HereÕs
a good Bible trivia question: When Jesus Christ descended into the paradise
side of hell for those three days between His death and resurrection, what did
He do there?
The
answer is found in I Peter 3:18-20:
18] For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
[19] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
[20] Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that
is, eight souls were saved by water.
Basically,
Christ preached to those same disobedient angels from NoahÕs day who impregnated human females with giant offspring and have
since been held in chains of darkness (II Peter 2:4).
Jordan
explains, ÒWhat must first be understood is that in any New Testament
scripture, the word Ôspirit,Õ when itÕs a reference to a creature and not to
our human makeup (of spirit, soul and body), itÕs a reference to a demon or devil,
except in Hebrews 12 when the writer talks about Ôthe spirits of just men made
perfect,Õ which is a reference to angelic creatures.Ó
As
Jude 6-7 further instructs, ÒAnd the angels which kept not their first estate,
but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under
darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
[7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like
manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.Ó

Jordan
says, ÒYou see how the bringing in of the Flood is connected with the angels
that sinned? It wasnÕt just a judgment on natural manÕs ungodliness; it was a judgment
upon the angelic ungodliness also.
ÒWhat
PeterÕs doing is talking to some people (out in the future) who are going to
face the same kinds of things the people faced back in NoahÕs day. The origin
of it was back there (before the Flood) and the culmination of it is over here
(in the upcoming tribulation period). And just like Christ had a witness
through Noah, Ôa preacher of righteousness,Õ this Little Flock is going to be
witnessing over here.
ÒIn Daniel 2, youÕre going
to discover that all this stuff going on with the giants is directly connected
and associated with what the Antichrist is going to be doing!Ó
The
image Nebuchadnezzar saw had five parts to it. The head of gold is Babylon and
Òas the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom
shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
[43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to
another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.Ó
Jordan
explains, ÒIf you mingle yourself with the seed of men, the implication is you
arenÕt one of the seed of men. You are from a different source. When we read
about the giant Og and he had that big bed, do you remember what it was made
out of? Iron.
ÒWhen
we read about Goliath, do you remember the iron in his armament? In the Bible,
iron and clay have a very specific connection and one is with the giants.
ÒWith
the satanic activity that resulted in the giants, the iron and clay was
something very important in connection with man.
ÒWhen you study the career
of the Antichrist, were not just talking about world leaders at the United
Nations. WeÕre talking about some stuff that, if you get to thinking about it
long enough, it will scare the bejeebers out of you. All of a sudden, people
see demons behind every rock, and that isnÕt whatÕs happening today, but itÕs
sure gonna be some stuff happening in the future!Ó

WhatÕs
ever-fascinating is the picture-type presented in
Nimrod, who we learn from Genesis is related to the giant offspring produced by
the demons!
First,
in Genesis 6:4, it says, ÒThere were giants in the earth in those days; and
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men
of renown. was one of the mighty men which were of
old, men of renown.Ó
Then,
in Genesis 10, weÕre told ÒAnd Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one
in the earth.
[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even
as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.Ó
Jordan explains,
ÒWhat did it say about Nimrod? He was a mighty what? Hunter. He said, ÔDonÕt worry about it, IÕll take care of everything; you
donÕt have to go scatter and hunt for your dinner like God said. I donÕt want
you to have to be scattered all out looking for food.Õ
ÒEverything NimrodÕs doing is in rebellion to God,
and in what begins in Babylon, the plain of Shinar where Nebby shows up later
on, is the setting for the inception of Baal worship (the AntichristÕs
religion) and the people turning into Ôthe heathen.Õ
ÒItÕs
interesting in light of what weÕve been saying. It says Nimrod BEGAN to be one
of these mighty men, men of renown. When you were born, somewhere after you
were maybe 20-25 years old, did you just begin to be human? It said he began to
be a one of these mighty men of old; men of renown. I
read over that verse for years and never thought much about it, but then I got
thinking about it.
ÒItÕs like Nimrod had been
living along here and all of a sudden something clicked. ThereÕs a catalyst. There
was some gene turned on and he began to be. When I read that, I think, ÔThese
guys had tapped in to an ability to controlÕ . . . I mean, today weÕre just
scratching the surface with cloning, genetic engineering and that kind of
stuff.
ÒThese
guys had tapped into the ability to manipulate and control DNA, the human
genome. Did you know that right now the proof as to whether people are
criminals or not isnÕt so fool-proof anymore? ManÕs
devious nature is going to take whatever you do and do what? His imagination is
only evil continually.
ÒThis
is real important because they learned some secrets about the spirit world from
these angels when they co-habitated with them.
ÒNimrod
founded Babel and Babel (which is Babylon) was (and will be) the place of the
centralization against the purpose and plan of God. ItÕs there that theyÕre
going to have the one world language, the one world religion, the one-world government. TheyÕre going to do everything
they can to thwart Gods purpose.Ó
