but as the days of

Noah were, so shall
also the coming of the
Son of man be ...
are we living in those
days?

Luke 17:26 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the
days of the Son of man.
Matthew 24:37 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.

Have you ever wondered about these passages1 ?

Why does Yshua2 [Jesus] describe
the last days as like the days of
Noah? I mean, this is pretty specific
why not like the days of Egypt? Or
the time of the Tower of Babel? Or
the very time Yshua [Jesus] walked
the earth the Greeks and Romans
were quite a wicked culture ...
Growing up in the church, Ive
always been taught that this just
referred to the level of iniquity and
wickedness at the time of Noah.
True but man has been wicked
and involved with iniquity since the
fall in the Garden is that all there
is to this?
How do we know when the wickedness and iniquity has reached the point it
was in the days of Noah? Im not dismissing this teaching the days of Noah
were certainly very wicked. I just think there is a very important piece of the
puzzle weve been missing all these years, which the FATHER is busy
highlighting again, particularly in terms of prophecy. The question is

Just what was so significant about the days of Noah?

1 Please note, unless indicated, I will be using Scriptures from either the KJV or

the Ampli=ied Version.

2 Yshua (Hebrew) is Jesus real name, which means Salvation. I have no

problem with the name Jesus it is merely the Greek transliteration of

Yshua. Jesus is the name most of us grew up with. Remember though, Yshua
was a Jew, of the Tribe of Judah, not a Greek. Its sort of like this when you
come to know someones real name, you want to use it, hence the use of Yshua
instead of Jesus. Another powerful reason to use Yshua is that every time you
say His Name, you are proclaiming Salvation. You will also note in some places,
I have used the real Name of the FATHER, YHVH. The Name is made up of the
Hebrew letters, Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey, and is most commonly pronounced Yahweh
or Jehovah. Again, I have chosen to use this, as YHVH is the FATHERs Name.

To answer this, we need to go back to the beginning and have a good look at
Genesis 6 this is where it really gets interesting!
Before continuing, just a quick note about this article it is designed to be
interactive, with the idea of almost having a conversation so, please excuse
the grammar and very informal way of writing, but there is just so much
information to share (and video links to watch), that there is just no other way
to write. Also, this article is not meant to re-invent the wheel there are so
many solid Bible teachers and scholars that are writing and teaching on this
subject, the main purpose of this article is to present the truth/concept of
Genesis 6 and the days of Noah, and direct you to the excellent research and
information available.
One more thing before we carry on were going to have a look at Genesis 6
section by section, however please read the entire Chapter before continuing.
This will give you a better idea of the big picture, before we look at some of
the finer details.
Genesis 6:1-4 WHEN MEN began to multiply on the face of the land and
daughters were born to them, 2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of
men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired and chose. 3 Then the
Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is
flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years. 4 There were giants on the earth in
those daysand also afterwardwhen the sons of God lived with the
daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty
men who were of old, men of renown.

Wait, wait, wait what exactly are these verses describing?

What does it mean that the sons of GOD saw the daughters of men, took
wives and birthed giants? Lets look at another translation the Tanakh 3
translates the key verses as
Genesis 6:1-4 When men began to increase on earth and daughters were
born to them, 2 the divine beings saw how beautiful the daughters of men
were and took wives from among those that pleased them.3 The Lord
said, My breath shall not abide in man forever, since he too is flesh; let the
days allowed him be one hundred and twenty years.4 It was then, and later
too, that the Nephilim appeared on earthwhen the divine beings
cohabited with the daughters of men, who bore them offspring. They
were the heroes of old, the men of renown.
So, what are we talking about in this passage? The short answer?

3 Jewish Publication Society. (1997, c1985). Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures : A new

translation of the Holy Scriptures according to the traditional Hebrew text.

Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society.

Fallen angels (sons of GOD) having sexual

relations with natural earth-women (daughters
of men), producing some-sort of hybrids
called Nephilim (translated as giants,
mighty men, and men of renown).
How is this possible? How can we interpret4
the passage to mean this? Douglas Hamp
has recently written a brilliant book called
Corrupting The Image below is an excerpt
of the book, taken from his website (http://
www.douglashamp.com/), which answers
this question. Please note, I have added my
own comments in {brackets}.
THE SONS OF GOD: The phrase the
sons of God appears ten times in the
Bible (NKJV), twice in Genesis 6, three times in the Book of Job
and five times in the New Testament in Hebrew this phrase
benei haelohim [sons of GOD] appears four times while benei
elohim appears once in Job 38:7 the only variation is the
definite article {the ha}. God responds to Jobs request to show
up and explain the meaning of the tremendous suffering that Job
has just endured (Job 38:7) by asking where he was in the
beginning: When the morning stars sang together, and all the
sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:7).
God makes reference to the fact that Job was not there when
He laid the foundation of the earth, and the implication is that no
human was there for that matter. Therefore we see from the
usage here that sons of God refers to angels. This is backed
by the Septuagint which translates all three of the Job passages
as angels instead of the Hebrew sons of God evidently the
Jews who translated Job into Greek from Hebrew felt that sons
of God were angels and not humans. The NET Bible
commentary confirms this understanding: In the Book of Job
the phrase clearly refers to angelic beings, (NET Bible
Commentary Genesis 6:2). In the beginning of the Book of Job
we read:

4 The understanding that Genesis 6 describes fallen angels co-habiting with

natural earth-women, producing Nephilim, was the common/accepted

interpretation of the passage throughout Biblical times, including the time of
Yshua [Jesus]. It is only later in history (particularly in modern times) that other
false interpretations of the passage (such as the sons of Seth argument) began
to be taught. Check out Dougs website for more research on refuting these false
arguments and interpretations, as well as the work of Chuck Missler and the
other recommended links.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among
them. And the LORD said to Satan, From where do you come?
So Satan answered the LORD and said, From going to and fro
on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it. (Job 1:6-7)
Again, we note that the Septuagint has translated sons of God
as the angels of God. To the ancient Jew at least, this phrase
was clearly talking about angelic beings. The fact that Satan
appeared among their number would suggest that these sons
of God are fallen angels. After all, from what we read
concerning angels in both the Old Testament (Isaiah, Ezekiel,
Daniel, etc.) and New Testament (especially Revelation), angels
(that is the good ones) already have access to the Presence of
God. Thus, to state that one day they came before the LORD,
would seem a bit odd unless it referred to demons. We should
also remember that the term malakh in Hebrew and angelos in
Greek both generally mean messenger.
The messenger can be either good or bad, and can be earthly (a
man) or heavenly (an angelic being). Jesus at the judgment of
the nations will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from
Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil
and his angels [tois angelois] (Matthew 25:41). If the devil has
angels and they are cast into the lake of fire, then they cannot
be good angels. Thus they are fallen angels from the
references in Job, and how the term is translated in both the
Septuagint and Targumim, we conclude that the term sons of
God is referring to angelic beings (good or bad). The fact that
Satan appeared with the sons of God and the fact that Jesus
refers to the devil and his angels, leads us to further conclude
that the reference in Genesis Chapter Six is talking about fallen
angels (demons 5).
The New English Translation (NET Bible) commentary
discusses the three different positions commonly held, and
emphasizes that the angel interpretation is favorable over the
others.
There are three major interpretations of the phrase here.

5 This is one point I do not agree with Doug Hamps understanding demons and

fallen angels are not the same. A fallen angel is a celestial being with a body. A
demon is an evil/unclean spirit without a body. They are two distinct and
separate entities. There is a theory that, to me, seems to make the most sense
that demons are the spirits of the Nephilim who died in the =lood. Because
Nephilim are demonic-hybrids, their physical bodies perished, but their spirits
remained. For this reason demons seek a body to inhabit.

ONE: In the Book of Job the phrase clearly refers to angelic

beings. In Genesis 6 the sons of God are distinct from
humankind, suggesting they were not human. This is
consistent with the use of the phrase in Job. Since the passage
speaks of these beings co-habiting with women, they must have
taken physical form or possessed the bodies of men. An early
Jewish tradition preserved in 1 Enoch 6-7 elaborates on this
angelic revolt and even names the ringleaders.
TWO: Not all scholars accept the angelic interpretation of the
sons of God, however. Some argue that the sons of God
were members of Seths line, traced back to God through Adam
in Genesis 5, while the daughters of humankind were
descendants of Cain. But, as noted above, the text distinguishes
the sons of God from humankind (which would include the
Sethites as well as the Cainites) and suggests that the
daughters of humankind are human women in general, not just
Cainites.
THREE: Others identify the sons of God as powerful tyrants,
perhaps demon-possessed, who viewed themselves as divine
and, following the example of Lamech (see Genesis 4:19),
practiced polygamy. But usage of the phrase sons of God in
Job militates against this view, (NET Notes Genesis 6:2,
emphasis mine).
NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE: To some
people, fallen angels having the ability to take physical form and
procreate would seem to create a contradiction in Scripture. In
Matthew 22:30 we read: For in the resurrection they neither
marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
This would seem to say that angels are not capable of having
offspring and if that is the case, then Genesis 6 could certainly
not be referring to fallen angels having some type of sexual
relations with women. The parallel passage in Luke sheds more
light on the text and seems to be a fuller rendering of what
Jesus said on the subject, whereas the Matthean and Markan
accounts are abbreviated. In Luke we read:
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age
and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are
given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they
are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the
resurrection, (Luke 20:35-36).

Notice that Jesus says that those who attain that age and the
resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in
marriage for they cannot die anymore. The thrust of the
passage is not the potential of sexual ability in heaven!
Remember, the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection, were
trying to pull a fast one on Jesus by asking whose wife the
woman (having seven husbands) would be in heaven. The
question and answer had nothing to do with the ability to pass
on seed [produce offspring], but rather to the fact that there is a
resurrection of the dead; the new order is different than the here
and now.
God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful (that is to have sexual
relations) and fill the earth. From Jesus words we see that there
will be no need for any more procreation (to fill the earth) for
they cannot die anymore. However, this verse cannot be used
to prove that angelic beings lacked the ability to mingle their
seed with the daughters of men. It would seem that they were
merely forbidden to do so (as we will see from 2 Peter and Jude
as well as extra-biblical sources).
CONCLUSION: We saw earlier that the term sons of God
refers to angels and humans who are direct creations of God.
Angels are all by definition sons of God since they do not have
parents, but were produced directly by God. We therefore
conclude that the sons of God in Genesis 6 were in fact angels
who had relations with the daughters of Adam. The text in
Genesis 6 doesnt say if they were good or bad angels, but
based on the flood that followed, it is safe to assume that they
were fallen angels.
Okay so we have fallen angels having sexual relations with natural earthwomen, creating Nephilim so who are the Nephilim? Lets have a look, as
Doug Hamp continues:
Previously we saw that the sons of God were in fact fallen
angels who had relations with the daughters of Adam. Their
union produced unique offspring which the Bible refers to as
Nephilim. The Nephilim (hanephilim) were on the earth in those
days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the
daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were
the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown, (Genesis
6:4 ESV). The Hebrew word Nephilim comes from the root
naphal, meaning to fall. Gesenius in his Hebrew Lexicon notes:
Those who used to interpret the passage in Genesis of the fall
of the angels, were accustomed to render Nephilim fallers,
rebels, apostates.

The Greek Septuagint, translated approximately 270 B.C.

translates the word as the giants. We find that this same word
was used in classical Greek literature to refer to men or
creatures that were half-god and half-man. Jonathan M. Hall in
his book Ethnic Identity In Greek Antiquity notes that gegenes
in fact means earth born From the time of the Iliad,
Erekhtheus was treated as a son of the earth, and Herodotus
calls him gegenes (earth-born), gigantic, or monstrous.
In Greek mythology the Giants (from gegenes) were the children
of Heaven (Uranos) and Earth (Gaea) The giants of Greek
mythology, or Gigantes (the earth-born) as they are called in the
Greek tongue, were a class of oversized and ofttimes monstrous
men who were closely related to the gods.
Consider also Kekrps, who according to Apollodorus was the
first king of Attica, was known as a ggens, the upper part of
whose body was human, while the lower was that of a dragon.

Could there be a connection between

Mount Hermon (the first portal opened in Genesis 6)
and Mount Olympus?
If the translators of the Septuagint didnt want us to think about
demigods or men of enormous stature, they sure picked the
wrong word!

10

However, if by gegenes they understood hybrids between fallen

angels (the gods) and women, then they chose the perfect
word to describe these un-Godly and unnatural creatures, which
parallels the Biblical description of the sons of God (from the
heavenlies) coming down to earth and fathering children.
Considering the exposure those Alexandrian Jews must
certainly have had to Greek literature and the numerous stories
of giants, we would be completely ignoring their testimony if we
were to understand the word as anything other than creatures
who were hybrids of fallen angels and humans who were also
of colossal stature. In fact, in Greek mythology these Giants
were sometimes thirty feet tall! If the translators had wanted to
merely indicate that these men were the offspring of the godly
line of Seth and the ungodly line of Cain, they should have
chosen a different word.
Targum Jonathan translates Genesis 6:4 Schamchazai and
Uzziel, who fell from heaven, were on the earth in those days.
Shamchazai and Uzziel were fallen angels that we saw in the
book of Enoch as being the ones that took the daughters of
men. Targum Jonathan specifically adds who fell from heaven
giving testimony to how they understood the word Nephilim.
Targum Onkelos translates the verse in a similar fashion:
Giants were in the earth in those days; and also when, after
that the sons of the mighty had gone in unto the daughters of
men, (Targum Onkelos, Genesis 6:4 emphasis mine). The
interpretation of this verse is very consistent in the ancient
witnesses Demons {see my footnote on page six, I would say
the fallen angels} came down from their habitation and took
wives and from their sexual union came a race of giants which
were hybrids: half-man and half-demon {fallen angel}.
For those who havent been exposed to any of this before, all this may be
quite overwhelming but, lets continue the big picture will start to
appear, I promise.
Alright weve sort of jumped into the deep end, so before continuing our
study in Genesis 6, lets go back a bit more, to the very, very beginning. We
need to refresh our Biblical worldview. Now, theres a lot we could talk about
with each point, but lets keep it simple and just go through the highlights.

Genesis 1.
o Our Loving ABBA creates the entire UNIVERSE with His Words 6
and forms man in His Image. This is so powerful! We were
created in the very IMAGE of YHVH (GOD)!

6 For additional study on the power of sound (words) and music, see the booklet

Gateways Of In8luence.

11

Lucifer Rebels.
o Somewhere along the timeline from creation to that moment of
the temptation of Eve in the Garden, Lucifer and a third of the
angels rebel against YHVH (GOD). Note, Lucifer was/is an
angel so are the third that rebelled with him. Hence, these are
your FALLEN angels.

Lucifer at war against YHVH (GOD).

o This is something we really need to remember. The enemy
doesnt just casually dislike YHVH (GOD) and His Kingdom he
passionately, deeply, to the very core of his being HATES the
FATHER, the FATHERs Creation, His Kingdom, and particularly,
the FATHERs Plan of REDEMPTION. The enemys entire
agenda, plan, ambition main goal is to war against GOD, in
order to be GOD (see Isaiah 14:12-14). We really need to keep
this in mind as we continue on this topic this is the answer to
the WHY.

Lets think about it say you passionately HATE GOD, but then GOD is GOD
so theres not much you can do on that point. What else can you do? Destroy,
CORRUPT, and defile that which is the pinnacle of the FATHERs Creation
that which is His Heart and made in His Very Image mankind (a loving/
intimate fellowship with you and me, like in the Garden). So enemy step
number one, cause man to also rebel against GOD.
Success we see this occurs in Genesis
3:1-7.
Genesis 3:1-7 1 Now the serpent was
more subtil than any beast of the field
which the LORD God had made. And he
said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden? 2 And the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall
not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in
the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And
the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and
they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

12

Ah! But our ABBA being Who He is full of mercy, compassion, and grace
has already seen this (remember, the Scriptures tell us Yshua7 [Jesus] was
slain before the foundations of the world, Revelation 13:8) and continues with
His Plan of REDEMPTION. Lets have a look at the Scriptures:
Genesis 3:14-18 14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you
have done this, you are cursed above all [domestic] animals and above every
[wild] living thing of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and you shall eat
dust [and what it contains] all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring;
He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and
bruise His heel. 16 To the woman He said, I will greatly multiply your grief
and your suffering in pregnancy and the pangs of childbearing; with spasms of
distress you will bring forth children. Yet your desire and craving will be for
your husband, and he will rule over you. 17 And to Adam He said, Because
you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of
the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground
is under a curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat [of the fruits]
of it all the days of your life. 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth for
you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.
So we see there were/are serious consequences (death) in the choice Adam
and Eve made in eating of the Tree but lets not overlook something
important in the first couple verses here the FATHER gives us a real key to
understanding the war we are in, a theme you will find throughout the
Scriptures that is, the TWO opposing seeds:
Genesis 3:14-15 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou
hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy
life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between
thy seed and her Seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel.
Please note a few key points in this passage:

7 This is so beautifully foreshadowed in the very verses after the Fall! Adam and

Eve sin, their eyes are opened. Immediately in verse seven, they try to make their
own salvation, try to =ix the problem themselves. Of course, =ig leaves dont
even begin to restore what has just happened. And yet, what do we see next? The
FATHER comes looking for them He knows they have eaten of the Tree, and yet
still seeks them out. The next verses (Genesis 3:16-19) discuss the consequences
of this choice. Because of love, ABBA has to expel Adam and Eve from the Garden
what if they ate of the Tree of Life? They would then live forever, with no
redemption! But, here is where we see the foreshadow of Yshua (Jesus) before
expelling them from the Garden, ABBA clothes them (Genesis 3:21). It is only
GOD Who can bring redemption we are clothed/covered by Yshua (Jesus)!

13

We see that the enemy indeed has seed that which is able to
produce some-sort of offspring.

We see that redemption (Messiah) will come through the seed of the
woman (another foreshadow to Yshua [Jesus]).

We see that these two seeds are opposite and at war with one another.

This is the reality there are only TWO seeds 8, TWO kingdoms, TWO
choices (life or death) black or white, no grey (do not be lukewarm) youre
either of the one, or of the other. And this is another theme youll find
throughout the Scriptures the FATHER does not like or allow mixtures. From
the beginning, kind was to produce after kind in the physical, we are not to
have mixed seed (trans-species, hybrids, Nephilim), and in the spiritual, we
are not to have mixed worship (GODs Ways and Worship mixed with
paganism, the occult, or worship of self). Why?
Two basic reasons:
1. GOD is GOD, Creator of the Universe as such, He gets to make the
rules.
2. GOD really and truly is SMARTER than we are and He is all about
LOVE He is, in EVERY WAY, absolutely GOOD. He knows that
mixture, to some degree or another, brings about death and corruption,
two things that are directly opposite to Him and His Kingdom, as He is
LIFE. GOD has determined there are to be boundaries and barriers,
which for our own good are not to be crossed. In both the physical
and spiritual aspects, our ABBA knows mixture corrupts and harms/
hinders His Beautiful Plan of REDEMPTION.
Lets go back to the enemys war against GOD Id summarize his goals/
strategies as follows:
War against and try to dethrone
GOD.

Cant really do this try other

avenues of warfare.

War against that which is made in

GODs Image, man cause man to
also rebel against GOD.

Done. Process started with the fall.

Deceived Adam and Eve, bringing
death into the world.

War against GODs Creation.

Done. Process started death

brought into creation through the fall.

GODs Plan of REDEMPTION!

8 Brad Scott of WildBranch Ministry (http://www.wildbranch.org/) has an

excellent teaching on the principle of the seed and the understanding of the two
opposing seeds.

14

STOP, remove, and/or CORRUPT all

possibility of REDEMPTION for man.

As well see, this is what is being

worked on in the days of Noah with
the mingling of the seed.

Turn mens hearts against GOD, to

rebel against GOD.

Process started with the fall

continues with Nimrod and the Tower
of Babel. This is an ongoing agenda.

So, we saw in Genesis 3:15 that

Messiah was to come through the seed
of the woman. At that time, the enemy
also realised this. He doesnt know
how this whole Plan of Redemption will
unfold, but he picks up the clue that it
involves the seed of the woman.
Whats his counter-attack to this?
Corrupt the seed the DNA of the
woman (mankind), in order to prevent
the birth 9 of Messiah. And this is
exactly what we see in Genesis 6
the mingling of the seed, both transspecies and with the fallen angels,
producing the Nephilim.
This is what is so significant about the
days of Noah! The barriers YHVH (GOD) had LOVINGLY put in place were
being crossed to such an extent that judgement was absolutely necessary in
order to still save mankind. Lets go back to Genesis 6
Genesis 6:5-7 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,
and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have
made them.
Have you ever wondered why the FATHER had to bring about such a
destructive judgment, such as a WORLD-WIDE flood? I mean, if only the
humans are wicked shouldnt the judgment be upon them? Why wipe-out
the WHOLE earth? Including the animals, the birds, the insects everything?

9 You see this theme throughout the Scriptures with Esther, the enemy tries to

annihilate the Jews (from whom Messiah is to be born). Even at Yshuas (Jesus)
birth, the enemy tries to kill Yshua (Jesus) through Herods command to kill
every child under two years of age.

15

Growing up, this used to be difficult for me why did GOD absolutely destroy
the earth and basically everything in it? Well, now properly understanding
Genesis 6, He had to. There was such corruption, such a mixture of the seed,
that if He did not intervene, there would be no redemption!

So, the great flood was actually an act of LOVE!

As we continue reading the account, we see that GOD is GOD, and He is
keeping with His Plan of Redemption through the line of Noah, who was
perfect in his generations
Genesis 6:8-10 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 These
are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his
generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Why did GOD choose Noah?
1. Noah was a just a righteous man who walked after (shmad) GOD
and His Instructions.
2. Noah was perfect in his generations. The word perfect here is
Strongs Hebrew 8549. Meaning, in his generations, Noah was
without blemish, complete, without spot, undefiled, upright, whole
this is referring to Noahs seed, his DNA! Noah was of unmixed seed!
So, as we finish reading the Chapter, note that the Scriptures declare that
ALL flesh ALL humans (except for Noah and his family), animals, plants
had been corrupted, necessitating GODs LOVING Intervention.
Genesis 6:11-22 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth
was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it
was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And
God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is
filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the
earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark,
and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which
thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the
breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A window shalt
thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of
the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories
shalt thou make it. 17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon
the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven;
and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 18 But with thee will I establish
my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy
wife, and thy sons wives with thee.

16

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into
the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20 Of
fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of
the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them
alive. 21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt
gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22 Thus did
Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Bet you never knew Genesis 6 was such an interesting Chapter!

So, is that it story over? The mixed seed, Nephilim, and all the corruption
were destroyed in the flood? Well, not quite. GOD preserves Noah and his
family, and from Noah all the earth is re-populated. But, dont forget the little
phrase at the beginning of Genesis 6:
Genesis 6:4 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.
and also after that was there corruption and mingling of the seed after
the flood? Very much so. Lets look at some examples:

Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) the men want to have sexual
relations with the two angels! Could it be that GOD judged the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah because there was a crossing of the barriers
(fallen angels co-mingling) and a corruption of the seed? Seems so.

Numbers 13 the twelve spies come back with their report of the Land.
What do they say? The Land is good, but they are very afraid there
are giants in the Land!

Og, king of Bashan (Deuteronomy 3:11) the Scriptures describe Og

as being very tall, a descendant of the giants.

Goliath (2 Samuel 21:10) Goliath is a giant, a descendant of the

giants.

Doug Hamp goes into more detail

Lets now look at what else the Bible has to say about these
gigantic half-man, half-demon [fallen angels] hybrids. First of all,
we note that there are a series of verses which act as equations
just like saying: A=B=C. Even though each letter is unique and
has a different name, the value is the same for all. For example
four quarters are equal to ten dimes, which are equal to one
dollar.

17

In the same way, the verses concerning the Nephilim show us

that they were known by different names in different countries,
but they were equal and one and the same.
The following table demonstrates the equation of giants to each
other that appears in Scripture. In the left column is the name
given to a group of giants (starting with the Nephilim) with an
equal sign to the name of the corresponding giants in another
place. The right column gives the truncated portion of Scripture
that proves the relationship. The complete verses are given in
appendix four for review (ESV is used for clarity of the names).

Table: Correlation of Names of Nephilim

Names

Scriptures (emphasis mine)

Nephilim = Anakim

The descendants of Anak came from the giants

[Nephilim], (Numbers 13:33)

Anakim = Rephaim =
Emim

The Emim formerly lived there, a people great

and many, and tall as the Anakim. Like the
Anakim they are also counted as Rephaim, but
the Moabites call them Emim (Deuteronomy
2:10,11 ESV)

Rephaim =
Zamzummim = Anakim

(It is also counted as a land of Rephaim.

Rephaim formerly lived there-but the Ammonites
call them Zamzummim- a people great and
many, and tall as the Anakim (Deuteronomy
2:20-21a, ESV)

Og, King of Bashan =

Rephaim

Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant

of the Rephaim, (Deuteronomy 3:11 ESV)

Bashan = Rephaim

All that portion of Bashan is called the land of

Rephaim, (Deuteronomy 3:13, ESV).

Sihon of the Amorites

= Rephaim =
Amorites

For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the

Amorites (Numbers 21:26 ESV).

Og, King of Bashan =

Rephaim = Amorites

His land and the land of Og, the king of Bashan,

the two kings of the Amorites, who lived to the
east beyond the Jordan; (Deuteronomy 4:47
ESV).
What you did to the two kings of the Amorites
[] Sihon and Og. (Joshua 2:10).

18

Goliath and his

brothers = Anakim =
Rephaim

At Gath, where there was a man of great stature,

[] and he also was descended from the giants
[Rephaim, LXX reads: from the giants,
], (2 Samuel 21:20 ESV).
Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite [Gath].
[] at Gath, [] he also was descended from
the giants [Rephaim, LXX reads: giants,
]. [] These were descended from the
giants in Gatt (I Chronicles 20:5-6, 8 ESV).

In addition to the verses above, we see that Abraham was the

first to encounter the Rephaim, Zuzim (presumably the
Zamzummim) and Emim in the land. They remained there
through the days of Joshua and Judges.

In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings

who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim
in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in
Shaveh-kiriathaim, (Genesis 14:5, ESV, emphasis
mine).
In the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim,
(Joshua 17:15 ESV, emphasis mine).
For you heard on that day how the Anakim were
there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord
will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the
Lord said. (Joshua 14:12 ESV, emphasis mine).
The name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (Arba
was the greatest man among the Anakim), (Joshua
14:15).

After the battle, which Abram led to rescue his nephew Lot, God
showed up and promised to Abram that he would have a son
and would inherit the land. He mentions something very
interesting concerning the Amorites: for the iniquity of the
Amorites is not yet complete, (Genesis 15:16).
Notice that the reason that his descendants will come back in
the fourth generation is because of the iniquity of the Amorites,
suggesting that the Amorites, who were Nephilim, were
performing great wickedness in the meantime.
We next encounter the Amorites just after Israel had received
the Law [Torah] at Mount Sinai. Within a years time, God led
them up to the border of the Promised Land and God specifically
mentioned that His Angel would go before you and bring you in
to the Amorites and I will cut them off.

19

You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do
according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them
and completely break down their sacred pillars, (Exodus 23:23,
24). We find that the Amorites were still in the land into the time
of Judges from the passage do not fear the gods of the
Amorites in whose land you dwell (Judges 6:10).
Finally the moment of truth for the Israelites after coming out of
Egypt, was when they arrived at the border of the Promised
Land, at Kadesh Barnea. They sent in spies to check out the
land who returned saying that the land was all that God had said
it was.
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the
Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the
Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan. But Caleb
quieted the people before Moses and said, Let us go up at once
and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.
Then the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able
to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.
So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land
that they had spied out, saying, The land, through which we
have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants,
and all the people that we saw in it are of great height.
And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come
from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like
grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them (Numbers 13:29-33,
ESV).
The fact that God commanded the Israelites to destroy man
woman and child becomes logical if we understand that (as the
text says) all people in the land were not merely sons of Adam,
but were a mix between the sons of God (demons) and human
women, just like in the days of Noah.
This is such an IMPORTANT point! Unless you understanding Genesis 6 and
the mingling of the seed, you will think GOD is being cruel when He
commands that certain cities and/or peoples be utterly destroyed, when in
fact, He is LOVINGLY preserving the rest of the seed (mankind).

So, are you wondering just how tall some of these giants were?
Well, for some of these guys, tall may be an understatement! It is interesting
that whenever the Scriptures describe the giants, those descendants of the
fallen angels and Nephilim, they are for the most part, described as being
TALL.

20

Read the first few Chapters of Deuteronomy again and again, Moses
describes the giants as being tall men of great stature. Just how tall was
Og, king of Bashan? The Scriptures give us a description of his bed:
Deuteronomy 3:11 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant
of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of
the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits
the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
Theres a bit of debate of just how long a cubit is, but either way, old Og was
definitely TALL!

And, if you think thats tall Og very well could have been a small-fry! YHVH
describes the Amorites (the giants) as being tall like the cedars!
Amos 2:9 9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was
like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed
his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

21

No wonder in Numbers 13 the spies describe themselves as being like

grasshoppers compared to the giants!
This was the reality the inhabitants of the Land were giants, YET GOD
promised the victory! He would fight for Israel, and they WOULD possess the
Land if they only believed and trusted in Him!
Hmmm so the Scriptures actually have quite a bit to say about fallen
angels, giants, and the mingling of the seed but what about historical
evidence? Was this just happening during the times of the Old Testament,
amongst the peoples in and around the Land?
In understanding Genesis 6 and the enemys agenda to mingle the seed
and the interaction of the fallen angels with humans I now have a bit of a
different (corrected) view of history.
Could it be that the stories and folklore we use to think of as myths arent
actually myths, but are accounts of interactions with the fallen angels? Could
it be that many of the ancient technologies (such as the building of the
Pyramids, which we still cant figure out) came from the fallen angels? Id say
yes.

22

Think about the Greek and Roman myths you have these mighty men with
tremendous strength and powers, that are children of the gods (fallen
angels) and natural earth-women. Hercules, for instance, is the son of Zeus
and the mortal Alcmene Perseus, the Greek hero, is another son of Zeus
and the mortal Danae. You can go even farther back, to one of the earliest
myths Gilgamesh and his epic story. Gilgamesh is described as being twothirds god, and one-third man sounds like a repeat of Genesis 6 to me.
Many ancient cultures and civilizations have such myths accounts of the
gods coming to earth, interacting with man, and many times, birthing
children who are mighty heroes.
The History Channel has done episode after episode of Ancient Aliens and
much of this information is true. The series reveals ancient technologies and
strange discoveries from civilizations around the world HOWEVER, their
conclusions are dangerous (and youll see why I use this term later). Looking
at the evidence from a Biblical worldview the only way we should look and
filter information through the aliens and supernatural, other beings are
merely the fallen angels the Scriptures warn us about way back in Genesis 6.
And what about the mixing of the kinds (species)? Could it also be that the
creatures we use to think were, again, just myths, are actually real
creatures? Creatures created by crossing the barriers GOD put in place, and
mixing the kinds? Again, Id say yes. They had to have originated from
somewhere (Genesis 6) you dont just make legends like that up, and you
dont find the same sort of legend throughout the world, in many different
cultures.

23

There is an interesting Scripture in 2 Samuel

2 Samuel 23:20 20 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant man of Kabzeel,
who had done many notable acts, slew two lionlike men of Moab. He went
down also and slew a lion in a pit on a snowy day.
Could the verse be describing men who were part lion? Maybe.
Okay so understanding all this is good, necessary but, lets bring it home.
Remember how we started out?
Luke 17:26 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the
days of the Son of man.
Matthew 24:37 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.
Now the penny should start to drop what were the days of Noah like? Rife
with wickedness, iniquity, sin yes.
But what was really significant about those days was Genesis 6 the fallen
angels co-habiting with the women, and the mixing/corruption of the seed.
The questions is

Are we living in days like the days of Noah?

Well, Id like to present you some things to consider (these are just a few
things), and encourage you to make your own conclusion.
First, if we are in the days of Noah what sort of things should we see?

Wickedness, iniquity, lawlessness (Torah-lessness), sin,

Increased supernatural activity,

Fallen angels co-habiting with natural earth-women,

Mingling/tampering of the DNA/seed both human DNA and plant

DNA,

Crossing of GOD-ordained boundaries between the species.

Is there any evidence of this today? This is the interactive part of the article
in order to have a look at the information, you will need to visit the links.
Are researchers and scientists today tampering/mixing the DNA, and crossing
the barriers GOD established? Very much so and they have been at this for
quite some time, since the early 1990s and the rise of GMO foods.

Did you hear about Enviro-Pig?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAfCauLF-14
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1344172/FrankenswinePigs-genetically-modified-smell.html

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/03/100330-bacon-pigsenviropig-dead-zones/

Below is an excerpt from one of the articles 10 on Enviro-Pig:

Canada Approves Enviropig, Piglets Inherit Genetic
Modifications For Clean Manure
Canada has approved limited production
of animals dubbed "enviropigs," a
genetically modified breed of pigs
producing up to 65% less phosphorous
in pig poo and urine.
The pigs pass the genetic modification
along to their young, as well.
The very idea that a genetically modified
animal rates the moniker "enviro-" points
to the severity of the issue addressed by
the science behind these pigs.
Phosphorous is a fertilizer. Phosphorous
in animal and human wastes runs off or discharges to surface
waters, where it spurs large algal blooms.
The algae use up the oxygen in the water, leaving behind a
"dead zone," an area of lake, river, or ocean where nothing can
live due to the hypoxic conditions.
How does the enviropig work? And does the dead zone problem
justify permitting production of these "franken-pigs"?
The genetic modification used by scientists at the University of
Guelph, Ontario involves an enzyme known as phytase.
Phosphorous plays an essential role in the growth of bones,
construction of DNA and RNA, and in regulating cell and organ
processes.
But most of the phosphorous in a grain-based diet are bound up
as organic complexes which pigs cannot digest. Supplementing
pig diets with phytase, itself produced from genetically modified
fungi Aspergillus Niger, has been advocated as an
environmental protection measure.

10 By Christine Lepisto, Berlin on 04.04.2010, Science & Technology, taken from

http://www.treehugger.com/=iles/2010/04/canada-approves-enviropig-
genetic-modi=ication-inherited.php

26

Scientists spent over a decade searching for the genetic secret

to digestion of organic phosphorous. They found the genes in
the DNA of Escherichia Coli bacteria. In order to ensure the
segment of DNA could function in mammals, scientists paired
the E. coli DNA with a DNA promotor from mice. The promotor
takes care that the bacterial DNA is transcribed.
In fact, early tests showed that the genetic modification not only
enables pigs to produce phytase in their saliva, but the ability is
inherited. Pigs in the eighth generation still have the gene, which
has been transmitted unaltered to successive piglets.
Unlike some genetically modified strains, which are engineered
or contractually designed so that farmers much purchase
expensive new stocks every season, enviropiglets inherit the
genetic advantage. Additionally, the cost of raising pigs is
reduced because farmers do not need to supplement pig diets
with phosphorous nor with commercially manufactured phytase.
Waste treatment costs, to manage the phosphorous in manure,
can also be saved.
Canada has approved only limited production of the Enviropigs,
in controlled research environments. It will be years before meat
from genetically engineered pigs could be available for human
consumption. "This will be probably the most significant
transgenic food to be approved. We're in new territory," Steven
Liss, a spokesperson for the project, told National Geographic.
There is a very interesting passage in Isaiah 11 that may be connected to this
Enviro-Pig you decide for yourself.
Isaiah 66:15-17 15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his
chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with
flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all
flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 17 They that sanctify12
themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the
midst, eating swines flesh, and the abomination [in Hebrew, this can
mean BACTERIA], and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the
LORD.

11 For additional study on this, listen to the Truth2U radio interview with Scot

Dryer, http://www.truth2u.org/2011/01/scot-dryer-mingled-seed-
isaiah-66.html

12 Please note, the sancti=ication mentioned here, in context, refers to occult/

pagan worship. It is very interesting that in order to visit the Enviro-Pig, you
have to shower and disinfect yourself, before entering the holding pens.

Hmmm these are just a few of the MANY articles available online. Just do
a Google search on GMO foods. The major problem with all of this besides
the foundational fact that the mixing of seed is forbidden by GOD is that
scientists actually dont know what the results are.
When you tinker and splice the very building blocks of life, DNA when you
start playing GOD you just dont know the full consequences! Like the title
of Jeff Smiths book, you are playing Genetic Roulette!
However, we do know some of the consequences already and they are
NOT GOOD. GMO foods are wreaking havoc to both our bodies and
environment. They are linked to:

GM peas caused lung damage in

mice.

Offspring of rats fed GM soy showed

a five-fold increase in mortality, lower
birth weights, and the inability to
reproduce.

GM potatoes may cause cancer in

rats.

Male mice fed GM soy had damaged

young sperm cells.

Bacteria in your gut can take up

DNA from GM food, which can then
mutate in your body.

The embryo offspring of GM soy-fed

mice had altered DNA functioning.

GM foods lead to significant organ

disruptions in rats and mice,
specifically the kidney, liver, heart,
and spleen.

Several U.S. farmers reported

sterility or fertility problems among
pigs and cows fed on GM corn
varieties.

BT corn caused a wide variety of

immune responses in mice,
commonly associated with diseases
such as arthritis, Lou Gehrigs
disease, osteoporosis, and
inflammatory bowel disease.

Investigators in India have

documented fertility problems,
abortions, premature births, and
other serious health issues, including
deaths among buffaloes fed GM
cottonseed products.
Those are just the highlights and
GMO foods are supposed to be the new
miracle foods, which are so superior
to the normal old food weve been
eating for centuries?
I really encourage you to do your own
research into GMO foods, and have a
look at the foods you and your family
are eating. What we eat is so important
it is the foundation of our health!
Below are some great resources.

GMO foods segues nicely into other
up-and-coming areas of science where
there is a whole lot of mingling going
on:

Trans-Humanism 13

Singularity

Nanotechnology (pictured right)

Biotechnology

Theres a LOT more to be said on

each field, but basically transhumanism/singularity is about the
next step in evolution it is creating Human 2.0 through genetic
modification and/or the merging of humans and machines (technology). There
really is so much to talk about regarding trans-humanism the article14
below gives a pretty good introduction to the movement:
The Rise Of Techno-Gods: The Merging Of
Trans-Humanism And Spirituality
Standing at the guest booth on the outskirts of the Temple
grounds in Salt Lake City, the young lady behind the counter
asked if we were attending the conference.

13 Trans-Humanism is closely connected to Eugenics, the philosophy/agenda to

control/decrease world population. Methods of Eugenics (population control)

include vaccinations, bio-manufactured diseases (such as AIDS and the recent
H1N1 Swine Flu), and GMO foods, to name a few.

Not the conference, my wife explained, but a conference.

A momentary look of confusion crossed the greeters face. After
all, the Latter-Day Saints General Conference was only hours
away, and for the Mormon community GC is the event of the
year. Why else would we be in Salt Lake City?
I tried to clarify; Were here for a conference sponsored by the
Mormon Transhumanist Association.
This didnt help.
Like the Mormon greeter, you too are probably wondering;
What in the world is transhumanism?
In short, Transhumanism is the ultimate goal of Technocracy. In
past editions of Forcing Change, a series of articles were
published on Technocracy as a meta-movement: the idea that
the works of Mans hands can save Humanity hence,
technology and science forms the basis of a Technocratic
society. Transhumanism takes this to its ultimate conclusion:
The development of the post-human or neo-human.
Based on the premise that evolution is true, transhumanism
looks to shape the human species through the direct application
of science.
In other words, by employing technology we can take hold of the
evolutionary process and change it as we desire, thus becoming
the masters of our future. To this end, advocates of
transhumanism ascribe to a multitude of possible options.
The Mormon Transhumanist Association (MTA) gives us an
overview,
visions of a neohuman future will evolve as time goes on. As
imagined now, possible neohuman traits, all involving
technological enhancements to current human capacities,
include:

Highly advanced intellectual capabilities, greater than

ours in magnitude as ours are greater than those of
other animals

Physical bodies that are immune to disease and aging

The ability to communicate complex thoughts and

emotions instantaneously without visual aids or
speech

30

Expanded sensory inputs that enable higher

awareness of even distant environs

Superhuman strength and agility

Perfect control of individual desires, moods, or mental

states

Increased capacity to experience joy, love, pleasure,

and other emotions.

Superhuman strength! Longevity and disease-free living! Mindto-mind communications Does this sound like science fiction,
or science-magic?
Although less magical sounding, the following examples are no
less mind-blowing. They represent a portion of this authors
research, and are considered to be paths moving us beyond
humanity.
1. DNA: Now that we are unlocking the secrets of DNA, we can
alter our genetic makeup to augment desirable traits and block
negative characteristics. Its hoped such a move will bring
longevity and eradicate diseases. Other possible outcomes
include the production of designer babies in the womb, and even
introducing DNA from other species into the human code; thus
building a Human Plus equipped with advanced physical and
cognitive traits. Such a trans-human would be transgenic
literally a human GMO (Genetically Modified Organism).
2. Computer Interfacing and AI: As the secrets of the brain are
discovered, it is anticipated that a time will arrive when the mind
is efficiently interfaced with cyber-space. It is believed that in
such a scenario the brain, once plugged-in, could allow the
mind to surf the network, download and upload from the web,
receive memory upgrades, and converge with a global mind-tomachine community forming a type of cyber-hive. Or,
according to some cybernetic purists, to allow ones
consciousness to completely leave the bounds of flesh and
enter cyber-space as an electronic entity. After all the brain, its
argued, is an electrochemical organ. This mind uploading, its
believed, could culminate in what the Catholic mystic, Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin called the noosphere: the emergence of a
living, global consciousness. The web would thus come alive.
When asked what the single most important development will be
in 20 years, George Dvorsky of the Institute for Ethics and
Emerging Technologies said,

31

Interface technologies that bridge the gap between the human

brain and the internet. In twenty years, our interaction with the
web will be so seamless that it will be considered an exosomatic
organ. Implications include ubiquitous access to all knowledge
stores on the net and techlepathy.
Another version of the noosphere approach is through AI
Artificial Intelligence, particularly within the model of global
computing. In this scenario the system takes on a type of cyberlife when super-sophisticated computing networks actively
gather users data and monitor online behavior, and then
independently act on this collective knowledge.
Today, post-human theorists are
contemplating what this global AI
model would look like, including
world simulation programs that
could tabulate and pursue the
most efficient ways to order a
transhuman society.
3. Nanobots: By injecting
nanobots programmable,
microscopic-like robots into
the human body, cells and
tissue might be manipulated in
detail. Diseased cells could be
hunted down and eradicated.
Direct drug delivery could be
accomplished. Maintenance of
brain-computer interfacing could be done at
the microscopic level. Humanity could be reconfigured cell-bycell. Nanobots could be introduced by injection or within a pill
capsule.
The above examples are grounded in theoretical research and
present-day realities. Consider GMO technology, which has
been in use since the 1960s. GMO cropping is a staple in the
agricultural industry, especially with canola.
But the science goes beyond plants; China just announced it
has created a transgenic monkey to be used for medical
experiments, Kraig Biocraft recently claimed it has genetically
modified silkworms to produce spider silk, and in 2009 a
Spanish team created a a clone of the extinct Pyrenean ibex
which only lived a short time, yet demonstrated the potential to
re-create extinct species.

32

Likewise, brain interfacing and mind implants, along with

nanotechnology, are no longer the stuff of science fiction. Much
theoretical work has been done, experimentation is ongoing,
and major breakthroughs have occurred. Its amazing what has
already been accomplished; the question now isnt, should we
look to alter the human species? But what will the new human
experience be?
Ironically, while the future is being played with in laboratories
and technical institutes, the foundation of transhumanism rests
on an ancient desire: Man becoming Deity, Apotheosis.
Posthumanism, therefore, is the technical quest for the Holy
Grail, Ascension through engineering. Its modern-day Alchemy
and Magic, the contemporary manifestation of the Secret
Doctrine; All is One, and that One is Divinity. Or said another
way; Jesus is no less Divine because all men may reach the
same Divine perfection.
Mark Pesce, a co-inventor of 3-D interfacing for the worldwide
web, and a panelist and judge on ABCs show The New
Inventors, puts it this way,
Once the genome was transcribed, once we knew what had
made us human, we had in that moment passed into the
Transhuman. Knowing our codes, we can re-create them in our
so-called synthetic rows of 1s and 0s. Artificial Life.
And now we have discovered the multiverse, where nothing is
true and everything is permissible. And now we will reach into
the improbable, re-sequence ourselves into a new Being, debugging the natural state, translating ourselves into
supernatural, incorruptible, eternal There is no God but
Man.
Pesce, a leading Transhumanist, depicts ascension in Biblically
twisted terms.
Men die, planets die, even stars die. We know all this. Because
we know it, we seek something more a transcendence of
transience, translation to incorruptible form. An escape if you
will, a stop to the wheel. We seek, therefore, to bless ourselves
with perfect knowledge and perfect will; To become as gods,
take the universe in hand, and transform it in our image for our
own delight. As it is on Earth, so it shall be in the heavens.
The inevitable result of incredible improbability, the arrow of
evolution is lipping us into the transhuman an apotheosis to
reason, salvation attained by good works.

33

Human cloning researcher, Richard Seed, throws an ugly spin

on the subject.
We are going to become Gods. Period. If you dont like it, get
off. You dont have to contribute; you dont have to participate.
But if youre going to interfere with me becoming God, were
going to have big trouble. Then well have warfare.
These quotes are troubling, but is Transhumanism a serious
movement, or just the hype of some utopian dreamers? Sure,
the technology to alter humanity and shape society either exists
or is fast coming on line, but is Transhumanism a real movement
or just some techno-fad? The answer to this quandary comes by
following the money. If its only a fad, you can expect
sponsorships to reflect an amateurish level.
However, if Transhumanism is more than a passing technocuriosity, then the sponsors and partners would be recognizable.
Significant players should be involved. Is this happening?
Case in point: Singularity University. Designed as a leadership
institute, Singularity is recognized for its positions on
Transhumanism and radical social change. This school deals
with the theoretical aspects of Transhumanism and emerging
technologies, with an eye towards the exponential increase in
knowledge and science.
Even the name speaks to the coming post-human world, as
singularity represents a point in a future time when
technological change takes place so fast it produces a
qualitative shift in society: the birth of a super-intelligence, the
merging of Man and Machine. So who supports Singularity?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, aka

NASA: Singularity is hosted at the NASA Ames
research center in Silicon Valley.

Google.

ePlanet Ventures (a capital investment firm who works

with high-tech medical and media companies,
including Skype).

Autodesk (the producers of AutoCAD).

Kauffman Foundation (one of the largest foundations

in the United States; based on the work of
pharmaceutical giant Ewing Kauffman).

Canon.

International Space University, and many others.

34

Beyond Singularity University, the transhumanist program has

been advanced through the sponsorship of well-recognized
institutions like Oxford, Stanford and Caltech and by large
non-profit groups such as the Templeton Foundation. Another
transhuman organization that focuses on nanotechnology, the
Foresight Institute, has received sponsorships from Apple, Ford,
ARCO, Beckman, Sun Microsystems, Mitsubishi, Intel, Xerox,
and other industry leaders. The US National Science Foundation
has also been looking at the future of Transhumanism, including
its ethical development, and in 2003 produced a report on
technologies that will enhance human abilities; the report was
titled Converging Technologies for Improving Human
Performance: Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information
Technology and Cognitive Science. Finally, DARPA the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is a
technical branch within the US Department of Defense has
been working on programs that are transhuman in nature, such
as the Physical Intelligence project. According to Michael
Anissimov, the Media Director for the Singularity Institute,
DARPA has been funding dozens of human augmentation
projects around the world.
So much for it being a passing fad.
Movies like the Matrix, Minority Report,
I, Robot, AI and others dont seem to
far-out there anymore
Keep in mind too, the technology that is
being released is at least twenty/thirty
years behind the technology that is
actually available (for example, military
and government technology) that is
something to think about.

You wonder what technology is really

out there!?
Whats more we have to remember
that all this gene-splicing and technology is very likely to reach a point of no
return (if were not already there?), when these mutants and/or machines take
on a life of their own the very thing so many movies are based on!
I had to laugh at Ray Kurzweils analogy (Ray is one of the preeminent
supporters of the Singularity) when people ask him if he fears the speed at
which technology is advancing, and the potential dangers of all this, he says
something like (and this is a paraphrase)

35

Well, technology has always been a double-edged sword think of the

discovery of fire. Fire gave us heat, but also was able to burn down our
houses.
Yes, BUT, consider this fire is a GOD-given element ... fire can be stopped
by water. Man was given dominion over it it can be contained, canceled.
You start messing with things you dont fully understand what do we have
to stop or cancel out the consequences?
Just like back in Noahs days, I believe this point of no return is one of the
reasons GODs Intervention/Judgment is absolutely necessary.

So, lets recap the modern-day Genesis 6 issues weve looked at so far:
Wickedness, iniquity, lawlessness (Torah-lessness), sin,
Increased supernatural activity,
Fallen angels co-habiting with natural earth-women,
Mingling/tampering of the DNA/seed both human DNA and plant
DNA,
Crossing of GOD-ordained boundaries between the species.
I can guess the question on your mind now is what about points two and
three? Well, lets jump in

Is the kingdom of darkness (fallen angels) co-mingling with us, as

in Genesis 6? Are there hybrids (Nephilim) being birthed today?

36

Let me just say, a few years ago, I would have thought all of this is absolutely
crazy but in the last couple of years, in doing this research and seeing the
implications of Genesis 6, I not only believe this to be the case (especially
since this return of Genesis 6 and the days of Noah is prophesied for the time
of the end), but there is mounting (solid) evidence of hybrid breeding
programs from both secular and Biblical researchers.
I use to think UFOs and alien
abductions are just random
supernatural experiences that
happen every now and then
no big deal.
Probably just demonic
hallucinations from people
who are not quite all there, or
who are into the occult/New
Age anyway.
Not quite.
As L.A. Marzulli always says,
UFOs and alien abductions are real, burgeoning, and not going away.
Since around 1948 (with the birth of Israel), there have been hundreds,
thousands of UFO sightings and alien abductions from all over the world.
This is not a passing fad. It is an unparalleled phenomenon, like the world has
never seen before except in the days of Noah.

Have you heard of some of the things people have been reporting?

UFO sightings.

Strange spiral-lights in the sky (pictured above), as well as strange

and abnormal cloud formations (I believe this could be connected to
HAARP technology).

Cattle mutilations cattle are found dead the next morning, with
unexplainable wounds, almost as if they have undergone some sort of
operation. For instance, a leg will be surgically removed, and the rest of
the carcass left for dead. No vultures or prey-animals will touch the
dead animal and abnormally high radiation levels are picked up on
and around the carcass.

Increased supernatural activity, such as orb15 sightings the most

famous being those seen at Eceti Ranch. And when I say increased, I
mean increased. For example, in 1950, there was one UFO sighting for
the whole year. In 2008, there were over 350 per month!

37

Alien abductions the person is abducted and experimented upon in

various ways. In most cases, there is some level of sexuality (for
instance, sperm/ovum are removed and/or tampered with).

Nephilim being birthed through the sexual union of fallen angels and
natural, earth-women.

The questions is do alien/human hybrids walk among us16, like in the

days of Noah?
As discussed in Part 2 of this series, the manipulation of living
tissue by ancient fallen angels led to superhuman hybridity
made up of human and animal genetics known as Nephilim, an
Earth-born facsimile or fit extension into which fallen angels
incarnated. However, the long history of demonological
phenomenon related to manipulation of biological matter
suggests that versions of this curious activity have been ongoing
ever since the Days of Noah. Today, what some call alien
abduction, in which a breeding program allegedly exists
resulting in alien/human hybrids, seems but a contemporary
retelling of similar DNA harvesting and genetic manipulation by
those mysterious beings whose activity was recorded
throughout time. In his book, ConfrontationsA Scientists
Search For Alien Contact, highly regarded UFO researcher, Dr.
Jacques F. Valle, once phrased it this way: Contact with
[aliens is] only a modern extension of the age-old tradition of
contact with nonhuman consciousness in the form of angels,
demons, elves, and sylphs.
Later, Valle more closely
identified the operative power behind aliens as equivalent to
the fallen angels in the Days of Noah:
Are these races only semi-human, so that in order to maintain
contact with us, they need crossbreeding with men and women
of our planet? Is this the origin of the many tales and legends
where genetics plays a great role: the symbolism of the Virgin in
occultism and religion, the fairy tales involving human midwives
and changelings, the sexual overtones of the flying saucer
reports, the Biblical stories of intermarriage between the LORDs
angels {who fell with Lucifer}, and terrestrial women, whose
offspring were giants?
Another highly respected and often quoted UFO researcher,
John Keel, echoed the same when he stated in Operation Trojan
Horse:

16 Part 3 of an article series written by Tom Horn, taken from http://

www.raidersnewsupdate.com/. Please note, I have added my own comments in

{brackets}.

38

Demonology is not just another crackpot-ology. It is the ancient

and scholarly study of the monsters and demons {I would
include fallen angels} who have seemingly coexisted with man
throughout history the manifestations and occurrences
described in this imposing literature are similar, if not entirely
identical, to the UFO phenomenon itself. Victims of
demonomania (possession) suffer the very same medical and
emotional symptoms as the UFO contactees the Devil and
his demons can, according to the literature, manifest themselves
in almost any form and can physically imitate anything from
angels to horrifying monsters with glowing eyes. Strange objects
and entities materialize and dematerialize in these stories, just
as the UFOs and their splendid occupants appear and
disappear, walk through walls, and perform other supernatural
feats.
Associate professor of psychology Elizabeth L. Hillstrom, in her
book Testing The Spirits, was even more inflexible on
comparisons between alien experiences and historical
demonic activity, quoting an impressive list of scholars from
various disciplines who conclude the similarities between ETs
and demons is unlikely coincidental. Hillstrom cites authorities of
the first rank including Pierre Guerin, a scientist associated with
the French National Council for Scientific Research, who
believes The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days
are probably identical, and veteran researcher John Keel, who
reckons, The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large,
merely minor variations of the age-old demonological
phenomenon.
Then there is the question of alien-demoniality and Bible
prophecy. When former college professor and BBC
correspondent, Dr. I. D. E. Thomas, in his highly recommended
book, The Omega Conspiracy, chronicled the burgeoning of socalled alien abduction activity in the 1980s, he made
enlightening connections between the phenomenon and endtime prophecy concerning a return of the Nephilim, something
other writers have since built upon. Documentation by
abductees worldwide and the stories of DNA harvesting by
aliens reminded him of the history of biological misuse by the
Watchers {the name used in the Book of Enoch for the fallen
angels}. Dr. Thomas told me personally that the special desire
by the aliens for human and animal molecular matter could
explain why animals have been killed, mutilated, and stolen by
the aliens, a point Valle repeated in his book, The Invisible
College: What A Group Of Scientists Has Discovered About
UFO Influences On The Human Race, when he wrote:

39

In order to materialize and take definite form, these entities

seem to require a source of energy a living thing a human
medium our sciences have not reached a point where they
can offer us any kind of working hypothesis for this process. But
we can speculate that these beings need living energy which
they can reconstruct into physical form. Perhaps that is why
dogs and animals tend to vanish in [UFO] flap areas. Perhaps
the living cells of those animals are somehow used by the
ultraterrestrials to create forms which we can see and sense
with our limited perceptions.

Ultimately, Valle and his contemporaries determined that

whatever the modern alien presence represents, its goal is the
collection of DNA for what appears to be a Breeding Program,
followed by a Hybridization Program, and finally an Integration
Program; this is exactly what Watchers accomplished with
Nephilim in ancient times. Yet the purpose behind the alleged
modern ET-human-hybridization agenda is so clouded in
mystery that not even the worlds most prestigious intelligence
bureaus seem to fathom itexcept of course if at above-topsecret levels there are Black Government Agencies participating
with the alien entities in some sort of Cosmic Watergate wherein
the breeding program transpires.
Plenty of so-called whistle-blowers, books, and leaked files have
suggested the same, but Valles suspicion is that many, if not
most, of these sources are actually concoctions by complicit
government proxies, which are disseminated in order to so
completely muddle the factual objectives of the program with
duplicity, half-truths, and subterfuge that the public can never
really know what is happening. There is a genuine UFO
phenomenon and it is not explained by the revelations of alleged
government agents bearing fancy code names like Condor or
Falcon, he concluded in Revelations: Alien Contact and Human
Deception.

40

But that a modern alien program of breeding and hybridizing

humans is covertly occurring similar to what ancient Watchers
did is something, no matter how absurd it may seem, a growing
body of scholars, based on accumulative physical and eyewitness evidence, are coming around to.
In his book, Secret Life: Firsthand, Documented Accounts Of
UFO Abductions, Professor David M. Jacobs 17 of Temple
University combined scientific and investigatory methods to
analyze the accounts of dozens of abductees including more
than three hundred independently corroborated stories of such
experiences, describing in unsettling detail the reproductive
procedures that abductees claim were administered by small
alien beings.
Jacobs profoundly unsettling conclusion paralleled that of Valle
and othersthat alien abductors are conducting complex
reproductive experiments involving the conception, gestation,
hybridization, and integration on Earth of alien hybrid beings.
Jacobs wrote:
[The aliens] want to use the ability humans have to recreate
themselves. They want human sperm and eggs. They want
human physical involvement with the offspring. They want
complete knowledge of the reproductive physiological
processes. [And this] abduction program appears to be vast.
Abductees routinely report rooms with as many as two hundred
tables holding humans in various stages of examination. The
aliens hustle them out as soon as possible after the procedures
are completed, presumably so that more humans can be
brought in.

17 For the past thirty-eight years, Dr. David Jacobs has been lecturing and

researching in the =ield of Ufology. Wikipedia writes: He has lectured widely,

been interviewed, and participated in numerous television and radio shows on the
subject of alien abductions. In recent years, Jacobs has argued publicly that the
evidence from his research shows that alien-human hybrids are engaged in a
secret program of in8iltration into human society with the 8inal goal of taking over
the Earth. He asserts that some of his research subjects are teaching these hybrids
how to blend into human society so that they cannot be differentiated from
humans, and that this is occurring worldwide. To my knowledge, Dr. Jacobs is not
a believer in Messiah Yshua (Jesus), however, he is very worried about this
alien agenda and breeding program. Unlike many who are promoting the
aliens as being our friends, Dr. Jacobs is warning about the serious dangers of
interacting with these beings. You can watch an interview with him on YouTube
at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hc37Zf1oyU. Please note, I do not
recommend this link for younger viewers, as some of the information is graphic.

41

The evidence suggests that this goes on twenty-four hours per

day, month after month, year after year. The amount of time and
energy invested in the breeding program is enormous.
Besides Jacobs and Valle, other highly respected scientists
who believed something unearthly was happening in connection
to alien activity included: Dr. Josef Allen Hynek, the United
States astronomer and professor in charge of Project Blue Book;
Dr. Hermann Julius Oberth, one of the founding fathers of
rocketry and astronautics; Lynn E. Catoe, senior bibliographer
for government publication research by the Library of Congress
for the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research; and the late
Harvard Medical School Professor and Pulitzer Prize-winner, Dr.
John Edward Mack.
After working with abduction experiencers including interviews
with over one hundred people of various ages and backgrounds,
Mack (who was run down by an automobile and killed after
speaking at a symposium in London) showcased the narratives
of thirteen subjects in astonishing detail in his book, Abduction:
Human Encounters with Aliens, where he reached very much
the same conclusion as his peers:
What is amply corroborated [is] that the abduction phenomenon
is in some central way involved in a breeding program that
results in the creation of alien/human hybrid offspring My own
impression is that we may be witnessing an awkward joining
of two species, engineered by an intelligence we are unable to
fathom.
Yet, if demons pretending to be aliens are actually behind a
fantastic breeding and hybridization scheme, what would be
their purpose? Biblical scholar and prophecy expert Gary
Stearman believes they are dark overlords, come forth to repeat
what happened in the Days of Noah, to create a generation of
genetically altered pseudo-humans for the service of Satan in
preparation of Armageddon.
He points to Matthew 24:37, which says, But as the days of
Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. Gary then goes on to elaborate:
Here, Jesus is clearly speaking of future judgment, the
Tribulation, Second Coming and certain events that will surround
it. He says that His coming will happen at a time when social
conditions will resemble those that plagued the world in the days
of Noah.

42

From Genesis 6, we now discern that these will include an

invasion of dark forces from the heavens The UFO abduction
phenomenon is only a mask for fallen angels who have departed
from their natural domain to engage in the filthy work of creating
an alternate race that will act as their proxies Now, as [in the
Days of Noah], they pry into the forbidden areas of human
procreation. Lascivious and power hungry, they seek to set up
their own race, and their own province of control.
But only in the last fifty years have their activities acquired a
speed and purpose that tells us what time it is, prophetically
speaking. Jesus told us, in effect, that when we begin to see
such things come to pass, His appearance would not be far
behind.
On the Watcher website, our friend David Flynnwhose early
online research first broke many of todays most popular
theories regarding the alien-hybrid scheme as an end-times
deception aimed at misleading mankindreaffirms the warnings
made by Gary Stearman:
The Book of Enoch explains that the Sons of God {fallen angels}
descended first onto the mountain called Hermon The rebel
angels intended to thwart Gods plan for the earth by destroying
the descendants of Adam. Satans goal in organizing the
Nephilim/human hybridization program was to pollute the
bloodline that would produce Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the
Kinsman Redeemer.
Now that it is so close to the end times, Satan has orchestrated
human/rebel angel interaction on a grand scale. The plan is now
to prevent any flesh from being saved. By manipulating human
genetics, whether through the guise of alien abduction or by
supplying willing mortal accomplices with the proper
technologythere is currently being created humanoid hybrids
who are not-quite-human The second wave of hybrid
Nephilim creation is Satans last effort to destroy all Sons of
Adam, so that none can be redeemed when Jesus Christ returns
at the End of the Age.
Does a curious verse in the Book of Daniel hint that Stearman
and Flynn may be on to something? Speaking of the last days of
human government, Daniel said:
They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they
shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with
clay. (Daniel 2:43)

43

While Daniel does not explain who they that mingle

themselves with the seed of men are, the personal pronoun
they caused Chuck Missler and Mark Eastman, in their book,
Alien Encounters, to ask: Just what (or who) are mingling with
the seed of men? Who are these Non-seed? It staggers the
mind to contemplate the potential significance of Daniels
passage and its implications for the future global governance.
Daniels verse troubled Missler and Eastman because it seemed
to indicate that the same phenomenon that occurred in Genesis
chapter 6where non-human species or non-seed mingled
with human seed and produced Nephilimwould happen again
in the end times. When this verse from Daniel is coupled with
Genesis 3:15, which says, And I will put enmity between thee
and the woman, and between thy seed [zera, meaning
offspring, descendants, or children] and her seed, an
incredible tenet emergesthat Satan has seed, and that it is at
enmity with Christ.
To mingle non-human seed with
Homo sapiens through altering
human DNA while simultaneously
returning Nephilim to earth has been
the inspiration of the spirit of
Antichrist ever since God halted the
practice of genetic manipulation
during the Great Flood. According to
Louis Pauwells and Jacques Bergier
in The Dawn of Magic, this was
certainly the goal of the antichrist
spirit that possessed Adolf Hitler18:
Hitlers aim was neither the founding
of a race of supermen, nor the
conquest of the world; these were only means
towards the realization of the great work he dreamed of. His real
aim was to perform an act of creation, a divine operation, the
goal of a biological mutation which would result in an
unprecedented exaltation of the human race and the apparition
of a new race of heroes and demigods and god-men.

18 Just what were Hitler and the Nazis up to in their quest for a super-race? How

did they come to discover some of the most advanced technologies for that time?
Could it be they were contacting the fallen angels through the occult? The
evidence seems to point to that exactly. For additional study, see Joseph Farrells
research at his website, http://gizadeathstar.com/. You can also check out the
History Channels Ancient Aliens episode on the Nazis and the Bell, http://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K6cQcC6GG8

44

One cannot read the conclusion by Pauwells and Bergier

regarding Hitlers Antichrist ambition without calling to mind that
from the Middle Ages forward, church leaders have believed the
Antichrist would ultimately represent the return of the Nephilim
the reunion of demons with humans. St. Augustine himself wrote
of such demoniality in the City of God, and in the De
Daemonialitate, et Incubis, et Succubi, Fr. Ludovico Maria
Sinistrari de Amino (16221701) also perceived the coming of
Antichrist as representing the biological hybridization of demons
with humans. To theologians and philosophers, he wrote, it is
a fact, that from the copulation of humans with the demon
Antichrist must be born.
The English theologian George Hawkins Pember agreed with
this premise, and in his 1876 masterpiece, Earths Earliest Ages,
he analyzed the prophecy of Christ that says the end-times
would be a repeat of the Days of Noah. Pember outlined the
seven great causes of the antediluvian destruction and
documented their developmental beginnings in his lifetime. Like
Gary Stearman, he concluded that the seventh and most fearful
sign would be the return of the NephilimThe appearance
upon earth of beings from the Principality of the Air, and their
unlawful intercourse with the human race.
Thus, it appears those social, spiritual, and academic
intellectuals who now believe we are close to integration with
intelligent alien life (and who also believe that this discovery
could ultimately reconfigure established doctrines of science,
religion, and salvation) may be closer to the truth than some of
them have imagined. Events unfolding over the past decade
portend a near future in which alien influences led by a man of
unusual intelligence will arrive on Earth as champions of a new
Gospel. Numerous Scriptures foretold the otherworldly leaders
coming for what he actually ispaganisms ultimate incarnation;
the beast of Revelation 13:1. As Jesus Christ was the seed of
the woman (Genesis 3:15), the Antichrist will be the seed of
the serpent.
This brings me to my final point for this entry: Daniel the prophet
may have provided an important clue for identifying this false
savior at his arrival. Daniel 11:39 says he will be a worshipper of
the god of forcesa god whom his fathers knew not, a text that
literally means, an alien god. For now the world watches and
waits for contact.
All this may be hard for most people to accept (including believers) but this
is the end-time reality we are facing. Whats more this is exactly what the
Scriptures warn us of like in the days of Noah.

45

At this point you are probably asking, WHY!?

Why is there an organized hybrid-breeding/integration program going on? As
mentioned in the article above, I believe there are three main reasons this
demonic program is being carried out. Lets look again at the enemys agenda
we discussed towards the beginning of this article:
War against and try to dethrone
GOD.

Cant really do this try other

avenues of warfare.

War against that which is made in

GODs Image, man cause man to
also rebel against GOD.

Done. Process started with the fall.

Deceived Adam and Eve, bringing
death into the world.

War against GODs Creation.

Done. Process started death

brought into creation through the fall.

GODs Plan of REDEMPTION!

STOP, remove, and/or CORRUPT all
possibility of REDEMPTION for man.

As well see, this is what is being

worked on in the days of Noah with
the mingling of the seed.

Turn mens hearts against GOD, to

rebel against GOD.

Process started with the fall

continues with Nimrod and the Tower
of Babel. This is an ongoing agenda.

With the birth of Messiah Yshua [Jesus], the enemy completely failed in his
strategy in trying to defile/corrupt the bloodline of Messiah GOD is GOD,
and His Redemptive Plan will not be thwarted. What is left for the enemy to
do?
1. Continue to deceive mankind, in order to encourage men to turn
against GOD, to rebel against Him.
2. Continue to corrupt mankinds very DNA continue with the mingling of
the seed.
3. Make up the deficit in the war against GOD.
Lets discuss each point a bit further
1. One of the greatest weapons of the enemy is deception (darkness)
and through deception, turning our hearts away from Messiah Yshua
[Jesus] (the LIGHT of the world, the Life, and the Truth) and our Loving
FATHER. This is still part of his warfare get men to turn against GOD,
to rebel.

46

In men turning against GOD, the enemy wins the battle for that
persons soul/life. I believe the return of the fallen angels (aliens) is
going to play a major role in the coming great deception. If you have
not been grounded in the Word the TRUTH, Instructions, and
Righteous Ways of YHVH (GOD) that the FATHER says these days
will be like the days of Noah, and that these aliens are nothing new,
just the fallen angels of Genesis 6, and that they are NOT friendly,
NOT our creators, and they are NOT our gods come to save us
what answer will you have when the aliens make contact? When
seeing UFOs becomes normal? For that matter, what answer do you
have for those people NOW who have had alien encounters? For
those people NOW who are caught up in the New Age, the occult, and
the UFO/alien movement who are having real supernatural
experiences and encounters with powerful other beings? The
FATHER has called us to be a LIGHT unto the nations we are to
have the answers!
2. The enemys continued agenda to corrupt/mingle the seed (DNA) is
two-fold. FIRST, could it be possible that the mingling of the seed
(DNA) is somehow connected to the mark of the beast? That once the
seed has been tampered/mingled with, there is no point of return? A
point of no redemption? This is definitely something to consider
3. SECOND, the enemy needs an army the last great battle is coming
soon. Remember, only a third of the angels rebelled. Satan is out
numbered at this point. Could the breeding program be the enemys
way of making up the deficit? Of creating soldiers for his army? Read
the description of the end-time army in Joel, in light of what weve been
discussing
Joel 2:1-11 BLOW THE trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on My holy Mount
[Zion]. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of [the judgment
of] the Lord is coming; it is close at hand2 A day of darkness and gloom, a
day of clouds and of thick mists and darkness, like the morning dawn spread
upon the mountains; so there comes a [heathen, hostile] people numerous
and mighty, the like of which has never been before and shall not be
again even to the years of many generations. 3 A fire devours before
them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is as the garden of Eden
before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has
escaped [the ravages of the devouring hordes]. 4 Their appearance is like
the appearance of horses, and like war horses and horsemen, so do they
run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains they leaplike
the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a mighty people set in
battle array. 6 Before them the peoples are in anguish; all faces become pale.
7 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war. They
march each one [straight ahead] on his ways, and they do not break their
ranks. 8 Neither does one thrust upon another; they walk every one in his
path. And they burst through and upon the weapons, yet they are not
wounded and do not change their course.

47

9 They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up on and into
the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth quakes
before them; the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened and
the stars withdraw their shining. 11 And the Lord utters His voice before His
army, for His host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful who
execute [Gods] word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible,
and who can endure it?

Could Joel have been describing a demonic/Nephilim army? Could this also
be one of the reasons mens hearts will fail for FEAR (Luke 21:26)? Sounds
like it to me what about the demonic creatures described in the Book of
Revelation?
Have you ever considered the possibility that the fifth trumpet of Revelation
could be describing an invasion of fallen angels and their demonic hybrids?
Revelation 9:1-11 THEN THE fifth angel blew [his] trumpet, and I saw a star
{a fallen angel? Like the Scriptures describe Lucifer falling from heaven, like a
star?} that had fallen from the sky to the earth; and to the angel was given
the key of the shaft of the Abyss (the bottomless pit). 2 He opened the long
shaft of the Abyss (the bottomless pit), and smoke like the smoke of a huge
furnace puffed out of the long shaft, so that the sun and the atmosphere were
darkened by the smoke from the long shaft. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts
came forth on the earth, and such power was granted them as the power the
earths scorpions have. 4 They were told not to injure the herbage of the
earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only [to attack] such human beings
as do not have the seal (mark) of God on their foreheads. 5 They were
not permitted to kill them, but to torment (distress, vex) them for five months;
and the pain caused them was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings a
person. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it; and
they will yearn to die, but death evades and flees from them. 7 The locusts
resembled horses equipped for battle. On their heads was something like
golden crowns. Their faces resembled the faces of people.

48

8 They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lions teeth.
9 Their breastplates (scales) resembled breastplates made of iron, and the
[whirring] noise made by their wings was like the roar of a vast number of
horse-drawn chariots going at full speed into battle. 10 They have tails like
scorpions, and they have stings, and in their tails lies their ability to hurt men
for [the] five months. 11 Over them as king they have the angel of the
Abyss (of the bottomless pit). In Hebrew his name is Abaddon [destruction],
but in Greek he is called Apollyon [destroyer].
Could these strange horse-lion-scorpion creatures be creatures created
through the mingling of the seed/kinds? Interesting too, these creatures are
permitted to torment the earth for five months. One Biblical month equals
thirty days. Thirty days times five, equals 150 days, and
Genesis 7:24 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and
fifty days.
So, maybe the question you have at this point is what do these alien/
Nephilim hybrids look like? Will they look like the giants of old?
Well from what people are reporting (based on the accounts of the
breeding program and encounters with these demonic beings), the agenda is
to create hybrids that look normal, human. Remember, the breeding
program is being described as an integration program that the hybrids look
like one of us. Could it be that part of the reason for the alien abductions
and experiments, was to perfect the hybrids, that they look human? It is very
possible. Theres not too much more I can say on this at this point, there
isnt enough research yet. Also, this isnt the focus. I truly believe that if we are
walking in Spirit (the guidance of the Holy Spirit) and in Truth (Torah), we will
be able to discern who is of the enemy, and who is of the FATHER. This is
something we should be walking in already! The Scriptures warn us to test the
spirits we, the Body of Messiah, are to be a DISCERNING people!
What I find truly remarkable (and unmistakable) is the blatant connection to
this alien (fallen angel) agenda and Hollywood, pop culture, and the
entertainment industry just what message are we and our kids! being
fed through movies, TV, and music?
Have you thought about just how MANY movies and TV shows have come
out over the past few years, which deal with some sort of supernatural, alien,
and/or Trans-Humanism (mixing of the DNA) theme?

Hollywood and pop culture20 are the spokesmen and PR campaigners for the
kingdom of darkness there is a definite agenda to why so many movies
and TV shows have these alien/supernatural themes. Are we being
desensitized to the supernatural? Being programmed to believe the aliens
are not so bad, that mingling of the seed is cool? Absolutely. Consider
excerpts of the lyrics of Katy Perrys February 2011 single release E.T.
Lover, which was number one on the charts for a while:
Youre so hypnotizing,
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
They say be afraid,
Youre not like the others,
Futuristic lover,
Different DNA,

Youre from a whole other world,

A different dimension,
You open my eyes,
And Im ready to go,
Lead me into the light,
Kiss me fill me with your poison,
Take me wanna be a victim,
Ready for abduction,
Boy, youre an alien,
Your touch foreign,
Its supernatural,
Extra-terrestrial

Of Sight And Sound.

51

Sounds like something right out of Genesis 6! The music video 21 is even more
revealing. In it, Katy is first represented as an alien from outer-space. Then,
she looks human, except with reptilian eyes and pale skin. Her hair is
arranged to look like DNA strands there are also short flashes of DNA
strands in the music video, along with other subliminal flashes of animals
mating, plants growing, a baby being birthed, and so forth. Towards the end of
the video, Katy kisses the human-robot awake the video then ends with
Katy, now with the legs of a goat (mixed seed, Pan connection), next to the
man, as they walk into the future. This is pretty blatant but, then theres
more.
I recently came across another music
group called Black Veil Brides. It is
a band made up of five (interesting
number in the occult) guys who
almost look like women, with long
black hair and very heavy make-up
(sort of the extreme Goth/Emo look).
Their album is called Set The World
On Fire one of the songs being
named Fallen Angels. You can see
excerpts of the music video at the
link below (I dont recommend
watching the full music video): http://
w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ?
v=xEc7KzcRg6Y
Basically, the music video starts with these asteroids or stars (not quite sure
what to call them?) falling to earth, exploding, and out pop the five band
members who start playing their instruments and singing their song. The
chorus is, Scream, shout we are the fallen angels! People (also dressed
in black with heavy make-up) gather round and start to sing with them there
are also a few people shown with black angel-wings and the music video
ends.
I have not visited the bands website (again, dont recommend it we must be
careful what we expose ourselves to), but found it interesting that the address
is bvbARMY. I dont believe this is random why choose this address?
What army are they talking about?
Alright, I could go on and on there is just so much information coming out
about all this! But, lets finish up this article 22 for now.

22 Printed September 2011. Please note, this article is by no means a =inished or

perfected work ... it is a work in progress.

52

Okay so what do I do with all this? How does

this information apply to my life now?
Theres a few things I hope to accomplish with this article
1. WAKE people up to
the times we live in! I
cannot emphasize
this more strongly
the Body of Messiah
MUST WAKE UP!
I very much believe
we are living in the
days of Noah, the
last days the days
the Scriptures have
more to say about
(prophecy) than any
other topic.
Time is short.
We are in a WAR
that is only going to
get stronger, harder,
darker. This world is
falling apart fast,
and the hearts/lives
of people people Messiah Yshua [Jesus] DIED for are at stake.
Body of Messiah, WAKE UP and fulfill that which the FATHER has called us to
return to Him and His Ways!
2. But in all this darkness, I hope through this article, you have seen the
absolute TRUTH of the Scriptures, and the LOVING Heart of the FATHER! He
has proclaimed the end from the beginning (one reason it is so important for
us to understand prophecy based in the Torah, the first five Books) He is in
CONTROL

He has an awesome and beautiful Plan of Redemption!

He is busy restoring all things and with the coming of King-Messiah Yshua
[Jesus], all things will finally be restored. His Word is TRUTH you can
absolutely depend on it and those in Messiah are to rejoice in the HOPE we
have in Him!

53

3. Knowing ABBA-YHVH (GOD), that these end days are the Day of the
LORD His Great Day, the FATHERs Finest Hour (not the enemys) must
be our anchor and hope! In NO way do I want you to become fearful from
reading this article. Yes, we live in serious times. Yes, the times we are
moving into are going to be really tough, times both Yshua [Jesus] and the
Scriptures describe as being troublesome (see Matthew 24 and Luke 21)
BUT, to those in Messiah Yshua [Jesus], to those following and grounded in
ABBAs Righteous Instructions and Ways (the Bible), we are NOT TO FEAR!
Lets learn from the wanderings of the generation who perished in the
wilderness, and instead, be Calebs and Joshuas (and Daniels), who believe,
trust, and know ABBA-YHVH (GOD)!
4. Lastly (and this is really connected to point one), the purpose of sharing this
information is for you to be AWARE and alert to the schemes of the enemy,
that you may NOT be deceived. Over and over again, we, as children of the
LIGHT (Yshua-Jesus), are admonished to be watching, discerning, and
searching for the Truth in the Scriptures in order NOT to be deceived. Why
is this so emphasized for the last days? I believe the answer is quite simple
the FATHER knew there would be MUCH deception in these times. If you
think about it, in this article alone, weve already covered a number of areas in
which deception is rife: GMO foods, the agenda of Hollywood, TransHumanism, and of course, the deception of the alien agenda and all of
these are having a direct impact (to some degree or another) on you and your
family right NOW.
Now, Im not saying everyone must do an intense study into Genesis 6, the
alien agenda and breeding program, and, and, and what I am saying is
that you need to be aware of whats happening, and aware of the enemys
agenda. The degree to which you delve into this subject will depend on what
the FATHER has called you to. This field isnt for everyone, and I would
strongly caution against becoming fascinated by aliens (fallen angels),
UFOs, and the supernatural. However, I believe we are ALL called to have a
proper understanding of Genesis 6 and what Yshua [Jesus] meant by
describing these times as the days of Noah that way, when things do start
to happen (and they will, soon), we can stand firm in the faith we can be
the LIGHT and have the answers to those seeking the FATHER in TRUTH!
Luke 21:34-36 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts
be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all
them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and
pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that
shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Ground yourself in HIM, the Solid Rock may the FATHER shine His Face
upon you! May you walk in His Righteous Ways and Instructions (His Word)!
May you know the refuge of His Name, YHVH (GOD), and remain in ABBAs
Perfect Shalom!

World's First GM Babies Born23

by MICHAEL HANLON, Daily Mail
The world's first genetically modified humans have been created, it was
revealed last night.
The disclosure that thirty healthy babies were born after a series of
experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about
ethics.
So far, two of the babies have been tested and have been found to contain
genes from three parents.
Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one
experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and
Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.
The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes
from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilised in
an attempt to enable them to conceive.
Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have
inherited DNA from three adults -- two women and one man.
The fact that the children have inherited the extra genes and incorporated
them into their germline means that they will, in turn, be able to pass them
on to their own offspring.
Altering the human germline -- in effect tinkering with the very make-up of our
species - is a technique shunned by the vast majority of the world's scientists.
Geneticists fear that one day this method could be used to create new races
of humans with extra, desired characteristics such as strength or high
intelligence.
Writing in the journal Human Reproduction, the researchers, led by fertility
pioneer Professor Jacques Cohen, say that this 'is the first case of human
germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy children'.
Some experts severely criticised the experiments. Lord Winston, of the
Hammersmith Hospital in West London, told the BBC yesterday: Regarding
the treat-ment of the infertile, there is no evidence that this technique is worth
doing ... I am very surprised that it was even carried out at this stage. It would
certainly not be allowed in Britain.

23 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-43767/Worlds-GM-babies-

born.html

58

John Smeaton, national director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn
Children, said: One has tremendous sympathy for couples who suffer
infertility problems. But this seems to be a further illustration of the fact that
the whole process of in vitro fertilisation as a means of conceiving babies
leads to babies being regarded as objects on a production line.
It is a further and very worrying step down the wrong road for humanity.
Professor Cohen and his colleagues diagnosed that the women were infertile
because they had defects in tiny structures in their egg cells, called
mitochondria.
They took eggs from donors and, using a fine needle, sucked some of the
internal material -- containing healthy mitochondria -- and injected it into
eggs from the women wanting to conceive.
Because mitochondria contain genes, the babies resulting from the treatment
have inherited DNA from both women. These genes can now be passed down
the germline along the maternal line.
A spokesman for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA),
which regulates assisted reproduction technology in Britain, said that it
would not license the technique here because it involved altering the
germline.
Jacques Cohen is regarded as a brilliant but controversial scientist who has
pushed the boundaries of assisted reproduction technologies.
He developed a technique which allows infertile men to have their own
children, by injecting sperm DNA straight into the egg in the lab.
Prior to this, only infertile women were able to conceive using IVF. Last year,
Professor Cohen said that his expertise would allow him to clone children -- a
prospect treated with horror by the mainstream scientific community.
It would be an afternoon's work for one of my students, he said, adding that
he had been approached by at least three individuals wishing to create a
cloned child, but had turned down their requests.

Dozens of Genetically Modified

Babies Already Born24 ... How Will
They Alter Human Species?
Story at-a-glance:

As of 2001, 30 children genetically modified children had been born,

courtesy of a process in which genes from a female donor are inserted
into a womans eggs before being fertilized. Two children that were
later tested were found to have DNA from three parentstwo women
and one man.

No one really knows what the ramifications of having DNA from three
parents might be for the individual, or for their subsequent offspring.

Many follow-up reports continue to tout the high success of this method
of treating infertility. But some do warn about the dangers and risks of
this procedure. Researchers have found a link between chromosomal
anomalies and oocytes manipulation, and one of the babies was
diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, a spectrum of
autism-related diagnoses, at the age of 18 months.

When I first read that genetically modified humans have already been born, I
could hardly believe it. However, further research into this story featured in the
UK's Daily Mail proved it to be true. They've really done it... they've created
humans that nature could never allow for, and it's anyone's guess as to what
will happen next.

Even more shocking was the discovery that this is actually old news!
The Daily Mail article was not dated, and upon investigation, the experiments
cited actually took place over a decade ago; the study announcing their
successful birth was published in 2001.
While I typically comment on recent findings and health related news, in this
case I will make an exception, because I think many of you may be as
surprised by this information as I was. I do not propose to have any answers
here as this is out of my scope of expertise.

At best, I hope I can stir you to ponder the implications of this type of genetic
engineering, and I invite you to share your perspective in the vital votes'
comment section below. As reported in the featured article:
"The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series
of experiments in the United States provoked another furious
debate about ethics... Fifteen of the children were born... as a
result of one experimental program at the Institute for
Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New
Jersey.
The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving.
Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs
before they were fertilized in an attempt to enable them to
conceive.
Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm
that they have inherited DNA from three adultstwo women and
one man."

Human Germline Now Altered ... What Happens Next?

Today, these children are in their early teens, and while the original study
claims that this was "the first case of human germline genetic modification
resulting in normal healthy children," later reports put such claims of absolute
success in dispute. Still, back in 2001, the authors seemed to think they had it
all under control, stating:
"These are the first reported cases of germline mtDNA genetic
modification which have led to the inheritance of two mtDNA
populations in the children resulting from ooplasmic
transplantation. These mtDNA fingerprints demonstrate that the
transferred mitochondria can be replicated and maintained in the
offspring, therefore being a genetic modification without
potentially altering mitochondrial function."
It's relevant to understand that these children have inherited extra genes
that of TWO women and one manand will be able to pass this extra set of
genetic traits to their own offspring. One of the most shocking considerations
here is that this was donerepeatedlyeven though no one knows what the
ramifications of having the genetic traits of three parents might be for the
individual, or for their subsequent offspring.
Based on what I've learned about the genetic engineering of plants, I'm
inclined to say the ramifications could potentially be vast, dire, and completely
unexpected.

61

As a general, broad-strokes rule, it seems few scientists fond of genetinkering have a well-rounded or holistic view of living organisms, opting
instead to view the human body as a machine.
And as demonstrated with the multi-varied problems that have arisen from
genetically engineered foodsfrom the development of superweeds and
superpests, to the creation of a never-before-seen organism now linked to
miscarriage and infertilitysuch a view is bound to lead you to the wrong
conclusions ...

Surprise, Surprise ... "Unpredictable Outcomes" Reported

As it turns out, this type of genetic modification, called cytoplasmic transfer, is
actually a hot topic among geneticists, but it's rarely published or discussed in
the lay press, if at allas evidenced by my own surprise when reading this
decade-old piece of news.
Many follow-up reports continue to tout the high success of this method of
treating infertility. But some, including a book put out by Cambridge Press,
warns of the dangers and risks of this procedure.
For example, the following excerpts from a report delivered during the 2003
World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility in
Berlin raises questions about the less than thoughtful implementation of this
technology, and some of the problems encountered:
"... Cytoplasmic control of preimplantation development is not a
"new" concept, but ooplasm transfer have been amazingly
rapidly applied in humans, with relative success, in the absence
of extensive research to evaluate the efficacy and the potential
risks of the method, resulting in some publications highlighting
the potential dangers (Winston and Hardy 2002, DeRycke et al
2002, Templeton 2002), and unpredictable outcomes (Cummins
2001, 2002).
... A frank follow-up of ooplasmic transplantation pregnancies
and infants reports that two out of 17 fetuses had an abnormal
45, XO karyotype. The authors assume the hypothesis of a link
between chromosomal anomalies and oocytes manipulation,
and reveal that one of the babies has been diagnosed at 18
months with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, a spectrum of
autism-related diagnoses."
So it didn't take longless than two years, in factfor reports of
"unpredictable outcomes" to crop up. I for one am not surprised. It's
somewhat disconcerting that so much of this research is taking place without
open discussion about the ethical questions associated with it.

62

The US FDA appears to have begun looking at the ethics of ooplasmic

transplantation, and in one powerpoint it is pointed out that an 18-month-old
child born from this procedure has been diagnosed with autism (PDD), and
that the incidence of chromosomal anomalies is known to be higher in
children born from the procedure than the rate of major congenital
abnormalities observed in the natural population.
The document also states that lack of testing and long-term follow-up of the
children born from the procedure so far is a significant shortcoming, making
evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the technique very difficult. The
genetic modification of humans appears to have been running alongside the
genetic engineering of plants, being just a few years behind in terms of the
technology being unleashed, and the lack of proper evaluation of health
effects is apparently on par as well, which is to say near non-existent ...

Could They Create Patentable Humans? Perhaps...

Another horrific side effect that has nothing to do with health per se, is the
potential that making this procedure widely available may trigger a "patent"
war; meaning these genetically modified humans could become patentable
property.

Sound crazy?
You bet! But it's not outside the realm of possibility. The world is already
embroiled in discussions about which genetically engineered life forms can
and cannot be patented, and biotech companies have secured patents on
everything from genetically modified seeds to engineered animals of various
kinds. Even human genes have already been patented!
As explained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU):
"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) grants patents
on human genes, which means that the patent holders own the
exclusive rights to those genetic sequences, their usage, and
their chemical composition. Anyone who makes or uses a
patented gene without permission of the patent holder whether
it be for commercial or noncommercial purposes is committing
patent infringement and can be sued by the patent holder for
such infringement. Gene patents, like other patents, are granted
for 20 years.
For example, Myriad Genetics, a private biotechnology company
based in Utah, controls patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2
genes [two genes associated with hereditary breast- and ovarian
cancer].

63

Because of its patents, Myriad has the right to prevent anyone

else from testing, studying, or even looking at these genes. It
also holds the exclusive rights to any mutations along those
genes. No one is allowed to do anything with the BRCA genes
without Myriad's permission. A 2005 study found that 4,382 of
the 23,688 human genes in the National Center for
Biotechnology Information's gene database are explicitly
claimed as intellectual property. This means that nearly 20% of
human genes are patented. In addition to the BRCA genes,
genes associated with numerous diseases, both common and
rare, are patented, including Alzheimer's disease, asthma, some
forms of colon cancer, Canavan disease, hemochromatosis,
some forms of muscular dystrophy, Long QT Syndrome, and
many others."
If this sounds outrageous, illegal, and nonsensical, it's because it's all of those
things. The ACLU claims to be engaged in a noble lawsuit against the US
Patent and Trademark Office to stop the practice of issuing patents that are
contrary to the law, which states only inventions can be patentednot
naturally occurring parts of the human body. Still, the precedent has been
clearly set. So what's to stop a company from eventually claiming patent
rights on an entire individual?

Human Cloning Next?

According to the featured article, "altering the human germlinein effect
tinkering with the very make-up of our speciesis a technique shunned by
the vast majority of the world's scientists. Geneticists fear that one day this
method could be used to create new races of humans with extra, desired
characteristics such as strength or high intelligence." But that's clearly not the
end of the line in terms of where this technology might lead, if it hasn't
already:
"... Jacques Cohen is regarded as a brilliant but controversial
scientist who has pushed the boundaries of assisted
reproduction technologies," Mail Online states. "He developed a
technique which allows infertile men to have their own children,
by injecting sperm DNA straight into the egg in the lab. Prior to
this, only infertile women were able to conceive using IVF. Last
year [2000], Professor Cohen said that his expertise would allow
him to clone childrena prospect treated with horror by the
mainstream scientific community. 'It would be an afternoon's
work for one of my students,' he said, adding that he had been
approached by 'at least three' individuals wishing to create a
cloned child, but had turned down their requests."
That was then12 years ago. One can only guess what might have
transpired in laboratories such as that of Professor Cohen since then ...

The "Massive Con" Causing a

Suicide Every 30 Minutes25
by Dr. Mercola, April 2012
Story at-a-glance:

The introduction of genetically engineered seeds, and the coercion of

Indian farmers to use them, has led to the largest wave of recorded
suicides in human history.

More than a quarter of a million Indian farmers have committed suicide

over the past 16 years as their crops have failed, leaving them in
financial ruin, largely as a result of Monsantos genetically engineered
seeds (especially Bt cotton); an Indian farmer commits suicide every 30
minutes, typically by ingesting his own pesticides.

Bt cotton is much more expensive than traditional cotton seed, requires

more water and pesticides, and has failed to produce the increased
crop yields promised by Monsanto.

Indias government has largely abandoned small farmers, discontinuing

support programs and failing to address factors such as lack of rural
credit and access to irrigation, among others, and new government
programs have barely scratched the surface of this crisis.

It's been called the "largest wave of recorded suicides in human history."
Indian farmers have been robbed of their livelihoods, causing them to take
their own lives in despair.
Over the past 16 years, it is estimated that more than a quarter of a million
Indian farmers have committed suicide. Who is responsible for this tragedy?
The most obvious culprits are global corporations like Monsanto, Cargill and
Syngenta and the genetically engineered seed they have forced upon farmers
worldwide.
None are hit harder than those in India, where socioeconomic and
environmental factors have magnified the impact, making it almost impossible
for these farmers to survive.
In fact, genetically engineered seeds are so fundamental to the problem that
it's been termed "GM Genocide."

The rate of Indian farmer suicides has greatly increased since the introduction
of Bt cotton in 2002.
This is not a pleasant subject to read about, but it is a necessary one one
that can help you understand why it's so important to continue fighting seed
monopolies with ever-increased resolve. I experienced the Indian farmers'
plight firsthand while spending two weeks in India, where I saw for myself the
devastating effects of GM seed upon the lives and livelihoods of these rural
farmers. I worked closely with Organic India, a company helping more than
150,000 farmers change back to time-honored methods of producing high
quality plants and herbs. If you have any doubts about the dire global
implications of GM crops, the plight of these farmers should put those doubts
to rest.

A Farmer Commits Suicide by Pesticide Every 30 Minutes in India

The statistics are staggering.
According to a publication from the
New York University School of
Lawiv, in 2009 alone (the most
recent year for which official figures
are available) 17,638 Indian
farmers committed suicidethat's
one farmer every 30 minutes. A
great number of those affected are
cash crop farmers, and cotton
farmers in particular.
Cotton exemplifies India's general
shift toward cash crop cultivation,
a shift that has contributed
significantly to farmer vulnerability.
The cotton industry, like other
cash crops in India, has been
dominated by foreign mega-corporations that promote genetically modified
seeds and exert increasing control over the entire agricultural industry. Most
farmer suicides are a direct result of overwhelming indebtedness. And the
suicide numbers may be grossly underestimated.
According to the authors of the NYU report:
"While striking on their own, these figures considerably
underestimate the actual number of farmer suicides taking
place. Women, for example, are often excluded from farmer
suicide statistics because most do not have title to landa
common prerequisite for being recognized as a farmer in official
statistics and programs."

66

The general trend over time is increasing suicides, despite the generally
decreasing numbers of Indians performing farming each year, which makes
the statistics even starker: It's estimated that more than 250,000 Indian
farmers have committed suicide so far. But this problem is not limited to India,
as the suicide rate for farmers is higher worldwide than for the non-farming
population.
In the Midwestern U.S., suicide rates among male farmers are twice that of
the overall population. In Britain, one farmer commits suicide every week.v
For every Indian farmer who takes his own life, a family is hounded by the
debt he leaves behind, typically resulting in children dropping out of school to
become farmhands, and surviving family members themselves frequently
committing suicide out of hopelessness and despair. The Indian government's
response to the crisislargely in the form of limited debt relief and
compensation programshas failed to address the magnitude and scope of
the problem or its underlying causes.

India's "Suicide Belt"

India is an agrarian country, populated by 1.1 billion people, about 60 percent
of whom are directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture. Two-thirds of
farmer suicides occur in five Indian states/territories, which has come to be
known as India's "Suicide Belt": Maharastra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,
Madhya Pradesh, and Chattisgarh. The worst area is Maharastra. In 2007,
there were 4,238 farmer suicides in this state alone, accounting for one fourth
of the total farmer suicides in India that year. These territories represent zones
of highly diversified, commercialized agriculture where cash crops dominate
especially Bt cotton, grown from Monsanto's genetically modified cotton seed.
So, what is it about genetically engineered seed that is so damaging for Indian
farmers?

Genetically Engineered Seeds Spell Global Disaster

There are four primary factors directly related to the use of genetically
engineered seed that contribute heavily to this grim situation:
1. Compared to traditional seed, genetically engineered seeds are very
expensive and have to be repurchased every planting season.
2. Genetically engineered crops require much more water to grow, have
much higher requirements for fertilizer and pesticide, in spite of
Monsanto's claims to the contrary and, in spite of their cost to farmers,
provide NO increased yield.
While companies like Monsanto have plenty of blood on their hands,
additional social, economic and environmental factors make matters worse for
these small rural farms:

67

The "Green Revolution" of the 1960s and 1970s has funneled money
toward the middle class and away from the farming/peasant classes.

Rising prices for seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and other farm supplies,
along with falling prices for farm commodities, are forcing farmers to
take out high-interest loans from opportunistic moneylenders.

A trend from polyculture farming (diverse crops) to monoculture farming

(primarily cotton) has depleted the soil and increased crop infestation
by opportunistic pests.

Limited water supplies, periodic drought, decreased monsoonal rainfall,

and poor access to irrigation.

Dishonest, predatory salesmen; lack of government support; and

grossly inadequate government relief programs.

Green Revolution Not Kind to Small Indian Farmers

The introduction of hybrid seeds marked the beginning of the current issues
plaguing Indian farmers today. Prior to the 1960s and 1970s, Indian farmers
grew diverse food crops, but that all changed with the Green Revolution as
modern machinery, chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and hybrid seeds were
introduced from the West. Most farmers in India now plant cash crops for
export, rather than rice, legumes, millet, and other foods for local
consumption.
And in India, cotton is king.
In 1998, under the World Bank's new lending policies, India opened its seed
sector to international agribusiness, forcing small cotton farms to compete
with giant cotton plantations in the West. Companies like Monsanto promoted
their new hybrid seed technology. However, it was soon discovered that the
new high-tech cotton required more water and more chemicals to grow. This
was not good for small Indian farmers, for whom both money and water were,
and still are, in short supply.

Seeds of Evil
In 2002, Monsanto "came to the rescue" with the introduction of even highertech seeds: genetically engineered Bt cotton. The company claimed that
these miracle seeds were a dream come true for farmers everywheremore
pest resistant, higher yields, etc. Bt cotton contains a bacteria gene, an
insecticide that repels bollworm, cotton's most voracious parasite.
But this genetically engineered cotton actually required far MORE water and
far MORE pesticides than hybrid or traditional cotton!
These seeds were heavily marketed in India, using film stars and even
religious deities to lure farmers in.

68

And they came with a steep price tagthey are four to 10 times more
expensive than hybrid seeds. Prior to hybrids, farmers were able to harvest
their own seeds from each crop, to be planted next season. However, many
genetically engineered seeds contain "terminator technology," meaning they
have been genetically modified so that the resulting crops don't produce
viable seeds of their own. Therefore, new seeds must be purchased every
year from big seed companies, at the same punitive prices.

Bt Cotton is a Debt Trap

Bt cotton requires more pesticide sprayings
than indigenous cottonMANY times more.
Bt cotton has created new resistant pests,
and to control these, farmers must use 13
times more pesticidesix than they were using
prior to its introduction. Rates of infestation
by aphids, thrips, jassids, and other pests
have risen since Bt cotton's introductionx.
Meanwhile, yields for Bt cotton are
disappointingly low. Monsanto claims Bt
cotton will yield 1500 kg per year, but
farmers have gotten only 300 to 400 kg per
year, average. High costs and unreliable
output make GM cotton a debt trap.
According to Voltairenet.org:
"When Monsanto first introduced Bt cotton in 2002, the farmers
lost one billion rupees due to crop failure. Instead of 1,500 kilos
per acre as promised by the company, the harvest was as low
as 200 kilos per acre. Instead of incomes of 10,000 rupees an
acre, farmers ran into losses of 6,400 rupees an acre Poor
peasants of the South cannot survive seed monopolies. The
crisis of suicides shows how the survival of small farmers is
incompatible with the seed monopolies of global corporations."
This has all been amplified by the dramatic fall in cotton prices as a result of
the WTO's free trade policies, which make cotton farming financially
unsustainable. Foreign agricultural subsidies have driven down the price of
crops on the global market, and unsubsidized Indian farmers can't compete.
In 1994, one pound of raw cotton fetched $1.10. In 2006, that same pound
brought in a meager 54 cents. A study carried out by the Research
Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology (RFSTE) shows that due to
falling farm prices, Indian peasants are losing $26 billion annually.

69

Add to All of That a Water Shortage

Bt cotton requires irrigation, which only 10 percent of Indian farmers have.
The other 90 percent depend on monsoonal rainfall, and in drought years,
they risk losing their crops, their financial investment, and even their land.
Droughts are becoming more frequent due to the changing climate. Rains
have largely failed for the past several years, and many genetically
engineered crops have simply withered and died, leaving the farmers with
crippling debts and no means of paying them off.
One studyxi showed that, although most Bt cotton seed packets carry the
information that they are "best grown in irrigated conditions" (in fine print),
NONE of the homes of suicided farmers had irrigated land. These farmers
aren't educated about what it takes to make these seeds grow and the
potential risk for total crop failure. And many farmers are completely illiterate
and sign on the dotted lines without the benefit of reading, much less
understanding, a contract.

And a Banking Shortage

Another factor contributing to the problem is that farmers no longer have
access to good loans. Thousands of rural bank branches have shut down
since 1993, redirecting their lending away from farmers and toward elite city
dwellers in Mumbai and Delhi, where high-tech growth and technology is
booming. Lacking the financial means to pay for high-tech seeds and
chemicals, about 80 percent of Indian farmers can borrow only from private
moneylenders, who charge exorbitant interest rates. In order to obtain these
loans, they must put up their land as collateral. When their crops fail, they lose
everything and become servants to the moneylenders.
Many seed dealers operate like America's infamous subprime mortgage
lenders.
India has an army of salesmen out selling farm products to farmers who can't
afford them. A famer is manipulated into the deal with high-pressure sales
tactics, and then borrows from a moneylender to do the deal. When his
harvests fail, he has no choice other than to borrow even more.
This marks the beginning of a downward spiral of indebtedness and despair.
After crops fail and moneylenders hover like buzzards over their decimated
fields, many farmers take their lives by ingesting the very pesticides they went
into debt to purchase, suffering slow, agonizing deaths.

India's Farmers are Abandoned

and Forgotten by their Government
The Indian government used to have agricultural extensions to help farmers,
but those days are gone. Farmers now have no one to turn to for advice,
except for predatory seed salesmen who don't have the farmers' best
interests in mind. The Indian farmers have lost faith in their government, and
who could blame them?
The government's priority is clearly India's new urban high-tech based
economy. Corrupt officials are disinterested in protecting farmers, and little
money is spent on infrastructure, in spite of the fact that 70 percent of Indians
live in rural areas. Until the government begins to address irrigation, rural
credit, and regulation of the business practices of multinational corporations,
the farmer suicide crisis will unfortunately continue.

Genetic Engineering Brings Magnitude 10 Dangers

Genetically tinkering with the human food supply what could possibly go
wrong? Plenty, as it turns out. The potential dangers of genetically engineered
food run the gamut, including:

Contamination of organic crop varieties.

Development of herbicide-resistant super weeds.

Organ disruption, cancer, and increased rate of miscarriage and

infertility in animals raised on genetically engineered feed.

Air and rain samples contaminated with glyphosate, and waterways in

agricultural areas contaminated with a genetically engineered bugkilling protein.

A brand new organism related specifically to genetically engineered

crops, found to be responsible for disease and sudden death in both
plants and mammals.

The potential risks of genetically engineered crops are so enormous that I

have devoted an entire segment of Mercola.com to the subject.

The Importance of Buying Organic Cotton

A few Indian farmers have decided to switch to growing organic cotton. There
are numerous advantages, of course, from the standpoint of healthbut there
are also financial advantages. A minimum price for organic cotton is
guaranteed. And the cost of growing organic cotton declines over time as the
ecosystem regains its balance.

71

Organic cotton fields may harbor a few bollworms, but you'll also find plenty of
helpful insects, such as ladybugs, and birds that help keep pests under
control. Organic farmers make their own insecticides from a renewable
mixture of cow dung, cow urine, and butter, and compost fertilizers as well.

You Can Help the Indian Farmers' Plight

Monsanto has been ruthless in their drive to use India as a testing ground for
genetically modified crops, and it gives us a very clear picture of what could
be in store for the rest of the world's small farmers if GM seed conglomerates
are allowed to continue. This is why it's so important to vote with your pocket
book, being vigilant about not purchasing GM foods.
I have visited thousands of Indian farmers who've escaped the clutches of
Monsanto, thanks to the efforts of Organic India that has taught them how to
grow crops organically. Organic India has also constructed a number of
hospitals and clinics to serve these farmers, which has helped tremendously
in restoring their dignity.
Your best strategy, to help both yourself and small organic farmers
everywhere, is to buy USDA 100% Organic products whenever possible, (as
these do not permit genetically engineered ingredients) or buy whole fresh
produce and meat from local farmers. The majority of the genetically
engineered crops you're exposed to are via processed foods, so by cooking
from scratch with whole foods, you can be sure you're not inadvertently
consuming something laced with genetically engineered ingredients. When
you do purchase processed food, avoid products containing anything related
to corn or soy that are not 100 percent organic, as any foods containing these
two non-organic ingredients are virtually guaranteed to contain genetically
engineered ingredients, as well as toxic herbicide residues.

This blessing is (ritually) recited (by the kohanim) during synagogue services during Nesiat Kapayim ("the Raising of the
Hands"), though it is also recited over children on Friday night before the start of the Shabbat meal or as a bedtime blessing.
2
The name YHVH (hwhy) represents God's attributes of love and mercy (~ymix]r:h; tD"m)i , in contradistiction to the name Elohim
(~yhil{a)/ , which represents God's attribute of justice and power as our Creator.
3
hk'r"B. (b'rachah). Jewish tradition considers this both material and spiritual prosperity. Pirkei Avot 3:15 says, "If there is no
flour, there is no Torah," by which is meant that material benefits are intended to help you pursue study of Torah. The first
occurrence of the word "blessing" in the Scriptures pertains to pru urvu (Wbr>W WrP.), "be fruitful and multiply" (Gen. 1:22).
4
rm;v' (shamar): To guard, protect, heed, as in the exercise of diligent care. Only God has the power to secure the conferred
blessing and keep it from turning sour or from fading away.
5
The word for "face" (~ynIP') is plural with the 3rd person singular ending. It is considered metaphorical since God is
incorporeal. The plural form is thought by some to indicate God's revealed and hidden attributes in creation.
6
The hiphil verb (raey") comes from the word "light" (rAa), and is thought to refer to God's wisdom. "May God enlighten you"
with His wisdom, i.e., the Divine Light that preceded the work of creation (Gen. 1:3).
7
May God grant you grace or favor (!xe), i.e., to understand the "breadth and length and height and depth" of God's love (Eph.
3:18). Grace refers to the bestowal of an undeserved gift. The blessing is bestowed even though unearned or unmerited.
8
Since one's face is an indication of the heart's attitude, Rashi says that this means God will suppress His anger by "looking at
you" (if God is angry at you, He "turns His face away" and refuses to admit your presence). The "lifting of face" also
pictures God lifting you up as a father might lift up his child in joy. The "showing of face" indicates spiritual intimacy.
9
All of the other blessings are useless without the establishment of inner peace, and therefore it is the seal of the blessing.
Shalom (~Alv') is not simply the absence of strife, but a balance and harmony between the finite and infinite, the temporal
and the eternal, the material and the spiritual realms. Shalom is a gift from Sar Shalom (~Alv' rf;), the Prince of Peace.
