Let’s see what the Bible says about giants. Are the stories circulating about them true?
Angels came down to earth before the flood
”When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men. When YHWH saw that human wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every inclination of the human mind was nothing but evil all the time, the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was deeply grieved.” – Genesis 6:1-6.
How do we know that they were angels – spiritual figures?
Man was created in the image of God. We do not have any information that Adam, Noah, Abraham or other people were giants. If giants, powerful men, suddenly appear, it means that someone had to change their genes. Therefore, the most likely meaning of the “sons of God” are spiritual figures who opposed God.
Who were the Nephilim?
The word 5303 is: nephilim – nephilim. It comes from the word; naphal, meaning “to fall”. There is no direct Greek equivalent of Nephilim in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of giants is sometimes associated with the Greek word “yίγας” (gigas), meaning “giant”. The term “Nephilim” is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a group of beings of great size and strength. The word is often translated as “giants” in English versions of the Bible. The Nephilim are mentioned in the context of the antediluvian world and are associated with the narrative of “sons of God” and “daughters of men”.

Giants appear after the flood
“The Emim (368) , a great and numerous people as tall as the Anakim (6062) , had previously lived there. They were also regarded as Rephaim (7497) , like the Anakim, though the Moabites called them Emim (368) .” – Deuteronomy 2:10-11.
“The Rephaim (7497) lived there previously, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummim (2157) , a great and numerous people, tall as the Anakim. YHWH destroyed the Rephaim at the advance of the Ammonites, so that they drove them out and settled in their place.” – Deuteronomy 2:20-21.
Information about the Anakim (6062):
The term „Anaq” refers to the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. The Anakim were known for their great size and strength, and the Israelites considered them formidable opponents. The name „Anak” itself is often associated with the idea of being „long” or „tall”, emphasizing their imposing stature. The Anakim were descendants of Anak and were inhabitants of the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are often associated with the Nephilim, a group of giants mentioned in Genesis 6:4. The presence of the Anakim in Canaan was a serious problem for the Israelites, as their size and strength posed a serious challenge in the conquest of the Promised Land. The Anakim were located primarily in the Hebron hills, and their presence is noted in the biblical narrative as a test of the Israelites’ faith.

Information about the Rephaim (7497):
The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for „Rapha” or „Rephaim” is γίγας (Gigas), meaning „giant”.
The term „Rapha” is often used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a group of ancient people known as the Rephaim, who were considered giants. The Rephaim are depicted as mighty warriors, often associated with the land of Canaan.
The Rephaim are mentioned in various ancient Near Eastern texts, including Ugaritic texts, where they are depicted as ancient, powerful warriors. In the biblical narrative, they are often associated with the Anakim and other giant clans that inhabited the land before the Israelites. The presence of these giants posed a significant challenge to the Israelites during their conquest of Canaan, as described in the books of Numbers and Joshua.

Information about the Emim/Eymiym (368):
The term „Eymiym” refers to an ancient people described in the Hebrew Bible as giants or mighty warriors. They are mentioned in the context of the first inhabitants of the land of Moab, before the Moabites settled there. The name itself suggests a sense of fear, probably due to their impressive height and strength. The Eymiym were part of a larger narrative of the Rephaim, a group of ancient giants mentioned in the Old Testament. They were considered powerful and fearsome people, which contributed to the legendary accounts of giants in the ancient Near East. The Moabites, descendants of Lot, eventually displaced the Eymiym, as recorded in the biblical narrative.

Information about the Zamzummim (2157):
The term „Zamzummim” refers to an ancient people mentioned in the Bible, known for their enormous size and strength. They are described as a group of giants who inhabited the land before the Israelites. The name may suggest a sense of conspiracy or intrigue, possibly reflecting their reputation or the fear they instilled in others. The Zamzummi are identified with the Rephaim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. They were part of the indigenous population that inhabited the Transjordan region before the Israelites arrived. The Zamzummim, along with other giant clans such as the Anakim and the Emim, were considered formidable opponents due to their size and strength. Their presence in the land was a significant factor in the fear and hesitation of the Israelites on their journey to the Promised Land.

“They reported to Moses, ‘We went into the land where you sent us. Indeed it is flowing with milk and honey, and here is some of its fruit. However, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We also saw the descendants of Anak there.’” – Numbers 13:27-28.
“So they gave a negative report to the Israelites about the land they had scouted: “The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size. We even saw the Nephilim there — the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.” – Numbers 13:32-33.
Anakites – the tribe of satan
Arba – ארבע (meaning “four”)
The Bible describes Arba as the greatest man among the Anakim:
“Hebron’s name used to be Kiriath-Arba (7153) ; Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. After this, the land had rest from war.” – Joshua 14:15.
Information about the word 7153 Kiriath-Arba from the Biblehub dictionary:
Kiriath Arba is a significant biblical location, often identified with the city of Hebron. The name is traditionally understood to mean „City of Four,” probably referring to the four giants or four districts of the city. It is also associated with Arba, who is described as the greatest man among the Anakim, a race of giants.
Arba was the father of Anak, whose descendants were called the Anakites. The Bible does not say much about Arba. We only know that he had a son, Anak. Anak had three sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, who were driven out by Caleb. Caleb was a servant of God, an Israelite from the tribe of Judah.
“He gave Caleb son of Jephunneh the following portion among the descendants of Judah based on the Lord’s instruction to Joshua: Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron; Arba was the father of Anak). Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.” – Joshua 15:13-14.
The Lord God wrote a prophecy in the Bible that refers to the generation of satan and his people:
“I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.” – Exodus 3:15.
The angels were thrown into prison
“and the angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains in deep darkness for the judgment on the great day. Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns committed sexual immorality and perversions, and serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.” – Jude 1:6-7.
“For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, in which He also went and made proclamation to the spirits in prison who in the past were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared. In it a few — that is, eight people — were saved through water.” – 1 Peter 3:17-20.
The above description concerns spiritual figures, because there is no such teaching in the Bible, where human figures go to prison after death. However, we know that spiritual figures go to prison, like satan or the beast going to the bottomless pit.
The brood of vipers killed Christ
“When He saw many of the pharisees and sadducees coming to His immersion, He said to them, “Brood (1081) of vipers (2191)! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?” – Matthew 3:7.
“Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!…“Snakes (3798)! Brood (1081) of vipers (2191)! How can you escape being condemned to hell?” – Matthew 23:29,33.
“Brood (1081) of vipers (2191)! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.” – Matthew 12:34.
Are there giants on earth today?
In the age of the internet, someone would quickly discover the place where the giants live. Additionally, someone controlling these tribes would want to take power over humanity, just as they did before the flood during the life of Noah.
The basic question that arises is: would God allow this?
If He did, then perhaps the family of satan has chosen the path of taking power not only through the digitization of the world, but also through so-called artificial intelligence. They strive to synchronize man with the machine, meaning they want to change the genetic code of some people and make them superhumans. Artificial intelligence is to be responsible for increasing human mental and physical abilities. This is an unrealistic project, but they could announce that they have produced superhuman robots and then show the world a new form of man, the family of satan.
It sounds unrealistic, but…
