Today, my friends, we are going to recognize the distinction between the Sons of God (ha-Benyim Elohim) and the Giants (Nephilim). Some use the term
"Nephilim" to describe the angels (Sons of God) that impregnated the daughters of Adam (8th day creation), but I believe this to be in error.
The term "Nephilim" should apply only to the offspring of the Sons of God, not to the 7000 themselves. The giants, if you look in your
Strong's, are called by three names: Nephilim Rephaim, and Gibbor. Nephilim comes from the root "naphal," which means to fall, and Rephaim,
that is, rapha means "ghost" and/or "deceased." Ghosts as in familiar spirits, which were forbidden to the Israelite to associate
with on pain of death. Gibbor means "mighty men." Nephilim as applied to the giants is used two times in the Bible, whereas Rephaim is used 17
times. Let us look at the usage of Nephilim in the Bible:
As we can see, giants in this verse is Nephilim, the offspring of the Sons of God. This occured in two influxes, and we all know how that ended. The Sons of God came in unto the women, and their offspring were called Nephilim in this verse, and Rephaim in other verses. These giants were also called Gibbor, which is an appellative applied to mighty men, whether good or bad. Check your Strong's for documentation, and you will see that it was used of normal born humans, too.
Here is the second occurence of Nephilim. Again, translated giants.
All right, troops. We seen how that "Sons of God" was used to describe Satan's 7000 studs, so let us see where else they are mentioned as Sons of God:
We see here that Satan and his studs could travel freely from their dimension to ours. Hence, the seduction of Eve, and the seduction of her daughters by the Sons of God. This arrangment changed, however, as we read of in 2 Thessalonians. Now, some may think these Sons of God were the good ones, but I say thee nay; these were the 7000. The next chapter is the same as the preceding.
We have another use of this expression, but it refers to the first earth age, before the rebellion.
Okay, my friends, we are now going to analyze Jude 6 and 2 Peter 2:4. We will use the Lexicon of Bullinger (a fantastic tool), which I hope all SCN students have. We will document just who and what these Nephilim are. Remember, they are not the Sons of God (7000), though they were once angels in spiritual bodies. This particular group of angels came down to earth to be born of woman, not innocent of the first earth age, like it was SUPPOSED to be. Thus, they came not from God, and returned not back to God (Ecclesiates 12:7) They are now evil spirits, with no body, fleshly or angelic. They love to possess and deceive people. We will prove this with the Lexicon. The 7000 and Satan, which are now bound physically in heaven, can send their spirits (intellects) down here, but they have a body as opposed to the Nephilim.
One day, they will come to earth in person, and we shall see them in their malevolent glory. But it's time to examine a couple of verses and break it down to the meat:
  
  
|
Gen 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. |
As we can see, giants in this verse is Nephilim, the offspring of the Sons of God. This occured in two influxes, and we all know how that ended. The Sons of God came in unto the women, and their offspring were called Nephilim in this verse, and Rephaim in other verses.

Num 13:33 | And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. |
Here is the second occurence of Nephilim. Again, translated giants.
All right, troops. We seen how that "Sons of God" was used to describe Satan's 7000 studs, so let us see where else they are mentioned as Sons of God:
|
|
Job 1:6 | Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. |
|
|
Job 1:7 | And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. |
We see here that Satan and his studs could travel freely from their dimension to ours. Hence, the seduction of Eve, and the seduction of her daughters by the Sons of God. This arrangment changed, however, as we read of in 2 Thessalonians. Now, some may think these Sons of God were the good ones, but I say thee nay; these were the 7000. The next chapter is the same as the preceding.

Job 2:1 | Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. |

Job 2:2 | And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. |

Job 38:7 | When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? |
Okay, my friends, we are now going to analyze Jude 6 and 2 Peter 2:4. We will use the Lexicon of Bullinger (a fantastic tool), which I hope all SCN students have.

|
Jud 1:6 |
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the
judgment of the great day.
Check out this term, habitation and house, with your Bullinger Greek Lexicon: "oiketerion." It means the angelic body. Page 386 of the Bullinger Lexicon: House: 3. Oiketerion, a habitation [Used only of the resurrection bodies of men, (2 Cor. v. 2); and of the spirit-body of angels, (Jude 6) ] What does this mean? It means that some angels left their ANGELIC bodies via the spirit (intellect), and placed their intellects into the embryos of the pregnant women that the Sons of God (7000) were responsible for. They were born with supernatural intelligence, as a result of remembering what occured in the first earth age; they were not born innocent, so God killed the first influx with a flood, and had various peoples kill of the second influx. Recall to mind that God ordered the Israelites to exterminate all of the Canaanite nations, men, women and children. Why? Because these nations had angelic blood in them, which was an abomination. One more verse:
Let us examine this term "hell." The term is Tartaros: Again, we will quote from Bullinger's Greek Lexicon. page 370: HELL (cast down to) [tartaros is not Sheol or Hades, (No. 2) where all men go in death. Nor is it where the wicked are to be consumed and destroyed, which is Gehenna, (No.1) Not the abode of MEN in any condition. It is used only here, and here only of "the angels that sinned," (See Jude 6) It denotes the bounds or verge of this material world. The extremity of this lower air - of which Satan is "the prince," (Eph. 2:2), and of which Scripture speaks as having "the rulers of the darkness of this world" and "wicked spirits in aerial regions." Tartaros is not only the bounds of this material creation, but is so called from its coldness.] 2 Peter 2:4 The giants that died (Nephilim) are bound to earth for their perfidy. They are, indeed, evil spirits that plague flesh men. The 7000, on the other hand, are still in their angelic bodies, yet cannot, as of yet, come to earth physically: they can send their thoughts down, however, as can Satan. One last verse:
As we see, there are different kinds of spirits. In this case, it appears the DEVIL himself possessed this unfortunate laddie, yet Christ alludes to more than one that are very hard to cast out, compared to the ease the disciples were having with the other kind - which were the Nephilim, i.e. the offspring of the Sons of God. The spirits the disciples were having trouble with were Satan and his 7000 (Sons of God of Genesis 6). Understand the two different groups of angels that sinned: one group (Nephilim) was born illegally as giants, and one group (Sons of God) impregnated the daughters of Adam. Both groups sinned, and both groups will die at the last trump. See Appendixes 23 and 25 for more info. |
