Giants Existed, Bible Confirms

Here is Part 2 of BLK SHP Bible Talk’s exploration of “giants” in The Bible.

This time we’re looking at a different word entirely, Rephaim, not Nephilim, and tracing it all the way from Genesis 14 through Deuteronomy, Og’s kingdom, Goliath’s family line, and the ancient city of Ugarit.

Along the way, I’ll explain why I don’t think Goliath was part angelic, why the real darkness surrounding these nations was never about their bloodline, and why that same darkness might still be closer to your own life than you’d expect.

I also address the pushback from Part 1 directly, including where I land on Michael Heiser’s own research on the word Nephilim. If you missed Part 1, we ran it last Sunday, Sept 13, so you can easily scroll back to view it.

The Flame Of The West

In The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien bestowed the name “Anduril” on the sword of Aragorn in his fight against darkness and evil.

Tolkien wrote that “Anduril” can be translated from Elvish as “The Flame of the West.” Bill Whittle says It’s no coincidence that a new, start-up defense company also calls itself Anduril. But as Whittle points out, the real Flame of the West is much deeper and more profound than mere weaponry.

Whittle and his “Right Angle” colleagues, Scott Ott and Stephen Green, explain further.
