The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels
Noah's ark tells us this. “When men began to
increase in number on the earth and daughters
were born to them, the sons of God saw that the
daughters of men were beautiful, and they
married any of them they chose. Then the Lord
said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever,
for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty
years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those
days and afterwards when the sons of God went to
the daughters of men and had children by them.
They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”
Albeit that some say the Nephilim were
the sons of Seth, the term sons of God seem to have

they were fallen angels and this has credibility. -
The word "Nephilim" derives from the Semitic
root, "to fall" which also includes "causing to fall"
and "to kill, to ruin." The New American Bible
commentary draws a parallel to the Epistle of Jude
and the statements set forth in Genesis, suggesting
that the Epistle refers implicitly to the paternity of
the Nephilim as heavenly beings that came to
earth and had sexual intercourse with women.
The second reference is Numbers 13:32–33, where

fearsome giants in Canaan and they spread
among the Israelites a bad report about the land
they had explored. They said, "The land we
explored devours those living in it. All the people
