The Nephilim, described in Genesis 6 as the “mighty men of old, men of renown,” have reemerged in today’s cultural conversation with surprising force.
Once confined largely to theological debate, giants are now the subject of mainstream interviews, viral clips and renewed interest in ancient texts.
Recently, Tucker Carlson hosted AJ Gentile of The Why Files to discuss claims surrounding giant skeletons, Smithsonian cover-ups and historical accounts of red-haired giants in places like Lovelock Cave. Their conversation has reignited questions about whether the biblical narrative of hybrid beings born from fallen angels and human women should be taken literally.
While much of the modern discussion centers on archaeology and suppressed records, Scripture presents a deeper spiritual framework.
Genesis 6 introduces the Nephilim in connection with the “sons of God” and the corruption that led to the flood in Noah’s day. References to giants continue throughout the Old Testament, from the Anakim to Goliath of Gath.

The New Testament also addresses angelic rebellion in passages such as 2 Peter and Jude, pointing to a supernatural conflict that extends beyond mere biology. Ancient writings such as 1 Enoch and the book of Giants, along with discoveries among the Dead Sea Scrolls, reflect how seriously early Jewish communities regarded these events.
The bigger question remains: When Jesus warned that the last days would be “as it was in the days of Noah,” was He speaking only of moral decay, or something more? With growing talk of ancient giants, increasing knowledge and escalating global instability, many believers see echoes of biblical prophecy unfolding in real time.
Watch the full discussion above to explore the historical claims, the biblical texts and the prophetic implications surrounding the possible return of the Nephilim.
