Recommended: Genesis chapter 1 and 2 summary

The “Nephilim” are hybrids originating from the copulation between fallen angels and human women. The Bible called these hybrids “giants” and “the mighty men of old.” These hybrids were literally the seed of Satan. The corruption of the human genome was one of Satan’s strategies to prevent the incarnation of Jesus in human flesh. If Satan could corrupt the human genome, then it would be impossible for the Redeemer to be born thus fulfilling God’s prophecy in Genesis 3:15: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.
There was a literal seed (genetic) war going on between Satan and God before the flood. Satan attempted to corrupt the human genome, hence preventing Jesus from incarnating through the seed of a pure human woman. If Satan would have been successful in corrupting all of humanity genetically, then this would have prevented the “head wound” that will be his demise. The corruption of the genomes of all creation was one of the main reasons for the flood of Noah. The flood destroyed the “seed” of Satan and prevented the complete corruption of the human genome.

Some scholars theorize that the wives of Noah’s sons were Nephilim. This allowed the race to survive the flood via the wives. A second theory suggests that Satan and the fallen angels began a program of genetic engineering. A third theory postulates that the fallen angels copulated with human women, as they did before the flood, to produce more human/angel hybrids after the flood. Based on my study of the subject, I think the wives of Noah’s sons were Nephilim.
Noah’s son Ham settled the land of Canaan, which is the “Promised Land” that the children of Israel were given by God. Ham was the “father” of the Nephilim tribes. Note that Moses, under the divine inspiration of God, points out that Ham is “the father of

Satan views man as unintelligent to believe the way he does about God. “He equips the Creator with every trait that goes to the making of a fiend, and then arrives at the conclusion that a fiend and a father are the same thing” (347).

  • Flood in Epic of Gilgamish and Book of Genesis of the Holy Bible

    883 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story of the great flood is probably the most popular story that has survived for thousands of years and is still being retold today.  It is most commonly related within the context of Judeo-Christian tradition.  In the Holy Bible, the book of Genesis uses the flood as a symbol of God's wrath as well as His hope that the human race can maintain peace and achieve everlasting salvation.  The tale of Noah's Ark begins with God's expression of dismay as to the degenerate state of the human race at the time.  People were behaving wickedly and sinfully and God decided that a genetic cleansing was necessary.  He spared only Noah and his family, along with two of every type of animal; one male and one female.  The other most popular flood story is found in the Epic of Gilgamish.  In this text, the gods have decided to destroy everything on earth by creating a great flood.  The only survivor is a man named Utnapishtim, spared because he is the god Ea's favorite human.

  • Yahweh vs. Shurrupak gods

    975 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh of how he attained immortality. Interestingly, the story Utnapishtim relays to Gilgamesh is eerily similar to the story of Noah and the great flood found in Genesis. The city of Shurrupak was mature and flourishing with people, causing great uproar from the busy city. The gods that were worshipped in this city grew wearisome of the clamor the people there made. Their slumber was disturbed daily which lead Enlil, their counsellor, to petition the extermination of mankind. One of the gods, however, Ea had different plans. He approached a human by the name of Utnapishtim in a dream warning him of the eminent disaster. Ea kept the real reason for the calamity from Utnapishtim and falsely told him that Enlil was wrathful against only him and not the rest of the city. Therefore, Utnapistim must leave but Enlil will send great blessings to the people of Shurrupak. In the story of the flood in Genesis, God decides to exterminate mankind not because of the noise but rather their sinfulness which grieved God. He, however, saved one man and his family—Noah. God allowed Noah to warn the people of the calamity but no one heeded Noah’s words. The nuances that rose when contrasting these two very profound stories not only entail crucial information about the gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the God of the Bible but it gave deep insight into the character of the gods themselves.

  • satan and the problem of evil

    Now the Serpent was the most cunning of the animals that the LORD God had made. The Serpent asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?” The woman answered the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the garden; it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it lest you die’.” But the Serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die! No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad.” (Genesis 3:1-5) Serpent, Devil, Tempter, , Prince of Darkness, Fallen Angel, the Evil One, Lucifer, Diabolus, all of theses titles refer to the same figure, Satan. The name Satan comes from the Hebrew for adversary. It is theorized that Satan is a symbolic figure for those who opposed the Biblical writers, in the Old Testament the Satan was meaning the other nations, the idol worshipers, and in the New the Pharisees and the Jews who ejected the growing Christian faith from the Jewish community. In the time of the later church, Satan and his works were meaning heretics and such. Anything on the outside that appeared to be a threat became of Satan. It is also a theory that Satan is a real individual, a real spirit, the fallen angel. Some stories hold that selfish pride and lust for power brought about the fall of Lucifer, “the light bearer”. St. Augustine wrote that the Devil was “inflated with pride, he wished to be called God”. The words of the prophet Isaiah illustrate this idea: How you are fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! How are you cut down to the ground, you who mowed down the nations! You said in your heart: ‘I will scale the heavens; above the stars of God I will set up my throne; I will take my seat on the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the North. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will be like the most high.’ Yet down to the nether world you go, into the recesses of Sheol! (Isaiah 14:12-15) St.

  • Eve And Adam: Genesis 2-3 Reread By Phyllis Trible

    Throughout history, it is clear that men are usually seen to be advantaged by the logic of domination while females tend to be disadvantaged. Whether it be in the workplace, household, or even the bible men have always been inferior to women. Through history, cultural norms and stereotypes gender roles were created and have been present throughout society. Although it is believed that males are more advantaged than females the texts Eve and Adam: Genesis 2-3 Reread by Phyllis Trible and The Creation and Fall of Man and Woman explain how men and woman are in fact equal and maybe even disadvantaged by these cultural arrangements. Therefore, throughout history it is clear that gender discourses would allow one to believe that men are advantaged

    Around 1400 B.C. Exodus was written in Hebrew. The Exodus, which is one of the books in the Old Testament, are rules, similar to Hammurabi Code placed by God for the descendants of Abram. This literature gives insight into the structure of the Jewish community, which includes the hierarchy of their community as well as the roles important in this community. Scholars can further understand the Hebrew community by reading Genesis. Genesis consists of religious stories that talks about how farming, slavery, and the world came into being. But overall, scholars can see a society very much center on religion.

  • Death Through Adam Life Through Christ

    As many of us know it today as the Bible states, God created man, "he formed him from dust and breathed into his nostrils to bring him to life. He planted a garden in Eden and put the man there. Out of the ground God made every tree pleasant to see and good for food." (Nietzsche) For the serpent had told Eve that the tree of knowledge of good and evil would not harm her or Adam, they chose to eat from it, without listening to the command of God. By eating this fruit, it imposes the knowledge of good and evil on Adam and Eve and now it causes the risk of making a sin against humanity. This is where the comparison of Adam and Jesus Christ come in for it explains the sin of Adam and how Jesus Christ maybe have cursed humanity through Adam according to Nietzsche.

God killed everyone on earth but had mercy on Noah because he understood that Noah faced tough times and God showed grace and mercy by saving him.

  • Aronofsky's Noah Analysis

    1093 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the film, when Noah is telling the story of creation, he says “In the beginning, there was nothing,” but Genesis 1:1 says “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” He also said “Adam and Eve had three sons,” but Genesis 5:4 says “Adam and Even had Cain, Abel, Seth, and other sons and daughters.” In the film Japheth is Noah’s youngest son, but Genesis 9:24 says that Ham is Noah’s youngest son. Japheth in the movie also releases the raven, but Genesis 9:7 says that Noah released the raven. And, as stated before, in the film Noah built the Ark to save the animals, but in the Bible Noah was commanded to build the Ark to save humanity and the animals. Albeit these details prior to the last one might be small, they show that the director and his co-writer Ari Handel blatantly and deliberately lied about details of the Biblical story of Noah (Patterson, Chaffey, 2014).

  • The Bible And The Bible

    In the Bible Noah is referred to as “a preacher of righteousness” (Peter 2:5). Noah is a man of God who receives warning of a great flood to cover the planet, sent by God to wash the sins of mankind clean. When Noah builds the Ark, his wife and three sons board. The rest of the Earth, and humanity is drowned with Gods anger. When the waters resides, the Ark is said to have come to rest in the Mountains of Ararat. (Gen. 8.4) The Quran goes into depth about the dialogue that Noah had with the “wicked”. He successfully converts several faithful to his Ark, but his wife and one sons reject Noah, and drown in the rain. When the flood resides, the Quran says that Noah, and his Ark come to rest on Mount Judi, which is a specific peak of the Ararat mountain range in modern day Turkey. Contrary to the Bible, and although certain Islamic scholars claim different interpretations, the Quran does not teach that there was a global flood, just a severe flooding of the region. Noah story changes depending on who is telling it, and the inconsistencies between scriptures continue into the times of

    572 Words  | 2 Pages

    Noah, reputably known as the builder of the Ark, the 1st wine drinker and the 10th and final of the Antediluvian Patriarchs. Not much is known about Noah origins other than his age which was said to be roughly 500 years old when 1st mentioned in Genesis 5:32. It is said that Noah was a blameless man that walked with God, but due to his righteousness he was disliked by his fellow man. After the great flood, God promised to Noah that never again would the he destroy all life on Earth using a flood also known as the Noahic covenant. Noah later became a husbandman, or small landowner, which is below that of a yeoman. There he planted a vineyard and eventually created wine. This led to Noah becoming a drunk and passing out in the nude. Noah’s son Ham happened upon Noah and told his brethren of the ordeal. Noah blamed Ham for his embarrassment and cursed Ham’s son, Canaan. The curse of Ham was that Canaan would be a servant under his uncle, Shem. It is said that Noah died at the ripe old age of 950 years old, nearly 350 years after the floods told about within Genesis. He ...
