Genesis 6:4,5 - The Nephilim

6:4

We now get the next problem, the Nephilim! If you search on the internet you can find all sorts of stuff on the Nephilim, some of it weird and wonderful. Some versions translate “Nephilim” as “giants”. They, like “the sons of God”, went after the daughters of men. I don’t think it is wise to get too involved in the Nephilim, and I am afraid that my approach is to put the matter on the back burner and not worry about it. However, we should remember that they are mentioned in the Bible and there must be a reason for this.


6:5

We now start to move on to more solid ground. “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth”. Man without God is a disaster waiting to happen. “Every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”. This is not a pretty picture. We might think it is overly harsh. However, look at the West. Look at what is happening to us as we reject more and more of our Christian heritage.
