GIANTS IN THE BIBLE<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
Genesis 1:24-27 says, "24 And God said, Let <strong>the</strong> earth br<strong>in</strong>g forth <strong>the</strong> liv<strong>in</strong>g creature after his<br />
k<strong>in</strong>d, cattle, and creep<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>g, and beast of <strong>the</strong> earth after his k<strong>in</strong>d: and it was so.<br />
Angels can appear <strong>in</strong> human flesh as body, and do some th<strong>in</strong>gs that bodies of flesh can do<br />
(like eat food etc as we see <strong>in</strong> many ocasions <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bible</strong>.<br />
Lot<br />
Genesis 19:1-3 says, "1 And <strong>the</strong>re came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> gate of<br />
Sodom: and Lot see<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>m rose up to meet <strong>the</strong>m; and he bowed himself with his face toward<br />
<strong>the</strong> ground; 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn <strong>in</strong>, I pray you, <strong>in</strong>to your servant's house,<br />
and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And <strong>the</strong>y<br />
said, Nay; but we will abide <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> street all night. 3 And he pressed upon <strong>the</strong>m greatly; and<br />
<strong>the</strong>y turned <strong>in</strong> unto him, and entered <strong>in</strong>to his house; and he made <strong>the</strong>m a feast, and did bake<br />
unleavened bread, and <strong>the</strong>y did eat."),<br />
But angels do not have regular bodies of flesh and bones.<br />
Angels are spirit-be<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />
Hebrews 1:7 says, "And of <strong>the</strong> angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his m<strong>in</strong>isters a<br />
flame of fire."<br />
Hebrews 1:13-14 says, "13 But to which of <strong>the</strong> angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand,<br />
until I make th<strong>in</strong>e enemies thy footstool? 14 Are <strong>the</strong>y not all m<strong>in</strong>ister<strong>in</strong>g spirits, sent forth to<br />
m<strong>in</strong>ister for <strong>the</strong>m who shall be heirs of salvation?”<br />
By def<strong>in</strong>ition "Angels are those who are fixed with <strong>the</strong> nature of serv<strong>in</strong>g God and all Sons of<br />
God". However we use <strong>the</strong> term loosely to refer to all Spirit be<strong>in</strong>gs - Sons of God, Serv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Angels, even Demons.<br />
Spirit be<strong>in</strong>gs do not have flesh and bones even if <strong>the</strong>y take human form. This is because<br />
<strong>the</strong>y do not have material dimension.<br />
The form is only a shadow of <strong>the</strong>ir spiritual form.<br />
