The Nephilim and Pyramid of Apocalypse Read Online Free Page B

other hand, was between 16 and 17 years of age. He was so scrawny that, when they put the armour on him, he could not move. So he discarded this and went out to meet Goliath armed only with a shepherd’s crook and a sling. He chose five stones, which is significant, 28 but only needed one to bring down the giant. When the stone sunk into Goliath’s forehead, he had not even bothered to draw his sword, such was his disdain for this unworthy whelp of an opponent. David subsequently drew out Goliath’s sword and used it to chop off his head.
    This victory by David was the beginning of his rise to the eventual kingship of Israel.
    Now we go forward in time to note some more battles and obtain further evidence concerning the descendants of Rapha , who were of the Nephilim. First to the second book of Samuel:

    Moreover the Philistines had yet war with Israel; and David went down and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines; and David waxed faint.
    And Ishbi-Benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass, he being girded with a new sword, said that he would slay David. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him and smote the Philistine and killed him.
    And it came to pass after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the son of the giant.
    And Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim, a Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam ( This giant was different from the Goliath David slew ) .
    And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
    And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shameah, the brother of David, slew him.
    These four were born to the giant in Gath and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
    2nd Book of Samuel 21:15-22

    This record is corroborated in the first Book of Chronicles, which adds in some extra information:

    And it came to pass after this there arose a war at Gezer with the Philistines at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant, and they were subdued.
    And Elehanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite . . .
    And yet there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, six on each foot, and he also was the son of the giant.
    Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, slew him. These were born unto the giant in Gath and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
    1st Book of Chronicles 20:4-8

    There are other passages not quoted which make mention of the Rephaim, which were another branch of the Nephilim . But I believe enough evidence is provided to give us a broad picture of the existence of this race of giants and the area they inhabited. 29
    In conclusion, let us briefly summarise the major points in this chapter.
    We have seen that a group of spirit beings, called sons of God , took human women to wife and produced offspring. The record states that they chose “wives,” which would suggest polygamy. The offspring they produced were superhuman in size and character and were monsters of iniquity.
    The first irruption was before the Flood of Noah, which killed all living things on the Earth, according to Genesis. But we are told that there was a second irruption by the words “and also after that” – i.e. after the Flood.
    So all the way down from the time of Abraham (1912 BC) to the entry into the Promised Land by Joshua (1451 BC) and to the time of David (974 BC; see App. 1), these giants were numerous in the land. This is a period of almost 1,000 years. But the land we have described here was called the land of Canaan. There is absolutely no
