00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.400
What if the flood did not end the war? That
2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.480
is the question, not did the flood happen, Not why
3
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.400
animals fit on the arc, not whether Noah had a
4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.800
backup generator. The question is this, what if the flood
5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:23.239
did exactly what God intended it to do, but the
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:29.320
rebellion adapted afterward. What if Genesis six was not just
7
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.719
a weird little passage we rushed through on the way
8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.479
to Noah. What if the Sons of God coming down
9
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.759
to the daughters of Men was not a strange side story.
10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.159
What if it was an invasion, a biological assault, a
11
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.880
spiritual war move, a direct attempt to corrupt the human
12
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.880
line through which the promised would come. And what if
13
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.520
after the flood something like it happened again. That is
14
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.719
the idea at the center of my new book, The
15
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:10.719
Second Incursion, Fallen Beings, Giants, and What walks among us
16
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.280
still today. I want to walk you into that framework.
17
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.799
Not to provide every monster story, not to tell you
18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.280
Bigfoot is definitely enophlum with a gym membership, not to
19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.879
turn every shadow in the woods into a demon, okay,
20
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:37.840
but to ask a more serious question, does the Bible
21
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.040
describe a supernatural world big enough to explain why giants,
22
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:49.959
hybrid beings, forest people, goat men, lion men, sea beings,
23
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.840
hidden people's and strange territorial gods show up across the
24
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:01.200
stories of all mankind. Because if the answer is yes,
25
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.719
then the world is less. It's not less biblical because
26
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.439
it is strange. It may be strange because the Bible
27
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.360
was telling the truth the whole time.
28
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:37.319
Broadcasting Seeds, Broadcasting Seeds Truth in the minds of the video.
29
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.800
Welcome back to Broadcasting Seeds. I am your host, Benat Tantan,
30
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.000
and tonight we are getting into something I have been
31
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.560
working through for a long time. This episode is based
32
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.800
on my new book, The Second Incursion, Fallen Beings, Giants
33
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.400
and What Walks among Us Still uh, it's not yet.
34
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.120
It's not out yet, but it will be soon. This
35
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.479
is not just a book about giants, and it's not
36
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.840
a book about cryptids. It is not just a book
37
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.159
about the Book of Enoch and the Divine Council, dogmen,
38
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.000
go demons, or the weird stuff that makes your pastor
39
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:25.520
start checking for the exits. It is about the war
40
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.360
behind the war. It is about the supernatural worldview of
41
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.960
the Bible and trust me, folks, there is a supernatural worldview.
42
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.000
It is about the possibility that Genesis six was not
43
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.879
an isolated event but a pattern. And if that was
44
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.080
a pattern, then we need to ask whether that pattern
45
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:54.680
repeated after the flood. Because the Bible tells us there
46
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.520
were giants before the flood, but it also tells us
47
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:05.599
there were sis after the flood. The question is how
48
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.280
as the flood judge the corrupted world. If the Nephelm died,
49
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.919
if the watchers were imprisoned, then where did the post
50
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:21.720
flood giants tribes come from? Where did the Anakin come from?
51
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:30.600
The Rafayen, the Emmine, the zamumin og of Bashon, Goliath, Goliath,
52
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.600
Goliath and his brothers? And why do the nations of
53
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.560
the world preserve memories of giants, gods, monsters, hybrid beings,
54
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:47.000
hidden peoples, and things that live at the margins? This
55
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:52.399
episode is the doorway into that argument. Okay, so let's
56
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:57.720
start where most people do not start. Let's start before Noah.
57
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.920
Let's start before the flood. Let's start in the council chamber,
58
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.680
the world behind the world, right where there's a meeting.
59
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.439
At the beginning of the Book of Job, most people
60
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:19.639
read Job and focus immediately on the suffering, and understandably so,
61
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:27.040
Job loses everything, his children, his wealth, his health, his status.
62
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.480
His friends show up and basically become the first recorded
63
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:36.439
the Theology podcast panel Gone Wrong. Right. But before all
64
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.759
of that, there is a scene in heaven. The sons
65
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.720
of God come to present themselves to God or Yahweh,
66
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.399
whatever you want to call, and among them comes the adversary.
67
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.839
That scene matters, at least to me, because it tells
68
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.720
you something. It tells us something most modern Christians have
69
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.920
forgot gotten, or maybe they never even learned. The Bible
70
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.120
does not describe a lonely, empty spiritual realm where God
71
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.839
exists at the top, humans exist at the bottom, and
72
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.879
everything else is just vague angel stuff floating around with
73
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:22.879
harps and precious moments faces right. The Bible describes a
74
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:30.879
populated cosmos, a divine council, a heavenly court, spiritual beings
75
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:38.319
with real, actual agency, real assignments, real authority, and in
76
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:44.600
some cases, real rebellion. Psaw maybe two says God stands
77
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:50.240
in the divine council and judges among the gods. Deuteronomy
78
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.720
thirty two says when the Most High divided the nations.
79
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.160
He fixed their borders according to the number of the
80
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.600
Sons of God. Job shows the sons of God presenting
81
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:10.360
themselves before Yahweh before God. Daniel shows angelic conflict involving
82
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.279
the Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece. Paul
83
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:22.079
talks about rulers, authorities, principalities, powers, thrones, and dominions. This
84
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.839
is not decorative language, folks. This is the operating system
85
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.759
of the bibrical worldview. And once you see it, a
86
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.480
lot of strange passages start. And are they stop becoming strange,
87
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.839
they become connected. Genesis six is one of those passages.
88
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.439
And the sons of God saw the daughters of man
89
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.240
were beautiful, and they took wives from whomever they chose.
90
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.879
The result the enoughhe the mighty men of old, men
91
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:03.000
of renown, freaking giants, folks. Violence fills the earth, corruption
92
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.680
fills the earth, and then comes the flood. Now, modern
93
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.720
Christianity has often tried to explain this away. Some say
94
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.800
the sons of God were just the godly line of
95
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.079
Seth marrying the ungodly line of Cain. That interpretation has
96
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.519
been around a very long time, but it has a
97
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:33.159
big problem. A big one. Normal human men marrying normal
98
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.200
human women do not produce freaking giants. You can get
99
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.399
bad families that way. Of course, you can get thanksgiving
100
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.080
arguments that require freaking calls to law enforcement. You can
101
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.000
get generational dysfunction and people who put raisins. This is
102
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.840
a true story, put raisins and potato salad. But you
103
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:05.399
do not get freakin' nephelin. The older supernatural reading is
104
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:10.320
much cleaner. Divine beings crossed a boundary they were never
105
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.840
allowed to cross. They took human women, they produced offspring.
106
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:21.000
Those offspring were not fully human, and the world became
107
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:27.000
corrupted at a level that required God's judgment. That's the
108
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:34.360
first incursion. But this book asked the next question, was
109
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.440
there a second one? The flood did not end everything.
110
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:43.879
The flood was not random rage. It was judgment, yes,
111
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:51.240
But it was also rescue. It preserved Noah and his family.
112
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.639
The scripture says Noah was blameless in his generations. That
113
00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:00.159
phrase matters. It does not only refer to moral behavi
114
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:08.879
It carries the idea of lineage. Noah's line was intact, uncorrupted, preserved.
115
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.519
Why does that matter? Because Genesis three point fifteen had
116
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.240
already promised that the seed of the Woman would crush
117
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:23.879
the head of the serpent. The Messianic line had to
118
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.679
remain human. If the human blood line could be corrupted
119
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.840
beyond repair, then the promised seed could be attacked before
120
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.600
he ever arrived. That is why Genesis six is not
121
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:42.639
a weird mythological sidebar folks. It is a war move.
122
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.159
It is a war move. The Watcher rebellion was not
123
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:52.320
just lust, it was strategy. It targeted the human line,
124
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:59.159
It targeted the covenant promise, It targeted the future arrival
125
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:05.759
of Jesus Christ. The flood ended that world. It killed
126
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.679
the Nephlum, all of them. It judged the corrupted earth,
127
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.639
and according to the New Testament and the Enochic tradition,
128
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:21.480
the angels who committed that sin were imprisoned. Jude says
129
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:27.399
they did not stay within their proper domain. Tewod Peter
130
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.519
says God did not spare the angels when they sinned,
131
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.039
but cast them into gloomy darkness to be kept until judgment.
132
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.320
So the Watchers were bound, some of them in different places.
133
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.159
But I'm not going into that in this episode. Some
134
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.080
wild stuff, but it's and it's pretty cool. The Nephilm died,
135
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.080
the world was reset through Noah. Case closed right, right,
136
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:59.399
Not exactly, because after the flood, the Bible still has giants,
137
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:07.679
I mean not vague giants, not metaphorical giants, named tribes,
138
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.919
named places, named battles, The Anakine, the Refae, the Emmine,
139
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:19.080
the zamamene og of Bashian Goliath, the sons of Rapha,
140
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:25.559
the conquest. Narratives are full of this material, right, which
141
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:30.600
brings us to the central problem. If the preflood Nephilm
142
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.759
died in the flood and the watchers were all imprisoned,
143
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:42.399
then where did the post flood giants come from. Some
144
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.600
people say one of the wives of on the Arc
145
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.360
must have carried Nephelin dna. I mean, maybe, maybe that
146
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.639
is one theory, but I do not think it is
147
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.639
the strongest one, because the Bible gives us another major
148
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:06.120
events after the flood. Babel and Babel is not just
149
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:10.159
the story of people building a tall tower. It is
150
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:16.279
the moment the nations are divided, now, the moment God
151
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:21.600
disinherits the nations, the moment the peoples are allotted to
152
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:29.519
the sons of God. Deuteronomy thirty two says when the
153
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:36.879
Most High gave the nations their inheritance. When he divided mankind.
154
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.039
He fixed the borders of the peoples according to the
155
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:47.120
number of the sons of God. But Yahweh's portion, God's
156
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:53.840
portion was his people. Jacob has allotted heritage. That means
157
00:13:53.879 --> 00:14:00.240
after Babel, the nations were placed under spiritual administration, and
158
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.480
Psalm eighty two tells us those beings failed, straight up failed.
159
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:12.120
They judged, they judged unjustly, they accepted worship, they corrupted
160
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:16.440
their assignments. So here is the argument of the book.
161
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:22.320
After Babel, the territory territorial sons of God repeated the
162
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.960
Genesis six pattern in their own domains. Not the same watchers,
163
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:33.399
not the same pre flood line, a new post flood incursion,
164
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.919
a second incursion, And that may explain why the giant
165
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.639
tribes appeared geographically concentrated in the territories Israel is commanded
166
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.039
to confront. Canaan. Was not just real estate, it was
167
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.919
occupied territory. The conquest was not ethnic cleansing, It was
168
00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:01.200
spiritual eviction. The land God had claimed for his covenant
169
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.879
people had been polluted by illegal spiritual powers and their offspring.
170
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.840
That is why the giant clans matter. That is why
171
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.120
Odd matters. That is why Goliath matters. And they are
172
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:21.240
not random tall dudes. Okay, They are the residue of
173
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:25.000
a rebellion that survived the flood by repeating itself after
174
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:30.240
Babel the nations and their gods. This is where the
175
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.519
Divine Council worldview becomes essential, because without it, the Old
176
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:43.039
Testament becomes flat. God versus humans Israel versus nations, good
177
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.559
people versus bad people. But the Bible gives us a
178
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.159
deeper structure than nations are not merely politically rebellious, they
179
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:58.440
are spiritually governed. Behind the idols are real powers. Paul
180
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:04.440
says in One Corinthians that what pagan sacrifices they sacrifice
181
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.440
to demons and not to God. That does not mean
182
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.080
the statues are real gods. It means something real stands
183
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.919
behind the worship system. The idol is wood or stone,
184
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:21.559
but the power behind it is not imaginary. That is
185
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.639
why the Bible mocks idols and also warns against demons.
186
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.919
Both are true. The statue is nothing, the being behind
187
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:38.080
the worship is something. This explains why mythologies around the
188
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:43.240
world are not random. They preserve distorted memories of real
189
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:48.240
spiritual administration. The Norris remember giants. The Greeks remember titans
190
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:55.039
and hybrid beings. The Mesopotamians remember Apollion and Anunaki, the
191
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.240
monstrous beings from the deep. The Egyptians remember god gods
192
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.000
with animal heads. The Hindus remember divas and asuras and nagas.
193
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.599
I mean they have elephant gods, okay. The Celtic world
194
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.720
remembers fay, hidden people and beings who lived under hills.
195
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:20.400
Native traditions preserve stories of forest beings and little people,
196
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:25.119
water beings, sky beings, and giants. Now, I am not
197
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.519
saying every story is equally true. I am not saying
198
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:39.799
every myth is spiritual. I'm not saying every myth is scripture.
199
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.400
I'm not saying every ancient culture had the full picture.
200
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:49.319
That is why the book uses five lanes of evidence.
201
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:54.319
Canonical scripture is the foundation. Second Temple literature helps us
202
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:59.799
understand how ancient Jews read these things. Myth and folk
203
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:07.839
or preserve patterns history testimony preserves encounter traditions. Modern synthesis
204
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.960
is where we build a framework carefully and honestly, with
205
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.599
the labels still on. The claim is not that mythology
206
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.039
is equal to the Bible. The claim is that if
207
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:24.400
deuterontomy thirty two is true, then we should expect the
208
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:29.640
nations to preserve distorted spiritual memories. And that is exactly
209
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:35.519
what we find. Giants, hybrids, animal human entities, serpent beings,
210
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.799
goat beings, lion men, hidden peoples, forest people, water beings,
211
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:47.559
divine rebels, flood stories, boundary crossings, forbidden knowledge. It shows
212
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.519
up everywhere. And I've talked about this ad nauseum, and
213
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.279
I'm sorry if you sick of it, I apologize. The
214
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.079
modern world looks at that and says, isn't it interesting
215
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.799
that humans made up similar stories. The biblical worldview asks
216
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:08.000
a different question. What if they are not all making
217
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:14.559
it up? What if the pattern exists because something actually happened,
218
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.319
and it happened to everybody. What if mythology is not
219
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:25.559
pure fiction? What if it is memory after babble garbleed, Sure,
220
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:32.680
territorial possibly yes, corrupted, I'm pretty sure, right, but still
221
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:40.799
remembering something real what they made. Now we get into
222
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.359
the part of the book that will probably get me
223
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:48.559
invited to shewer church potlucks. Okay to say the least,
224
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:54.160
because the argument does not stop with giants. The manuscript
225
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:59.119
also explores what I call theory on beings. Now, people
226
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.559
are going to be like the from Revelation, and that's fine,
227
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.680
But I'm using the word theoryon comes from Greek and
228
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.000
means beast or wild animal. I'm using it as a
229
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.559
technical term in the book, not because the Bible gives
230
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.200
us a formal species category called theory on, but because
231
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:29.519
beast language carries a deep Biblical pattern wildness, predation, chaos,
232
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:35.039
and corrupted dominion, opposition to God's ordered creation. That there's
233
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.119
a whole lot of that, right. The theory on category
234
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:44.839
is my term for beast kind corruptions, not human and
235
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.799
not angel, I mean sort of angel, but not normal animal,
236
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:58.000
not God, something else, a fifth anthropological category. Now, where
237
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.319
does that idea come from? Part of it comes from
238
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:06.000
First Enoch seven, where the giants are described as sinning
239
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:10.960
against birds, beasts, reptiles, and fish. That is one of
