What are Nephilim? They mention them in the Bible but are they real?

That is a very interesting and awesome question! First off, Nephilim are beings in the Bible that are described in the Book of Genesis, the first book in the Old Testament, as children born from “the daughters of men” and the “sons of God.” (Genesis 6:1-4)

No one really knows who the “sons of God” are; there are many biblical scholars that have theories but the truth is that we really don’t know. At any rate, the Nephilim came into the world during the time just after Adam and Eve but before Noah. They were also described as giants because in the Book of Numbers, in the Old Testament, it says, “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." (Numbers 13:33)

So, are they real? We must accept them to be real if we believe the Bible to be true. The Bible cannot be partially true and partially not true. We must believe on faith, just like we believe in angels, that the Nephilim existed. So are they around today? Probably not. There is some speculation that because the “daughters of men” and the sons of God” chose to have children together that God used that to justify the great flood and destroyed the Nephilim.

But, if they are still around today…I think Shaquille O’Neal is one! He’s huge!!! ;)
