Was Haman A Descendant Of The Nephilim?

Is it possible that Haman wanted to destroy the Jews because he was a descendant of the Nephilim? This post comes directly from the 2nd Edition of As The Days of Noah Were. As I was reading through Esther, I got the feeling that something was missing, so I looked again. Here are my findings based on further study of Esther. Please feel free to chime in with any questions or comments. Angel month was inspired by Beyond Flesh and Blood: The Ultimate Guide To Angels and Demons.

In the book of Esther, we encounter Haman, who is referred to as an Agagite. While there are no definitive verses that connect Haman directly to the Nephilim king Agag, there may be a little bit of circumstantial evidence. For example: the Anakim descended from Anak, the Canaanites descended from Canaan, so it makes sense that the Agagites would have descended from Agag.

As we read through Esther, we find that Mordecai refuses to bow to Haman, but the Bible never states a reason for that. In Esther 2:5 we learn that Mordecai is a Benjamite, which refers to the tribe of Benjamin. Saul was also a Benjamite (1 Samuel 9:21). Was it possible that the story of Saul and Agag had been passed down to Mordecai?

In Esther 3, Haman is first introduced and promoted by the king, but Mordecai refuses to bow to him for unknown reasons. Upon finding out that Mordecai is a Jew, Haman immediately starts plotting to have them all wiped out.

If Haman was indeed descended from Agag, that may explain why he immediately wanted to wipe out all of the Jews, based on the disrespect of one man. Again, this is all circumstantial evidence, but it does seem to make a little sense out of the situation that occurred in Esther.
