Genesis
6:4
THERE WERE GIANTS (The Nephilim, OR The
Fallen Ones, OR The Mighty Ones), ON THE EARTH – IN THOSE DAYS, AND ALSO –
AFTERWARD (AFTER THE GREAT FLOOD) . . .
THOSE (The Giants, OR The Nephilim, OR The Fallen Ones, OR The Mighty
Ones) – WERE, THE
MIGHTY MEN – WHO WERE Of
OLD – MEN Of RENOWN!
Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD
Almighty; IF The Giants Were Destroyed, With THE GREAT FLOOD; How Did They
Exist – AFTER THE GREAT FLOOD?
Genesis
6:9b
NOAH WAS A JUST MAN –
PERFECT – IN HIS GENERATIONS (i.e. NO Mixing Of Fallen Angels – With ANY Of HIS
Ancestors)!
Folks, With All
Likelihood, The Fallen Angels, Mixing With, The Daughters Of Men, Genetic
Material (i.e. DNA), Probably, Continued On, THROUGH The Wives Of The Sons Of
Noah: Shem, Ham, And Japheth; And Since, The Land Of Canaanites, IS The Land,
GOD Almighty PROMISED – TO Abraham, And His Descendants; We Will Concentrate
Our Focus, THERE!
Genesis
9:18-19
Now, The Sons Of Noah, Who Went Out Of THE
ARK, WERE: Shem, Ham, And Japheth! And
Ham – WAS, The Father
Of Canaan! THESE THREE – WERE, The Sons Of Noah; And
From THESE – The Whole Earth Was Populated!
Question: Why Point Out, That Ham, Was The
Father Of Canaan?
Genesis
9:20-23
And Noah Began – TO BE A Farmer; And He (Noah)
Planted A Vineyard! THEN, He (Noah)
Drank Of The Wine, And Was Drunk, And Became Uncovered, In His Tent! And Ham, The Father Of Canaan, Saw The
Nakedness Of His Father (Noah), And Told His Two Brothers – Outside! BUT, Shem And Japheth, Took A Garment,
Laid IT – On Both Their
Shoulders; And Went Backward, And Covered – The Nakedness Of Their Father
(Noah)! Their Faces – WERE Turned Away; And They Did NOT See
– Their Father’s (Noah’s) Nakedness!
SO, Noah Awoke, From His Wine, And Knew,
What His Younger Son (Ham) Had Done To Him!
THEN, He (Noah) Said: “CURSED – BE CANAAN; A Servant Of Servants,
He (Canaan) Shall Be – To His Brethren!”
Question: Why Did Ham, Go Into His
Father’s (Noah’s) Tent, In The First Place?
Answer: I Do NOT Know! BUT, IT
Was Probably NOT – For A Good Reason!
And Why Did Noah, CURSE Ham’s Son – Canaan, And NOT Ham, Himself? Answer: Again, I Do NOT Know! BUT, IT IS Curious!
Genesis
10:1, 6-20
NOW THIS – IS The Genealogy Of The Sons Of
Noah: Shem, Ham, And Japheth! And Sons
Were Born To Them – AFTER THE FLOOD!
The Sons Of Ham – WERE: Cush, Mizraim, Put, And
Canaan! The Sons Of Cush – WERE: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, And Sabtechah; And The
Sons Of Raamah – WERE: Sheba
and Dedan!
Cush Begot Nimrod (Meaning, To Rebel); He (Nimrod) Began, To Be A
Mighty One (Rebelling AGAINST GOD Almighty) – On The Earth! He (Nimrod) Was – A Mighty Hunter (Of
Men, i.e. Mankind – Cannibalism) – Before (aka AGAINST) THE LORD (GOD
Almighty); Therefore, IT IS Said, “Like Nimrod, The Mighty Hunter (Of Men, i.e.
Mankind – Cannibalism) – Before (aka AGAINST) THE LORD (GOD Almighty)!” And The Beginning Of His (Nimrod’s) Kingdom –
WAS Babel, Erech, Accad, And Calneh – IN The Land Of Shinar! From THAT Land, He (Nimrod) Went To
Assyria, And Built: Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, And Resen, Between Nineveh And
Calah (THAT IS – The
Principal City)!
Mizraim Begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, And
Casluhim (From Whom, Came – The Philistines And Caphtorim)!
Canaan Begot Sidon, His
Firstborn, And Heth; The Jebusite, The Amorite, And The Girgashite; The
Hivite, The Arkite, And The Sinite; The Arvadite, The Zemarite, And The
Hamathite! Afterward, The Families Of
The Canaanites – Were Dispersed! And The
Border Of The Canaanites, Was From Sidon, As YOU Go, Toward Gerar, As Far As,
Gaza; THEN, As YOU Go, Toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, And Zeboiim, As Far As,
Lasha! THESE – WERE The Sons Of Ham, According To Their Families, According
To Their Languages – IN Their Lands, AND IN Their Nations!

Now, Let Me Stop HERE,
And Say THIS; The Old Testament, IS FILLED, With The Children Of Israel,
DESTROYING Nations, As They Moved Into – THE PROMISED LAND; BUT, Have YOU Ever
Thought About – The Why? Why Did GOD
Almighty Have The Children Of Israel DESTROY – THESE Particular People? Was IT, Just Because, GOD Almighty Wanted The
Children Of Israel – TO POSSESS THIS LAND; OR Was IT – For A Specific Reason? WHO WERE (OR Should I Say, WHAT WERE), The
People, Who Lived, IN THE PROMISED LAND, BEFORE The Children Of Israel,
DISPOSSESSED THEM?
So, Just
How Tall Were The Amorite Giants?
Amos 2:9-10
THUS SAYS, THE LORD (GOD
Almighty): “YET, IT
WAS I (GOD Almighty), WHO DESTROYED
THE AMORITE, BEFORE THEM; WHOSE HEIGHT – WAS LIKE, THE HEIGHT Of THE
CEDARS; AND HE
(The Amorite) – WAS AS STRONG,
AS THE OAKS; YET,
I (GOD Almighty) DESTROYED HIS FRUIT – ABOVE, AND HIS ROOTS – BENEATH! ALSO, IT WAS I (GOD Almighty), WHO BROUGHT YOU UP – FROM THE LAND Of EGYPT; AND LED YOU, FORTY YEARS –
THROUGH THE WILDERNESS; TO POSSESS THE LAND Of THE AMORITE!”
[Note:
Cedar Trees Could Grow, As Tall As – 80 Cubits OR 120 Feet]
Next, A
Battle Of Four (4) Kings – AGAINST Giants!
Genesis 14:5-7
IN The Fourteenth (14th)
Year, Chedorlaomer (King Of Elam), AND The Kings, That WERE – WITH Him (Amraphel, King Of Shinar, Arioch, King Of
Ellasar, And Tidal, King Of Nations; i.e. Four Kings, In All); CAME AND
ATTACKED – The Rephaim, IN Ashteroth Karnaim, The Zuzim, IN Ham, The
Emim, IN Shaveh Kiriathaim, And The Horites, IN Their Mountain Of Seir – As Far
As, El Paran; Which IS, By
The Wilderness! THEN, They (Chedorlaomer
And The Kings, With Him) Turned Back, And Came, To En Mishpat (THAT IS, Kadesh), AND ATTACKED – All
The Country Of The Amalekites, And Also, The Amorites, Who Dwelt, IN
Hazezon Tamar!
That’s Right, The Rephaim, The Zuzim,
The Emim, The Horites, The Amalekites, And The Amorites – WERE Giants (The
Nephilim, OR The Fallen Ones, OR The Mighty Ones)!
Abram (aka Abraham) Has Giant Allies!
Genesis
14:13
THEN One, Who Had
Escaped, Came And Told Abram (aka Abraham), The Hebrew; For He
(Abram, aka Abraham) Dwelt, By The Terebinth Trees Of Mamre – The Amorite (i.e.
The Nephilim OR The Giants), Brother Of Eshcol, And Brother Of Aner; And
They (Mamre, Eshcol, And Aner) WERE Allies
– With Abram (aka Abraham)!
NEXT, GOD Almighty MAKES A COVENANT –
WITH ABRAM (aka Abraham)!
Genesis 15:18-21
ON THE SAME DAY, THE LORD (GOD Almighty) MADE A COVENANT, WITH ABRAM
(aka Abraham), SAYING: “TO YOUR DESCENDANTS – I (GOD Almighty) HAVE GIVEN –
THIS LAND; FROM THE RIVER Of EGYPT – TO THE GREAT RIVER – THE RIVER, EUPHRATES
— THE KENITES, THE KENEZZITES, THE KADMONITES, THE HITTITES, THE
PERIZZITES, THE REPHAIM, THE AMORITES, THE CANAANITES, THE GIRGASHITES, AND THE
JEBUSITES!”
GOD Almighty – COMES AND DELIVERS – The Children Of Israel!
Exodus 3:7-8
AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID: “I (GOD Almighty) HAVE
SURELY SEEN – THE OPPRESSION Of MY PEOPLE (The Children Of Israel), WHO ARE, IN EGYPT; AND HAVE HEARD
THEIR CRY, BECAUSE Of THEIR TASKMASTERS; FOR I (GOD Almighty) KNOW –
THEIR SORROWS! SO, I (GOD Almighty)
HAVE COME DOWN – TO DELIVER THEM (The Children Of Israel) – OUT Of THE HAND Of
THE EGYPTIANS; AND TO BRING THEM UP, FROM THAT LAND, TO A GOOD AND LARGE
LAND; TO A LAND, FLOWING, WITH MILK AND HONEY; TO THE PLACE Of THE
CANAANITES, AND THE HITTITES, AND THE AMORITES, AND THE PERIZZITES, AND THE
HIVITES, AND THE JEBUSITES (i.e. The Land Of Giants)!”
Finally, The Children Of Israel – BEGIN Their Quest; TO TAKE
– The Land Of Canaan!
Numbers 13:1-2, 21-23a, 27-29,
32-33
AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SPOKE TO MOSES, SAYING, “SEND
MEN, TO SPY OUT – THE LAND Of CANAAN; WHICH, I (GOD Almighty) AM GIVING – TO
THE CHILDREN Of ISRAEL; FROM EACH TRIBE Of THEIR FATHERS – YOU SHALL SEND A
MAN; EVERY ONE – A LEADER, AMONG THEM!”
SO, They Went Up, And Spied Out – The Land; From The
Wilderness Of Zin, As Far As Rehob, Near The Entrance Of Hamath! And They Went Up, Through The South, And Came
To Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, And Talmai, The Descendants Of Anak – WERE THERE! (Now, Hebron, Was
Built Seven Years, Before, Zoan, IN Egypt!)
THEN, They Came, To The Valley Of Eshcol; And
THERE, Cut Down A Branch, With One Cluster Of Grapes; They Carried IT (The
Cluster Of Grapes), Between Two Of Them, On A Pole!
THEN, They Told Him (Moses), And Said: “We Went To The Land, Where YOU Sent Us! IT Truly Flows, With Milk And Honey
(i.e. Has An Abundance Of Food), AND THIS – IS ITS FRUIT! Nevertheless, The People Who Dwell, In The Land – ARE Strong; The Cities – ARE Fortified, AND Very Large; Moreover, We Saw
The Descendants Of Anak (Ahiman, Sheshai, And Talmai) – THERE! The Amalekites Dwell – IN The Land Of The
South; The Hittites, The Jebusites, And The Amorites Dwell – IN The Mountains;
And The Canaanites Dwell – By The Sea, And Along The Banks Of The Jordan!”
And They
(Except, Joshua And Caleb) Gave, The Children Of Israel, A Bad Report Of
The Land, Which They Had Spied Out, Saying, “The Land, Through Which, We Have
Gone, As Spies – IS A
Land, That Devours Its Inhabitants (i.e. Mankind – Cannibalism); And All
The People, Whom We Saw In IT – ARE MEN
Of GREAT STATURE! THERE, We Saw The
Giants (The Nephilim, OR The Fallen Ones, OR The Mighty Ones) – The Descendants
Of Anak, Came From – The Giants (The Nephilim); And We Were, Like
Grasshoppers (i.e. As Mere Insects) – IN Our Own Sight; And So, We Were (i.e.
As Mere Insects) – IN Their Sight!”
Deuteronomy 2:1, 10-12,
20-23
“THEN, We
(The Children Of Israel) Turned, And Journeyed – Into The Wilderness Of
The Way Of The Red Sea; AS, THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SPOKE TO ME (Moses);
And We Skirted (Circled Around) Mount Seir, For Many Days!”
“The Emim, Had Dwelt There (The Wilderness Of Moab), IN Times
Past; A People, As Great, And Numerous, And Tall – As The Anakim! They (The Emim) Were Also Regarded, As Giants
(Rephaim), Like The Anakim; BUT, The Moabites, Call Them – Emim! The Horites, Formerly Dwelt, IN Seir; BUT,
The Descendants Of Esau, Dispossessed Them, And Destroyed Them, From Before
Them (The Descendants Of Esau), And Dwelt, IN Their Place; Just As, Israel Did,
To The Land Of Their Possession, Which THE LORD (GOD Almighty) – GAVE Them!”
“THAT (The Land Of The People Of Ammon), Was Also Regarded –
As A Land Of Giants (Rephaim); Giants Formerly Dwelt – THERE! BUT, The Ammonites, Call Them –
Zamzummim; A People, As Great, And Numerous, And Tall – As The Anakim! BUT, THE LORD (GOD Almighty) DESTROYED Them,
Before Them (The Ammonites), And They Dispossessed Them, And Dwelt, IN Their
Place; Just As, HE (GOD Almighty) HAD DONE – For The Descendants Of
Esau, Who Dwelt, IN Seir; WHEN, HE (GOD Almighty) DESTROYED The
Horites, From Before Them (The Descendants Of Esau)! They Dispossessed Them, And Dwelt, IN Their
Place; Even, To THIS Day! And The
Avim, Who Dwelt, IN Villages, As Far As Gaza — The Caphtorim, Who Came From Caphtor,
Destroyed Them, And Dwelt, IN Their Place!”
Deuteronomy 2:24-25,
30-33, 36
“AND THE
LORD (GOD Almighty) SPOKE TO ME (Moses), SAYING: ‘RISE, TAKE
YOUR JOURNEY, AND CROSS OVER – THE RIVER ARNON! LOOK, I (GOD Almighty) HAVE GIVEN, INTO YOUR
HAND – SIHON, THE AMORITE, KING Of HESHBON, AND HIS LAND! BEGIN TO POSSESS IT, AND ENGAGE HIM, IN BATTLE! THIS DAY – I (GOD Almighty) WILL BEGIN TO PUT
– THE DREAD AND FEAR Of YOU (The Children Of Israel) – UPON THE NATIONS, UNDER
THE WHOLE HEAVEN (i.e. Everywhere, Under The Heavens); WHO SHALL HEAR – THE
REPORT Of YOU; AND SHALL TREMBLE, AND BE – IN ANGUISH, BECAUSE Of YOU!’”
“BUT, Sihon, King Of Heshbon, Would NOT
Let Us (The Children Of Israel), Pass Through; For THE LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD
Almighty) – Hardened His Spirit, And Made His Heart – Obstinate; THAT, HE
(GOD Almighty) MIGHT DELIVER Him (Sihon) – Into Your Hand; AS IT IS, THIS DAY! AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID TO ME
(Moses), ‘SEE, I (GOD Almighty) HAVE BEGUN – TO GIVE SIHON, AND HIS LAND, OVER
TO YOU (The Children Of Israel)! BEGIN
TO POSSESS IT; THAT,
YOU MAY INHERIT HIS LAND!’ THEN, Sihon,
And All His People, Came Out – Against Us (The Children Of Israel), To Fight,
At Jahaz! AND THE LORD, OUR GOD (GOD
Almighty) DELIVERED Him (Sihon) – Over To Us; SO, We Defeated Him (Sihon),
His Sons, And All His People!”
“From Aroer, Which IS, On The Bank Of The River
Arnon; And FROM The
City, THAT IS – IN
The Ravine, As Far As – Gilead; There Was NOT One City, Too Strong, For Us (The
Children Of Israel); THE LORD, OUR GOD (GOD Almighty) DELIVERED ALL – TO
Us!”
[More About, The Defeat
Of King Sihon, See: Numbers 21:21-32]
Deuteronomy 3:1-5,
8-11, 13, 21-22
“THEN,
We (The Children Of Israel) Turned, And Went Up The Road – To Bashan;
And Og, King Of Bashan, Came Out – Against Us; He (Og), And All His People
– To Battle, At Edrei! AND THE LORD
(GOD Almighty) SAID TO ME (Moses), ‘DO NOT FEAR HIM (Og); FOR I (GOD Almighty)
HAVE DELIVERED HIM (Og), AND ALL HIS PEOPLE, AND HIS LAND – INTO YOUR HAND; YOU
SHALL DO TO HIM (Og) – AS YOU DID, TO SIHON, KING Of THE AMORITES; WHO
DWELT – AT HESHBON!’”
“SO, THE
LORD, OUR GOD (GOD Almighty), ALSO, DELIVERED – Into Our Hands – Og, King Of
Bashan, With All His People; And We Attacked Him (Og) – Until He Had – NO
Survivors, Remaining! And We Took – All
His Cities, At That Time; There Was NOT A City, Which We Did NOT Take – From
Them: Sixty (60) Cities – All The Region Of Argob, The Kingdom Of Og, IN
Bashan! All These Cities – WERE Fortified, With High Walls,
Gates, And Bars; Besides, A Great Many Rural Towns!”
“AND AT
THAT TIME, We (The Children Of Israel) Took The Land – From The Hand Of
The Two Kings Of The Amorites (Sihon, King Of Heshbon, AND Og, King Of Bashan);
WHO WERE – On THIS Side Of
The Jordan; FROM The River Arnon – TO Mount Hermon (The Sidonians,
Call Hermon – Sirion; AND The Amorites, Call IT – Senir); All The Cities
Of The Plain, All Gilead, AND All Bashan; As Far As, Salcah AND Edrei –
Cities Of The Kingdom Of Og, IN Bashan!”
“For ONLY Og, King Of
Bashan, Remained – Of The Remnant Of The Giants (The Rephaim)! Indeed, His Bedstead – WAS An Iron Bedstead! (IS IT NOT, IN Rabbah, Of
The People Of Ammon?) Nine (9) Cubits (About 13-1/2 Feet) – IS Its Length, AND Four (4)
Cubits (About 6 Feet) – Its Width, According To The Standard Cubit!”
“The Rest Of Gilead, And
All Bashan, The Kingdom Of Og, I (Moses) Gave – To Half The Tribe Of Manasseh!
(All The Region Of Argob, With All Bashan, Was Called – The Land Of The Giants
(The Rephaim)!”
“And I
(Moses) Commanded Joshua, At That Time, Saying, ‘Your Eyes, Have Seen All, THAT
THE LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS DONE, To THESE Two Kings; SO, WILL THE
LORD (GOD Almighty) DO – To All The Kingdoms, Through Which, YOU Pass! YOU (Joshua) Must NOT Fear Them; FOR THE
LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty), HIMSELF – FIGHTS FOR YOU!’”
[More
About, The Defeat Of King Og, SEE: Numbers 21:33-35]
Deuteronomy 7:1-2
“WHEN, THE
LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty), BRINGS YOU – Into The Land, Which YOU Go
To Possess; And Has CAST OUT Many Nations, Before YOU – The Hittites,
And The Girgashites, And The Amorites, And The Canaanites, And The Perizzites,
And The Hivites, And The Jebusites; Seven Nations, Greater And Mightier, Than
YOU; AND WHEN, THE LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty) DELIVERS Them – Over To
YOU; YOU Shall CONQUER Them, AND UTTERLY
DESTROY Them! YOU Shall Make NO Covenant
– With Them; NOR Show Mercy – To Them! NOR
Shall YOU Make Marriages – With Them!
YOU Shall NOT Give Your Daughter – To THEIR Son; NOR Take THEIR Daughter
– For Your Son! FOR THEY WILL TURN YOUR
SONS AWAY – FROM FOLLOWING ME (GOD Almighty) – TO SERVE Other gods; SO, THE
ANGER Of THE LORD (GOD Almighty) WILL BE AROUSED – AGAINST YOU, AND DESTROY YOU
– SUDDENLY! BUT THUS, YOU Shall Deal –
With Them: YOU Shall DESTROY – Their Altars, AND BREAK DOWN – Their SACRED Pillars, AND CUT DOWN – Their
Wooden Images (Of Canaanite Deities), AND BURN – Their Carved Images, With Fire!”
Deuteronomy 9:1-3
“HEAR, O
ISRAEL: YOU – ARE TO CROSS
OVER THE JORDAN, TODAY; AND GO IN – TO DISPOSSESS NATIONS, GREATER AND MIGHTIER,
THAN YOURSELF; CITIES, GREAT AND FORTIFIED – UP TO HEAVEN; A PEOPLE, GREAT AND TALL
– THE DESCENDANTS Of THE ANAKIM; WHOM, YOU KNOW, AND Of WHOM, YOU HEARD – IT SAID, ‘WHO CAN STAND BEFORE – THE
DESCENDANTS Of ANAK?’ THEREFORE, UNDERSTAND
TODAY – THAT, THE LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty) – IS HE, WHO GOES OVER, BEFORE YOU – AS A CONSUMING FIRE! HE (GOD Almighty) WILL DESTROY THEM, AND BRING
THEM DOWN, BEFORE YOU; SO, YOU SHALL DRIVE THEM OUT, AND DESTROY THEM, QUICKLY
– AS THE LORD (GOD Almighty) HAS SAID TO YOU!”
Joshua 11:16-17a, 19, 21-22
Thus,
Joshua Took – All THIS Land: The Mountain Country, All The South, All
The Land Of Goshen, The Lowland, And The Jordan Plain (aka Arabah) — The
Mountains Of Israel, And Its Lowlands; From Mount Halak (aka The Smooth OR Bald
Mountain) And The Ascent To Seir; Even, As Far As, Baal Gad – IN The Valley Of
Lebanon, Below Mount Hermon! There Was NOT A City,
That Made Peace – With The Children Of Israel; Except, The Hivites – The
Inhabitants Of Gibeon!
AND AT
THAT TIME – Joshua Came, And Cut Off – The Anakim, From The Mountains:
From Hebron, From Debir, From Anab, From All The Mountains Of Judah, And From
All The Mountains Of Israel; Joshua UTTERLY DESTROYED Them – With Their
Cities! None Of The Anakim Were Left –
IN The Land Of The Children Of Israel; They (The Anakim) Remained ONLY – IN
Gaza, IN Gath, And IN Ashdod!
Joshua 12:7-8
AND
THESE – ARE The Kings
Of The Country, Which Joshua, And The Children Of Israel Conquered – On
THIS Side Of The Jordan; On The West, From Baal Gad – IN The Valley Of Lebanon,
As Far As – Mount Halak (The Bald Mountain), And The Ascent To Seir, Which
Joshua Gave – To The Tribes Of Israel – AS A POSSESSION, According To Their Divisions; IN The
Mountain Country, IN The Lowlands, IN THE JORDAN PLAIN, IN The Slopes, IN The Wilderness, And IN The
South — The Hittites, The Amorites, The Canaanites, The Perizzites, The
Hivites, And The Jebusites (i.e. The Giants)!
[Note:
Joshua 12:9-24 Gives, A Detailed List Of The Kings.]
Joshua 13:1-7
NOW,
JOSHUA WAS OLD, ADVANCED IN YEARS!
AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SAID TO HIM: “YOU ARE OLD, ADVANCED IN
YEARS; AND THERE REMAINS, VERY MUCH LAND – YET, TO BE POSSESSED! THIS, IS THE LAND, THAT YET –
REMAINS: ALL THE TERRITORY Of THE PHILISTINES; AND ALL, THAT Of THE GESHURITES,
FROM SIHOR, WHICH IS, EAST
Of EGYPT, AS FAR AS, THE BORDER Of EKRON, NORTHWARD (WHICH IS COUNTED, AS CANAANITE); THE FIVE LORDS Of THE
PHILISTINES — THE GAZITES, THE ASHDODITES, THE ASHKELONITES, THE GITTITES, AND
THE EKRONITES; ALSO, THE AVITES; FROM THE SOUTH – ALL THE LAND Of THE
CANAANITES, AND MEARAH, THAT BELONGS – TO THE SIDONIANS, AS FAR AS APHEK – TO
THE BORDER Of THE AMORITES; THE LAND Of THE GEBALITES (aka Giblites),
AND ALL LEBANON, TOWARD THE SUNRISE; FROM BAAL GAD, BELOW MOUNT HERMON, AS
FAR AS, THE ENTRANCE TO HAMATH; ALL THE INHABITANTS Of THE MOUNTAINS, FROM
LEBANON, AS FAR AS, THE BROOK MISREPHOTH (i.e. Burnings Of Water), AND ALL THE SIDONIANS —
THEM, I (GOD Almighty) WILL DRIVE OUT – FROM BEFORE, THE CHILDREN Of
ISRAEL; ONLY DIVIDE IT, BY LOT – TO ISRAEL, AS AN INHERITANCE; AS, I
(GOD Almighty) HAVE COMMANDED YOU! NOW
THEREFORE, DIVIDE THIS LAND – AS AN INHERITANCE, TO THE NINE TRIBES, AND HALF
THE TRIBE Of MANASSEH!”
Joshua 15:13-14
NOW, To Caleb, The Son Of Jephunneh, He (Joshua) Gave A
Share, Among The Children Of Judah; According To The Commandment Of THE
LORD (GOD Almighty) – TO Joshua; NAMELY
– Kirjath Arba, Which IS –
Hebron (ARBA – WAS, The
Father Of Anak; AND ARBA – WAS, The
Greatest Man, Among The Anakim)! Caleb Drove Out – The
Three Sons Of Anak, From THERE (Hebron): Sheshai, Ahiman, And Talmai – The
Children Of Anak!
Joshua 24:11-13
And Joshua
Said To All The People, “THUS, SAYS THE LORD, GOD Of ISRAEL: ‘THEN, YOU
Went Over The Jordan, And Came To Jericho!
And The Men Of Jericho – Fought Against YOU — ALSO, The Amorites, The
Perizzites, The Canaanites, The Hittites, The Girgashites, The Hivites, And The
Jebusites (i.e. The Giants)! BUT, I (GOD
Almighty) DELIVERED Them – Into Your Hand!
I (GOD Almighty) SENT THE HORNET – BEFORE YOU; WHICH DROVE THEM OUT,
FROM BEFORE YOU; ALSO, The
Two Kings Of The Amorites (Sihon, King Of Heshbon, AND Og, King Of
Bashan); BUT, NOT
With Your Sword, OR With Your Bow (i.e. BY THE HAND Of GOD Almighty)! I (GOD Almighty) HAVE GIVEN YOU – A LAND, For
Which, YOU Did NOT Labor, And Cities, Which YOU Did NOT Build, And YOU
Dwell – IN Them; YOU Eat Of The Vineyards, And Olive Groves, Which YOU Did NOT
Plant!’”
AND Even Afterwards, The Children Of Israel, Still Had To
Deal – With Giants!
1 Samuel 17:4-7, 40, 45-46a, 49-51, 54
And A
Champion, Went Out, From The Camp Of The Philistines – Named Goliath,
From Gath; Whose Height – WAS Six
(6) Cubits AND A Span (About 9-3/4 Feet)!
HE (Goliath) HAD –
A Bronze Helmet – On His Head; And He (Goliath) – WAS Armed, With A Coat Of Mail; And The Weight Of The Coat –
WAS Five Thousand (5,000)
Shekels Of Bronze! And HE (Goliath) HAD Bronze
Armor – On His Legs; And A Bronze Javelin – Between His Shoulders! NOW, The Staff Of His Spear – WAS Like, A Weaver’s Beam; And
His Iron Spearhead – WEIGHED Six
Hundred (600) Shekels; And A Shield-Bearer Went Before Him!
THEN, He (David) Took His
Staff – IN His Hand; And He Chose, For Himself – Five (5) Smooth Stones, From
The Brook; And Put Them, IN A Shepherd’s Bag, IN A Pouch, Which He Had; And His
Sling Was – IN His Hand! And He (David)
Drew Near – To The Philistine (Goliath)!
THEN,
DAVID SAID, TO THE PHILISTINE (Goliath), “YOU COME TO ME, WITH A SWORD, WITH A
SPEAR, AND WITH A JAVELIN! BUT, I
(David) COME TO YOU – IN THE NAME Of THE LORD Of HOSTS, THE GOD Of THE ARMIES
Of ISRAEL; WHOM, YOU HAVE DEFIED!
THIS DAY – THE LORD (GOD Almighty) WILL DELIVER YOU – INTO MY HAND,
AND I WILL STRIKE YOU, AND TAKE YOUR HEAD – FROM YOU!”
THEN,
David Put His Hand – IN His Bag, And Took Out – A Stone; And He (David) – SLUNG
IT, AND STRUCK The
Philistine (Goliath) – IN His Forehead; So That, THE STONE SANK – Into His
(Goliath’s) Forehead, And He Fell – On His Face, To The Earth! SO, David Prevailed – Over The Philistine
(Goliath), With A Sling, And A Stone; And Struck The Philistine (Goliath)
– And Killed Him! BUT, THERE WAS NO Sword – IN
The Hand Of David! Therefore, David Ran,
And Stood Over – The Philistine; Took His (Goliath’s) Sword, And Drew IT,
Out Of Its Sheath; And Killed Him, And Cut Off His (Goliath’s) Head – With
IT! And When The Philistines
Saw, That Their Champion, (Goliath), Was Dead – They Fled! And David Took – The Head Of The
Philistine (Goliath), And Brought IT – To Jerusalem; BUT, He (David) Put His
(Goliath’s) Armor – IN His Tent!
2 Samuel 21:15-22
WHEN,
The Philistines, Were At War, Again, With Israel; David And His Servants, With
Him, Went Down, And Fought – Against The Philistines; AND David Grew
Faint! THEN, Ishbi-Benob, WHO WAS – One Of The Sons Of
The Giant (Raphah); The Weight, Of Whose, Bronze Spear – WAS THREE HUNDRED (300) SHEKELS; Who Was Bearing – A NEW
SWORD; Thought, He Could
Kill David! BUT, Abishai, The Son
Of Zeruiah – Came To His (David’s) Aid; And Struck The Philistine, And Killed
Him! THEN, The Men Of David, Swore To
Him, Saying, “YOU (David) SHALL GO OUT, NO MORE, WITH Us – TO BATTLE;
LEST, YOU QUENCH – THE LAMP Of ISRAEL!”
NOW IT HAPPENED,
AFTERWARD; THAT, There Was Again, A Battle, With The Philistines, At Gob! THEN, Sibbechai, The Hushathite, Killed
Saph (aka Sippai); WHO WAS –
One Of The Sons Of The Giant (Raphah)!
AGAIN, There Was War, At
Gob, With The Philistines; Where, Elhanan, The Son Of Jaare-Oregim (aka Jair),
The Bethlehemite, Killed (Lahmi) – THE
BROTHER Of Goliath, The Gittite; The Shaft Of Whose
Spear – WAS Like, A
Weaver’s Beam.
YET AGAIN, There Was
War, At Gath; Where, There Was A Man Of GREAT Stature; WHO HAD SIX (6) FINGERS – ON EACH HAND, AND
SIX (6) TOES – ON EACH FOOT – TWENTY-FOUR, IN NUMBER; AND He Also, Was Born To
The Giant (Raphah)! SO, When
He Defied Israel – Jonathan, The Son Of Shimea (aka Shammah), David’s
Brother, Killed Him!
THESE FOUR, Were Born To
The Giant (Raphah), IN Gath; AND Fell, By The Hand Of David, AND By The Hand Of
His Servants!
1 Kings 9:20-21
All The
People – WHO WERE Left
Of The Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, And Jebusites (i.e. The Giants)
– WHO WERE NOT Of The
Children Of Israel — THAT IS, Their Descendants, Who Were Left, IN The
Land, AFTER Them; Whom, The Children Of Israel, Had NOT Been Able To
Destroy, Completely — From THESE (The Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites,
And Jebusites) – Solomon Raised Forced Labor; AS IT IS – TO THIS DAY!
Finally, Let’s Answer,
THESE Questions: Why Did GOD Almighty Have The Children Of Israel DESTROY –
THESE Particular People? WHO WERE (OR
Should I Say, WHAT WERE), The People, Who Lived, IN THE PROMISED LAND, BEFORE
The Children Of Israel – DISPOSSESSED THEM?
Answer: THEY Were The
Giants (The Nephilim, OR The Rephaim, OR The Fallen Ones, OR The Mighty Ones,
etc.); AND They Were DESTROYED – BY GOD Almighty; TO PREVENT – THEIR POLLUTING
Of Mankind’s Genetic Material, i.e. Our DNA; AND Just As Importantly, Remember,
The Children Of Israel, Were WARNED, NOT To Take Wives, OR Husbands, FROM THESE
People, Either!
Here’s A Question, Which
Is Often Brought Up, THESE Days: Could The Giants “Reappear” Upon The Earth – IN
THESE, THE LAST DAYS (The End Times)?
Answer: Speaking ONLY,
For Myself; I Think, There Are Two Possibilities; Each Involving, Mankind
Messing, With Genetic Materials! One,
Mankind Uses The Genetic Material, From An Actual “Giant”, To Clone IT; And Two,
THROUGH Genetic Manipulation, Mankind Mistakenly, Initiates (OR Turns On), The
Sequencing Of A Dormant “Giant” Gene, CREATING – A New Giant Hybrid!
Do I Think, THAT Either
Of These Possibilities, Could OR Will OCCUR?
NO, BUT Anything Can Happen; Especially, AFTER The Being Caught Up
Together OCCURS!
Finally, Wherever YOU Are, Wherever
YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, IN The Natural Physical World, OR IN Cyber
World; Remember, The Being Caught Up Together IS
IMMINENT; And We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Want To Be
Found, By Jesus Christ, Himself – Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS; Which Is,
Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ – As Good AND Faithful Servants! Amen!
