I am overwhelmed. by your knowledge and ability to reach so far back in the past and make it one with our Jewish world today. This article strengthened me. We are living in very tough, scary times. Am Yisrael Chai!
Thank, you so much for your interesting/profetic essay !!!!!!.....especially at this time, when again we are fighting Antisemitism ........Am Israel Chai !!!!!!!.....
I’m brought back to third grade in an ordinary elementary school in suburban Maryland in the 1980s—not a Jewish school, which is important. Our teacher, Ms. Goldstein, showed us pictures of her trip to Israel like it was the most normal thing in the world. And it was. I grew up in that world as a non-Jew, never questioning Jewish acceptance or the legitimacy of Israel. It was a great thing and I miss it.
A passionately written article, with some lines so lyrical as to be poetic. Thank you for this. I shall reread with pleasure and give it its deserved reflection.
The claim that Nephilim just means "those who fell from the sky" and refers to the Watchers themselves misses the clear distinction in 1 Enoch. The Watchers are the Irin who fell from heaven (1 Enoch 6:6, 10:15), but their offspring are called Nephilim, meaning "fallen ones" or "those who cause others to fall," because they were born on earth with corrupted angelic traits (1 Enoch 7:2, 10:9). Joseph Malik's work shows they form a third category, neither angel nor human, due to memetic corruption of the human soul. The Enoch AI Project's analysis of 1 Enoch, 4Q201, and Genesis 6 gives 92% confidence that Nephilim refers to the giant children (300 cubits tall, 1 Enoch 7:2) and their lingering demonic spirits (1 Enoch 15:8–11), not the descending Watchers, who are called egregoroi or Irin.
Thank you for this informative piece. One of my favorite pastimes is deep research into ancient and prehistoric history. 🤓Incredibly fascinating stuff.
This article is fascinating! Thank you!

This is beautifully written. It reads like an inspiration.

Obadiah 18 can't come with enough
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, this is truly fascinating. Will be looking to read the book of Enoch now.
They certainly did! Lots of prophecy fulfilled of late regarding Israel.
Nephilim are not giants. The source of the word is Naphal - fell.
Nephilim are those who fell from the sky. Came down from heaven.

Hello there Eric, I hope you’re having a good weekend, and are well.
I’ve been reading your notes for a while now, just wanted to say thank you for always sharing something interesting.
I thought you may enjoy my approach to history, through the lens of historic books (pre 19th century):

Another proof that we never learn from history…
