Ok Major, let’s start at the beginning:
Genesis 6:1-4 (KJV) And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
The original says נְּפִלִ֞ים"Nephilim" and is just the plural of "nephil". נְפִל nphiyl (nef-eel')from 5307; properly, a feller, i.e. a bully or tyrant:—giant.
This word comes from naphal naw-fal' a primitive root; to fall, in a great variety of applications (intransitive or causative, literal or figurative):—be accepted, cast (down, self, (lots), out), cease, die, divide (by lot), (let) fail, (cause to, let, make, ready to) fall (away, down, -en, -ing), fell(-ing), fugitive, have (inheritance), inferior, be judged (by mistake for 6419), lay (along), (cause to) lie down, light (down), be (X hast) lost, lying, overthrow, overwhelm, perish, present(-ed, -ing), (make to) rot, slay, smite out, X surely, throw down.
You cannot get away from the original language. Here are ALL the OT verses on this phrase: Sons of God (ben Elohim).
Genesis 6:2 (KJV) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:4 (KJV) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
Job 1:6 (KJV) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1 (KJV) Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Job 38:7 (KJV) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Using scripture itself, you cannot translate it any other way. Then when you get into the Hebrew the word for giants is "the fallen ones" nefelim.
As kings and priests we need to understand the scriptures and how they relate to the world and vice versa. It's no wonder the world doesn't listen to us, they cannot understand the Scriptures without the Holy Spirit and too many cannot understand them to explain the truth and possibilities of events from the Scriptures that explain mysteries found in the world. Christians reject dinosaurs because they don't exist today, yet there's tons of fossils. We see with our spiritual eyes and they see with their physical eyes. Both groups have shortcomings, but we as Christians have the Holy Spirit to teach us in all truth, but too many don't even want to understand science because "it's evil and rejects God" so learn it and show them!
So what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah was more than just homosexuality.
Jude 1:7 (KJV) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Some will say "it's just the same sex" but it says different, other or strange in Greek. Or they knew the two men were not human from experience, but that takes faith to believe such a thing. But then we have Gen 6:4 KJV as an explanation. I'm not expert, but it makes perfect sense to me because whereas God creates (bara) Satan can only imitate. What better way to imitate than Dolly the sheep! Mixing different flesh (you see it in all the movies today - Spiderman, Heroes, X-Men, Thor, even the Spielberg's movie Taken, which fit perfectly into this scenario.) Anyhow, in the end, it is what it is, however one chooses to understand the information presented.
False logic: Bad boys of Cain mate with the good girls of Seth and produce giants! Hmmm... Human + Human = Giant? I think not. Well, the world has accepted them as aliens (Stargate, Ancient Aliens - History Channel, et al) but we Christians demand that they're only humans. Yet at the same time, logically, we throw out the door logic by believing in talking donkeys, bringing back people from the dead, men walking on water, teleportation (Philip), levitation (Enoch, Elijah and Jesus ascending), axe heads floating on water and wood sinking... Look at what they did to stenographer for the Congress the other day. After declaring that God will not be mocked three times they took her off to the hospital - not the police station! I mean it just goes on and on, yet when we bring in the deceiver and his activities, "OH NO! That's not possible!"
In the original Hebrew there's a very curious word, highlighted, in these verses:
Isaiah 26:14 (YLT) Dead--they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
Isaiah 26:19 (YLT) `Thy dead live--My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
The word is Raphaim. Rapha means "to cure" or "to cause to heal" and the "im" is like the "s" in cars. So why is this plural word for cures translated as dead? This word is found only eight times in the Scriptures and here are the other six. I use Young’s Literal Translation so you can see the word translated death in the KJV:
Job 26:5 (YLT) The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
Psalms 88:10 (YLT) To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah.
Proverbs 2:18 (YLT) For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.
Proverbs 9:18 (YLT) And he hath not known that Rephaim [are] there, In deep places of Sheol her invited ones!
Proverbs 21:16 (YLT) A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.
Isaiah 14:9 (YLT) Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations.
Notice something about these... they are NOT going to see the resurrection. Yet Revelation says the dead will rise for judgment, why not these? What's so unique about these dead that by their demise we have a "cure"!? Why is it God didn't send a preacher to Sodom or Gomorrah? Why weren't Noah's brothers and sisters saved? Why was Noah "perfect" in his "generation"? (The word perfect is "complete perfection", but he was a sinner like us... so what else can it mean? "Generation" is the same root word as "genetics".) Why no mercy for those living in Canaan? Doesn't seem like a loving God. Because of these unnatural beings! God said ALL FLESH was spoiled! Gen 6:12 KJV. The word for "violence" is also the word for "damaged"! Literally "all flesh is filled with damage"! What better way to attack the prophecy of Gen 3:15 KJV than to mess with the seed line of the Messiah! And notice the devil has a "seed"!
King Og was the last of the giants and he was 15 feet tall - a remnant of the Nephalim - "fallen ones". If a bad person has a child with a good person, as many believe Gen 6:4 KJV refers to, there'd be giants all over the world today. But the tallest man ever recorded is 8 feet 3 inches. Hmmm... something's not right then. Why is it so hard to believe the word of God? "But there's no marriage in heaven" Matthew 22:30 (KJV) That's right, but it doesn't say they can't do evil as the fallen angels have done. Marriage is a ceremony not just the act of mating. Why are these particular fallen angels in prison and not all?
Jude 1:6 (KJV) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Are not all fallen angels (demons) who "kept not their first estate"? Why then do demons freely roam the earth today? They're not in prison. So why then? What was so special about these fallen angels? In the absence of specific information, one must then conclude that they are those fallen angels (Nephalim - fallen ones) who mated, illegally, with humans to produce giants. It's logical and makes perfect sense with the information we have from the Scriptures.
As I've shown in the above list of verses, the "sons of God" are all angles. Man wasn't present at the foundation of the earth so how can they sing for joy? I just don't get how people cannot believe all of the Scriptures and yet hold onto other supernatural events. Of all the stories of evil in the OT, Jesus picked both Noah and Lot as a sign for the last days. While I believe it is indeed because they were evil, both also refer to "strange flesh" and "fallen ones". These hybrids are a result of what we call today genetic manipulation. We are taking DNA from different species and quickly mixing all kinds of flesh to make unnatural creatures. Just look at the glowing pigs in Taiwan. So much of what we eat today is GMO (genetically modified foods) and they're causing real issues like food allergies. The GMO wheat in China has created superbugs they are unable to kill. Today if you don't want a girl, we can tweak the process... what green eyes in your children, no problem. Someday soon, someone will try to mix a spider and a human in an attempt to make a superhuman. Don't think it's possible? Read in the BBC about the spider-goat!
Does anyone today not believe that Hollywood is run by the devil? Look at the movies and songs he's putting out. If you dare, read the lyrics of Katy Perry's song E.T. Here's the important part:
You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
They say, be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
Kiss me, kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, take me
Wanna be your victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your laser
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
Hmmm... sounds like Gen 6:4 KJV to me... What more evidence do you need then from the actions of the devil? Stick with the Scriptures not theology!
I found this verse that helps with this understanding. Psalms 22 is clearly talking about the Lord's crucifixion. But this verse stands out.
Psalms 22:12 (DBY) Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.
Psalms 22:12 (YLT) Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
Both of these translations are closest to the original Hebrew; no inserted extra text. And reading this I remembered King Og of Bashan - the remnant of the giants!
Deuteronomy 3:10-11 (KJV) All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
Numbers 21:33-34 (KJV) And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
Which leads to the question, why would a prophecy about Jesus' death on the cross involve the land where the giants resided? The word for "Mighty ones" in Psa 22:12 is אַבִּירabbiyr meaning angel, bull, chiefest, mighty (one), stout(-hearted), strong (one), valiant. The root word of this is אָבַרabr meaning to soar; fly. I see this verse as another clue to the giants and what they represent and that is, Satan's attempt at changing what God created: man. In the spirit realm it's a certainty that Satan and his minions were present at the crucifixion thinking they had won.
Some events we're familiar with:
Christians: celebrate the virgin birth of Jesus and a few months later His death and resurrection
Jews: celebrate the miraculous death of the firstborn of Egypt
Islam: the visitation of an "angel" to Mohammed
Mormons: the visitation of that same "angel" to Joseph Smith
Might not these "visitations" also be still happening today? Certainly. How do you think knowledge is increasing? Study the ancient ruins of Peru attributed to the Inca were in fact made by "someone" with far more technology/understanding that we do today. Engineers freely admit they cannot build the pyramids today. The book of Enoch (quoted by Jude) tells of "angels" giving information to humans about the secrets of the universe. It's all around us, but we don't see it in Scripture even though it's written there.
Right or wrong, these are quotes from ancient extra-biblical text (Jasher being mentioned in the Scriptures and Enoch quoted in the Scriptures):
Jubilees 7:21-22 For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the Torah of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. And they begat sons the Naphidim, and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Naphil, and the Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man another.
Enoch 7:1-15 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children. Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime. But they answered him and said; We all swear; And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking. Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of mount Armon. That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, and bound themselves by mutual execrations. These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. And the women conceiving brought forth giants, Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labour of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them; And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood. Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.
Jasher 5:12-25 Noah the son of Lamech refrained from taking a wife in those days, to beget children, for he said, Surely now God will destroy the earth, wherefore then shall I beget children? And Noah was a just man, he was perfect in his generation, and the Lord chose him to raise up seed from his seed upon the face of the earth. And the Lord said unto Noah, Take unto thee a wife, and beget children, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation. And thou shalt raise up seed, and thy children with thee, in the midst of the earth; and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old. And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight years old, when he took Naamah for a wife. And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Japheth, saying, God has enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived again and bare a son, and he called his name Shem, saying, God has made me a remnant, to raise up seed in the midst of the earth. And Noah was five hundred and two years old when Naamah bare Shem, and the boys grew up and went in the ways of the Lord, in all that Methuselah and Noah their father taught them. And Lamech the father of Noah, died in those days; yet verily he did not go with all his heart in the ways of his father, and he died in the hundred and ninety-fifth year of the life of Noah. And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy years, and he died. And all the sons of men who knew the Lord, died in that year before the Lord brought evil upon them; for the Lord willed them to die, so as not to behold the evil that God would bring upon their brothers and relatives, as he had so declared to do. In that time, the Lord said to Noah and Methuselah, Stand forth and proclaim to the sons of men all the words that I spoke to you in those days, peradventure they may turn from their evil ways, and I will then repent of the evil and will not bring it. And Noah and Methuselah stood forth, and said in the ears of the sons of men, all that God had spoken concerning them. But the sons of men would not hearken, neither would they incline their ears to all their declarations. And it was after this that the Lord said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, on account of their evil deeds, and behold I will destroy the earth.
As to the reference of the Watchers, Daniel and Jeremiah mention them:
Daniel 4:17 (KJV) This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Jeremiah 4:16-18 (KJV) Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
Here is another interesting verse on those coming from a "far country, from the end of heaven"!
Isaiah 13:3-8 (KJV) I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness. The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
The Scriptures also mention other books such as the Book of Nathan, Book of Gad, Book of Shemaiah, Book of Jehu, Book of the Chronicles of Media and Persia, and the Book of Nahum; all not part of the Scriptures. Yet the Scriptures point us to them... "are they not written in the book of..." so, I use them as areas where explanations can be gained for what is written in the Word of God that isn't explicitly explained. Anything that contradicts the Word of God is ignored. Plain and simple. Enough scripture for you?
Genesis 6:1-4 (KJV) And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

I found this verse that helps with this understanding. Psalms 22 is clearly talking about the Lord's crucifixion. But this verse stands out.
Psalms 22:12 (DBY) Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.
Psalms 22:12 (YLT) Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
Both of these translations are closest to the original Hebrew; no inserted extra text. And reading this I remembered King Og of Bashan - the remnant of the giants!
Deuteronomy 3:10-11 (KJV) All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
Numbers 21:33-34 (KJV) And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
Which leads to the question, why would a prophecy about Jesus' death on the cross involve the land where the giants resided? The word for "Mighty ones" in Psa 22:12 is אַבִּירabbiyr meaning angel, bull, chiefest, mighty (one), stout(-hearted), strong (one), valiant. The root word of this is אָבַרabr meaning to soar; fly. I see this verse as another clue to the giants and what they represent and that is, Satan's attempt at changing what God created: man. In the spirit realm it's a certainty that Satan and his minions were present at the crucifixion thinking they had won.
Some events we're familiar with:
Christians: celebrate the virgin birth of Jesus and a few months later His death and resurrection
Jews: celebrate the miraculous death of the firstborn of Egypt
Islam: the visitation of an "angel" to Mohammed
Mormons: the visitation of that same "angel" to Joseph Smith
Might not these "visitations" also be still happening today? Certainly. How do you think knowledge is increasing? Study the ancient ruins of Peru attributed to the Inca were in fact made by "someone" with far more technology/understanding that we do today. Engineers freely admit they cannot build the pyramids today. The book of Enoch (quoted by Jude) tells of "angels" giving information to humans about the secrets of the universe. It's all around us, but we don't see it in Scripture even though it's written there.
Right or wrong, these are quotes from ancient extra-biblical text (Jasher being mentioned in the Scriptures and Enoch quoted in the Scriptures):
Jubilees 7:21-22 For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the Torah of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. And they begat sons the Naphidim, and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Naphil, and the Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man another.
Enoch 7:1-15 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children. Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime. But they answered him and said; We all swear; And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking. Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of mount Armon. That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, and bound themselves by mutual execrations. These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. And the women conceiving brought forth giants, Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labour of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them; And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood. Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.
Jasher 5:12-25 Noah the son of Lamech refrained from taking a wife in those days, to beget children, for he said, Surely now God will destroy the earth, wherefore then shall I beget children? And Noah was a just man, he was perfect in his generation, and the Lord chose him to raise up seed from his seed upon the face of the earth. And the Lord said unto Noah, Take unto thee a wife, and beget children, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation. And thou shalt raise up seed, and thy children with thee, in the midst of the earth; and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old. And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight years old, when he took Naamah for a wife. And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Japheth, saying, God has enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived again and bare a son, and he called his name Shem, saying, God has made me a remnant, to raise up seed in the midst of the earth. And Noah was five hundred and two years old when Naamah bare Shem, and the boys grew up and went in the ways of the Lord, in all that Methuselah and Noah their father taught them. And Lamech the father of Noah, died in those days; yet verily he did not go with all his heart in the ways of his father, and he died in the hundred and ninety-fifth year of the life of Noah. And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy years, and he died. And all the sons of men who knew the Lord, died in that year before the Lord brought evil upon them; for the Lord willed them to die, so as not to behold the evil that God would bring upon their brothers and relatives, as he had so declared to do. In that time, the Lord said to Noah and Methuselah, Stand forth and proclaim to the sons of men all the words that I spoke to you in those days, peradventure they may turn from their evil ways, and I will then repent of the evil and will not bring it. And Noah and Methuselah stood forth, and said in the ears of the sons of men, all that God had spoken concerning them. But the sons of men would not hearken, neither would they incline their ears to all their declarations. And it was after this that the Lord said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, on account of their evil deeds, and behold I will destroy the earth.
As to the reference of the Watchers, Daniel and Jeremiah mention them:
Daniel 4:17 (KJV) This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Jeremiah 4:16-18 (KJV) Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
Here is another interesting verse on those coming from a "far country, from the end of heaven"!
Isaiah 13:3-8 (KJV) I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness. The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
The Scriptures also mention other books such as the Book of Nathan, Book of Gad, Book of Shemaiah, Book of Jehu, Book of the Chronicles of Media and Persia, and the Book of Nahum; all not part of the Scriptures. Yet the Scriptures point us to them... "are they not written in the book of..." so, I use them as areas where explanations can be gained for what is written in the Word of God that isn't explicitly explained. Anything that contradicts the Word of God is ignored. Plain and simple. Enough scripture for you?
