The Democratization of the Nephilim: Another Data Point

11/26/2016

 
If you have anything more than a passing interest in understanding the "fringe" world, you're familiar with the Nephilim. These offspring of angels and humans, despite being mentioned by name only three times in the bible (Genesis 6, Ezekiel 32, and Numbers 13), are a growth industry. Their resume is no longer limited to serving as the whip hand of the conspiracy-rich bowels of occult Christianity but now also includes significant penetration into popular culture.  They've been adopted by vampire enthusiasts and they've got their own band and a role-playing game. The concept of human-supernatural sex was given some good PR by this Katy Perry song.  

While the Nephilim haven't reached Ancient Aliens and Atlantis status yet, they're clearly going in the right direction. At this rate, they'll probably be openly fielding political candidates by the time the 2020 election cycle begins.

Expanding the Nephilim franchise won't be without it's tensions. In traditional circles, Nephilim (at least in Genesis 6:4) are thought to be the offspring of male angels and female humans. Those "mighty men" apparently continued to pass on the supernatural genes, corrupting the human bloodline with their Nephilim DNA (albeit in a more diluted form as time went on). While I'm not sure what Nephilim fundamentalists think of the possibility of female Nephilim in this scenario, market realists will immediately recognize that limiting the illicit/supernatural Nephilim sex fantasies to males on females (and males on animals, as the case may be) will constrain growth. For those of you worried about the stagnation of Nephilim market capitalization, I'm happy to report a data point that suggests the forces of democratization continue to gain ground:

Rude awakening, the "daddy" finds out too late that all nephilim are male, no race of giants is produce by the interaction.

The democratization of the waves and all lives are met for the perpetual terms for the individuals. It is struck for the movement of the new pertinent tenets for the citizens.T role of the process of the democracy is vital for the society.

Until recently the prevailing opinion among researchers was that the phrase "sons of God" referred to angels. Canaanite literature used this same phrase to designate divine beings, members of the divine pantheon. This use of the phrase has been read into the passage by a number of modern scholars and attribute the Nephilims/Giants as the Sons of God. They use ancient mythology to interpret the text because, supposedly, this passage contains ancient myths.

The contextual and linguistic analysis the passage of scripture in Genesis 6 however indicates that the best interpretation of the phrase "sons of God" is the one that finds in it a designation of the descendants of Seth. those who followed the Lord as "sons of God" and to the rest of humanity as "men." There is nothing in the immediate context to suggest that the "sons of God" are kings, angels, or heavenly beings.

"They took to wife such of them as they chose" (RSV) includes a verb that is a technical expression to designate marriage, the act of entering into a legal and binding relationship between a man and a woman (Gen. 4:19; 11:29; 12:19; 20:2, 3).

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Hebrews 1:5)
