Nephilim

In those primitive times of long, long ago when behemoths wandered the land when mankind was wicked and ruthless and raw and battles were ever at hand. An unruly unrest reigned on the earth and rebellion was wild and free for God turned His back on the people he made and regretted what they came to be. On the blackest of nights, on the darkest of days fallen angels were cast from the skies then entering into the daughter's of men a new race began from on high. So the Nephilim roamed, those aliens of old a people of lusts and desires warriors all, great giants so tall reigning with blood lust and fire. A ruthless tribe, with dark hearts inside in chaos, they spread misery and hate but in due time, God's patience was tried hence, the Great Flood would seal their fate. In a humbler man, a new chapter began for in Noah, God renewed all mankind with a rainbow so bright, and a heavenly light filled with hope and new promises to find. Written on 1/10/2018

This is great, Laura. They didn't get a lot of pagetime in the Old Testament, but certainly fascinate people. A great write, and I'm sure will do well. Viv x

This is a wonderful write, Laura ... the thing I find particularly interesting about the Nephilim are the many translations that refer to them as angelic beings that mated with humans, clearly as NON-human and from the heavens. Many books OTHER than the Bible as well, and texts from multiple time periods. I believe Ridley Scott is very interested in the same, (has written about it), and included story lines in Prometheus and Covenant. Really fascinating! Loved this - best of luck in contest! :-)
