Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.

Nephilim

There has always been speculation about who or what the Nephilim were. If you don't know what the word means, you may understand it better by the King James Bible's definition.
Genesis 6:4- There were giants 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 same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Nephilim is the Hebrew word for the offspring of fallen angels and human women. These hybrid creatures were extremely tall, strong, and evil. They are the first mingling of two types of genetic code that should never be combined.
God had a very strict rule regarding Nephilim- kill them all without mercy.
Genesiss 6:7- And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
God chose the last pure human from among mankind, Noah, and told him to build an ark so that the human race would continue. God then brought to Noah two of every kind of unclean animal and seven of specific clean animals. This ensured that it was pure dna that entered the ark. Every other creature was destroyed during the flood.
The problem is that sin endured. Sin is part of our dna because of Adam and Eve taking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Their spirit died the moment they ate it. Their soul could now become corrupt. And, their body was changed into a form that would age and die. Sin infiltrated every aspect of our being.
God said that sin would kill us.
Romans 6:23a- For the wages of sin is death;
The problem was that the Nephilim were something very different from humans. They weren't as easy to kill. And, they were evil. And, Satan wasn't finished with his genetic modifications.
There are four words in Genesis 6:4 that you should pay attention to- and also after that.
The Nephilim were referred to as giants. And, they appeared in a specific line- Canaan.
As the Israelites travelled to the Promised Land, God puts something curious in Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy 2:10-12-  The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
These giants were all through the Middle East. And, different tribes of peoples wiped them out whenever they came to the area and found them.

Why? Because they knew something that most of us don't know- they are evil.
Giants are spoken of as myth and legend throughout most of the world. Like dragons, almost every culture has stories of these creatures- most of them as cannibalistic warriors.
So, God told the Children of Israel to wipe them out. Completely. Even the women and children. Because of His mercy for humanity.
Deuteronomy 3:1-6, 11- Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
But, the problem was that giants kept turning up throughout history. David killed Goliath. His men fought giants. These Nephilim kept appearing.
Even in what could be considered recent history- native american legend, referenced by American Presidents, burial sites found all over the world- there are stories of extraordinarily large being, some with double rows of teeth or six fingers, whose skeletons have been exhumed and quietly hidden away for some odd reason.
These genetic monstrosities don't deserve mercy. They deserve to be destroyed.
Satan isn't done with his dna manipulation. There is coming a time when you will have to accept what they Bible calls the "mark of the beast" or you will not be able to buy or sell. You'll starve or be hunted and killed.
But, this "mark" will ensure your eternal damnation.
Revelation 14:9-11- And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Why would God destroy these people when they only took this mark to be able to buy food? Because this mark is going to affect you on a molecular level, just like the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil did to Adam and Eve.
Revelation 9:6- And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
This mark will give these people a type of eternal life. But, this will be in a wicked, fallen state and they will automatically become like the Nephilim of old- evil.
The world is gearing up to get you to accept genetic abnormalities. Most Science Fiction movies have to do with aliens, vampires, werewolves, or mutants. Many of them now-a-days show these creatures as good and in desperate need of understanding and compassion. Why? So, the masses will accept them without question.
Let's take a look at just one story.
The Twilight Saga shows some "good" vampires who live among and help people. They are beautiful creatures who sparkle in the sunlight. One of them falls in love with a human. He spends much of his time trying to protect and save her. And, she in return, looks past his "souless" condition and accepts him and loves him. Together they have a hybrid creature. And, in the end she gains eternal life.
It's a very lovely story that many churches have accepted. They were both virgins when they married. They are faithful to each other and their families. They are trying to help humanity.
But, what does the Bible say?
Leviticus 17:12-  Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
Acts 15:29 - That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
God says not to drink blood- so they've broken one of God's commandments.
God describes a creature in the Bible that sparkles.
Ezekiel 1:4-7- And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
What was this creature? A cherubim. What Satan once was when his name was Lucifer and he served God in the throne room.
II Corinthians 11:13-15- For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
The great deceiver has a deception that he's been working on for years! And, he is about to implement his plan. Revelation says that he will deceive the whole world.
There is coming a day when the Nephilim will once more walk among us. And, you will have a chance to become like them- a mutant. But, don't be deceived into thinking that you will be good. You will become evil. You will become damned.
