In one of your messages you linked Goliath to the giants coming from Genesis 6. Would you mind clarifying that for me? How, then, could giants be in the earth once again? Unless, was one of Noah's daughters-in-law were of the giant lineage?
It is true that once the flood came and went, Noah and his sons (and the four wives) were the only ones left on earth. However, I do not think that these giants came through Noah's daughters-in-law. I believe that all 8 souls on the ark were pure human beings (God would not use any of that giant seedline to re-populate the earth).
So what is the answer then? The answer is that Satan convinced other of his fallen angels to do the same thing again after the flood!
Let's look at that verse in Genesis 6:
Genesis 6:4
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.
The first thing that I want you to notice is how God says that there were not only giants in the earth in those days (before the flood), but notice how He says "and also after that"!
It's the "and also after that" that makes me believe that Satan convinced more of his angels to do after the flood, what he had convinced many of them to do before the flood, that is, pro-create with human women!
I believe that when God says "and also after that", He means that even after the flood and the re-population of the earth through Noah's sons, that sometime after the flood, Satan convinced some of his angels to try again to contaminate the seedline of the "seed of the woman" from Genesis 3:15.
Obviously Satan is a very good deceiver and very wise and able to convince even angels to continue to rebel against God. (Notice that even thousands of years later during the Lord's earthly ministry, Satan was STILL able to talk his angels into fighting against what God was doing in the earth by possessing the people of Israel....even though they knew that God would destroy them)!
Matthew 8:28-29
And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Notice here that these fallen angels of Satan knew that someday Christ would torment them (Lake of fire) and they knew the time also (Great White Throne Judgment), yet they still kept trying to fight against God's purposes. So, I have NO doubt that a few thousand years before that, it was pretty easy for Satan to convince them to try to corrupt the seedline again with another try at impregnating human women AFTER the flood and creating this new race of giants.
So although I don't think that this tainted genetics was in Noah, his wife nor any of his sons or daughters in-law, I do believe that after they came off the ark and men began to multiply upon the face of all the earth, that Satan tried again to corrupt the seedline. However, this time he could not do it fast enough (remember Noah and his sons were believers, and it took time for the new people on earth to "fall away" from the knowledge of God that Noah passed on, and that eventually happened later in Genesis 10).
So whereas Satan could do it successfully the first time, he could not the second time. So by the time of Nimrod (who I also believe was one of these genetic freak giants) in chapter 11 of Genesis...God chose out a pure man Abram from amongst the contaminated gentiles and the rest is history!
Genesis 10:8-9
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Notice how the word "mighty" is associated with Nimrod...he was a man of reknown in antiquity, and I believe was an offspring of those fallen angels and part of that "and also after that" contamination.
Genesis 6:4
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.
Therefore, Satan was only able to contaminate the gentiles who were willingly possessed (because devil possession takes the human to be willing), yet Abraham's seed was not willing because they trusted the God of their father Abraham!
So now let's look again at the passage.
Genesis 6:4
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.
Notice also how the result of these strange sexual relations was what the bible called "giants." Giants are the result of the relations of human women and fallen angels in the bible. Giants in the bible are also evil in the eyes of God!
Now look at all the following verses about giants in the bible after the flood. It is very convincing proof to me that what those fallen angels did BEFORE the flood, they also did after the flood!
Numbers 13:33
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 we were in their sight.
Deuteronomy 2:11, 20
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
Deuteronomy 3:11, 13
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 was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Joshua 12:4; 13:12; 15:8; 17:15; 18:16
4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20, 22
16 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.
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 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.
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles 20:4, 6, 8
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
So it is all these verses which are overwhelming proof to me that when God says "and also after that" in Genesis 6, that Satan tried the exact same thing that he tried before the flood.
And because these giants were used by Satan to attack Israel, and Goliath is the most famous giant of them all in scripture and a picture of all of Israel's enemies throughout time, I have no doubt in my mind that Goliath was one of the seedline of these relationships between human women and angels after the flood.
(By the way, people sometime complain against God because he had the armies of Israel to exterminate entire populations of gentiles, both man, woman and children. And people get all mad at God. But I have no doubt that the reason that God had Israel do this is because those gentiles—who were squatters and usurpers in Israel's Promised Land—were of the genetic seed of these giants. And, God wanted them destroyed! Another reason why God forbade Israel to have marriages with these gentiles around them)!
Therefore, Satan used the sons of these fallen angels and those generations after that had the giants ‘blood to withstand Israel. Goliath was one of them!
Hopefully this
helps!
