Yes, according to Ellen White's writings, there were giants. She references both the biblical accounts and her own visions to affirm their existence:
- The spies sent to Canaan reported: “All the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 388.4)
- She describes a “long-lived race that existed before the flood; men of lofty stature and giant intellect,” who contributed to the wickedness that led to the Flood (The Great Controversy, p. 664.1; The Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 4, p. 478.1).
- The story of David and Goliath is also cited, with Goliath described as a Philistine giant of great height and strength (Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 646.2, 648.2).
- In the conquest of Canaan, the Israelites encountered “giants, in comparison with whom the Hebrews were mere pygmies” (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 436.3).
These references confirm that Ellen White affirmed the existence of giants in both antediluvian (before the Flood) and postdiluvian (after the Flood) times.
