Years ago I had a book WORD KEYS WHICH UNLOCK SCRIPTURE by Duane Edward Spencer.
In it he said the Nephilim were simply “Mighty men of stature” who were great warriors and were treated by their tribes as demi-gods. Nothing really spooky or fantastic about them.
The Greeks had their own versions written up in THE ILIAD. Most likely other tribes had the same.
“The Greeks had their own versions written up in THE ILIAD. Most likely other tribes had the same.”
Well, one counter to that argument is that the Greeks and other pagans also described some of these heroic figures as literal giants themselves. The “Titans”, for example in Greek mythology, or the “Jotuns” in Norse mythology. A study of comparative mythology shows that giants are one of the more common themes that pop up in myths all over the world.
Gee, now you've gone and spoiled all our fun!
