✿ Gen. 6:4 teaches that there were giants on the earth "in those days" (before the flood), "and also after that" (after those days which were before the flood), as a result of the sons of God marrying the daughters of men. All these giant nations came from a union of the sons of God (fallen angels) and daughters of men after the flood. Goliath, whom David slew, was 13 ft. 4 in. Tall, counting 25 in. As a cubit and 10 in. As a span. He wore a coat of armour of nine feet and nine inches tall, weighing 196 pounds(1Sam. 17:4- 6). ✿ By race, Goliath was not a Philistine; rather, he came from one of the races of giants whom Israel fought when leaving Egypt. Goliath and his brothers were of the remnant of giants left in the country to test Israel in the settlement of Canaan. David and his men killed the last of the races of giants (1Sam. 17:49; 2Sam. 21:16- 22; 1Chr. 20:4- 8).
Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of A’-nak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. When Cain and Abel brought their offerings to God the Father, Abel’s offering, which was the firstlings of his flock, was accepted by the Lord God. Cain's countenance then fell, and he then slew his brother. God the Father then heard the cry of Abel’s blood from the dust of the ground. Cain then went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. There, he had a son, named E’noch, who then had his children's children, La’-mech, who had slain a man to his wounding and a young man to his hurt. (Gen 4:4,10,16,23) When men began to multiply on the face of the earth, having daughters, the sons of God saw the daughters of men and took them as wives, and they had children who were giants. (Gen 6:2,4) God the Father saw the wickedness of man was great, for the earth was filled with violence through them. He then determined that the end of all flesh had come before Him. Noah, who was a righteous man, God the Father chose him with his family to set them apart. For the earth was filled with violence through their children, who were giants. Noah was told to build an ark and to set his wife with his sons and their wives in the ark, for the Lord then wanted to bring the flood of water to destroy all flesh on the earth. The “sons of God” who married the “daughters of man” had children who were destroyed in the flood. They had their blood mingled with man and had some of their children’s children then being born as giants, unclean spirit beings in those days after the floods. When Moses sent his men from the wilderness of Paran to the land of Canaan, Noah’s son Ham had sons who were called Cush, Miz’-ra-im, Phut, and Canaan. (Gen 10:6/Num 13:2-3) When they were sent and searched the land and returned from exploring the land after forty days, they came to the congregation where Moses and Aaron were. They came and told them, “Surely this land floweth with milk and honey, but the ones who dwell there are the Anak’s, the giants.” (Nub 13:2-3) These giants spirit beings are the wandering spirits or demons that we call them today, who lead’s one to imagine evil in his heart against his brother. As Lord Jesus reveals unto us, in parables, when one heareth the word of the kingdom and understand not, the wicked one cometh and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. (Matt 12:43/13:19) Joshua 11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut of the An’-a-kims from the mountains, from He’-bron, from De’-bir, from A’-nab, and from all the mountains of Israel: only in Ga’-za, in Gath, and in Ash’-dod, there remained.
