The New Prophetic Paradigm
Questions Regarding Genesis 6 and Matthew 24
I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus . . .
that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,
which minister questions,
rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. “
1 Timothy 1:2-4, KJV (Emphasis added)
of questions compiled by members of the Discernment Research Group who have taken
considerable time to research the rise in popularity of prophetic teachings
involving “the Nephilim” among certain evangelicals, especially on the part of those
who in the past have taught biblical prophecy from a dispensational and pre-tribulation
rapture perspective. With the revival of interest in the antediluvian Nephilim
and the role their emergence played in the spread of global corruption at the
time of Noah (Compare Genesis 6:1-5 and Matthew 24:37-41), there has, in an
attempt to relate these creatures to apocalyptic scenarios, arisen a corresponding
reliance upon ancient and modern extra-biblical sources. These non-canonical sources
include apocrypha and pseudepigraphical writings, pagan mythologies, astrology,
signs and symbols of Freemasonry, UFO lore, quantum physics, science fiction,
secret codes and symbols, etc.[1] For the sake of identification, the inclusion of these heterodox sources to create prophetic scenarios might be called “the new prophetic paradigm.”
paradigm” raises questions. For example, what do the Scriptures by themselves
communicate about the Nephilim? What do the Scriptures have to say about the
issues raised by modern-day proponents of Nephilim theories? And in view of the
“other” sources employed to create the new-prophetic scenarios, it must be
asked, are the Scriptures in and by themselves no longer a
sufficient guide to understand Bible prophecy (i.e., the Reformation doctrine
of sola scriptura)?
been esteemed for years by believers who adhere to biblical prophecy taught from a dispensational
pre-millennial and pre-tribulation rapture perspective, we would note two
things about the futuristic scenarios they are creating. First, many other solid Bible
scholars and teachers and pastors are being influenced by this new prophetic
paradigm which embraces both Scripture and mythology. And second, because these teachers are
esteemed and have enjoyed the reputation of being reliable, it becomes
difficult to question their prophetic presupposition—that when combined with
Scripture, extra-biblical sources are reliable authenticators of the
biblical text—without being derided as being divisive and unloving. So we
recognize that the questions we raise may prove controversial. But nonetheless, they should be asked.
regarding the Nephilim have precedence in history. Yet we think it is time to take
another look at this issue as it is currently manifesting itself. Quite possibly the reliable Bible scholars,
teachers and pastors of the past never dreamed that contemporary interpretations
regarding the Nephilim would leap to the extremes as they
now appear to have leapt. Likewise, the Gap Theory has become a gaping chasm into which these “new prophetic paradigm” teachers are inserting their myths.[3] Our fear is that the camel of mythology has now stuck
its nose in the prophetic tent, and given the camel’s fascinating speculations, will wreck the whole tent of prophetic study from the pre-millennial and
dispensational perspective. We think it’s time for some questions to be raised
about the current Nephilim-prophetic construct.
answer to the following questions that arise from the various contemporary versions
regarding the Nephilim teachings? Some of these questions may seem startling,
even shocking.[2]
But we can attest to the fact that these questions arise from reading the scenarios of “the
new Nephilim-prophetic paradigm,”[4]
which in some instances is being sensationally promoted.
entities still spirits? Or are
they both?
for recreation or procreation? Or both?
even if asexually, among themselves? If not, why not?
humans, does this pertain to all angels, or only the fallen angels?
themselves on human females (against their will)? If so, does this include
Christian women? Can women resist this rape? If so, how?
with human women, this would include Satan, right? If so, since he is the
devil, is he able to produce a special class of hybrid with human females more
powerful than the Nephilim supposedly produced by the “Watchers”? Would this
include the Antichrist?
Satan? Does Satan have actual offspring today? If so, then what would make
Antichrist’s demonic birth unique?
relations with human beings? Is it for physical or spiritual corruption—or
both?
which they experience a sexual relationship with an angel/demon that seems real
but is not literal? How can one tell the difference? Are angels/demons able to
implant suggestive and potent imagery into human minds?
sexual euphoria mixed with drugs part of the diverse multicultural pagan
rituals across thousands of years? But, if this is historically true in the
pagan world, why don’t we have documented accounts of this spiritual/physical
act producing hybrid offspring throughout the centuries?
acts – is it literal physical or an illusion? Is it an act of demon obsession
or possession which can alter the rational mind?
Are they able to move between multidimensional or parallel universes?
class of mankind that is able to perform superior feats and interact between
spiritual “planes” of existence?
and the same with angels and/or demons? Nephilim? Or are they a separate class
of hyper-dimensional beings that can potentially interact with angels, demons
and human beings?
live and move?
mind? If so, how are they able to gain access to a man’s mind and soul?
How is this related to the Nephilim and the Watchers?
humanoid or hybrid offspring?
tissue? Does Nephilim DNA possess a unique quality which can be manipulated by
man to create evil life forms? Hybrid chimeras? Mutants? If so, where can one
obtain a sample of Nephilim DNA?
from humans to create demonist creatures? Satanic super-soldiers? Mutant
warriors?
human males and females? If both, then what sinister purpose could these
creatures have for harvesting human sperm or eggs?
corrupt the human gene pool and thus wipe out humanity? Or, create a race of
soul-less creatures that cannot be redeemed by God?
hybrids? Can he breathe nephesh
(soul life) into these hybrid men?
is his motive? How can he manipulate genetic material?
spirit? Can they be redeemed?
they be considered subhuman? Can this offspring be redeemed?
aliens with mankind first occur? What evidence is there of these offspring? Is
there tangible physical and historical proof?
(demons or space aliens) and mankind? Do they reside on earth? If so, where?
ascertain if they are a hybrid? By what measurements and criteria does one
assess another human being to ensure their racial purity?
hybrid/Nephilim? Should there be an authority set up to monitor and assess
human DNA?
what is the biblical rationale for doing this?
are hybrids?
simply very large human beings?
space aliens, hybrids? Were they ancient mythological gods and demigods?
documented?
gene/DNA? Is it possible to have human genetic anomalies (giantism) not related
to the Nephilim hybrids? What negative implications might there be for persons
living today with an extraordinary stature? Should tall people (like
professional basketball players) be assessed for possession of Nephilim DNA?
Could he have been a space alien? How do we know? What facts are there? How
about Og of Bashan? Goliath? Were they fallen angels or human hybrids? If so,
what facts are there to assert this?
with an angel/demon/space alien? What is the proper term?
different entities?
Nephilim spirits that survived the Flood after the human part of the body died?
If so, how can disembodied Nephilim survive the flood to later inhabit a human
body or perform sexual acts to create hybrids? Can they live in another
dimension? If so, how can it be proven?
precisely what Jesus warned about when he talked about the “days of Noah”? Are
disembodied Nephilim space aliens?
that of fallen angels?
other mutant or hybrid creatures returning to earth before His coming? If so,
where?
Nephilim creatures?
half-humans?
a Nephilim?
be exterminated? If so, how is this done? Does it involve high tech warfare?
Star wars?
then specifically define and describe this special kind of spiritual warfare. Is
it dangerous?
creatures?
fell? Or in Genesis 6?
angels, demons, hybrids, Nephilim, or space aliens? What are they? If they are
angels, are they only good angels, only fallen angels, or both? Or something
else?
Christ give His church about how to deal with them? How can we know they are
present?
Apollo/Osiris who live and walk the earth?
accounts genuinely human? Or, hybrids? Demigods? Or, space aliens from distant
galaxies that came to earth to give us knowledge?
return?
beings of ancient Nephilim descent? Literally, will Antichrist be a DNA son of
Satan? Will he be a reincarnation of ancient Nimrod (Apollyon)? Did Antichrist exist
in ancient times?
hybrid? What about the False Prophet? How can this be ascertained? If so, what
is the Christian response? What can we do? What should we do?
can one identify the Antichrist or False Prophet for sure? What are the
biblical criteria for Antichrist? What are the biblical criteria for the False
Prophet? Are there other outside reliable sources of information about the
Antichrist or False Prophet beyond Scripture? Ancient records? Embedded
symbols? Coded mysteries? If so, what are these messages and how can they be
evaluated?
Apollo, and other gods and goddesses? Can this give us insight into end times?
light on Scripture? If so, how do we know it is the truth and not lies?
astrology, fable, folklore, science fiction and other sources into our understanding
of end times?
apocryphal and occult sources? By what criteria can we judge the accuracy of
these other accounts?
what criteria is this determined? Should we make special allowances for
incorporating these ancient pagan and apocryphal sources into what we know from
Scripture because of a pending dire crisis in the end times such as a Nephilim
invasion?
Does it give us insight into the timetable for the Lord’s return?
very learned and trained men can decipher? Are these codes hidden until the
last days?
in other literature, statues, works of art, ancient images, mythology,
astrology, fairy tales, non-biblical prophecies, ancient markings and sacred
sites, the Great Pyramid, UFO lore, quantum physics, and science fiction? If
so, how can the truth be distinguished from error in these sources?
codes that require familiarity with occult methods to unlock, where did Jesus
or one of the biblical prophets instruct how to decipher these codes
sequestered away in Scripture?
human women how did that corrupt the bloodline of Noah? Of David? Of Christ? If
the Messianic line was somehow genetically corrupted, was the protevangelium, the first gospel, rendered null and void (Genesis 3:15)? If so, did Jesus Christ really accomplish our
redemption?
why God saved him from the destruction of the flood? Did God destroy well-nigh
all human life on earth after it had been corrupted by demonic DNA?
about their wives? How can we know for sure? Are some people on earth today
carrying in their bodies a corrupted genetic code? How can we know? And what
should we do about it?
marriage” that Christ warned about in Matthew 24:38? If so, how can one make
sure that their spouse is genetically pure before marrying them? Should there
be a marriage test to check DNA for Nephilim corruption?
and other creatures coming in the skies to do battle with earthlings? If so,
how does Christ battle them? How does mankind battle them?
coming to earth to give us guidance to bring about peace on earth and good-will
toward all?
intellect, advanced science and technology that will facilitate mankind into
building the kingdom of God on earth? Should Christians cooperate with them?
information to mankind by employing digital imagery or by mind-to-mind enlightenment
that will assist certain adepts to discover hidden codes? Are they guiding
humanity towards greater revelation? Do they have superior spiritual
revelations and control mechanisms that will help mankind avoid catastrophe?
in which these space alien creatures will become manifest and begin to
facilitate the events of the end? If so, what should be the response of
Christians everywhere?
to incorporate in these new alternative future scenarios? Will this revision require a
“new prophecy paradigm” shift?
earth in 2012?
on earth? Do these contain accurate prophecies?
and other ancient and modern records as a significant end time date? Is 2012 in
the Bible? If so, where?
demons and space creatures can pass back and forth between our four dimensions
and alternate realities?
that explain Scripture? Should we be forming a new paradigm for interpreting Scripture
that incorporates the scientific discoveries and hypotheses of quantum
theorists?
is quantum physics showing us how to circumvent the space-time continuum? Can
the dimensions of time, matter and space be altered?
Nephilim and Watchers? Do they have superior abilities by which they can pass
between dimensions of time and space? If so, is this innate to them or are they
taught how to do this? If so, by whom and for what purpose? Can these abilities
be passed on to the human race by inter-mating?
beings, are these abilities explained by spiritual or physical attributes? Or
both?
DNA and therefore have superior supernatural abilities? Does this give them
power over normal humans (i.e., like Hitler)? Are they gods? Demi-gods? Should
they be worshiped? Put in positions of power and leadership?
these superior supernatural abilities? Why not? Are these races inferior? What
should happen to them?
some men possess extra insight, extrasensory perception, the ability to see
beyond the five senses? If so, what is the significance of this? Are these
super-humans here to show other humans “the way”?
he human or hybrid? Why is Bigfoot important in end time scenarios? Can he be
redeemed?
of space alien craft landing sites? Are these a significant phenomenon for
Christians to understand? What do they tell us about the Nephilim? Watchers?
Space aliens? Demons? Angels? End times? Return of Christ?
WHERE IS ALL OF THIS IN THE
BIBLE? Using Scripture to interpret Scripture, how does one answer the
speculative questions we have asked, questions which arise from reading and
interacting with the sensational writings of the teachers of “the new prophetic
paradigm”?
but wanting to have their ears tickled,
they will accumulate for themselves teachers
in accordance to their own desires;
and will turn away their ears from the truth,
and will turn aside to myths.”

Herescope, the utilization of these outside sources has been extensively
documented. See the list of articles included at the bottom of this post. See especially Pastor Larry DeBruyn’s articles “‘Babylon Rising’ and Canon in Crisis: Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Fresh Revelations, and an ‘Open’ Canon,” https://herescope.net/2013/01/babylon-rising-and-canon-in-crisis.html and “Demons, Daughters and DNA,” Guarding His Flock Ministries; http://guardinghisflock.com/2011/06/22/demons-daughters-and-dna/ and https://herescope.net/2011/06/demons-daughters-and-dna.html

one enters the realm of UFO lore especially, some of the more extreme elements
included in these questions become apparent.

exhaustively footnote the many sources from which these questions arose, it
would have been overwhelming and literally run into the thousands. Rather, we
refer the reader to our previous writings on these topics for starters (see list below) to
familiarize themselves with the beliefs of the “new prophetic paradigm” and get
an overview of their outside sources.
