Chapter 18
Reemergence of the Same World After the Flood
Like a dog that returns to its vomit is a fool who repeats his folly
.
- Prov
. 26:11 (KJV)
The Depravity Continues
The Bible does state that, after the flood, Noah and his immediate family went down from the ark; and tried to go back towards living their lives, again. Assuredly, Noah’s family got it in their minds that God really wasn’t kidding, in regards to what He wanted: He wanted people to live morally
, now, after the flood… not
the other way around. Well, if this was true, what about this? What about the rest
of the people who were on board? What would happen to everyone who came off of the ark?
And, as well, do we have some scriptural evidence that shows us that the human groups which may have boarded the ark also
went forth from the ark? How about these antediluvian giants (i.e. the Anakim and Mighty Men) of the pre-flood world? Did they survive, and thrive after the flood? And, if they did survive, did they remain pious
? What about the Cainites (i.e. the sons of Cain) and the Amalekites (i.e. other sons of the Serpent)? Where were they, after the flood? Did they remain pious? Ultimately, the question to ask is: how did the world come back
to the same states of corruption, again, in a lot of ways… if only the pious
were able to survive? What may have gone on, here?
We already know that Naamah, Ham, and Ham’s wife probably had the blood of Cain
; possibly the blood of a major fallen angel! Did all of those once “pious” individuals aboard the ark hold onto their honor after the flood
? Could identifying these same
groups after the flood, as well as understanding what moral
directions many of them might have taken, give us further
credence to support this book’s theme
?
The Post-Flood Fall to Corruption
God blessed
Noah and his family
with: “Be fruitful, multiply, rule all
beasts
,
birds
and
creeping things
.”
(Graves and Patai, 1964, p. 115)
1
We know eight souls from Adam’s pure, direct blood line survived the flood. As we’ve also discovered, a lot of written evidence may exist to show that there were more
people aboard the ark, beyond just these eight. Do we also have ancient evidence, even in the Bible
, which shows how every one of the above groups still lived, and thrived, after
the flood? Apparently, yes.
After the flood, no longer was there that huge division of people, such as the Cainites
, being down in a valley; and the Sethites
, living up in a mountain. No longer was this enmity
so well-defined, anymore. There would be a number of groups of people, going in a number of different directions - all to be developing varying agendas and ways of life. As with before the flood, seed lines were going to be mix; new groups of nations were about to be formed. Since God promised Noah, after the flood, that He would no longer execute His judgment on the earth with a flood
, again, the above groups were able to head themselves in many
different, and unfettered, directions (both physically and ideologically
). As a result, things were going to become a lot more
complicated than ever before - especially
for those eight pure souls of Adam, and their attempts to preserve this promised seed. So, this would now become another major
element to the world’s complexity - the ability to distinguish one of the Serpent’s seed from one with this Adamic seed
! Yet, as we recall, it was extremely
important - before the flood - to assure that some pure descendants of these Adamic souls to remain… but, the world was about to become very complex. What would God do, to assure continuity? We now discover why there had to have been a chosen people
of God - known as the Israelites
- after the flood… to preserve this seed! Yes, the Israelites
were of this direct seed of Adam; and God wanted to make sure enough of them survived, throughout the ages, in pure of form. There are reasons for everything; and this
was one major reason God went to Abraham, and informed him that he was about to be the patriarch of something very special. One could figure that it also
had become part of Satan’s plan - in the post-flood era - to
destroy
this seed line from off the face of the earth… hence, the major reason for the creation of the Israeli nation; and its struggle, throughout the ages.
Let’s identify some of these same
groups after the flood, and how the fulfillment of God’s antediluvian prophecies had taken place.
The Same Groups… After the Flood?
We recall the five antediluvian human groups:
-
The
Adamites
-
The
Behemah
(or “Cattle”/”Beasts”)
-
The
Chay
(or “Beasts”)
of the Field
-
The
Remes
(or “Creeping Thing”)
that Creepeth
-
The
Owph
(or “Fowl”)
of the Ai
r
We’ll now see written evidence to show that these groups may have still thrived after the flood
, as well. Here is one possible example:
and Noah…
And his sons with him, his wife, and their wives
,
And
creeping things
(Remes?), and
birds
(Owph?), and
quadrupeds
(i.e. beasts - Bahemah and Chay?);
And all else
from the wooden house
went forth
Into one place. And then, most just of
men
(Adamites?)
,
Went Noah forth…
-
Sibylline Oracles
Book 1, Lines 325-328
2
Here, the ancient
Sibylline Oracles
also seems to label these groups in a similar way. Again, if they were
only
animals, here, then wouldn’t it be much simpler to just
lump
all of these groups of animals together - using the word “animals” to describe all that left the ark - rather than have to divide them up, here, into certain, individual groups? Makes no sense, really. Why would one waste their time doing this… if there wasn’t something
more
to it all? If everything already mentioned in this, and
previous chapters
, have not
already convinced the reader that there was something
more
to these groups, maybe the following examples will.
The Post-Flood Behemah
We recall the Hebrew word Behemah
was often translated into English as either the words cattle
or beast
. One ancient source interprets the Behemah
in this way:
There are many evil kinds among Yisrael that are called
cattle
and
beasts
. One is from
the side of the Serpent
and another from
the side of the idolatrous nations
, who are
like the animals and wild beasts
.
Obviously, these are human beings. We also surmised that the Behemah
were distinguished from other groups of human beings via their occupation
- they were in charge of animal herding and domestication. One possible draw back to their occupation, however, could be that a number of them - if they began to falter
in their moral code - could easily begin to act as uncivilized
as the animals around them! They had the perfect teachers, right in front of them. Thus began the association of people with wildly uncivilized and decadent practices with untamed members of the animal kingdom. Not to say that all of the Behemah
acted in this way… not even close; but, there were a few
that did (just like in any other group). These acts of human savagery and indecency not only happened before the flood, but after
.
Job, a famous prophet of the Bible, was once accused of acting immoral. Notice what he says, in response:
Wherefore are we counted as
beasts
, and reputed vile in your sight?
- Job
18:3 (KJV)
Again, the word for beasts
, here, in the above, is Behemah
.
And, in another example, we see the Bible seems to separates real
animals of the field from the actual human beings found working
in the field (i.e. the Adamites and
the Behemah
):
Send therefore now, and gather thy
cattle, and all that thou hast in the field
; for upon every
Adam (man) and Behemah (beast) which shall be found in the field
, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die
.
- Ex
. 9:19 (in retranslation)
The next set of verses involves the city of Ninevah. Almost a thousand years before the birth of Christ, the king of Ninevah became very remorseful, and wanted to plead to God, for mercy. He would go on to proclaim that all men
under him - no matter who they were - would have to wear sackcloth; and plead to God for forgiveness. Notice how the below verses seem to also group the Adamites
and Behemah
together, and how they are differentiated from real
groups of animals (found in a herd
or flock
):
Jonah
3:
7
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Ninevah by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither
Adam
(man) nor
Behemah
(beast),
herd nor flock
, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water
.
(in retranslation)
The following verse also stated that men and Behemah
were to, both, turn from their evil ways; and refrain from the violence they had once caused.
Jonah
3:
8
But let
Adam
(man) and
Behemah
(beast) be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from
his evil way
, and from the violence that is in their
hands
.
(in retranslation)
Now, what kind of large animal knows that their ways are evil
? And, what kind of animal has hands
, none-the-less? Animals don’t have hands or feet - they have paws and claws; the Behemah
, however, do
… just like other human being. There are more
:
Ex.
19:
12
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
13
There shall not
an hand
touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be
Behemah
(beast) or
Adam
(man), it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount
.
14
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes
.
(in retranslation)
Gen.
9:
5
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the
hand
of every beast will I require it…
We also see that the Behemah
have feet
, unlike any animal:
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor
foot of Behemah
(beast) shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years
.
- Ezek
. 29:11 (in retranslation)
And, unlike the animal kingdom, the Behemah
seem to understand the concept of work
:
For before these days there was no
hire
for
Adam
(man),
nor any hire
for
Behemah
(beast); neither was there any
peace
to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all
men
every one against his neighbour
.
- Zech
. 8:10 (in retranslation)
Would anyone need to hire an animal? And, how many animals understand what the concept of peace
is? Also, how many animals consciously set out to turn themselves against their neighbors? These behaviors only refer to people, and what people
do
.
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD they God; in it thou shalt not do any
work
, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle
(Bahemah), nor thy stranger that is within thy gates
.
- Ex
. 20:10 (KJV)
As we see in the above, the verse seems to be referring only
to working human beings.
We now see a number of examples that show us that there could
have been a group of human
individuals - known as Behemah
- in the Bible. And we also understand that a group of Behemah
might have even been around before
the time of Adam’s creation… as well as long after; surviving Noah’s flood.
What about the Chay of the Field
?
The Chay of the Post-Flood World
The word Chay
, in its most basic meaning, stands for “living creature,” “community,” or “relative.” We’ve already attested that they, as well, could have been another group of human beings out there; beginning before the time of Adam. And these could have been a group of humans who, since the time of Adam, worked the fields
: as gardeners; field hands, harvesters, etc. Could they have survived the flood, too?
Ex.
23:
10
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
11
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the
poor of thy people
may eat: and what they leave the
Chay
(beasts)
of the Field
shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard
.
(in retranslation)
Again, these verses seem to be referring to individuals who work
- work in the vineyards and olive yards. If we think about it, who, by the way, would really want to let large, domesticated animals come into their vineyards, or olive yards, and trample on all of their vines? People could walk through these yards, however.
Again, as before, these verses go back to a time after
the flood; which tells us that the Chay of the Field may have also survived
.
The Owph of the Post-Flood World
The Owph of the Air
could, very well, have been another group of pre-Adamites, here. In the following verses, an entire (Assyrian) nation, and its leader, was compared to a Cedar tree… so were other people
, it seems:
Ezek.
31:
3
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs
.
5
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth
.
6
All the
Owph of the Air
(fowls of heaven) made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the
Chay
(beasts)
of the Field
bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great
nations
.
(in retranslation)
These are definitely groups of people
, here - and not animals.
We also see, in the following, that some of the Owph of the Air
(as well as the Behemah
) were looked upon as heathen
, or idolatrous
:
Lev.
20:
22
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out
.
23
And ye shall not walk in
the manners of the nation, which I cast out
before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them
.
24
But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other
people
.
25
Ye shall therefore put difference between clean
Behemah
(beasts) and unclean, and between unclean
Owph
(fowls) and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by
Behemah
(beast), or by
Owph
(fowl), or by any manner of living thing that creepeth (from the Darkness) on the ground, which I have separated from
you as unclean
.
26
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other
people
, that ye should be mine
.
(in retranslation
)
So, what kind of animal would want to make another person’s soul feel abominable
by associating with them? The Owph of the Air
, also, must have survived.
The Remes of the Post-Flood World
Even up to 1500 years after the flood, the Bible seems to mention these same pre-Adamites groups - in their same
, original titles
! The following verse - near the end of the Old Testament - describes how God had made a covenant with Israel… and (seemingly) with other
groups of people:
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the
Chay
(beasts)
of the Field
and with the
Owph of the Air
(fowls of heaven), and with the
Remes
(creeping things)
of the ground
: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely
.
- Ho
. 2:18 (in retranslation)
Why would God make a covenant with animals
? Makes no sense.
And, in the book of Ezekiel, we see the same four groups mentioned again
:
…the
Fowls of the Heaven
, and the
Beasts of the Field
, and all
Creeping Things that Creep
upon the earth, and all the
Adamites
(men) that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground
.
- Ezek
. 38:20 (in retranslation)
Again, wouldn’t it much easier to state that, “all of the animals and men shall shake…”? But, it seems that God, in His word, clearly defined these as individual
groups; and not
just groups of animals.
Well, there seems to be a good number of scriptural, and non-scriptural, evidence alike which shows us that the same pre-Adamite groups lived before the flood; and could have survived after
.
What about the antediluvian giants
- those mixed offspring of humans and those fallen, terrestrial angels? Did any of the pious - or even some of those who weren’t so pious
, survive Noah’s flood, as well?
The Giants - Also Survivors of the Flood
If, at the end of the day, it was found that no such evidence for the existence of a now lost race in the Bible lands could be discovered, then at least an age-old enigma would have been investigated thoroughly. On the other hand, if… angels and fallen angels once walked among mankind as beings of flesh and blood, no different from you or me, then
it could change our perspective of world history for ever
.
Evolutionary anthropologists generally
hate
giants, because they upset their pet theories. However, the evidence points to
physical degeneration
, and not evolutionary
improvement
, as the story of life on Earth. Giants
prove
that the Bible account of history is the true one. And that’s not a popular concept with men whose hearts are at
enmity
against the idea of God
.
The mixed offspring of the Nephilim and the Watchers - collectively known as the
giants
- could have also survived the flood! Even though most may have been somewhat pious aboard the ark, the worldly states of immorality and corruption, reportedly, were on the rise,
again
.
6
By the time of Noah’s death, there may have even been up to a
million
people on the earth. And, as before the flood, it seemed like a growing number of human individuals had some blood of these pre-flood angelic beings.
7
Were many of these post-flood giants beginning to act as they did before the flood?
The Post-Flood Anakims
…for all the sons of men have gone astray through the corruptions of those angels who fell from among the Gods and mingled their seed with the daughters of men and begat sons of
great strength
and mighty
wickedness
.
-
Writings of Abraham
4:2
8
As we’ll soon discover, the descendants of the Nephilim - the
Anakim
- also, apparently, survived the flood… to go on to negatively influence the world in much the same way! Some looked a lot like the Anakim of
before
: up to 9-foot tall, even possessing their famous necklaces. These post-flood Anakim began to pull a number of people
right back
to the same states of desolation, decay, and towards utter revolution against God!
9
They had, again, become a burden, or “chain,” around the necks of many of the pious individuals settling around them - trying, once again, to live out their lives in normal, wholesome ways:
From the Other Side, they overcame Yisrael (Israel)… They
rob
them,
shattering
and
wasting their work
… (and)
destroyed
the earth as they expanded…
Besides desolating the land - and people - around them, the Anakim began to be aggressive against their neighbors:
11
Josh.
14:
12
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the
Anakims
were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said
.
Deut.
1:
28
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is
greater and taller
than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the
Anakims
there
.
The Bible even says that these post-flood Anakim
originated in the Nephilim!
Num.
13:
30
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it
.
31
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we
.
32
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a
land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a
great-stature
.
33
And there we saw the
Nephilim
(giants), the sons of
Anak
,
which come of
the
Nephilim
(giants): and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight
.
(in retranslation)
This clearly shows us how the Nephilim’s descendants probably survived the flood - as the Anakims.
The Rapha
The Bible also speaks of a group of individuals known as the
Rapha
(or the
Refaim
, the
Rephaim
, etc.) - as another group of
giants
who lived after the flood.
12
Who were
they
? Why do we have a group with
another
, post-flood name, here? Sometimes, it seems the Rapha were grouped together with other giants; other times they were separate.
13
Most probably, they were nothing but these
Mighty Men
of the post flood world - the giant, twelve to fourteen foot tall offspring of those unholy Watchers. We’ll soon see how we come to this conclusion. But, why would they have a different name,
now
?
The name
Rapha
, in actuality, comes from a Hebrew word meaning to “seize,” to “heal,” or to “pluck out.”
14
And, along these lines, we may now be able to conclude that the Rapha might have descended from those who had been “seized,” or even “plucked,” out of their once-worthy positions… as the Watchers once were! And, after the flood of Noah, the sinful acts of these angelic forefathers would now be “justified,” or “healed,” in their descendants (we shall soon see how).
To provide an answer, let’s look at some interesting elements to this all. As we recall, there were a number of reasons why God did not
want fallen angels to breed with human beings: it was because so many of their descendents would probably have some rough times surviving in this world - especially
, as we’ll see, in the post-flood
world
.
“The Dead Shall Not Rise”
Another meaning of the name
Rapha
is associated with those “shades living in Hades.”
15
Now, why were the
Rapha
(or
Refaim
) associated with this? First off, the Rapha, interestingly enough, were also thought to be
the living dead
, after the flood. Why? Well, according to theory, there were
atmospheric changes
at the time of the flood which didn’t allow human beings to live as they did before - to not live
as long
. Although they once lived up to 900 years, or
more
, life spans, eventually, would be reduced - down to 100 years… even
less
.
The climate and environment both on the land and in the sea enabled creatures to live long ages and reach huge sizes
.
Now, because of these changes, the Rapha began to be associated with the dead
:
Of them (the Refaim), it is written: “The shades of the
dead
(Heb. refaim) shall not rise” (Yeshayah (Isaiah) 26:14), meaning that they shall not rise at the
resurrection of the dead
.
They are
dead
, they shall not live; they are
of the Rapha
(i.e. deceased), they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish
.
- Isa
. 26:14 (in retranslation)
What happened? Before the flood, the
Anakim
and
Mighty Men
(i.e. the pre-flood
Refaim
) were able to live very long lives; but
so did human beings
. After the flood, the giants apparently
still
had that ability. Not so for the human race. This would prove very
devastating
for the Anakim and Refaim, if we think about it.
18
One half of their
hybrid
bodies would, now, begin to die before the other. How horrifying!
How can you say that “Refaim” is from the linguistic root of lax, weak… The explanation is because those giants were from two sides, meaning from an angelic source and a human female source, and were made more
hopeless to exist
on the earth. Similarly, the
Refaim
… were even more despairing until they released themselves altogether from the above and were living long lives. When they became
weaker
, half their body became weakened and died and half their body remained living - since they were composed half of angels that do not deteriorate and die, and half of humans that do eventually die. When half of their body was deceased, they used to pick herbs from the field grasses, meaning poisonous herbs, swallowed them and died. Because they wished to kill themselves, they were called Refaim, or
lax ones
, since they let themselves
loose
from life… They used to throw themselves into the great sea and drown, and they died. That is what it is written: “The shades (Heb. refaim) tremble; the waters beneath with the inhabitants thereof”…
-
Zohar
Shlach Lecha 10
19
Their human side began to die, only after a couple of hundred years; the other side still lived on
. Now, these Mighty Men
were slowly becoming weak
; and lax
. So, as once half of their physical body - their human
side - began to pass on, many became so distraught that they wished to commit suicide (and often did
). As we affirm, this half human, half angelic mixture, in the end, truly was not
meant to be. God was right. Almost nothing but a cursed
existence resulted from this.
The First in the Land
So, if this was so for the
Rapha
, then what about the other giants? What happened to them? Why don’t we see any remnants of
these
individuals, today... or
do
we? Well, the post-flood giants would go on to settle many of the
same
lands their antediluvian ancestors once did. And
this
, as we’ll soon see, posed a major problem to the post-flood world: there were lands dedicated to the Adamite
Shem
(a son of Noah) - a declaration made by Noah
himself
.
20
After the flood, Noah was made patriarch of the whole known world - allocating certain lands to certain descendants. Yet, in the land we now know as
Israel
or
Palestine
, a number of peoples - including these
giants
- defied Noah; and settled there, anyway. This is, most probably, one reason why there was so much conflict in these ancient lands, between the giants and other people around.
There were many examples of giants living in these areas…
after
the flood:
21
From the earliest times, a three-mile-long vale that… stretches south along
the road to Bethlehem
was known as the “Valley of the
Rephaim
,” or “Valley of the
Giants
.” Today it is called the Baqa’
.
(DeLoach, 1995, p. 109)
2
2
Ta Neter - “the land of the
Watchers
” - Also called “the land of
Shumer
” and “the land of Shin’ar”
.
(“The Geography of Heaven & Earth During the Antediluvian World”, n. d., p. 3)
23
…
Bashan
was called the land of the
giants
(or
Rephaim
, Deut. 3:13), leaving us to conclude the cities were built by giants
.
(DeLoach, 1995, p. 17)
24
Beit Jibrim means the “House of the
Gibborim
,” i.e., of “the
Giants
.” The town, which still exists even to this day… (is) on the road from
Jerusalem to Gaza
.
(DeLoach, 1995, p. 25)
25
Even one of the oldest cities in the area - the famous Jericho
- was said to have once had “Mighty Men
” within its walls (Josh. 6:2):
In olden days it (
Jericho
) also became widely known as the “city of the
giants
” - because so many Gibborim once lived within its walls
.
(DeLoach, 1995, p. 159)
26
The Unwelcome Ones
The giants were not favored in these lands they occupied - especially
by those Adamic Semites (sons of Shem). Other people in the area hated them, as well; and attacked them, periodically. Even hornets
and other natural elements seemed to be against them:
The text (the Bible) seems to promote the idea that nature itself was fighting against the giants who… were
out of balance
with nature. As a result, the land was ‘vomiting them out,’ driving them out and destroying them little by little to the point where they were ripe for conquest
.
(“Giants of the Ancient Near East”, 2003, p. 26)
27
It seemed the entire post-flood world knew that their days were numbered - including themselves
. They weren’t very popular, at all
.
The Last of the Refaim - Og and Sihon
…God gave him (Og) his
reward in this world
(because the wicked shall have no reward in the world to come) and made him a king; and he was king of Bashan
.
(Eisenmenger, 1748, p. 74)
28
The post-flood world soon became the last stand for these giants. As we recall, Og
and Sihon
were Mighty Men of the antediluvian world; and managed to survive the flood, on Noah’s ark.
Interestingly enough: although human life spans began to diminish after the flood,
Noah
, as well as anyone who came off of the ark,
still
probably had the ability to live a long life, after.
29
Not sure why. But, this was probably the reason that Og and Sihon
also
had the ability to live so long
after
the flood, as well. Through this, they truly had become “the Last of the Refaim.”
Josh.
12:
4
And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant
of the Rapha
(giants), that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei…
(in retranslation)
Deut.
3:
11
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant
of the Rapha
(giants); behold his
bedstead
was a bedstead of iron… nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it…
13
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh… with all Bashan, which was called the land
of the Rapha
(giants)
.
(in retranslation)
Og was mentioned some 22 times in the Old Testament; as well as by other ancient writers such as
Josephus
… which seems to give us even
further
evidence for his existence.
30
Og, after the flood, seemed to have had an interesting story about him. As we know, Og was allowed to survive the flood; with Noah granting them stay (by sitting atop of the ark). Because of Noah’s graciousness, Og swore allegiance to him, and all of his
descendants! He was going to be there for them. Og ended up living almost 900 years - well into the time of Moses
. This was, again, because he had the same
longevity of life as others born before the flood.
Beginning as a servant to Noah, he eventually ended up servant Noah’s descendants - all the way to the famous
Abraham
. Abraham’s wife, Sarah, was reportedly barren for most of her life. Og, however, noticed that Sarah was a very beautiful woman; and truly desired her. He mocked her, while she was with Abraham - hoping she would “bear no fruit” with him. When God began to notice this, He “suffered him to live many years; and till the time that he
might flee their children’s children
.”
31
In other words, God made sure Og lived for a very long time, and not be killed - so that he could see his whole world collapse from under him… under the offspring of
none other
than the descendants of Abraham himself! And, according to the Bible, that’s exactly
what
happened!
Og - King of the Amorites
Eventually, Og abandoned his role of servitude, and took position over other giants in the area. Og and Sihon both did not want to cease in their wickedness, however; nor refrain in this betrayal of honor. They simply didn’t care, anymore. The two eventually became combative to any of Abraham’s descendants… their Israeli contemporaries.
Og eventually became the leader of a group of giants, known as the
Amorites
.
32
The Amorites, and their leader Og, both joined forces to fight anyone in their way…
especially
those descendants of Abraham.
“Arad the Canaanite”
The name
Sihon
means “striking down” - a fitting name for one who ended up a war-like tyrant, as Sihon did.
33
Og’s brother also became known as “the Canaanite,” or “Arad the Canaanite” - ruling any lands he conquered with an iron fist.
3
4
As with Og, Sihon was mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament - at least 37 times!
35
They would even appear
together
in certain verses (in Josh. 2:10, 9:10, I Kings 4:19, Neh. 9:22 and Psa. 135:11):
And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to
Sihon
and to
Og
, kings of the
Amorites
, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed
.
- Deut
. 31:4 (KJV)
They may have survived for a while, but the rest of the Refaim, over time, were almost all
wiped out.
…Sichon (Sihon) was harder than a wall or tower; and harder than any other creature; and taller than any tower, when his feet touch’d the ground; and no creature could withstand him. What did God do? … He cast him out of his place, and deliver’d him to the Israelites
.
(Eisenmenger, 1748, p. 77)
36
Other Biblical Giants
There is even more
evidence of post-flood giants in the Bible, known by a number of titles. Not only do we have them as the Anakim
or Refaim
, but, they became known by other names (to people living around them):
-
the
Zuzims
or
Zamzummims
(in Gen. 14:5, Deut. 2:20)
-
the
Emims
(in Gen. 14:5, Deut. 2:10-11)
-
the
Horite
(in Gen. 36:20)
Even the post-flood
Jebusites
and
Perizzites
were thought to have been giants (in Gen. 10:16, Ex. 33:2, Josh. 9:1, 11:3, etc.); or in some way, related to them.
37
According to some, the Philistines were even thought to have been of
Anakim
blood. Interestingly enough, this leads us to the introduction of, probably, the most famous
giant
of them all:
Goliath
.
38
It seems very obvious that there were giants in the
post-flood
era, as well. Where did they come from, if they didn’t, somehow, survive Noah’s flood? And, what
were they
now
doing - in
this
post-flood world - to cause so much distain and disfavor to all of those living around them? Were many of them trying to drag their world
right back
to the same states of decadence that it once was? It seems these giants, for the most part, had gone right back down the same moral pathways. They, as well, may have passed on a number of
genetic
problems to the individuals they helped to sire, over the years: including
physical
problems; negative
spiritual
leanings; as well as
mental
issues. It seems like people who inherited this adulterated,
genetic
material often ended up feeling as if they might have been more
cursed
, overall; over those who did not possess any.
The Purging of These Ancient Lands
The giants began to rule harshly over other people; and also built cities in the areas that they dominated. According to some, they even built twenty-nine of them.
39
Their domain over these lands, however, would not last forever.
For which reason they (the children of Israel) removed their camp to Hebron; and when they had taken it, they slew all the inhabitants. There were till then left the race of
giants
, who had bodies so
large
, and
countenances so entirely different
from other men, that they were surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing
.
-
Falvius Josephus
Jewish Antiquities 5.2.3
40
Many people of the area began to work together, in order to annihilate them all. The Israeli Joshua
, for example, made war with them in a city named Hebron, near Mount Hermon
(yes, the same
Mount Hermon their Watcher ancestors were said to have routinely ascended and descended)!
Josh.
11:
21
And at that time came Joshua, and cut off
the Anakims
from the mountains, from
Hebron
… Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities
.
22
There was none of
the Anakims
left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained
.
Interesting enough, these post-flood giants were thought to have possessed six fingers
on each hand; as well as six
toes on each foot - the same as the giants were said to have had, before the flood. This seemed to have been just one genetic remnant of these offspring with mixed, angelic blood:
2 Sam.
21:
18
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the
sons of the Rapha
(giant)
.
20
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man
of great stature
, that had on every hand
six fingers
, and on every foot
six toes
, four and twenty in number; and he also was born
to the Rapha
(giant)
.
22
These four were born to the Rapha (giant) in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants
.
(in retranslation)
I Chr.
20:
5
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of
Goliath
the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a
weaver’s beam
.
6
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose
fingers
and
toes
were
four and twenty
,
six
on each hand and
six
on each foot: and he also was the son
of the Rapha
(giant)
.
7
But when he defiled Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him
.
Many of these Rapha, just the Mighty Men before them, were absolutely no
help to those who wanted to live a God-fearing life. They would rather give assistance to those who worshipped idols:
If they (the
Refaim
) notice a time of distress coming upon the children of Yisrael, they
abandon
them. Even if they have the power to save them, they
do not want to do so
. They abandon the Torah (the first books of the Old Testament) and avoid those who study it. Instead,
they do favors to those who worship idols
.

Sodom - Hub of Anakim Influence
As we mentioned, many people wanted to wipe out these giants, because of their impieties and improprieties. They just did not really belong… especially with their arrogance and corrupted moral leanings. We even see a Biblical account, below - led by a confederacy of post-flood kings - to do this very thing. Note a few of the nearby cities, listed here:
Gen.
14:
1
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
2
That these made war with Bera king of
Sodom
, and with Birsha king of
Gomorrah
… (and defeated them)
4
Twelve years… (the fallen people) served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled
.
5
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim
,
7
And they returned, and… smote all the country of the
Amalekites
, and also the
Amorites
…
These verses do not only help us to identify some of these ancient
groups
of giants, but also the areas where they once lived. As we see, they most probably settled in the areas around the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
42
Now, why would this matter? Most of us know what
Sodom
was famous for: immorality, indecency, and unbridled sex - especially homosexuality and/or
sodomy
. It’s obvious, at first, that the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were
against
these practices; and fought the immorality of these giants. But, as we’ll soon see, immorality began to overtake them, over time; with the influences of those with angelic blood slowly beginning to take hold. Interestingly enough, we also notice, here, that there were descendants of Cain in these areas, as well:
And others say that Cain was from the superior realm of absolute power (i.e. the Serpent), and confess that Esau, Korah, the
Sodomites
, and all such persons are of
the same people
(or nation) as themselves…

“Other” Gnostic Teachings According to St. Irenaeus
1.31.1

3
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying… Even as
Sodom
and
Gomorrha
, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after
strange flesh
… but what they know naturally, as brute
beasts
, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of
Cain
…
- Jude
1:4-11 (KJV)
The word for strange
, in the above, comes from the Greek word heteros
; a word which could mean either “different” or “other.” So, we can see the word strange
, here, could also be describing another
type of flesh. What type of flesh, may we conclude, was being sought after
by the people, here? These verses tell us that the men of Sodom and Gomorrah, not only, went after other men in a homosexual fashion, but they also went after those of a different
flesh - those with mixed, angelic blood!
The infamous cities of Sodom and Gomorrah eventually became strongholds of the ancient Rephaim
and other giants; and their eventual destruction - by God - seemed to be a sign that they were sinning against the human race, through these genetic admixtures and the adoption of these corrupt, giant “ways.”
It was also interesting to see that Cain
was also mentioned, in these above verses! Why? Maybe some of his descendants - and their “ways”
- will become a part of this increase in moral depravity. Returning to these above verses of Genesis, we also see that two final
groups were mentioned:
And they returned, and… smote all the country of the
Amalekites
, and also the
Amorites
…
- Gen
. 14:7 (KJV)
This last verse seems very important: it seems to set the stage for a couple more groups, here, to come on the scene - those of which would probably begin to parallel
, or even accentuate
, these depravities of the post-flood, angelic giants.
The Amorites
, as we recall, was one group of these giant individuals. We now see that they were one of the last strongholds of the post-flood Anakim - led by the Mighty Men Og
and Sihon
. Yet, eventually, they, also, would be wiped out. Even though the days of the giants seemed numbered, the sons of Cain and the Serpent seemed to have survived much
longer
.
We’ve heard about the Amalekites
before the flood, and that they were those who, in some way, had some blood of the Serpent
. What about the above verse? Were these Amalekites
of the same group? What about the Cainites
who were allowed to survive the flood? What contributions could these Cainites and Amalekites have on our world to come, beyond
the giants?
Final Blow to the Post-Flood World
We understood that climate changes drastically reduced
the chances for those Anakim and Refaim to survive in this post-flood; not for very long. And, interestingly enough, ancient sources have even stated that the post-flood Anakim and Refaim would not really pose a huge problem to those in the future - the Amalekites
would:
…(the) groups in the mixed multitude that mixed with Yisrael (Israel) caused the destruction of the temple… Nevertheless, the redemption of Yisrael does not depend on the destruction of the Refaim, but
on the destruction of Amalek
, that is, until he who was referred to in the oath is destroyed, as it is written: “Because Yah has sworn by His throne that Hashem will have war with
Amalek
”…
The plot thickens. We know a little about these Amalekites - those with blood of the Serpent himself. We also know that the Cainites were, ultimately, the sons of the Serpent, as well (through Cain). And, we also might be able to surmise that the Serpent could have spread his seed, in one way or another, to other people, beyond Eve - even some of those famous Cainites who had survived the flood (such as Naamah
, Ham
, etc.). So, beyond these post-flood giants, other
groups of individuals, having mixed blood - those with direct blood of the Serpent
- would began to “take over the reins” of depravity and influence upon our world. These would, eventually, become the major
problem to all who tried to live a Godly life, from then on. Let’s take a look at them
.
The Kenites
In the verses below, we see that God tells Abram (or Abraham) - the would-be father of Israel (and other people) - that his seed will inherit the land currently occupied by certain
other
people… firstly noted the
Kenites
.
45
Gen.
15:
18
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given
this land
, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19
The
Kenites
(i.e. Qeyniy), and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites…
The word Kenite
simply stands for a “son of Cain,” as we’ll see! The Hebrew Qeyniy
(above) originates in the word Qayin
- a word synonymous with the Cain
of early Genesis! So, if these post-flood Kenites
were remnants of the antediluvian Cainites
, that gives us further evidence they
survived the flood, as well. And, as we’ll soon see, it seems they may have also considered themselves
the descendants of this famous patriarch, as well!
Since the
Kenites
were therefore known to the Israelites both as nomads and city dwellers, and generally
hostile
, their legendary ancestor
Cain
could figure in myth as the first murderer, the first nomad, and the first city builder
.
(Graves and Patai, 1964, p. 96)
46
So, a lot like the
Cainites
of the pre-flood era, the post-flood
Kenites
also seemed to have assumed many of these
same
occupations as their antediluvian predecessors. The word
Kenite
could also originate in the Hebrew word
Qeyniy
. The use of this word (in Judg. 1:16, I Sam. 30:29, etc.) alludes that these post-flood Kenites were also “
smiths
” - often known as
wandering
smiths.
47
We know that Cain once wandered about; and many of his descendants were often
blacksmiths
.
The Easton’s Bible Dictionary
has this to say about the Kenites
:
They were wandering smiths, “the gypsies and traveling tinkers of the old Oriental world. They formed an important guild in an age when the art of metallurgy was confined
to a few
” (Sayce's Races, etc.)
.
-
The Easton’s Bible Dictionary
Kenites
48
Also, the word
Cain
could also come from a Hebrew word, meaning
spear
:
49
And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear (
Qayin
) weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight…
- II Sam
. 21:16 (KJV)
Interestingly enough, we know that the antediluvian Cainites were among the first to forge
spears
, and weapons of war.
50
Cain, also, might have been the first to use some sort of
sharp instrument
to commit his murder. Could the post-flood
Kenites
have knowledge of the
same
? It seems as if they parallel.
So, although the original Hebrew word for
Kenite
could mean both “spear” and “smith,” it also has one more meaning. A couple of Hebrew words translated into the English
Kenite
or
Cain
are the words
Qayin
and
Qanah
- both used in the same, general sense: as a
possession
.
51
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain (i.e. Qayin), and said, I have
gotten
(i.e.
Qanah
) a man from the LORD
.
- Gen
. 4:1 (KJV)
And, as we also
recall, Cain often wanted to possess
material things around him. And, at the time of Cain’s sacrifice, he was punished for hoarding the best
fruits for himself. He cared about material things around him, rather than sacrificing anything to God. A lot of what he possessed on earth, over time, he would eventually lose
. The Kenites seemed to have had this same
curse inflicted upon them, as well! No matter what they possessed, it never seemed enough to so many of them; or they ended up losing
a lot of it.
The following account gives us an example of how the post-flood Kenites
would lose most
of what they once had; and were taken over by other
groups of people who grew much stronger than them
:
Num.
24:
21
And he looked on the
Kenites
(i.e. Qeyniy), and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock
.
22
Nevertheless the
Kenite
(i.e.
Qayin
) shall be
wasted
, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive
.
These Kenites probably lived the same as their ancient Cainite counterparts - which helped, as a whole, to bring them down
, to the same states of misery
and despair
. You live certain “ways” (against God), and God will make sure that things often don’t work out for you, overall… in the end
.
These Kenites, as with the giants, would also have
other
names in the post-flood world: the
Midianites
(in Gen. 37:38, Num. 31:2, Judg. 1:16, etc.); the
Rechabites
(in I Chr. 2:55), etc..
52
So, according to all of this scriptural evidence, the Cainites, also, must have survived the flood... as the Kenites
.
The Amalekites
There are five races
of mixed multitude
. These are the Nefilim (fallen), the Giborim (mighty), the Anakim (giants), the Refaim (shades) and the
Amalekim
(a.k.a. Amalekites)
.
Along with the giants, along with these Kenites, we have evidence that another group of antediluvian people survived - more of those with blood of the Serpent. One meaning of the name
Amalek
stands for, “a people that licks up.”
54
Just what would the Amalekites “lick up,” here? Probably, they would
consume
(or “lick up”) much of the wealth and resources around them, in the areas of which they lived (a lot like the giants). We also know the antediluvian Cainites exploited their environment, as well. Now, we see the post-flood giants, the Kenites, and other of these sons of the Serpent would do much of the same… and suffer the consequences
.
Were These Amalekites Really Sons of Esau?
Many scholars now scoff at the idea that these post-flood Amalekites were actually sons of the Serpent - mainly because of an anomaly
in the Bible. There was
a group of people descended from an individual named Amalek
… who was a grandson of Esau (a descendant of Abraham); and they were also
called the Amalekites. Well, which one was which? Were they the same?
These
Amalekites, interestingly enough, were first mentioned in Genesis 36:13 (in the year, approximately, 1800 B.C.)… which was a full 400
years after
the flood! Yet, we have verses (such as in Gen. 14:1) which mention an Amalekite
group of individuals - a full 120
years before
this grandson of Esau would have ever been born:
Gen.
14:
1
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
2
That these made war…
5
…Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him… smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim
,
7
And they returned, and… smote all the country
of the Amalekites
, and also the Amorites…
The time of this was practically in the era of Abraham
- Esau’s grandfather! So, if this is true, then where did this
above group of Amalekites come from? Yes, there seems to be two
groups of them, out there. And, if this
above group was the remnant of those pre-flood Amalekites, then they, obviously, must have been of an older
nation. Interestingly enough, we do
have Biblical evidence of a group of Amalekites
, coming from a very ancient
origin: the beginning of the world
!
And when he looked on Amalek (Amaleq), he took up his parable, and said, Amalek (i.e. Amaleq)
was the first of the nations
; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever
.
- Num
. 24:20 (KJV
)
It’s interesting to find out why
the Biblical character (Balaam) said such a thing, here. Truly the grandson of Esau wasn’t there since the beginning. We know who were, though. Apparently, someone already
knew how old this group of Amalekites was. And, if these Amalekites indeed were seeds of the Serpent (in one way or another), then they would have been able to be among the first
of the worldly nations out there! It all makes sense.
As with before the antediluvian world, these post-flood Amalekites seemed to have kept close ties with the post-flood Kenites - probably because they both
were of the same kin!
I Sam.
15:
5
And Saul came to a city of
Amalek
(i.e. Amaleq), and laid wait in the valley
.
6
And Saul said unto the
Kenites
(i.e. Qeyniy), Go, depart, get you down from among the
Amalekites
(i.e. Amaleq), lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the
Kenites
(i.e. Qeyniy) departed from among the
Amalekites
.
Interestingly, another meaning of the word
Amalek
(or
Amalekite
), in its original Hebrew, is
Amaleq
- a “dweller in a valley.”
55
Interesting: we already know that the
Cainites
dwelled in a
valley
, just before the flood (while they were trying to seduce the Sethites, up in a mountain). Just as most of the Anakim and Refaim did, did most of the post-flood
Kenites
and
Amalekites
fall to the same ways - as they did before the flood?
The Time Ripe for Destruction
The question of just who
were the Kenites and Amalekites - and what they, over time
, would manifest themselves into - would go on to be the most important tool towards our understanding of how the pre-flood world relates to our own
… and understanding some things about Mystery Babylon
! We know a bit about the Kenites (because we can relate them to the “ways” of their patriarch Cain), but we don’t know too much about the Amalekites, however; until we dig further.
First off, we see that
:
…the redemption of Yisrael (i.e. Israel) does not depend on the destruction of the Refaim, but
on the destruction of Amalek
...
Interesting: it seems that these ancient Israelites, and other people in the land, wanted this particular group of ancient people to be controlled - if not destroyed
(as one could already figure). In the following verses, we’ll also see that the post-flood Amalekites lived in somewhat close proximity to the lands the Israelites would eventually end up living in - the “land of milk and honey” (i.e. Israel):
Num.
13:
27
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it
.
29
The
Amalekites
(i.e. Amaleq) dwell in the land of the south…
After the children of Israel were liberated from their 400-year bout with Egyptian slavery, they were directed to overtake
the lands of which God promised Abraham. We already know that giants
and other people (such as the Kenites and Amalekites) lived in these lands; and they wouldn’t go without a fight! One day, these Israelites met up with the Amalekites, and promptly decided to wage war with them. These next set of verses, interestingly enough, may also be able to give us some interesting information about these post-flood Amalekites:
Ex.
17:
8
Then came Amalek (i.e. Amaleq), and fought with Israel in Rephidim
.
9
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand
.
10
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill
.
11
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed
.
12
But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun
.
13
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword
.
14
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse
it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put
out the remembrance of Amalek
from under heaven
.
15
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will
have war
with Amalek
from generation to generation
.
Here, we see that the Amalekites weren’t entirely
wiped out, in these early days. God also made it known how much He does not like
Amalek
: it seems that He will be at war
with the descendants of Amalek
, from generation to generation
. They just won’t go away! Why them? What’s their significance to our whole story? Well, if they were only descendants of Esau it all wouldn’t really matter. But, in regards to the Genesis 3:15 Prophecy
, it makes a lot more sense. This group now seems to epitomize
those who act evil
or unrighteous
- those who act as if they came from the Serpent himself. Now, we know that they probably did
!
And, if they truly
were of the Serpent, then everything is so much more understandable, now:
Deut.
25:
16
For all that do such things, and all that do
unrighteously
, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God
.
17
Remember what
Amalek
(Amaleq) did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
18
How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he
feared not God
.
19
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt
blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven
; thou shalt not forget it
.
It seems the enmity
between the Adamite Hebrews (i.e. the promised seed of Adam) and the Amalekites (i.e. the seeds of the Serpent
) would continue on, and on, and on
. And, we know why
: these were the two seed lines
, prophesied in Genesis 3:15! Why would God seem to retain such a vendetta
against this particular group of people, if they were only
the offspring of Esau’s grandson? Makes no sense. Obviously, there’s something deeper to this all! As we recall, from the previously mentioned book of Zohar
:
These are all mixed among Yisrael (i.e. Israel), but none of them is cursed as
Amalek
, who is
the evil Serpent
, a
Strange
El…
If anything, we now have scriptural proof of descendants - direct
descendants - of the Serpent
who had gone on, to survive the flood! No wonder why God was so against them! No wonder the Amalekites and others who lived and thoughts like them possessed so much dissension, so much anger, and so much hard-pressed wrath against the God who already had to destroy their ancestors once.
All this leads us to: what even became
of these Kenites and Amalekites… once they began to be put on the “hit list” of so many people of their day? What did they manifest themselves off as, over the years? And, what influences
did their ancient Serpent “ways” have on their world at hand, since the flood? Lastly, just who might these people be, in front of us, today
? And, how could we be able to recognize just “who’s who” - if we even can
?
Also, what might we be able to do with all of this information, as a whole
? And, how could we use all of this knowledge to allow us a tool
against the enemy… a tool of which, in the end, might help us to enrich our
own lives, each and every day?
