You Know How
You know how... God commanded the killing of entire nations in the Old Testament; and therefore has been the subject of harsh criticism against the Judeo-Christian values?
But were those nations fully "human" ?
The Bible says that " The Nephilim were on the earth on those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown " ~ Genesis 6:4 ~
When angels rebelled against God; being described in the Bible as Nephilim, sons of God, men of old, men of renown - they descend to earth, take women as wives and as they begin to procreate, the women give birth to a race of giants.
From non-biblical writings it has been said that when angels, beheld the daughters of men, they became enamoured of them, each choosing for himself a wife with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations and the dividing of roots and trees ( Book of Enoch chapter 7 - a non-biblical writing )
As evidence archaeologists have found giants remains.
And from biblical history is well known the confrontation between King David and Goliath
Furthermore, by knowing the history of Israel we know that the Israelites look like grasshoppers compared to the sons of Nephilim.
Terrified they wail before Moses saying " The land, through which we have gone to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And there we saw the Nephilim ( the sons of Anak, who came from the Nephilim ), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them. " ~ Numbers 13: 32-33 ~
Later in history these "giants" eventually were destroyed by the Israelites.
So,
Let's Lift our Heads High
Let's Remember:
Any nation or culture
That tried to mess around with us
Was destroyed - while we kept going!
Look at us,
The Nation from the Bible,
From Slavery in Egypt,
We are still here,
Speaking the same language!
Right here, right now.
" See You Next Year in Jerusalem. " What is means to be a Jew ~ From an Israeli woman ~
As a conclusion, the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men, the Nephilim ( fallen ones, giants ) were on earth in those days, before and even after the great flood in Noah's time.
God put an end to demons mating with humans by placing the demons who committed such an act of sin in the Abyss.
And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day ~ Jude 1:6 ~
This would prevent any more demons from attempting such an act.
In 2 Peter we read that " For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment " ~ 2 Peter 2:4 ~
Obviously, not all of the demons are in "chain" today, only the group of demons who committed further grievous sin beyond the original fall.
Therefore dear friend don't hold grudge at God; definitely not before having a good knowledge how the events unfolded!
God is a Holy God!
It is also well noted that Canaanite culture reveals its moral wickedness! The Canaanites were brutal, aggressive people who engaged in bestiality, incest and even child sacrifice. It must be remembered that God gave the Canaanite people more than sufficient time to repent of their evil ways - over 400 years ~ Genesis 15:13-16 ~
And while Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughter of Moab. And these invited the people to the sacrifice of their gods ~ Numbers 25:1 ~
But from this wicked race, a woman named Ruth found delight in the God of Israel; being encouraged by her mother in law to return to her mother's house, her people and to her gods.
Ruth said, " Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. " ~ Ruth 1:16 ~
God blessed Ruth; and from her marriage to Boaz she bore a son named Obed. The father of Jesse, and Jesse fathered David. Jesus Christ was born as a descendant of David ~ Matthew chapter 1 ~
May your soul yearning after the One True God, the God of Israel! In the name of Jesus be blessed.
Let go of demonic practices and follow the Light of the world.

Fig Tree
The fig tree represents Israel as a nation!
The presence of a fruitful fig tree is a symbol of blessing and prosperity, while a fig tree without fruit is a symbol of Israel judgment and rejection.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
" Now let the fig tree teach you its lesson: when its branches begin to sprout and leaves appear, you know that summer approaching. In the same way, when you see all these things, you are to know that the time is near, right at the door. Yes! I tell you that this people will certainly not pass away before all these things happen. " Jesus ~ Matthew 24:32-24 ~
On May 14, 1948 God's prophetic clock started ticking again, loudly.
In the book of Ezekiel; the Lord spoke: " Therefore say: ' This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again ' ~ Ezekiel 11:17 ~
Isaiah prophesied: " Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children ~ Isaiah 66:8 ~
A nation born in one day, Israel ~ May 14th 1948 ~
Nevertheless, said the Lord, I will leave a remnant, some who will escape the sword among the nations, when you have been scattered throughout the countries. Those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they have been exiled ~ Ezekiel 6:8-9 ~
In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people ~ Isaiah 11:11 ~
Israel is a nation again in the land of their forefathers. The Word of God was fulfilled!
The Lord had said, " In Jerusalem I will put my Name " ~ 2 Kings 21:4 ~
And from the house of the Lord the Jews will say: " Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you " ~ Psalm 118:26 ~
For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ' Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord ' Jesus ~ Matthew 23:39 ~
The Lord's remnant are back again in the house of the Lord, from where they will call Jesus.
The Remnant of Israel
I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descent of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, who he foreknew. Don't you know that the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah - how he appealed to God against Israel: " Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me " ? And what was God's answer to him? " I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. " So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. ~ Romans 11:1-6 ~

All Israel Will Be Saved
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written:
"The deliver will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
And this is my covenant with them
when I take away their sins. "
As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gift and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. ~ Romans 11:25-32 ~
Salvation is absolutely free, the true gift of God in Jesus Christ, and our responsibility is to receive the gift by faith.
Are you a child of God?
