Giants

“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 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. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.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.”

Throughout the Bible, giants represent the forces that are opposed to God. These giants always seem to be large and imposing and they are always working towards evil for every imagination of a giant’s heart is only evil continually. However, even though these giants try to do whatever they want to do they cannot every escape the Lord and His authority. In Matthew 10: 28 we are told not to fear them which kill the body but fear him which is able to destroy both the soul and body in hell. Even though the Lord knew what was going to happen before everything began, He saw that evil was becoming worse on the face of the earth. Evil committed by giants is far worse than evil committed by other people and God called these giants to account. He started to set the scene so that these giants would have to face the final, irretrievable consequences of choosing to defy God and they would be destroyed in hell. God also destroyed all the animals because they were groaning and travailing because of man’s sin (Romans 8: 22)
