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.

Were Nephilim Actually Giants?

For most of my life, I believed exactly what you probably believe right now. The Bible describes real giants, and the word “giant” means exactly what it sounds like. Big. Tall. Simple. Then I actually went and looked at the Hebrew. And the Greek. And I found something I wasn’t expecting, and honestly wasn’t looking for. This is Part 1 of a two part deep dive into Biblical giants, going further than I think anyone on YouTube has gone with this topic. In this video, we cover:

  • What “Nephilim” actually means in Hebrew, and why it has nothing to do with height.
  • Why the Septuagint translators chose the Greek word “gigantes” instead of the word for demigods, and what that choice actually communicated to a reader in 250 BC.
  • How that word slowly flattened over two thousand years, through Latin, French, and English, until it became the plain, sizeless word “giant” we use today.
  • A close reading of Numbers 13, the one passage almost the entire idea of Biblical giants depends on, and what the Hebrew actually says once you slow down.

I’m not here to tell you giants did or didn’t exist. I’m here to give you the actual words, the actual history, and the actual text, so you can land wherever the evidence takes you. Part 2 is coming next week, where we get into Rephaim, Og’s bed, Goliath’s real height according to the Dead Sea Scrolls, and what I think all of this actually means.

Here’s more from BLK SHP Bible Talk. We will present the second part next Sunday, so come back then if you’re eager to see the rest of the saga.

One Giant Secret!

Andre the Giant, Goliath, Gulliver. We are familiar with so-called giants of screen and mythology – but what if there was a real-life race of human giants that once walked the earth? And we don’t just mean you Big and Tall fellas out there. It is a very odd theory indeed, and one that understandably draws sniggers upon first hearing it – until you look at the evidence. Quite clearly there is a global effort to keep the evidence of giants since ancient days buried away from public eyes. Here, Ancient Discoveries from Zohar StarGate delves into why the Nephilim have been wiped from history.

Goliath and the Sins of Babylon

Today’s Trillion Dollar Movie, Goliath and the Sins of Babylon, stars muscle man Mark Forest as the heroic Goliath going up against the Babylonian empire on behalf of the enslaved nation of Nephyr. The Babylonians are pernicious conquerors. Each year, they demand that Nepyr surrender the kingdom’s 30 most beautiful virgins to serve as concubines and sacrificial lambs. This galls Goliath and his band of renegades, who lead a rebellion to free the virgins and overthrow Babylon’s evil King Calphus.

Goliath and the Sins of Babylon is one of the most lavish examples of the much-maligned “peplum” genre, consisting of Italian-made sword and sandal epics set in ancient times. Many of these movies involve mythological heroes and supernatural beasts. This 1963 picture doesn’t go down that path. Goliath is courageous and beefy, but otherwise, not endowed with unearthly strength.

Still, the action scenes are above-par, including a dangerous chariot race and a barnstorming naval battle. The Brooklyn-born Forest (real name: Lou Degni) is more charismatic than the stiff studs usually cast in this genre, and the film boasts other appealing elements — comic interludes with a dwarf and a tense rollout after Goliath is captured, pinned to a rack and forced to dodge a barrage of deadly spears.

Altogether, before building a new career as a fitness trainer and opera singer, Forest played in about a dozen “peplum” movies, among them Hercules Against the Mongols and The Lion of Thebes. One interesting aside: The character he portrayed was known as Maciste in the original Italian version but transformed into Goliath in the English-dubbed version, distributed by American International Pictures. Enjoy, and do return next Friday for another Trillion $ Movie.
