THE "MARK OF CAIN" WAS GIANTISM. GOD GAVE CAIN A "MARK" SO HE WOULD BE
PROTECTED FROM BEING KILLED BY HIS OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR KILLING ABEL.
GOD BANISHED HIM TO WANDER THE EARTH BUT GAVE HIM THIS MARK AFTER HE CRIED THAT
HE WOULD BE KILLED. ALTHO IT IS STILL SPECULATION TO SAY SO, WHAT OTHER THING
COULD GOD DO TO ONE'S PHYSICAL PERSON THAT WOULD PROTECT HIM FROM BEING KILLED
BY OTHERS? CAIN'S "GIANT GENE" WOULD THEN BE PASSED ALONG TO DESCENDANTS THRU
THE NORMAL GENETIC PROCESS. THESE PEOPLE WERE THE NEPHILIM.
ANYWAY THE BIBLE DOCUMENTS THAT THE ANAKIM GIANTS IN THE LAND OF CANAAN, MOST
OF WHOM WERE WIPED OUT IN THE CONQUESTS DESCRIBED IN DEUTERONOMY AND JOSHUA,
WERE DESCENDED FROM HAM, SON OF NOAH. THESE INCLUDED AMORITES, AND OTHERS. OG,
KING OF BASHAN, HAD A BED 13' LONG AND 6' WIDE SO HE WAS MOST LIKELY OF THIS
SAME GENE POOL. THE "GIANT GENE" MORE THAN LIKELY CAME FROM THE WIFE OF HAM.
(IN OTHER WORDS, SHE WAS A DESCENDANT OF CAIN.) GOLIATH OF GATH (KILLED BY
DAVID) WAS AMONG THE LAST OF THESE WHOSE EXISTENCE IS DOCUMENTED IN SCRIPTURE.
INCIDENTALLY, GOLIATH ALSO HAD 5 GIANT BROTHERS WHO WERE ALSO KILLED BY DAVID
AND/OR SOME OF HIS "MIGHTY MEN".
