The Bible speaks of a mysterious race of giants who walked the earth in ancient times. From the “mighty men of renown” in Genesis 6 to the towering warrior Goliath who faced David in battle, Scripture records the existence of men whose size and strength were far beyond ordinary. These accounts have long stirred both fascination and debate among researchers: Did giants truly exist, and could evidence of them still be discovered today?
Evangelist Perry Stone believes we may be closer than ever to answering that question. In a recent video, he pointed to discoveries that could shed light on this biblical mystery.

“When you read the book of Genesis chapter 6, it says that there were mighty men of renowned giants that were in the earth back in the time of Noah, both before the flood and after the flood,” Stone explained. He reminded viewers that the Bible names giants slain by David and his men, Goliath, Ishbibenob, Saf and others, standing at an estimated nine to ten feet tall.
Stone noted that unusual archaeological finds may be pointing back to these ancient giants. “There was a pit found in Egypt with these real… right hands of giant bones. The hands were enormous and that may have been one proof of that,” he said.

More recently, archaeologists unearthed oversized leather shoes at a Roman fort. While most shoes from that period were standard in length, some measured over 12 inches. Stone questioned the simple explanations given by researchers: “If… it was just a shoe that was made in the winter and they put extra socks on, you should have a whole bog full of hundreds and hundreds of these shoes… That’s just my opinion.”
He suggested the possibility that the shoes could belong to “perhaps Rephaim or giant-sized men that were kind of a… DNA mix that still existed at that particular period of time.” This speculation ties directly to Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:37: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the time of the coming of the Son of Man.”
According to Stone, the link between the days of Noah and modern discoveries is too important to ignore. “I do believe that at some point… because the days of Noah were connected to giants, that you may find some kind of evidence,” he said.
Stone closed his message with encouragement for believers: “We are in the time of Noah and Lot, parallel seasons which remind us that the Lord is coming. Keep your faith. Keep your head up and keep on looking forward.”

The fascination with giants will continue to spark curiosity, but as Stone reminded, the focus must remain on Scripture. The Bible itself is the surest foundation, “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16).
As new discoveries surface, Christians are called to view them through the lens of God’s Word, finding wisdom and discernment in the truth that has stood unchanged for thousands of years.
