one could go back and forth on trying to decypher the exact meaning but i think we both are in agreement on our understanding of the 2.
1) fallen ones/fallen from the sky/fallen from the heavens.

2) offspring/ hybrid/giants.

the 2nd is the subject of the post.
Yes im definitely in agreement with you.

Revelation 19:13-15:, "And He was wrapped in a tallit dipped in blood, and the Name of Him is called: Yahshua--The Salvation of Yahweh. And the armies in heaven clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him upon white horses, And out of His mouth goes a sharp, two-edged sword, that with it He should strike the nations; and He will rule over them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Yahweh."

The future time is prophesied when Jesus will rough up his enemies.

Now, it is time for the free gospel offer of mercy and pardon and salvation.

The contemporary gospel as prophesied by Isaiah in the 8th and 7th centuries B.C....

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,
Call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts:
And let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him;
And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:6–7

The nephilim are a pretty hot topic today. Do any of you think we may still have giants walking around today?
Dan 2v43: "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." (with Gen 6v1-8)

Dan 2v43 has a yet future filfillment!

Thank you. I will accept any compliments I can get. :)
Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. - Romans 13:7

Yes, let likes and reputation points abound. Let there be honors where honors are due.

My observation at times has been that the pursuit of honor motivates people more than the pursuit of money.

On the other hand, people are very averse and sensitive to shame and even a hint of dishonor.

Praise, honor and worship relative to God is a separate but related topic.

How does Daniel's interpretation of the Statue of Nebuchadnezzer have anything to do with Giants from Gath?

This verse is part of the description of the status ole Neb had in his dream....

[FONT=&quot]There is a difference between a giant and a Nephilim. Not all giants were Nephilim. Nephilim were part human, part angel. They were evil as were their fathers (fallen angels). There strength and stature was due to the fact that they were fathered by angels. During the great flood the Nephilim were destroyed. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Any giants there after are not related to Nephilim. Goliath was a giant who was 9’5”. He came from a very tall tribe of people. Today there are very tall people, who come from families that are also very tall. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Although many of the very tallest people recorded grow so large due to some kind of genetic disorder, not because they come from a tall family. Interestingly one of Goliath’s family members had six fingers and toes on each hand and foot. So something was wrong with his genetic makeup. (1 Chronicles 20:5-7)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]How tall do you have to be to be a giant? If my mom who is 5” tall was standing in a crowd of professional basketball players I think she would feel like she was surrounded by giants.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot](1 Samuel 17:4, 5)[/FONT][FONT=&quot] . . .Then a champion came out from the camps of the Phi·lis′tines; his name was Go·li′ath, from Gath, and his height was six cubits and a span. [SUP]5[/SUP] He had a helmet of copper on his head, and he was wearing a coat of mail of overlapping scales. The weight of the copper coat of mail was 5,000 shekels.[/FONT]

Goliath and his people are said to come from Crete. interesting that the Greeks said Crete was the home of the titans, heaven/earth hybrids just like our neph hybrids. the name "goliath" roughly means ravaging spirits. I think there is a lot more to Goliath than just being tall.

Righteous men of God intermarried with idol worshippers and their offspring were 'great warriors'. It is a Hebraism for warrior not an actual giant. Since the righteous interbread w unbelievers which went against Gods instruction, they had to then contend w the constant fighting among the Semitic peoples... Which continues to this day.

Large portions of Crete has been excavated by archeologists. No giants...unless you think there were giants living in tiny houses.

archeology is based on theory mostly. kinda like an educated guess. Socrates, thelese and archimedes are some of the people i was referring to that believed lots of odd things about ancient crete. i would feel like an idiot to assume they were simple minded fools. just saying
