Why would this be referenced in a positive way by Nee and Lee? I have no idea. Really. What was the genesis (pun intended) of this idea?
Is there any other scriptural basis for this idea? And didn't they see the connection to Genesis 6, and Numbers 13? I find the idea of 'giants' to be abhorrent. Really. Am I over-reacting, here?
And the Final Giant. . . they didn't even dare print that one. But I heard them talk about it, when Lee passed. The age had turned, they said. . . did anyone else hear this kind of talk, that the age of spiritual giants was over? What is the source of such talk?

I heard it numerous times, as if the age was transitioning from the MOTA to the BOTA (that's the body of the age, you know the "body" at LSM, all supported by those Local "
merely the procedure" Churches to access the New Jerusalem.
On a more sober note, I always felt that the talk about
the age of spiritual giants was over was a shot over the bow aimed at Titus Chu (and apparently Dong Yu Lan). Lee always spoke in coded terms. Nothing repeated was said by accident. Words always had two meanings.
Lee knew the power struggle that would occur when he died. (
Happened with every other MOTA before him, and including Lee himself.) He knew that none of the Blendeds could stand up to TC personally, so Lee isolated him against all his loyalists. All the Blendeds were prepped by Lee ahead of time, perhaps even hinting the need to quarantine him "for the body," you know like how they killed Jesus in order to save the nation of Israel.
