Old Testament Giants

Post by patrissimo »

Did Dake believe the giants in the OT were hybrids of demons and humans and that they will not be resurrected?

No and Yes.

No he did NOT believe them to be hybrids of demons and humans.
All these giant nations came from a union of the sons of God (fallen angels) and daughters of men after the flood. Beings of great stature, some of them even had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot and carried spears weighing from 10 to 25 pounds (2Sam. 21:16-22; 1Chr. 20:4-8). Goliath, whom David slew, wore a coat of armor weighing 196 pounds and was nine feet and nine inches tall (1Sam. 17:4-6). The pyramids of Egypt, the giant cities of Bashan and other huge monuments of construction may remain a mystery until they are accepted as the result of the labor and skill of giants.

Yes, he did believe they will NOT be resurrected.
2. The fact that the Rephaim have no resurrection (Isa. 26:14) proves the reality of giants and that they were not ordinary men. All ordinary men are to be resurrected (Jn. 5:28-29); therefore, giants must be a different class from pure Adamites. Isaiah makes it clear that the dead (Hebrew: Repha'iym (HSN-<H7497>)) are now in hell (Isa. 14:9). Solomon confirms this in Prov. 2:18; 9:18; 21:16 where the Hebrew word for dead is Rephaim. See notes, Isa. 26:14,19.

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

The first quote you sent me says that the giants were a result of the union of daughters of men with fallen angels. This is what made me think of them as hybrids in the first place! How is this not a hybrid?

You asked: "Did Dake believe the giants in the OT were hybrids of demons and humans and that they will not be resurrected?

Dake did not believe them to be a hybrid of DEMONS and humans.

It was ANGELS and humans.

Okay. But Dake called them fallen angels which is why I called them demons. Either way, I think I understand better now.

No problem... But why would you think that a fallen angel is a demon (disembodied spirit)?

A spirit who use to have a body but no longer is in possession of his body.

So are both fallen angels and their giant offspring disembodied forever?
