Have you read any of Dr. Michael Heiser’s books on the topic? He goes into a lot of fascinating detail on this topic, as well as other spiritual beings, angels, demons, etc.
I was going to comment this. Heiser believes there are no longer Nephilim I believe, and that demons are the spirits of deceased Nephilim—a view supported by Second Temple literature.
I love this series but this one misses the mark. You state, "I think aliens and Big Foot are Nephilim, because they meet the criteria of influencing the physical space as well as the mental or spiritual."
I disagree. Why not allow God to create as many creatures and entities as desired without trying to put them all in one category. By your application you would have to include the golem as well.
Develop and deepen a personal relationship with God and all is revealed eventually.
I understand. This was a risky one to post. I’m still thinking it through. I guess, I’m also reacting to the materialist mindset which has no room for the ‘weird’ experiences we have,
Thanks for your comments. It’s through conversation we can better understand Reality,
Seconding (thirding?) Dr. Michael Heiser, and also Blurry Creatures. You should also look up L.A. Marzuli. He's all over the connection between Nephilim and alien abductions.
This is a thinker for sure. Big Foot sure is a mystery. I could see it being a unique Nephilim of some sort. After all, there are pre flood and post flood Nephilim. Could there be more diversity of Nephilim and how they behave? I'm open to that idea.
Aliens I think are different than Nephilim. I actually believe most sightings of aliens are angels. We should know that angels can alter their physical appearance, especially by the fallen angels during the beginning of creation. I would refer to Ezekiel and his image of a flying wheel full of eyes. Sounds like a flying saucer to me, but I can't confirm that.
I believe most demonic possessions and deliverance is from Nephilim. There are a finite amount of fallen angels, (Enoch says about 200) and there are far more people with demonic possessions than fallen angels.
God is full of mystery, and I wonder sometimes if he sends his angles to provide awe, wonder, mystery, and enchantment of life to the world. He desires to be with us, so maybe it's his way of hinting at he possibly of something greater than life. Without forcing us to chose him, but giving us the opportunity to chose him in faith.

Yes. And I think he believed that aliens are demons. Many people who have an encounter with aliens also have experiences with the occult.
Ever listen to Blurry Creatures? This is their jam. Great podcast and community to think through these kinds of topics!
Thanks I will
I'm wondering whether we can read the other parts... like Part 4 and Part 5. 😁
Sorry. Here they are:

Ah. I read those... they just weren't numbered, so I thought I'd missed some. Thanks!
This is a fascinating topic, I appreciate you taking it on, thank you.

Agreed. We have to put ideas out into the masses for validation.
