Sorry to have left this blog for so long. I have been working on my first book and the editor I hired needed the last two chapters before beginning. All of that is finally finished and he is meeting with me weekly to review and edit one chapter at a time. I will let you know when it is published. Now back to the last blog on giants.
My goal is to provide a message from God’s Word at least three times a week. I will start a new series beginning on Monday November 4th.
2Samuel 21:15-22 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint. And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel. And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him. These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Consistent with many contemporary accounts of human interaction with giants are both their tremendous size and the oft mentioned six fingers and toes.
It is quite clear from both the Bible’s accounts and the massive amount of historical evidence that giants in some manner were able to continue even after the flood. As this is clearly against God’s design, we can come to only one Biblical answer, it is Satan’s plan to corrupt mankind.
Unfortunately, many of Satan’s other genomic and demonic attacks against those made in God’s image are not as obvious to the naked eye. But, how else can you account for all the voices in peoples minds, mass murders, demonic rituals, and the explosion of the worship of Satan. These are all signs of the last days.
Revelation 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
It is very clear that Satan is dangerously evil and the true prince of the earth. We will next be studying his schemes in order to protect ourselves and also warn others.
