Episode #19 Bonus
This Week on Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints we have a special bonus episode where we continue our journey through the Unseen Realm. This week we tackle one of the most controversial, fascinating and mysterious subjects of all – The Mystery of Nephilim.
Who are these mysterious half man, half angel creatures? They show up all over the Bible causing trouble from Genesis 6 through the battles of conquest led by Moses and Joshua to David battling with the most famous Nephilim of all – Goliath. They even show up in the story of Esther! And yet, who are these shadowy characters? What do we know about them? It can all be very vague and confusing sometimes.
The word Nephilim means Giant, so how do we as modern people understand this? Are they fifty feet tall? Are they just fierce tyrannical kings from the surrounding enemy nations? Is it all just Bronze age myth or ancient hyperbole? Or… is there something more going on here? Something far darker and more sinister than you can possibly imagine!
The war against the Giants (the Nephilim) is a major theme in the Old Testament, and they show up continuously. They even make an oblique appearance in the New Testament and yet, most modern people and the majority of Churches today rarely discuss them. This is an error.
The silence of most Christians on the topic has left the field wide open to much wild, reckless speculation. And this has caused this subject to become rich fodder for tin foil behatted conspiracy theorists, cranks and crazies to be the only ones discussing the subject. And of course, shows like Ancient Aliens are always up for producing a show about the Nephilim. It is one of their favorite topics.
And yet, if we really want to take the Bible Seriously, which all Christians should, then we need to tackle this difficult subject head on with our eyes wide open. On this week’s fascinating episode, we will do just that!
Be sure to tune in to an amazing conversation about the one of the darkest topics in the Bible – The Nephilim. I hope to see you there. It will be an incredible journey!
