Mysterious Nephilim
It is written, in ancient scrolls
of mankind's beginnings
so very long ago
and the strange beginnings
that surround these times.
Times where the sons of God
entered into the daughters
of men, surmised to be
fallen angels from heaven.
This union brought forth
Nephilim, great giants
the mighty men of old
warriors, fierce fighters, all.
Men of bloodshed and war.
These powerful super humans
like mythical Greek gods were
savage, instinctual, incredible
a glorious race were they.
Yet God chose not to use
their god-like powers
but instead, a mere mortal
a humble man named Noah.
Yes, it was he who would
fulfill God's great plan.
For wicked man had
corrupted the land
the Nephilim included.
Over the course of
one hundred years
the ark was built with
Noah's hard work and sweat.
He preached and tried to warn
the people to turn back
to God, to repent!
Except for eight righteous
people and some animals
all perished, for the
Great Flood wiped out
the earth of all the living.
From that time on
the ancient legacy of
the Nephilim, those
mighty men of old
is shrouded in mystery
cloaked in a hidden
portal of man's history.
