The Land of the Giants: Fact or Fiction
Send us a text
Giants. We are not talking about the football team,
Giants. The very word evokes a sense of awe, people as tall as buildings with the potential for utter destruction, and the possibility that they may eat you like in so much of mythology. Like the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk.
My mom used to read me the story of Jack and the Beanstalk when I was a kid. Scard the you-know-what out of me. It was a fairy tale but the original might be banned in the world of today or at least rated PG13.
This podcast may not be for the weak-hearted so a word of caution. Send the children out to play, grab a cup of coffee and take a seat on the couch. You may want to put on a seatbelt.
Have you ever wondered if giants really existed in our past? No matter what the culture or religion, if they go back long enough there will be talk of a time when giants roamed the world.
They weren’t very nice guys apparently, and most scholars write them off as mythology. The Bible had something to say about giants, known as the Nephilim and are mentioned from Genesis to Jude.
Here is the first mention and takes place as early man was beginning to populate the known world at that time:
“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; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.'
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-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.” (Genesis 6:1-4) NIV
