WOW: Glenn Beck Is Now Telling You About The Genesis 6:4 Nephilim

Chapter 1: The handoff of power

We are living right now through the fastest handoff of power in human history. And not political power, but capability. A teenager with a phone can do things a government couldn’t do 30 years ago.

And something’s now being built that will hand every one of us abilities that we have not earned, we have not personally developed, and we were not formed to carry.

Chapter 2: The story of the giants

There is a story. It’s 3,000 years old. Most people know the verses at the front of the Bible. It’s in Genesis. It’s clearer in the Apocrypha.

And there’s disagreement on what it means, but let me give you one version. Something came down. Something intermarried with humanity. And the offspring were giants. Then came the flood.

And it reads like a fragment, a summary of a story that the original audience knew by heart, that the long version had to survive someplace else. And it did. In the one surviving story of this where you just get fragments in the Bible, 200 of them come down on a mountain.

It’s now the Golan. And they bind themselves by an oath because each one knows the other is going to lose the nerve. So what do they do? Among other things, they open a school.

One of them teaches metal working, swords, knives, armor. Along with it, how to grind minerals into paint for the face and dye for the cloth. Others teach reading the stars and the property of roots and plants and cutting of spells.

And the account doesn’t say they taught lies. It says they taught things that were true and the earth was ruined by it. That’s the weirdest part of the story.

I think humanity was going to learn how to make metal. Someone’s going to figure out what willow bark does. Somebody was going to figure out paint and dye. The crime was the calendar.

It arrived early. It arrived unearned from a source with no interest in what it would do to the people who received it. The giants in the story are simply the result, something enormous, born of that union with an appetite that the earth couldn’t feed.

Chapter 3: Preserving the records

Now, that long version disappeared. Western Christianity lost its entirety for something like a thousand years. No copies, no manuscripts, a book only existing as a rumor and a couple of quotations in the scriptures that survived.

It did survive in one place in the highlands of Ethiopia in a language that almost no one could read anymore. Copied by hands of monks who had no idea that anyone had lost it. And in 1773, a Scotsman went looking for the source of the Nile, and he didn’t find it.

But he came home with three copies of the missing book. And then in a cave by the Dead Sea, they found the pieces of the same text, but this time in Aramaic, older than the New Testament, which mattered because one of the letters in our Bible quotes it by name.

So it was a record assumed that was gone and it was sitting on a shelf in the mountains the entire time kept by people who were not trying to save civilization. They were just copying.

Chapter 4: Two models of society

Now the other half of that story, the same man at the center of that story. This man builds a city and the description of it is only a few words long. They become one heart and one mind.

And there was no poor among them. One mind achieved through righteousness over generations. Enormous cost and the city is taken up.

Now set that one beside the tower a few chapters later. Same goal. Unify humanity. Consolidate the species. One language, one project, reach the heavens.

Same architecture, opposite foundation. One is built out of what people became and the other is built out of what some people could engineer. What’s the heart of the father? Those fathers, are they in line with the father?

Because the second one gets scattered. I’m sorry. Are you even following this? I’m thinking about these things for weeks now.

We’re being sold the Tower of Babel, a merged intelligence, a unified mind, every problem solved by consolidation. It’s Enoch’s city offered without the price that Enoch had to pay. And if you can’t tell those two things apart, you’re going to walk into the wrong one cheerfully.

Chapter 5: The generational link

So, how does the Bible say that we are going to avoid a flood, for lack of a better term, a second time? Turn to the last few lines of the Old Testament. There was a prophet named Malachi and he’s signing off and he doesn’t end in comfort.

He says, “One are going to be sent before the great and dreadful day.” And his entire assignment is this: turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to their fathers. Otherwise, the earth is going to get struck with a curse.

The word behind curse is the harshest one available in that language. Total destruction, the thing devoted to ruin. So he’s not warning about bad weather. He’s saying it’s it.

He’s threatening a repeat. Another wording of the same passage doesn’t say cursed. It says the whole earth will be wasted. Wasted as in squandered, a creation that ran its entire course and never produced the thing that it was built for.

And what’s the actual remedy? Not SARS, not stronger walls, not better law, not restricted knowledge, not slowing things down. A generational link because the school on that mountain was teaching knowledge and it was unearned.

Fatherhood with the fatherhood removed. Fatherhood without fatherhood capability handed down by beings with no stake in the children receiving it. No relationship. No formation.

Nothing owed, just given. Give a child a blade and no reason to sheath it and you have manufactured a giant. That’s just true.

Have you ever wondered why we try to fly for thousands of years, and then at the same time the Wright brothers take flight, two others discover flight disconnected from each other on the other side of the planet, given the same ability to fly the same thing? We tried for thousands of years and then when one does it, others do it at exactly the same time.

Imagine if splitting the atom was just given to people 800 years ago. Nothing would be left. The world would have been destroyed. When we went looking for it at the right time with the knowledge that we had earned, so did the entire world.

And almost everyone came at it at the same time. Luckily, we won that race and not the Germans. But we earned it. We controlled it.

We’ve been responsible with it.

Chapter 6: Character and technology

One more thing sits underneath all of this and I think it’s an amazing detail. There are two men in the Hebrew Bible that do not die. Both are taken.

One is Enoch, the man sent to deliver the verdict on the first bad transfer of knowledge. And the other is Elijah, the man sent back before the last day to repair fathers and children, which may be now another time of bad transfer of knowledge. One started it and one comes before the end with the solution.

You don’t have to believe a word of this literally for it to be useful. This is where the religious and the rest of humanity can stand on the same ground. Temporally, it says the danger in new technology is almost never the technology.

It’s the interval between when a capability arrives and when the character to hold it arrives. Do we have the character to hold something this powerful? We have never in the history of mankind had a gap open this wide this fast.

Technology, it gives you a better test than is AI good or bad, which is a stupid question with no answer. The test is: was it received or seized? Was it earned or was it given?

Is it in season or out of order? Is it in relationship with the people it will land on? Or was it handed down by something that will not be here to care about the consequences?

Ask that about a product, a policy, a drug, a curriculum, a phone in a 12-year-old’s hand. We were not ready for that tech. And look what that tech has done to us.

I think we would treat that tech differently now that we’ve seen all that we have seen.

Chapter 7: Restoring our purpose

The next tech, AGI ASI, is not going to afford us a turnaround point. Spiritually, it hands you the only assignment that is actually yours. You’re not going to slow the labs down.

You’re not going to legislate the pace of this thing. It’s just not going to happen. But the thing the last verse of the Old Testament says prevents the ban, it’s entirely within your reach.

And it’s not abstract. It’s your children. It’s your kids. It’s your father if he’s still alive.

It’s finding out who he was if he isn’t. It’s being the one who hands down not just the capability, but the reason for restraint, the humanity, the love of family, family of man. The most frightening part to me of this is we’re the fathers here.

These systems are learning from us. Our writings, whether we are a good person, whether we’re Gandhi, Jesus, or a serial killer, it’s our writings, our judgments, our appetites, our arguments. Whatever is in us goes into that.

And it runs the other direction, too, harder. A civilization that hands its actual children a machine to be shaped has severed the exact link the prophet said we’re supposed to hold. Every generation gets something it was handed.

It’s handed something that we didn’t earn: fire, steel, the atom. The only question that’s ever mattered is whether somebody was standing there who loved them enough to teach them the cost. Somebody who stood at the mountain and taught the world how to make a sword, but then never mentioned what a sword does to the family, it’s not a help.

Don’t be that guy. Be the other thing. Turn towards the family, towards the children, towards the father.

The monks in Ethiopia weren’t trying to save the record. They just kept copying one page at a time for a thousand years. And it turned out to be the only copy left.

That’s the job. Turn your heart to the father and to the children. Earn it.
