The Giants Disappear Physically, But Reappear in the Spirit
We, like Job’s horse, “smell the battle afar off” and say “Ha, Ha!” Yet, the enemy has not yet lost the war, just the battle. The giants have disappeared physically, but not spiritually. What is it that happens when giants die? We look to the Book of I Enoch, a highly credible resource, for our answer:
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. (I Enoch 15:8&9)
These verses declare the second stage of Satan’s evil plan in his effort to control man. The giant manifestation was essentially physical. From now on, these evil spirits will swell the ranks of the regiments from hell. The enemy’s manifestation will now be essentially in the spirit. Paul said it well in describing that we war in the spirit, not the flesh:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the know/edge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (II Corinthians 10.3-6)
James R. Spillman, in his masterful book, A Conspiracy of Angelsii, presents the persuasive possibility that the scapegoat is not actually a type of Christ. In English the goat is called scapegoat and in Hebrew he is called Azazel. Spillman describes this event and its meaning perfectly.
