As I have pointed out before, I always want to remain cautious in featuring anything from the “body of work” of guys like Paul McGuire and others who talk and write a lot about Nephilum, about the Extraterrestrial phenomenon, demons, etc.  I do so because of their dependence upon extra-Biblical sources of information which were rejected by the early church fathers as non-inspired and thus excluded from the Scripture Canon (Pseudepigrapha, Gnostic Apocrypha & Dead Sea Scrolls).  These sources were rejected in some cases because they have been determined to have been written by apostates and or imposters, and in other cases the works themselves do not claim to be the inspired word.  The early church fathers Origen, Athanasius, Tertullian, and Cyril all spoke out against the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha is believed to be of some historical value, however their authority was rejected in the first Century Council of Jamnia.  The Apocryphal books are, however, included in the Catholic Bible.  Gnosticism is highly esoteric, and tends to allegorize everything.  Under the influence of Neo-Platonism and Greek philosophy, and Constantinian politicizing of Christianity, these different books gained acceptance, while the inspired scriptures were re-interpreted to be symbolic rather than literal.   Man is always easily enamored with his own thoughts and ways, and the enemy, Satan, didn’t only just begin trying to mislead believers and potential believers in recent centuries.  He’s been at it a long time.  The wolves have been around since the church was born.  Few Christians know much about church history, or the process by which authorized inspired Scripture have been preserved, therefore few people know to be alarmed by the resurgence of influence of these extra-biblical sources.  It is a fine line to walk, and that is why I try to remember to put in these disclaimers about the extra-biblical nature of the speculation about “Watchers” and “Serpent’s Seed”, etc.  God warns us not to seek out those things that are beyond the realm of this life and dimension in regards to what we refer these days to as the “esoteric”. “Hidden knowledge” was the tempting fruit of which Eve and Adam partook in the Garden of Eden.  The idea that God has withheld some things that, if we knew it, would make us become “as gods”.  He warned us away from necromancy, divining, consulting with “the dead” because everything about the demonic realm is deceptive and will present itself as something it is not.  So any value in these topics which the Bible itself doesn’t directly give us insight or instruction on, must be considered to be part of a coming mass delusion, which the Bible does warn us about.

Being that we are so very close to the end of the age of Grace and to the catching away of the church, there seems to me, to be some possible value in exposing these matters as a few, among many, signs of the end.  So I can’t say but what the Lord has led these men to focus on those things, but keep in mind that God has been known to lead people in the course of fulfillment of His will, in such a way that they merely were allowed to accomplish some evil they would have naturally endeavored upon on their own, only because it ultimately set the stage for some greater good God already had planned.  An example of this would be Judas.  Judas will not be “rewarded” (not in a good way, at least) for his part in betraying Jesus, even though it was ordained by God that he would be permitted to do so.  That’s because it was his own sin nature that prompted the action.  God merely refrained from prohibiting it.

I think the pastor in this video tries to give the same sort of disclaimer as he presents this information in his sermon.  To make people understand that he is not endorsing what these guys are saying, but that just the fact they are talking about these things, is probably a significant indicator of the hour in which we live, and certainly causes one to stop and think.
