The Immortality Heist

In the Exodus story, God’s command to “let My people go” was a direct challenge to an empire claiming ownership over souls.
Rome, Egypt, and the Hidden War Over Souls
The Aeneid describes a future where Rome’s emperors – Romulus, Augustus, and others – are shown not as mere mortals, but as pre-existent souls awaiting rebirth. In Book VI, Aeneas’s deceased father Anchises guides him through Elysium, the blessed region of the underworld, and points out a gathering of spirits by the River Lethe, destined to return to the living. “They are the spirits owed a second body by the Fates,” Anchises explains. These souls have spent a thousand years undergoing purification and are now preparing for reincarnation into new mortal bodies. To do so, they must drink from Lethe; the river of forgetfulness; in order to erase all memory of their previous lives. Among them are the legendary founders and rulers of Rome, “Romulus… Julius Caesar and Augustus,” each destined by the Fates to be reborn and fulfill their roles in building the empire. This vision presents Rome’s rulers not as products of history, but as recycled souls, chosen by cosmic decree, their return an inevitability shaped by a divine mechanism, not divine communion.
But what are these glorified souls, really? The Bible offers a startling parallel: the Nephilim of Genesis – ancient hybrid beings, born of illicit union between divine rebels and human women. Not merely “giants,” the Nephilim are portrayed as false immortals – mighty, renowned, but cut off from God’s life. The pattern emerges: from Pharaoh’s court to Virgil’s epics, from Rome’s emperors to today’s elites, a thread of empire-building claims the divine spark for itself. And against all these stands the divine command echoing through time: “Let My people go.”
Was this command merely about freeing slaves? Or was it the opening salvo of a cosmic battle over souls? What if worldly empires – Egypt, Rome, and the systems of today – are fronts for a deeper agenda: hijacking the human soul, the very image of God, for a counterfeit immortality project?
The Aeneid’s Vision: Emperors as Recycled Souls
In The Aeneid, Book VI, the Cumaean Sibyl guides Aeneas into the underworld. There in the paradisal Fields of Elysium, his father Anchises reveals a shimmering pageant of Rome’s destiny: countless souls waiting by the Lethe to forget their past and live again. These are not new souls but ancient ones – “spirits owed a second body by the Fates” – now choosing rebirth. Romulus will found the Eternal City; Julius Caesar and Augustus will rule an empire. Each soul, “a golden” one, is handpicked for imperial glory.
Virgil’s portrayal gives Rome a sacred genealogy: its leaders are literally immortal, their right to rule preordained by a cycle of reincarnation. This is spiritual aristocracy, a claim that the grandeur of empire comes from an otherworldly pedigree. The Roman promise is a kind of Elysian gospel: Drink, forget, and rise again in glory. But note well – this pagan gospel offers glory without true life, memory without presence. It is a counterfeit eternity, built on the recycling of souls rather than the true renewal of hearts filled with the Holy Spirit.
Hollow Giants and the Quest for Immortality
Genesis 6:1–4 describes a mysterious pre-Flood event: divine beings; called “sons of God”; took human women as wives, producing the Nephilim, a race of hybrid giants. These were “the mighty men of old, men of renown”; legendary figures of strength and fame, but not divine. They were not made in the image of God, nor filled with His breath (ruach). Instead, they were born of rebellion, powerful but soulless, bearing no spark of divine life.
Ancient texts like the Book of Enoch expand on this: the Nephilim were the offspring of the Watchers; fallen angels who defied God’s order. These giants introduced forbidden knowledge: warfare, seduction, sorcery. When the Flood came, their bodies perished, but their spirits remained; restless, incorporeal, and malevolent. Enoch 15 describes them as disembodied spirits, cursed to wander the earth: “evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies… they afflict, oppress, destroy, attack…”
They are not just myth; they are the spiritual architects of false systems. According to Enoch and early Christian thinkers like Justin Martyr, these spirits “subdued the human race… by magical writings, fears, and sacrifices.” In other words, behind the cults of gods and emperors lurked the same ancient hunger: soulless beings seeking power, worship, and stolen life.
This draws a sharp contrast with Virgil’s vision in The Aeneid, where Nephilim spirits await rebirth in Elysium to rule again. Scripture instead reveals a darker continuity: not divine reincarnation, but demonic reanimation; the same ancient spirits repackaged through ages, from Babylon’s idols to Caesar’s cult.
Even the Epic of Gilgamesh reflects this. Gilgamesh; often considered a Nephilim-like figure, part divine, part human (through corrupted DNA) desperately searches for immortality, aware that despite his kingship and conquests, he lacks eternal life. His haunting lament echoes that of all who are mighty without God: “Must I die too? Must I be as lifeless as clay?” (Tablet X). The Nephilim, like Gilgamesh, possess memory, might, and myth; but no indwelling Spirit, no breath of God. Their pursuit of immortality is always a grasping, not a gift. They seek eternity without submission, permanence without repentance, and divinity without grace.
Scripture reminds us that man was formed from the dust, but only became a living being when God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Genesis 2:7). Without that breath; without the Holy Spirit; we are lifeless in spirit, no matter how strong in flesh. That’s why Christ taught: “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). This rebirth is through repentance, faith, and purification by the blood of Christ.
Unlike the pagan souls who await recycling in Elysium or the demonic spirits hoping to re-enter flesh, the children of God must be born again while still in this life. The transformation is not posthumous; it happens here and now, through the Spirit. “Behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). There is no second chance in a shadow realm; no Lethe to drink, no fate to climb. We are not destined for purgatorial waiting rooms, mingling with restless Nephilim spirits. The only path to true life is through the cross, where Christ shed His blood to cleanse us, and through the Spirit, who breathes new life into our mortal clay.
So while the Nephilim no longer walk as giants in flesh, their influence endures; as disembodied spirits behind thrones and ideologies, still craving the breath they never received. They are shadows of false eternity, whispering through empire, myth, and modern illusions of godhood. But we are not made for such shadows. We are made to ascend through Christ (not man made religions) who alone offers life; not as a recycled fate, but as a risen, Spirit-filled new creation.
“We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”— 2 Corinthians 4:7
Breath and Glory: The Economy of Souls
At the heart of this discussion is a fundamental question: What is life? The biblical answer is clear – life is relationship to God, the One who “breathed into [Adam’s] nostrils the breath of life” (Genesis 2:7). Jesus Christ is described as “the life” and “the light of men” (John 1:4). To possess true life is to be animated by God’s Spirit, the ruach or pneuma that gives us our very being. As Paul wrote, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels” (2 Corinthians 4:7) – a treasure not of our own making, but God’s indwelling presence.
The allure of the Nephilim/empire model is to exchange breath for glory. Instead of the quiet, interior life with God, it holds up the shining achievements of power, knowledge, and fame as pseudo-life. Consider Anchises’s proud exhibition of heroes in Elysium: they have luminosity and renown, but do we ever see them in communion with God? No – they are described in terms of achievement, valor, rule, not righteousness but stolen light.
Thus the economy of souls in these myths and systems works like a spiritual pyramid scheme. The elite promise a form of immortality to the masses; through sacraments, emperor worship, or submission to their paradigms and man-made religion; not to save, but to control, while reserving divinity for themselves., and in return they demand the souls of the masses – their labor, their worship, sometimes literally their blood. It’s a harvest of souls: Pharaoh claimed ownership of Israel’s populace, Caesar claimed to be “Son of a God” demanding emperor-worship, and so on. Ezekiel’s warning could not be more direct: “Will you hunt the souls of My people… and keep yourselves alive?” (Ezk. 13:18). Empire’s answer, from Nimrod to Nero, is an arrogant “Yes.”
Empire as Soul-Trap: From Pharaoh to Caesar
If you were an entity cut off from God; say, a Nephilim spirit or any fallen power; you could not receive the breath of God, that divine spark given only to His children. You would have no access to true eternal life, no communion with the Creator. And yet, your hunger for existence would remain. So what would you do? You would seek a substitute. You would mimic what you could not possess. You would imitate divine sonship and attempt to sustain yourself by harvesting human worship. You would construct a system that reflects heaven outwardly, but is built on rebellion inwardly. In other words, you would build an empire.
Throughout history, this imitation of incarnation can be seen most clearly in rulers who claimed divine origin. Augustus Caesar famously styled himself Divi Filius, “Son of a God,” linking his authority to the deified Julius Caesar. This is more than propaganda; it’s a spiritual statement. Like the Nephilim, who were born of “sons of God” and human women, these rulers present themselves as hybrid beings, false mediators between heaven and earth. They echo the ancient lie: “We are the god-men now; through us, you will reach the heavens.”
To reinforce this illusion, empire-builders have always wrapped themselves in myth. Rome’s origin story involves twin founders suckled by a she-wolf. Alexander the Great claimed descent from Zeus. These stories are not mere folklore—they serve as masks for old spiritual forces. The same beings once worshipped as Baal, Marduk, or Horus now reappear under names like Jupiter, Caesar, or even divine Pharaoh. The early Christian apologist Justin Martyr observed that the fallen angels, after corrupting mankind, taught people to offer sacrifices and burn incense to them. The names and empires may change, but the demand remains constant: total allegiance.
This blend of political and spiritual control is not accidental; it is the very structure of empire. When Moses demanded Pharaoh let Israel go, it wasn’t just a call to free a labor force; it was a direct assault on Pharaoh’s divine claim over their souls. To keep them enslaved was to assert ownership not just of their bodies, but of their destiny. Likewise, the Roman Caesars not only conquered territory; they absorbed worship. Under the Imperial cult, to be a loyal Roman eventually meant offering incense to Caesar as Dominus et Deus; Lord and God. Refusing this act of devotion was treason against the state, and it often meant death.
In both cases, God’s declaration—“Let My people go”—was not just a political demand. It was a spiritual confrontation. It was the Creator reclaiming His image-bearers from systems built by false immortals, parasites of power who could not give life, yet demanded worship to sustain their illusion. These empires were not merely historical phenomena. They were; and are; spiritual mechanisms engineered to enslave the soul.
Jesus captured this tension in one brilliant line: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Matthew 22:21). Coins and taxes might bear Caesar’s image, fine – give those to him. But the human soul bears God’s image; it belongs to God, not Caesar. Christ uncoupled what empires try to merge. He effectively told Rome, “You can have their coins, but you cannot have their souls.”
Empires don’t take such limits kindly. The early Christian martyrs died by the thousands over this very issue – they refused to surrender that which is God’s. In doing so, these martyrs exposed the true nature of empire: beneath the golden eagles and marble temples lurked an insatiable appetite for worship that belongs to God alone.
Hunting Souls and False Paradise: A Prophetic Warning
Through the prophet Ezekiel, God denounced those who “hunt souls” in order to prolong their own lives Ezekiel 13:17-23. This haunting phrase reveals the dark transaction at the heart of false religion and tyranny. In Ezekiel’s context, it was corrupt prophets using magic charms to ensnare people, “slaying souls who should not die, and keeping alive souls who should not live”. But the principle extends to any system where the life of the elite is fueled by the exploitation of the many.
Think of empire as a large-scale soul trap. It offers a false paradise – an Elysium, an empire of glory, a utopian “New Order” – and in exchange, it consumes the souls of its adherents. Roman generals and politicians literally cultivated a mythology that the glory of Rome was worth any sacrifice. The state cult and Emperor worship were, in essence, a soul-harvesting machine: conquered peoples were assimilated not just politically but spiritually, compelled to honor Rome’s gods and lordship.
Meanwhile, behind the veil, those Nephilim spirits – those “mighty ones” of old – gorged on this worship. It’s no coincidence that idolatry and demons are linked in scripture: “The things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God” (1 Corinthians 10:20). In other words, the soul economy of empire is a shell game. The Caesars and Pharaohs receive accolades publicly, but the real collectors are the powers of darkness operating behind them. Every soul bowing at an emperor’s altar is a soul diverted from the living God.
The reward for all this, promised by the hunters of souls, is immortality on their terms. The false prophets in Ezekiel’s day promised their followers life and safety in exchange for compliance; Pharaoh promised security if Israel remained enslaved; Rome promised peace (“Pax Romana”) and citizenship’s privileges if one just pinched incense to Caesar. It is always a conditional promise – your soul, in exchange for a sense of security or glory. Yet God’s verdict on such deals is scathing: “Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt souls… I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go” (Ezk. 13:20-21). In the end, false immortality proves to be no immortality at all. God will free the captives, and the hunters will face the truth that they themselves are mortal.
Christ the Liberator: Plundering Hell and Shattering the False Immortality
When Jesus Christ entered human history, He came not merely as a teacher but as a liberator king storming the strongholds of the enemy. The Gospels depict Jesus as immediately clashing with demonic forces – healing the possessed, breaking curses, even raising the dead. Each miracle was a crack in the walls of the false kingdom. “If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36) was not idle talk; it was cosmic revolution.
On the cross and through the resurrection, Christ accomplished the ultimate Exodus. Just as Moses led Israel out of Egypt, Jesus led souls out of bondage to sin, death, and the devil. Colossians 2:15 says, “Having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” The imagery is that of a victorious champion stripping defeated enemies of their armor – in this case, stripping the false immortals of their stolen authority. No Caesar, no demon, no Nephilim-spirit could hold their prisoners once the Son of God broke the locks from the inside out.
One ancient Christian teaching is the Harrowing of Hell: after His crucifixion, Christ’s soul descended to the realm of the dead (Sheol/Hades) to proclaim victory and release the faithful who had been waiting for redemption. He shattered the gates of bronze (Psalm 107:16) and led forth a train of captives.
It is telling that after the resurrection, the message of the gospel spread like wildfire among the poor, the slaves, and the oppressed of the empire. Those who had been considered disposable fuel for the imperial engine heard for the first time that their souls were of infinite worth, that the true God had died to ransom them. “God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” (1 Cor. 1:27). The elites of Rome scoffed at a crucified Savior, but in that very crucifixion Jesus pulled off the greatest jailbreak in history – He canceled the legal debt that stood against us and nailed it to the cross (Col. 2:14). In doing so, He invalidated the contracts the enemy had on our souls.
The significance here is huge: Christ not only paid for sin – He exposed the lie of false immortality. By rising bodily from the grave, He revealed that true life is found in union with God; available now through Him, not through priests, temples, or Rome; and in the promise of a future resurrection into real immortality. This truth shatters the ideological power of every empire. If Christ has conquered death, then no tyrant can threaten us with it. And if eternal life is a gift from God, then no false god-king can sell us a counterfeit.
The Cosmic Exodus: “Let My People Go” – Now and Forever
The story comes full circle. The voice of God that said “Let My people go” to Pharaoh, and by implication to Caesar, now says it to every force that binds human souls. There is a second Exodus underway – a Cosmic Exodus – where people from all nations are being called out of Babylon (a biblical symbol for the world system of arrogant empire) and into the Kingdom of God. Revelation 18:4 echoes this call: “Come out of her, My people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues.”
What does this mean for us? It means that history is a tale of two cities – the City of God and the city of man. One is built on the self-giving love of Christ, the other on the soul-consuming pride of the Nephilim-spirit. Augustine, in The City of God, described it well: “Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God; the heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self.” Each person must choose allegiance.
The Nephilim project – that scheme of false immortality – continues to shape-shift through eras. In Babylon it promised godhood through a ziggurat tower; in Egypt through the Giza pyramid, in Greece and Rome, through noble lineage and hero cults; in secret societies and occult orders, through hidden knowledge from “ascended masters” (old wine in new skins). But the fate of the Nephilim and all their heirs is sealed: “spirits in prison” awaiting final judgment (1 Peter 3:19, Jude 1:6). No matter how tall their metaphorical towers rise, they cannot ascend to heaven to seize the throne.
And so the word remains: “If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” The true God does not coerce souls – He liberates them. He doesn’t trick people with shining lies – He illuminates them with truth. He breathes His Spirit, the eternal breath, into us, restoring what was lost. Not through the worship of idols or self-styled "Queens of Heaven," nor through staged apparitions by deceptive spirits; demonic distractions meant to draw worship away from Christ and, in doing so, block the soul from ascending to the one true Source: the Almighty Father. These counterfeits don’t lead to heaven; they reroute the soul into spiritual bondage.
Transhumanism and the Quest for a False Eternity
Today, the drive for a false immortality has taken on a new form – not mythic, but technological. The modern heirs of the old Nephilim ideology are not giants in stature; they are giants of Silicon Valley, of biotech labs and global think-tanks, promising that science will deliver what God once did. Transhumanism – the belief that humanity can “upgrade” itself via technology to achieve longevity, super-intelligence, and even immortality – is essentially the Tower of Babel rebuilt with code and silicon.
Transhumanist visionaries openly talk about defeating death. Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Neuralink project, for instance, aims to merge human brains with AI, initially for medical cures, but ultimately to “unlock human potential” and perhaps even cheat mortality. Ray Kurzweil (a leading prophet of techno-optimism) predicts a future where we upload our minds into the cloud, achieving digital “immortality” as software. Wealthy adherents are already taking steps: some pay for their bodies or brains to be cryogenically frozen at death, hoping to be resurrected by future science. Others invest in AI avatars or “griefbots” to virtually preserve their personality after death. It sounds cutting-edge, yet the core promise is ancient: “You will not surely die,” the serpent told Eve in Eden. Today it’s whispered through laboratories and think-tanks: we shall not surely die – we’ll tech our way out of it. This is, as one writer put it, chasing the serpent’s lie.
What underpins this new false gospel is the same old soul-economy in updated attire. Data is the new currency of soul-harvesting – our thoughts, behaviors, even our biological information are being captured (one might say captured souls in a sense) by global networks. The dream sold is that if we just surrender enough – our privacy, our innermost data – the collective will usher us into a transhuman utopia. It is a Faustian bargain: give Big Tech your soul (data), and it will give you eternal life (digital consciousness). Like all of empire’s promises, it comes with fine print. In exchange for the hope of digital eternity, one yields tremendous control to those who run the algorithms. A world where human consciousness can be simulated or stored is also a world where it can be edited, copied, or erased – essentially owned by someone. The image of God becomes a file, subject to terms and conditions.
Even secular thinkers see something quasi-religious afoot. Journalist Meghan O’Gieblyn, surveying the tech landscape, noted that “all these efforts – from the early Christian alchemists to the luminaries of Silicon Valley – amounted to a singular historical quest… to quantify the soul and then free it from mortal flesh.” Modern technology, she observes, is repackaging age-old esoteric goals. Today’s AI-and-genetics visionaries echo the alchemists’ dream of an elixir of life and the occult promise of apotheosis (becoming gods). It’s man’s attempt to seize the divine attribute of immortality on his own terms.
But just as in Babel, God will not let this reach its worst fruition. “Transhumanism is a form of utopianism – the belief that humans can create a heaven on earth,” one commentator writes, noting that God has set limits that we cannot cross. We may extend life, augment bodies, cure diseases (all good things in themselves), but the abolition of death and the manufacture of eternal life are God’s prerogatives alone. Every Tower of Babel – whether brick or digital – meets the same fate. The Almighty looks at the arrogant work of our hands and confounds it. Not out of malice, but out of mercy – lest in achieving a “post-human” false immortality, we lose the very essence of our humanity. Jesus warned, “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” (Mark 8:36). We could paraphrase for our context: What will it profit us if we gain an AI-enhanced, never-ending existence, but in the process forfeit the human soul – surrendering our breath from God to become mere machine?
And indeed, transhumanism’s gospel is already faltering. It promises eternal life without addressing the cause of death – which the Bible says is sin (moral and spiritual death). It offers a kind of eternal existence, but existence is not life. A digitized mind, even if possible, would be but a ghost in a shell *(see movie below) an echo of consciousness without the true breath of God. Philosophers point out the paradox: digital immortality could turn out to be eternal stagnation, not the vibrant life we crave. Like Virgil’s pale shades in Elysium, a copy of your mind running on a server might have memory and intellect, but would it have being? Would it have the joy of the Almighty, the love that gives meaning? Or would it be an immortal wraith, shining perhaps with technological glory but devoid of God’s presence – “not all who shine are alive.”

Not All That Glitters Is Life
What The Aeneid celebrates and what Scripture warns against turn out to be facets of the same truth.There are beings that have moved through history, cloaked in borrowed glory, claiming a form of immortality—whether as demon kings or recycled, deified emperors; offering us eternal life, but only if we bow down and worship them. They may glitter with power and knowledge. They may dazzle us with promises of glory, utopia, and life unending. But not all that shines is Light.
Jesus said of the devil, “He was a murderer from the beginning… for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). It murders by separating people from the true source of life, and it lies by offering a fake version of eternity. Pharaoh in all his splendor was reduced to a drowned corpse. Caesar’s monuments are ruins and his soul has long since met its Maker. The Nephilim themselves, despite their giant stature, died in the Flood. And what of modern false immortals? However high-tech the tower, it will crumble. “You shall die as men,” says the psalmist of the mighty ones who judge unjustly, “and fall like any prince” (Psalm 82:6-7).
But in Christ, the true Son of God, we find the real thing that all these counterfeits ape. “This is eternal life,” Jesus prayed, “that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3). Eternal life is knowing God – The irony is almost painful: the very thing the soul-hunters try to steal, God is freely offering. “Come to Me,” Jesus says, “and I will give you rest… Learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29). No empire, no tech billionaire, no demigod can speak like that.
So the call to action for us is surprisingly simple and profound: Give to God what is God’s. That means your soul, your allegiance, your love – for these bear His image and belong to Him. Refuse the mark of false gods (whether it’s literal idol worship or the subtle idolatries of our age). Refuse to bow to the Pharaohs and Caesars who say your value is only in serving their glory. Your value is infinite, because God’s breath is in you.
The Nephilim Project – this ageless scheme to farm human souls – ultimately fails in the face of the Gospel Project, God’s plan to save and ennoble human souls. In the end, the Book of Revelation shows the collapse of “Babylon the Great” (the final embodiment of this rebellious system) and the descent of the New Jerusalem, where God lives with humanity forever. There, in that city of light, “they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. And there shall be no more night… For the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever” (Rev. 22:4-5).
That is true immortality: not circling endlessly in Elysium’s half-life, not wandering as a hungry ghost, not uploading to a server, and not basking in the temporary fame of an empire – but living face-to-face with God, in the full blaze of His Life-Light, world without end.
And so we end where we began: “Let My people go.” The plea and command of God has echoed through history and now lands at the doorstep of every oppressive system and every human heart. May we each have ears to hear and hearts to respond – coming out of false lights into the marvelous light of Christ. Because even among the stars and the Silicon dreams, not all who shine are truly alive.
