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."
humanity’s weight of sin was responsible for the flood.
the “rocks were alive” fails as many of the structures are a few centuries old and all are weather beaten.
The whole Nephilim were products of unions of men and angels fails as man is of dust and angels are non-corporeal
JohnHuang2 used to post a ton of articles. I wonder what ever happened to him.
I disagree bro, but I doubt if there is even one issue that I agree with you on. I am TOTALLY ok with that. I do agree with you on one thing, and it probably is the ONLY thing we will ever agree on. That is, I hope Trump is elected again. Other than that, we will not agree on anything. There is no reason to communicate with you. Have a nice eternity, if you make it. Now, let me read all the other responses.
Problem: a cubit is the length of a forearm of a normal Hebrew man. Why didn’t nephilim use a cubit measure of a man rather than their own forearm measure?
“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.’”
We now refer to them as Democrats.
Pyramid dimensions were measured by the Royal Cubit rather than the ordinary cubit
LOL. You might be on to something there. Maybe someone inadvertently left off the “n” and maybe it should be “demon crat” instead of democrat. 😁
I have been studying this for about five years; and it appears the interpretation you are presenting -- that the "giants" were the descendants of Cain and Seth -- did not exist until about the 4th century AD. Prior to that, it was almost universally accepted that heavenly angels rebelled, came down to earth, adopted the bodies of earthly men, married earthly women, and procreated hybrid offspring ("giants".) The spirits of the hybrid offspring became "demons" upon their deaths. The angels themselves were bound in "chains of darkness" until judgment day.
The angel rebellion was briefly mentioned in these passages from the New Testament:
"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;" -- 2Pet 2:4-5 KJV
"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." -- Jude 1:6 KJV
One must visit the intertestamental literature of Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher to grasp the full meaning. Recall that Jude wrote:
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." -- Jude 1:14-15 KJV
That passage is found in the book of Enoch, as expected:
"And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all 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." -- Enoch 1:9
Enoch also wrote of the angels marrying the daughters of men:
"And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness." -- Enoch 9:8-9 KJV
There is also a passage in the book of Jasher that possibly explains the enormous number of species that were not led to the ark by God, and therefore ended up as part of the fossil record. It states the animal kingdom was corrupted by the the hybridization of the animal species:
"And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals." -- Jasher 4:18 KJV
The canon concurs by stating that ALL flesh was corrupted (not just mankind,) which caused God to sent the flood to destroy all flesh -- both man and land animal -- along with the earth:
"And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." -- Gen 6:12-13 KJV
But Noah found grace.

Selah ... pause here, readers, to hear what the Spirit says.
And it will happen again - or it’s happening (now) again.
Luke 17:26
Matthew 24:37
This is why we keep repeating ourselves that you know squat about the Bible.
Your premise is false because you don’t care to look outside your little Preterist Catholic box.
Jude 1:6
Genesis 6 (specifically dives into that very subject).
If you still want to believe your nonsense then I will say there is none so blind as those who refuse to see - even after the evidence in God’s Holy Word is presented before them.
Your loss for not wanting to learn or even open your eyes.
R WarCriminal - making such statements is against the forums rules - you know “no personal attacks”
MHG - again, the “you spittle” - really against the rules of the forum.
I don’t know, he may have passed.

I would suggest reading a Bible - you may not have one, but I’d suggest getting one and reading it.
Angels are purely spiritual beings - which is why the Gnostics believed that Jesus was a phantasm
Different spacetime coordinate system - err... you do realize that the coordinate systems are in the same four dimensional construct, right?
Perhaps stringing together random words without the knowledge of what they mean isn’t the best idea for your posts, eh?
Bro, putting your own spin on what the Bible says is pretty wrong.
Angels are non-corporeal beings - beings of pure spirit.
I do suggest re-checking what you may watch on youtube bro - it is not the thing to base your faith on, bro
book of enoch in KJV?
>>book of enoch in KJV?
Perhaps you should read my post before asking questions about it.
