<strong>The</strong> War Against Shem<br />
<strong>The</strong>y sacrificed unto demons, which were no gods. Deut. 32:17<br />
In the churches <strong>of</strong> America, Christians worship a somewhat paternal God; the bearded patriarch<br />
whom Michelangelo depicted on the ceiling <strong>of</strong> the Sistine Chapel, an authoritarian figure who<br />
is also the Father <strong>of</strong> our Teacher, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ. God is revered as the original<br />
Creator <strong>of</strong> our universe, and as the ultimate moral guide. In this scenario, humanity is a somewhat<br />
innocuous group, placed in a pastoral setting, generally obedient to the laws <strong>of</strong> God, and subject<br />
to punishment when disobedience occurs. Religious observance based on this concept is adequate<br />
until this Arcadian scene is disturbed by misadventures or calamities. It also begs the question<br />
<strong>of</strong> innate or inescapable evil. Satan, the fallen angel, and rebel against God (Satan, a Hebrew<br />
word meaning "adversary") appears in the Bible. <strong>The</strong>re are frequent references to God's<br />
admonishment, and <strong>of</strong>ten, chastisement, <strong>of</strong> wrongdoers, both individually and in large groups.<br />
Here again, the persistent appearance <strong>of</strong> evil throughout the history <strong>of</strong> mankind is dealt with as<br />
it occurs, but it is difficult to fix either its sources or its causes. <strong>The</strong>refore, humanity has existed<br />
under a considerable disadvantage, unable to recognize or understand evil before being injured<br />
by it.<br />
Indeed, the great movement <strong>of</strong> modern history has been to disguise the presence <strong>of</strong> evil on the<br />
earth, to make light <strong>of</strong> it, to convince humanity that evil is to be "tolerated," "treated with greater<br />
understanding," or negotiated with, but under no circumstances should it ever be forcibly<br />
opposed. This is the principal point <strong>of</strong> what has come to be known as today's liberalism, more<br />
popularly known as secular humanism. <strong>The</strong> popular, and apparently sensible, appeal <strong>of</strong> humanism<br />
is that humanity should always place human interests first. <strong>The</strong> problem is that this very<br />
humanism can be traced in an unbroken line all the way back to the Biblical "<strong>Curse</strong> <strong>of</strong> Canaan."<br />
Humanism is the logical result <strong>of</strong> the demonology <strong>of</strong> history.<br />
Modern day events can be understood only if we can trace their implications in a direct line from<br />
the earliest records <strong>of</strong> antiquity. <strong>The</strong>se records concern pre-Adamic man, a hybrid creature whose<br />
origins are described in ancient books. <strong>The</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Enoch (which itself is part <strong>of</strong> an earlier Book<br />
<strong>of</strong> Noah, written about 161 B.C.), says that Samjaza (Satan), the leader <strong>of</strong> a band <strong>of</strong> two hundred<br />
angels, descended on Mt. Carmel. <strong>The</strong>y had lusted after the daughters <strong>of</strong> men from afar, and<br />
now they took them for wives. <strong>The</strong>se fallen angels, known as the Order <strong>of</strong> the Watchers, taught<br />
their wives magic. <strong>The</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> these unions was a race <strong>of</strong> giants, known as Nephilim.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bible does not mention the Nephilim specifically by name, and Strong's Concordance does<br />
not list them. However, Nelson's Concordance has several listings under Nephilim. <strong>The</strong> verses<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Bible to which it refers are Genesis 6:4, "<strong>The</strong>re were giants in the earth in those days."<br />
<strong>The</strong> Revised Standard Version does give the name <strong>of</strong> the Nephilim, the same verse reading, "<strong>The</strong><br />
Nephilim were on the earth in those days." <strong>The</strong>se giants later became known as "the sons <strong>of</strong><br />
Anak." In Numbers 13:33, we read, "And there we saw the giants, the sons <strong>of</strong> Anak, which come<br />
<strong>of</strong> the giants. " <strong>The</strong>se giants constituted a powerful menace to other peoples. In Deuteronomy<br />
9:2 is the complaint, "Who can stand before the children <strong>of</strong> Anak?" Nevertheless, they were<br />
finally killed or driven out. "<strong>The</strong>re were none <strong>of</strong> the Anakims left in the land <strong>of</strong> the children <strong>of</strong><br />
Israel." (Joshua 11:22)<br />
<strong>The</strong>se early giants would be considered as mutations by modern scientists. Because <strong>of</strong> their<br />
peculiar parentage, they had habits and lusts which horrified their neighbours. <strong>The</strong>ir leader, Satan<br />
(the adversary <strong>of</strong> God), also known as Satona, was the serpent who entered into and seduce Eve,<br />
producing the first murderer, Cain*. Not only were the Nephilim a menace to others, their<br />
uncontrollable hated and violence sometimes led them to attack and kill each other. <strong>The</strong>y then<br />
ate their victims, introducing cannibalism to the world. According to some accounts, God<br />
