Giants & Dragons | Part 1: The Nephilim

Links: https://bit.ly/Ask-KnowGrowGo https://www.instagram.com/theknowgrowgo_pod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr What were the Nephilim? Were they fallen angels, tyrannical rulers, or simply ancient giants? And how do they connect to the larger storyline of Scripture? In Part One of our two-part series “Giants & Dragons,” we tackle one of the more mysterious passages in the Bible. We examine Genesis 6:1–4, the “sons of God” and “daughters of men,” and the appearance of the Nephilim before and after the flood. We also explore Numbers 13, Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, Og of Bashan in Deuteronomy 3, and how these texts shape a biblical view of Nephilim (aka giants). Along the way, we discuss the two major evangelical views: • The fallen angel view, where spiritual beings rebel and produce hybrid offspring • The Sethite view, where the godly line of Seth intermingles with the ungodly line of Cain We also address key New Testament passages in 2 Peter 2 and Jude that reference angels in chains, the role of the flood in redemptive history, and how Genesis 1–11 establishes the foundation for the entire biblical narrative. This episode balances careful hermeneutics with thoughtful speculation. We engage questions about ancient worldviews, apocalyptic literature like 1 Enoch, giant clans in the Old Testament, and how Christians should think about controversial or mysterious biblical texts without drifting into unhealthy obsession. If you have questions about the Nephilim, fallen angels, biblical giants, or the supernatural elements of Scripture, this episode is designed to equip you to think clearly and biblically. Part Two will focus on Behemoth and Leviathan and what they reveal about chaos, evil, and God’s sovereignty. Submit your questions through the link in the description. We love hearing from you.
