Psalm 144:5-8
Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; Whose mouth speaks vanity, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.The Nephilim; fathered by fallen angels and born of human mothers, have scrambled to the top of humanity. There, perched like birds of prey, they have ruled, conquered, and maintained many empirical dynasties throughout the ages. Originating as the famous heroes and gods of legend, the truth about them has been carved in stone all around the world. Part history, part warning, the evidence of their existence is covered up without being removed. It is dismissed as fable, deliberately by their own bloodlines, who rule the world today from in the shadows.
Their very existence is an abomination before God; their nature is wicked. The Lord ordered 7 tribes of this literal secret society of giants occupying Canaan to be completely wiped out by the Hebrew army in Deuteronomy 20, telling the Hebrews to "spare nothing that breathes". This seeming act of mercilessness by God is the source of great controversy for people who are critical of the Bible; for to the natural mind this is a great contradiction to a God who is supposed to be loving and merciful.
However, when viewed from a greater perspective, this contradiction of mercy transforms into an affirmation of hope and deliverance. The very presence of Nephilim in Canaan was part of Lucifer's plan to eradicate "the perfect". That perfect is the only one who could break their grip on the world. It was the seed Passed on from Eve through Noah, Abraham, Judah, and David; the yet unborn Jesus Christ. Today we are going to focus on the greatest conspiracy against God and men in Biblical history; the plan to wipe out the messianic bloodline.
Psalm 64 (from David)
"Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words, that they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?"They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded. So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away. All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory."
Although this world has been betrayed unto the devil for now, Lucifer is still a subject of the rule and decree of God. But just as a trapped pest will desperately try to find freedom, so has the devil scrambled and squirmed, killed and destroyed trying to prevent his own demise. God had a plan and a promise for the redemption of humanity which he announced through his curse on the serpent in Eden (Genesis 3:15). From the moment of Adam and Eve's eviction from Eden, Satan immediately began planning to exploit the one loophole he found in the prophecy: that humanity's deliverance and his own destruction would be of human seed. He used the advantage of time to attempt the eradication of all purely human beings, simply to keep the Messiah from being born.
Jesus Christ demonstrated to the world the greatest love it has ever known by his obedient death on the cross. His resurrection is, to believers, the greatest demonstration of victory in history. His teachings guide us from darkness into light, and he has risen from death to crush the serpent's head and judge the whole world fairly once and for all. In Revelation it is revealed that Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the only one in heaven or on earth who is worthy to set loose the stages of judgment of the world. That process is happening now because of Him, and it will continue until the wicked are plucked up from this place, and cast into the fabled lake of fire.From the pre-flood world all the way to the crucifixion, the serpent and his seed were trying to wipe out the seed of the messiah. That plan was their top priority. But the Lord was always faithful in protecting and delivering his promise for redemption. During the first Babylonian Empire, God called Te-rah, father of Abraham, to go to Canaan. When Te-rah settled down and finished his life mid-way to their destination, God called Abraham to finish that quest. Years later, when Abraham's great grandchildren were forced to move from Canaan to Egypt because of a famine, the Lord paved the way for them through the life of Joseph. They did not move back when the famine passed, and so the Nephilim Egyptians eventually enslaved them. 400 years later, Canaan has been taken over by tribes of Nephilim, and the Egyptians have enslaved the Hebrews. It is when Pharaoh decides to wipe out the seed of Abraham by killing all male infants that Moses is born, set aside by God to free and form the nation of Israel.
It should be noted that the nation of Israel was established in a wilderness which was cut off on both sides by water, and beyond the water, by Nephilim; the Egyptians on one side of the Red Sea, and the Canaanites on the other side of Jordan. And let me remind you that it was the people's unbelief in God's promise to empower them to defeat their giant enemies which caused them to be punished by wandering in the desert for forty years. By faith we are empowered beyond their greatest means. Psalm37:12-16 tells us
The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth. The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay those that are of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.In claiming the promised land, the Hebrew had to rid it of it's previous occupants. But unlike the conflict between Israel and Palestine today, God himself sent them forth to conquer, by his prophets. Another difference between now and then is that the Canaanites were giants. What was once decreed by God and is now justified by the religious right is truly wicked in the eyes of the Lord today. He saves the oppressed, and fights for the downtrodden and the poor. Difficult as it may be, that describes modern day Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghanis, and the majority of the Continent of Africa. Mainstream, Western Christianity has no excuse for it's negligence of the oppressed, this current religious sickness can only be understood by further examining the deeds of our enemies.
During the conquest of Canaan, some of the Nephilim were left alive, against the commands of God. They either fled to other parts of the world, like Greece, or they stayed in the region, to war with Israel for years to come. The Philistines are an example of such a remnant. Because of Israel's initial disobedience to wipe out all traces of the Canaanites, many of their men were later sacrificed in war and conflict. David, author of most of Psalms, found fame in battling a giant, and for the rest of his life he fought with the enemy of his seed.
Over the years this conflict continued, up to the point that Christ was born. When this happened, King Herod was swayed by the devil to try and kill the newborn messiah. After that attempt was thwarted by God, and when Jesus was baptized and anointed, the devil tried his best to tempt him into self destruction out in the wilderness. When that failed, Satan worked on the hearts of the scribes and pharisees, stirring in them a compulsion to put Jesus to death. The devil truly saw the crucifixion as his greatest accomplishment, for he had finally overcome the dreaded seed that carried the power to unleash his judgment. But of course we all know what happened after that.
To threaten the greatest manifestation of love is, without question, the purest of evils. Which explains God's uncompromising retaliation against this conspiracy to wipe out the seed of Eve. Examples of that retaliation range from the great flood to the last battle which is being fought today. All the mystery that enshrouds these seeds of the serpent and their nefarious plans is not of God's design, but rather their careful planning and constant deception. Otherwise, why would God be so candid in his exposure of them to any who look? He has allowed them to remain hidden only from those who do not think to look for them. Our responsibility lies in Asking so that it can be given to us, seeking so the truth may be found, and knocking, so the door may be opened unto us. We must take steps in order to enter into the light.
The way is clear, the light is calling. For us to carry the mantle of Christ, we must seek out and follow the truth, defend the poor, and grow in love. For vengeance is in the hands of the Lord, and our greatest weapon against evil is our ability to overcome it with good. This current attempt by wolves in sheep's clothing to eradicate the body of Christ is just the same as earlier attempts to kill Jesus himself. But just as victory was given to him, so it will be ours to claim, by faith. We must recognize the nature of the spiritual war we are in, and we must use the light entrusted to us to ward off the agents of darkness.
Psalm 18:28-30
For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
