  • 00:15 male narrator: The sins of the watchers,
  • 00:19 these bene elohim, goes much deeper than leaving the divine
  • 00:21 council atop the mount congregation in heaven,
  • 00:23 coming down to earth to impregnate human women,
  • 00:26 and thus spawning a race of half
  • 00:27 fallen angel, half human hybrids
  • 00:29 that becomes giants.
  • 00:31 Before being imprisoned in Tartarus,
  • 00:33 these fallen angels are chronicled
  • 00:34 with educating their human wives
  • 00:37 and giant offspring in the dark arts and sciences.
  • 00:41 Azazel, the leader of the Grigori,
  • 00:43 taught the art of war, how to make weapons work
  • 00:45 with metals, and even instructed women
  • 00:48 in the art of seduction.
  • 00:50 Fallen angels also educated mankind
  • 00:52 in the creation of potions, binding spells,
  • 00:55 and enchantments, the use of astrology,
  • 00:57 and how to read omens.
  • 00:59 The finality of their perversion
  • 01:00 was the establishing of a polytheistic religion,
  • 01:03 the first false worship to the gods turning
  • 01:06 away man’s hearts from Yahweh.
  • 01:09 Just like Lucifer, these watchers wanted glory,
  • 01:12 adoration, and praise, but their giant
  • 01:15 offspring craved things far worse:
  • 01:18 only the darkest and most depraved acts of sin,
  • 01:21 indulgence, lasciviousness, and power.

  • 01:45 male: We must choose world peace.
  • 01:47 The challenges we face today do not recognize borders.
  • 01:49 It is time for a unified–
  • 01:51 [distorted speech]
  • 01:59 Joshua Colson: Hey– there’s no snacks.
  • 02:03 Chaim Malespin: Well, that’s…
  • 02:05 Joshua: First you told me I was gonna have to hike,
  • 02:06 then you said this was a snack bag,
  • 02:08 and the only snack I’m seeing is like 4K resolution,
  • 02:11 super drone speed, but that doesn’t
  • 02:12 make me feel any fuller.
  • 02:14 Caleb Colson: That’s my favorite snack there is.
  • 02:16 ♪♪♪
  • 02:22 Caleb: Gentlemen, we are in the Golan Heights,
  • 02:25 and as you know, there’s ancient
  • 02:26 civilizations all around us.
  • 02:28 Look at these ruins everywhere.
  • 02:29 They date back to the time after the flood.
  • 02:32 All right, this very special place
  • 02:34 that we’re going to is evidence of giants,
  • 02:38 megalith stone construction.
  • 02:40 It’s just a little bit of a hike.
  • 02:41 It’s called Rujm el-Hiri, Gilgal Refaim.
  • 02:45 Joshua: Tomorrow they’re gonna say, “Oh, look.”
  • 02:47 Caleb: Real giants.
  • 02:48 Joshua: Oh, look, we found a ruin of a giant
  • 02:49 Jewish man on the ground, died of starvation,
  • 02:51 no longer able to hike, his quadriceps frozen
  • 02:54 up with pain.
  • 02:55 Chaim: You know, they say this is older.
  • 02:57 I mean, this is at least, at least 5000 years old.
  • 02:59 We believe the earth is 6000 years old, okay,
  • 03:02 so this could be from the dawn of time,
  • 03:05 like from the very, very beginning,
  • 03:07 and older than Stonehenge.
  • 03:10 narrator: Deuteronomy 3:11, verse 13, “For
  • 03:13 only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant
  • 03:17 of the giants.
  • 03:18 All of the region of Argob, with all Bashan,
  • 03:22 was called the land of the giants.”
  • 03:27 Caleb: Yeah, I’m saying they’re starting
  • 03:28 to pop up everywhere, all these burial mounds,
  • 03:30 these dolmens.
  • 03:35 They’re everywhere.
  • 03:36 This is like a graveyard, graveyard of pagans.
  • 03:42 Woohoo, woohoo, I see it!
  • 03:45 It’s right here.
  • 03:46 You can see it.
  • 03:48 There it is, Gilgal Refaim.
  • 03:51 ♪♪♪
  • 04:00 ♪♪♪
  • 04:03 Look at that ring.
  • 04:05 ♪♪♪
  • 04:10 Caleb: All right guys, we finally made it here
  • 04:11 to Rujm el-Hiri.
  • 04:13 We’re at the top.
  • 04:14 This is the dolmen.
  • 04:15 It’s a burial mound.
  • 04:17 You know, many civilizations, they
  • 04:18 didn’t bury the body beneath the dirt.
  • 04:20 They put the body above the dirt
  • 04:22 and then build rocks around it, like–and sometimes dirt
  • 04:24 like the kurgans of Russia, or even the Norwegians,
  • 04:28 the Vikings, they would bury their Vikings
  • 04:31 in their boats and then bury a giant
  • 04:32 mound of dirt over it.
  • 04:34 But here we have an opening, a window.
  • 04:37 This is the window that’s supposed to, once a year
  • 04:41 during the summer solstice, have a moment
  • 04:44 where the sun reaches all the way through
  • 04:46 into what’s like a temple, a chamber beneath.
  • 04:49 A holy place where a body used to be,
  • 04:52 and there’s a little mound where Chaim
  • 04:54 and I saw an altar where they could offer
  • 04:58 maybe libations, you know, on that altar.
  • 05:01 The entrance is right over here down into it,
  • 05:03 but this is definitely a high place.
  • 05:06 Chaim: I wonder if– once the walls
  • 05:08 in the past used to be their proper height.
  • 05:10 These are extremely, I mean, very wide
  • 05:13 concentric circles around here, and there’s three.
  • 05:16 There’s, I mean, three or four.
  • 05:18 The three main large ones you see like 1, 2, 3,
  • 05:23 I almost think it’s– is it a mocking of the three
  • 05:25 passages to get into the temple:
  • 05:27 the outer court, the inner, and the Holy of Holies.
  • 05:31 I don’t know, but it’s three layers
  • 05:33 to get to this shrine, this quote-unquote “temple.”
  • 05:36 narrator: Ezekiel 1:15-16, “Now as I (Ezekiel) looked
  • 05:40 at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was
  • 05:43 on the earth beside each living creature
  • 05:45 with its four faces.
  • 05:47 The appearance of the wheels and their workings was
  • 05:49 like the color of beryl, and all four had
  • 05:52 the same likeness.
  • 05:54 The appearance of their workings was,
  • 05:56 as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
  • 05:59 As for their rims, they were so high they
  • 06:02 were awesome; and their rims
  • 06:04 were full of eyes, and all around
  • 06:06 the four of them, the spirit of the living
  • 06:08 creatures was in the wheels.”
  • 06:11 Caleb: Now, we’re pretty high up.
  • 06:12 This is, they say, up to 26 feet up.
  • 06:14 These walls used to be higher like
  • 06:16 Chaim mentioned.
  • 06:17 You know, something that comes to mind
  • 06:18 when I think about this is in Ezekiel chapter one,
  • 06:22 is when Ezekiel was by the River Kebar,
  • 06:25 and the mobile throne of God came to him,
  • 06:27 and what was carrying the throne of God
  • 06:29 were the Ophanim, the wheels within the wheels,
  • 06:31 covered in eyes, and within sight
  • 06:33 was the spirit of the four living beasts
  • 06:35 that flew beside the wheels.
  • 06:37 And so, Satan always wants to mimic that which
  • 06:40 is of God, so we see the circular
  • 06:42 accounts in Plato when he’s talking
  • 06:44 about Atlantis, how the city was built
  • 06:46 in these concentric circles around, but we also see
  • 06:49 that these circles are used in the occult as gateways.
  • 06:52 They’re portholes.
  • 06:54 They go through a lot of trouble
  • 06:55 to draw geometric shapes and then to draw blood
  • 06:57 on the four corners as–and then pray
  • 07:00 and chant the incantations to open gateways
  • 07:03 into the spirit world so that demonic spirits
  • 07:05 can come so that they can hear divine
  • 07:08 from the spirits, prophecies, omens, foretell the future.
  • 07:13 narrator: 1 Enoch 7, “And all the others
  • 07:16 together with them took unto themselves wives,
  • 07:18 and each chose for himself one,
  • 07:21 and they began to go unto them
  • 07:23 and defile themselves with them,
  • 07:25 and they taught them charms and enchantments,
  • 07:27 and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted
  • 07:29 with plants.
  • 07:31 And they became pregnant, and they bare great
  • 07:33 giants, whose height was three thousand ells…”
  • 07:37 Caleb: You know, guys, scripturally after the flood,
  • 07:41 there’s giants that we get at a height of 15 feet like Og.
  • 07:44 Could be taller. There’s obviously taller
  • 07:47 giants before the flood, Nephilim.
  • 07:49 How did anybody construct this
  • 07:52 without being able to see it up above?
  • 07:54 We can barely see the scope and scale of this is,
  • 07:56 you have to be all the way up there staring straight
  • 07:59 down to see the perfect diameter of this shape
  • 08:02 that’s supposed to be 500 feet in diameter.
  • 08:05 Well, the only other, more magnificent design of this
  • 08:08 I can think of is the Nazca lines in Peru.
  • 08:11 Only from outer space can you see
  • 08:14 objects of animals, what looks to be
  • 08:16 like an alien itself, monkeys, all sorts of things.
  • 08:20 So advanced, it goes for miles, these lines,
  • 08:23 but still yet, something from above,
  • 08:25 they’re trying to get their attention up above.
  • 08:27 They–just like the pyramids of Giza
  • 08:29 are aligned with Orion’s Belt to try to make some star
  • 08:34 constellation astrology connection with that.
  • 08:36 They’re trying to get the attention of the gods,
  • 08:38 the fallen gods over the planets,
  • 08:40 just like in Scripture.
  • 08:41 It equates these angels with the planets,
  • 08:45 calls them stars.
  • 08:48 narrator: Deuteronomy 32:8, 16-17, “The Most High
  • 08:54 (El-Elyon) gave the nations their inheritance,
  • 08:57 when He divided the sons of man (Adam),
  • 09:00 He sent the boundaries of the peoples
  • 09:03 according to the numbers of the sons of God (Bene Elohim).
  • 09:06 Then they provoked Him to jealousy with
  • 09:08 their foreign gods; with abominations
  • 09:10 they provoked Him to anger.
  • 09:12 They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they
  • 09:16 did not know, to new gods, new arrivals
  • 09:19 that your fathers did not fear.”
  • 09:22 Chaim: Now, I’m not saying that I know this,
  • 09:24 but you know how there’s 12 stones
  • 09:26 on the breastplate of– I’m talking about
  • 09:27 the good guys here, the high priest of the temple,
  • 09:30 and he’s got an ephod,
  • 09:32 12 stones, and it’s emerald, and it’s ruby,
  • 09:34 and it’s jasper, and it’s amethyst.
  • 09:36 It’s all kinds of different stones.
  • 09:38 And then you have in the Ark of the Covenant,
  • 09:40 you have gold, and you have within
  • 09:44 various ways–now, a supercomputer,
  • 09:46 a quantum computer of today is discovering
  • 09:48 that you need precious stones in order for a supercomputer
  • 09:50 to work.
  • 09:52 You need gold amounts.
  • 09:53 You need precious stones, and that’s a very
  • 09:55 strong communication system, the strongest we have
  • 09:57 on our planet, called the quantum computer.
  • 10:00 There is a theory that some people have
  • 10:01 that maybe in God’s economy, there
  • 10:04 is some sort of a communication system between
  • 10:07 some of the instruments with the smoke,
  • 10:09 with the incense, with– I’m not sure exactly
  • 10:11 what kind of communication it is, but my point
  • 10:13 is the enemy could be trying to mimic and copy.
  • 10:15 Like, that’s all he knows how to do.
  • 10:17 Caleb: He’s counterfeiting it.
  • 10:18 If you remember a story of the Anunnaki,
  • 10:19 when they came down in Sumer, they made
  • 10:22 the people that they created to mine for gold,
  • 10:25 they called it ORME, to create starfire,
  • 10:27 to create this incense to open these gateways
  • 10:30 to the gods to travel through.
  • 10:31 For years, guys, occultists believed
  • 10:33 that there was ley lines, these magnetic highways
  • 10:35 that encircled the globe that helped transfer energy
  • 10:39 and spirits.
  • 10:40 Well, that’s true.
  • 10:41 They discovered that in science there
  • 10:43 are ley lines, magnetic circles
  • 10:44 that encompass the globe, and they intersect
  • 10:47 at key points such as Stonehenge,
  • 10:49 the Giza pyramids.
  • 10:50 All of this is a form of transportation
  • 10:53 for these spirits to come out of the second heaven
  • 10:55 into our realm, and that’s why they
  • 10:57 would put gold on the pyramidians,
  • 10:59 on top of the obelisk and the pyramids.
  • 11:02 Chaim: The eye of the watchers
  • 11:03 on the pyramids, that eye, it’s even on the dollar bill.
  • 11:06 There definitely is reality to this stuff,
  • 11:08 and it can be scary thinking that they will return.
  • 11:11 A bottomless pit will be opened.
  • 11:12 Now is the time to remember the authority we have,
  • 11:15 and I just wanted to read about the victory we have.
  • 11:18 But look at what happens when a Galilean shows
  • 11:20 up to the Golan Heights and he says,
  • 11:22 “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
  • 11:24 “How did you know that?”
  • 11:25 You know, how did you know that?
  • 11:26 And he says, “I tell you, you are Kefa.
  • 11:29 You are Peter upon this rock,
  • 11:31 this revelation, this understanding,
  • 11:33 not the Pope’s.
  • 11:34 Upon this understanding, I will build my Kehilla,
  • 11:36 and the gates of Sheol of the kingdom of darkness
  • 11:39 will not be able to prevail, will not be able
  • 11:41 to withstand you.”
  • 11:43 It’s like an IDS soldier kicking down a door.
  • 11:47 So “the gate can’t withstand you”
  • 11:49 is a better translation than “prevail against you.”
  • 11:51 Gates aren’t…
  • 11:52 Caleb: Gates are not moving.
  • 11:53 Chaim: The gates aren’t moving, you’re moving.
  • 11:55 Caleb: We’re moving the gates.
  • 11:56 Chaim: You’re an unstoppable force
  • 11:58 because that gate can’t stop you.
  • 11:59 And so I think of these keys that we have to lock,
  • 12:02 to open a gate, to bind it, to lock a gate.
  • 12:04 Yeshua has dominion.
  • 12:06 That is the one who is living, Revelation 1:18, who was–
  • 12:09 the living one who was dead, and,
  • 12:11 “Look, I’m alive for everyone.
  • 12:12 I hold the keys of death and Hades, Sheol,”
  • 12:16 and you know what?
  • 12:18 We have been given this authority.
  • 12:19 Are we ready to displace the enemy
  • 12:22 at the end of the age?
  • 12:23 Are we ready to see, be ready for wonders,
  • 12:26 and God’s going to use you, God’s going
  • 12:28 to use you, God’s going to use me,
  • 12:30 and we have nothing to be afraid of.
  • 12:32 Praise God for his victory, hallelujah!
  • 12:34 Israel Hannah: Hallelujah.
  • 12:36 narrator: 1 Corinthians 10:20, “But the
  • 12:38 sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,
  • 12:40 not to God, and I do not want you
  • 12:43 to be participants with demons.”
  • 12:45 Caleb: There’s a table where the offering was,
  • 12:47 this little sacrificial table.
  • 12:50 You can see candles they’re still offering.
  • 12:57 Chaim: I think as I’ve entered
  • 12:58 into different tunnels of Hamas in Gaza,
  • 13:01 Hezbollah in the north,
  • 13:03 there is definitely a threat
  • 13:05 to the seed by– the chosen seed,
  • 13:09 the seed of hope, by this dark force,
  • 13:13 and as I’m at this table here,
  • 13:15 my gun, there’s a table of offering,
  • 13:18 I just want to declare the victory
  • 13:20 that God has given us.
  • 13:22 Mark chapter 3: “And he appointed twelve…
  • 13:24 that he might send them to preach and
  • 13:27 to have authority to drive out demons.”
  • 13:30 We’re taking their authority away
  • 13:32 from them, from these spirits.
  • 13:33 We are displacing them, displacing their Baels.
  • 13:38 But I think of that moment of victory
  • 13:41 where the enemy thought he won,
  • 13:43 where the cross held the Messiah laying
  • 13:46 lifeless, and– but not knowing he
  • 13:48 is the resurrection of the life.
  • 13:51 And I just love this: and the temple veil–
  • 13:54 “the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top
  • 13:56 to bottom, and the earth shook,
  • 13:57 and the tombs broke open,” Matthew 27, verses 51 and 52.
  • 14:03 That was the moment where the authority
  • 14:04 was taken from the wicked one
  • 14:06 and given to you, given to me over–
  • 14:09 the Lord of Spirits gave us the authority.
  • 14:12 Says just like that in Revelation 9,
  • 14:14 “The fifth angel sounded his trumpet,”
  • 14:15 and he was “given the key” to the Abyss.
  • 14:18 We know where they end up.
  • 14:20 Do we–do you know where you end up?
  • 14:22 Do you know the authority you’ve been given,
  • 14:24 the keys you’ve been given to bind on earth and in heaven?
  • 14:30 Let’s enter into our authority,
  • 14:32 and those gates of hell, they’re not gonna come
  • 14:34 after us, we’re coming after them.
  • 14:36 It’s time, it’s time, ’cause we’re
  • 14:38 at the end of the age.
  • 14:40 It’s time to arise, and as the Bible says,
  • 14:42 “Aliyah, ascend in as kings, as priests, as victorious ones.”
  • 14:53 Caleb: Chaim’s declaration was an important
  • 14:56 spiritual line drawn in the sand.
  • 14:58 He was prepared to take on the demonic forces.
  • 15:01 Unfortunately, the rest of our crew weren’t.
  • 15:04 And the occult–
  • 15:05 [strained groaning]
  • 15:08 Oh, you all right?
  • 15:10 You all right, bro?
  • 15:12 One by one, our crew members started dropping
  • 15:13 like flies, literally falling, twisting their ankles,
  • 15:17 hitting their heads on rocks.
  • 15:18 Even Josh hurt his leg, and then things went
  • 15:21 from bad to worse.
  • 15:26 Joshua: I thought I found circles,
  • 15:29 but I found the…
  • 15:32 Chaim: What’d you find?
  • 15:34 Joshua: The–what’s the opposite of concentric?
  • 15:35 Chaim: Non-concentric.
  • 15:37 Joshua: Yes, it’s full of hyenas and wolves.
  • 15:39 It was not y’all.
  • 15:41 They were so lusty and hungry for my flesh.
  • 15:44 male: I heard that about…
  • 15:45 Joshua: I know, I’m very beefy.
  • 15:47 Chaim: You’ve got a lot of beef.
  • 15:48 I hope I’m not speaking out of turn,
  • 15:51 but you’re pretty beefy.
  • 15:52 Joshua: I was hoping that they would be kosher,
  • 15:54 but they craved me.
  • 15:58 male: We’re thinking right there.
  • 15:59 That’s why I’m thinking maybe, oh wait,
  • 16:02 all today, this…
  • 16:04 Did somebody call?
  • 16:06 [wolves howling]
  • 16:11 [wolves howling]
  • 16:17 Joshua: So we’re out here at the concentric circles,
  • 16:18 ruins, the sun has set.
  • 16:21 We’ve been hearing hyenas, wolves for the past half hour.
  • 16:26 We don’t know where the bus is.
  • 16:27 Louis, our producer, has already fallen once.
  • 16:30 He went off, and we heard a sound
  • 16:31 like he fell again.
  • 16:33 We’re trying to find him.
  • 16:34 The entire surface of this area
  • 16:35 is jagged, is moving rocks, is spiky things.
  • 16:40 There was just–it took forever to get here,
  • 16:42 so now we have to figure out a way to get to a road
  • 16:45 to find the bus, the bus to find us,
  • 16:47 and not everybody’s super excited about this,
  • 16:49 so let’s see what we can figure out.
  • 16:52 Caleb: It took an hour and a half to hike
  • 16:54 to Gilgal Refaim, but now we had
  • 16:56 to find a faster way out and get to our bus
  • 16:59 as hungry hyenas and coyotes were closing
  • 17:01 in, and our injured crew members could barely walk.
  • 17:07 The topography of Golan Heights is rocky
  • 17:10 and treacherous.
  • 17:11 We were out of light except for our cell phones.
  • 17:14 Thankfully, Chaim was packing heat
  • 17:16 as always, which could protect us
  • 17:18 and light our way.
  • 17:19 Phone reception was cutting out, and our bus driver tried
  • 17:22 to find a new path to rescue us,
  • 17:24 but he got lost as well, but God’s divine planning
  • 17:27 would be our deliverance.
  • 17:29 I had previously set up a GPS locator
  • 17:31 in my second daughter Elko’s phone.
  • 17:34 She had fallen asleep on the bus,
  • 17:36 so we left her behind when we initially hiked
  • 17:39 to the circle of Og.
  • 17:41 Elko’s exhaustion led to our freedom
  • 17:43 as we tracked her phone all the way back
  • 17:46 to our ride, and God still gets the glory.
  • 17:49 Before departing, we prayed for
  • 17:51 our injured producer’s twisted ankles,
  • 17:54 and the next morning he was back on his feet,
  • 17:56 restored, just in time to cross the border into Jordan.
  • 18:01 These ancient high places are still demonic high places.
  • 18:05 ♪♪♪
  • 18:14 narrator: Deuteronomy 2:19-22, “When you come
  • 18:18 near the border of the children of Ammon,
  • 18:21 don’t bother them, nor contend with them;
  • 18:23 for I will not give you any of the land
  • 18:25 of their children of Ammon for a possession,
  • 18:27 because I have given it to the children of Lot
  • 18:29 for a possession.
  • 18:31 That also is considered a land of Rephaim (giants).
  • 18:35 Rephaim lived in the past, but the Ammonites
  • 18:38 call them Zamzummim, a great people, many,
  • 18:41 and as tall as the Anakim (descendants of Nephilim),
  • 18:45 but Yahweh destroyed them before Israel,
  • 18:48 and they succeeded them, and lived in their place,
  • 18:51 as he did for the children of Esau
  • 18:52 who dwell in Seir, when he
  • 18:54 destroyed the Horites (also giants)
  • 18:57 from before them; and they succeeded them,
  • 18:59 and lived in their place even to this day.”
  • 19:03 Joshua: Ammon was the son of Lot, all right?
  • 19:04 They were like the cousins of the Israelites,
  • 19:06 but they couldn’t stand each other,
  • 19:08 so there was fighting and bickering
  • 19:09 as cousins do, and causing all kinds of problems
  • 19:11 in the area.
  • 19:12 Now, in ancient Canaan, it was overrun with giants,
  • 19:14 but well, the whole world was pretty much overrun
  • 19:16 with giants, so this is a major
  • 19:17 problem we’ve got going on.
  • 19:18 Caleb: That’s absolutely correct,
  • 19:20 and the name etymology, Josh, for these giants
  • 19:22 actually kind of tell what kind of visual
  • 19:25 characteristics they may have.
  • 19:26 For example, the Emim were known
  • 19:28 as the fearful ones, not that they’re
  • 19:30 afraid of everything.
  • 19:32 People said that they made these screeching
  • 19:33 sounds, these deep– all sorts of weird noises
  • 19:36 that would strike fear into people.
  • 19:38 We had the Anakim.
  • 19:39 They were the long-necked ones.
  • 19:41 You’ve seen all those tribes
  • 19:42 where people try to stretch out their necks, you know,
  • 19:44 in Africa?
  • 19:45 Maybe that was trying to honor these Nephilim gods.
  • 19:49 You also had the Zamzummim or Zamzim.
  • 19:52 They were the restless roamers, the terrors,
  • 19:56 just like, you know, the Nephilim spirits
  • 19:58 are called wandering spirits, you know, in Scripture.
  • 20:02 But finally we get to the Rephaim, the dead ones.
  • 20:07 Some people say it’s because they had grayish skin
  • 20:09 in appearance.
  • 20:11 They’re also end up becoming synonymous
  • 20:13 with the spirits of the Nephilim
  • 20:16 after they die, so they’re just typically
  • 20:19 called Rephaim after that point,
  • 20:20 these demonic spirits that roam around.
  • 20:22 But the interesting thing is there’s so much
  • 20:25 visual hints that we get from different
  • 20:28 historical sources.
  • 20:30 They were super tall, six fingers, six toes,
  • 20:32 six digits, you know, on their hands and their feet.
  • 20:35 Double rows of sharp teeth, domed heads.
  • 20:37 They were as stout– you know, almost as wide
  • 20:40 as they were tall.
  • 20:41 Lots of crazy stuff, these giants.
  • 20:43 narrator: 2 Samuel 21:20, “Yet again there was war
  • 20:47 at Gath, where there was a man of great stature
  • 20:50 who had six fingers in each hand and six toes
  • 20:52 on each foot, twenty-four in number;
  • 20:55 and he also was born to the giant.”
  • 20:59 Joshua: We also read in Scripture
  • 21:00 that Rabbah or Rabbath is associated with giants.
  • 21:02 Deuteronomy 3:11 says, “King Og of Bashan
  • 21:06 was the last survivor of the giant Rephaites.
  • 21:09 His bed was of iron and was more than
  • 21:12 thirteen feet long and six feet wide.
  • 21:14 It can still be seen in the Ammonite
  • 21:16 city of Rabbah,” like today.
  • 21:18 Caleb: So this is where they carried
  • 21:20 off King Og’s bed.
  • 21:21 And behind us, Joshua’s citadel, thousands of years
  • 21:25 of civilization just covering
  • 21:27 all these different kinds of ruins that you see.
  • 21:29 The most important Roman ruin for our discussion,
  • 21:32 I believe, is right there, up on that peak.
  • 21:35 That would be the Temple of Hercules.
  • 21:37 Joshua: Hercules, like Hercules Hercules?
  • 21:40 Like, that Temple of Hercules?
  • 21:41 Caleb: Yes, but I don’t know why you had
  • 21:42 to bring that up, but yeah.
  • 21:44 narrator: Genesis 6:4, “There were giants in
  • 21:46 the earth in those days; and also after
  • 21:48 that, when the sons of God came unto
  • 21:50 the daughters of men, and they bare children
  • 21:53 to them, the same became mighty men
  • 21:55 which were of old, men of renown.”
  • 21:59 Caleb: Wow, that is the Temple of Hercules.
  • 22:01 Joshua: I’m not impressed.
  • 22:03 He was only half-god.
  • 22:04 Caleb: He was demigod, that’s right.
  • 22:06 See, these giants, these demigods,
  • 22:10 they were called heroes of old, you know,
  • 22:13 the men of renown.
  • 22:15 It’s very interesting.
  • 22:16 Hero in the Greek culture did not mean what we think
  • 22:18 in the West today, you know, like Superman.
  • 22:20 Joshua: No, not…
  • 22:22 Caleb: Anybody who does a good act,
  • 22:23 you know, a heroic feat, you know?
  • 22:24 Hero meant someone who was born of a god
  • 22:27 and a mortal.
  • 22:28 So they were in Hebrew the gibborim,
  • 22:31 you know, that we’ve been talking
  • 22:33 about, these demigods, and these guys,
  • 22:37 they did all sorts of interesting
  • 22:39 things like Hercules because he was fighting
  • 22:42 other hybrids.
  • 22:44 He fought these half-man, half-animal creatures,
  • 22:49 chimeras and different stuff,
  • 22:51 and that just goes to show you that Satan
  • 22:53 was continuing his grand biogenetic experiment.
  • 22:56 Genesis 6:11-12 says, “The earth also was corrupt
  • 23:01 before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
  • 23:03 And God looked upon the earth, and,
  • 23:05 behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
  • 23:07 corrupted his way upon the earth.”
  • 23:09 And I believe that means humans
  • 23:11 and animals alike were corrupted by Satan.
  • 23:13 Joshua: Satan was always frustrated, man.
  • 23:15 He wanted to be like God, better than God.
  • 23:18 Then we came along and God gave us
  • 23:20 something he could never do.
  • 23:21 God gave us the ability to create as he could create.
  • 23:24 We could make babies.
  • 23:26 Satan was like, “I can’t make a baby,
  • 23:28 but I can make a horrible science
  • 23:30 experiment,” and that’s where he got the idea
  • 23:32 to intermingle with mankind and with animalkind
  • 23:36 to create these dirty, disgusting hybrid creatures
  • 23:40 that had a taste for violence and perversion,
  • 23:42 and most emphatically, blood.
  • 23:46 narrator: 1 Enoch 7, “(The giants) consumed
  • 23:49 all the acquisitions of men.
  • 23:52 And when men could no longer sustain them,
  • 23:54 the giants turned against them
  • 23:56 and devoured mankind.
  • 23:58 And they began to sin against birds, and beasts,
  • 24:01 and reptiles and fish, and devour one
  • 24:04 another’s flesh, and drink the blood.”
  • 24:08 Joshua: Brother, are you holding hands
  • 24:09 with Hercules?
  • 24:10 Caleb: No, that’s weird, dude.
  • 24:12 It’s a big hand.
  • 24:13 That was 13 meters tall, the statue.
  • 24:15 Joshua: And look and don’t touch.
  • 24:16 We don’t hold hands with boys.
  • 24:17 Caleb: Okay, sorry.
  • 24:19 Joshua: I’ll tell you something.
  • 24:20 Blood has always been sacred to God.
  • 24:21 All right, it’s an important thing.
  • 24:23 The life is in the blood, all right?
  • 24:24 We see this in Scripture, and we also see
  • 24:26 these demon hybrids had an insatiable
  • 24:29 lust of thirst for it, right?
  • 24:31 They constantly were going after the
  • 24:33 plasma, drinking it out of the blood,
  • 24:34 trying to get a hold of it, trying to gain
  • 24:36 their strength from that
  • 24:38 blood of someone else, and the grossest part is
  • 24:40 that today cults and other practices
  • 24:43 are trying to reproduce the same thing
  • 24:44 through vampirism and other ways of consuming
  • 24:47 that blood, that plasma, that life force.
  • 24:49 Caleb: It’s pretty messed up.
  • 24:50 I know in Genesis 6:3, God limited
  • 24:52 the lifespan of humanity, which I believe
  • 24:55 included giants, to 120 years because he
  • 24:57 was trying to slow their overpopulation
  • 24:59 of the earth.
  • 25:00 But we see that fixation on blood continue even
  • 25:04 throughout the cultures because people have believed
  • 25:06 throughout time that if you drink blood,
  • 25:08 you absorb the power, the strength,
  • 25:10 the life force of someone else.
  • 25:12 Joshua: I won’t even drink blood
  • 25:13 raspberry Slurpees for that very reason.
  • 25:15 Caleb: That’s a– that’s probably a good motto
  • 25:16 to live by.
  • 25:18 Joshua: And also, you don’t hold a boy’s hand.
  • 25:19 This is the only– look, the only
  • 25:20 appropriate exchange with Hercules’s hands is knucks.
  • 25:22 What’s up, bro? Hope I didn’t hurt your hand.
  • 25:27 narrator: Leviticus 17:11, “For the life of the flesh is
  • 25:30 in the blood and I have given it for you
  • 25:33 on the altar to make atonement
  • 25:35 for your souls, for it is the blood
  • 25:38 that makes atonement by the life.”
  • 25:40 Caleb: You know, Josh, blood is so sacred to God
  • 25:43 that he used it throughout Scripture
  • 25:44 to make atonement for man’s sins,
  • 25:47 but it would be the blood of an animal
  • 25:48 that would take our place, that would be spilled.
  • 25:51 Its life force had to be poured out
  • 25:54 and offered as a substitute for the wrong things we did.
  • 25:58 Joshua: You know, in the Old Testament,
  • 26:00 if an animal were to attack or kill a man,
  • 26:02 the animal had to be put down because the animal had
  • 26:06 to understand that man had dominance over it, right?
  • 26:09 And if a man killed a man, that man had to face death
  • 26:12 as well because he took the blood,
  • 26:14 he took the life, and life is sacred
  • 26:16 and blood is sacred.
  • 26:19 Mankind deserved death because of our sin.
  • 26:22 We deserved to not have atonement,
  • 26:25 and yet Yeshua came and he shed his spotless blood,
  • 26:30 completely pure, free of any sin
  • 26:34 and any reason to have to, and yet he
  • 26:36 sacrificed it, and he pours his blood
  • 26:38 out on all mankind and says, “I see what you did,
  • 26:41 and I see what you did and how you deserve death,
  • 26:46 but because of my sacrifice, all you have to do
  • 26:48 is accept it.”
  • 26:49 All you have to do is accept his sacrifice,
  • 26:52 accept him as the Son of God,
  • 26:54 and his perfect blood will pour over you,
  • 26:56 and that life force that God holds so dear
  • 27:00 that he gave of his only Son pays the price
  • 27:04 so that we can live eternally pure.
  • 27:07 That availability is to us today
  • 27:10 by simply repenting and asking for it,
  • 27:12 and that’s incredible.
  • 27:13 There’s no other deal like it on the planet.
  • 27:15 No matter how many times McDonald’s
  • 27:17 makes a value deal, you never get as much value
  • 27:19 out of their deals as you do with the gospel.
  • 27:22 Caleb: That’s the whole reason we’re doing this,
  • 27:24 so we can continue our journey
  • 27:25 and tell others about this amazing sacrifice.
  • 27:28 I’ve never heard so many prayer calls
  • 27:30 in stereo as I have today.
  • 27:31 It’s literally coming from 360 degrees.
  • 27:35 narrator: Our resource on this program,
  • 27:37 Zola Levitt’s book “Raptured.”
  • 27:40 Joshua: But I don’t even believe in the Rapture!
  • 27:43 narrator: You may not believe in this coming
  • 27:44 prophetic event, but Satan does,
  • 27:46 and he’s been busily preparing his counterfeit
  • 27:48 excuse for the coming disappearance.
  • 27:51 Joshua: Dimitri just got raptured,
  • 27:53 but if you’re here, everything’s–no!
  • 27:56 narrator: Learn the biblical evidence
  • 27:58 behind the coming Rapture.
  • 27:59 Joshua: Okay, if you’re right here,
  • 28:01 I’m safe, okay.
  • 28:03 narrator: And don’t be left behind.
  • 28:06 Joshua: Did you know “The Bearded
  • 28:07 Bible Brothers” is an outreach of Zola
  • 28:09 Levitt Ministries?
  • 28:10 That means we are entirely donor funded.
