The Second Incursion: Fallen Beings, Giants, and What Walks Among Us Still (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181912052)

What if the Flood did not end the war?

For generations, modern readers have treated Genesis 6 as a strange footnote before the story of Noah - a confusing passage about the "sons of God," the daughters of men, and the giants who walked the earth before the Flood.

But what if Genesis 6 is not a footnote?

What if it is one of the central keys to understanding the Bible's supernatural worldview?

In The Second Incursion, Bennett Tanton takes readers into the forgotten cosmology of Scripture - the divine council, the Watchers, the Nephilim, the Rephaim, the territorial gods of Deuteronomy 32, and the spiritual powers that shaped the nations after Babel.

Building from the biblical text, Second Temple literature, ancient mythology, folklore, and modern encounter traditions, this book asks a provocative question:

Did the rebellion that produced the giants before the Flood happen again after the Flood?

And if it did, what else did it produce?

From the giant tribes of Canaan to the goat-demons of the wilderness, from ancient hybrid beings to modern cryptid reports, The Second Incursion argues that the world described by Scripture is far stranger, more populated, and more dangerous than modern materialism - and much of modern Christianity - allows.

This is not a book asking you to believe every monster story, every myth, or every strange report from the woods. It is a book asking whether the Bible already gives us a framework large enough to explain why these patterns keep appearing across cultures, continents, and centuries.

The war did not end with the Flood.

The old gods did not simply vanish.

And some of what they made may still be waiting at the edges - in the forests, in the ruins, in the deep waters, and in the places where the human world meets something else.

The Second Incursion is a bold exploration of biblical supernaturalism, ancient giants, forbidden knowledge, divine rebellion, and what may still walk among us.
