Giants in the Land

Shortly after posting the, “Days of Noah” blog post, I was challenged on the topic of fallen angels and their illegitimate activity with humans. Specifically the concern was the assertion that the Nephilim were the offspring of angels or divine beings having sexual relations with humans. In the post I mentioned 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6; Numbers 13:30-33 and Genesis 6:1-4. These were cited as examples of passages that make reference to the activity of these fallen beings as well as the resulting consequences and outcomes. Perhaps now would be a good time to look at these passages as well as any supporting texts in more detail.

Starting with Numbers 13:30-33 which reads:

“But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

The backstory to this passage, is the story of the twelve spies sent by Moses to check out the land of Canaan. It is found in Numbers 13:17-29 and reads as follows:

“Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, “Go up into the Negeb and go up into the hill country, and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo-hamath. They went up into the Negeb and came to Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) And they came to the Valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they also brought some pomegranates and figs. That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster that the people of Israel cut down from there.

At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land. And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.””

These passages give rise to several questions and comments with respect to the topic of the Nephilim?:

1. All twelve spies agreed the land was good, produced abundant food and crops. It was a land flowing with milk and honey. So what was the “bad” report?

2. Verse 22 clearly states, “the descendants of Anak, were there.” This is stated as a matter of fact and is noted even before any reports were given. Later in verse 33 these descendants of Anak are mentioned again as part of the negative report, “there we saw the Nephilim the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim.” These are terms and tribes that seem to be already known about. They are not made up words to describe very tall people. So, who was Anak?

3. Who were the Anakim?

With respect to the first question about the “bad report,” I am referencing the following article “What did the spies do wrong?” https://images.shulcloud.com/618/uploads/PDFs/Divrei_Torah/170617-What-did-the-spies-do-wrong-Shlach-Lecha.pdf

1. “It’s not that they lied, rather their report was given with the intent to scare and demoralized the people.

‘39 years later, Moses himself said the same to their children, as they were about to enter the Promised Land:

You will be coming to conquer nations that are greater and more powerful than you, with great cities, fortified to the skies. They are a great nation, as tall as giants… [Deut. 9:1-2]”

2. “They doubted God’s power. Their very mission implied doubt about the value of God’s gift and God's ability to deliver it. God said "Send for yourself," meaning "I am not commanding you, but if you wish, you may send." Indeed, the people had come to Moses asking for that. [Deut. 1:22]

-Talmud: God told Moses, "I told them that the land is good. By their lives! Now I will give them the opportunity to fall into error through the words of the spies, so that they will not inherit it.” [Sotah 34b, Midrash Tanchuma, Shlach 5]

-But spying for military preparations is OK. The Torah does not tell us to rely on miracles. It's the spies’ presentation that was not OK. [Ramban]”

3. Their lie was the twisting of facts and how they presented their opinion as a part of those facts. “…They did not report (or did not try to find out) what the inhabitants thought of them. Forty years later, Rahav in Jericho tells the spies sent by Joshua that the inhabitants feared the Jews:

I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that a great fear of you has fallen upon us. All the inhabitants of the land faint because of you... As soon as we heard [of the miracles God performed for you] our hearts melted, no courage remained in any man, because of you. [Joshua 2:9-11].

-And the Jews themselves knew that. Earlier, in their Song at the Sea, they had said:

The people of Canaan will melt away. Terror and dread will fall on them. [Ex. 15:15-16]

-The spies made unwarranted assumptions. They said: “In our eyes, we seemed like grasshoppers, and so were we in their eyes.” In Talmud, Rabbi Mesharsheya asks:

The spies were liars. As regards “In our eyes, we seemed like grasshoppers,” very well; but how could they know that “so were we in their eyes”? [Sotah 35a]

How did the spies know how the inhabitants saw the Jews?

Now to address questions #2 & 3 concerning Anak and Anakim. This page from Bible Hub.com is all about the Anakim complete with definitions descriptions and bible references: https://biblehub.com/topical/a/anakim.htm

In addition, https://jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/1453-anakim, gives a description as well as references to both Rabbinical and Hellenistic Literature: “According to rabbinical tradition (Gen. R. xxvi.), the Anakim are of the same Titanic race as the Rephaim, Nefilim, Gibborim, Zamzummim, and Emim.” Often these terms and descriptions are used in close relationship to each other or sometimes even interchangeably.

The link: https://www.compellingtruth.org/Rephaim.html, provides a fairly full description of the Rephaim and where it is believed they came from. Quoting from this article:

“...The Rephaim were similar to the Anakim (Deuteronomy 2:20–21). The Rephaim are mentioned again in Exodus when the Israelites were trying to enter the Promised Land. The Rephaim were living in Canaan, and the Israelites were terrified of them—the Israelites didn't want to go into the Promised Land because it was inhabited with "giants" (Numbers 13:33), the sons of Anak. The spies came back to Israel and told the people that "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them" (Numbers 13:32–33). The Promised Land, though beautiful (Numbers 13:27) was inhabited with giants—men so big that the Israelites felt like grasshoppers next to them. The Rephaim were of the same type.

Can this be taken literally? Who are the Nephilim? The Bible says that Og, king of Bashan (one of the last Rephaim) had a bed that was thirteen feet long (Deuteronomy 3:11). Was this just the grandiosity of a king, or did Og really need a bed that large? We know the ancient Jews believed them to be giants because the Greek word titanes, from which English derives the word titan, is used to translate the Hebrew word rephaim. Ancient folklore from many cultures features stories of giants. And there is biblical basis for their existence. The Nephilim (the word used synonymously with the Anakites) were the offspring of fallen angels and women (Genesis 6:1–4). How this is biologically possible we don't know, but the story is presented literally. The phrase used in the passage is "sons of God" who took "daughters of man" as their wives and bore children through them. The phrase "sons of God" is used exclusively elsewhere in Scripture to describe angelic beings.”

Looking now at 2 Peter 2:4 it says: “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell[a] and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment.” Keeping this passage in mind, lets look at Jude 1:6 which says: “And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—” Both these passages refer to angels bound in gloomy darkness for their sin. These passages also beg the question, what was their sin(s)?

I think in this instance the passage from Jude helps make the reference in Peter much more clear. Looking at the passage in Jude a bit more carefully, verse 6 does not end as a complete sentence or thought but rather it ends with a dash and continues on into verse 7. Thus the thought conveyed here (in speaking of those angles reads, “...left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire...” In other words he is comparing the activity of those angles to the immorality and depravity that occurred in Sodom and Gomorrah.

In speaking of this verse, https://dailyverse.knowing-jesus.com/jude-1-6, I found this supporting quote:

“The angels in this verse, "who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode," is speaking of those who rebelled with Satan and also sinned in Genesis 6, "when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them." Although all angels who chose to rebel with Satan lost their position in the holy, heavenly angelic realm... this group also abandoned their angelic form by taking on a human form in order to have sex with human women, which resulted in a hybrid offspring, described in Genesis as giants or Nephilim. However, the message to us from Jude is a warning to all who have a common faith with the apostle, against falling into apostasy.”

In my original post I made reference to several extra-Biblical texts including the book of Enoch. The passages noted referenced in 2 Peter and Jude, are both quotes from Enoch. There are no other scriptural references to these angels being committed to chains and bound in gloomy darkness… when these two writers wrote, they were quoting from a know source. They would have presumed those to whom they were writing would also have known and understood the reference.

Finally, I want to include excerpts from Catholic scholar, Dr Taylor Marshall. In an article titled, “Angels having Relations with Humans within Jude and 2 Peter and 1 Enoch” he writes:

“Genesis 6 has a confusing reference to “when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them” and how this occurrence led to Yahweh flooding the earth. What does this mean?

Sometime around the 200s BC a Jewish document called “Book of Enoch” or 1 Enoch was produced. It gives all the details on how angelic beings copulated with human women and created a cosmic mess before the Flood. And here’s the interesting problem we have:

Saint Jude (Jude 1:14-15) directly quotes this non-biblical document known as “Book of Enoch” or 1 Enoch:

Jude 14–15

It was also about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying:“Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his saints to execute judgment on all and to convict everyone of all the deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

Compare with:

1 Enoch 1:9 Behold, he comes with ten thousand saints to execute judgment upon all, and he will destroy all the ungodly and convict all flesh of all the deeds of their ungodliness that they have ungodly committed in an ungodly way, and of all the arrogant and hard words which sinners have spoken against him.

It’s not only this direct quotation of 1 Enoch by Jude, but Jude (and 2 Peter) allude to the fantastical events of 1 Enoch, namely the sexual encounters of fallen angels with human women, which gives birth to the nephilim or “giants.” The birth of the giants, according to 1 Enoch, is the reason for the Noah’s Flood.

And this belief is also found in the non-canonical book of Wisdom:

“And from the beginning also when the proud giants (γιγάντων) perished, the hope of the world fleeing to a vessel, which was governed by thy hand, left to the world seed of generation.” (Wisdom 14:6)

The author of Wisdom clearly associates the flood to a divine genocide of the race of the giants (γιγάντων) to leave the world a “seed of generation.” (Saint Paul quotes from Wisdom about 7 times – so Saint Paul also likely hold this belief.)

In 1 Enoch, Yahweh sends 200 angels to guide and instruct humanity. These 200 angels are called “Irin” in Aramaic and “Egregoroi” in Greek. Both words mean “Watchers.” These Watchers corrupt humanity by teaching them evil arts such as cosmetology (sorry ladies), sorcery, astrology, and the arts of war.

These angels also seduce human women and copulate with them. The women give birth to nephilim or giants. God causes these giants to fight and die. Then the souls of the giants turn into demons that haunt and tempt humans for the rest of time.

So Yahweh binds these 200 evil angelic Watchers into “Tartarus.”

What is Tartarus? In the Homer’s Iliad, Zeus teaches that Tartarus is “as far beneath Hades as heaven is above earth.” Tartarus is the deepest part of the underworld, far below Hades.

It’s noteworthy that the term “tartarus” is used by Enoch and 2 Peter. This signals the blending of Hebrew history with Greek mythology since Greek myth depict Zeus (after 10 years of battle or titanomachy) sending the older primordial deities called Titans into the deep dungeon abyss of “tartarus.”

Notably 2 Peter explicitly uses Enoch’s word “Tartarus” for the condemnation of fallen “angels.” Jude and 2 Peter use almost the same words, but 2 Peter uses “Tartarus”:

Jude 6 - “And the angels who did not keep their own position, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deepest darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

Compare with 2 Peter 2:4a: “For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into Tartaros and committed them to chains of deepest darkness to be kept until the judgment;”

Compare this with what it says in 1 Enoch 7:2: “And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamored of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.” (1 Enoch 7:2)

The resulting children are called nephilim in Hebrew or gigantes (giants) in Latin and Greek. In 1 Enoch, the historical Enoch goes to God and seeks to make intercession for the forgiveness of the giants. God refuses and the giants are condemned. This part of the story is referred to in Sirach:

“He was not propitiated for the ancient giants who revolted in their might.” (Sirach 16:7)

The Dead Sea Scrolls contain 10 copies (!) of the Book of Giants – a work that describes in detail the conception of giants in Genesis 6 from the union of women and angelic watchers. The giants were warriors and cannibals. This theology was an important part of the theology of Second Temple Judaism.”

I just want to make it clear as I close; the book of Enoch is not part of the scripture nor do I think it needs to be. I see it as a part of a body of literature containing stories from the past that perhaps were passed down orally before being written out sometime during the second temple period. These were the accounts of history which most of the Jewish historians, scholars, and religious people of the day were aware of. These stories and accounts were known broadly enough that references to them were often made without any need for further explanation.

It is not necessary to accept the ideas here presented, I have only put this together to facilitate further understanding of some of the things I wrote in my earlier essay.

As in the Days of Noah (Revisited) — Part 1

Editor’s Note: This post has been substantially revised and expanded to reflect further study and clarity. It now serves as Part 1 of a two-part exploration of Jesus’ reference to “the days of Noah.” The original theme remains, but the argument has been sharpened and more carefully developed.
______________________________

 

Introduction: A Common Phrase, a Serious Question:

Lately, when people talk about current events and the times we are living in, I often hear the phrase “the days of Noah.” This expression is usually meant to describe troubling or dangerous times and often carries an apocalyptic tone. The phrase comes from Jesus and was spoken in response to a question from His disciples.

But does this comparison really fit what we see today? Are we truly living in “the days of Noah”?

Jesus’ Original Context:

The phrase comes from a conversation between Jesus and His disciples near the end of His ministry. As recorded in Matthew’s Gospel:

“Jesus left the temple and was walking away when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to its buildings.

‘Do you see all these things?’ He asked. ‘Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.’

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?’” (Matthew 24:1–3, NASB)

What Did Jesus Mean by “the Days of Noah”?

Jesus’ response to this question fills most of Matthew 24 and is well worth reading carefully. Within this teaching, He makes a direct comparison to the time of Noah:

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:36–39, NASB)

Given the seriousness of this warning—both then and now—it is worth paying close attention to what Jesus meant by “the days of Noah.” What exactly was happening before Noah entered the ark? Jesus refers to a time just before a global catastrophe, one that destroyed nearly all life on the earth. He then says that conditions would be similar just before “the end of the age.”

Please note: In this discussion, we will not attempt to define exactly what Jesus meant by “the end of the age,” nor whether it refers to a past or future event.

Jesus used a well-known historical event to help His disciples understand what was coming. It is reasonable to assume that they understood the reference and its meaning. However, it is far less certain that we, today, fully understand what Jesus meant—or what He intended us to learn—from this comparison.

Misunderstanding the Comparison:

In the past, when I heard this passage discussed, the focus was usually on the words “eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage.” As a young person, I was taught that this referred mainly to people giving themselves over to pleasure and sinful living. This view is reflected in older commentaries, which explain the passage as a warning against excess, indulgence, and moral corruption.

There is no question that the Bible describes Noah’s generation as deeply sinful. It is easy to draw parallels between their moral condition and much of what we see today. However, this explanation alone raises an important question: How is eating, drinking, and marrying anything other than normal human behaviour? These activities have always been part of everyday life.

Jesus also said something else that deserves attention:

“They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.”

This raises an obvious question:

Could they have known what was coming—and if so, why didn’t they?

Awareness Ignored:

Scripture tells us that Noah spent many decades building the ark, an enormous and very visible project. He is also described as a righteous man who warned others and called them to repentance. Other ancient Jewish writings suggest that Noah actively tried to alert the people to the coming judgment. Despite this, the people remained unprepared.

They had time. They had warnings. They had evidence all around them. Yet when the flood came, it caught them completely by surprise.

For this reason, I do not believe Jesus was criticizing ordinary activities like eating or marrying. Instead, He was pointing out how completely unaware the people were of what was happening around them. Life seemed normal right up until the end. They ignored the warnings, dismissed the signs, and continued as if nothing would ever change.

Moral Corruption Is Not the Whole Story:

When discussing the days of Noah, attention is often drawn to the extreme wickedness of humanity at that time. Scripture says that “every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time” (Genesis 6:5). There is little doubt that this description can feel uncomfortably familiar today. However, this condition of the human heart is not unique to Noah’s generation. Throughout history, human beings have repeatedly shown the same tendency toward corruption. Jeremiah reminds us of this when he writes, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9).

Because of this, general human sinfulness alone cannot fully explain why Noah’s generation stands apart. While moral corruption is certainly part of the picture, it is only one factor among several that must be considered when studying the days of Noah.

Corruption Beyond Humanity: “All Flesh” in Genesis 6:

Before going further with this portion of this essay, I think it is important to look more closely at the phrase “all flesh” in Genesis 6. This particular detail deserves careful attention. It appears more than once in the flood account and is central to understanding why the judgment of the flood was so severe. It may have more significant ramifications for us these days than we realise.

Genesis 6:12 says, “God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.” A few verses later, God tells Noah, “I am about to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them” (Genesis 6:13). Later still, God explains that the flood will destroy “all flesh in which is the breath of life” (Genesis 6:17).

At first glance, “all flesh” might seem to refer simply to humanity. However, the text consistently includes animals, birds, and creeping things alongside human beings. This is unusual. In most biblical judgments, God deals specifically with human sin. Here, the corruption appears to have spread beyond human society and into the created order itself.

The language suggests more than widespread bad behaviour. It points to a breakdown in the proper boundaries of creation. Something had gone wrong at a fundamental level. Life on the earth was no longer functioning as God had intended it to function.

This helps explain why the flood was not limited to human beings alone. If corruption had affected all flesh, then the remedy would also have to be comprehensive. The flood was not merely punishment—it was a kind of reset, preserving only what God declared “blameless” through Noah and those with him in the ark.

Importantly, Genesis makes a distinction. While all flesh was corrupted, Noah is described as “righteous” and “blameless in his generation” (Genesis 6:9). This contrast shows that God was not acting blindly or unjustly. Judgment came only after corruption had become total, and preservation was granted where faithfulness still existed.

If something had gone wrong at the level of creation itself—corrupting not just human society but all flesh—then the strange and often overlooked account of the Nephilim in Genesis 6 demands closer attention.

A Long Period of Warning:

In order to better understand what Jesus meant by “the days of Noah,” I think that we need to move beyond a narrow, distant view of the flood as simply a single moment in history. Instead, we should look at it within a much broader context—both in terms of time and what was happening during that time.

Genesis 7:6 tells us that Noah was 600 years old when he entered the ark and the flood began. That detail is important because 600 years represents an enormous span of time. Many people read the phrase “the days of Noah” without fully grasping how much could happen over such a long period.

To put this in perspective, if we looked back 600 years from today, we would be looking at the early 1400s. Think of how many major events, cultural shifts, wars, discoveries, and changes in human behaviour have taken place since then. A single phrase like “during that time” would hardly describe everything that occurred. In the same way, “the days of Noah” should not be understood as referring to only a short or simple period of time.

Although the Bible records real history and refers to specific historical events, it does not claim to be a complete history of everything that happened. The brief account found in Genesis 6:8 through 7:16 gives us a snapshot—not a full record—of the events leading up to the flood. It provides what we need to understand God’s actions and purposes, but not every detail of life during that long period.

There are also ancient writings outside the Bible that discuss this era. While these texts are not Scripture and must be treated carefully, they can help us understand how people in the ancient world viewed the flood and the events surrounding it. It is reasonable to believe that Jesus’ disciples were more familiar with these traditions than most people are today and likely had a broader understanding of what led up to this great catastrophe.

Warning Ignored Despite Clear Signs:

Another important point is that the coming disaster was not a secret—yet almost everyone was caught by surprise.

Genesis 6:3 is often understood as a warning that humanity had 120 years before judgment would come. This statement reflects God’s patience as well as His unwillingness to tolerate evil forever. Many biblical scholars interpret this verse as a countdown to the flood, a period of time given for repentance.

This idea is also reflected in the Book of Jasher, an ancient non-biblical text mentioned in Scripture (Joshua 10:13; 2 Samuel 1:18). According to Jasher 5:6, Noah was 480 years old when God spoke to him and to Methuselah about the coming destruction if humanity did not turn from its wicked ways. The passage describes repeated warnings given over many years:

“God said unto Noah and Methuselah, saying, Speak ye, and proclaim to the sons of men… Return from your evil ways…
Behold I give you a period of one hundred and twenty years…
And Noah and Methuselah spoke all the words of the Lord to the sons of men, day after day…
But the sons of men would not listen, nor incline their ears to their words.”

Whether one accepts this account in full or not, it reflects a consistent theme also found in Scripture: the people of Noah’s day were warned repeatedly and given ample time to change.

Yet despite decades of warnings, visible signs, and the testimony of a righteous man, the people remained unmoved. When judgment finally came, it caught them unprepared—not because they lacked opportunity, but because they refused to pay attention.

A Pattern Jesus Expected His Listeners to Recognize:

However one looks at it, the outcome was the same. Despite a long period of grace and repeated warnings—despite clear calls to repentance—and despite many troubling events happening all around them, the world was still caught off guard when the floodwaters came.

This is striking when compared with the warning that Jesus tied to His Noah reference. Jesus said that no one knows the day or the hour of His coming—yet He also said it would happen within that generation.

In Noah’s time, the flood came with a known time frame. According to Genesis, humanity was given many years of warning. Even so, knowing that judgment was coming—and roughly when—made no difference. The people did not change.

Ancient writings such as the Book of Jasher describe, in dramatic terms, this refusal to respond. While Jasher is not Scripture and must be read carefully, it reflects a tradition that emphasizes just how clear the warnings were. Jasher 6:11–12 describes terrifying natural signs meant to awaken the people:

“And on that day, the Lord caused the whole earth to shake, and the sun darkened, and the foundations of the world raged… and God did this mighty act, in order to terrify the sons of men, that there might be no more evil upon earth.

And still the sons of men would not return from their evil ways… and did not even direct their hearts to all this.”

Whether one accepts this description as literal or symbolic, the message is consistent with Scripture:

- the people ignored warning after warning.

- Even extraordinary signs failed to move them.

- Their attention remained fixed on everyday life.

- Judgment drew closer.

The Nephilim and the Corruption of Creation:

The Genesis account—and Jesus’ reference to it—points to something more serious than ordinary human wrongdoing. Something was happening that led God to make an unprecedented declaration: “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them” (Genesis 6:7). This judgment went beyond humanity alone and extended to all living creatures.

Genesis 6:12 further explains the reason: “God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.” The language here suggests a corruption that had spread beyond individual choices and personal sin. It had become systemic and universal, affecting all flesh. This level of corruption sets Noah’s generation apart and signals that more was at work than the normal moral failings common to human history.

The Factor That Cannot Be Ignored

Yet there is another critical factor that should not be overlooked.

In addition to general moral corruption and human violence, a very specific and dangerous form of evil was spreading throughout the world. This corruption threatened not just society, but all flesh. This brings us to the subject of the Nephilim and their appearance in human history.

Too often, this aspect of the flood narrative is skipped over, misunderstood, or dismissed entirely. However, several biblical passages make either direct or indirect reference to the Nephilim and to the unusual conditions surrounding their emergence. These passages suggest that something deeply unnatural was taking place—something that went beyond ordinary human sin and played a role in bringing about the flood.

Understanding this background is essential if we want to grasp the full meaning of “the days of Noah” as Jesus used the phrase.

Shared Knowledge in the Ancient World

Several biblical passages point to unusual events connected to the days of Noah, even though they do not explain those events in full detail. Passages such as 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6, Numbers 13:30–33, and Genesis 6:1–4 seem to refer to something already known by their original audience.

At this point, an everyday example may help. If someone today mentions “9/11,” they usually do not need to explain the details. Most people already understand what happened and why it matters. In a similar way, these biblical writers appear to assume that their readers already knew what events were being referenced.

This brings us back to the Nephilim and their role in the days of Noah—especially in Genesis 6:1–4. This passage speaks of the “sons of God,” who took human women as wives and produced offspring called Nephilim. Many Jewish interpreters before and during the time of Jesus understood the “sons of God” to be fallen heavenly beings. In later Jewish writings, such as the book of Enoch, these beings are called “Watchers.” (This term [Watchers] can also be found in Daniel 4:13, 17, and 23.)

According to this understanding, certain of these Watchers crossed a forbidden boundary. Their actions were not only immoral but destructive. The resulting corruption affected humanity at a fundamental level and threatened the future of creation itself. In addition to this, these fallen beings were believed to have taught humans forbidden knowledge—methods of violence, deception, and self-destruction.

While these extra-biblical writings are not Scripture, they help explain how many people in Jesus’ day understood Genesis 6. The disciples would not have encountered these ideas as strange or new.

Conclusion

In the end, it was not ignorance caused by lack of opportunity—it was blindness caused by inattention. And that, I believe, is the true warning contained in Jesus’ reference to “the days of Noah.”

As in the Days of Noah – Part 2

Open Letter to Canadian Christian Church Leaders

Editor’s note (2026):

This open letter was written in response to a specific social, cultural and political time period. It is preserved here as part of the journey, not as a persistent and ongoing position. Readers may find fuller theological context for these concerns developed more carefully in later posts focused on covenant, Scripture, and church unity.
______________________________________ 

Dear Canadian Christian Church Leaders,

As part of the preparation for writing this letter, I first collected my thoughts, made numerous notes, studied and consulted many sources. I pondered long and hard about how to express, as clearly as I possibly could, exactly what I am struggling with. It is very difficult for me to look at this past fifteen plus months without feeling very disappointed and somewhat annoyed with the church in Canada. In my opinion the Canadian church largely failed to provide the leadership and direction to the larger Christian community. As I write this, I humbly acknowledge I might be totally wrong in both my thinking and speaking on these subjects and I am open to hear other thoughts and further clarification.

From March 2020, we all have been subjected to conditions unlike anything we have ever seen before. Since we all lived through these unusual circumstances there is no need to repeat the history of events here. However, based on my own prior experience and education, I was very suspicious of what government authorities and the media were promoting as factual on a 24/7 basis. Somewhat reluctantly, I did concede that the initial lock-down, to flatten the curve, could be seen as a reasonable measure.

Of course that “lock-down” went on far longer than the originally promised 2 weeks. All during that time the world did not stop and new information about the “virus” and the risk it posed was being discovered on a daily basis. As it became more and more obvious that the risk was nowhere near as dire as first predicted, many became increasingly suspicious about what dark motives were at play in maintaining the false narrative. As therapeutics for safe, effective treatment were discovered, my own suspicion grew rapidly and especially so as such good news was actively suppressed or simply labelled as quackery and conspiracy. Government sources along with the mainstream media continually refused to report any of this hopeful, positive information and findings. Instead, they kept playing up the message that our only hope was coming in the form of vaccines and NOTHING ELSE!

Early treatment was never offered to those newly diagnosed – they were simply sent home, told to isolate and either get better or get admitted once sick enough to need hospitalization. No effort whatsoever was ever made to reduce the panic being generated in the public, instead it was weaponized and used to further drive punitive public policy. At the time I began to wonder why there seemed to be no effort, that I was ever aware of, on the part of the Christian church community in Canada, to explore and expose this deceit. Why was there no effort to at least explore any other agenda that might be driving this obvious deception? I still have to wonder why.

Once the first restrictions were eased, but before churches were allowed to open with a severely restricted capacity; mandatory masking was put into place. Remember, the “first curve/wave” was completely flattened without mandatory masking. So why now… beside the obvious power and public control factor, would such a policy be imposed? Masking has been conclusively demonstrated in study after study to be totally ineffective for situations such as this, and in many cases poses an even greater health risk. Anyway, by the time the churches were finally permitted to open, many congregations had already decided to remain closed, to omit the fellowship factor, and continue on-line instead. Those who did decide to open were directed to abide by a lengthy list of ridiculous, damaging and unnecessary restrictions.

Why was/is it OK to place such tight restrictions on church gatherings but not on the “big box stores,” liquor stores or cannabis shops? Once the churches were allowed to open, why were numbers so severely restricted as well as length of meeting times? Are church goers simply not as bright and require greater supervision and protection than say, liquor stores or cannabis shoppers? Fellowship and socializing were strongly discouraged… why?

I finally got some idea or at least one possible answer… not from a church source but from a Nova Scotia government appointed health official. Dr. Robert Strang stated on the record that one reason for the restrictions on such gatherings or meetings is to prevent the spread of “false information” about the pandemic. Basically he is saying it is dangerous to allow groups to assemble freely and discuss what is going on in the world around them; they might spread information that runs contrary to the official government narrative.

You see, the fact is large crowds of people shopping in Costco are unlikely to meet very many people they know… and certainly won’t “plan” or discuss at length any matters of substance. On the other hand, when groups gather where they know each other (such as clubs, meetings and churches) they are much more likely to discuss, plan and support each other. When such groups meet together, that sense of isolation will be broken. The authorities are depending on isolation to help break down all personal resistance and that sense of being part of a larger and greater body. The actual comment made by Dr Strang is here: https://rumble.com/vj68up-nova-scotia-official-admits-ban-on-in-person-gatherings-is-to-prevent-sprea.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=4

I was never able to determine why the broader Christian community left these restrictions largely unquestioned and unchallenged. Of course some individual churches and groups did question and challenge as they continued to meet to worship our God and Creator. They did so without adherence or strict enforcement of the government imposed restrictions and mandates. These places of worship, these gatherings proved NOT to be the “super-spreaders” the government claimed; yet they were harassed, bullied and persecuted for their efforts. Rather than show broad support for their Christian brethren however, a number of church leaders and fellow Christian believers, condemned their actions and celebrated their punishments… Why?

At this point, I believe many Christians were helping to perpetuate the deception and the panic. Panic was and is as evident in the church as outside the church… Why?

By the early part of 2021, the so called vaccine (which had been hyped as our only hope) became all the rage. People that had been kept largely isolated for close to a year were now at the point where they were sufficiently panicked. Not only panicked, but also desperate enough to do anything in order to, “return to normal.” When developing vaccines was first spoken of, late in the spring of 2020, I also was very hopeful and eagerly followed their development and testing. I not only heard the promises in the mainstream media, but also followed the reports of other experts in their field i.e. virologists, epidemiologists and immunologists. By the late summer of 2020, I was beginning to hear some very troubling reports (results from early lab testing) as well as speculation of what this might mean. Nevertheless I remained hopeful, even as the reports remained very doubtful and increasingly alarming. I gradually arrived at the point where I decided I wanted no part of this vaccine gambit… at least not until long term studies were completed and the shots were proven safe.

So where does the church come into this part of the discussion?
Well, I am certain I’m not the only one with questions and concerns about these experimental, medically-injected-biological-agents. Since we had been very effectively isolated for so long, our gatherings (where concerns and any information might normally have been shared) were largely non-existent. One of the most trustworthy (and safe?) places where people might discuss and question such weighty matters, is one’s church – and here it was being tightly controlled. I do know many questions were asked but I don’t know how much discussion ever took place or how many fears were allayed. People were largely left to fend for themselves on so many Covid related matters.

While I clearly believe the “vaccines” are unproven, insufficiently tested, and very dangerous in both the short and long term, it is not my place to tell others what they should do. I am left wondering how anyone, contemplating getting the shots, comes to grips with the numerous manipulations and strong deception being used to get “needles in everybody’s arms.” Tactics used to aggressively push the vaccination program have included offering million dollar lottery tickets, targeting children with free ice-cream & other gifts, offering free dope and reduced jail sentences for prisoners. All the while we have witnessed the hiding and/or suppressing of actual death toll numbers and serious adverse reactions.

Children as young as 12 who are legally too young to go on a school outing without a parents permission are being permitted to get the experimental shots without parental consent. Governments are returning civil rights to those getting the shots but withholding the rights of those who are resisting AND there are indications only those who cooperate will be allowed to work and participate in society. All this for a virus that has been shown to be no more lethal than some of the bad seasonal flues we have endured in past years!

As to the experimental injection itself, it has not yet been approved or proven safe but made available as an experimental medical treatment on an emergency basis only. I believe therefore, that it is the responsibility of every adult looking to participate in this experiment to fully inform themselves of all possible outcomes and consequences.

For the record, I do not believe this is the so called “mark of the beast” spoken of in Revelation 13:15–18. I do however believe this vaccine (and the pressure to have everyone accept it) is the product of dishonesty and strong deception. There can be very little doubt that there are other agendas in play here and which I believe to be very evil. There can be no other explanation for the overwhelming efforts to shut down ALL effective treatments and silence ALL health care professionals. Remember many of those experts risked both their careers and reputations because they dared speak out against the official narrative. One must at least wonder about the dishonest and deceitful tactics used to portray the “vaccine” as safe, effective and approved. According to the medical experts that I’ve just noted and the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), tens of thousands have died and hundreds of thousands have had severe adverse reactions (at the time of this writing). Already there have been more deaths attributed to this experimental vaccine than to all other vaccine reports combined since VAERS records began to be kept! With this kind of record, any other medication trial would have been permanently shut-down and abandoned already.

Of course what is actually being suppressed is the fact that the vaccine is experimental, is not approved at all and is only being given on an “Emergency Use Authorization” basis. And of course, this explains why the emergency was declared (where none actually existed) and why effective treatments were actively suppressed and lied about. Big pharma could never have gotten their EUA waiver if there had been no declared emergency or if other effective treatments were already available. Also most people do not even realize they personally assume all risk and responsibility when they sign their consent to participate in this experiment and take the injections. The pharmaceutical companies (making billions of dollars off these “vaccines”) have zero liability. They have total immunity from being sued. Employers saying you must have the shots as a condition of employment may not be willing to accept liability for any death or disability caused by these shots. You are largely on your own as many unfortunate folks are already finding out.

The other day a very good friend told me she feared for her livelihood and is facing a pending choice between taking the shots and keeping her job or declining the injections and losing her job. Such choices are becoming more and more the fate folks must face. Look at the following article titled, “Unvaccinated employees could face masks, segregation upon return to office: Experts” (https://www.cp24.com/news/unvaccinated-employees-could-face-masks-segregation-upon-return-to-office-experts-1.5490223) It allows for the possibility some face of declining the shots at the expense of being treated as a second class citizen (should the employer choose to be so generous).

How about those who, having lost their jobs, were seeking employment as restrictions begin to get lifted. Here is an example of one Canadian government (provincial in this case) using the private sector to discriminate. See this link: https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.html?item=51489&posted=2021-06-24. To give you an idea, this article states in part, “Under the Healthy Hire Manitoba Program, local employers can apply for up to $50,000 in provincial support to help cover the wages of new employees who can attest they have been vaccinated or will be vaccinated.” This is being done in a way very reminiscent of the issue in 2018 where churches were denied youth summer job grants when ever Ottawa felt they were trying to weaken or limit access to abortion.

So far as I had been aware, the Canadian Christian church has had nothing to say or offer as it relates to the C-19 vaccines though they are clearly a major issue for a great many people. That in itself I find disturbing. As I did some online searching for thoughts & direction on these topics, I specifically looked for Canadian church, denominational or creed sources. Looking at the Evangelical Association of Canada I found very little useful information or suggestion on this particular topic. I did find one reference directing me to articles on cardus.ca and when I went there, what I found was extremely disappointing and annoying. Allow me to express my concerns by first quoting from a couple of their articles:

1) Vaccination Incentives for the Common Good “We’re almost there! The pandemic’s terrible toll on people’s lives and our country as a whole is coming close to an end. Notwithstanding the talk of a few doomsayers, Canadians are getting out to local clinics, pharmacies, hockey arenas, and other venues in order to roll up their sleeves for the one thing that will ultimately crush COVID-19’s deadly threat: vaccines...

...The key at this stage of the game is to keep our eye on turning that final ball into the sweet, soothing blue of pandemic freedom that comes with herd immunity.”

2) Canada Needs A COVID Vaccination Incentive Program Now “OTTAWA, ON – Canadian think tank Cardus is calling on the federal government to introduce vaccine incentives aimed at encouraging vaccine uptake.”

Under the proposal, each fully vaccinated Canadian would receive a cash incentive of up to $90 to be spent at local businesses and charities. More details are available in a newly released Cardus policy brief by Brian Dijkema, Vice President of External Affairs at Cardus, and Sean Speer, Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.”

The only thought that comes to mind as I read these articles is, “such utter rubbish!” I note that in writing such position papers and policy proposals, the authors claim no medical basis for their opinions nor do they have any medical background. Their expertise seems to be only in public policy and labour relations. In this instance, the authors are using the platform of Cardus to help sell the government strategy without regard to the science. Cardus is described as “an independent think tank” and seen by many as having a Judeo-Christian background and values and is a registered charity as well. Indeed, in the article “Vaccination Incentives for the Common Good,” the authors refer to those with concerns (such as I have shared) as “doomsayers” and seems to hand wave us all away with that one pejorative term. I know many Christians utilize this organization as a source of authoritative information – but based on reading this, I find that very sad indeed and I would hope their research went much deeper than these articles appear to have gone.

All the information I’ve been privy to; the data, the testimony of countless experts, the personal experiences of those victims who’s lives have been forever changed and ruined... ALL has been available and freely shared by both myself and others. Multiple credible sources of information and evidence are available to everyone. As adults, faced with making the decision about the experimental shots, each person is responsible to inform them-self as they make up their mind. I believe the most recent moves to give this to children however, is not just ill-conceived but outright criminal and I stand firmly against that.

The last link I want to share is this video: Justice Centre's John Carpay delivers powerful speech at rally for Pastor Tim Stephens This is perhaps one of the most important considerations to ponder as it concerns our very freedom in this country. Here Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms president John Carpay delivers a powerful speech (at a rally outside of the Calgary Remand Centre) held in support of Tim Stephens, the jailed pastor of Fairview Baptist Church.

As this country again prepares to “reopen” and people eagerly look forward to resuming their “normal” daily activities, there are several important factors I am hoping to see direction and leadership on. First, only a small portion of our constitutional rights are actually being returned – and that conditionally so. Secondly, the government has retained new power for itself that it never had before. It has given itself, through this so called emergency, the ability to immediately reimpose all restrictions for any reason it decides is a “crisis” or “emergency,” apparently with no criteria necessary. Severe limits on gathering continue to exist in some jurisdictions and new inhibitions are being placed on our ability to speak freely and openly. I believe the church cannot help but be involved in the discussion – either freely and openly or grudgingly and by default.

It seems to me that one of the main reasons for a declining interest in the Christian church these days is a perceived lack of relevance to everyday life. Canadians today see matters such as those outlined above as having a huge impact on their lives as well as their families, friends and communities. These issues are clearly serious and are regarded as both urgent and pressing. Christians are obviously part of these communities and of course experienced the same things; they have many of the same questions. Many within the Christian community are living through the very same events as those of their friends and neighbours and are no doubt left wondering about the silence of the church. This silence almost seems to be coupled with the near complete capitulation to governmental overreach and take-over. The few churches that refused to completely comply with government dictates, and spoke truth to power, were persecuted by governmental authority and actions. Even through all this government over-reach, the broad church community was largely silent or even worse, critical of those who resisted.

During this period of time, people were left wondering if all that they were experiencing somehow fits with Bible prophecy, and if so, how? If not, does the Bible have anything at all to say about times such as these? Many congregants within the churches were seeking direction about what they should be doing, what they might expect or what would be a good and reasonable way to respond. Unfortunately, the best they got in a great many instances was isolation as they “did church” from their living room coach watching YouTube.

Alright, that was just one extraordinary event… well, maybe. That event however has lasted the better part of 1.5 years and some of the effects linger on with no end in sight. With the governing authorities now well rehearsed use of “emergency powers” to gain nearly unrestrained power, what about the next “crisis” that is sure to come? Is the church going to be willing or able to address that when it happens? What about other current events we’re experiencing right now? As morals continue to rapidly decay and children are the primary targets, does the church wish to address any of those issues in a plain, truthful and forceful manner?

All these are questions are relevant to us today as we wonder if, how, or where this all fits into Bible prophecy. Canadians are seeking truthful answers to the problems we are faced with. I believe Jesus gave us signs and prophecies to help us understand the times we live in and also to help us realize that He has always known what is coming. He is totally in charge and always has been. So then, how do the signs and prophecies written in the Bible relate to the events today? John 16 would seem to be as good a starting point as any to begin to show relevance. Verses 1-4 say :

“I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue, yet a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God. They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me. But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them.”

The chapter concludes at verse 33 with, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

My final thought and conclusion concerns the relevance of large segments of “the church” as we’ve seen it largely capitulate to societal demands and deception. If it is silent on the issues, such as outlined in this essay – and if it is unable to see, appreciate, or in any way address any of these concerns – if individuals feel like they are on their own with no idea of where to turn – then I am afraid the relevance of the church may not be apparent.

While the Country Sleeps!!!

If you are anything like me, you must be aware of just how quickly things are happening all around us these days; things that are both interesting as well as alarming. It’s really hard to miss what is now being referred to as the, “New Normal.” If you think back to the summer of 2019, and think about what you were doing at that time…, the folks you were spending some time with or visiting…, the kinds of things you were planning to do…, your goals and dreams perhaps… does any of that come close to the reality you now find yourself in? If you really haven’t noticed or if you think the “normal” we used to have is just around the next corner – just after we meet the next set-by-government metric – you’re still sleeping and it’s time to wake-up!

Over the past year and a half, we all have been manipulated into surrendering, bit-by-precious-bit, essential pieces of our liberty and freedom. In much the same way that free-ranging cattle, destined ultimately for market, find themselves “suddenly” enclosed and milling about in a corral, we now find ourselves in a very similar position. But how did we get here; what did we miss? Well.....back to the cattle in the corral metaphor, consider this; a cattle drive doesn’t actually begin with a lone cowboy charging at a huge herd of free-ranging cattle. Likewise, our current circumstances did not begin with some poor soul getting sick from eating bat-soup over in China. Surely, by now this much at least should be clear.

Rather than rehash a lot of the content from each step along the way, I’d like to take a look at the process… the history leading up to our present predicament. So, long before the Wuhan bat soup story, plans were already in the works for the scenario in which we now find ourselves. Let’s look a little deeper and see if we can connect the dots starting with “Event 201.”

By now most folks reading this have probably heard of Event 201 hosted by The John Hopkins Center. Here is a description (see link for more) “The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences.”
- **(editing note: The web page in question has been edited and altered after this writer first viewed it and included it in this article.)

Is the fact this event occurred just a couple months before the actual pandemic was declared just a coincidence… or was it a last minute actors meeting and rehearsal before Covid was sent to center stage? Interesting question; but you might want to see how this plays perfectly into the so called “Great Reset” and Globalist agenda here: https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/timeline-great-reset-agenda-event-201-pandemic-2020/.

Did you know that Bill Gates, one of the chief organizers of Event 201, denied the event? I wonder why? But here we read the following:

“In October, 2019 Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who, together with his wife, runs the richest and most powerful foundation in the world, co-organized a simulation exercise on a worldwide corona epidemic. Videos were posted documenting the exercise. But intriguingly Gates now denies such an exercise ever took place.

Why? On April 12, 2020, Bill Gates said in an interview to the BBC, “Now here we are. We didn’t simulate this, we didn’t practice, so both the health policies and economic policies, we find ourselves in uncharted territory.”

This is the same person who, just six months before the outbreak of the pandemic, organized a series of four role-playing simulations of a corona pandemic with very high-ranking participants. Event 201 was a simulation of a corona pandemic conducted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum and Johns Hopkins University in October 2019.”
**(Find this quote and the rest of the article at: https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/international/why-is-gates-denying-event-201)

- Guess what, before Event 201 there were other activities that look very suspicious and must be considered. In 2015, leaked Chinese documents discuss a plan for unleashing Corona viruses:
https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/leaked-chinese-document-reveals-a-sinister-plan-to-unleash-coronaviruses/news-story/53674e8108ad5a655e07e990daa85465

- In 2003 the CDC filed a patent for the SARS-Covid virus and it was granted in 2007. How this fact ties into today’s pandemic is being fiercely denied by government sources and much of the drive-by media… but it must be considered. It’s discussed at length in the video “Plandemic II” as seen here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/4u7rt61YeGox/

- There is compelling evidence that a patent for a vaccine was filed even before a “pandemic” was declared, suggesting it was being studied even before the virus was released. According to a New York Post article: https://nypost.com/2021/06/04/chinese-scientist-filed-covid-vaccine-patent-after-contagion-emerged-report/

“A Chinese Communist Party military scientist who got funding from the National Institutes of Health filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine in February last year — raising fears the shot was being studied even before the pandemic became public, according to a new report.”

- Finally there’s this gem which begs the question, “Is Fauci a prophet or did he know something was coming just around the corner?” In 2016, Dr Fauci predicted there would be a pandemic (just like we are experiencing) before the end of President Trump’s term in office. https://bestlifeonline.com/fauci-coronavirus-prediction/

Alright, so most of us were largely unaware and asleep very early on. The stuff I’ve just mentioned went largely unnoticed and was possibly something we cared very little about. I mean, we’ve always believed we live in the best country in the world – right? All these recent social disturbances and periods of growing unease are just wrinkles… right? With the right political leaders and influences, these issues will get all ironed out… right? The radical social manipulation and engineering that we saw progressing right under our noses, was just a normal part of societal growth… right? Countries such as ours, which are built on a system of religious freedom, morals, ethics, and liberty for all, are the very countries now targeted for utter destruction. These are the very countries into which generations of hard working people poured their energy, allegiance and their very blood. The effort to utterly destroy all we are and completely erase our history is just the way civilizations naturally go… right?

The fact is, that for those who study such things, this particular brand of EVIL goes back a long, long time and can be traced through various historic movements and cabals. While most of us have been blissfully unaware, there are those who have been sounding the alarm. Such EVIL is incredibly deceptive, highly calculating, exceedingly determined and very patient. Those pursuing this agenda, battle for the hearts and minds of the populace and know that as those hearts and minds are converted to their cause, there will be very little resistance. The people will naturally follow – even to the point of their own ultimate enslavement.

Think I’m just crazy? OK, forget that and let’s just look at some more facts from the history of this present “pandemic.”

1. My professional training and career for over 34 years was Nursing. This along with my ability to think critically led me to realize shortly after the “pandemic” was declared that things just did not add up. Why? Consider:

- Initial government insistence that what was being reported, from China and other countries where the illness appeared to have spread, was no cause for concern or screening of any kind. Indeed there was active resistance to screen and prevent travellers (carrying the disease) from entering the country. This was very suspicious as was the governmental pronouncements that we had all the necessary medical treatments and know-how to treat this illness. This tactic insured the “virus” got a good foothold and spread within the country. Question: Did the government act too late or did they act according to a script they were given and rehearsed in the Event 201 scenario?

- The near total fiasco surrounding personal protective equipment (PPE) should be studied as to the initial shortages. Were these shortages purposely caused? The Canadian government gave much of our supply away early on. Early shortages of PPE for front line health-care workers led to an entirely predictable increased spread of the pathogen and helped the drive-by media generate even more public panic.

- The media helped turn up the heat within the public by promoting panic and near hysteria. They did this by non-stop 24/7 Covid reports, repeating the same stories over, and over coupled that with “scoreboard reporting” of daily case counts and deaths. Anyone who actually stripped away the panic and studied the reports quickly realized they were rubbish - empty, “nothing” reports. The public who had no point of reference or context for these numbers did not know what to do with them, and this missing context has never been reported. For example, were these numbers high? Were they comparable to other contagious illnesses we see every year? Were the percentages of “positives” low, normal or high when considering total number of tests done?

- Early on, censorship was evident whenever any health care professional spoke out against the official narrative. Doctors and nurses were being shut-down and silenced. I remember watching alternative reports showing nurses speaking out about the blatant mismanagement of patient care. No physical assessment of patients. Improper isolation of identified C-19 patients by placing them amongst those who did not have C-19. Diagnosing patients as positive without a lab result. Coercing doctors to lie on death certificates. The obvious question to all this is, “Why?” Instead of attempting to answer, the consistent response was denial and censorship.

- How about the mask fiasco. (Many places are still in the midst of this one.) Masks are not a new invention, nor is their proper use, or the science behind proper isolation techniques. Yet every principle of this same “science” has been repeatedly violated. There has been inconsistency since day one concerning masks. The initial statements by Fauci were correct... i.e. there is no need for the general public to wear masks. Since then, the way they have been used does absolutely no good and actually can be harmful. These statements have been supported by many disease and epidemiology specialists as well as numerous recent studies. Isolating healthy individuals from society has never been an approved medical treatment or practice – it does not work and has proven to do far more harm than good.

2. OK, Remember these gems?:

- Remember when doctors were removed from social media, their websites were taken down and they were booted from their jobs for speaking about therapies that actually worked? Those included in this purge of information included some Nobel-prize winning scientists, leading medical specialists and peer reviewed published researchers who were suddenly being called quacks. And yet very, very few of their patients died.

- Remember when people were dying of heart disease, cancer, and other disease because they couldn’t get proper care? This was because all anyone was concerned about was Covid?

- Remember when the total yearly death toll was actually LESS in 2020 than it was in 2019? AND the flu along with most heart-attacks just mysteriously disappeared from the statistics.

- How about when businesses were shut down, fined and owners even jailed for trying to make a living – remember that? All the while Walmart & Costco were raking in huge profits.

3. After wading through months of never heard of before restrictions, folks were relieved to finally have plans announced to reopen and see their freedoms returned. Let’s see how that worked out – certainly not as people had hoped.

- Remember watching ridiculous mandates like, “wear a mask into a restaurant, but you can take it off when you’re seated?” Apparently that’s how science works.

- Remember watching an alarming rise in teen suicide… because the lock-downs and isolation from their friends and activities was too heavy a burden for their little souls to carry?

- Remember how our elected officials and politicians seemed to have “rules for thee, but not for me” as they repeatedly got caught violating their own mandates?

- Remember a vaccine being pushed out in less than a year, and without adequate testing? No such thing has ever been approved before. I remember when everyone was shouting from the rooftops that it (the magic vaccine that would save us all) was safe and effective. All the while it was being pushed and promoted by shaming, coercing, and bribing people into getting it. Tactics even included free donuts, burgers, fries, lottery tickets, free dope and all sorts of other nonsense.

- Remember how portions of the vaccine inserts are *intentionally blank* because these are still in clinical trials? Remember also that all the test animals died when they tried to create these same kinds of shots in past trials?

- Remember being made to feel stupid for not getting an experimental gene therapy? At the same time this same therapy had caused the VAERS reporting system to become back logged 3+ months with a flood of reports showing reactions and deaths had already increased 1200%.

- And do you recall when anyone who didn’t comply was labelled a “super spreader, grandma killer” and treated like a leper for not wearing a mask in public?

- Remember how the idea for “vaccine passports” was dropped on the uninformed public? Support for it was then continuously built and promoted (ginned-up, as it were) by the governmental media allies?

Now, let’s get back to focus on the process at work in this pandemic.

At the same time that Event 201 was being held at John Hopkins (October 18, 2019), the 7^th World Military Games were being held in Wuhan, China. These ran from October 18 – 27, 2019. Coincidence? Perhaps. This was the first international military, multi-sport event to be held in China and also the largest military sports event to ever be held there. There were nearly 10,000 athletes from approximately 135 nations competing in 27 sports.

So, while the “Center for Health Security,” and partners from the “World Economic Forum,” and the “Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation” were meeting at John Hopkins to discuss and plan impacts of a “world wide pandemic,” the actual pandemic was beginning in Wuhan at the Military Games. A large number of witnesses have come forward to confirm events and illness in the after math of those games. Some reported illness actually began while military personnel were still in Wuhan.

According to Life Site News https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/did-soldier-athletes-returning-from-military-games-in-wuhan-bring-home-covid-19:

“A Canadian soldier has reportedly testified that up to a third of military athletes who participated in the World Military Games in Wuhan, China in October 2019 became violently ill.

The unnamed whistle-blower, who was interviewed by Rebel Media’s Keean Bexte and was identified only as a “senior Canadian Armed Forces member,” said that at the “tail-end” of the games, a lot of the athletes became “really, really, sick” with “lung issues, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea.”

In an article titled, “Did the Military World Games Spread COVID-19?” https://prospect.org/coronavirus/did-the-military-world-games-spread-covid-19/ we read:

“The October 2019 event, held in Wuhan, China, appears to have been a vector for spreading disease in the U.S. and around the world…

…Contrary to the Pentagon’s insistence, however, an investigation of COVID-19 cases in the military from official and public source materials shows that a strong correlation exists in COVID-19 cases reported at U.S. military facilities that are home bases of members of the U.S. team that went to Wuhan.

Before March 31, when the Pentagon restricted the release of information about COVID-19 cases at installations for security reasons, infections occurred at a minimum of 63 military facilities where team members returned after the Wuhan games…

…Athletes who participated from other nations—both U.S. allies like France and Italy and adversaries like Iran—have reported suffering from COVID-19 symptoms. Some Iranian athletes died from COVID-19, including some who were in Wuhan, according to news reports not verified by Tehran.

The Pentagon’s reluctance to test athletes returning from Wuhan was not unique. No other nation’s military appears to have tested their participants in the 2019 World Military Games specifically for COVID-19. French doctors examined their athletes upon their return from the games as part of overall exams.”

The final puzzle piece I want to drop into this tiny part of the picture (that is most certainly much, much bigger) is this:

Have you by any chance heard of “Self-replicating vaccines?”....... No, this is not just some crazy idea I or some other tin-foil hat character have come up with. This is a technology that has been worked on for quite some time now. The following link is a source where you can read the entire article: https://nexusnewsfeed.com/article/health-healing/johns-hopkins-on-self-spreading-self-propagating-transmissible-vaccines/

In 2018, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Center for Health Security, published Technologies to Address Global Catastrophic Biological Risks. (This would be just a year prior to their hosting Event 201)

“Among the technologies discussed in the paper, are "Self-Spreading Vaccines." Vaccines that only need be given to a portion of the population, and are then become communicable between individuals, like a virus…

…Self-spreading vaccines—also known as transmissible or self-propagating vaccines—are genetically engineered to move through populations in the same way as communicable diseases…

…Self-spreading vaccines have already been used to protect wild rabbits from myxomatosis and to control Sin Nombre virus in rodent populations.

Additional work is targeting Ebola virus in apes and bats, Lassa virus in rats, and bovine tuberculosis in badgers…

…In the event of a grave public health threat, self-spreading vaccines could potentially be used to broadly inoculate human populations. Like the approach in animals, only a small number of vaccinated individuals would be required in order to confer protection to a larger susceptible population, thus eliminating the need for mass vaccination operations…”

I first learned of this technology and some of the potential uses in a video discussion where Dr. Lee Merritt is interviewed by Mike Adams. Among other things, the idea of self-disseminating and transmitting of specific antigens and spike-proteins (as is the case with the Covid-19 injections) is discussed. This video is located at the following link and is well worth watching: https://www.bitchute.com/video/E9gd8KdVCaek/

By now it should be obvious that this “global health crisis” was never about the health of we the people. It has always been about control and ushering in something else. What exactly? I can’t say for certain… perhaps a “New World Order” of some sort?… ever since day one? Whatever the case, it is being promoted and spoken of quite freely these days.

While the Church Sleeps!!!

Alright, much of the world has been asleep and unfortunately, many continue to slumber. What about the Christian church community? What’s happening there? Are they asleep as well? Well, the answer is complicated – but basically it boils down to Yes… and No. Most certainly many are awake and this is particularly true in some regions and within some groups. Sadly however, this seems not to be the case in many instances, and I fear that far more are asleep than awake. I hope I am wrong.

Far too many within the church have been quick to accept the lies and deceptions from the very beginning “WITHOUT QUESTION” even when it came to ordering the churches closed. Initially this might be understandable… even while liquor stores remained open as did every big box store in the country. However when churches were never allowed to fully reopen – even with the availability of data and evidence proving that such measures were not necessary – far too many within the church were unwilling to review the data or question the authorities. Not only that, many went to the extent of criticizing and condemning those who did. It seems they were sleeping comfortably and didn’t wish to be disturbed or awakened. Others looked to scripture where they proceeded to cherry-pick passages that would seem to support their lack of action.

An oft quoted passage is Romans 13:1, speaking of our obligation to obey those in authority. This principle does not stand alone however, and Christians generally understand there are times when we must stand against the earthly authorities. Scripture is filled with many examples of resisting orders from authority.

My personal question on this topic is directed specifically to those who refuse to look at the validity or unwholesomeness of tyrannical orders and directives. How do you decide if such orders are within the bounds of what you should be following? Do you just assume, “the government said it, therefore it must be true?” If this is the case, you will be among those most easily deceived. We know we face the very greatest of deceivers – he is the one through whom EVIL has continued to grow through ALL aspects of society through ALL generations. Do you delude yourself by thinking his deception for you will come in the form of him challenging some doctrine you believe in? Or do you think that before attempting to deceive you, he will say, “I am now going to try to deceive you – get ready.” No, it’s called deception precisely because it works so well. In fact Matthew 24:24 talks about how effective the enemy can be with his deceptions.

I will end with two more links which serve to make this point. In this link https://pastorwagner.com/blog-we-ought-to-obey-god-rather-than-men/ Pastor Wagner writes:

“We are living under tyranny because the churches, who should have been holding up the banner of truth and freedom for others to see and follow, failed in their duty because of fear of a virus and tyrants. As Pastor Stephens said, “When the church is free to promote the good news of Jesus it will lead to freedom in the entire society. When you look at a society and there is a free church, there will be a free people.”

Some have made the argument that the Bible gives examples of quarantining people to stop the spread of an infectious disease, so therefore churches are obeying God when they shut down because of the decrees of public health departments. There is just one little problem with this argument: the Bible commanded the quarantining of sick people, not healthy people!

“If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:” (Lev 13:4)

I’ve heard preachers say that this was not a hill they wanted to die on. If we are not willing to die on this hill, then which hill are we willing to die on? What we have experienced for the last year is the greatest assault on churches that we have seen in this country in our lifetimes, and probably since the 17th and 18th centuries before the founding of our republic when Baptist churches were still being cruelly persecuted by protestants in this land. Churches have literally been forcibly closed, had their assembly sizes dictated to them, and been forced to wear coverings over their faces which dehumanize us and do nothing to stop the spread of a virus.”

The second link is from Life Site News in a piece titled, “Christians must resist all COVID-19 restrictions. Here’s why” (https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/christians-must-resist-all-covid-19-restrictions-heres-why)

In this piece, among other things the author writes is this:

“Many people violated Nazi law in order to save Jewish lives: the ten Boom family, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Oskar Schindler, Irene Sandler, to name only a few. I’m not saying we should be able to pick and choose which laws to obey, but when the law is clearly anti-life, we have a duty to push back.

Given God’s overwhelming affirmation of life, can Christians do anything less than value life and resist anything that compromises human life, in all its forms?”

And now I will quote the authors conclusion and let it be my conclusion as well:

“Conclusion

In the very beginning of the “COVID crisis,” I kept saying that the numbers didn’t add up. Either things were much worse than we were led to believe, or they weren’t nearly as bad. Lockdowns, followed by mask mandates, followed by talk of vaccine mandates, convinced me that COVID-19 was not as serious as the government pretended, but that the response was going to be much worse. I was proven right. I don’t know why there is so much pressure for everyone to receive the jab: rewards, threats, coercion. Why do all of that if the jab is truly safe and effective? In fact, if it’s effective, then why worry about those who don’t get it?

And I guess that’s my big question. Why? The possible answers scare me, and they should scare every thinking person on the planet.”
