The Nephilim were/are the Satanically inspired fruit of fallen beings, who attempted to thwart the physical birth of Christ/Messiah; see Nephilim, who were they, and why: The current attempt of Satan is twofold; See: Satan's Motivation: (Separate study) Satan's origins; (Separate study) Satan's people: (Separate study) If you would like to E-mail us with your comments please click here.
We know now that in this Age of Grace, (for the Jew since Pentecost, for the Gentile and the Jew since Acts 28), the battle is spiritual (Eph. 6:1.) Those who truly wish to embrace God and Redemption can only do so through Christ (Acts 4:12) and that through faith only (Gal. 2:20,) (Gal. 3.)
1) To thwart the spiritual birth of the Body of Christ (Christians true,) which Body must be complete prior to the Lord's return (and in the opinion of the writers, during Israel's lo-ammi state,) which confirms that now is a spiritual warfare.
2) To thwart the promises of Jehovah Zebaoth to Israel. To that end spiritual forces are arrayed against mankind (Eph. 6:12) (particularly Gentiles since Acts 28.) These Satanic forces are equivalent of the physical Nephilim, and as deadly. As the Nephilim were/are a mixture of human flesh and Satanic spirit, the same applies today, and are described in the Gospels and other parts of the New Testament (Matt. 10:1, Mk. 1:27, Mk. 3:11, 5:13, Mk. 6:7, Lk. 4:36, Acts 5:16, 8:7, Rev. 16:13.)
