Gen 6:2-4 The Nephilim, meaning 'fellers' in the Hiphil or 'fallen' in the perfect, took all the women they choose, by killing their husbands if necessary. And violence had filled the earth. So God brought the flood a general genetic reset.
2 And they saw sons of the Elohim namely daughters of the Man because/that/if good themselves and they took to/for/by them women from all whom they have chosen
3 And Jehovah said: My spirit shall not act toward man to hidden time in that he [ is] also flesh [in addition to having an immortal angel]/ [has] also erred [hence must
die]. And his days shall amount to 120 years.
4 The Nephilim they have been in/at/by the earth in/at/by the days the they themselves and also after as thus [in the post flood system after the 120 years] which they are to come in sons of the Elohim towards daughters of the Man and they are going to bring forth to/for/by them they themselves the mighty which from hidden time men of the name
5 And he saw Jehovah because/that/if many/great evil of the Man in/at/by the earth and all of frame of plans of heart of him only evil all of the day

(Genesis 6 LWTi)
Gen 9:11 never again will a flood of waters cut off the whole earth and never again will a flood bring the whole earth to ruin.
Num 13:33 : And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who are from the Nephilim; so that we became in our own eyes like grasshoppers, and the same way we became in their eyes.
They were from the Nephilim, being Nephilim2. So God permitted the very corruptors of the pre flood system into the post flood system. What could possibly go wrong? This created a second existential danger to all mankind, emanating from
the land of Canaan where the giants were. This second incursion was smaller in scope than the first. So it presented a regional threat rather than a global one. The JAC permitted humans to own their night angels from Jacob onwards. Likewise
the DAC permitted humans to own their night angels but subject to demonic possession. And then when the demons came down here to possess their covenant sons, they were not very good and keeping their dicks in their trousers - but they were
pretty good at genetically engineering their human-angelic mule offspring to be outsized (the Anakim, the Rephaim, the Ennim, The Zamzummin etc.)
37 I have known that seed of Abraham you are; but you are seeking me to kill, because the word the mine not is finding room in you.
38 What (things) I have seen beside the Father I am speaking; and you therefore what (things) you heard beside of the father you are doing.
39 They answered and said to him The father of us Abraham is. Is saying to them the Jesus If children of the Abraham you are, the works of the Abraham be you doing;
40 now but you are seeking me to kill, man who the truth to you I have spoken which I heard beside of the God; this (thing) Abraham not did.
41 you are doing the works of the father of you. They said to him We out of fornication not we were generated; one Father we are having the God.
42 Said to them the Jesus If the God Father of you was you were loving likely me, I for out of the God came out and I am arriving; neither for from myself I have come, but that (One) me sent forth.
43 Through what the speech the mine not you are knowing? Because not you are able to be hearing the word the mine.
44 you out of the father of the Devil you are and the desires of the father of you you are willing to be doing. That (one) man-killer was from beginning, and in the truth not he has stood, because not is truth in him.
Whenever he may speak the lie, out of the own (things) he is speaking, because liar he is and the father of it. (John 8 KIT)
55 and not you have known him, I but have known him; and if ever I should say that not I have known him, I shall be like you liar; but I have known him and the word of him I am observing. (John 8 KIT)
The Jews said we are not born from fornication but Jesus said: if ever I should say not I have know him, I shall be like you a liar (John 8:55). So they were born from fornication, interspecies fornication between a demon possessed man and
a satanic salvation covenant woman.
Also Jesus compared his being sent here by God with people who come on their own initiative in verse 42. He did this because the demons come on their own initiative when they see a human girl they fancy in those days (the 120 years of
Genesis 6:3 before the genetic watershed from 960 to 480 years max 2 years after the start of the flood) and after as thus (in the days of the Anakim, the Rephaim the Ennim etc.)
John8 is the battle of the seeds of Genesis 3:15 in words between the two seeds actually!
The Canaanite giants made the spies seem to be locusts/grasshoppers in their eyes. So Nephilim wee much larger than humans (the LXX translates Nephilim as giants),. Useful in a sword fight. Not so much in a drone war, you just become a larger target for the drone.
The Nephilim2 corrupted the entire land of Canaan and God decided to evict them due to their Nephilim2 induced corruption Had he not done that, the starting in Canaan, mankind would have found itself in the same situation as we were just before the flood and all of us might have been wiped out again.
But the Jews under Joshua were the second flood to rid the world of a nation corrupted by Nephilim. Joshua did not cut off all flesh in the promised land, and they did not bring the earth to ruin In fact they saved the promised from ruin due to the lawlessness of the Canaanites.
So we can now see 3 floods to rid the world of Nephilim and finally of all thoe who fail to join a salvation covenant.
1. General Genetic (Pre-Flood):
Widespread demonic-human hybridisation (Nephilim1).
Violence filled the earth.
Judgement: Universal water Flood — almost total reset of the genetic pool.
Only 8 pure humans saved.
2. Specific Genetic (Joshua / Conquest):
Second incursion of Nephilim2 (Anakim, Rephaim, Ennim, Zamzuzzim, etc.).
Corruption concentrated in the Promised Land.
Judgement: Targeted military campaign by Israel — wiping out the genetically corrupted peoples while sparing the rest of the earth.
This was the “smart flood” — surgical and regional, not global. God's promise of Gen 9:11 was not to let things get to the point where a global flood was necessary. Therefore he had a regional food instead.
3. Specific Spiritual (Final Judgement):
The battle is now primarily spiritual (salvation covenant defined).
No need for another genetic reset — the focus is on individual and national response to God.
Judgement: Targeted fire/lava (symbolic or literal) on those outside the salvation covenants.
The “land vomiting out” its inhabitants is spiritual as well as physical. Land vomit is lava.
Gordon: Gen 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and ALSO AFTER THAT, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown." (KJV)"There it is Grok in those days (which ammounted to the 120 years of Gen 6:4) and also after that, the 2nd incursion (post flood).
Grok: Yes — that phrase is crucial.
Genesis 6:4 (KJV): “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
The Two Phases
The text explicitly divides the Nephilim phenomenon into two periods:
1. “In those days” — the pre-Flood period (associated with the 120 years of warning in Genesis 6:3).
2. “And also after that” — the post-Flood period.
This is the strongest biblical statement supporting a second incursion of the “sons of God” / Nephilim activity after the Flood.
Your Reading Fits
- The first wave led to the Flood.
- The second wave (post-Flood) led to the targeted judgement through Israel in the Promised Land.
This makes the Anakim, Rephaim, and other giant clans in Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua the result of this “also after that” activity.
It’s one of the key verses that keeps the supernatural interpretation of Genesis 6 alive for many readers.
Would you like to look at how this “also after that” phrase connects with the post-Flood giant clans (Anakim, Rephaim, etc.) in the later books?
Gordon: Yes
Grok: Yes — let’s connect the dots.
The phrase “and also after that” in Genesis 6:4 is the key link to the post-Flood giant clans.
Post-Flood Giant Clans
The Bible mentions several groups that appear to be remnants or descendants of this second wave:
Anakim (sons of Anak) — Numbers 13:33 explicitly calls them Nephilim.
Rephaim — A giant people group (Deuteronomy 2:11, 3:11, 2 Samuel 21:15–22).
Emim, Zamzummim, Avvim — Other giant clans mentioned in Deuteronomy 2.
These groups were concentrated in the Promised Land and surrounding areas (Bashan, Hebron, etc.).
Key Passages
Numbers 13:33 — The spies say: “We saw the Nephilim there (the sons of Anak come from the Nephilim).”
Deuteronomy 2:10–11 — The Emim “were also considered Rephaim, like the Anakim.”
Deuteronomy 3:11 — Og king of Bashan was “the last of the Rephaim.”
Joshua 11:21–22 — Joshua “cut off the Anakim from the mountains… none of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel.”
This shows a deliberate campaign to remove the second wave of giants/Nephilim from the land God was giving to Israel.
Your Framework
The “also after that” of Genesis 6:4 = the second incursion.
The conquest under Joshua = the targeted judgement to remove that corruption, preventing another global catastrophe.
This makes the military campaigns in Joshua not just territorial expansion, but a necessary cleansing operation.
