so then I saw this and I said hey who knows what's in heaven the half has not been told we don't understand all the mysteries of God so let me get off that subject because that's more controversial than everything else I'm trying to get across to you the point I wish to make though is it appears very clearly that angels in heaven when they're in their spirit form when they're in their spirit form can would not function the way a human being would be able to function yet and I'm talking about in relations physical relations but yet when they take upon themselves the form of flesh just as Christ took upon himself the form of flesh then it's possible if they can be tempted now let me let me tell you the bottom line as to why and we're gonna get in some more teaching here but let me give you the bottom line as to why Satan tried to corrupt mankind by bringing in a race of giants are you ready for this I believe the Giants were the seed of the serpent mentioned in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 their purpose was to prevent the coming of the Messiah by corrupting man's lineage and making it impossible for the Messiah to be born now I have quoted for you a number of quotes from early church fathers that say that angels took upon themselves flesh had intercourse with the daughters of men produced a race of Giants according to Wilmington's God - the Bible under fallen angels and Giants page 25 the writer says this was the interpretation of the early church in other words they all believed that fallen angels took upon themselves human bodies came into the daughters of men and produced Giants this is what he's talking about here it was not until the 4th century that another view opposed to the angels of God theory was offered dr. James M Grey past president of Moody Bible Institute writes there is no reason to believe this view would would not have changed had it not been for certain erroneous opinions and practices of Christendom here's the point here's a very well-known scholarly theologian that is making this statement and saying that it was very much believed in the time of the early church that the angels of God fell came into the daughters of men and produced the race of giants but it was changed because of some erroneous practices of Christendom it would have never been changed had not these practices been produced so we began to research and found out when it was changed up until about the time of the 4th century everybody believed that fallen angels came into the daughters of men and produced Giants but the theory was changed in the 4th century about Julius africanus because angel worship at that time was prevailing and there was a fear that the church would go into extreme angel angel worship also the Roman Church was I was teaching celibacy that the priests had to remain celibate and unmarried if the sons of God they reasoned became human and failed than a monk could fail and it would justify sexual sinning or the necessity of being married therefore they took away the theory completely out of the church of angels being fallen angels producing the race of giants and they changed it to the sons of Seth coming into the daughters of Cain so there again I want you to understand all the way up to the 4th century this what I'm teaching you today was understood it was recognized and it was known now we do know this that the Giants could die both before the flood and after the flood Giants were destroyed they were destroyed in the flood of Noah and by the way let me say this there may have been thousands upon thousands and even hundreds of thousands of giants in the earth I want to make that clear and then after the flood when men begin to populate the earth the Fallen Angels came down on top of Mount Hermon and corrupted themselves again 3,000 years ago we see a boy by the name of David and in King David's time and actually before he became King there were five giants in the land number one Goliath first samuel 17 for number two limey first chronicles 20 number three ich bitten off second samuel 21 number four the giant from name south second samuel 21 number five the giant from Gath now notice what happened man I like to get into this whew David comes along and David whips Goliath and the Bible teaches that David's mighty men took out Lamia snipping off SAFF and the giant from Gath I believe the reason when David went to fight Goliath that he had five smooth stones from the brook if you read the Bible counting a lot there were five giants left in the promised land and David said if I kill Goliath have to take on the rest of the relatives in the family and I'm ready for the battle I don't believe it was because David thought he was gonna miss if he you know put the rock in the slingshot all right follow me carefully because this is important David wiped out the race of the Giants the last giant to be killed on earth was killed by David's mighty men in your Bible it tells us in first chronicles 21 after David killed the race of the Giants it says and Satan stood up to provoke David to number Israel and Satan stood up to provoke David and number Israel Satan himself became so angry that David had annihilated the race of the Giants which was the seed of the serpent that Satan himself stood up rose up to provoke David to number Israel and of course a great judgment came upon Israel at this time because David did number Israel and did not require the half a shekel of Redemption now this is where the story really gets intriguing because the time of this tape is the mystery of fallen angels and Giants we've covered that a little bit and evil spirits now where do you think evil spirits came from where do you think they originated well basically we find when we begin to look at theories some people say that they are a pre-adamic people that there was a race of people on earth before the time of Adam the pre-adamic world and when they died their spirits started roaming the earth and became the demons and and really there's no physical there is no physical evidence of a pre-adamic race on earth I want to make that very clear as far as having actual evidence of that number two there are people that believe that evil spirits are simply fallen angels well these particular angels that fell in the beginning are bound in Tartarus that's what the Bible says and there are others that believe that they were created by the Lord after the fall of man I just can't see God anywhere God does not make evil God does not create evil he created Lucifer perfect he created the Angels perfect they're the ones that fell into sin and God if God cannot be tempted with evil neither tempteth he any man God's not running around making a bunch of demons to torment people okay so I don't believe that theory I believe that theory is very weak the best theory that I'm going to give you and once again it's a theory that was known in the time of Jesus it was a theory that was known before the time of Jesus it was a theory that was known in the time of the Second Temple period are you ready for this that when that the evil spirits are connected to the death of giants and the death of the race the Giants before we get into this let me share some things with you first of all if we look at the Bible we discover that the word evil spirits is mentioned in the Bible 10 times we discover that unclean spirit or unclean spirits is found 21 times the word foul spirit is found two times and the word or phrase familiar spirit is found a total of 16 times now I was intrigued by something when I began to study this and begin to see this connection with angels that fell and producing the race of Giants both before and after the flood I realized something that before Genesis 6 there is no record of an evil spirit on earth now yes they were fallen angels but the phrase evil spirit unclean spirit spirit familiar spirit is not found only after the flood of Noah do you see the terms of familiar spirit or evil spirit found in the scripture in fact the first reference to a familiar spirit was written by Moses in the law of God in Leviticus chapter 19 verse 31 and the first mention in the Bible of an evil spirit attacking a person or attaching itself to a person is Judges chapter 9 where it says then God sent an evil spirit between my bimolecular men of Shechem and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech and so we find out that the evil spirits which are mentioned and you know in the New Testament Jesus dealt quite extensively with evil spirits and demonic spirits now the question is where did they originate now let me just start out by saying this that if you have heard someone preach and they talk about the pre-adamic world the spirits of those people that once existed became demons or if you hear a theory that says God created evil spirits after the fall of man or if you hear a theory that talks about fallen angels or evil spirits you have to understand all of those are theories just like what I'm preaching here would have to be considered a theory of where evil spirits originated everything else that anybody else would teach is only a theory because the Bible it's real strange the Bible does not make it clear where evil spirits originated we know they're evil or know that we know they are from Satan but where did they really come from then what if I were to say to you what if I were to say to you that when the ancient Giants who died whether it was before the flutter after the flood or the time of King David when those ancient Giants died their spirits came out of their bodies and they became demons or they became evil spirits would you think that's a strange theory what if I told you there seems to be again written evidence that the spirits of the Giants became evil spirits would you think that strange well let's look at that let's examine that theory for the next few moments we find that in the Old Testament that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew language we find a word Rafa em now Rafa is a common word for giant but as it is also a word oddly enough that in the Hebrew Bible is found where our English Bible uses the word dead now I'm going to give you about let's say I think I have four references here where the word dad is used in the scripture and in all four of these references the actual Hebrew word is ref a. m.
and ref a. m.
