Ezekiel mentions how the final end of the Dark Army of Gog will be in the Valley of Travelers (Ezekiel 39:11-16). Given the context, we know that this location is somewhere east of the Transjordan Ridge above the Dead Sea.
This is the same approximate area of the Pentapolis, the five cities that included Sodom and Gomorrah, which were all destroyed. I’ve already mentioned the various ancient shrines found in this area, dominated by death cults, necromancers, etc. The whole point is that the tribes living there were seeking ways to cross over (travel), to make illicit contact with the Spirit Realm.
Sodom was a part of this. Most people don’t get what their sin actually was. Jude says they went after “alien flesh”. It’s not really the homosexuality as sex, nor the horrendous lack of hospitality. It appears they were guided by some Nephilim. The people of Sodom knew that these two visitors were angels, beings from across the boundary between this world and the Unseen Realm. They were seeking to breach that boundary in a complementary fashion to what the Watchers had done (according to Jude 6-8).
The very notion of such an awful thing was encouraged by the Watchers and Nephilim. Indeed, we can’t even comprehend just how hideous this whole concept is. But consider how every mention of this entire eastern side of the Jordan Rift Valley tells us it was historically populated with various clans of the Nephilim. Indeed, the far northern end of this ridgeline is Mount Hermon, considered to be the site where the Watchers descended and vowed to violate this boundary between realms.
Something in the teachings of the Watchers and Nephilim generated some fantasy about restoring the powers of Eden, where humans didn’t live by the “sweat of the brow” but kept God’s private garden by His Word. There’s something about this kind of power that calls to the flesh, seeking the advantage of powers that exceed what God offers to us by the Covenant.
It’s an extension of the temptation the Devil offered in the first place, that the humans could decide for themselves what was good and evil, becoming their own gods. Fallen men have always longed to seize the powers of Heaven without having to pass the Flaming Sword or the Cross.
The Flood wiped out the first generation of Nephilim. I believe it’s safe to assume the Watchers found a way to draw people within range of the Abyss so they could spin off another generation of half-breeds. From there, they spread across Palestine to form a baited trap waiting for those who sought to appropriate the promise to Abraham.
The ethnic cleansing of the Conquest was as much about removing the filthy seed of Nephilim as it was about tearing down the pagan shrines. The nasty shrines of Canaan Land were like flags marking clusters of Nephilim kinfolks. Yes, it was by definition “genocide”, but the targets were not mere humans. They were demonic beings who simply looked like people.
This was the mission Israel failed by growing weary of conquest, leaving too many of the Nephilim to survive until much later. From what we can tell, David killed the last of them. But the fantasy of humans “evolving” to be like the Nephilim is still with us today.
Few understand that the whole reason the Nephilim existed was to destroy the human race altogether and to seize the world for themselves.
