Having read Helena Blavatsky, Nicolas and Helena Roerich, Alice Bailey and Manly P. Hall over the years, I began searching on YouTube for particular subjects they had covered in their works such as Giants, Angels and the Hollow Earth. What I discovered was these authors weren't the only ones commenting on these subjects: American evangelical Christian teachers and were too, and had posted numerous videos and blogs. To name but a few of the researchers on the subject of Giants: Tim Alberino, Steve Quayle, Dr Tom Horn, Dr Michael Heiser, Jim Wilhelmsen, Gary Wayne and Chuck Missler. Also Jim Viera who is not an evangelical Christian. Many evangelical teachers believe authors such as Sir Frances Bacon[i] and those on esoteric subjects such as Helena Blavatsky are the agents of Satan and the fallen Angels. They believe that while Blavatsky et al, have been perfectly correct on a number of esoteric issues, even clarifying such issues, they have been able to do so because they are agents of Satan, for his knowledge is vast and he will attempt to pre-empt and subvert God's Plan in any way he can. For example, Alice Bailey's and the Roerichs' teachings on the return of the Christ is seen as the coming of the Anti-Christ and the Beast from the Book of Revelation, while Frances Bacon's New Atlantis is "...in many ways...a manifesto of the secret society, a public confession, though concealed in a parlance that was known only by the initiated concerning the construction of the Utopian, Christian society that would be ruled by a pagan, philosophic priesthood dedicated to the doctrine and execution of the Luciferian agenda." [ii] Concerning the Giants, Helena Blavatsky, in her book, The Secret Doctrine, gave a great deal of information. She stated that much of humankind had been of great size, and had existed on the Earth for millions of years. She said that the lack of evidence of skeletal remains was due to the fact that up until some 80,000-100,000 years ago, cremation had been the norm, and after, any remains would have been eroded by the oceans. She noted that humankind, with exceptions, had physical bodies up to 60 feet tall, reducing in size until they were between 15 - 20 feet by the time of the last major sinking of the Ruta and Daitya Islands of the Atlantean continent, some 850,000 years ago. She also states there were Atlantean's on the Earth 11,000 years ago, though she does not give their height. [iii] According to Blavatsky, the height of humankind have been steadily decreasing ever since. Many evangelical teachers also believe there were Giants in antediluvian times - and in more recent times. Their views of the history and the nature of the Giants in no way correspond to those of Blavatsky. They base their belief on several passages found in The Bible, and on related passages from apocryphal works such as 1 Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees and the Book of Giants from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Genesis 6:4, (N.I.V.[iv]) reads: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." The "days" referred to are the days before and after the Flood of Noah. Another source of information on Giants for evangelical teachers is a book written by G.H. Pember, an evangelical Christian himself, entitled, Earth's Earliest Ages, originally published in 1884. To understand the term Nephilim, we need look at two passages from The Bible, relating to the time when Moses sent his men to explore the land of Caanan. A passage from Numbers 13:33 (N.I.V.) reads, "We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." And from Deuteronomy 1:28 (N.L.T. [v]) "Where can we go? Our brothers have demoralised us with their report. They tell us, "The people of the land are taller and more powerful than we are, and their towns are large, with walls rising high into the sky! We even saw giants there - the descendants of Anak!" The Nephilim were therefore very large in size, Giants even. Most Hebrew scholars understand the term "sons of God", the benei ha'Eloihim in Hebrew, as referring to Angels.[vi] Reading the passage in Genesis 6:4 therefore leads most evangelical teachers to conclude that the Angels, two hundred of them according to 1 Enoch 7:7, had left their realm and descended to the material world and mated with human women and produced the Nephilim. According to 1 Enoch 8:1-8, these fallen Angels taught their wives and the Nephilim how to forge swords and make body armour, how to mine and to use various metals, and how to apply make up and make jewellery from precious stones and metals. They also taught them astronomy and astrology, the magical arts and gave to them secret occult knowledge. Forbidden knowledge which was then passed on to humankind. In summary: the fallen Angels had effectively corrupted the human gene pool against God's Will, and their progeny, the Nephilim, malevolent and destructive, had wreaked havoc on humankind. [vii] God, seeing the havoc, and the corruption of humankind, caused a Great Deluge to cover the Earth. He saved only Noah, his three sons and their wives because they had not been corrupted. There has been much debate amongst evangelical teachers as to how the Nephilim were present after the Flood as stated in Genesis 6:4. Some say they hid in underground tunnels while other claim there was a second Angelic incursion. Evangelical teachers point to Matthew 24:37 (N.I.V.): "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man." and say we are living in times comparable to "the days of Noah." In the End Times. And some of them also believe that the race of Giants called the Nephilim, are preparing to return to the surface of the Earth from the tunnels underground where they have lived for millennia. It is obvious that occult information is no longer the preserve of those interested or directly involved in New Age movements and mystery schools but is now being widely disseminated, in a reversed and corrupted form, by evangelical teachers, online, to their congregations, and to the wider Christian world.
