In this episode of Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott welcomes special guest Will Blesch, author of In the Shadow of Goliath. Together, they examine the biblical reality of giants, the Nephilim, and the ongoing spiritual conflict that began in Genesis 6.

Will shares his personal testimony, a childhood encounter that sparked his search for truth, and how his research connects ancient texts, Second Temple literature, and modern reports of non-human intelligences. This conversation challenges listeners to reconsider what the Bible truly reveals about the unseen realm and the war that continues behind the scenes.

The biblical account of the Nephilim (Genesis 6)
Why Goliath represents more than a historical figure
Evidence for a second incursion after the Flood
The role of fallen angels in ancient and modern history
Second Temple literature and its insights into Genesis 6
The influence of Greek rationalism on biblical interpretation
Modern UFO/UAP phenomena through a biblical lens

KJV Scripture References:

Genesis 6:1–4 “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose...”

1 Samuel 17:4
“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”

Jude 1:6
“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.”

2 Peter 2:4
“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;”

Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Discussion Highlights:

Will explains how the term “sons of God” consistently refers to angelic beings in the Hebrew text, not human lineages
The Nephilim are presented as a direct result of rebellion against God’s created order
Goliath serves as a visible reminder that this corruption continued after the Flood
Ancient Jewish writings—including Enoch, Jubilees, and other texts—expand on Genesis 6
Modern interpretations often remove the supernatural element, but the original context supports a literal reading
Reports of non-human intelligences today mirror patterns described in Scripture
Discernment is essential when evaluating spiritual encounters or claims of higher knowledge
