Aratus. You don't consider their works canonical do you?
***The chosen are both Jew and Gentile, that includes the Arabs!***
Christian, not Muslim Arabs, right?
The Pentutach! The first five books of the Old Testaments, is what you are refering to. Enoch 1 was delivered to man by the Archangel Raziel to Elijah, the son of Enoch. Enoch could not return to Earth, and will not until the very last days of the Tribulation period. Before you start bad mouthing scripture, I suggest that you actually read it.
Been there, done that! That's why I don't fall for this utter nonsense.
Given time and ceaseless dedication, large numbers of people can accomplish great things. BTW, Where are the Nephilim fossils anyway?
There was a special on Discovery that described the buildings of the pyramids, and the details of how they carved, moved, and placed the rocks. It was from the narratives of a slave, who became a foreman, and has fairly recently been discovered and translated.
Didn't mention giants, only slaves and Egyptians. Those who died were more fortunate than many who lived, except for a few.
Yes, so stop dodging the issue! Why do you claim the 'Book of Enoch' is 'the ultimate in Hebrew docrine'? Why are you and Madonna the only two people who claim this? :)
Madonna is an idiot. I am not out to do anything other than give you a very real hands on piece of scripture...very powerful in its content and as equally powerful in its spiritual makeup. It repudiates the Catholic notion of purgatory, and substantiates the existance of Hell...which if you are perseverant in the quest for the TRUTH, will aviod.
Why do I need the Book of Enoch? I guess if a person wants to not believe what Jesus said about Hell in the Gospels, then they need the Book of Enoch. How sad!

How mysterious can the Nephilim really be if you Google their name and get over 400,000 hits???
--Boot Hill
Paul The Apostle quoted Greek Men of natural wisdom. They were not Christians. What Jude wrote...copied in part....verbattum...was from a Hebrew Scripture known as 1 ENOCH. I do not have to debate this with you or anyone else...I want to! I will if I must, but I suggest that you pray to God for guidance, investigate the scripture written in Hebrew thousands of years ago for yourself and then, only then make your own assessment. Look for the Truth...Do not be guided by the already ingrained deceptions of the foolish many.
Read my post in 35 and see if you agree with it.
The ancient pyramids were really built by,...The Magical Midgets of Masonite,....an underground secret(MMM) Lodge...
/sarcasm
My initial response to this post was to give you the root source of the substantiated Nephilim in Hebrew Scripture. They did not and would not have built the pyramids of Egypt. They were too greedy, too lazy, and too evil to have created something so long lasting and beautiful as The Great Pyramids. The Nephilim are not the demons of scripture...the demons/devils were around long before the abominations came about. God destroyed the last remaining of them in the Great Flood. They became the "Evil Spirits", the only "Spirits" who walk the Earth. There are no "Ghosts"...not one. The dead are "Asleep" until the "Judgement of the Goats and the Sheep". Like I said...Pray To God, for Discerning Truth ...Then, Love Everyone Deserving...otherwise "Cast them to Satan, that they might be saved in "Day of the Lord". (And yes, that includes The Muslims). Goodnight...
Either He is who He says He is, or not. All the evidence completely confirms He was. Therefore, Jesus believed in heaven, hell, angels, demons, Noah, the flood, Genesis, etc., and therefore they all must be accurate. End of story. Once Jesus is proved as the Man, then there really are no more arguments.
