1). Giants were the result of the cohabitation of angels and human women (Genesis 6:1-4). The purpose of the angel and man cohabitation was to corrupt the blood line in order to prevent the Messiah from coming through the seed of men (Genesis 3:14, 15).  There had to be two eruptions of fallen angels, one before the flood and one after. The purpose of the second eruption was the same as the first, to corrupt the human bloodline. The angels who were in this second eruption were also angels who had previously participated in the original rebellion mentioned in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. See notes in Genesis 6:1-4; 6:9.
