Summary
In our previous episode, we discussed the origins and history of giants in the biblical data. But questions remain: Did these giants remain locked in the pages of the Old Testament, or might we find them elsewhere? Did giants build megalithic structures at Tiwanaka? Did they roam the plains and woodlands of Native American soil? While we re at it, did modern American Special Forces troopers fight a literal giant in the Middle East in recent history?

If you believe the biblical record, the answer is yes.
00:00:09.960
In our previous episode, we discussed the origins and history of giants in the biblical data.
00:00:18.500
Did these giants remain locked in the pages of the Old Testament?
00:00:23.820
Did giants build megalithic structures at Tiwanaka?
00:00:27.740
Did giants roam the plains and woodlands of Native American soil?
00:00:32.140
While we're at it, did modern American Special Forces troopers
00:00:35.400
fight a literal giant in the Middle East in recent history?
00:00:41.400
and investigate stories of giants from myth and legend
00:00:46.520
and even ask one of the most important questions you might on this subject.
00:00:56.600
this is giants part two. If you haven't already watched the first episode, we talked about the
00:01:00.400
origins of the giants. There's not just some make-believe thing. If you are a Bible-believing
00:01:04.440
Christian, then giants is on the menu. Pretty much a non-negotiable. Yeah, that's right. You
1.00
00:01:10.280
can debate a little bit about maybe, you know, particular sizes and timelines and these kinds
00:01:15.380
of things, but giants are a biblical fact. But because they're a biblical fact, and if you're
00:01:25.860
then what is there to say that some of these other legends
00:01:30.300
and myths around the world that talk about giants,
00:01:33.900
How do we know that there's not at least some truth,
00:01:38.920
And what's the reasoning for there not being giants today?
00:01:50.980
but that's so moving on that's what we think it's actually gonna be inside out earth have
00:01:55.660
you all heard the inside out earth theory obviously we're not talking about this but
00:01:58.640
instead we're walking around the inside or donut earth skin that we're actually on the inside right
00:02:03.660
oh yeah that's the uh inside out earth very credible unbelievable no joel to your point i
00:02:10.000
mean so when we leave the pages of scripture to me one of the most compelling things to find
00:02:15.820
are myths and legends that seem to line up quite nicely, actually, with scripture. And they show
00:02:22.300
us that they were actually taking from the same story and they actually had similar origins. And
00:02:27.840
then they went to different places. So one of my favorite examples when this type of topic comes
00:02:32.620
up is Nimrod. And, you know, the supposed builder of the Tower of Babel, because we know that he was
00:02:37.800
the one that did find the city of Babylon. And how in most other ancient cultures in the near
00:02:44.440
in Middle East, there is some sort of Nimrod figure that features prominently and who is also
00:02:50.640
a giant. Hercules is an example. Zoroastor is another example of this. Gilgamesh? Gilgamesh
00:02:57.640
was Nimrod. Ben has said many times in my presence, Gilgamesh was Nimrod confirmed.
00:03:05.740
Yes. Now the reason that I think that- I've heard Ben say that he is Gilgamesh.
00:03:09.220
Gilgamesh. I've heard that question. Yes. His name was Nimrod Gilgamesh. No. So when you hear
00:03:18.200
about the data of Gilgamesh, he was the, he was the king of, it was Samaria at the time, or some
00:03:25.320
Mesopotamian city, but it lines up with one of the cities that's listed as the one that Nimrod
00:03:30.140
found. I believe it's Put, because he finds Put, I think. But anyway, there is a Christian
00:03:37.840
missionary who the name escapes me. Was it David Livingston? Yeah, David Livingston. Well-known
00:03:42.320
faithful brother in Christ, David Livingston, who put forward this theory that when you actually
00:03:47.800
compare the myths of the Mesopotamians to the pages of scripture with an understanding of what
00:03:54.400
Nimrod as a character actually is, a mighty hunter of men before the Lord, a mighty man, a giant,
00:04:00.960
then you actually walk away with the conclusion that the Gilgamesh character was most likely
00:04:05.860
based on Nimrod. And then you have to say, well, Nimrod was actually the one that lived in the city
00:04:11.640
that wrote the Gilgamesh epics. So what if he did go by a different name to them? And what if
00:04:18.000
actually some of their epics that we just take as, you know, the first works of fiction in human
00:04:22.780
history as actually not so fiction, where some of them are based in very real truth.
00:04:30.740
Especially following the rules of history and historiography.
00:04:34.140
from antiquity, which were not the same as today.
00:04:38.900
They'd be like, I'm now going to record for you
00:04:40.820
this 45-minute speech of this emperor verbatim.
00:05:03.720
And so Christians would call it like a hagiography, a biography of a saint that praises them
00:05:10.700
for all of the good and just doesn't mention the bad.
00:05:14.340
This is the book of Chronicles with King David.
00:05:16.920
And so that could be what the ancient Mesopotamians were doing to the character of Gilgamesh.
00:05:21.840
And they were actually showing him to be this great champion king of the world.
00:05:28.040
I mean, he built Babel and Babylon all through, even today, remains the archetypal villainous
0.96
00:05:35.540
city that is at war with the heavenly Zion. But really my point in saying all that is that we
0.68
00:05:41.900
clearly see that there is some ground for a level of belief in giant myths that are outside of
00:05:48.400
scripture that's not unwarranted and it's actually not reckless at all. It can be very fruitful.
00:05:57.920
it's your understanding that he was a really good guy, right?
00:06:03.380
Tell us about, what does it mean that he was a hunter before God?
00:06:09.520
and I can't actually remember, the Hebrew escapes me,
00:06:12.120
but I know that there's been a lot of work done
00:06:19.260
Because frankly, that sounds like a pretty awesome compliment.
00:06:24.080
the bacon. Cool. You're like, I am the guy who God's like, that guy's great at hunting. Every
00:06:28.760
Southern boy is like naming my firstborn son, Nimrod. But the problem is that the actual
00:06:34.980
implication of the name is that he was a mighty hunter of men. He was a tyrannical opponent of
00:06:41.020
Yahweh because he hastened to shed blood. And God considers that an abomination as we know from the
0.77
00:06:46.840
book of Proverbs. And so actually Nimrod was an enemy of God, which makes sense when you realize
00:06:52.720
that he founded Babylon. Because it seems to take a big turn when in Genesis 10, it's talking about
0.84
00:06:59.740
Nimrod, who is a mighty hunter before the Lord. And then in Genesis 11, it's talking about the
00:07:04.580
city that he founded, Babel, building a tower to try to usurp God's authority over earth and
00:07:10.040
thinking, well, wait, is that the same guy that's involved? But no, what's important to realize is
00:07:21.900
but also archetypal enemy of God, an enemy of God.
00:07:32.940
one of the corresponding features you find with it
00:07:57.220
And he's not just hunting men for vengeance,
0.99
00:08:10.660
that the other Sumerian character known as Zoroaster
00:08:14.040
was absolutely Nimrod. There's no question. And they have their reasons for believing this,
00:08:21.300
but the level of confidence is surprising given the subject matter that they're actually saying,
00:08:26.760
no, this confirms that this biblical account is real, that there was this man named Nimrod who
00:08:31.200
founded these cities, but they just called him Zeroster. And what's fascinating is that he had
00:08:35.860
to go through something like 11 or 12 labors on behalf of the gods. And these included,
00:08:43.200
you know, subduing a mighty ram, killing a dragon, hurting the sheep, you know, doing all these
00:08:50.900
things. And does that remind you? Reminds us of another ancient mythological figure. Hercules.
00:08:56.220
Hercules, who had to do the 12 labors. And so then they're saying, well, maybe the Greeks also had
00:09:01.000
some conception of this character. And the point is maybe before the dispersion at the Tower of
00:09:06.640
Babel, you had this guy, Nimrod, and he had to do these for whatever reason, maybe his fallen
00:09:12.360
watcher fathers were making him do these things to appease them or so that he could get the power
00:09:18.440
to build the Tower of Babel or something. Or he even boastfully claimed to have done these tasks.
00:09:24.680
And then the dispersion occurs. And now you have the seeds of what we now know as myth,
00:09:30.540
but what is actually kernels of real historical truth. And so then the question becomes, well,
00:09:36.780
who all went in the dispersion? Well, Nimrod would have been one of them, right? But who else
00:09:42.320
who else was among them? Other giants, other sort of demigod giant type people. And so now you have
00:09:49.380
these different literal giants. The Bible discusses some of them because they're directly involved in
00:09:55.160
the history of salvation of God's people. But the Bible does not have to mention every giant by name
00:10:00.560
for them to have been real. And at the dispersion of Babel, you have people going to the ends of
00:10:05.360
the earth to fill the world as God told them to. And that would include a race of giants in probably
0.96
00:10:15.380
every single ancient culture in every continent
00:10:30.560
And then also whatever the guy that tried to be
00:11:29.080
when Ben was just a glimmer in his father's eye.
00:11:37.580
that they were seafaring peoples that made it to North America.
00:11:40.420
And especially again, going back to our last episode,
00:11:43.700
when you connect the things that really genuinely are connected from scripture,
00:11:51.120
and you start to look at things like secret knowledge and higher abilities
00:11:54.540
and technological innovation, astronomy, which is related to navigation,
00:11:59.860
you start to see how you could end up with people's circumnavigate,
00:12:05.660
you know, going all the way across the Atlantic ocean or going all the way across the oceans,
00:12:09.120
making it to North America. And what's funny is, you know, year after year, we keep pushing back
00:12:14.720
the, the, the, the known history of North America before it was like, well, this person
00:12:20.660
was here first. And it was like, you know what, maybe it was Leif Erikson. And then like,
00:12:23.720
you know what I should make was this guy. And no, maybe Solomon was there with you, you know,
00:12:27.240
before, you know, fear, exactly. So that's kind of how I, I, I tend to think that there was
00:12:34.400
seafaring and that there was advanced technology you see this even with the um uh the netflix
00:12:41.040
series that's really popular right now with um what's his name graham hancock yeah and um the
00:12:46.880
common thread of the great peoples coming from the sea and giving knowledge to the to the natives
00:12:53.060
he went here he went there yeah a demigod type figure it seems like that like that could have
00:12:58.920
been nimrod too oh yeah or or similar figures yeah right absolutely i and i think a the least
00:13:05.820
ad hoc explanation to me for those kinds of stories and the ubiquity of them across cultures
00:13:10.940
that never had contact to our knowledge is that you really did have these kind of high knowledge
00:13:17.560
demigod type at least in appearance to the natives with their superior technology stature
0.80
00:13:27.580
cults. Secret knowledge like Caesarean section.
00:13:41.740
the through lines to me are compelling enough that
00:13:51.580
still quite a feat. Are you a beef jerky enthusiast? Well, then stop it. Seriously,
00:13:57.240
stop it. Because biltong is superior to beef jerky in every single way. It's a traditional
00:14:04.340
South African meat snack, but it's free from all the preservatives, the sugar, and the soy. It's
00:14:10.660
like the Wagyu of jerky. Now, here's the exciting news from Farmer Bill's Provisions. Farmer Bill's

00:16:30.840
So what's the name? I feel like you guys will know if not, then it shall remain nameless and
00:17:06.180
We think of it, you know, being, you know, this many miles wide and all this, and that's true.
00:17:10.980
But then a lot of times we just imagine that the ocean is so, so deep.
00:17:15.780
And, you know, respectively compared to us, I mean, it's not like you're not going to be able to wade through, you know, up to your ankles.
00:17:21.920
So, I mean, it's for all intents and purposes, it's pretty deep.
00:17:24.400
But there are miles, in some cases, even 50 miles or 150 miles off the coast of continental shelf before it begins to drop off.
00:17:37.200
And that for, in terms of what you can visibly see above the waterline, we're 150 miles out to sea.
00:18:22.400
we have seasons, God created the world in this way.
00:18:32.280
and there's planting and harvest, spring and fall and winter.
00:18:35.780
But the idea that there might be 500 year cycles
00:18:43.400
Exactly, of swelling up to certain temperatures, then coming back down.
00:18:47.220
Well, in an ice age, it's going to be rough to survive in many ways.
00:18:51.880
But one benefit is during an ice age, it's not just that, oh, you'd have an ice bridge across.
00:18:58.980
But with the polar caps being frozen over, all the water on the surface and the oceans are going to freeze up, collect up.
00:19:10.200
and so you're going to have an just across the average all the way around the globe you're going
00:19:15.480
to have a lower water level and and we're not talking like you don't have to have much just 50
00:19:21.260
feet lower and all of a sudden you have 150 miles out in some places that's now dry land um but but
00:19:29.720
then turn that into move not just out but then move with uh square miles you have thousands
00:20:10.680
Yeah, that even is the Siberian land bridge idea.
00:20:14.760
and all, you know, 60,000, younger dry ass.
1.00
00:20:21.040
We know this happened because we do find civilizations
00:20:48.680
and it was overcome with water in some short time.
00:21:12.040
is that there's this legend in the late Bronze Age
00:21:19.040
And it talks about how they came from the Aegean Sea
0.86
00:21:21.520
and they assaulted Egypt and they assaulted Greece,
00:21:27.780
whatever Alexander the Great called Greece, Macedon.
0.94
00:21:35.480
And then finally, Ramses III of Egypt repels them
0.99
00:21:39.060
and he traps them in a little peninsula of land
0.88
00:22:05.100
But if you go back from that and you're like,
0.95
00:22:07.620
okay, well, where could these sea peoples have come from?
0.99
00:22:10.160
One option is that they came from South America
00:22:26.240
they were approached by a group of people from the sea
00:22:29.540
who came in birds from the sea, so white-sailed ships,
00:22:38.220
as some of the most impressive megalithic structures
00:22:41.440
in the world with stones that are tens of tons heavy
00:22:52.800
which, by the way, is 200 miles from the nearest quarry.
00:23:09.860
We don't have the means to transport stones of that size.
00:23:14.920
And so the myth is that these people from the sea,
00:23:24.200
to fly the rocks up to the shores of Lake Titicaca
00:23:29.340
And so then the idea is that they dwelt there for some time.
00:23:32.080
The legend says that eventually one of the Incan princes
00:23:34.740
tries to make war against them and actually succeeds
00:23:42.180
it would actually line up quite nicely with the late Bronze Age.
00:23:45.740
And so the idea is that they were repelled from Babel at the dispersion.
0.92
00:23:49.420
They got help from their fallen ocean demon gods
0.92
00:23:57.460
if you had principalities that were overseeing their travel.
00:24:01.400
Right, we talked about, and they go to South America,
00:24:11.920
And everywhere they go, they carry with them
1.00
00:24:16.960
with serpent worship, with death cults, human sacrifice.
00:24:20.700
These aren't like, oh, these, we can think of them
00:24:25.980
Like, oh, look, they brought this technology to man
00:24:30.180
They're like really evil, demanding worship,
0.79
00:25:12.480
And spreading that same tainted worship among men.
00:25:19.840
but they also are building altars, mounds, serpent mounds.
00:25:25.960
They serve as altars to worship demon gods,
0.59
00:25:29.260
their fathers coming from Nephilim that come from watchers.
0.78
00:25:35.200
I mean, it's plausible that it's not just a place
00:25:37.360
of offering worship, but even serving as certain portals.
00:25:45.440
So, you know, I was listening to this interview
00:25:57.640
We'll get him Paedo Baptist here before the end.
00:26:00.300
We'll give him at least partial credit for that.
00:26:16.020
But if you don't know, the Gilgal Rephaim is the wheel of giants
00:26:19.280
in the Golan Heights of Gilead, north of Israel,
00:26:25.560
And what it is, is I think that it was a pre-Diluvian structure,
00:26:31.500
a place of worship for giants or for the fallen Nephilim.
00:26:38.800
but it was still used by Og as a place of worship to the starry host
00:26:54.820
And by the way, the sarcophagus in the middle of it
00:26:56.980
lines up quite nicely with the Aug's measurements,
00:27:10.160
whether it's the Wheel of Giants or somewhere in Egypt,
00:27:34.280
Supernatural activity that's associated with these places
00:27:44.640
that are associated with this demonic activity.
00:27:51.440
you're going to be much more likely to see others.
00:28:11.120
You would actually expect to see multiple phenomena converging on a single place because it's real.
00:28:24.340
And so it'd actually be a point in the opposite camp's favor if it was only ever a one-note thing at all these places.
00:28:34.300
It was only ever like, oh, every once in a while you see an orb.
00:28:38.680
There's all these other things that are occurring.
00:28:40.640
And that's actually what lends it credibility in my mind.
00:28:46.580
It's like there are malevolent, ancient, undying spiritual forces
00:28:50.380
waging never-ending or ceaseless war against the image of God and his throne.
00:28:59.680
We don't wrestle with flesh and blood, with powers and principalities.
00:29:03.840
So wherever you're going to see a stronghold of those things,
00:29:07.040
you're going to see everything that comes with those beings.
00:29:09.020
And maybe there was some sort of network of attempted portals around the world with varying degrees of success.
00:29:16.640
I mean, because the whole idea of burial mounds is not common to one place or is not relegated to one place.
00:29:27.540
Even in North America, we have multiple examples of so-called Native American Indian burial grounds.
00:29:39.020
And so you have a place like the Serpent Mound in Ohio.
00:29:41.760
But the Smithsonian said that they don't find the bones.
00:29:49.740
But you have a place like the Serpent Mound in Ohio
00:29:55.200
of this same phenomenon that happens everywhere,
00:29:57.480
where it's the largest land effigy in the world.
00:30:12.340
that seems to echo the Gilgal Rephaim very nicely
00:30:17.920
somehow being important in the worship of the starry host
00:30:24.500
And then at the other end, the snake is devouring an egg.
00:30:38.140
and they found that it clearly used to be an altar
00:30:44.060
some of which were very big, up to 10 feet tall.
00:30:50.580
and they were apparently a place of great honor
00:30:57.820
the priests or the victims were buried there in honor.
00:31:04.340

00:32:51.460
all right um could there be giants today yeah yes but i i do believe that if there are
00:33:02.240
that the trend with giants is that they become less numerous and intermingled and diluted yeah
00:33:08.680
so i don't think that you're likely to go out and find a 40 foot tall giant today i just don't think
00:33:13.900
that's likely. I also think the nature of these beings and the culture that they make is a death
00:33:21.860
culture. And so it devours itself over time. And also then you start thinking about cultures that
00:33:28.580
would be near to giant populations. That's an ever looming threat. One way of dealing with a threat
00:33:35.120
is not just defense, but it's offense. It's to go and say, we're not going to let these giants be
00:33:40.460
near us anymore we're going to destroy them and so i think it's possible but because of those
00:33:46.700
various factors if there are they're limited scattered isolated remote hiding effectively
00:33:54.320
and then you have you know then you have to figure out how are they feeding themselves and
00:33:59.460
right you know that that whole thing but what do you guys think they're feeding themselves on the
00:34:09.200
well, because it was the first team that went out
00:34:12.160
Can you tell us the story of the Kandahar Giants?
00:34:18.080
Does anybody ever get tired of the Kandahar Giants?
00:34:21.780
So the idea is that, was it Afghanistan or Iraq?
00:34:26.240
Yeah, so there's a patrol that goes out in Afghanistan
00:34:29.600
in the early 2000s when American forces are there.
00:34:40.200
which this is, I believe, the special forces unit,
00:34:52.420
I mean, out into the remote mountainous regions.
00:34:57.040
it actually looks similar to some places in Utah.
00:35:04.060
And it's the places where we've been unable to defeat small forces of Taliban native fighters because they know the caves, the region, they use the terrain to their advantage.
1.00
00:35:17.180
So it's very dense, very difficult terrain, easy to imagine, I don't know, red hair giants getting lost in it.
1.00
00:35:25.720
So they go out and after some days of looking, the special forces unit begins to stumble upon
1.00
00:35:32.220
equipment of this unit that's been lost. And then they come upon a cave. And all of a sudden,
00:35:39.440
if I'm remembering correctly from the story, one of the special forces guys suddenly has a spear
00:35:44.980
emerge from through his body and is skewered with a large spear and out emerges a giant who is 15,
00:35:54.640
20 feet tall. And it has red hair, six fingers and six toes. And they immediately, of course,
00:36:01.780
these are highly trained soldiers, turn and just give it a deluge of automatic small arms fire,
00:36:07.980
just for 30 seconds. It's like 10 guys for 30 straight seconds. It's a lot of rounds.
00:36:14.020
Your mag dump, switch, mag dump, switch, mag dump. If I see a giant, I'm mag dumping until it stops
00:36:21.000
And as the story goes, they actually take the giant down.
00:36:33.300
and the military sends out a Chinook helicopter,
00:36:47.460
Which special forces are already under a million.
00:37:12.880
but it slowly leaked out in the military services.
00:37:16.100
And not only did, so we told that story on Giants part two
00:37:25.940
of people who were like, I served, I knew people.
00:37:32.880
And then you get the Clinton emails that were released
00:37:39.680
I know that George Bush was talking about it too.
00:37:42.720
George Bush was talking about starting the war in Iraq
00:38:02.500
We're already the lowest on the DEI totem pole.
00:38:13.960
the moon being a psyop yeah i i do kind of feel like i agree with other guys have said this matt
00:38:20.480
walsh has even said this but uh pushing against going to the moon could be the psyop to take away
00:38:26.460
you know just one more effort to take away any kind of achievement one of the greatest westerners
00:38:31.700
have ever made but there are two kinds of countries those that use the metric system
00:38:35.100
and those have been to the moon that's right amen great place to end the episode yeah thank you
00:38:42.100
But if you got a final thought, go ahead and throw it.
00:38:48.960
My final thought is that you should remember
0.61
00:38:56.020
And so all of this, the point of all of this ultimately
00:39:14.020
we go and we bring truth and goodness and beauty and light.
00:39:16.800
So the point of these stories isn't to be like giants.
00:39:38.760
everything that's happened in the past is true.
00:40:03.060
But then you have the last giant slayer, who is Jesus himself, who slays the ultimate giant.
00:40:09.640
You know, that great serpent lays him in his grave.
00:40:14.140
And so that's, you know, everything is ultimately pointing towards him.
00:40:18.240
And one of the reasons why we don't have giants today, like we once did, is not because of the success.
00:40:23.880
You know, it's ironic because we were just talking about Westerner success and landing on that.
00:40:28.260
It's not because of sophistication and what man has achieved by his, you know, collective might.
00:40:32.600
we don't have giants today because Yahweh through his people and ultimately through his son has
0.60
00:40:38.560
wiped them out. The plan of the serpent was not successful and his head has been crushed.
0.95
00:40:43.500
Yeah. The fact that there's no giants means that Christ did win and is still winning and will
00:40:48.320
never stop. And that's where you want to be careful. We mentioned this in another episode,
00:40:51.960
but I'll mention it once more here at the very end. That's where you want to be careful because
00:40:55.100
a lot of people are on board with giants and cryptids and Bigfoot and these kinds of things,
00:40:59.080
and we're on board we're down but uh they're on board with these things but there's one key
00:41:04.300
difference between the way they think about the way that we do um they would be on board with
00:41:09.460
these things and they would say and it's coming back and it's going to be worse than ever you
00:41:13.900
know whereas we would say no no the reason why it has like why why sightings when you read folklore
00:41:20.140
and ancient things it was much more common and these things have uh have have subsided we're
00:41:25.860
not saying that it's not real anymore that there won't be a sighting and yeah it'd be super cool
00:41:30.180
to see bigfoot you know also super terrifying but all you know all these different things um but
00:41:34.580
we're saying no uh the work of christ and the world is um is a potent work it's not an impotent
00:41:42.100
work christ and it come to do nothing right like christ changed the world we have two human history
00:41:48.500
can be divided up into two categories before christ and after christ there is a a categorical
00:41:55.560
difference um in the coming of christ and um and that's why we don't and so no it's it things are
00:42:02.000
not progressively getting worse and worse and worse uh but christ has conquered is conquering
00:42:07.020
um and will return whenever that is um but before he does return we believe that the general trend
00:42:13.920
of history will continue to be up that doesn't mean there won't be some big spikes along the way
00:42:17.760
and some of those spikes may involve um some really crazy things that we thought were gone
00:42:24.400
you know but turns out whoa there's a giant you know it turns out in miami you know that there's
00:42:28.920
something walking around and one million police cars and so like we're we're we're open to that
00:42:34.340
but what we're not open to is the um the the overarching headline story being things are
00:42:40.740
getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and they can do no
00:42:43.920
otherwise no christ did something yep yeah so amen all right thanks for tuning in and uh join
