I kept feeling like I was missing something this morning and, lo and behold, it was my blog! I absolutely love talking about Jesus, God’s Word, Bible History, and I even like writing. Yes, I know, I know…writing. Yes, I did not stutter. Lol. I actually received my BA and my MEd in Education. I was a high school English teacher for 14 years. So, yep! I looooooove writing. My experience in education also gave me GREAT insight into young adults and older teens. I have the tools I need to share my testimony with them!
Todaaaaaay, we get to speak further about the Nephilim. I introduced the Nephilim according to Genesis 6 in my last blog, so today, we will talk about their role on earth. The Nephilim are mentioned many times throughout the Bible, but the way the scribes have translated the Bible, these stories don’t connect to the broader intent of Satan’s schemes, unnatural bloodlines, and the true meaning behind God’s decision to flood the earth. It was too radical to leave the original intent. Now, readers are apt to read over the beginning of chapter 6 in Genesis without thinking that daughters of men and sons of God would be anything out of the ordinary. The words are specifically changed to create ambiguity and camouflage the truth. Although, if you know the original Hebrew language or are interested in studying it, you do find out the original and intended meaning behind the text. Looking at the original Hebrew text in last week's blog, provided insight into the Bible that I didn’t understand for most of my life!!
Directly after mentioning the Nephilim, the text (NIV) reads God is going to wipe mankind from the earth and how grieved he is. The Hebrew word means sorrowful, so God is heartbroken over the overwhelming amount of evil on earth. Ever since I have even understood a modicum of the creation of Heaven and Earth, I have never ever considered that God was privy to a much bigger issue. OF COURSE HE IS…He’s always going to see a much bigger picture than we are. I just can’t believe it took me a good 40 years to figure it out! The issue that God recognizes that none of us are even thinking about…well, I’m not…is the issue of a contaminated bloodline. When God created Adam and Eve, there was a sealed bloodline between all of humanity and God. When the fallen angels came and had sex with females, humans, the supernatural element of a connected bloodline with God was contaminated. God said Noah and his family were pure. What that means is a clean bloodline. If God could separate Noah and his family and the clean animals from the Nephilim, the fallen angels, and everybody who had been contaminated by a supernatural bloodline, the prophecy would still be fulfilled. The prophecy was of Jesus being born of God’s most cherished creation, with original and unbroken intent. God used Noah, his wife, his sons, and his sons' wives to protect the original bloodline and protect the prophecy of Jesus' birth.
Sooooo cool!! I'll see you next time!
