Today's post is inspired by an article I saw online about cloned pet dogs. Well, come to find out that "Dolly, the sheep" hasn't been the only clone! There are many clones these days, and people are paying BIG BUCKS to get their deceased pets cloned, paying thousands and even millions of dollars to do so.
Nothing's new in the world ...
Gen 6:4 There were giants in 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. {Note these "men of renown", these are the Greek & Roman *gods* (among other mythical gods), and the mythical creatures we've heard of such as centaurs (half man, half horse), etc, arise from these corruptions as well. See more below on the "mixing" of man & animal alike.}
See also Strong's H5303 {giants, the Nephilim} https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/Lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?strongs=H5303&t=KJV
Gen 6:11-13 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Here's a link to other instances of the word "giant" or "giants" in the bible, too many to list here.

That being said by Moses (above in Genesis), we look to the following biblical mentions of the Book of Jasher ...
Jos 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
And ...
2Sa 1:18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
And let's not forget this important mention ...
Jde 1:6-7 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
2Pe 2:4-5 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; ...
The rebellious father-fallen angels are chained in the bowels of the earth; however, their hybrid-offspring, drowned during Noah's flood, are what we now call demons, evil spirits, devils, etc (see more on that below). So now, we move on to Jasher, Enoch, and Jubilees recounting what they have to say on the topic of fallen angels, their hybrid-human-offspring (giants, nephilim) and their attempt to destroy/manipulate both mankind & all other creatures of the earth!
.:: JASHER ::. Chapter 4 ...
18 And their judges and rulers {of the fallen angels} went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
.:: 2 ENOCH ::. Chapter 18 ...
1 The men {heavenly angels} took me on to the fifth heaven and placed me, and there I saw many and countless soldiers, called Grigori, of human appearance, and their size (was) greater than that of great giants and their faces withered, and the silence of their mouths perpetual, and their was no service on the fifth heaven, and I said to the men who were with me:
2 Wherefore are these very withered and their faces melancholy, and their mouths silent, and (wherefore) is there no service on this heaven?
3 And they said to me: These are the Grigori, who with their prince Satanail (Satan) rejected the Lord of light, and after them are those who are held in great darkness on the second heaven, and three of them went down on to earth from the Lord’s throne, to the place Ermon {Mt Hermon}, and broke through their vows on the shoulder of the hill Ermon and saw the daughters of men how good they are, and took to themselves wives, and befouled the earth with their deeds, who in all times of their age made lawlessness and mixing {refers to mixing of humans and animals}, and giants are born and marvellous big men and great enmity.
4 And therefore God judged them with great judgment, and they weep for their brethren and they will be punished on the Lord’s great day.
5 And I said to the Grigori: I saw your brethren and their works, and their great torments, and I prayed for them, but the Lord has condemned them (to be) under earth till (the existing) heaven and earth shall end for ever.
.:: JUBILEES ::.
Jubilees 5:1-3
1 And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.
2 And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth -all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.
3 And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had corrupted its orders, and all that were upon the earth had wrought all manner of evil before His eyes.
Jubilees 7:20-27
20 And in the twenty-eighth jubilee [1324-1372 A.M.] Noah began to enjoin upon his sons' sons the ordinances and commandments, and all the judgments that he knew, and he exhorted his sons to observe righteousness, and to cover the shame of their flesh, and to bless their Creator, and honour father and mother, and love their neighbour, and guard their souls from fornication and uncleanness and all iniquity.
21 For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness.
22 And they begat sons the Naphidim, and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Naphil, and the Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man another.
23 And every one sold himself to work iniquity and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
24 And after this they sinned against the beasts and birds, and all that moves and walks on the earth: and much blood was shed on the earth, and every imagination and desire of men imagined vanity and evil continually.
25 And the Lord destroyed everything from off the face of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because of the blood which they had shed in the midst of the earth He destroyed everything.
26 'And we were left, I and you, my sons, and everything that entered with us into the ark, and behold I see your works before me that ye do not walk in righteousness: for in the path of destruction ye have begun to walk, and ye are parting one from another, and are envious one of another, and (so it comes) that ye are not in harmony, my sons, each with his brother.
27 For I see, and behold the demons have begun (their) seductions against you and against your children and now I fear on your behalf, that after my death ye will shed the blood of men upon the earth, and that ye, too, will be destroyed from the face of the earth. {See here for where demons/evil spirits come from http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe018.htm}
Jubilees 29:9-11
9 But before they used to call the land of Gilead the land of the Rephaim; for it was the land of the Rephaim, and the Rephaim were born (there), giants whose height was ten, nine, eight down to seven cubits.
10 And their habitation was from the land of the children of Ammon to Mount Hermon, and the seats of their kingdom were Karnaim and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, and Misur, and Beon.
11 And the Lord destroyed them because of the evil of their deeds; for they were very malignant, and the Amorites dwelt in their stead, wicked and sinful, and there is no people to-day which has wrought to the full all their sins, and they have no longer length of life on the earth.
If you haven't looked into these books, you should. Of course, take them with a grain of salt, they are NOT part of our biblical cannon, but that doesn't mean they don't have some validity or truth to them. See below for links to these books, I highly suggest you read them. Eat the meat, spit out the bones, shelve those things that you do not understand rather than discounting them altogether ... after all, you don't fully understand everything in the bible either! Reading these has brought quite a bit of clarity for me.
So now, we choose to either believe what the bible hints at as we see in these other ancient books ... or not ... we ARE in the days of Noah & Lot right now ... we are trying to play god in creating cloned copies of an original and even *mixing* kinds such as mice & rats with genetic human body parts growing on their backs, and even to the genetically modified foods (GMOs) we're told we can safely eat. These passages explain WHY the flood occurred, and what we are seeing in our skies & hearing of by people that claim they've been abducted by aliens. We are returning to the ancient ways from the days before Noah's flood and as a result the world will this time be destroyed by FIRE as the bible states. I report, you decide ;o}
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Get Jesus into your heart & life now, before it's too late. He IS coming, sooner than most believe.
