Judgment of the Nephilim

Very well presented and readable. Can’t wait to get “The Final Nephilim”. The author also has a great Thursday night live bible study on YouTube which is definitely worth watching.

I ordered this book and listened to it on audible and was so fascinated by the content and scholarship, I ordered it on kindle so I could actually read it, and then ordered it in paperback so I could share it. This is one of those books where you find yourself saying "wow" and "that's amazing" and "I didn't know that" and "why didn't I know that?" and "the spiritual world of the Bible makes so much more sense" over and over again, which I rarely, if ever, do with a book. As a researcher myself, I was amazed at how well documented this book was, which is important because the topic is so sensationalized, and also it is biblically based, which was important to me. That said, I highly recommend this book if you want to learn about the fallen angels of Genesis 6 and the consequences throughout history. Further, there is a study guide at amazon by the author as well as numerous videos and interviews with the author that are available on YouTube.

To be honest, I didn't expect much of this book; one reason being that everyone has been jumping on the Nephilim bandwagon as of late, with one author saying very little different from the last author on the subject, with the exception of Dr. Michael Heiser. I decided to give it a chance and see if I could learn anything more in depth on the subject. Within a few chapters I realized that I was being taken deeper, both on the subject of the Nephilim, and of the very reasons that the Old Testsment stories were recorded and handed down the way they were.By the middle of the book, it was clear to me that I had never truly understood much of the Old Testament, and despite the fact that I have been a believer since 1972 and have a good grasp of the Bible, I will go so far as to say that it cannot be truly and thoroughly understood until you read this book.That seems like a pretty bold, and perhaps, emotional statement. An I saying that because I enjoyed the book so much? Well, yes, I did enjoy it enormously - Mr. Pitterson weaves the tale of the history of God's people and the enemies they faced, both smoothly and skilfully. He references Scripture to set the stage for the premises he presents, as well as to serve as verification of what was really happening in those (seemingly) familiar old Bible stories. The scholarship Mr. Pitterson cites comes heavily from 19th-century Bible scholars; all very astute, knowledgeable, and clearly well-grounded theologically. There is not one miss-step in the book.I also appreciated the fact that Mr. Pitterson used Bible passages exactly as they should be used; to strengthen, support, and clarify one's thesis, and not as multi-page filler to divert attention away from mediocre writing and weak arguments. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and thank its author profusely, as I came away with an understanding of the Old Testament, and indeed, of Salvation history, that will never leave me.

If you've never read a book on this subject, this is probably the best one available. There are others more sensational, with more visual aides, more wild speculations of the sort that appeal to a modern readership not well grounded in the scripture. This volume is the most Biblical in its approach, and thus the most accurate when it stays within true scripture. I've studied this subject for at least 35 years, and read more than a few of the dozens and dozens of books on angels, women and giants, some from a Christian perspective, some not. This book was needed , for in spite of so many authors with good intentions, most of these other works are promotions for heretical and fictional works purporting to be lost books of the Bible or at least written by persons mentioned in scripture. The author does a great service in comparing garbage like the so called books of Enoch and Jasher with the scripture, bringing out their contradictions, heretical and foolish teachings and their worthlessness as reliable sources. Comparing scripture with scripture and giving heed to every word, it is obvious angels left their first estate, married human women and had offspring that were evil giants. It really doesn't matter how many experts and godly men one quotes on either side of the argument. Comparing scripture with scripture, this is the teaching of the Bible.Mr. Pitterson gave some interesting observations about Cain's descendants, why their genealogy abruptly stops, why certain people receive special mention etc. His observations of certain post flood characters and events are well thought out and presented scripturally as well. Pitterson's main flaws occur as with anyone who departs from scripture. His book is peppered throughout with reference to "the rapture' and "great tribulation" and the usual arminian and dispensational viewpoint. Given that over 90% of professing Christianity buys into this nonsense (myself included for most of my life), it is forgivable and understandable. I would like to challenge any Christian who thinks the temple described in the last chapters of Ezekiel is some future and literal building to be used during "the millennium" to explain Ezk. 46:20 in light of the New Testament. There are no more sin offerings people. Jesus Christ put an end to all these physical figures and types.Finally, Pitterson has a habit of quoting the so called LXX, calling it the most ancient version of the scripture, repeating the usual nonsense about it dating 300 years before Christ and being quoted by Jesus and the apostles. Is Mr. Pitterson quoting a BC LXX? Of course not! The version he's quoting was written at least 200 years after Christ, as ALL versions of the LXX are AD! For an excellent and scholarly (one of modern Christianity's favorite words) study of the so called LXX, please see John Owen's Biblical Theology, in the 14th chapter, Digression on the Septuagint Greek Version. Owen shows how utterly worthless and corrupt this version is and the myths surrounding its origins.Criticisms aside, overall this is a good biblical study of an important and controversial subject, based on the text of the Authorized Version of Scripture. Recommended.

Mind blowing for anyone who happens to want to learn more about history and Gods goodness. Perfect read, loved it.

The Bible interprets the Bible. What a wonderful example. I have been a follower of Bible prophecy for 39 years and have read many books on the subject. This is definitely one of the most amazing I've ever read.

The author too often goes beyond his subject to assert personal beliefs he doesn't back with any biblical support or study.

O livro é esclarecedor a respeito dos gigantes citados no AT, da origem dos demônios, da circunstância do Dilúvio. Vale muito a pena a leitura.

Excelente libro, muy bien documentado.

This study gives a clear picture of God's work and Satan's counter attacks. Joined many things which I heard from childhood into one event that is happening even in this generation. Great 👌🏼
