The Nephilim

Genesis 6:4 - "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."

My questions is: Who are the Nephilim?

Here is some research I found:

- Some people believe that the Nephilim are the offspring of sexual relations between fallen angels and human women. Jude 6 is often referenced as additional support when addressing the angelic realm who "...did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode..." (Jude 6). Others believe the Nephilim were giants (Nephilim means giants), men of great physical stature. Of course, this also is believed by some people who suspect that the offspring of the fallen angels and the women were those giants which they say would explain their large size.

Weird stuff huh? Well, whoever they were...God wiped them off the planet when He brought the flood.
