*Unless otherwise noted, all
scriptures are from the Young’s Literal Translation of the Bible
There is a component missing from a good amount of
Bible translations. This component helps to explain and pull so many things
together, but because of many translations not being literal enough, or
mistranslating a few simple words, this component goes unnoticed. In these last days, the book of Daniel tells us: “And thou, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the
book till the time of the end, many do go to and fro, and knowledge is
multiplied.'” -Daniel 12:4 Many most certainly are now going to and fro, and our
being in the feet of the prophetic statue (Dan. 2) has been opening and
revealing the prophecies of the book of Daniel. We also see that “knowledge is
multiplied.” While most people who call themselves “Christian” are scripturally
illiterate, there are some waking up, and they are digging in the scriptures
and finding so many nuggets of information that very few churches ever touch
upon. This article is going to delve into one such topic. Who Were the Nephilim? The first instance of the Nephilim in the Bible is in
Genesis 6:4: “The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and
even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have
borne to them -- they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of
name.” “Fallen ones” above is the Hebrew word “nephiyl,”
which is translated as “fallen ones” in the above YLT (Young’s Literal
Translation), or giants in the KJV: “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, and
they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men
of renown.” –Genesis 6:4 KJV It is transliterated as Nephilim in many other
versions, such as the American Standard Version: “The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and
also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they
bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men
of renown.” –Genesis 6:4 ASV The
Hebrew nephiyl means tyrant, giant, or fallen one. These Nephilim were the
offspring of the ungodly union of fallen angels (demons) and human women. The
half human, half demon offspring is referred to under many names, but one that
we hear about a lot in certain circles today is the Nephilim. The Nephilim
weren’t necessarily always giants, thus why they can also be called fallen
ones, rather than giant. I believe they are usually giants, and are also fallen
ones, because: 1) Their fathers were fallen angels The Hebrew nephiyl is only in the Scriptures three
times. It’s in the passage we just looked at, and then it appears two more
times, in the below: “And the men who have gone up with him said, `We are
not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we;' and
they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons
of Israel, saying, `The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating
up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men
of stature; and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim;
and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.’”
-Numbers 13:31-33 Here the Young’s Literal Translation doesn’t say
‘fallen ones,’ but uses the transliteration of Nephilim. This again is the
Hebrew word nephiyl. I am unclear why Young left the transliteration of
Nephilim in Numbers 13:33, but gave a translation of nephiyl in Genesis 6:4.
Perhaps it’s because it’s clear the specific Nephilim peoples mentioned in
Numbers 13 weren’t just fallen ones, they were specifically referred to as
giants. In the above passage of Scripture, we see that: 1) The Nephilim were stronger than the Israelite
warrior men. We see that at least some (probably most) of the
Nephilim were indeed giants. We see that there were different family lines of
Nephilim that were known under their family line name, such as the sons of
Anak, who are also known in the Scriptures as the Anakim. The sons of Anak/Anakim are possibly somewhat loosely
related to the Sumerian word ‘Anunnuki’ etymologically. The Sumerian word
Anunnuki means “offspring of An.” The Hebrew Anak means “neck,” and goes with
the Arabic parallel word, meaning “length of neck.” The possible etymological
relation comes in from the fact that the Sumerian Anunnuki are the same fallen
ones as the Hebrew Nephilim, and the sons of Anak were a prevalent race of
Nephilim. There were different types of Nephilim in the Bible,
and these different types took on traits from their specific family lines. The
sons of Anak seemed to be giants, with long necks. We see in ancient cultures where it was valued to have
long necks, and people would use neck rings to try to elongate their necks.
While this custom is still being done today in some cultures, the original
reason has been lost. It likely had to do with the Nephilim tribe Anakim. These
mighty giants had long necks, so if a person would have a long neck, they could
be considered partly divine, or at least high in society and importance. The Nephilim are the original GMO (Genetically
Modified Organisms). They also ate the first GMO food: “and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut
down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by
two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.” -Numbers 13:23 Notice that in the Nephilim land, where they
cultivated food, that it took two of the Israelite warrior men to carry just
one cluster of grapes. These grapes had to be HUGE, and that would make sense,
as the giants would need a lot of sustenance to maintain their large stature. The Anakim Since we have looked at all three instances of
Nephilim in the Bible, to take our study further, we’ll need to start by
branching off into one of the Nephilim family lines a bit. We read about the
family line of the sons of Anak/the Anakim being Nephilim, so let’s look at an
interesting spot in Scriptures that mention the Anakim: “`The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people
great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim; Rephaim they are reckoned, they
also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim. And in Seir have the
Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy
them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the
land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them;“ -Deuteronomy 2:10-12 There is so much info in the above few verses. Let’s
break some of this down: 1) Emim is a name of another line of giants, and they
are reported as “tall, as the Anakim.” We have been introduced to the word “Rephaim.” We know
from Numbers 13:33 that the Anakim are giants, and known as Nephilim, and now
we see that the giants, including the Anakim are Rephaim. Here we see that as we are getting further away from
the flood, the Nephilim didn't have as much direct demon in them, as now we
have further generations of them occurring, so the “fallen ones” didn't as
directly relate as much anymore, so the Nephilim began to be known as the
Rephaim. The GMO human/demon line continued through the Rephaim – and the
various family lines such as the sons of Anak, or of being known under
different names in different localities, such as being known as the Emim or
Horim. The Rephaim The word Rephaim appears in the YLT Bible 25 times.
The Hebrew word underlying this transliteration is “rapha.” You’ll see
rapha/Rephaim in the Hebrew as a proper gentilic noun, or as a masculine plural
noun. A proper gentilic noun is a noun that describes the ethnic identity of a
person or group of people. A masculine plural noun can refer to men, or things
corresponding to males, but that depends on context. For example, the Hebrew
word for sin is feminine, but men sin too, not just females. In the Hebrew, the
Holy Spirit is a feminine noun. A lot of people run with this, and say that the
Holy Spirit is a female. I don’t know that there is a gender to the Holy
Spirit, but one can’t say for certain that the Holy Spirit is female, just
because the Hebrew word for Holy Spirit is a feminine noun. The Hebrew word for
the spirit of human beings, male or female is also a feminine noun; in fact,
it’s the same word used for “spirit” when referring to God’s Spirit. Therefore,
if you’re going to say that the Holy Spirit is female, because it is a feminine
noun, then under that same logic, you’d have to state that the spirit inside
men is also female. In the Hebrew, we seem to see a pattern. We see the
spirit of God and man being a feminine noun, but the Hebrew for familiar spirit
(evil spirit) is a masculine noun, and the Hebrew word for demon is also a
masculine noun. Now it makes sense that Rephaim, in the sense of their spirits,
is a masculine plural noun. Dead Rephaim are evil, and the evil demon or
familiar spirits seem to be a masculine noun, while the Holy Spirit and the
spirit of man is a feminine noun. Rephaim as a proper gentilic noun refers to when they
were alive. Rephaim as a masculine plural noun refers to their spirits in
Hades/Sheol. Since there are two major Rephaim categories in the Bible, we will
look at every Scriptural mention of both, starting with the Rephaim as a proper
gentilic noun – the Rephaim that were living. Living Rephaim We already looked at Rephaim in Deuteronomy 2:11,
where we saw that the giants, Anakim, and Nephilim are also Rephaim, and that
Rephaim seemed to be the name that replaced the term Nephilim as the years went
by. Now we shall look at all other instances of living Rephaim in the Bible. “And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the
kings who [are] with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim,
and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim, and the Horites
in their mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness; and they turn
back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smite the whole field
of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in
Hazezon-Tamar.” -Genesis 14:5-7 Here we see various different names for Rephaim
peoples, according to family lines or geographical location. Before we get into
that, I’d like to stop and point out the Secret Babylon and Rephaim connection… The above Scripture says “the Rephaim in Ashteroth
Kamaim.” Ashteroth Kamaim was a city, and the name of the city meant “Ashtoreth
of the two horns or peaks.” Horns represent power or leadership. For example,
biblical prophecy likens antichrist to a horn. Peaks represent kingdoms, for
example, biblical prophecy refers to the seven hills as kingdoms. Ashtoreth/Ashtoroth is closely tied with the Rephaim,
as they both are major components of the Secret Babylonian religion which is
still massively prevalent, today. In fact, most Christians practice components
of Secret/Mystery Babylon in their churches and in their own homes, and they
think it's Christian. It’s not. The Hebrew word for Ashtoreth means “star.” She is the
female deity of Secret Babylon, with Baal (known as Baal and several other
names in the Bible) being the male deity. Ashtoreth worship involved many
things that are thought to be “Christian,” but never were, such as burning
incense to god(s), and the transubstantiation eucharist. Ashtoreth, meaning
star, was also known as “the queen of the heavens.” Notice worship of her is
similar to how some “churches” claim to worship Christ: “The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are
causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to
the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods,
So as to provoke Me to anger.” -Jeremiah 7:18 “and when we are making perfume to the queen of the
heavens, and pouring out to her libations -- without our husbands have we
made for her cakes to idolize her, and to pour out to her libations?'”
-Jeremiah 44:19 “Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying:
Ye and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have
fulfilled, saying: We certainly execute our vows that we have
vowed, to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her
libations, ye do certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your
vows.” -Jeremiah 44:25 According to CatholicTradition.org: "The Holy Eucharist is the Bread that comes from
our Heavenly Mother. It is Bread produced by Mary from the flour of Her
immaculate flesh, kneaded into dough with her virginal milk. St. Augustine
wrote, 'Jesus took His Flesh from the flesh of Mary.' We know, too, that united
to the Divinity in the Eucharist there is Jesus' Body and Blood taken from the
body and blood of the Blessed Virgin." “Queen of Heaven” is a term Roman Catholicism has
given to their false version of the “Virgin Mary.” This is NOT the scriptural
Virgin Mary, but Ashtoreth, the queen of the heavens. Look up “Mary queen of
heaven” on Google, and you’ll see what I mean. Ashtoreth is the same as Astarte and Ishtar. Ishtar is
pronounced Easter. Easter is not, and never has been a Christian holiday. Jesus
resurrected three days after Passover, not on Easter (except for the rare
occasion, anniversary-wise, where the pagan Easter happens to land three days
after the Jewish Passover). Easter/Ashtoreth Day was celebrated long before Jesus
was even born in the flesh on this earth. It was in celebration of Ashtoreth’s
dead husband/son (gross) coming back to life (possibly via her impregnation),
corresponding to the spring equinox. It was celebrated via a sunrise service,
in which young women were raped on the alter and forcibly impregnated.
Meanwhile, they’d grab the babies from the raped women of the previous year,
and sacrifice them. Afterwards, children were urged to dye Ashtoreth/Easter
eggs in the spilled blood of the infants. Ashtoreth’s symbol was a rabbit laying an egg. It’s
all about fertility in the spring. Secret Babylon is Rome. It is the iron mixing with the
clay in the prophetic statue in Daniel 2. It’s called Secret/Mystery Babylon,
because it started with Nimrod and his wife Semiramis. Semiramis is Ashtoreth.
Nimrod founded Babylon, and he and his wife started this religion as an attempt
from Satan to counterfeit the virgin birth of the Messiah as prophesied in
Genesis 3:15: “and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost
bruise him -- the heel.'” -Genesis 3:15 A Bit About Nimrod: “And Cush hath begotten Nimrod; he hath begun to be
a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah;
therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.' And the
first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in
the land of Shinar;” -Genesis 10:8-10 “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one
in the land.” -1 Chronicles 1:10 “The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and
even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have
borne to them -- they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men
of name.” -Genesis 6:4 (YLT) “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, and
they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of
old, men of renown.” -Genesis 6:4 KJV Antichrist will become a “hero,” or “mighty one” as
well, after Satan heals him from his deadly head wound. The Mark of the Beast
will have Secret Babylon fully behind it. The fact that people can’t get saved
after they receive the mark, tells me there’s a good chance that DNA change is
involved with the mark, changing the person into a Nephilim/Rephaim – a
conscienceless reprobate. Before I continue, it’s important for me to point out
that while Easter is named after Ashtoreth and is a pagan ceremony, and a
Secret Babylon religious act, and not a Christian one, the same goes with her
son/husband, Baal. Baal was born on December 25th, not Jesus. Jesus was born on
or near September 29th, and YES that’s in the Scriptures. See my article,
called “The Bible Says When Jesus was Born.” Christmas trees were never a
Christian practice. It was in celebration of Baal/Nimrod. The evergreen of the
tree represented his deified eternal life (false god) and the tree itself,
including the balls that hang on it represent his manhood. When he died, he was
cut into a bunch of small pieces, and scattered about. When his wife gathered
all his parts to put his body back together again, she found everything, except
for his genitals. Nimrod/Baal/Tammuz (Tammuz is another name given to
this false deity) was killed by a wild boar, so every “Christmas” they’d have
their decorated evergreen trees up, and would eat a feast of ham. Nimrod
was born as Baal on December 25th. “Thus said Jehovah: Unto the way of the nations
accustom not yourselves, And by the signs of the heavens be not affrighted,
For the nations are affrighted by them. For the statutes of the peoples are
vanity, For a tree from a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an
artificer, with an axe, With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails
and with hammers they fix it, And it doth not stumble.” -Jeremiah 10:2-4 Christmas is none other than a holiday unto
Baal/Tammuz. “By the signs of the heavens be not affrighted” - Ashtoreth means
star. Ashtoreth is the mother of Baal, and remember that Rephaim often dwelt in
cities named after Ashtoreth. The Bethlehem star happened in September. I
show you it in Stellarium in my "The Bible Says When Jesus was Born"
article. The Christmas star, on the other hand, is Saturn. This year
(2020), the "Christmas" star reappears as a close conjunction of
Saturn and Jupiter. The progenitor to modern Christmas was the pagan Saturnailia. This is mentioned in the Scriptures: “And ye bare Succoth your king, and Chiun your
images, The star of your god, that ye made for yourselves.” -Amos 5:26 “and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and
the star of your god Remphan -- the figures that ye made to bow before
them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.” -Acts 7:43 Chiun and Moloch are both different names for Baal.
Just like different groups of the Rephaim had different names in different
localities, so also with Ashtoreth and Baal. Going back to Ashtoreth/Easter for a moment, even the
days of “Lent” leading up to Easter are pagan: “And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of
the house of Jehovah that [is] at the north, and lo, there the women are
sitting weeping for Tammuz.” -Ezekiel 8:14 The fasting for Lent is actually from the Secret
Babylon tradition of the days of weeping for Tammuz, leading up to Easter. The
fasting and mourning was to mourn Tammuz’s death, but then on Easter he was to
“resurrect.” Baal's symbol is the sun. Each spring, the sun shines
brighter and warmer, and dead grass and barren trees again turn green, and
animals bear their young. Around this time is also when Ashtoreth became
pregnant, claiming the child in her womb was her dead husband. Secret Babylon mixes paganism with Christianity. If
you have a white cloth – Christianity, and you dip it in mud – Secret Babylon –
you no longer have the purity of God in your life. If you are a professing
Christian, then forsake Secret Babylon religious days, such as Halloween,
Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Jesus is the Truth: “Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth,
and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me” -John 14:6 The true worshipers worship the Lord God in spirit and
in TRUTH: “ but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the
true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the
Father also doth seek such to worship him; God [is] a Spirit, and those
worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'” -John
4:23-24 Continuing on, let’s now look at the other names for
Rephaim groups given in Genesis 14:5-7: “And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the
kings who [are] with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim,
and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim, and the Horites
in their mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness; and they turn
back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smite the whole field
of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in
Hazezon-Tamar.” -Genesis 14:5-7 Rephaim by other geographical names: 1) The Zuzimin: From the Hebrew Zuwziym, which means
“Roving Creatures.” “And I -- I have destroyed the Amorite from before
them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And strong he [is] as the
oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.”
-Amos 2:9 And now to our next Living Rephaim Scripture: “In that day hath Jehovah made with Abram a covenant,
saying, `To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the
great river, the river Phrat, with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the
Kadmonite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim, and the
Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'” -Genesis
15:18-21 This is the Abrahamic Covenant, where God is telling
Abraham the lands that his people will eventually possess. When the Israelites
eventually were taking the Promised Land, they were supposed to drive out, or
sometimes kill inhabitants of the lands. The ones that were supposed to be
killed, were generally Rephaim, or those carrying Rephaim genes like Noah’s son
Ham’s wife did on the ark, bringing Rephaim genetics post flood. “`A land of Rephaim it is reckoned, even it; Rephaim
dwelt in it formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim; a people
great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim, and Jehovah destroyeth
them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, as He
hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the
Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their
stead, unto this day. `As to the Avim who are dwelling in Hazerim unto
Azzah, the Caphtorim -- who are coming out from Caphtor -- have
destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.” Deuteronomy 2:20-23 We are again reminded of the earlier mentioned trio of
the Nephilim, Rephaim, and Anakim. We have some other familiar Rephaim names
we’ve already looked at, but in the above we are given some more to study. 1) The Zamzummim: In the Hebrew is Zamzom, meaning
“plotters.” Og was certainly a giant. His bed was about 13feet
long and 6 feet wide. Further, the above says he only “had been left of the
remnant of the Rephaim.” This means in that area he was the last of the
Rephaim, but not through the whole world. “and the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of
Og, I have given to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, to all
that Bashan, called the land of Rephaim.” Deuteronomy 3:13 The above is mentioning some of the Promised Land
inheritance to the Israelites. And here are the rest of the Scriptures in the Bible
that mention the Living Rephaim: Joshua 12:4 Joshua 13:12 Joshua 15:8 Joshua 17:15 Joshua 18:16 2 Samuel 5:18 2 Samuel 5:22 2 Samuel 23:13 1 Chronicles 11:15 1 Chronicles 14:9 Isaiah 17:5 And it hath come to pass, As the gathering
by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath
come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim The Dead Rephaim “The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also
their inhabitants. Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering
to destruction.“ -Job 26:5-6 This and the rest of the Scriptures we’ll look at that
discuss the Rephaim are in the Hebrew as a masculine plural noun. Recall that
this doesn’t mean that all dead Rephaim are male, just as the spirit of man
being a feminine noun doesn’t mean men have female spirits in them. If we look at the Hebrew for the form of Rephaim in
Job 26:5, we see that it is still the Hebrew word “Rapha,” but this time it
isn’t used as a proper gentilic noun referring to the Nephilim race of Giants
known as the Rephaim. In Job 26:5, “Rapha” is used as a masculine plural noun,
which, along with context, denotes the spirits of dead Rephaim. This form of
Rapha in the Hebrew means “ghosts of the dead, shades, spirits.” The word “shades” brings us to Greek Mythology, in
which the masculine plural noun form of the Hebrew Rapha via Gesenius'
Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon, states that this form of Rapha is shades living in
Hades, according to the ancient Hebrews. They are devoid of blood and are weak,
but can still think, and have memories. Job 26:6 mentions Sheol, which is the Hebrew form of
the Greek word Hades. In Greek mythology, Shades (Hebrew Rapha - masculine
plural noun) are the spirits of dead people, residing in Hades (Hebrew Sheol).
In the Scriptures, we see three types of beings currently in Hades - also known
as the Outer Darkness or the Pit - one of the torment compartments of hell.
There are spirits of humans who denied the free gift of Salvation, there are
the fallen angels that mated with the human women who are locked in a special
compartment in Hades called Tartarus, and there are the spirits of Rephaim -
Shades. Let’s take another look at Job 26:5-6, to bring out
one more distinction… “The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also
their inhabitants. Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering
to destruction.“ -Job 26:5-6 (YLT) The Darby Translation says it this way: “The shades tremble beneath the waters and the
inhabitants thereof; Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no
covering.” -Job 26:5-6 Darby Darby seems to agree that the Rephaim in this noun
form is referring to their dead spirits – the Greek Shades. Notice also that
while Young’s says the Rephaim Shades are formed beneath the waters,
Darby says the Rephaim Shades tremble beneath the waters. The Hebrew word underlying formed/tremble is chuwl,
which means “pain, formed, tremble, dance.” The way chuwl is translated is
largely if not completely dependent on context. Darby says it should be
translated as “tremble,” while Young’s says “formed.” Contextually, I believe
Young’s Translation is correct. This is because the context in this area of
Scripture is creation. See also in the same chapter such phrases as: “Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the
earth upon nothing, Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, … A limit He
hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.” Hades is a compartment of torment in hell, so we
already know they are trembling, but Job 26:5-6 seems to be referring to the
Rephaim being “formed” under the waters. How are these Rephaim formed? They are
formed as Shades in Hades upon the spirit of the Rephaim leaving the body, upon
death, joining the Shades of other Rephaim that preceded them. Let us move on to more Scriptures of the Shades of
Rephaim… “To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do
they thank Thee? Selah.” -Psalm 88:10 YLT Will the spirits of Rephaim be reunited with
resurrected bodies? There’s nothing in the Scriptures that say so. The
resurrection seems to only be promised to humans, not Rephaim or Nephilim. Just
as Rephaim don’t praise or thank the Lord, they also do not have a
resurrection. Shades will not rise. A note on my usage of the word “shades:” Scripturally
(largely via the Darby translation) Shades refer to the spirits of dead Rephaim
only, and never to the spirits of dead humans. There are human spirits in
Hades/Sheol right now too, awaiting judgment. When that time comes, the human
spirits will be resurrected, and brought to judgment. Shades/Rephaim spirits
will not. “To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking
froward things, Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of
darkness, Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the
wicked, Whose paths [are] crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways. To
deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her
sayings, Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God
hath forgotten. For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her
paths. None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of
life.” - Proverbs 2:12-19 The evil woman in the above example has let herself
morally slip to such a point that her spirit can no longer be saved, nor the
spirits of those who allow themselves to be ensnared by her. She is a complete
reprobate, such that her final end will be the same as the Rephaim – eternity
in hell. The Rephaim spirits will not need a resurrection and
judgment to learn why they deserve hell. They already know. The human spirits
in hell will get the courtesy of resurrection and judgment, where they will see
that their names are not in the Lamb’s Book of Life, so they will be judged via
the Book of Works, where their whole life will be reviewed, and their sin will
be pointed out as unpaid for. The eternal resonance of sin could have only been
atoned for by the blood of God Himself, but they refused the Free Gift. “A foolish woman [is] noisy, Simple, and hath not
known what. And she hath sat at the opening of her house, On a throne -- the
high places of the city, To call to those passing by the way, Who are going
straight [on] their paths.`Who [is] simple? let him turn aside hither.' And
whoso lacketh heart -- she said to him, `Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden
bread is pleasant.' And he hath not known that Rephaim [are] there, In deep
places of Sheol her invited ones!” -Proverbs 9:13-18 This is referring to the same woman example as we saw
in Proverbs 2, but here we see more clearly that the willing victims of this
woman will meet the same fate as her. Those who accept her sinful invitations are ultimately
accepting her spiritual invitation to the same fate as the departed Rephaim –
eternity in hell. “A man who is wandering from the way of understanding,
In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.” -Proverbs 21:16 The man who wanders from the way of understanding is a
fool: “A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They
have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of
good.” -Psalm 14:1 The fool, or the one who wanders from the way of
understanding, has the same ultimate fate as the Rephaim. “Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To
meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of
earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations. All of
them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us!
Unto us thou hast become like! Brought down to Sheol hath been thine
excellency, The noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the
worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm.” -Isaiah 14:9-11 Notice the last two words in the above passage -
"the worm." This is the same worm as the following: "And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast
it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than
having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire --where their worm is
not dying, and the fire is not being quenched" -Mark 9:47-48 The above is referring to after the judgment, when the
damned will be cast into the Lake of Fire/Gehenna, but the worm is with the
reprobate both in the Pit and later, in the Lake of Fire. There is so much information in the above Isaiah
14:9-11 passage, so we’ll go through it, point by point: 1) “Sheol Beneath,” and “down to Sheol” is reminding
us that this is a torment compartment of hell – this is the same as the Greek
Hades in the New Testament. Do you know what this means? This is another Secret
Babylon act. This is a big force behind certain satanic sacrifices. The satanic
person thinks that by sacrificing people, and providing blood to the Shades (or
the terms they use), they will become a friend of the ‘Shade,’ thereby
hopefully securing power from the Shade to help them get what they want. The
life is in the blood: “or [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for
its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat,
for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut
off.” -Leviticus 17:14 There is power in blood, and the Satanists and
practitioners of Secret Babylon know this. In fact, some of their sacrifices
involve torture of their victim before death, so that they themselves can drink
the blood of their victim. The torture was to get adrenaline in the blood, so
that the drinker would get a rush from it. This is especially potent if
the drinker of the blood is demon possessed. Recall that demons are the
fathers of the Shades. Christians should deeply understand the power of blood
as well. The blood of murdered Abel cried from the ground. Further, Christians
are covered by the blood of the Lamb – Christ Jesus. Christ’s shed blood on Calvary transcends time and
even dimensional space, with its resonant atonement echoing through the cosmos.
The person who receives the free gift of Christ dying on the cross to pay for
their sins – who believes and accepts this – has a resonant shift. Now they
resonate with Jesus Christ, therefore the atoning resonance of the spilt blood
of Jesus Christ is a cancellation to all the sin - past, present, and future
that the person commits. This is the only way to rid sin. Sin cannot be gotten
rid of via doing more good things than bad things, for that does not create a
cancellation, it just adds good resonance to echo through the cosmos, along with
your sin. The wages of sin is death, as Romans 6:23 tells us,
because the life in the blood must atone for the sin. However, a sinner’s blood
is at the wrong resonance to cancel out sin. Perfect love is required. Only
Christ’s blood can do that, so Christ died in our place. This is why it got
pitch dark outside, in the middle of the afternoon, before Christ’s death on
the cross. That was the moment He took on ALL sins of ALL people, of ALL time.
However, you can’t receive that, unless you believe in Christ, and that He died
to pay for your sins. Then your resonance lines up with His. Unbelievers don’t
accept the free gift; therefore their resonance is not compatible with that of
Christ. What is the resonance of Christ? It’s that of God – Love: “Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the
spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the
world; in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus
Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, and every spirit that doth not
confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is
that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world
it is already. Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them;
because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world. They -- of
the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world
doth hear them; we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who
is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and
the spirit of the error. Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is
of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth
know God; he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love. In this
was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten --
hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him; in this is the love,
not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a
propitiation for our sins.” -1 John 4:1-10 If you don’t know the Love of God, then stop reading
right now, and decide to accept the free gift of Christ dying on the cross to
pay for YOUR sins – past, present, and future. Sin knows no timeline – it
echoes through the cosmos, through the dimensions, not knowing it has happened
now or then. If you have made the conscious decision to accept Christ’s death
on the cross, so that His shed blood pays for your sins, then simply pray to
God, and tell Him. Thank Him, and then go on to live the life God has for you.
He has plans for you, and He loves you more than you’ll ever be capable of
fathoming. Let’s now move on, and see what other Scriptures we
still have, regarding the Rephaim… “Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not,
Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all
their memory.” -Isaiah 26:14 Recall that Psalm 88:10 said – ‘do rephaim rise?’ We
deduced that answer to be “no,” and now we see for certain the answer is no, as
the above in Isaiah 26:14 says – “Rephaim, they rise not.” Not only will the
Rephaim not be resurrected at the time of judgment, but the very memory of them
will be erased. No one will even remember these “heroes, who, from of old,
[are] the men of name.” – From Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim/Rephaim will have no recognition at all
in the end. Yes, they built the great walled cities and certain pyramids that
scientists and engineers today can’t figure out how to build, but it wasn’t for
good. Nothing they did was for any actual good. “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.” -Numbers 13:28 KJV “only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land
[is] strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of
Anak we have seen there.” -Numbers 13:28 YLT “Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged
our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are
great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the
Anakims there.” -Deuteronomy 1:28 KJV “whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our
heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced
to heaven, and also sons of Anakim -- we have seen there.” -Deuteronomy
1:28 YLT And now we move onto the last Scripture in the Bible
that refers to the Rephaim: “`Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and
sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land
of Rephaim thou causest to fall.” - Isaiah 26:19 Verse 14 says that memories of the Rephaim will be
destroyed, and now we see here in verse 19, so will their land – the pagan
temples and the various wonders of the world the Rephaim built will fall, and
will be completely demolished. Nothing to stand for their memory will remain.
The land will no longer be the land of the Rephaim in any way. It’ll be the
Promised Land. Secret Babylon will also fall: “and the woman was arrayed with purple and
scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a
golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon the Great, the
Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'” -Revelation 17:4-5 “And another messenger did follow, saying, `Fall,
fall, did Babylon, the great city, because of the wine of the wrath of her
whoredom she hath given to all nations to drink.'” -Revelation 14:8 Purple and scarlet are the main colors of Secret
Babylon today, as she is trying to masquerade as Christianity. Secret Babylon
is the richest entity on the earth – thus the gold, precious stones, and
pearls. The golden cup in her hand - the transubstantiation eucharistic cup of
this apostate, false Christianity – of this iron kingdom trying to mix in with
the clay (man). The cup being gold, as gold is the kingdom metal of the
religion of Secret Babylon, as it was the metal of the original Babylonian
kingdom, when it stood. See Daniel chapter 2. This “Mother of the Whores and
Abominations of the earth” has people the world-over thinking they are
following Christianity, but they are not. They are following the iron mixed in
with the clay – a counterfeit Christianity. These fooled Christians partake in
Secret Babylonian rites and rituals in many things, especially in regards to
the holidays of Lent, Easter, Halloween, Advent, and Christmas. Heed this warning, before it’s too late: “And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying,
`Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and
that ye may not receive of her plagues” -Revelation 18:4 And remember, you can’t do both. You are either for
Christ, or against Him. If you celebrate Christmas, for example, because you
think it’s “what’s in your heart that counts” then realize that your heart is
not perfect with the Lord. If you study King David, you’ll see that a perfect
heart with the Lord is a heart that continually eschews Secret Babylon and
various pagan religious holidays. David, while being a repentant adulterer and
murderer, was seen by God as having a perfect heart, because David not only
repented of his sins, but didn't stray from the One, True God, via Ashtoreth
and Baal. Solomon, David’s son, however did stray. His heart was not perfect
with the Lord: “And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of
Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his
heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David
his father. And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth {Easter}
god[dess] of the Zidonians, and after Milcom {Baal -
Christmas} the abomination of the Ammonites” -1 Kings 11:4-5 Solomon’s heart was not perfect with the Lord because
he turned aside his heart after false gods, via Easter and Christmas (known
under different names for different times), etc. The Scriptures tell us that behind Secret Babylon
practices – especially the idols, whether they be Christmas trees, Easter
bunnies, Easter eggs, or wanting to make yourself merry with your family on
these helladays, are demons. Yes, demons are behind Ashtoreth and Baal, and
regardless if you say you aren’t worshiping Ashtoreth via Easter, or Baal via
Christmas, they aren’t asking for your worship – they just want you to keep
their days, as that makes your heart not perfect with Jehovah God. “what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that
a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? --[no,] but that the things that
the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do
not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.” -1 Corinthians
10:19-20 The idol (Christmas Tree, Easter Eggs, etc) isn’t
anything, nor the sacrifice/doing traditions of man on these helladays. These
aren’t the big deal. The big deal is that these traditions/sacrifices and idols
“sacrifice to demons and not to God.” They are exactly what the demons behind
Ashtoreth and Baal want you to do, regardless if you “believe in them” or not.
Therefore it's not those actions themselves that's evil, it's that in doing
those things, it is empowering real demons. Sacrifice does not always involve the physical
(noun). Sacrifice is also what you do (verb): "I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through
the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living,
sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service; and be
not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
for your proving what [is] the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect."
-Romans 12:1-2 The choice is yours. Jesus said “`He who is not with me is against me,
and he who is not gathering with me, doth scatter.” -Matthew 12:30 You are either for Christ, or against Him. There is
not both, nor a middle ground. In Revelation, Jesus says that the
lukewarm ones - those trying to have both the world and Christ, makes Christ
want to vomit. You either have a perfect heart for God, or you are
whoring after the gods of the land via keeping traditions to demons via
Halloween, Lent, Easter, Advent, Christmas, etc. “Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the
cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the
table of demons” -1 Corinthians 10:21 What are you going to do? Are you going to make
a sacrifice of your time unto the demons, via keeping their holidays, or are
you going to forsake old family traditions, and the pagan holidays, and follow
the one, true God, with ALL your heart? “`And now, fear ye Jehovah, and serve Him, <b>in
perfection and in truth</b>, and turn aside the gods which your fathers
served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah; and if wrong in
your eyes to serve Jehovah -- choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; --
whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the
gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house -- we
serve Jehovah.'“ -Joshua 24:14-15
2) While they had spirits, I’m not so sure they had souls. I believe they were
all likely naturally born psychopaths. (I am NOT insinuating that
psychopathic humans don't have souls!)
2) Some of the Nephilim appeared to eat human flesh.
3) These Nephilim were of great stature - giants.
4) The Anakim/Sons of Anak are a family line of Nephilim.
2) The Emim are reckoned as something called “Rephaim,” and the Anakim are also
called Rephaim.
3) Emim is a Moabite term for the giants that dwelt in that area.
4) A line of giants called the Horim used to dwell in Seir, before the Edomites
(Esau) drove them out.
2) The Emim: From the Hebrew 'Eymiym, which means “terrors.”
3) The Horites (which are the Horim we looked at earlier): From the Hebrew
Choriy, which means “cave dwellers.”
4) The Amalekite: From the Hebrew `Amaleqiy – “dwellers in a valley.
5) The Amorite: From the Hebrew 'Emoriy, which means “a sayer.” The Amorites
described in the Bible were also Rephaim. We know this, because a) they’re
mentioned in the list of Rephaim in the above Genesis 14:5-7, and b) because of
Amos 2:9:
2) The Avim: In the Hebrew is `Avviym, meaning “ruins.”
“all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and
Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, for only Og king of Bashan had
been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; lo, his bedstead [is] a bedstead
of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits its length,
and four cubits its breadth, by the cubit of a man.“ -Deuteronomy 3:10-11
And the border of Og king of Bashan (of the remnant of the Rephaim), who is
dwelling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei,
all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei; he was
left of the remnant of the Rephaim, and Moses doth smite them, and dispossess
them;
and the border hath gone up the valley of the son of Hinnom, unto the side of
the Jebusite on the south (it [is] Jerusalem), and the border hath gone up unto
the top of the hill-country which [is] on the front of the valley of Hinnom
westward, which [is] in the extremity of the valley of the Rephaim northward;
And Joshua saith unto them, `If thou [art] a numerous people, go up for thee to
the forest, then thou hast prepared for thee there, in the land of the
Perizzite, and of the Rephaim, when mount Ephraim hath been narrow for thee.'
and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the hill which [is] on the
front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the
Rephaim northward, and hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of
Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,
and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the valley of
Rephaim,
And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the harvest, unto David,
unto the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in
the valley of Rephaim,
And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of
Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
2) This portion of Scripture is written to the King of Babylon (verse 4).
Remember what we studied earlier about Babylon. The Rephaim are tied to Secret
Babylon. Therefore the above passage is especially interesting, because if you
read further in the chapter, you’ll see it transitions from talking about the
King of Babylon going to Sheol, to the devil eventually winding up in Sheol as
well. An important distinction between the King of Babylon and the devil (the
shining one – counterfeit light) needs to be heeded: The King of Babylon will
be made weak in Sheol, as the Shades/Rephaim are, but this weakness is not
mentioned about the devil, when he eventually ends up in Sheol/Hades.
Perhaps this is because the devil will only be in Sheol/Hades for 1000 years.
3) The above talks about certain Rephaim being awakened to meet this King of
Babylon. They are “All chiefs ones of earth,” and “All kings of nations.” Which
Rephaim were chief ones when alive, or kings? Plenty, such as King Og, and
remember all those Rephaim subgroups we saw, such as the Emims, Horims,
Anakims, etc. Each group had their leader, and many leaders of nations were
Rephaim. Remember, people who used neck rings to elongate their necks were
likely trying to imitate the Anakim, which were a race of Rephaim giants that
had long necks. There were also people who used to do cradle boarding to
elongate heads. This originally was in imitation to specific Rephaim kings, in
which their Rephaim lineage had the hallmark of large, elongated skulls.
4) “Thou has become weak like us.” This calls us back to the Greek mythology of
Shades. Recall that the Shades were spirits without blood or life, yet had
memories and thinking capacities, but were weak. If we delve further into these
weak Shades of Greek mythology, we learn of the practice of the living friends
of the Shades sacrificing people, so that the Shades could drink the blood of
the sacrifice, and it was said that the blood would temporarily give strength
to the Shades.
