Nephilim

> Nephilim isn't the catch-all term for all half-human, half-angel hybrids. It's an archaic term, used specifically to refer to the group of colossal beings who ruled over the human world before the great flood, born from the union of fallen angels and god-like mortals.

The **Nephilim** are a race of often man-eating giants described in the Christian Bible and were sometimes depicted as the hybrid offspring of "the sons of God" and the "daughters of men." The "sons of God" were actually fallen angels particularly known as the Watchers.

## Description

While many scholars believe that the Nephilim were a myth, excavations say otherwise due to the fact that many have been finding humanoid skeletons buried deep in the Earth, and some were even 15 to 20 feet tall in height.

A common of prejudice against the Nephilim is the fact that they are considered cruel and evil beings, driven only by a bloodthirsty instinct to devour everything in front of them. However, the reality is quite different, while it's true that there are plenty of evil Nephilim, that doesn't mean the race is inherently evil. The truth is that the most famous Nephilim in the supernatural world are lovers of justice and defenders of Earth and light, with one of them, the Daughter of Joshua, being theorized as a possible successor of Joshua himself.

Some theorize that the wife of patriarch Noah or the wives of Noah's sons were Nephilim, which would explain why Nephilim still exist even after more than a thousand years after the Flood, like the famous Giant Goliath. If God allowed the Nephilim to enter the Ark with Noah, it shows that God has no problem with the Nephilim and loves them the same way He loves all of His Creation.

## Characteristics

The most notable feature of the Nephilim is their colossal size, with some measuring between 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) in height, although there is evidence of Nephilim up to 328 to 656 feet (100 to 200 meters) in height, so large that they could be considered Kaijus. It is believed that this colossal size is due to it extradentary large power. Because it is so much power, the mortal body cannot contain so much destructive energy, requiring an absurd growth of mass to contain such energy.

However, Nephilim that are born from Archangels do not suffer from their abysmal growth, most Nephilim that are born from Archangels measure between 1.60 to 2.10 meters in height at most. The reason for this is still a matter of debate between the Malakhs and Seraphims, but one explanation would be that the Nephilim born to Archangels have much better control of their power, preventing uncontrolled growth.

## Quotes

> And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (...) 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.

## Trivia

* Although most Nephilim were killed during the Flood, a few survived, and had children and descendants, one of these being the famous Goliath, who was slain by David.
