Dr. Patrick Heron was born in Dublin in 1952. At 24 years old, he had an epiphany while reading the Bible. He became interested in bible prophecy concerning the "end times" about 1996. In 1997, his first book Apocalypse Soon was published and became a bestseller in Ireland. It entered the Irish bestsellers list after an interview with Gareth O'Callaghan, on RTE radio, who said he "read it in one sitting and was gripped." There has recently been amazing interest to-date in this new book The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse, published by Kensington Publishing, which Patrick believes is the FIRST EVER book proving overwhelmingly who built the pyramids and why.

Are the Nephilim Giants? I say No.

It would appear that the vast majority of folks that are aware of and interested in the Nephilim believe that they were giants. The King James Version of the Bible was printed in 1611. This is what it says in Genesis 6:4, the first occurance in the English language of these beings:
"There were giants (Nephilim) on 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."
In another version it says, "...these were the heroes of old, men of renown." (NIV)
In the KJV, the translators did not know what the word the word "Nephilim" meant. So they translated it as "giants". Thus everyone afterward assumed that the giants were the same as Nephilim.
The Hebrew for "giant" is gibbor. Totally different from and has nothing to do with the word, Nephilim. The sons of God are created spirit men,or what we call angels. The Hebrew word Nephilim literally means "the fallen ones." Thus the sons of God were the Nephilim,fallen angels or Fallen Ones. For they fell from grace, fell from Heaven and fell to earth. The giants didn't fall from anywhere.
The offspring of the Nephilim were the gibbor, or giants; Hybrids of humans with the Fallen Angels. Enoch contends that the demons that inhabit the world today are the dispossed spirits of these offspring of angels with humans.
In my mind, the giants were not important. But the Fallen Angels, the gods of pre-history, were the powerful spirit men, full of fascination and wisdom and magick and supernatural ability, who ruled the earth and caused the sin and violence and bloodshed that precipated the Flood in those ancient times.
The giants were probably bungling oafs. That's why a 17 year old youth called David could skip around Goliath and sink a stone in his head before he had time to draw his sword.
And why the Israelites under Joshua could conquer the Promised Land and capture "60 of the giant cities of Bashan."
Because of their sin, these Fallen Ones are locked up in a subterranean prison called the Bottomless Pit, the Abyss and Tartarus. This where the "gods" are kept according to Homer.
Furthermore, in Ephesians 4:8 it says of Jesus;
