The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley

  As the grandchildren of God, the Nephilim had a covenant with God, in the time of the flood that is

  never specifically mentioned, but is alluded to. The covenant is revealed after the flood, when the

  giants were not destroyed. Their survival both before and after the flood is found in the statement;

  “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward.” Meaning, before and after the flood.

  There are also Rabbinical and Eastern traditions that claim that Og, the Amorite king and giant,

  survived the flood by wading next to the ark, with another version stating that Og survived by Moses

  feeding him through a hole in the roof of the ark.

  The Nephilim or giants are referred to within the Bible as Rephiam, Nephilim, with tribal names of

  Amorites, Canaanites, Emmin, Zanzummin, Amalekites, Horim and the Anak. The Emmin that

  translates to “terrible men” were an accounted tribe of giants that lived east of the Dead Sea. The

  Anakim are defined in “ A Dictionary of the Bible” as “A race of giants, descendants of Arba (Josh.

  15:13, 21:11), dwelling in the southern part of Canaan, and particularly at Hebron, which from their progenitor received the name of “city of Arba.” Besides the general designation Anakim, they are

  variously called Anak (Num. 13: 33), descendants of Anak (Num. 13: 22) and sons of Anak (Deut. 1:

  28). These designations serve to show that we must regard Anak as the name of a race rather than that

  of an individual, and this is confirmed by what is said of Arba, their progenitor, that he “was a great

  man among the Anakim” (Josh. 15:15).

  The most renown of the giants were the Amorites, whose two kings Sihon and Og, who ruled the

  rich lands that are described as being bounded by Jabok on the north, the Arnon on the south, Jordan on

  the west, and the “wilderness” on the east (Judges 11: 21, 22), this land was noted as the “land of the

  Amorites.” Their possessions are distinctly stated to have extended to the foot of Mt. Herman. (Joshua

  13:11) Mt. Herman is where the sons of God swore the oath to mate with mortal women.

  2000 B.C the Amorites are living with, an allied to Abraham, who was living in Hebron, under the

  “oak grove.” The tribes of giants had been subjugated by Chedorlaomer , and rebelled. Genesis 14: 5

  “And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings were with him, and smote the Rephaims

  in Ashteroth in Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emmins in Shaveh Kiriathaim, (6) And the

  Horites in their mount. [...] and smote all the country of the Amelekites, and also the Amorites, that

  dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.”

  Abraham's alliance with the Amorites is revealed in (14:13) That states he dwelt in the plain of

  Mamre the Amorite, and these were confederate with Abram. A little known association of Abraham

  with the Sons of God and the Nephilim, was uncovered in Praeparatio Evangelica, The Old Testament

  Pseudepigrapha , Charles H. Charlesworth. “ In anonymous works, we find that Abraham traced his

  ancestry to the giants. These dwelt in the land of Babylonia. Because of their impiety, they were

  destroyed by the gods. One of them, Belos, escaped death and settled in Babylon. He built a tower and

  lived in it; the tower was called Belos, after its builder. After Abraham had learned astrology, he went

  to Phoenicia and taught it to the Phoenicians.” In Genesis 14:15, God promises Abraham a child to produce the multitudes that would possess the

  “promised land.” However, the possession of the “promised land” is delayed by the covenant God had

  with his grandchildren, the Amorites. Genesis 15:16 “But in the fourth generation they shall come

  hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.”

  The Hebrews can not take possession of the “promised land” because “the inequity of the Amorites is

  not yet full.” This has to be interpreted as the “giants,” who were the offspring of the sons of God had

  a covenant, that up to this time had not been broken. The mysterious origins of the Amorites is shown

  in Ezekiel, chapter 28, in the judgement of the prince of Tyre. Tyre is a Phoenician/Amorite city of

  trade on the western shores of the Medeteranean. In the Book of Ezekiel are versus that place the

  Amorites within the Garden of Eden, where they were “created.” Is the Bible saying that Amorites who

  were of the Cro-Magnon species the first men that inhabited the Garden of Eden? Ezekiel 28:13:

  “Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God. The workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was

  prepared in the day that thou was created.” Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set

  thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the

  stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created, till iniquity was found

  in thee.”

  Iniquity, is defined as a wicked, unjust or unrighteous act. The iniquities the Amorites committed is

  explained further in The Book of Enoch, that tells of godlessness the Nephilim-Amorites were engaged

  in. The quote acts as a checklist in identifying the Amorites; as the introducer of metals or weapons,

  temples constructed to track the sun and the moon, evidence of the use of mathematics in the temples

  construction, astrology, the “signs of the earth,” which is the worship of the Earth Mother, and the

  identification of sacred springs, hilltops, mountains, boulders, groves, trees and rivers. The knowledge

  passed from the sons of God to the Nephilim is as relevant and observable in ancient land of the Amorites, as it is in the British Isles and the Ohio Valley. Enoch 8:1-3: “And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids and all kinds of costly stones, and all (2) colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in their ways. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root cuttings, Armoras the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal taught astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezwqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon.

  Azazel “made known,” to the Nephilim metals, and how to fashion them into swords and knives.

  This is historically consistent with the beginning of the Bronze Age around 2700 B.C. The Amorites

  were mining and trading copper and tin and innovating improved types of knives and swords. It is also

  around this time that marks the beginning of the Megalithic building of stone circles, that were used to

  track the motions of the sun and moon and to pay homage to those deities.

  The secrets taught to the Nephilim by the 8 sons of God are important in identifying the Amorites in

  the Levant, the British Isles or in the Ohio Valley. In each location, the Amorites introduced metals

  and built open-air stone and earthen temples to worship the Sun and the Earth. The temples were

  constructed using complex mathematics and were used as solar celestial observatories. They placed

  their dead in burial mounds, where their gigantic skeletons have been uncovered, revealing that they

  were an archaic type of human, closely related to the Upper Paleolithic, Cro-Magnon.

  H. P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled, reveals that the legend of the sons of God mating with the daughters

  of man is not isolated to the Torah or the Bible but is widespread in the stories of many ancient texts.

p; Isisi Unveiled, A Master Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology, 1877,

  “The fables of the mythopœic ages will be found to have but allegorized the the greatest truths of

  geology and anthropology. It is in these ridiculously expressed fables that science will have to look for

  her “missing links.”

  Otherwise, whence such strange “coincidences” in the respective histories of nations and peoples so

  widely thrown apart? Whence that identity of primitive conceptions which, fables and legends though they are termed now, contain in them nevertheless the kernel of historical facts, of a truth thickly

  overgrown with the husks of popular embellishment, but still a truth? Compare only the verse of

  Genesis vi: “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters

  were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took

  them wives of all which they chose...There were giants in the earth in those days,” ect., with this part

  of the Hindu cosmogony, in the Vedas, which speaks of the descent of the Brahmans. The first

  Brahman complains of being alone among all his brethren without a wife. Notwithstanding that the

  Eternal advises him to devote his days soley to the study of the Sacred Knowledge (Veda), the first

  born of mankind insists. Provoked at such ingratitude, the eternal gave Brahman a wife of the race of

  the Daints, or giants, from whom all the Brahmans maternally descend. This the entire Hindu

  priesthood is descended, on the one hand, from the superior spirits (the sons of God), and from

  Daintany, a daughter of the earthly giants, the primitive men. “And they bare children to them; the

  same became mighty men which were of old; men of renown” (Mythologie des Indous)

  The same is found in the Scandinavian cosmogonical fragment. In the Eddas is given the description

  to Gangler by Har, one of the three informants (Har, Jafuhar, and Tredi) of the first man, called Bur,

  “the father of Bor, who took for a wife Besla, a daughter of the giant Bolthara, of the race of the

  primitive giants.” The full and interesting narrative may be found in the Prose Edda, sects. 4-8, in

  Mallett's Northern Antiquities.

  The same groundwork underlies the Grecian fables about Titans; and may be found in the legend of

  the Mexicans-four successive races of

  Popol-Vuh. It constitutes one of the many ends to be found in

  the entangled and seemingly inextricable skein of mankind, viewed as a psychological phenomenon.

  To say that it sprang up, and grew and developed throughout the countless ages, without either cause or

  at least firm basis to rest upon, but merely as an empty fancy, would be to utter as great an absurdity as the theological doctrine that the universe sprang into creation out of nothing.”

  The Amorites

  Archaeology and the Bible, George Barton, 1916 “The Amorites belonged to the Indo-European

  type, the nose was straight and regular, the forehead high, the cheek bones somewhat prominent. We

  find that this was precisely the character of the face of the Mentone and Cro-Magnon skulls. The

  Amorites at one time occupied the mountainous regions of Asia Minor from the south-west of the

  Caspian to the Aegean Sea. Here they flourished, and for many centuries horde after horde of these

  people descended into the rich and fertile plains of Syria and Mesopotamia.”

  The Amorites, were the accounted giants of the Bible who possessed the land of Canaan before the

  conquest of the Israelites. The Amorites brought with them a new tribal organization, pottery, and

  burial customs in the Intermediate Bronze Age. In early Babylonian inscriptions the “land of the

  Amorites” consisted of all the “western” lands that included Syria and Canaan.

  The artist who ornamented the Egyptian monuments has there illustrated the various people of

  Western Asia conquered by Thothmes III, and among them were the Amorites who, we know from

  Babylonian records, were a powerful race inhabiting the country north and east of the Dead Sea, as

  early as 3800 BC.

  Amorite depicted on Egyptian bas-relief, From The Early History of the Hebrews, 1901

  Archaeology and the Bible, George Barton, 1916 “We are accustomed to call this Semitic people

  Amorites, and it probable that this is right. About 2800 B.C, under a great king named Sargon, a city

  of Babylonia called Uru, or Amurru, and Agade conquered all of Babylonia. The dynasty founded by

  Sargon was Semitic and ruled Babylonia for 197 years. Even before Sargon conquered Babylonia,

  Lugalzaggisi, King of Erech, had penetrated to the Medeteranean coast. Sargon and two of his

  successors, Naram-Sin and Shargali-sharri, carried their conquest to the Medeteranean lands. A seal of

  the last mentioned king was found in Cyprus. It is probable that the coming of the Amorites began in

  the north with the conquests of these kings.

  To the east of Lebanon the Princeton expedition found stone structures similar to Babylonian

  Ziggurats, which they attribute to the Amorites, and hold to indicate the prevalence of Babylonian

  influence in this region.

  It is probable that the Amorites slowly worked southward, occupying different cities as they went.

  Mr. Macalister estimated that they reached Gezer about 2500 B.C. It is not, therefore, unreasonable,

  though they may have arrived there a century earlier than that. This was the beginning of that long

  intercourse with Babylonian language and script for the purpose of expressing written thought in

  Palestine long after the Egyptians had conquered the country. The intercourse was the more natural

  because the Semites who came to Palestine were of the same race as those who were dominant in

  Babylonia.

  Meantime, the Egyptians had begun to take notice of Palestine, an officer of Pepi I of the sixth

  Egyptian dynasty, relates that he crossed the sea in ships to the back of the height of the ridge north of

  the “sand-dwellers and punished the inhabitants.” This refers to the coast of Palestine in the

  neighborhood of the Phillistine cities of Gezer. This time was between 2600 and 2750 B.C. Egypt was

  at this time only anxious to make her own borders secure; she had no desire to occupy this Asiatic land.

  Again, between 2300 and 2200 B.C., a fresh migration of Semites, apparently also of the Amorite branch, invaded Babylonia and in time made the city of Babylon the head of a great empire. This race

  furnished the first dynasty of Babylon, which ruled from 2210 to 1924 B. C. Its greatest king,

  Hammurabi, who gave to Babylon a code of laws in the vernacular language, conquered the “west

  land,” which means the Medeteranean coast.

  It was probably under his successor, Shamsu-iluna, but certainly under one of the kings of this

  period. In this same period there lived in Babylonia an Abraham, the records of some of whose

  business documents have come down to us. We also find three men who bore the names Yagubilu

  (Jacobel) and Yashubilu (Josephel) and one who was simply called Yagub, or Jacob. Palestinian

  evidence from a later time leads us to believe that men bearing all these names migrated during this

  period to Palestine and gave their names to cities which they built or occupied.

  Egyptians also came to Palestine during this period. There was apparently considerable trade with

  Egypt at this time. Men from Palestine often went there for this purpose. Trade with Egypt is also

  shown to have existed by the discovery of Egyptian scara
bs of this time of the Middle Kingdom in the

  excavation of Gezer, Jericho, Tannach and Meggiddo. As Egypt was nearer and commerce with it

  easier, its art affected the art of Palestine during this period more than did the art of Babylon, although

  the people were akin to the Babylonians. In the reign of Sesostris III, 1887-1849 B.C., the Egyptian

  king sent an expedition into Palestine, and captured a place called in Egyptian Sekmen, which is though

  by some to be a misspelling of Shechem. This expedition probably stimulated Egyptian influence in

  the country, though the Egyptians established no permanent control of the land at this time.

  Between 1800 and 1750 B.C a migration occurred which greatly disturbed all western Asia. There

  moved into Babylonia from the east a people called Kassites. They conquered Babylonia and

  established a dynasty which reigned for 576 years. Coincident with this movement into Babylonia there

  was a migration across the whole of Asia to the westward which caused an invasion of Egypt and the

  establishment of the Hykos dynasties there. As pointed out previously, it is possible that this movement, in so far as the leadership of the invasion of Egypt was concerned, was Hittite. In any

  event, however, many Semites were involved in it, as the Semitic names in the Egyptian Delta at this

  time prove. It is customary to assume that it was in connection with this migration that the Canaanites

  came into Palestine. We thus feel sure that there was an increase of population and when next our

  written sources reveal to us the location of the nations, the Canaanites were dwelling in Phoenicia. The

  Egyptian scribes of a later time called the entire western part of Syria and Palestine “The Canaan.”

  Probably, therefore, the Canaanites settled along the sea coast. We, therefore, infer that they came into

  this region at this time. With the coming of an increased population, the Amorites appear to have been

  in part subjugated and absorbed, and in part forced into narrower limits.”

  In Phoenician Origin of the Britons & Scots, 1925, Waddell observed, “ that the old ruling race of
