Introduction: A little History
The Nephilim are a race directly descended from angels and humans, but not from the fallen angels. These angels were posted closer to Earth in order to watch over mankind and to protect them from the fallen angels; that are now known as demons. As they watched their desire to protect the humans grew into a desire FOR the humans as daughters were being born and the Earth was increasing in population. They left the heavens, from God's watch and onto Mt Herman and made a pact to leave the first heaven to mate with the daughters. So they took on male form and had intercourse with as many women as possible and also bear children. Once the sin was done the Lord banished them from Heaven and they were later chained in the Holding Place.
These angels or "The Watchers" seem to be known more commonly as the god's in mythology: e.g. Zeus, Hades, Hermes etc but other countries are sure to have their names for them too. The humans saw them as gods for they taught them everything from gold and wisdom to weapons and destruction. They knew the people worshipped them and did nothing to hide their powers. The children born of The Watchers inherited their knowledge and power but also came in the form of giants. They named the children Nephilim due to the fact that they had human blood and flesh and was not immortal.
Even though the Nephilim were giants and had super-human characteristics; they were mainly spiritual from their immortal fathers. So on Earth they could not be spiritually fed and over the generations they were forced to live according to the lifestyle of humans, which resulted in their physical strength and height decreasing.
But the knowledge taught from their fathers, stayed with them…
