• Gen 6:4 . .There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward,
when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to
them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
One of the Bible's Hebrew words for "giant" is rapha' (raw-faw') which appears in
numerous places throughout the Old Testament and typically always indicates
brutish people of large physical stature. But that's not the word for giants here.
Instead it's nephiyl (nef-eel') which appears in only two verses in the entire Old
Testament; one here and the other in Numbers 13:33.
The word is somewhat ambiguous, but in this context it pertains to bullies:
especially to men famous for tyranny, e.g. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito
Mussolini, Mao Tse-tung, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe,
Muammar Gaddafi, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un.
The ambition of nephiyl is to quite dominate others. Those kinds of men don't just
want power: they want to own your soul.
Men who seek to dominate others are often the least suitable to do so; and back
there in Noah's day that was certainly true. The spiritual quality of the world built
by the governance of the nehiyl was so poor that the situation required God to step
in and do something about it.
• Gen 6:5 . . And the Lord saw that the evil of man was great in the earth, and
every imagination of his heart was only evil all the time.
That's pretty much the end result of tyranny because in order for the nephiyl's
management practices to succeed; any and all moral values but their own have be
suppressed. We don't have to look very far in our own time to see that in action;
for example Communist China's hostility towards Falun Gong.
NOTE: There is currently a really informative series on NetFlix called "How To
Become A Tyrant". It's chilling to see just how many things going on right now,
right here in the USA, are in accord with the Tyrant's playbook. The last twenty-one
months in my country have been disturbing; and to think there are yet twenty
seven more to go with the current administration.
Let me say just say this: Folks who don't think tyranny can't happen in the USA are
like a frog boiling to death by bringing its water temperature up gradually so the
poor stupid critter doesn't become alarmed.

Twins, triplets, Quadruplets, Quintuplets, Sextuplets, Septuplets, Octuplets, For GOD did Bless them to be FRUITFUL and Multiply, He bless her womb, and he bless his back. and most likely the men married the girls as soon as she got at the age to bare children, maybe beginning at 12 to 14 years of age. and the men, took as many wives as he wanted. And maybe some older women had as much as 8 girls at one time. Healthy girls, that was bless by GOD to bear children. Imagine a man married 6- 8 sisters at one time and all of them got pregnant about the same time. For GOD had bless them to be, to fill all the earth. And most likely one man might have wives young and some his wives might be a 100 years older than the man. Maybe 200 or 300 years older than her husband, and still producing babies and teaching the young sister wives, how they should act about their husbands.
