I remembering reading what I thought then as a very odd verse of scripture many years ago. It is in Ezekiel 23 and it is talking of two sisters who prostitute themselves. The two sisters are metaphors for Samaria and Jerusalem. As with many prophecies, these appear to have duel meanings and contain literal truths. Speaking of the promiscuity of one of the sisters it says:
“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.” Ezekiel 23:20
I can remember reading this quite a few years ago and for some peculiar reason, the image stuck in my head (if you will excuse the pun). On reading the Book of Enoch several years later, that passage came to mind again. Here Enoch describes a vision he has of the fallen angels descending to earth and having marital relations with human women. This passage contains metaphors where bulls and cows refer to men and women.
“And again I saw with mine eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell from heaven, and it arose and ate and pastured among those oxen.
And again I saw in the vision, and looked towards the heaven, and behold I saw many stars fall and cast themselves down from heaven to the first star, and they became bulls amongst those cattle and pastured with them.
And I looked at them and saw, and behold they all let out their privy members, like horses, and began to cover the cows of the oxen, and they all became pregnant and bare elephants, camels and asses.
And they began moreover to devour those oxen; and behold, all the children of the earth began to tremble and to quake before them and to flee from them.”
As with many places in scripture, the angels are called here “stars.” The stars fall from heaven and cast themselves down to earth. This proves once more that what we are dealing with are fallen angels who come from this other world called heaven. These are the fallen ones and when they cover the females, they bare what Enoch calls elephants, camels and asses. In other words, they bare monsters who bore little resemblance to the humans.
These are the giants of the Old Testament and of the many myths and legends which speak of giants from every corner of the world. Even in my own country of Ireland, giants are mentioned several times in historical records. Balor was the famous one eyed giant ( Cyclops?)who fought at the battle of Moytura. Close to my cottage on the side of a hill in the west of Ireland there is a mound made of stones which is referred to locally as “the grave of the giant.”
