I had initially resisted the idea of the 'gods' (potentially Nephilim?) alive in our day until I read Michael Heiser's book:

Reversing Hermon: Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ

Now, with altars and images of pagan gods taking 'place of pride' in our country, and bizarre evil focused on children etc. I do feel the spiritual rising of Evil as I believe it is spoken of in the bible as the church, and the Age of Grace, exits.

While many things in the Bible are clear, the mysteries surrounding the nephilim, and demons in general, are not. We only know for sure that they exist, or did exist, and are a danger to our salvation.

However, man’s own sins may be all that are required to bring forth the tribulation, so our goal should be to protect ourselves from sources of evil, including our own nature. The verses of 2 Timothy 3 gives some potential insight into this.

2 Timothy 3

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Michael Heiser was a good man. I always enjoyed his videos. He was gone far too soon. It doesn’t mean I agreed with everything he said, but he certainly had some interesting points of view, such as, when Jesus said, upon this rock I will build my church. Interesting perspective.
Actually, I think the Nephilim are here now, but not like they were in Genesis 6.

Now, with altars and images of pagan gods taking 'place of pride' in our country, and bizarre evil focused on children etc. I do feel the spiritual rising of Evil as I believe it is spoken of in the bible as the church, and the Age of Grace, exits.

Excellent points.

We are indeed in the last days.

The Spirit of the antichrist/lawlessness is running rampant across the earth.

Satan is walking to and fro across the planet doing his last bit of damage. He knows his time is short.

When the church is taken up, there is no holding him back. God's spirit lives inside all Christian and has been holding back the worst of Satan's plans.

When we are gone all hell will break loose.

1 Peter, 5:8:
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
