Veneration Book

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming:

It stirreth up the Rephaim for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth;

It hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Isa. 14:9)

 There were giants in the earth in those days. The same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

These were the heroes of legend; kings and warriors called Rephaim, whose deeds inspired worship long after they passed from the earth, a false, demonic religion that corrupted God’s chosen people even before they entered the Promised Land.

 What’s more, the prophets of Israel foretell a day when these mighty men return from Sheol to fight alongside the Antichrist at the Battle of Armageddon.

 In this groundbreaking book, husband and wife authors Derek P. Gilbert and Sharon K. Gilbert show how the giants of old shaped the worldview and religion of the Hebrews—and the terrifying role they’ll play in the end times.
