Nephilim after <strong>the</strong> flood<br />
The Giant Story<br />
We come across very many different names and clans and tribes of <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
But we can trace <strong>the</strong>m<br />
all from <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al <strong>Giants</strong> Nephilim who were <strong>the</strong>re before <strong>the</strong> flood and <strong>the</strong> scripture rem<strong>in</strong>ds us that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y were <strong>the</strong>re also after <strong>the</strong> flood.<br />
The name Nephilim literally means “fallen ones”. As we have discussed earlier, <strong>the</strong> Nephilim came<br />
from Sons of God mix<strong>in</strong>g with human women (Gen 6:2), We hare discussed various <strong>in</strong>terpretation<br />
who <strong>the</strong>se Sons of God are and who <strong>the</strong>se Daughters of Man are. The book of Enoch identifies Sons<br />
of God as Angels, particulary identifies <strong>the</strong>m as a class of angels called Watchers.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> Book of Enoch, <strong>the</strong> watchers are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over <strong>the</strong> humans. Watcher<br />
is a term used <strong>in</strong> connection with biblical angels. Watcher occurs <strong>in</strong> both plural and s<strong>in</strong>gular forms <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Book of Daniel, where reference is made to <strong>the</strong>ir hol<strong>in</strong>ess. Watcher comes from <strong>the</strong> root of<br />
Hebrew. "ʿer", mean<strong>in</strong>g "awake, watchful";Greek: ἐγρήγοροι, (Grgori,) "Watchers", "those who are<br />
awake"; "guard", "watcher" is a term used <strong>in</strong> connection with biblical angels. Evidently <strong>the</strong>se angels<br />
were supposed to be servants of God who were supposed to be watch<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> humans on <strong>the</strong> earth.<br />
They were "Sons of God" <strong>in</strong> authority over humans. Thus we see Daniel 4:17 "This sentence is by<br />
<strong>the</strong> decree of <strong>the</strong> watchers, and <strong>the</strong> decision by <strong>the</strong> word of <strong>the</strong> holy ones: that <strong>the</strong> liv<strong>in</strong>g may know<br />
that <strong>the</strong> Most High rule over <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>gdom of men, and give it to whomsoever he will, and set up over it<br />
<strong>the</strong> basest of men." Watcher occurs <strong>in</strong> both plural and s<strong>in</strong>gular forms <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Book of Daniel (4th–2nd<br />
century BC), where reference is made to <strong>the</strong>ir hol<strong>in</strong>ess and <strong>the</strong>ir authority over mank<strong>in</strong>d. Evidently<br />
<strong>the</strong>y had freedom to choose and some of <strong>the</strong>m choose evil. S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong>y had <strong>the</strong> freedom of will, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
should be part of <strong>the</strong> proper "Sons of God". Aramaic ir<strong>in</strong> "watchers" is rendered as "angel" (Greek<br />
angelos, Coptic malah) <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Greek and Ethiopian translations, although <strong>the</strong> usual Aramaic term for<br />
angel malakha does not occur <strong>in</strong> Aramaic Enoch. The apocryphal Books of Enoch (2nd–1st centuries<br />
