The Bible tells us how the times were before the disaster of the flood, when the immortals and the giants also called Nephilim lived. The first men in the Bible lived to extraordinary ages, these were the so-called immortals like Seth, Enoch and Methuselah who lived more than 300 years; but then the life of men was shortened as a result of the increase of evil in the world, the Bible teaches us that longevity is a blessing from God.
The Nephilim, on the other hand, came into the world as a consequence of the union of women with the sons of God, probably here is speaking of unions between angels or some unknown race of heavenly beings and women.
These things in the eyes of modern man seem absurd but it is likely that there was a real background, because we are talking about incredibly ancient times, we do not know for sure which were the first civilizations, or if there were some that have achieved great knowledge such as the famous Atlantis, this story from the Bible has great coincidences with other stories in other civilizations such as the Sumerian, the hindu and the chinese.
This is how the Bible tells us the times in which Noah lived, before the flood:
"Then the people began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them. The sons of God saw the beautiful women and took any they wanted as their wives. Then the LORD said, ´My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.´
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:1-4.

The flood took care of them that time. This time no hominids will survive. Life itself may go on, it may not. 144,000 is entirely too optimistic. The evil is out of time. It will be entirely erased from the universe. Can't you feel it? I can smell the end like rain on the wind. The self styled "elite" will go as well. They think they are prepared. They are not. They were cast from Heaven and now it is time for them to be cast into the abyss itself.
