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
            a more specific description inasmuch as it refers to
            the angels. There is the more common belief that
            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
            The  Twelve  Spies  report  that  they  have  seen
            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
                                                   83 | P a g e
