Genesis 6

And it comes out to be the exact same thing as the last group of verses that I read, sons of the mighty ones, Baniha Elohim again.

And we also know that in Genesis 6, 4, that the Baniha Elohim are talked about there.

We know Job 1, 6 and 2, 1, when it talks about the sons of God that go in with Satan and Satan is trying to take Job down.

And we also know in Deuteronomy 32, 8, it's also talked about as well.

Now, Mount Hermon... is a mountain cluster, and it is on the southern end of anti-Lebanon mountains, and it straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon, and it's at an elevation of a little over 9,000 feet.

Its highest point is in Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Now, to get to the story of Mount Hermon, now, obviously, in Genesis 6, we know biblically that the sons of God, the Baniha Elohim, got with the daughters of men and created these Nephilim, these giants.

But we want to look at Enoch chapter 6 is where we get our idea of Mount Hermon.

This goes back to the antediluvian world and the story of the descent of the Watchers.

Book of Enoch articulates this story along with other Dead Sea Scrolls texts, primarily the Book of Enoch, the Enochic tradition, but also the Book of Genesis alludes to this, Genesis 6.

There were these non-human extraterrestrial interlopers came down into our realm.

They exchanged knowledge with us, human beings, for the hands of particular maidens that they chose in marriage.

Quick recap.

In Genesis 6, God looks at the earth and sees that the wickedness of man is great and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Violence filled the earth and God's response is grief.

The texts say it grieved him at his heart.

God gives Noah exact instructions.

Go forward, three decks, one door, one window.

And Genesis 6 ends with the most important sentence about Noah's character.

Thus did Noah according to all God commanded him.

Scripture.

What if the modern UFO phenomenon isn't new at all? What if its origins go all the way back to Genesis 6? Today, author and researcher Will Blesch joins me from Israel to explore the Watchers, the Nephilim, the Mysterious Graves, and a possible connection between ancient biblical accounts and encounters happening today.

This is The Ryan Files.

This is incredible.

At what point, I'm just curious out of my own reflection, at what point did Genesis 6 kind of hit you and open your eyes?

Wow.

Therefore, it is said, like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.'" So I spoke about how the phrase mighty or mighty man is the Hebrew gebor.

It's a word that was previously applied to the giants of Genesis 6, the quote, mighty men of old, the men of renown.

And also the Greek Septuagint says right there that Nimrod was a gigas.

That's the Greek word for giant.

He was not born one.

Something happened to Nimrod to change him.

Now, can a Watcher change somebody's genetics? I mean, it was already weird enough whenever we started this podcast with the Genesis 6 view of Watchers marrying and procreating with human women.

I mean, that was already...

That said...

I know that there's a lot of debate about the, you know, Genesis 6 and the Nephilim and how the sons of God came to the daughters of men and had children by them.

And they were the giants of old called the Nephilim.

It's not a hill I'm going to die on, to be honest.

But again, I'm not going to claim any kind of definites where Scripture doesn't.

And I certainly don't want us getting so caught up in the mystery of Genesis 6 that we miss the God of Genesis 6, a God who takes sin seriously and a God who shows grace.

I would love to know which interpretation you believe and why.

Tell me in the comments.
