Question: Question: Just now, gone through your article 'When Angels Couldn't Marry, How Could They Produce Human Giants?', and my doubts clarified, Brother. We read about giants in 2 Samuel 21:16 - 22. Shed some light on this Scripture.
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!
I thank God that you understood about the sons of God who were Giants during Noah's time and that your doubt's were clarified.
Yes we read about Giants also during David's time among the Philistines, who tried to come against David even after he had killed Goliath in his young days itself, who a little later became the King of Judah and then of the whole of the nation of Israel in the prime of his adulthood at around 30 years of age for the Glory of God.
We read about that in 2 Samuel 21:16-22 - "15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint. 16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.” 18 Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant. 19 Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 20 Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant. 21 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. 22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. "
We see in the above reading, David the King of Israel was fighting "Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant" from Philistines, who thought he could kill David because he was not able to handle this giant man for a moment of time. But immediately, Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine giant and killed him. Thank God for all the team with which we are blessed to work with. When David could not handle the enemy for a while, his fellow warriors were used by God so that David himself could humbly stay intact spiritually before God and others through his humility by acknowledging his need for others who fight the battles of God along with him.
We know that David took five smooth stones when he went to battle against Goliath, one stone for Goliath and the other four were for his Brothers who might have conveniently stayed back believing the power of their elder Brother Goliath, and thus were not present there on that day (1 Sam 17:40).
The team of warriors who fought with David their King respected his spiritual life and guidance so much, that they did not want him to come and fight with them or lose him in a dangerous situation they were, as we have seen above through the Giant slaying battle they were facing on behalf of the nation of Israel.
Thus it was those four warriors of David core team, who later when David became King of Israel, they battle against the four Philistines giants and completed the Giant slaying rout.
How tall was Goliath in reality? Normally, we equate him with a giant, as most Bible translations state that he was over nine feet tall (1 Samuel 17:4, NIV). The Masoretic Text, the Hebrew text that has long been accepted by the Jewish people, states that Goliath’s height was “six cubits and one span.” Taking a cubit to be approximately eighteen inches and a span to equal six, this figures to a height of approximately nine feet, six inches. It seems Goliath may have had some Anakim blood in him (see Deuteronomy 9:2).
Goliath's four other Brothers might have had the same gene transfer which could have made them to be the huge and powerful giants they were at that time. When people become trained warriors and gene starts to get aligned to its new found status, it starts to record the physical things of stature and the frame within to produce better copy of more powerful Giants in the succeeding generation and to give them a opportunity to excel through hard work. This is what the lineage of giants did!
The world questions the possibility of the Biblical measurement of 9 feet and above Giants. But wait, look at today's world itself, who is the tallest man in the world at present?
In fact, Guinness World Records only knows of ten confirmed or reliable cases in history reaching 8 ft or more.
The part-time farmer from Turkey was found to be a towering 246.5 cm (8 ft 1 in) in height and he took the iconic title of Tallest living man.
Two years later, the 26-year-old was measured again in Ankara, Turkey, by which time he had grown to a staggering 251 cm (8 ft 2.8 in).
Here just as Goliath in the Bible we see a classic case of Giantism, Sultan was born on 10 December 1982, but he didn’t start his incredible growth spurt until he was 10 years old.
The rest of his family, including his parents and four siblings, are all average size. I believe that this one man came apart from the rest of the family, because this one Gene could have come within his blood stream to cause a giant growth but other sibling being mixed with normal parents from other lineage, it made a difference to be the just normal like any other for all other people of his family. Sultan's unique growth and massive height, as the medical field calls it as a condition known as "pituitary gigantism", which is the result of an over-production of growth hormone.
Then, in October 2013, he finally fulfilled his dream of getting married. Sultan and Merve Dibo, who is nine years his junior and just 5 ft 9 in (1.75 metres) tall, met through a mutual friend. Merve travelled from her home of Hasaki, in Syria, to his village Dede köy in Turkey to meet him. They were married two months later.
We know that the gene of all humans have been in deterioration all the while from the day they sinned, that is why the age of humans have been reduced by God so that sufferings or curses upon them could be bore by them to a acceptable level or else everyone would not be able to live happily, but would rather choose to die (John 16:33; Matt 6:34; Gen 3:14-19; 6:3; Rom 5:12, 21; 8:20-22; Rev 9:5, 6). Ever since the days of Noah, there has been a rapid deterioration and a decline in the age limit of humans (Gen 25:7; 35:28; 47:9; 50:22, 26).
My one question is, if 8 feet and above persons could be found before our very eyes, why not at the Bible time before 3500 years or even before that, better Gene of 9 feet and above like Goliath could have grouped together to produce such Giants? The world in darkness will not want to believe everything that the Bible says, because it hates the light which it carries within it to open the spiritual eyes and heart of the people towards God (John 3:19-21).
So this again and again disproves the false theory that the sons of God who came in to daughters of men to produce giants were human-angel hybrid, but rather were perfect humans with better physical Gene of Cain lineage who mixed themselves with normal people with great spiritual Gene of faith lineage of Seth (Gen 4:16-24; 4:25-26; 5:1-32; 6:1-4; 10:8-9).
There is every easy possibility among humans, to not just better themselves through selective breeding of great stock through gene, but it is a possibility that have come to fruition even in those days of old which produced warrior giants who were deadly violent and intelligent to strategize and rule over the people of the world through violence and force.
Much Blessings....
