May

3, 2007 — RaidersNewsNetwork.com — In the study of the Old Testament

Book of Genesis, beings of great stature called “giants†appear, which

some scholars believe came into existence after powerful angels known

as ‘Watchers’ descended to earth and used women (or their biological

matter) to construct bodies of flesh, which they used to “extendâ€

themselves into the material world.

The

Apocryphal books of Enoch, 2 Esdras, Genesis Aprocryphon and Jasher

support the Genesis story, adding that the sin of the angels grew to

include genetic modification of animals as well as humans. The Book of

Jasher, mentioned in the Bible in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18, says,

“After the fallen angels went into the daughters of men, the sons of

men taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in

order to provoke the Lordâ€(4:18). This clear reference to the Genesis 6

record illustrates that “animals†were included in whatever

cross-species experiments were being conducted, and that this activity

resulted in judgment from God. The Book of Enoch also supports this

record, saying that after the fallen angels merged their DNA with

women, they “began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and

fish†(7:5,6). The Old Testament contains associated reference to

genetic mutations, which developed among humans following this

activity, including unusual size, physical strength, six fingers, six

toes, animal appetite for blood and even lion-like features among men

(2 Sam 21:20; 23:20).

What

if, by corrupting the species barrier in which each creature was to

recreate after its “own kind,†Watchers had successfully mingled

human-animal DNA and combined the hereditary traits of different

species into a single new mutation? An entirely new

being—Nephilim—might have suddenly possessed the combined intelligence

and instincts (seeing, hearing, smelling, reacting to the environment)

of several life forms and in ways unfamiliar to creation.

Will modern biotechnology resurrect Nephilim?

Today,

molecular biologists classify the functions of genes within native

species but are unsure in many cases how a gene’s coding might react

from one species to another. In recombinant DNA technology, a

“transgenic†organism is created when the genetic structure of one

specie is altered by the transfer of a gene or genes from another. This

could change not only the genetic structure of the modified animal and

its offspring, but its evolutionary development, sensory modalities,

disease propensity, personality and behavior traits among other things.

 

Such

transgenic tinkering already exists in many parts of the world

including the United States, Britain and Australia where animal eggs

are being used to create hybrid human embryos from which stem cell

lines can be produced for medical research. A team at Newcastle and

Durham universities in the UK recently announced plans to “create

hybrid rabbit and human embryos, as well as other ‘chimera’ embryos

mixing human and cow genes.†More alarmingly, the same researchers have

already managed to reanimate tissue “from dead human cells in another

breakthrough which was heralded as a way of overcoming ethical dilemmas

over using living embryos for medical research.â€[1]

In the United States, similar studies led Irv Weissman, director of

Stanford University’s Institute of Cancer/Stem Cell Biology and

Medicine in California to create mice with partly human brains, causing

some ethicists to raise the issue of “humanized animals†in the future

that could become “self aware†as a result of genetic modification.

Even the President of the United States, George W. Bush in his January

31st, 2006 State of the Union Address called for legislation to

“prohibit…. creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or

patenting human embryos.â€

Not

everybody shares these concerns. A radical, international,

intellectual, and cultural movement known as “Transhumanism†supports

the use of new sciences including genetic modification to enhance human

mental and physical abilities and aptitudes so that “human beings will

eventually be transformed into beings with such greatly expanded

abilities as to merit the label ‘posthuman.’â€[2]

I

have personally debated leading transhumanist, Dr. James Hughes on his

weekly syndicated talk show, Changesurfer Radio. Hughes is Executive of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and

teaches at Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut. He is also the

author of “Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the

Redesigned Human of the Futureâ€, a sort of Bible for transhumanist

values. Dr. Hughes joins a growing body of academics, bioethicists and

sociologists who support “large-scale genetic and neurological

engineering of ourselves….[a] new chapter in evolution [as] the result

of accelerating developments in the fields of genomics, stem-cell

research, genetic enhancement, germ-line engineering,

neuro-pharmacology, artificial intelligence, robotics, pattern

recognition technologies, and nanotechnology…. at the intersection of

science and religion [which has begun to question] what it means to be

human….â€[3]

In

related development, Case Law School in Cleveland was awarded a

$773,000 grant in April 2006 from the National Institutes of Health to

develop guidelines “for the use of human subjects in what could be the

next frontier in medical technology – genetic enhancement.†Maxwell

Mehlman, Arthur E. Petersilge Professor of Law, director of the

Law-Medicine Center at the Case Western Reserve University School of

Law, and professor of bioethics in the Case School of Medicine is

leading the team of “law professors, physicians, and bioethicists in

the two-year project to develop standards for tests on human subjects

in research that involves the use of genetic technologies to enhance

‘normal’ individuals – to make them smarter, stronger, or

better-looking.â€[4]

Other

law schools including Stanford and Oxford have recently hosted “Human

Enhancement and Technology†conferences where transhumanists,

futurists, bioethicists and legal scholars merged to discuss the

ethical and legal ramifications of posthumans.

In

his book “Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity: The Challenges of

Bioethics,†the former chairman of the President’s Council on

Bioethics, Leon Kass provided a status report on where we stand today

regarding transhumanism. He warned in the introduction that “Human

nature itself lies on the operating table, ready for alteration, for

eugenic and psychic ‘enhancement,’ for wholesale redesign. In leading

laboratories, academic and industrial, new creators are confidently

amassing their powers and quietly honing their skills, while on the

street their evangelists are zealously prophesying a posthuman future.

For anyone who cares about preserving our humanity, the time has come

for paying attention.â€[5]

Not

to be outdone in this regard by the National Institute of Health, DARPA

and other agencies of the U.S. military have taken inspiration from the

likes of Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings. In a scene reminiscent of Saruman

the wizard creating monstrous Uruk-Hai to wage unending, merciless war,

we find billions of American tax dollars have flowed into the

Pentagon’s Frankensteinian dream of “super-soldiers†and the “Extended

Performance War Fighter†program. Not only does the EPWFP envision

“injecting young men and women with hormonal, neurological and genetic

concoctions; implanting microchips and electrodes in their bodies to

control their internal organs and brain functions; and plying them with

drugs that deaden some of their normal human tendencies: the need for

sleep, the fear of death, [and] the reluctance to kill their fellow

human beings,†but Chris Floyd in an article for CounterPunch a while

back quoted the Daily Telegraph and Christian Science Monitor, saying

“some of the research now underway involves actually altering the

genetic code of soldiers, modifying bits of DNA to fashion a new type

of human specimen, one that functions like a machine, killing

tirelessly for days and nights on end…. mutations [that] will

‘revolutionize the contemporary order of battle’ and guarantee

‘operational dominance across the whole range of potential U.S.

military employments.â€[6]

In

keeping with our editorial, imagine the staggering implications of such

science if dead Nephilim tissue was discovered with intact DNA and a

government somewhere that was willing to clone or mingle the extracted

organisms to make Homo-nephilim. If one accepts the biblical story of

giants as real, such discovery could actually be made someday, or

perhaps already has been and was covered up. The technology to

resurrect the extinct species already exists, and cloning methods are

being studied now for use with bringing back Tasmanian Tigers, Wooly

Mammoths and other extinguished creatures.

“Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again…†(Isaiah 26.14, Douay-Rheims Version).

The

reference above from the Book of Isaiah 26:14 could be troubling, as it

may reflect a prayer from the prophet, a petition to God not to allow

the giants to incarnate again. Did Isaiah pray this way because he knew

something about the future, something related to a future return of

Nephilim?

The

relationship between creatures called “Rephaim†and the Nephilim of

ancient texts is enlightening, as Rephaim are viewed as the spirits of

dead Nephilim in the grave. The word “Rephaim†carries with it the

meaning ‘to heal’ or to be ‘healed’ as in a ‘resurrection’. In the Ras

Shamra texts, the Rephaim are described as both human and divine beings

who worshipped the Amorite god Ba’al, the ruler of the underworld,

where the Rephaim served as his acolyte assembly of lesser gods, kings,

heroes, and rulers. These beings were believed to have power to return

from the dead through incarnation in bodily form as ‘Nephilim’. The

ability of Rephaim to be reincarnated in this way as living Nephilim is

viewed by some as the explanation for Nephilim existing before, and

after, the Great Flood.

The

book of Job may elucidate this idea when it says, “Dead things are

formed from under the waters. . . .†(Job 26.5). The dead in this text

are Rephaim and the phrase “are formed†is from “Chuwlâ€, meaning to

twist or whirl as in a double helix coil or genetic manufacturing. When

combined with something my good friend Steve Quayle once wrote, the

word “Chuwl†takes on added meaning:

“When

the Greek Septuagint was created, the Hebrew word Nephilim was

translated into Greek as ‘gegenes.’ This is the same word used in Greek

mythology for the ‘Titans’, creatures created through the interbreeding

of the Greek gods and human beings. The English words ‘genes’ and

‘genetics’ are built around the same root word as gegenes; genea

meaning ‘breed’ or ‘kind’. Thus, the choice of this word again suggests

a genetic component to the creation of these giants.â€[7]

And what about this prophecy from Isaiah:

“The

vision which Esaias son of Amos saw against Babylon. Lift up a standard

on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the

hand, OPEN THE GATES, YE RULER. I GIVE COMMAND AND I BRING THEM: GIANTS

ARE COMING TO FULFILL MY WRATH [emphasis added]. . . . For behold! the

day of the Lord is coming which cannot be escaped, a day of wrath and

anger, to make the world desolate. . . . And Babylon . . . shall be as

when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. . . . It shall never be

inhabited . . . and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance

there and satyrs shall dwell there . . .†(Isaiah 13:1-3, 9, 19-22,

[septuagint Version]).[8]

Given what is happening in Babylon (Iraq) and biotechnology today, we may be witnessing the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
