E43 Numbers: Who Were The Giants of The Land of Canaan? Where Did They Come From? Were They Human Beings?

When we consider that God is all-powerful and the Master of all things He created, why didn\'t He just dispose of Satan permanently after he and the angels that conspired with him sinned?

Clearly, God\'s plan includes what can be considered a "chess game" with Satan. God creates the game and rules of engagement. Satan is sure that God\'s character binds Him to the rules just as Satan is bound to them. What we see then is a game of strategy. When God makes His move, Satan simply fashions his counter move. The main reason the Giants were fashioned by Satan was to pollute the pure line of human DNA so that the prophesied Messiah and Savior - Jesus Christ - could not fulfill the requirement of being the Second Adam. Since the first Adam was fully human, as humans are specifically made in God\'s image, the Second Adam had also to meet this requirement to redeem what the first Adam allowed Satan to take from him.  In this game, winner takes all and the stakes are eternal. Something to keep in mind as you study the history and details of this "chess match" and the strategies that Satan is allowed to use.

We know he looses, but God is keeping this game in play for 6,000 years. We are close to checkmate at this very time!
