DWDP - Gen 6 ; 4 There were Giants in the Earth
Manage episode 515045525 series 2971303
Giants stride through ancient pages, but the real story here is how renown without righteousness corrodes a world. We open Genesis 6 and meet the Nephilim, trace the root of their name to “fallen,” and explore how demonic influence, cultural myth, and biblical testimony converge around an age swollen with power and soaked in violence. Along the way, we connect paleontology’s record of outsized creatures and the cross‑cultural memory of giants with Scripture’s concern: when strength sets the rules, humanity loses its soul.
From the “sons of God” to the flood, we unpack why God’s patience has a purpose and a limit. We consider how speculation about manipulation of mind, spirit, and even body helps modern listeners grasp the scale of corruption that preceded judgment. Then we follow the thread forward—Anakim in Canaan, Goliath before David—and see why “mighty men of old” became famous for the very traits that fractured society. Power impresses; holiness preserves. That tension sits at the heart of this conversation.
Finally, we look around our streets and screens. Entertainment normalizes what once shocked, news rounds tally violence with numbing regularity, and families carry the weight. We offer a sober, hopeful response: guard your home, tune your conscience, and set your eyes on a better horizon as Jesus warns that the world will look a lot like Noah’s days when few expect it. Listen for grounded theology, practical reflection, and a clear call to live alert and anchored. If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find a steady word in a noisy world.
