And according to the book of Enoch, and this was the understanding the universal belief

of the early church, the early Christian church, for the first four centuries after the

crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, was that demons were the spirits of the giants, the

Nephilim, destroyed in the flood.

And according to Enoch, these spirits were condemned to wander the earth, tormenting humanity

without incurring judgment. That was sort of like the penalty on humanity for agreeing

to their terms. Yes, we will trade you the women's for the secret knowledge. These demons

apparently still have contact with their parents down in the abyss. That's, now again,

this is speculation because the Bible doesn't tell us we don't know for sure, but that would

be the only explanation that makes sense to me, is that they're still in contact with

these entities in the abyss and running messages back and forth.

And running messages back and forth.

And running messages back and forth.

Hey, welcome back to blurry creatures. This week we have Derek Gilbert, author and researcher.

An awesome guy. Derek is one of the most genuine dudes in this space. Super cool guy. Super

smart. Hopefully you can hang with him. He goes fast. So get ready. But thanks for tuning

into blurry creatures, the podcast about creatures and we related all through the Bible and try

to give you guys better answers out there to like some mysteries like Bigfoot and all

the ancient creatures that where they come from. And in order to do that, figure that out.

We have to go back to the ancient world and ask some hard questions of what is the

stuff spawned from and is it all related. And this podcast has gotten heavy into theology

way more than I ever thought. But we appreciate you guys being along this journey with us.
