~5516 BC God created everything in 6 24-hour days

On the First Day God Created the Heavens, including their host. All the angels were created on the first day, as God “created the heavens”.

Gen 1:1-5 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day."

Nowhere are we told the details of the creation of the angels, sons of God, morning stars, or whichever term that is used to refer to the host of heaven. We know they are the host of heaven, and as such it makes sense to think they were created with the Heaven. God created the heaven, and the earth. First God created the heaven, and then second the earth, that is the order told in Genesis. This understanding is reflected in Job.

Job 38: 4-7 [God says to Job]
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone- while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"

This shows the angels, including Satan, were present before the foundations of the Earth were laid- thus when God “created the heavens”. In between when God “created the heavens” and "the earth” is when all the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy. And Satan was one of the singers and shouters.

ADD PICTURE

It is important to note that the “earth” God made originally was made out of water, not land. Water was the original composition of the Earth. The Earth was originally made of water, as the word for "deep" in Hebrew, thowm (8415) means deep waters. This is further supported by:

2 Pet 3:3-7
"Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation." For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men."

Here we see the understanding that Peter had 2000 years ago, that the earth was formed out of water and by water. Originally the earth was water. When Genesis says darkness was upon the face of the deep (waters) it is because originally the earth was water when it was first made, formless, and void. There was no pre-adamic creation, or pre-adamic flood. The world was not in ruin from some pre-adamic civilization ruled by Satan. That is simply a lie. That lie is designed to make Satan out to seem more important than he ever really was. It is a lie that serves to bring renown and attention to Satan, and it simply isn’t true.

People try to say that Jesus called Satan the "prince of this world" because he was here first, before Adam. That isn’t true. Satan is prince of this world because power was handed over to him much later by other angels in power after they chose to rebel against God. (See Chapter 4 and other later chapters for more detail) But when Adam sinned, death came into the world, and then Satan gained some power, because he was the angel in charge of keeping people from the tree of life. Before Adam sinned, Satan did not hold that power. But Satan did receive that important anointing and ordination after the fall, as it says in Ezekiel:

Eze 28:11-14 "Then this further message came to me from the LORD: "Son of man, weep for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign LORD: You were the perfection of wisdom and beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone--red carnelian, chrysolite, white moonstone, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald--all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created. I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire."

The King of Tyre here refers to the Spiritual ruler of Tyre at the time, who was Satan. On the first day Satan received special clothes made of precious stones, and later was in Eden. That means when God “created the heavens” on the first day, Satan at that time was created, and on that first day at some point he received special clothes, laden with precious jewels and stones. Later, after God made Eden, on the 6th day, Satan was in Eden. And Satan was ordained and anointed as the mighty angelic guardian, my guess would be a guardian over the tree of life, and thus the guardian over death. And what is death but the eventual result of not being able to sustain life?

I think the explanation is that Satan was the cherubim mentioned in:

Gen 3:24
"So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life."

This is the only "mighty angelic guardian" ordained and anointed, that is mentioned in reference to the time of Eden. In general, keeping people from the Tree of Life and thus immortality, resulted in focus on death, as well as authority over those that will die. Satan is the angel of death, insomuch as he is the angel responsible for keeping people from life by keeping them from the tree of life. More power was later given to him by other angels that subsequently fell, which is why by Jesus' time it was true for Jesus to call Satan the prince of this world. (See Chapter 4 for more detail)  It is important to note that if this is the case, that Satan was not anointed as such until after Adam and Eve had already sinned, with the serpent (Satan's) full involvement. This anointing would not in any way have compelled Satan to be evil. If this is the case that Satan was the anointed cherub mentioned in Gen 3:24, by that point Satan had already shown he was evil, and Jesus' triumph over him had already been prophesied. Let's take a closer look:

On the sixth day God created Adam and Eve.

Gen 1: 26-27, 31 "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them...God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day."

All was very good as of the end of the sixth literal day from the beginning of creation. Thus Satan was not evil as of the end of sixth day, because all was good. The word for "all" here in Hebrew is 'kol' (3605) which means all, the whole all, the whole of any, each, every, anything, totality, everything. Satan had not become evil by the end of the sixth day of creation, the sixth day of Satan’s existence.

Then, there was the first Sabbath day, the seventh day (7 evenings and mornings, approximately 24 hour periods) from the beginning. During these sevens days all the hosts (tsaba 6635 refers to angels) were completed including the angels and Satan.

Gen 2:1-4 "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven."

This is the entire account, folks. This is it. God made everything in 7 literal days, approximately 24 hour periods. Later in the book of Exodus, we learn the Sabbath day, which we are to keep Holy, is because of the original day of rest that God took in the first week of creation.

Exo 20:8-11 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”

This is not symbolism devoid of meaning. Everything was made in a week, a literal week. And at the end of the sixth day, Satan was still good and hadn’t done anything wrong yet that is recorded, because God saw all he made and it was all good.

Next, Satan convinces the serpent to tempt and deceive Eve, beguiling her. I know Satan was the brains, the serpent was the brawn. I don’t know exactly how this worked, but somehow it worked. (Dr. Michael Heiser has some interesting ideas on this involving the word "Nachash", though I am not sure how precisely accurate his ideas are.) But that Satan was the serpent is confirmed in:

Rev 12:9 "And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."

Gen 3:1-5 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" The woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'" The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

The serpent is physically cursed and the serpent(s) made enemy with Eve's seed.
Gen 14-15 "The LORD God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed;"

This speaks to the fact that humans and snakes have had enmity between them ever since.

Satan and his seed are made enemies of Christians, and Satan's eventual defeat by Jesus Christ is prophesied:
Gen 15-16 "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."

The meaning of this ties into a couple other passages of scripture:

*John 8:42-44 "Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I
proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own
initiative, but He sent Me. "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because
you cannot hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the
desires of your father He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the
truth because there is no truth in him Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own
nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

One meaning is that when human beings reject Jesus, they are not children of God, but children of Satan, spiritually. As Jesus also said in Matt 12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” Another relevant verse is:

*Rev 12:13, 17 "And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he
persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child...So the dragon was enraged
with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the
commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus."

Another way to look at this is that the church is made of the children of God. Eve, Sarah, the nation of Israel, Mary, and the church are all reflective of the woman, and her children are Christians, all Christians from the time of Jesus onwards to now, and Abraham's true children of Old Testament times, who were declared righteous by their faith.

Pre-Flood, before ~ 3284 BC

Some angels sired children with human women. In doing so these angels sinned and became fallen angels. These offspring were hybrids called Nephilim, who were very large giants, probably over 30 feet tall.

Gen 6:2,4 "That the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose...The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown."

1 Enoch 6:1-3 "And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'"

1 Enoch 7: 2-6 "And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones."

(Note: 3000 ells would equate to about 300 feet. My guess is that the numbers got confused somewhere, and the Nephilim were in fact about 300 ells, which would be about 30 feet in height. But I could be wrong. The Nephilim may truly have been comparable to the giants of Gulliver's Travels in size, 300 ft.)

Now, on my use of 1 Enoch: Jude quotes from the book of 1 Enoch in the Bible: Jude 1:14-15 is a direct quote of 1 Enoch 1:9.

Jude 1:14-15 "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

1 Enoch 1: 9 "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgment upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh
Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

If this section of 1 Enoch is good enough for Jude, Who was under the leadership of the twelve disciples/apostles, then it’s good enough for me. As you can see below in the next scripture passage, Peter also considered some of what is taught in 1st Enoch to be correct. The First Book of Enoch also used to be official canon in the early church in Ethiopia, and was well used in the early church. I go into this more in a later chapter.

This breeding was a terrible perversion, and a sin against God. As such, these angels, now fallen angels because of their sin, were bound in chains in an unknown location, called Tartaros, or the “valleys of the Earth” until the Judgment Day. Tartaros is the same place mentioned as the Abyss in the book of Revelation.

2 Pet 2:4 "For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into Tartaros and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;"

Jude 1:6 "And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,"

1 Enoch 10:11-15 "And the Lord said unto Michael: Go, bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgment and of their consummation, till the judgment that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations."

Just to go on a little tangent here, It is my belief that the first 19 chapters of 1 Enoch should be considered Holy Scripture. (see chapter on 1st Enoch for more on 1st Enoch) It was written before Jesus was born. It is also my belief that Enoch himself was reincarnated, and wrote 1 Enoch himself. I don’t really have anything to back that idea, but it is my personal belief. John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated, and I believe Enoch was reincarnated also. These are the only two instances of reincarnation that I believe are Biblically possible, as they are the only 2 men mentioned in the Bible to have not died, but been taken up to be with God while still alive. I do not understand how this reincarnation would work, but it is also my firm belief these are the only two instances of reincarnation possible in all of history. For in Heb 9:27 we read “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment”. Getting back to it…


As for the Nephilim hybrids, whose fathers were immortal angels, and whose mothers were mortal human women: when the Nephilim died their spirits were still immortal and active, but their bodies were dead like a pure human's would be. They became disembodied spirits. Like their fathers, they were bent towards evil in life, and also in death. These are "evil spirits" or "demons". The fallen angels who were their fathers were (before they became fallen) a type of angel originally known as a "watcher", or perhaps "guardian angels".

1 Enoch 15: 8-12, 16:1-2 "And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. [As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.]
And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them. From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from the souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgment -thus shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly consummated."

These are the demons mentioned so many times in the New Testament. Jesus cast these demons out of people. They were also called evil spirits. These demons do not have bodies of their own, but instead inhabit the bodies of humans and animals. (How this works is explained in another chapter on the physics of demons) Demons are the disembodied spirits of dead Nephilim. Demons are not the same thing as fallen angels. Fallen angels have bodies (of a sort), and demons used to have the bodies of giant men, but their bodies died, so now demons do not have bodies. Demons are evil spirits, and we know Jesus said spirits do not have flesh and bones.

Luke 24:37-39 "But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit. And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? "See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

Even the apostles were confused about this issue, as to what attributes a spirit has and does not have. The differences between demons and fallen angels and who does what and which has what abilities has been a matter of confusion for a long time. I’ll go more into the differences in abilities and attributes in a later chapter.

[Note: The term "watcher" is used referring to angels in Daniel 4:13, 17, 23 as well as First Enoch. So the term is canonical without a doubt.]

With the interbreeding of fallen angels and humans, we see there is an additional meaning to the enmity between Satan’s seed and Eve’s seed. That is the enmity between the giant Nephilim, and human beings. The Nephilim while alive were terrible giants who “turned against and devoured mankind”. So the Nephilim killed and ate humans. In death, the Nephilim became demons, which harass the “children of men” in every way they can. Thus there is enmity between the seed of fallen angels (under Satan in hierarchy), and the seed of humans.

However, it was not only the first generation of Nephilim that became demons. To the best of my understanding, the Nephilim themselves were not sterile. The Nephilim were all male, and virile. In Gen 6 we read of the Nephilim, I think this verse should read in modern English “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.” It is my interpretation that when the scripture says “and also after that” it means that there were giants on the Earth after the point at which fallen angels first sired giants with human women. However, I do not think this means that every giant is a hybrid; far from it. I believe that the scriptures allow for another interpretation. I believe that the Nephilim, the hybrids, were firstly all male as the scriptures indicate, and secondly, virile and not sterile. As such, I believe the hybrid giants (Nephilim) also took human wives, and sired somewhat smaller giants. Here things start to get complicated.

It is important to understand: Lev 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.”

We know from modern science that the blood of a baby in the womb is produced from the combined genetics of the father through the sperm and the mother through the egg. We know that an egg by itself is incapable of developing a baby and the baby's blood. It is by the additional genetic information that comes from the sperm of the father that makes conception possible, and the resulting blood of the baby. Once the baby is conceived and life begins, and the baby's blood begins to form, it is kept separate from the mother's blood. This may seem counterintuitive because of the fact that the baby is in the mother's body, but it is true. The mother’s blood never intermingles with the baby, nor does her blood go into the baby, but the placenta acts as a barrier between the mother’s blood and the baby’s blood, converting the mother’s blood into the baby’s blood. It was by this very mechanism that the Lord Jesus’ blood was completely pure from sin, as his life and blood came from God the Father in his immaculate conception, and his blood was not in any way “contaminated” by the blood of his human mother Mary. The blood of all humans is contaminated with sin, but Jesus’ blood was pure and clean from sin. It is from the contribution of the father of a child that life begins, without his contribution there would be no new life, no new baby.

We know from the Bible that the life of a being is in the blood, and there could be no life or blood for a baby without the father of the baby.  We see that not only did Jesus' life and blood come God the Father, but we also know from the Bible that,

1 Cor 15:21-22 "For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."

Rom 5:12-14 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come."

Here, it is shown that God counts that it was through Adam (not Eve) that death and sin were passed down to all of the rest of humanity. This demonstrates to us that the life (which is found in the blood) is counted through the paternal line. The life is determined by the father, not the mother. The life and blood is counted as being added by the father, because without the addition of the father's sperm, there would be no new life, no new blood, and no baby. The father is counted as essentially  contributing the life and blood, the life being in the blood, the Bible shows that God considers the father to be the one who contributes the life-blood, not the mother. As such it makes sense that Jesus' life was the life of God, and his blood was pure and not tainted with any sin. (As a side note, I think it also is interesting to mention that though the traits of the baby are determined equally by the combination of the father and mother, the gender of the baby is determined by the father. So overall, the father's sperm has more "deciding power" over what the baby will be like than the mother's egg.)

That being said, let's resume our look at Nephilim, whose fathers were fallen angels. When the Nephilim hybrids sired children with human women, the children quarter-breed giants were also descended from the life-blood of fallen angels. As such, they were still Nephilim, and when they died, their spirits also were disembodied, and they became demons. And when the quarter-breeds sired children with human women, producing eighth-breed giants, and those giants were still Nephilim. When they died their spirits were disembodied and free to roam the earth as demons. These giants certainly became smaller and smaller as more of their genetics became human, with each generation. The life is in the blood, which God counts as running through the paternal line. Any giant whose paternal line traced back to a fallen angel was ultimately a Nephilim whose spirit became disembodied, and who became a demon, at death.

On the other hand, anyone whose paternal line traces back to a human being is a human being, because the life is in the blood, which is counted through the father. Although the first generation of hybrids are specified to have all been male, there is no reason I know of to think that subsequent generations of Nephilim-giants could not have been female, especially as more of their genetics became human with continued interbreeding. I think there were female Nephilim-giant descendents, whose paternity traced back to fallen angels.

And if a human man was to interbreed with the daughter of a Nephilim-giant, the resulting children would be giants, but they would also be Human giants. When these human giants died, their spirits would go to Sheol, because they were human, and they would not be demons on the earth. So human giants were also possible.

And so the world prior to the Flood was a mess of all sorts of interbreeding. There were Nephilim hybrids, and there were their descendents who were also Nephilim-giants. Then there were human beings, and Human-giants as well. When the Nephilim and their giant descendents died, their disembodied spirits harassed the human beings on the earth as demons. Of the Nephilim, and likely also their Nephilim-giant descendents it is written in Enoch: “Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood.”

And we also know, Gen 6:5-7 "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The Lord said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

I think it's important to note that human-giants, whose maternal line traced back to fallen angels, were considered human, and God would have correctly called them "man". So the human-giants were included in the men that God was sorry He had made. It should also be noted that in Matt 24:38 Jesus says, "For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark". Part of the sin of humans before the flood was that both human men were choosing to marry female Nephilim descendents, and that human men were giving their human daughters away in marriage to male Nephilim giants. This was willing sin and perversion on the part of humanity, and surely part of why God was sorry He had made humanity.

Also, Gen 6:11-13 “Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.”

And so God brought about a worldwide flood, to kill everything on the earth. But we also read, Gen 6:8-9 “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.”

In the Greek Septuagint translation this reads:

Gen 6:9 "And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God."

The word here for “generation” is “genea” (1074) which means “fathered, birth, nativity, that which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family, the several ranks of natural descent, the successive members of a genealogy”.

Noah was genealogically perfect. He was human, with his lineage tracing back to Adam, and his paternal line was perfect. In light of all this interbreeding between fallen angels and humans, it is important to note that Noah was perfect in his genealogy.

So Noah was chosen to build the ark and survive the flood, which was worldwide, and destroyed all animal and bird life, human life, and Nephilim-giant life on the earth, except for the life in the ark. However, before the flood, the first generation of the Nephilim killed each other off, as it says in 1 Enoch 10:

“And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.”

So none of the first generation of Nephilim lived longer than 500 years. This was a great many years less than many people lived in those days, many times living to be over 900 years old. The fallen angels which sired the Nephilim were bound in Tartaros after they had seen their sons kill each other off. 1 Enoch 10:

“And the Lord said unto Michael: Go, bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgment and of their consummation, till the judgment that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever.”

Also, during this time period the fallen angel Azazel, and Semjaza, and others, taught knowledge and technology to humans as we read in 1 Enoch 8:1-3:

“And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all coloring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .”

This is confirmed in Gen 4:19-22 “Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.”

Technology, metallurgy, weapon making, all began very early in the history of humanity, and technology was originally taught to humans by fallen angels. Technology did not originally “evolve” or develop slowly over tens or hundreds of thousands of years. But this technology that was taught encouraged sin… adultery and fornication were encouraged in jewelry, ornamentation, and makeup, and murder and thievery were encouraged in the making of weapons. Idolatry was encouraged in the teaching of astronomy, and the attributes of the heavens, encouraging people to become fascinated and worship the created, instead of the Creator. The teaching of enchantments may refer to magic, and the worship of fallen angels and demons, praying to them, asking things of them, etc. This was all very bad, and was a large part of why humans were so sinful and evil. God punished the leader of the fallen angels who was teaching this destructive technology to humans as we read in 1 Enoch 10:

“And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgment he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin…”

After all of this, God sent the worldwide flood. The proof of the worldwide flood is seen in the fossil layer found all over the Earth. All the animals, including dinosaurs, and people, which were all created on the sixth day, were all killed in the flood, save for those on the ark of Noah. All the descendents of the Nephilim were also killed in the worldwide flood. The account of the worldwide Flood is in Genesis 7, 8, and 9.
