I will be updating this portion of my website weekly so as to keep everyone up to date on my research. In short, I am no longer a proponent of the Nephilim theory as the origin of Demons. The legend of the Nephilim did not originate from ancient Hebrew thought but just like the Shedim/Sedu, Nephilim was merely a migratory loan word and legend borrowed from a neighboring religion. Nephilim, being the antediluvian sages, were in fact the Apkallus of Mesopotamian mythology. In order for truth to be found, we must therefore outgrow antiquated dogmas that are designed to confound us. Namely, that the Demon is the fallen angel or the hybrid offspring of the fallen angel. If one believes in the Nephilim hypothesis then one must also accept that it was death that made them disincarnate and not their supernatural pedigree. "They will roam the earth for they are of men."-1 Enoch. It wasn't until the 1st century that 2nd temple Judaism used such a polemic to bolster their beliefs of the Olam Haba (the afterlife.) In summary: Demons are the by-product of mortality, not the by-product of immortality. This can be seen statistically in the Levant. The need for exorcism always rose at the height of religious or even secular persecution. The rate of mortality had everything to do with the increase in demonic activity.

The gravest curse we have inherited is making God into a man and making men into demons.
