Judgment Of The Nephilim
A Comprehensive Biblical Study of the Nephilim Giants - Prepare For Startling Revelations From The Pages of The Holy Bible
6,000 years ago a war began. A war to rule Heaven and Earth that dates all the way back to the Garden of Eden. In the Garden, God told Satan that one day a woman would give birth to a male child – the Messiah, who would redeem humanity and destroy him. In order to prevent this child’s birth, Satan instigated a fallen angelic rebellion. A group of angels broke off their allegiance to the Lord and entered the earthly realm to corrupt the human gene pool and prevent the Savior’s birth. These fallen angels (“sons of God”) took human wives (“daughters of men”) and had children with them. Their offspring – hybrid half-human, half-angelic beings, were superhuman giants known as the Nephilim. With human DNA corrupted and humanity hanging in the balance, The Lord unleashed a punishment against the Nephilim so severe, only Noah and his family would survive.
New Discoveries From Scripture Regarding The Nephilim And Their Fallen Angelic Ancestors
This is a comprehensive Biblical study of the Nephilim. Using a literal reading of Scripture, we are given a complete picture of the war between two bloodlines – the lineage of the Messiah and the seed of Satan. Exploring passages rarely connected to the giants, you will discover new revelations regarding the Nephilim
Why did Pharaoh order all male children to be thrown in the river and Herod execute all male children in Bethlehem? The Biblical location of the heavenly portal used by angels to enter the earthly realm. How were angels able to reproduce with human women? Who was the first human woman to marry the fallen Sons of God and conceive a child? Who was the fallen angel who ruled the preflood world? The specific timing and description of God’s punishment of the rebel Sons of God and the Nephilim. How did the Nephilim return after the Flood and are there still Nephilim among us? All these questions will be answered and many, many more. Citing dozens of ancient Christian and Jewish writings from the first century AD through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, Judgment Of The Nephilim provides a thorough side-by-side comparison of the Bible and the extra-Biblical texts on this topic. It also details the connection between Genesis 6, Plato's account of Atlantis and ancient mythology. This book is a must-read for those who want to learn more on the topic of the Nephilim giants. This is the story of God’s enduring love for all people and His promise to bring redemption through the prophesied Savior. This is the Judgment of the Nephilim.

It took me 6 months to read this book, but that’s not because it was boring or difficult to get through or anything like that; it took me 6 months because it was my “secondary read”—that is, I always have a primary book I’m reading (usually a novel), and I read from this primary book every day, but then I usually have a Kindle book that I can read whenever I have nothing else to do, such as when I’m standing in line at a store or at the pharmacy, or when I’m waiting in line in the drive-thru. As you can imagine, this secondary reading is often sporadic by its very nature, and I have an easier time dealing with sporadic reading opportunities when it’s with a nonfiction work, so my secondary book is almost never fiction.
With that issue addressed, here's my actual review: This is a very good book. It’s unfortunate that the Nephilim and fallen angels and things like that are usually considered fringe topics in Christian circles, because it deprives these issues of the serious consideration they deserve, and it also attracts a lot of ... how shall I say this nicely? ... folks who are kinda sketchy/loony/conspiracist?
Thankfully, Pitterson seems to not fall into that category. He does express a couple of things about this field of study with which I disagree, but I’m 99% satisfied with the product he produced here. There is a lot of great information here for anyone who, like me, is fascinated with the subjects of fallen angels, Nephilim, the pre-Flood world, and the post-Flood giants. There were numerous times (I now wish I’d written them down) when I was hit with something—some nugget of information, some insight, some further glimpse of spiritual truth—for the first time, and each time was a delight.
Of course, there are some people—probably most nonbelievers, and probably at least some Christians—who think that this book’s topics are categorically loony, and that anyone who believes that these topics are real are loony, but I can't do anything about that.
I’ll just say this: As with the topic of creation (as opposed to evolution), the Bible is almost never allegorical in the stories it contains; other than Jesus’s parables (which may well have been based on true stories, for all we know), the stories in the Bible are true; they are real history. Creation is real, fallen angels are real, the worldwide Flood was real, and the giants were real. As real as you and I. And when you see that the fallen angels and their awful offspring are referenced and addressed in the Bible far more often than you ever realized, and that much of the world’s mythologies (giants, demigods, etc.) spring from the true events of Genesis upon which they’re based, you’ll see that this is no fringe topic, but something very near and dear to God’s heart, and about which He wants us to be aware.

Ok. I am usually a fast reader. Normally, I would have had a book this size/type read in a couple days. It took me just under a week to read it and it was NOT because I found it uninteresting or difficult. It was just FULL of research. Excellent research. Not only Scripture was used, but writings from early church fathers, etc. The very thin, plastic sealant they use for paperback book covers is beginning to peel, that's how much it was utilized by me!
Pitterson traces the Canaanite from Ham on. The ONLY kinda bigger criticism I have is found on page 30. Pitterson cites Genesis 4:26 which discusses Seth begetting Enos "then began men to call upon the name of the Lord." Pitterson writes that this seemed to be some sort of spiritual revival. It is my belief that the exact opposite is true. A study of the phrase implies that men began to profane God's name and blaspheme. True, Seth and his children were Godly, but as the years went on, and sin flourished, man became extremely wicked.
I appreciated his discussion concerning the Book of Enoch. I hope that this does not incite anger from the "Pro Enoch" crowd, but some of what that book teaches is contrary to Scripture. That does not mean that the book does not have historical significance, and an interesting factor, but we need to be cautious.
Also, I noted that there were some spelling errors occasionally, but that lies with the editor. There was one place where an incorrect chapter was assigned to the book of Joshua. I believe it was chapter 2 and Pitterson wrote chapter 6.
One thing I wish Pitterson would have included is a Reference List in the back to place his research in one area. I know he cited throughout but it would be VERY helpful if someone wanted to try to either purchase a copy of a work he used or find a copy at a library.
I encourage ALL to purchase this book. It was the best book on this fascinating topic I have read thus far.
Keep looking up!

Ryan Pitterson's "Judgement of the Nephilim" is a much-needed, single-subject topical study that sheds so much more light on the meaning of important scriptures than one would expect from such a narrow topic. In this case, it is the (mostly) overlooked topic of the Biblical Giants in all of their manifestations, tribal names, roles as spoilers of God's people and Satanic foils against the bloodline of God's Promised Messiah. Sure, there are plenty of weird, occult, metaphysical and/or apocalyptic books out there on the "Nephilim" that treat the subject as a marginal mystery (like UFOs, space aliens, etc.) of ancient mankind depicted across civilizations and cultures. But this is not one of those books. Ryan Pitterson sticks to the Bible, identifying often overlooked or misunderstood scriptural references to a genetic race of giants that slipped into the human gene pool via the machinations of the angelic Sons of God and the beautiful daughters of men. He also offers Biblically grounded and entirely reasonable arguments for some of the questions often asked about this subject such as how angels could have sexual relations with women (angels are always depicted as having physical bodies), how Nephilim DNA survived the flood (through Ham's wife; hence, Canaan's curse) and how spirit can beget physical (just as the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary). He is almost tempted to discuss the role of Giants in the Last Days (as in the Days of Noah) but he holds back, thankfully. It doesn't need to be said in this book. Pitterson covers the subject so well (so scripturally well) that the prophetic angle is obvious. This is a truly great book and puts many missing pieces of the Bible Worldview together. Suddenly it makes sense why the Canaanites needed to be destroyed and the other giants, Og, the Amalekites, Goliath's family, the Emim, Zuzin and the Rephaim were such a terror to God's people. For a more comprehensive look at this subject, I would suggest reading this as a companion to Michael Heiser's "Reversing Hermon," another Biblically grounded work along similar lines that connects a lot of overlooked dots in scripture. "Judgement of the Nephilim" is highly recommended.

Amazing. Just amazing.
To be honest, I didn't expect much of this book; one reason being that everyone has been jumping on the Nephilim bandwagon as of late, with one author saying very little different from the last author on the subject, with the exception of Dr. Michael Heiser. I decided to give it a chance and see if I could learn anything more in depth on the subject. Within a few chapters I realized that I was being taken deeper, both on the subject of the Nephilim, and of the very reasons that the Old Testsment stories were recorded and handed down the way they were.
By the middle of the book, it was clear to me that I had never truly understood much of the Old Testament, and despite the fact that I have been a believer since 1972 and have a good grasp of the Bible, I will go so far as to say that it cannot be truly and thoroughly understood until you read this book.
That seems like a pretty bold, and perhaps, emotional statement. An I saying that because I enjoyed the book so much? Well, yes, I did enjoy it enormously - Mr. Pitterson weaves the tale of the history of God's people and the enemies they faced, both smoothly and skilfully. He references Scripture to set the stage for the premises he presents, as well as to serve as verification of what was really happening in those (seemingly) familiar old Bible stories. The scholarship Mr. Pitterson cites comes heavily from 19th-century Bible scholars; all very astute, knowledgeable, and clearly well-grounded theologically. There is not one miss-step in the book.
I also appreciated the fact that Mr. Pitterson used Bible passages exactly as they should be used; to strengthen, support, and clarify one's thesis, and not as multi-page filler to divert attention away from mediocre writing and weak arguments. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and thank its author profusely, as I came away with an understanding of the Old Testament, and indeed, of Salvation history, that will never leave me.

Brilliant
I rarely comment on a book or piece of work. This book however was well worth my time. I love how it stayed true to God’s Word and gave Jesus Christ the central focus as He should have. Given the many voices and extra-biblical content available these days, it was refreshing to see the thread of God’s message revealed through the Scriptures. Scripture interpreting Scripture is one of the best interpretative methods we have directly at our disposal. It is clear that the author has been listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and has provided a timely work for this late hour. Thank you for heeding His voice and persisting to complete what God laid on your heart.

I was able to meet the author recently at the Unsealed Scroll Prophecy conference in Texas. I told him that this book has a permanent place on my bookshelf and I’ve recommended it to many others.
I am an avid reader of all things related to the biblical account. I spend a fair amount of time researching these subjects as well. I say this because I have never before come across anything that was as well researched and biblically based as this book. This book compiled much of what I was led to over the course of the last 5 years. I only differ with Ryan on my perspective with regards to Enoch 1. There are only two books that bless the reader in the beginning and they are Revelation and Enoch 1. I see this and many other factors as an example of what I refer to as an alpha and omega moment. There are numerous examples in scripture of this type.
As others have mentioned, this book took me longer than usual to read because I would look at the scriptures referenced and find more nuggets of wisdom along the way. This book is a fascinating journey into a war that has been going on since it was declared in Genesis 3. Ryan underscores the plan of the enemy to prevent the coming of Messiah from the very beginning. With scripture to back it up and references to some books I’m familiar with and many others I was not; this book is a treasure trove to those seeking more of our hidden history. I actually have a copy I’m gifting at church for an event and look forward to hearing the reactions of those who have never been exposed to this type of material before.
It’s my hope that Ryan would make a study guide so that this book could be shared in a group setting. I would love to see others come to the knowledge of these scripturally based truths.

Well-written and involved study of the fallen angels, their offspring with human women (Nephilim) and the endless war between God and Satan.
Pitterson sites scripture throughout the book, and has very comprehensive commentary from leading biblical scholars and teachers. He also sites non-biblical canon like the Book of Enoch, but at the same time spends a chapter delving into the issues with this book in its biblical context.
The biblical subject of spiritual warfare, angels, demons and end times has been one my favorite topics since becoming a Christian as a teenager.
There are a few things you may question of his study, some things possibly omitted, but study yourself the Word.
There was some repetition with scripture but the book is more a study than just a fun read. Would liked if Pitterson had included maps of ancient Israel, though that is what the internet and other resources are for.

This is by far the best book I’ve ever read.
I’ve read at least 20 books about the Nephilim or Giants. This book not only makes it easier to understand but puts the entire Old Testament into perspective. I can read my Bible now with so much better understanding of Gods intentions and the life and times of the people of that era. I recommend this book for so many more reasons than just to understanding the Giants of the pre flood and after the flood times,but to understand so many things I can’t begin to put into words on this review. Please get this book you will love it. I wish I was a better word Smith you would probably be more inclined to get this book.

I thought this book was about the NEPHILIM not a condemnation of the book of Enoch. I could write about the non biblical so called Christian books on so called Bible believing Christians bookselves. What is worse is they believe them. Paying for them forgetting that if they were true Bible believers then the writer who claims this was inspired by God should remember the Bible teaching “Freely give as freely you have received”. Not if you want to know what God as said to me it will cost you £20-25! Don’t knock the Book of Enoch completely as you quoted it is referred to by Biblical writers. Which 99.9% of the book on so called reading list would never be.

Precept upon precept...line upon line...
I love the biblical standpoint. It's never about what we think. Prove all things, hold on to it until someone can biblically challenge it. For the confused young people seeking spirituality amongst the occult, read this book and do your homework. Allow yourself to be led to that ROCK that is higher than "I".

I very much looked forward to reading Ryan’s two books on the Nephilim.
There were a few things in the first 100 pages that were not exactly biblically correct, but when I got to p154 where Ryan says God started the new year in the 7th month based on Exodus 12:2, it solidified the expression: One lie among many truths can deceive.
Passover is not in the Hebrew 7th month (Tishri). It is in the Spring, the 1st month (Nissan). Anyone who studies the bible knows God named days: 1-7, and months accordingly. As of Exodus 12:2, God defines the biblical year starting with 1st month. The rest of the world starts the Hebrew civil year in the 7th month (which is when the last 3 of the 7 feasts occur). Ryan is saying Passover starts in this month. Passover is the first feast. They both can’t be true.
Need another example? On p67, Ryan says: “The Bible gives no indication that Mt Hermon was the landing point for angelic invaders…”. In Matthew 16:13-19, Christ even speaks at the base of Mt Hermon, called Caesarea-Philippi, referencing ‘the gates of Hell’. Not least, the Jordan River starts to flow from Mt Hermon. There is a cave / cistern filled with water where it is called Caesarea-Philippi. So Ryan’s references of the Jordan River actually includes Mt Hermon, Caesarea-Philippi, and/or somewhere downstream.
I suggest for all of those giving raving reviews to read the bible to discern Ryan’s opinions / evaluations. Also if you are going to accept Ryan’s comments regarding Book of Enoch and Book of Yasher, get an Ethiopian Bible, where both books have been part of it, possibly created, as early as the year 500.
btw: I absolutely believe in the Nephilim, hence why I wanted to read Ryan’s books in hope to learn more.
Pray to El Shaddai, our Savior, Yeshua of the Holy Spirit for discernment, which also means to actually read though the Word (the bible).

Very well written chronicle of the nephilim and their ultimate fate
Very well-penned expository on who the nephilim are, how they came about, how they are woven into human history and ultimately, how Jesus will vanquish evil forever in the final judgment. I like that Mr. Patterson is devoted to true canon and yet can establish this in spite of contradictions in extra-biblical “scripture” as it relates to these evil ones. He explains how they existed pre-diluvian and “also after that”…Ryan Patterson’s book does not require anything other than a close & devoted reading of the Bible to know all we need to know about these evil spirits, how they have waged war upon humanity in their attempt to corrupt the Kingdom of God, and how they will be defeated forever when Jesus returns.

Excellent
Ryan gives clear understanding of long time questions. It helps me understand & enjoy reading my bible more & who we are in Christ. I'm giving this book as gifts to those who hunger for more of Jesus.

Have you ever wondered about the Fallen Angels, Nephilim, and Rephaim? This work is crucial to understanding why and how the events in Genesis 6 happened and the ramifications it has had on this planet for ages.
November 21, 2021
A lot rides on how one reads Genesis 6. Does Moses describe the godly line of Seth intermarrying with the evil line of Cain? Or does he describe angels' taking human lives? If you follow the latter interpretation, as I and most of the historic church does, a lot of the OT starts to make more sense--references to giants and nephilim and anakim and rephaim and more. God's hatred of the Canaanites makes more sense if they are descended from these evil unions (through Ham's wife, who bore Canaan, who is of course cursed of God in Genesis 9). It explains the ban of intermarriage with Canaanites, and much besides. Not to mention some "odd" portions of the general epistles.
Now, Pitterson has offered a book summarizing much of the evidence. It's not especially well-written. The typesetting is horrible. The reliance on the KJV presents some textual issues. The literalistic premillennial tribulationism makes for some strained reading at times. But it's still worth reading for a discussion of things the modern church tends to ignore.
One thing I'm still mulling over: whence cometh demons? The pat answer is "fallen angels"--but does Scripture ever say this? Pitterson posits they are the souls of dead nephilim, which is also plausible but also unexplicit in Scripture. Food for thought, nevertheless, and more evidence for his case if he happened to be right.

Best ever
This book, because it used scripture to interpret scripture, has helped me understand the scripture around the Nephilim that I have struggled with all mylife. Thank you Mr. Pitterson

There has been a war that has been started 6000 years ago. Humanity was created to be the instruments facing the great war. Unfortunately, by the wickedness of Satan, humanity fell into sin. Sin that will overcome human into death.
From the beginning God has a great plan to lead humanity into redemption plan. God knew that humanity would never be saved without His help. This is the story that led us becoming part of this great war. God would give his only beloved son to redeem all over our sins. So, that we can be reborn and face the wickedness of Satan in the upcoming second return of Jesus.
Pitterson has explained this great story that we are still continue on with great thorough, it is well written and many bible references into depth learning on the topic of Genesis 6 (The sons of God).
I was being shown what is meant for this chapter, that it was being mentioned thoughtfully on all over the bible. As, I began to understand that this creature that was so called Nephilim were indeed the descendant of the fallen angels. We were shown by the writings, with bible references, that these wicked creatures were the enemies from the start, that aimed to corrupt the humanity gene. To have the motive preventing God giving the redeemer that would pay all over our sins.
In the end, Jesus will overcome sins. Glory to be His name !

Such a great book. I learned so much as I read it. I'm so glad that someone has put together the fragments of things in the Bible - that I could not understand - and fill in some big blanks. Every single verse of the Bible has meaning. I knew that but this book truly does make one understand God's love for humanity and His desire to protect it and how he accomplishes it. What an amazing God we have and His love for us in unfathomable.
Because of my interrupted schedule, it took me a few weeks to read it. It was compelling and I kept wanting to get back to it. The breaks were good because it allowed me to think on the words and pray. If you seek Him, you will find Him. You just have to keep seeking and He will show you.

God’s Sovereignty
Thanks Ryan Pitterson for an amazing study of Genesis 6 and how God saved humanity from perdition because of His perfect unconditional love and plan of salvation through the seed of the women-Jesus Christ. That the enemies of humanity, the devil who through his seed the Nephilim tried in vain to keep from coming to save us at Calvary. These topics like the attempt to corrupt the human DNA by the devil to keep Jesus Christ from being born and fallen angels that produced the Nephilim have all but been eliminated from the church pulpit. Thanks for a careful and thorough exegesis.

Now I know
I have always wondered about the wars fought in Canaan and asked why would God give the order to kill even the babies. Now reading this very in-depth scripture based study, I finally have my answer. This was the act of a fiercely protective God to preserve the Holy Seed (of which I am through Jesus Christ) from corruption. Thank you for writing this book Ryan. I thoroughly enjoyed it and re-read several sections. I also to!d several friends with whom I was.In discussion about the Nephillims and recommended it to them
This book also answered the issue of giants on earth after the Flood.
Well written. I p!an to get the paperback

Normally I wouldn't look at a book like this. However, I trusted the recommendation and purchased and read it. I have to say that it was very thought-provoking and challenged my interpretation of the sons of God as expressed in Genesis 6. While I don't hold to a dispensational approach to Scripture, and this was present in a number of places, I found the overall argument good. A few places I found myself thinking he misinterpreted the passage for example the dream of the iron mixed with clay part of the statue in Daniel), and also I was not convinced of his approach to the Ezekiel 31 passage. I certainly will be looking at this passage further however.

Fascinating study of the Nephilim. Highly recommended.
June 26, 2020
Going into this book I had reservations, not knowing anything about the author and being mostly unfamiliar with the subject matter of the Nephilim. I was encouraged that the author specifically chose to follow the Holy scriptures in this study, however, and gave this a try. As a result I found this study intriguing and quite readable. A second go-round with highlighter in hand, or note-taking pen, (and Bible close by) may be necessary. I will definitely check out Pitterson’s followup once available. At times the book suffers from typos, but nothing too offputting. 4 stars.

Read this book NOW !!!
This book makes plain many of the more confusing passages of the Bible. I found that things I didn't understand before were much clearer to me now. Furthermore I would hope that those items that confuse us all will now be understood. I would strongly recommend that anyone who calls themselves Christian, read this in its entirety.

This was very interesting and very detailed. I heard the author on a podcast and was intrigued to know more about what he shared. This book has more than I ever wanted to know about the nephilim. I think he did an astounding amount of study and he could be right….I guess we’ll all know one day. 😂
