"Locusts and nephilim?"


   Peggy McIlveene gave a link to the article about Babylon in America :

   When I clicked there I saw the picture for the magazine or book titled "Official Disclosure". The cover has a picture of a typical alien, the large - headed gray creature with huge eyes and spindly limbs.
 
 
 I was immediately aware of the resemblance to a locust, and these verses came to mind:
 
Revelation 9: 3, 7:
 
"And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men."
 
    Genesis 6:4 tells us that the flood of Noah was in part to destroy the hybrid creatures produced by the mating of "the sons of God", the giants, or the Hebrew word "nephilim", with human women.
 
"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."
   If we are seeing the same things that were common in the days of Noah preceding the flood, then perhaps the nephilim are walking among us, possibly already producing offspring. This could explain the numerous stories of alien abductions and "experiments" upon the victims. Perhaps they are still bound in the pit, about to be unleashed upon the world when the Lord removes His hand of protection.
 
    The same word for giants, or nephilim is used in Numbers 13:33:
 
"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
 
    It is interesting that the spies compared themselves to grasshoppers, also known as locusts. The Hebrew word  for grasshoppers used in the above passage is Strong's concordance #2284, chagab, meaning locust, and also says, Chagab, one of the Nethinim. Hmmm, sounds similar to nephilim, but I looked it up and Nethinim means the assistants to the Levites. They were the temple servants. Probably just coincidental, but somehow I had the mental impression of these locust like creatures, the nephilim, working hand in hand with the false prophet, assisting him in service at the newly rebuilt temple, while they are not busy tormenting those who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

    The demons in the pit are under the command of a fallen angel, known as Abaddon in the Hebrew, and Apollyon in the Greek. Both words mean "angel of the abyss".
 
    Rev 9:11:   "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."
