Nephilim after the flood
The Giant Story
We come across very many different names and clans and tribes of Giants.
But we can trace them
all from the original Giants Nephilim who were there before the flood and the scripture reminds us that
they were there also after the flood.
The name Nephilim literally means “fallen ones”. As we have discussed earlier, the Nephilim came
from Sons of God mixing with human women (Gen 6:2), We hare discussed various interpretation
who these Sons of God are and who these Daughters of Man are. The book of Enoch identifies Sons
of God as Angels, particulary identifies them as a class of angels called Watchers.
In the Book of Enoch, the watchers are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over the humans. Watcher
is a term used in connection with biblical angels. Watcher occurs in both plural and singular forms in
the Book of Daniel, where reference is made to their holiness. Watcher comes from the root of
Hebrew. "ʿer", meaning "awake, watchful";Greek: ἐγρήγοροι, (Grgori,) "Watchers", "those who are
awake"; "guard", "watcher" is a term used in connection with biblical angels. Evidently these angels
were supposed to be servants of God who were supposed to be watching the humans on the earth.
They were "Sons of God" in authority over humans. Thus we see Daniel 4:17 "This sentence is by
the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the word of the holy ones: that the living may know
that the Most High rule over the kingdom of men, and give it to whomsoever he will, and set up over it
the basest of men." Watcher occurs in both plural and singular forms in the Book of Daniel (4th–2nd
century BC), where reference is made to their holiness and their authority over mankind. Evidently
they had freedom to choose and some of them choose evil. Since they had the freedom of will, they
should be part of the proper "Sons of God". Aramaic irin "watchers" is rendered as "angel" (Greek
angelos, Coptic malah) in the Greek and Ethiopian translations, although the usual Aramaic term for
angel malakha does not occur in Aramaic Enoch. The apocryphal Books of Enoch (2nd–1st centuries
