Why are we so drawn to mystery and myth? And what’s the cost of pursuing hidden knowledge at the expense of biblical clarity? The hosts reflect on the key takeaways from The Nephilim Myth, emphasizing a love for God’s Word and a commitment to let the text speak for itself. This excerpt from Samuel Delgado's book, "The Nephilim Myth: A Textual Analysis and Reassessment," explores various interpretations of the Nephilim, a mysterious group mentioned in biblical texts. Delgado analyzes Genesis chapters 3-6, the limitations of angels, and the context of the Flood to challenge common perceptions. The author also examines the Book of Enoch, evaluating its dating, authorship, and contradictions while considering its allusions in the New Testament and its presence in the Ethiopian Bible and Dead Sea Scrolls. Ultimately, Delgado advocates for the "Sethite View", emphasizing intermarriage as the forbidden theme and its connection to God's holiness. He concludes by cautioning against an obsessive focus on hidden interpretations of the Nephilim, asserting that such a focus can distract from a comprehensive understanding and appreciation of all scripture.
