GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
This is what we observe:
People in Personal relationship with God are defined "sons of God"
Israel, as the elect nation, is called his son, his first born (Ex 4:22);
Israel as the elect seed, is named the son whom God (Elohim) Ps 80:17, .
Those who have remained faithful to God (De 32:5) are Sons of God
Those who had back slidden, but returned, were sons of the living God (Ho 1:10).
Thus:
Practically nowhere the translation of "bene Elohim" as Angels can be justified.
Yet these are still in the original Hebrew "bene Elohim" meaning "Sons of Gods" with no specific
connection to mean "angels".
These can translated to mean Angels if we expand the word "Angels" to mean all spiritual beings in all
dimensions of existence.
I am not saying it does not include angels, but includes many more than just angels as we understand
what angels means. If Satan is also part of the sons of God certainly it includes many other forms of
creation within the cosmos. It would then mean every creation who partake of the dimension of Spirit
and Divine out of the four dimensions usually defined in Judeo-Christian Tradition viz. Material, Mind,
Spirit, Divine. This is indeed to be expected because God alone existed in the beginning and
everything that exists were created by God within him (since there is no outside of God). Hence all
those beings with a Spirit are Sons of God. Hence we should not be surprised if we see even Satan
in that group as a son of God. Even fallen beings are sons of God though they are under the
judgement of God. We have some indication that some fallen beings are in "prison" under sentence
now.

The story of the nephilim is further elaborated in the Book of Enoch. The Greek, Aramaic, and main
Ge'ez manuscripts of 1 Enoch and Jubilees obtained in the 19th century and held in the British
Museum and Vatican Library, connect the nephilim with the fallen angels, and in particular with the
