How to Stop Abductions
Plus Updates 2004
Do Clones Have Souls?
see Gene wars the original Hybrids
in the link DEEP's LINKS on Homepage
From Deep Mind Quest
The cloning thing has
always intrigued all of us that have looked into the Bibles topics on Nephilim demons or
lets say disembodied spirits of the Giants, we know that ghost are these demons and not
spirits of humans like the deceptions and TV etc try to say and we know that them
loosening there own bodies in the flood and being destroyed, after that, that they seek to
possess people and also once again experience lust and feeling again by getting us to sin
more once there in people, anyway I was thinking about old Atlantis flicks iv seen and how
they supposedly had created monsters huge beast and like when youd try to enter
Atlantis from outside to inn you would have to go thru these beast monsters or around them
to get in, I have the star wars 1 phantom menace and a little similar for those who
hadnt seen the old Atlantis type movies is when they try to get to the underwater
city or away from it theres these huge dragons or dragon like fish that try to catch
them, and then theres these way bigger dragon fish that eat the huge dragon fish and
on and on,, iv been wondering of there may be things created like this that go beyond our
normal thoughts on just demon possessed hybrids or clones what about stuff far bigger or
leviathan like is this possible? Dinosaurs again? Was this done before? Its interesting
that Atlantis and the technology and the destruction in the stories match the time just
before and during Noah when fallen angels brought knowledge and taught war and all the
occult arts etc eventually ending up in God flooding the earth, also am thinking the
way they possess the coming clones may not just be thru like ordinary clones but clones
whose makeup has been mixed on purpose thru like really mixing there DNA with ours, it may
be worse then just the fallen ones returning taking woman again etc but it may be even
more deceitful like the sperm banks out there that people go to and trust and get
artificial inseminated, but if we searched around and found that sperm banks are owned by
people like the Rothschilds or similar people then we may find a whole different
aspect of how this may be done... just some thoughts....also when Noah took the animals on
the ark he was told to bring males and females of each,id think that this was of course to
save each species which shows that God obviously thought each species was to be saved and
not tampered with or changed, we have no right to take the chance of destroying not only 1
but possibly a lot more then that etc..... p.s. another thing is that the verse that
you may have been looking for Bev could be the verse that says were supposed to mate or
produce from our own kind only,,,,
From B. Fox
God created man
in His image as a triune being made up of body, soul, AND spirit. God is in no way
obligated to bless man's attempts to create life. Clones may have soul but no spirit.
Spirit is what makes us GOD AWARE. Clones would not be capable of having conscience which
is part of our God Aware nature. No conscience, no remorse. These "people" would
be psychopaths. Remember sociopaths and psychopaths are adept at hiding this part of their
nature so it may not always be easy to spot them. In this we would have to pray for
discernment as we do in discerning demons and other evil entities.
God rules over all and the power of the name of Jesus over evil includes demons,
evil angels and even other humans under an evil influence. The Men in Black may be
government agents or something else, but they too, must obey the authority of that name
when used by a believer.
It is our responsibility to ask God for the wisdom to discern what spirit we are
dealing with. We are living in the last days of this present age. (not the end
of the world; the times ahead will be horrible for those who are left behind) The devil
knows his time is short so he is using all the ammunition at his disposal. His favorite
weapon is deception.
In Phil. 2:10 it says: That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in
heaven, and of those on the earth, and of those under the earth and that every tongue
shall confess Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.
Romans 8:38-39 says: For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other created thing,) shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There are case studies that are now available through the CE4 Research Group at web
site alienresistance.org or seekye1.com. and also uforanks.com
These people have stopped being abducted by saying,
I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. The aliens/demons disappeared as well as
the space craft.
Copyright 2001 Guy Malone,
Alien Resistance HQ, Roswell NM This is a quote from www.seekye1.com and www.alienresistance.org/makeitstop.htm
We are not implying that
using Jesus name is a magic formula. There are many who will say they tried
that and it didnt work. This is because born-again believers are given this
authority. The power is in the
believers authority given to him or her by Christ, not merely a ritualistic
"conjuring" of the name itself. But we also know of times when God has answered
cries for help from those who are not Christians to show Himself as real and caring to the
non-believer, or perhaps to inspire a first time faith (aka foxhole
conversion) Also, righteous anger or any appeal to a higher
power that has produced results for some, but only in individual instances that do
not produce lasting peace or freedom. To terminate the experience (alien abduction) as a
Life Pattern, and especially not to pass it on to your children (Exodus 20:2) requires a
life given to Jesus Christ.

One
can no longer get away with being a superficial Christian. In these last days only
walk the walk Christians will be able to cope with the deception that
surrounds us all. Here are a few of the Scriptures that give us this authority over evil.
Luke 10:17-20 Acts 16: 16-19 Matt. 8:16-17
Matt. 12:28 Acts 19:13-20 1 John 4:1-4
1Peter 5:8-9 Ephesians 6:10-18 Mark 16:16-18
Having
a personal relationship with Christ is the first priority. Read these Scriptures: John
3:16 Rom.3:23 Luke 13:3 John 14:6 Repent
and
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Acts 16:31
WHY
ARE CHILDREN ABDUCTED?
Until the child is mentally and
spiritually old enough to make his/her own decisions between right and wrong, the beliefs
of the parent either protects or does not protect him/her.
See
1 Corinthians 7:14. For the unbelieving husband is set apart (separated, withdrawn from
heathen contamination, and affiliated with Christian people) by union with his consecrated
(set-apart) wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart and separated through union with
her consecrated husband. Other wise your children
would be unclean (unblessed heathen, outside the Christian covenant), but as it is they are prepared for God. (pure and
clean).
Isaiah
49:25. Thus saith the Lord: Even the captives
of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered, for I
will contend with him that contends with thee and I will save thy children. (Gods
promise to those who believe.)
Isaiah
54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of
the Lord: and
great shall be the peace of thy children.
Proverbs
17:16
.the glory of children are their parents (Puts responsibility square on the
shoulders of parents)
Proverbs
20:7 The just man walks in his integrity: his
children are blessed after him.
Psalm
103:17 But the mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear (reverence) Him and His righteousness unto
childrens children; to such as keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do
them.
Matthew
7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask Him. (Have you been railing and accusing God or asking
with reverence?)
Ephesians
6:1 Children obey your parents in the Lord:
for this is right.
Ephesians
6:4 And you fathers, provoke not your
children to wrath: but bring them up in the admonition and nurture of the Lord.
JESUS
BLESSES LITTLE CHILDREN
Matthew 19:13-14: Then
were brought unto Him little children, that He should put His hands on them, and pray; the
disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said,
Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of
heaven.
(Bring
your children to Jesus. To do so, you must first bring yourself.)
CASE STUDIES
There were strange lights
in the nearby woods at bedtime, barking dogs. I got up and down a few times, yelling at
the dogs while my wife slept soundly on. Then, lying down again.
I
couldnt move
gray fog. I couldnt see anything, but it was like someone
was there.. I felt myself lifted off the bed. I was terrified, so helpless
screaming
inside, but I couldnt get it out.
I
thought I was having a Satanic experience, that the devil had gotten hold of me and had
shoved a pole up my rectum and was holding me up in the air
so helpless. I
couldnt do anything.
A
non-religious person, hed been to church with his wife a few times.
I
said, Jesus, Jesus, help me, or , Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! And when I did, there was a
feeling or a sound or something. That either my words that I had thought, or the words
that I had tried to say or whatever, hurt whatever was holding me up in the air on this
pole. And I felt like it was withdrawn, and I fell. I hit the bed, because it was like I
was thrown back in the bed. I really cant tell what it was, but when I did, my wife
woke up and asked why I was jumping on the bed.
2.
I would like to comment on the fact that it is correct that alien abductions are very
similar to demonic possession, may it even be safe to say that these gray
beings are tied into the spiritual/demonic realm? My conclusions point to yes.
I
am an alien abductee and a Christian. During my encounters I was able to stop the grays
from abducting me by calling out for Jesus Christ - in which on various times an angel
showed up and rescued me from the grays while I was fully conscious. Other abductees out
there who call the grays space brothers or love the grays, I feel they are
controlled and deceived - but if they enjoy getting anal probes thats their fancy.
They feel that perhaps the grays created the angel also, but this would not make sense. A
kingdom divided against itself is sure to fail.
Anyway,
as I was saying I am a Christian and have been protected during my encounters with the
gray aliens.
I
was on Sightings Radio show on October 24, 1997 www.sightings.com The host of the show claimed that the information
I gave was a new wrinkle in the UFO/abduction research and shed some light on things.
I have written down most of my experiences on my personal web site and my story
will be printed in a magazine which is due out December 31.
3.
Subject: Deception! Glory be to God the
Father and Jesus Christ our Savior! I say this with real heartfelt sincerity and relief. I
have experienced three encounters, two of which were demonic attacks. Calling on Jesus did
halt the attack.
UPDATES
2003
While writing my new book, published by
Xlibris in June of 2003, I received new
information about where aliens come from. This was a hard thing for me to
accept. I have always believed we were being visited by beings from other planets.
This is not the case. This is not to say
there is no other life out there. (The following is strictly my theory; no proof) The ones
visiting here are what many would call interdimensional or from the depths of the earth.
Some may be the result of genetic manipulation being used the same way fallen angels once
used human women to create their own progeny. Fallen angels have their own bodies and
cannot possess anyone, but demons are the spirit remains of the Nephilim (giant offspring
of human women and fallen angels) who have no resurrection. They require a physical body
to work through to operate on the physical plane.
Fallen angels now could be
manipulating human DNA they get from abductions. This way they have no actual physical
contact (fornication) themselves and avoid being imprisoned as their predecessors were.
Most demons are imprisoned in
the pit, but can be called up when needed. Occupying a cloned body or an
organic robot would be ideal for a demon. The usual battle between wills of the host and
the demon would be eliminated. They could influence by fear and intimidation which is what
they have been doing. They do it on a much greater scale in this present form
The fallen angels can still influence and
instruct them to a certain extent. Angels rule over great areas on earth. (See: Dan.
10:13-14) Demons are their eyes, ears, arms and legs most of the time. Beware of dealing
with demons disguised as aliens. They can appear anyway or anywhere they wish. This is a
spiritual battle, not a physical one. Until it is treated that way those involved in this
as victims will never be free. |

| Destruction Caused by
UFOs(the following is from the book UFOs: What on Earth is Happening" published in
1976 by Bantam Books, authored by John Weldon with Zola Levitt, and is used by permission
of each. |
|
The book is now out of print, which
may be why Dr. Greer is unaware of these reports. Whether he is aware of them or chooses
to ignore them, remains yet to be seen. From Appendix 1 - Are the UFO Occupants Good Beings? In the same way, most of
those who claim contact with UFO creatures report they are friendly and concerned about
the welfare of humanity. This is the perfect deception (assuming it is a deception - AR)
-- evil beings masquerading as benevolent, yet they are not benevolent. The UFO literature
is full of indications that UFO entities are evil, hostile beings of great cunning and
ability.
Major Don E Keyhoe, and others have listed many
incidents where UFOs have deliberately attacked aircraft and been responsible for several
deaths and injuries.
In one amazing case in 1953, a F-89 interceptor was
scrambled at Kinross AFB to investigate a UFO. The UFO followed the jet over Lake
Superior. Then the ground radar control watched amazed as the UFO merged with the F-89 on
the radar scope! The jet interceptor and the UFO were locked together. The combined blip
then moved off the scope, but no trace was ever found of the two pilots, the jet, or the
UFO.
Another incident involved an Air Force C-118
transport plane which was hit by some object in the air. The plane crashed, killing the
pilot and the three man crew. Prior to the crash, witnesses had seen two UFOs following
the aircraft and other people had noted UFOs in the area. Some of the reports were
confirmed by Fred Emard, Chief of Police at Orting, Wahsington.
In another case, Col. Lee Merkel crashed and was
killed just after reporting a UFO. Other cases have undoubtedly been kept secret.
"The foremost Russian authority on UFOs, Dr. Felix Zigel of the Moscow Institute of
Aviation, has stated that UFOs may have 'frightened, harassed, and possible even killed
Russian Cosmonauts on their missions."
According to some reports, UFOs have simply
destroyed planes pursuing them. Books such as Brad Steiger's "Flying Saucers Are
Hostile" and Harold Wilkins "flying Saucers On the Attack" prove at least
some of the UFOs are evil. Steiger mentions an entire African village that was destroyed
by a UFO Beam.
Jerome Clark, a leading American UFO researcher, in
his article "Why UFOs are Hostile" mentions the possibility of 'hundreds,
possibly thousands' of people being murdered around the world by UFOs. Referring to
Steiger's book, he says UFOs or their occupants have been responsible for aggravated
assault, burnings by direct ray focus, radiation sickness, murders, abductions, pursuits
of cars, assaults on homes, paralysis, cremations, disrupting power sources, etc. Clark
says there is also 'no objective evidence' apart from contactee cases, that UFOs are
friendly or from other planets. Several other respected researchers as well have noted UFO
hostility.
There are also dangerous physical effects resulting
from close association with UFO beings or craft. These include blackouts, blindness,
sexual assault, psychological disturbances, painful skin infections chronic headaches,
convulsive seizures and even cancer.
In the case of those who claim personal contact
with extraterrestrials (contactees), they have reported being programmed, deceived and
made to look like fools. They have experienced the loss of jobs and experienced family
disruptions. Reportedly, there are frequent cases of insanity, particularly paranoid
schizophrenia, found among contactees and at times they are commanded to murder others...
There is a very large number of sudden or mysterious deaths, suicides and nervous
breakdowns among UFO investigators."
The UFO occupants themselves seem to be habitual
liars. They often contradict each other and espouse obviously false beliefs, if we are to
believe those who claim contact with them. These include: Saturn's civilizations exist in
subtropical paradises; Venus has forests, streams, healthy wheat fields, suburban areas,
etc; the Sun and Mercury are not hot; Pluto is not cold. They have said that man will
never be permitted to set foot on the Moon..." (These last are especially noteworthy
given 21st Century knowledge, compared to what UFOnauts were saying in the 1940s-60s. How
evil humans of 2050 look upon what we are being told today? "The point is that
the UFO experience is not a constant which can be studied and catalogued, but will bend or
reinvent itself to become more believable."See <Interview> with Guy Malone.
Closing Comments re; The Disclosure Project
It is simply unreasonable to believe that, as a
noted UFOlogist, Dr Greer has never heard of these or similar reports (but a response to
this article pending, we do offer him the benefit of the doubt for now). However, too much
of the UFO community simply ignores all such reports in favor of either an undeserved
loyalty to the UFOnauts, or a hidden agenda - political, spiritual and/or financial.
Promotion of UFO beings as benevolent (without regard to the destruction left in their
wake) and the ideal of a peaceful "Intergalactic Community" is the hallmark only
of uninformed resear4chers, well-informed disinformation agents, New Age acolytes and UFO
cult leaders. Intelligent people however cannot allow a starry-eyed view of the reality of
UFOs to cause us to roll over and merely assume they ALL are - or always will be -
friendly and beneficial to humanity. All we really know so far from Dr. Greer and other's
efforts is that these entities exist, and that they seem to offer us shiny cool stuff in
exchange for just a little territory. However, our own checkered human history of initial
European relations with Native American Indians should be enough to teach us the
folly of repeating this path (e.e., "Today's Manhattan Island is tomorrow's Manhattan
Project!"). Many still believe that unbeknownst to the general public, the Reagan-era
Star Wars initiative was solely for the purpose of defending Earth from those aliens which
had proven themselves to be hostile. The very premise of the beloved Star Trek and current
Enterprise series - if nothing else - warns us that space MAY be a dangerous place; so
yes, we absolutely should "boldly go," but we should do so only if armed
to the teeth! As to credibility, the allegedly peaceful nature of the majority of aliens
and indeed the very existence of some Galactic Brotherhood: that's out there (and now
supposedly inviting us to join their ranks), are to date mainly promoted by groups (some
say cults) like <The Raelian Religion> <The Nibiruan Council>, and <The
Urantia Foundation>. We need only to study these popular group's contradicting
positions on the physical location (homeworld) and current goals of these so called
Federations to see that something is seriously amiss with a blind acceptance of Dr.
Greer's claims of the same. Nuts and bolts scientists, government officials, credible UFO
Researchers and especially Disclosure Project supporters need to ask where does he draw
his information from, and is it the same or any more verifiable than any of these groups?
Is he using the scientific eye witness credibility of the project to advance one of these
groups' philosophies, or some similar agenda?
AR's (Alien Resistance) position on the deceptive
nature of the current so-called alien presence - and it's ties to a "one-world"
or "shadow" government - are not the issue here. However, merely in light of the
documented death and destruction caused by UFOs, and the potential threat to humanity
still posed by the presence of at least some of them, we implore Dr. Greer to divorce the
issues of disarmament - and even Intergalactic Community - from the Disclosure Project. We
respectfully submit that Dr. Greer and supporters should keep the Disclosure Project
focussed solely on disclosure, and leave the dictation of U.S. Military policy both
foreign and domestic to our trained soldiers, proven ambassadors and constitutionally
elected officials. At this point, both military disarmament and a blind acceptance of the
unproven benevolence of the entire uncharted universe, are unwise indeed.

Here are some TRUE accounts
of giant human remains.(Huge amount of records!)
Giant Skeletons:
In his book, The Natural and Aboriginal History of Tennessee, author John Haywood
describes "very large" bones in stone graves found in Williamson County,
Tennessee, in 1821. In White County, Tennessee, an "ancient fortification"
contained skeletons of gigantic stature averaging at least 7 feet in length.
Giant skeletons were found in the mid-1800s near Rutland and Rodman, New York. J.N.
DeHart, M.D. found vertebrae "larger than those of the present type" in
Wisconsin mounds in 1876. W.H.R. Lykins uncovered skull bones "of great size and
thickness" in mounds of Kansas City area in 1877.
George W. Hill, M.D., dug out a skeleton "of unusual size" in a mound of Ashland
County, Ohio. In 1879, a nine-foot, eight-inch skeleton was excavated from a mound near
Brewersville, Indiana(Indianapolis News, Nov 10, 1975)
A six foot, six inch skeleton was found in a Utah mound. This was at least a foot taller
than the average Indian height in the area, and these natives- what few there were of them
-were not mound builders.
"A skeleton which is reported to have been of enormous dimensions" was found in
a clay coffin, with a sandstone slab containing hieroglyphics, during mound explorations
by a Dr everhart near Zanesville, Ohio.(American Antiquarian, v3, 1880, pg61)
Ten skeletons "of both sexes and of gigantic size" were taken from a mound at
Warren, Minnesota, 1883. (St. Paul Pioneer Press, May 23, 1883)
A skeleton 7 feet 6 inches long was found in a massive stone structure that was likened to
a temple chamber within a mound in Kanawha County, West Virginia, in 1884. (American
Antiquarian, v6, 1884 133f. Cyrus Thomas, Report on Mound Explorations of the Bureau of
Ethnology, 12th Annual Report, Smithsonian Bureau of Ethnology, 1890-91)
A large mound near Gasterville, Pennsylvania, contained a vault in which was found a
skeleton measuring 7 feet 2 inches. Inscriptions were carved on the vault. (American
Antiquarian, v7, 1885, 52f)
In 1885, miners discovered the mummified remains of woman measuring 6 feet 8 inches tall
holding an infant. The mummies were found in a cave behind a wall of rock in the Yosemite
Valley.
In Minnesota, 1888, were discovered remains of seven skeletons 7 to 8 feet tall. (St. Paul
Pioneer Press, June 29, 1888)
A mound near Toledo, Ohio, held 20 skeletons, seated and facing east with jaws and teeth
"twice as large as those of present day people," and besides each was a large
bowl with "curiously wrought hieroglyphic figures." (Chicago Record, Oct. 24,
1895; cited by Ron G. Dobbins, NEARA Journal, v13, fall 1978)
The skeleton of a huge man was uncovered at the Beckley farm, Lake Koronis, Minnesota;
while at Moose Island and Pine City, bones of other giants came to light. (St. Paul Globe,
Aug. 12, 1896)
In 1911, several red-haired mummies ranging from 6 and a half feet to 8 feet tall were
discovered in a cave in Lovelock, Nevada.
In February and June of 1931, large skeletons were found in the Humboldt lake bed near
Lovelock, Nevada. The first of these two skeletons found measured 8 1/2 feet tall and
appeared to have been wrapped in a gum-covered fabric similiar to the Egyptian manner. The
second skeleton was almost 10 feet long.(Review - Miner, June 19, 1931)
A 7 foot 7 inch skeleton was reported to have been found on the Friedman ranch, near
Lovelock, Nevada, in 1939.(Review - Miner, Sept. 29, 1939)
In 1965, a skeleton measuring 8 feet 9 inches was found buried under a rock ledge along
the Holly Creek in east-central Kentucky.
AUSTRALIAN GIANTS:
There was a race or group of people found in Australia called "meganthropus" by
anthropologists. These people were of very large size--estimated between 7 to 12 feet
tall, depending on what source you read. These people were found with mega tool artifacts,
so their humaness is difficult to question.
Four jaw fragments and thousands of teeth have been found in China of
"gigantopithecus blacki"--named after the discover. Based on the size of the
teeth and deep jaws, its size has been estimated at around 10 feet and as tall as 12 feet,
1200 pounds.
PROOF OF AUSTRALIAN GIANTS:
In old river gravels near Bathurst, NSW, huge stone artifacts -- clubs, pounders, adzes,
chisels, knives and hand axes -- all of tremendous weight, lie scattered over a wide area.
These weigh anything from 8, 10, 15, to 21 and 25 pounds, implements which only men of
tremendous proportions could possibly have made and used. Estimates for the actual size of
these men range from 10 to 12 feet tall and over, weighing from 500 to 600 lbs.
A fossicker searching the Winburndale River north of Bathurst discovered a large
quartzitised fossil human molar tooth, far too big for any normal modern man. A similar
find was made near Dubbo, N.S.W.
Prospectors working in the Bathurst district in the 1930's frequently reported coming
across numerous large human footprints fossilised in shoals of red jasper.
Even more impressive were fossil deposits found by naturalist Rex Gilroy around Bathurst.
He excavated from a depth of 6 feet (2 m) below the surface a fossil lower back molar
tooth measuring 67 min. in length by 50mm. x 42 mm. across the crown. If his measurements
are correct, the owner would have been at least 25 ft. tall, weighing well over 1,000 lbs!
At Gympie, Queensland, a farmer, Keith Walker, was ploughing his field when he turned up
the large fragment of the back portion of a jaw which still possessed the hollow for a
missing lower back molar tooth. This is now in Rex GiIroy's possession. The owner of the
tooth would have stood
at 10 feet tall.
In the Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains NSW, a Mr P. Holman found in ironstone
protruding from a creek bank the deeply impressed print of a large human-like foot. The
print was that of the instep, with all 5 toes clearly shown. This footprint measures 7
inches across the toes. Had the footprint been complete it would have been at least 2 feet
(60 cm in length, appropriate to a 12 foot human. However, the largest footprint found on
the Blue Mountains must have belonged to a man 20 feet tall!
A set of 3 huge footprints was discovered near Mulgoa, south of Penrith, N.S.W. These
prints, each measuring 2 ft long and 7 inches across the toes, are 6 ft. apart, indicating
the stride of the 12 ft. giant who left them. These prints were preserved by volcanic lava
and ash flows which "occurred millions of years" before man is supposed to have
appeared on the Australian continent (if one is to believe the evolutionary theory):
Noel Reeves found monstrous footprints near Kempsey, N.S.W. in sandstone beds on the Upper
Macleay River. One print shows toe 4 inches (10cm) long and the total toe-span is 10
inches (25cm) - suggesting that the owner of the print may have been 17 feet tall.
It is certain the Aborigines were not the first to reach Australia. Anthropologists
maintain mainland Aborigines are in fact quite recent arrivals that ate their precessors
who were akin to the New Guinea natives.
Aborigine themselves admit in their ancient folklore that this land was inhabited by
several groups of men, as well as giants, before they settled here.
MORE GIANT RECORDS:
In an old book entitled "History And Antiquities Of Allerdale," there is an
account of a giant found in Cumberland, England, at an unknown date in the middle ages.
Called "A True Report of Hugh Hodson, of Thorneway," it states: "The said
gyant was buried four yards deep in the ground, which is now a corn field. He was four
yards and a half long, and was in complete armour; his sword and battle-axe lying by
him....his teeth were six inches long, and two inches broad...." The bones of a
twelve foot tall man were dug up in 1833 by a group of soldiers at Lompock Rancho,
California. The skeleton was surrounded by giant weapons, and the skull featured a double
row of teeth. Yet another giant was unearthed in 1891, when workmen in Crittenden, Arizona
excavated a huge stone coffin that had evidently once held the body of a man 12 feet tall.
A carving on the granite case indicated that he had six toes. A living giant was sighted
in the little village of Buffalo Mills, Pennsylvania, on August 19, 1973. A man at least
nine feet tall strode down the main street of the village, dressed in strange clothing,
which appeared to be made of some sort of shimmering material. He gazed at the startled
townspeople in a dark, penetrating way and then loped off casually into oblivion.
OTHER GIANT EVIDENCES:
In July, 1877, four prospectors were looking for gold and silver outcroppings in a
desolate, hilly area near the head of Spring Valley, not far from Eureka, Nevada.
Scanning the rocks, one of the men spotted something peculiar projecting from a high
ledge. Climbing up to get a better look, the prospector was surprised to find a human
legbone and knee cap sticking out of solid rock. He called to his companions, and together
they dislodged the oddity with picks. Realizing they had a most unusual find, the men
brought it into Eureka, where it was placed on display.
The stone in which the bones were embedded was a hard, dark red quartzite, and the bones
themselves were almost black with carbonization - indicative of great age. When the
surrounding stone was carefully chipped away, the specimen was found to be composed of a
leg bone broken off four inches above the knee, the knee cap and joint, the lower leg
bones, and the complete bones of the foot. Several medical doctors examined the remains,
and were convinced that anatomically they had indeed once belonged to a human being, and a
very modern-looking one.
But an intriguing aspect of the bones was their size: from knee to heel they measured 39
inches. Their owner in life had thus stood over 12 feet tall. Compounding the mystery
further was the fact that the rock in which the bones were found was dated geologically to
he era of the dinosaurs, the Jurassic - over 185 million years old. The local papers ran
several stories on the marvelous find, and two museums sent investigators to see if any
more of the skeleton could be located. Unfortunately, nothing else but the leg and foot
existed in the rock." Strange Relics from the Depths of the Earth--Jochmans
EVEN MORE RECORDS OF GIANTS:
In 1936 Larson Kohl, the German paleontologist and anthropologist, found the bones of
gigantic men on the shore of Lake Elyasi in Central Africa. Other giant skeletons were
later found in Hava, the Transvaal and China. The evidence for the existence of giants is
incontrovertible. "A scientifically assured fact," says Dr. Louis Burkhalter.
(9)
1. Large bones in stone graves in Williamson County and White County, Tennessee.
Discovered in the early 1800s, the average stature of
these giants was 7 feet tall.
2. Giant skeletons found in the mid-1800s in New York state near Rutland and Rodman.
3. In 1833, soldiers digging at Lompock Rancho, California, discovered a male skeleton 12
feet tall.
The skeleton was surrounded by caved shells, stone axes, other artifacts.
The skeleton had double rows of upper and lower teeth.
Unfortunately, this body was secretly buried because the local Indians became upset about
the remains.
4. A giant skull and vertebrae found in Wisconsin and Kansas City.
5. A giant found off the California Coast on Santa Rosa Island in the 1800s was
distinguished by its double rows of teeth.
6. A 9-foot, 8-inch skeleton was excavated from a mount near Brewersville, Indiana, in
1879.
7. Skeletons of "enormous dimensions" were found in mounds near Zanesville,
Ohio, and Warren, Minnesota, in the 1880s.
8. In Clearwater Minnesota, the skeletons of seven giants were found in mounds. These had
receding foreheads and complete double dentition.
9. At LeCrescent, Wisconsin, mounds were found to contain giant bones. Five miles north
near Dresbach, the bones of people over 8 feet tall were found.
10. In 1888 seven skeletons ranging from seven to 8 feet tall were discovered.
11. Near Toledo, Ohio, 20 skeletons were discovered with jaws and teeth "twice as
large as those of present day people."
The account also noted that odd hieroglyphics were found with the bodies.
12. Miners in Lovelock Cave, California, discovered a very tall, red-haired mummy In 1911
13. This mummy eventually went to a fraternal lodge where it was used for "initiation
purposes."
14. In 1931, skeletons from 8 ½ to 10 feet long were found in the Humbolt lake bed in
California.
15. In 1932, Ellis Wright found human tracks in the gypsum rock at White Sands, New Mexico
His discovery was later backed up by Fred Arthur, Supervisor of the Lincoln National Park
and others who reported that each footprint was 22 inches long
and from 8 to 10 inches wide. They were certain the prints were human in origin due to the
outline of the perfect prints coupled with a readily apparent instep.
16. During World War II, author Ivan T. Sanderson tells of how his crew was bulldozing
through sedimentary rock when it stumbled upon what appeared to
be a graveyard.
In it were crania that measured from 22 to 24 inches from base to crown nearly three times
as large as an adult human skull.
Had the creatures to whom these skulls belonged been properly proportioned, they
undoubtedly would have been at least 12 feet tall or taller.
17. In 1947 a local newspaper reported the discovery of nine-foot-tall skeletons by
amateur archeologists working in Death Valley.
18. The archeologists involved also claimed to have found what appeared to be the bones of
tigers and dinosaurs with the human remains.
19. The Catalina Islands, off California, are the home of dwarf mammoth bones that were
once roasted in ancient fire pits.
These were roasted and eaten by human-like creatures who were giants with double rows of
teeth.
THE KOSSUTH GIANTS:
Kossuth: October was a month of some excitement in scientific circles as seven strange and
gigantic mummies were discovered just outside of Kossuth Center. Marvin Rainwater, a local
farmer, had been digging a new well on his property and struck a deposit of very hard
stone about nine feet below the topsoil. In attempting to dig it out, he found that it was
more than four feet wide in every direction. Removing it would be a terrific chore. He
considered the possibility that this was a layer of bedrock, but that would certainly be
odd that close to the surface. Further, being somewhat familiar with geologic deposits, he
knew that the stone was not the familiar limestone for which such Eastern Iowa areas like
Stone City are famous. This was something else entirely. Upon close inspection Rainwater
also saw that the stone was not as rough as might be expected in a natural formation, but
was in fact smooth and polished. Now very curious as to the nature of the find, he called
several friends from surrounding farms and they began an excavation. They discovered that
it was not a single stone, but rather one of at least several irregularly cut slabs
stretching out over a wide area, yet fitted so tightly together that not even a knife
blade could be put between them. Each slab measured roughly 8'x10', and when struck with a
sledge seemed to ring with a hollowness that might indicate this was not a floor but the
outside portion of a ceiling. Rainwater wondered if he had not stumbled upon some sort of
buried stone structure on his property. Believing that there might be a way to parlay
living other than farming if he played his cards right, Mr. Rainwater contacted Georg Von
Podebrad College, who in turn dispatched a team of archeologists, anthropologists, and
geologists to the site. The researchers were delighted with the anomalies presented them.
Firstly, the stone was not at all native to Iowa, but was in fact basalt-a hard, dense
volcanic rock composed of plagioclase, augite, and magnetite. The type of stone used by
the Egyptians to build their massive monuments. The depth of the slabs indicated that they
had been there for a very long time, predating the advent of the kind of modern
transportation and heavy machinery needed to bring such a large quantity of foreign stone
to Iowa, and quite probably the slabs had been laid down before the last glacial age. It
is impossible to gauge with any certainty just how long they had been there. After the
soil covering the slabs had been entirely removed, the area covered by the stones was a
perfect square measuring 188 feet on each side. Digging around the perimeter revealed that
Rainwater had been correct, the structure did go deeper into the ground. The cyclopean
structure was revealed to be a pyramid similar in shape to one located at Marietta, Ohio,
although those mounds and monuments erected by the prehistoric Indians were made of sun
dried brick mixed with rushes. This technique, too, is curiously similar to the Egyptian
technique of brick making with straw and mud. It took many months, but the entire
structure was finally exposed, and on the eastern side was found a massive filled in
archway with strong resemblance to those of ancient Greece. At the bottom of the arch was
a smaller arch, measuring only 6' to the capstone. This too had been filled in and blocked
off. With genuine awe and some hesitancy the scientists of the Rainwater Site began the
work of opening the smaller entryway, wondering what light from the first torch penetrated
the gloom of the ancient structure, Albert Grosslockner gasped at what he thought were
seven huge and exquisitely detailed statues seated in a ring around a very large and deep
fire pit. Moving closer, he realized that the figures were not carved of stone, but were
in fact the mummified remains of some giant humanoid race. Could what they found be in
fact a prehistoric burial vault for some pre-human creatures or was it a prison designed
to hold some freakish aberration of nature? The figures, were each fully ten feet tall
even when measured seated in their cross-legged positions. They all faced into the circle
with arms folded across their legs. Upon close examination it was seen that they had
double rows of teeth in their upper and lower jaws. The foreheads were unusually low and
sloping, with exceedingly prominent brows. The skin of the mysterious giants was wrinkled
and tough, as though tanned, and the hair of each of them was distinctly red in color.
Their faces, still very expressive even in death, taunted the scientists with their
silence. Who, or what, were these creatures, how had they come to be locked in this stone
room, and where had the stone itself come from originally? After careful excavation of the
site, the bodies were removed for x-ray and autopsy examination. The excitement over the
find was far in excess of the "Gypsum Man" find in Iowa so many years before-a
hoax from which the Putnam Museum of Davenport had never fully recovered from. These
giants were very real. The medical examinations demonstrated that there was definite
skeletal structure, that they were organic creatures who had once been very much alive.
One explanation for the mummies might lie in the legends of the Paiute Indians who tell of
a race of red-haired giants who were their mortal enemies centuries ago. They were called
the Si-Te-Cahs, driven from Nevada by a previously unheard of alliance of tribes. Did the
Si-Te-Cahs retreat from the west to Iowa? Was the stone structure here before and simply
co-opted by the giants? No one may ever know, however it is interesting to note that among
the Indian relics held in the Kossuth County chapter of the State Historical Society are
three robes made entirely from very long strands of red hair. We await DNA comparisons of
samples taken from the mummies and the robes to determine a connection. In the mean-time,
Marvin Rainwater has had his farm purchased by interested parties in Hopkins Grove for an
undisclosed sum, and is quite happily no longer toiling in his fields or digging wells.
GIANT SKULLS FOUND:
Ivan T. Sanderson, a well-known zoologist and frequent guest on Johnny Carson's TONIGHT
SHOWin the 1960s (usually with an exotic animal with a pangolin or a lemur), once related
a curious story about a letter he received regarding an engineer who was stationed on the
Aleutian island of Shemya during World War II. While building an airstrip, his crew
bulldozed a group of hills and discovered under several sedimentary layers what appeared
to be human remains. The Alaskan mound was in fact a graveyard of gigantic human remains,
consisting of crania and long leg bones. The crania measured from 22 to 24 inches from
base to crown. Since an adult skull normally measures about eight inches from back to
front, such a large crania would imply an immense size for a normally proportioned human.
Furthermore, every skull was said to have been neatly trepanned (a process of cutting a
hole in the upper portion of the skull).
In fact, the habit of flattening the skull of an infant and forcing it to grow in an
elongated shape was a practice used by ancient Peruvians, the Mayas, and the Flathead
Indians of Montana. Sanderson tried to gather further proof, eventually receiving a letter
from another member of the unit who confirmed the report. The letters both indicated that
the Smithsonian Institution had collected the remains, yet nothing else was heard.
Sanderson seemed convinced that the Smithsonian Institution had received the bizarre
relics, but wondered why they would not release the data. He asks, ""...is it
that these people cannot face rewriting all the textbooks?""
GIANT FOOTPRINTS:
In South Africa, a giant footprint of a woman measuring over 4 feet long has been carbon
dated at aproximately 9 million years old. Pointing to the probability of this being a
female human-like species' foot, proportionally the two-legged being would need to be some
30 feet tall! The local African people commonly refer to this as a highly revered and
sacred site. Giants, twice the size of gorillas, were found in Java.
The petrified remains of a giant were found in South Africa. A well-known anthropologist
declared that these remains showed that these man's ancestors must have been giants.
GIANT DEVILS:
Within an ancient burial mound near the town of Sayre in Bradford County, Pennsylvania,
skeletons measuring approximately 7 feet in length were discovered in the 1800s. But the
most remarkable feature of these tall skeletons was not their height, but the strange
horn-like protrusions above the brow region on their skulls. It was estimated that they
were buried around 1200 AD. According to some sources, the skeletons were sent to the
"American Investigating Museum" in Philadelphia, and vanished.
REVISED ARTICLES:
In Lampec-Rancho California, in 1833, soldiers discovered a skeleton 11
9 long which was covered with boulders with an unidentified writing. A similar
writing was unearthed on the isle of Santa Maria off the cost of Los Angeles. In July of
1887 in Eureka Nevada, a human leg was found measuring 38.9 inches form the knee to the
heel. The man was over 11 foot tall. In Crittenton Arizona in 1891 a sarcophagus was
uncovered containing a human 3 meters high and had 12 toes. More recently skeletons
ranging from 2.8 meters to 3.12 meters were found by soviets in the Caucasus Mountains. In
China skeletons 10 feet tall have been found. In the Philippines a giant human skeleton
was found at gargation, Measuring 17 feet long. In the Eagle three Cole mine at Bear Creek
Montana in 1920 two human molars were found three times larger than normal. In Braton
Tennessee human footprints were found in solid rock 33 inches log and one foot wide. These
also have six toes each. Tools found in Morocco are so large their users must have been at
least 12 foot tall. Other Giants found around the world are: the Java giant, the south
China giant, and the South Africa giant.
(See The Timeless Earth p. 26)
In 1833,soldiers digging a pit for a powder magazine at Lompock Rancho,California, hacked
their way through a layer of cemented gravel and came up with the skeleton of a giant man
about twelve feet tall.The skeleton was surrounded by carved shells, huge stone axes, and
blocks of porphyry covered with unintelligible symbols. The giant was also noteworthy in
still another respect :He had a double row of teeth, both upper and lower.
When the natives began to attach some religious significance to the find, authorities
ordered the skeleton and all the artifacts secretly reburied- and , of course ,lost to the
scientific study they deserved.
This particular giant, incidentally,bore marked similarity to another,that of a giant man
with double rows of teeth whose skeletal remains were dug up on Santa Rosa Island, off the
California coast. Subsequent research has shown that he,or his descendants, feasted on the
small elephants which once lived on that island and which have vanished like the giants
who ate them, countless ages ago.
Near Crittenden,Arizona, in 1891, workmen excavating for a commercial building came upon a
huge stone sarcophagus eight feet below the surface.The contractor called in expert help,
and the sarcophagus was opened to reveal a granite mummy case which had once held the body
of a human being more than twelve feet tall -a human with six toes, according to the
carving of the case.But the body had been buried so many thousands of years that it had
long since turned to dust.Just another silent witness to the truth of Genesis, which tells
us that there were giants in the earth in those days.the excavation of over a
dozen skeletons 8 to 12 feet tall, around the world, shocked archeologists. These
skeletons were positively human. Some of these skeletal remains are on Maui in lava
caves near Ulupalakua and Olowalu.
THE HUBBARD DISCOVERY:
In this magazine for September, 1923, we mentioned a reported discovery by Mr. Samuel
Hubbard, of remains of giants in the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Owing to press
unreliability, we did not notice this to a great extent. We have now, however, obtained
more knowledge on the subject, and there remains no doubt that Mr. Hubbard has actually
made a discovery composed of the following parts:
(a) Petrified bodies of two human beings about 18 and 15 feet in height respectively. One
of these is buried under a recent rock fall which would require several days' work to
remove; the other, of which Mr. Hubbard took photographs, is in a crevice of difficult
accessibility. The bodies are formed of a limestone petrification embedded in sandstone.
(b) An ancient beach, now sandstone, containing a great number of footprints of a giant
race, men, women and children; the prints of adults about 17 to 20 inches in length, and
corresponding in size and shape to the Carson City and Blue Ridge prints.
EVEN MORE GIANT RECORDS:
According to a press clipping, dated Nayarit, Mexico, May 14, 1926, Capts. D. W. Page and
F. W. Devalda discovered the bones of a race of giants who averaged over ten feet in
height. Local legends state that they came from Ecuador. Nothing more has been heard of
this, but that is not surprising; the word "giant" will flutter the feathers of
any scientist into rapid flight, metaphorically speaking, in the opposite direction. So
also with a report from the Washington Post, June 22, 1925, and the New York
Herald-Tribune, June 21, 1925. A mining party, it is reported, found skeletons measuring
10 to 12 feet, with feet 18 to 20 inches long, near Sisoguiche, Mexico. The Los Angeles
Times, October 2, 1927, says that explorers in Mexico located large human bones near
Tapextla, indicating a race of "gigantic size." All this, if unfounded, would be
straining coincidence or imagination pretty far.
Press accounts say that the skeleton of a gigantic man, with head missing, has been
unearthed at El Boquin, on the Mico River, in the Chontales district. The ribs are a yard
long and four inches wide and the shin bone is too heavy for one man to carry.
"Chontales" is an Indian word, meaning "wild men."
Flavius Josephus, the noted Jewish historian of the first century A.D., described the
giants as having "bodies so large and countenances so entirely different from other
men that they were surprising to the sight and terrible to the hearing." And he adds
that in his day, the bones of the giants were still on display!
Is this enough evidence to support the claim of giants?
Eithere there are too many liars or these are actual accounts as stated on a large number
of sources I collected from the net. |

"There
Were GIANTS in the Earth in Those Days . . ."
Ancient
history and legend, as well as the Bible, attest to the fact
that there
were once GIANTS in the earth -- men of awesome
dimensions,
bulk and height! Where did these gigantic men and
women
originate? Does their existence relate to the sins of the
fallen
angels who cohabited with women? Could such mind-boggling,
incredible
events occur again during this End-time?
William F.
Dankenbring
In the
book of Genesis we read the blunt, categorical
statement:
"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of
the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons
of God
[angels] saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and
they took
them wives of all which they chose. . . .There were giants
in the
earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of
God came
in unto the daughters of men [had sexual relations with
them],
that they bare CHILDREN to them, the same became MIGHTY MEN
which were
of old, men of renown" (Gen.6:1-4).
Who were
these "giants" and men of "renown"? What does the Bible
tell us
about them? This is a fascinating story -- one that needs to
be told!
What
happens when a spirit being appears as flesh, and unites with a
mortal
woman, and their two seeds join -- the sperm of the male and
the egg of
the female? This was a union which God had forbidden --
for good
reason. The offspring which resulted, were not only proud,
insolent,
arrogant, and self-centered -- they were also extremely
cunning in
some cases -- and they were sometimes GIGANTIC in
stature!
They disrupted the entire ecology and balance of life of
the world
before the Flood. Admits the Jamieson, Fausset and Brown
Commentary
"Who,
or what, then, were the Nephilim? In the only other passage
where the
word occurs (Num.13:32-33), it clearly means giants, being
derived .
. . from the mutually related roots of three verbs,
yielding
the fundamental idea of HUGE, EXTRAORDINARY SIZE. Nor can
it be
deemed incredible that in the antediluvian age, when, from the
remains of
quadrupeds and other inferior animals, we see that they
were of an
immensely larger type than the existing race of them
exhibits .
. . .
"Archaeology,
too, show, from the traditionary fables of the
classical
poets, as well as from the colossal monuments that are
extant,
that there were people in remote times of CYCLOPEAN
STRENGTH;
and whether this . . . was the characteristic percularity
of a
certain class only, various circumstances contribute to warrant
the
conclusion, that in the world before the Flood there were Titans
distinguished
by corporeal stature and energies far above the
present
scale. But although the idea of GIGANTIC POWER does underlie
the
language of the sacred historian, the term Nephilim seems to
bear a
deeper significance; and if etymology may guide us, it
describes
a class of men of worthless and at the same time of
violent
character. . . intimating that the Nephilim were marauding
nomads --
men of a violent, overbearing, lawless character -- who
abused
their bodily powers to obtain their selfish ends; who were
constantly
roving from place to place in quest of plunder, and,
emerging
suddenly from their retreat, made attacks both on the
property
and the lives of men" (Critical Experimental Commentary,
vol.1, p.
89).
Giants
AFTER the Flood, Too!
Men of
gigantic stature are also mentioned as existing after the
Flood of
Noah's time. When the children of Israel sent spies into
the land
of Canaan, preparatory to invading the land, they were
appalled
to find giants dwelling in the land. They gave to Moses and
the people
a frightening, dismaying report:
"Nevertheless
the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the
cities are
walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children
of Anak
there. . . . We be not able to go up against the people; for
they are
stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the
land which
they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying,
The land,
through which we have gone to search it, is a land that
eateth up
the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in
it are men
of great stature. And there we saw the GIANTS, the sons
of Anak,
which come of the GIANTS: and we were in our own sight as
grasshoppers,
and so were we in their sight" (Numbers 13:28-33).
The word
for "giants" here is the same word used in Genesis 6:4 --
the
Nephilim. Obviously, therefore, some of them lived after the
Flood.
A Second
Irruption of Giants
Where did
these giants come from? Since all the Pre-Flood giants
were
destroyed by each other, or before the Flood, these must have
been born
to disobedient angels who sinned by cohabiting with women
soon after
the Deluge. Says the Companion Bible:
"But
we read of the Nephilim again in Num.13:33: 'there we saw the
Nephilim,
the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim.' How, it may
be asked,
could this be, if they were all destroyed in the Flood?
The answer
is contained in Gen.6:4, where we read: 'There were
Nephilim
in the earth in those days (i.e., in the days of Noah); and
also AFTER
THAT, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of
men, and
they bare children unto them, the same became the mighty
men (Heb.
gibbor, the heroes) which were of old, men of renown'
(lit. men
of the name, i.e. who got a name and were renowned for
their
ungodliness).
"So
that 'after that,' i.e. after the Flood, there was a second
irruption
of these fallen angels, evidently smaller in number and
more
limited in area, for they were for the most part confined in
Canaan,
and were in fact known as the 'nations of Canaan.' It was
for the
destruction of these, that the sword of Israel was
necessary,
as the Flood had been before.
"As
to the date of this second irruption, it was evidently soon
after it
became known that the seed was to come through Abraham;
for, when
he came out from Haran (Gen. 12:6) and entered Canaan, the
significant
fact is stated: 'The Canaanite was then (i.e. already)
in the
land.' And in Gen.14:5 they were already known as 'Rephaim'
and
'Emim,' and had established themselves at Ashteroth Karnaim and
Shaveh
Kiria- thaim" (Appendix 25).
Satan knew
that the promised Messiah would come through the
descendants
of Abraham. Satan adopted a pre-emptive strategy and
bred more
"giants" to occupy the Promised Land to prevent the
Israelites
from being able to occupy it. His plan aborted, however,
when the
Israelites under Moses and later Joshua conquered the
inhabitants
of the land, and destroyed the remaining Anakim.
Another
Race of Giants -- the Rephaim
In the
book of Deuteronomy, Moses writes of the land of Moab, "The
Emims
dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and
tall, as
the Anakims; which also were accounted giants, as the
Anakims"
(Deut.2:10-11). The word for "giant" here is Raphah, which
means
"giant." Interestingly, the same word also means "ghost, dead,
deceased."
The Rephaim were another of the lines of giants which
existed
after the Flood. Moses tells us of the land of Moab, "That
also was
accounted a land of giants; GIANTS dwelt therein in old
time; and
the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; a people great, and
many, and
tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before
them; and
they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead" (v.20-21).
Og, the
king of Bashan, conquered by Moses and the Israelites on
their
entrance into the Promised Land, was one of the giants. "For
only Og
king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold,
his
bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the
children
of Ammon? nine cubits [approximately 14 feet!] was the
length
thereof, and four cubits [6 feet] the breadth of it, after
the cubit
of a man [i.e., a normal man -- the normal cubit measured
18
inches]" (Deut.3:11). Bashan, the land of Og, was called "the
land of
giants"(v.13; see also Josh.12:4, 13:12). The valley of
Hinnom,
the refuse dump for Jerusalem, a type of the final Gehenna
fire, lay
eastward of the "valley of the giants" (Josh.15:8; 18:16).
Joshua
17:15 mentions the "Rephaim," another branch of the "giants."
These
dwelt in the region near Sodom and Gomorrah in the time of
Abraham
(Gen.14:5; 15:20; see also II Sam.5:18,22; 23:13).
In an
ancient text of the Jews, we read an astonishing description
of some of
these gigantic Amorites whom the Israelites conquered. In
Buber's
Tanhuma, Devarim 7, the text tells us of a Rabbi Johnanan
ben
Zakkai's encounter with the Roman Emperor Hadrian. This event
occurred
in about A.D. 135, soon after the Roman victory in the Bar
Kochba
war, when the Jews rebelled against the Romans. The text
reads:
"The
wicked emperor Hadrian, who conquered Jerusalem, boasted, 'I
have
conquered Jerusalem with great power.' Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai
said to
him, 'Do not boast. Had it not been the will of Heaven, you
would not
have conquered it.' Rabbi Johanan then took Hadrian into a
cave and
showed him the bodies of Amorites who were buried there.
One of
them measured eighteen cubits [approximately 30 feet] in
height. He
said, 'When we were deserving, such men were defeated by
us, but
now, because of our sins, you have defeated us'" (quoted in
Judaism,
edited by Arthur Hertzberg, p.155-156, George Braziller,
New York:
1962).
Thirty
feet tall! The bones of these men were still in existence
during the
time of Josephus, the Jewish historian of the first
century!
The Origin
of "Demons"
Where do
"evil spirits" or "demons" come from? Some think they are
merely
fallen angels, now deprived of their angelic bodies. Others
claim they
don't exist. But the apostle Peter tells us that the
angels
that sinned are now "cast down to hell [Greek, tartaroo,
meaning a
deep abyss]," where they are "delivered into chains of
darkness,
reserved unto judgment" (II Pet.2:4). If the angels which
sinned are
presently bound in chains, then what are demonic spirits
which roam
the earth?
Evil
spirits are not the same thing as "fallen angels," as many have
long
believed. Rather, since fallen angels are now BOUND IN CHAINS
of
darkness until the day of their judgment, we must look for
another
explanation consistent with the Scriptures to explain the
existence
of demon spirits which have no corporeal body. Where,
then, do
"evil spirits" come from -- those spirits called "demons"
in the
Scriptures?
Says the
book of Enoch, in explanation of the origin of these
evil
"spirits" --
"But
now the giants who are born from the (union of) the spirits and
the flesh
shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, because their
dwelling
shall be upon the earth and inside the earth. Evil spirits
have come
out of their bodies. Because from the day that they were
created
from the holy ones they became the Watchers: their first
origin is
the spiritual foundation. They will become evil upon the
earth and
shall be called EVIL SPIRITS. The dwelling of the
spiritual
beings of heaven is heaven; but the dwelling of the
spirits of
the earth, which are born upon the earth, is in the
earth"
(Enoch 15:8-10).

shrieked,
'Son of God, what business have you with us? Have you come
here to
torture us before it is time? Now, some distance away, there
was a

swine.' He
said to them, 'Begone!' So out they came and went to the
swine, and
the entire drove rushed down the steep slope into the sea

5:32), we do not have to fear or be afraid of these
