(ESV)
Num 21:31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Num 21:32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
Num 21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Num 21:34 But the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
Num 21:35 So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.
Why would the Israelites fear Og, especially after defeating King Sihon of the Amorites? It is because Og was a giant, a Nephilim, a man of re-known, as described in Genesis 6. Og was half-human and half fallen "angel". I placed "angel" in quotes because some scholars say the divine but fallen beings that mated with human women were Angels and some say fallen members of the Divine Council of Yehovah - beings of a different and higher order.
Either way, once Og was killed his human side died with no more sentient existence and what was left over, his supernatural "spirit", was left to roam the earth. See how this plays into our study? The leftover spiritual existence of the union of humans and fallen ones are what we call Demons and they influence man in terrible ways. The Divine beings mentioned in Enoch 1 who descended to Mt. Hermon and mated with the women in the first place are in the Abyss, awaiting their judgement. Their imprisonment is a holding place for their ultimate judgement. These immortal beings will one day end up in the Lake of Fire. Unfortunately, we have to deal with their spiritual demonic offspring!
Did you ever wonder why some people go nuts and kill innocent people, sometimes babies and even pregnant Mothers? Are they being influenced by Demons? Are Muslim terrorists, for example, possessed by Demons? It makes one wonder, doesn't it?
This demonic influence can be seen in Ch. 25 of Numbers, as well. The Israelites began to worship Baal. The word "baal" simply means "master", but was the actual Baal a fallen one, a former member of Yehovah's divine council? Many people were killed at this point in the text but again, no mention of an afterlife.
The same kind of story continues in Ch. 31 with the Midianites.
An atheist once told me that the God of the Bible was a genocidal maniac for having the Israelites kill every man, woman, and child and even their animals as they made their way through the land they were to possess. I told the fellow about the influence of the fallen ones and the demonic activity before and after the Flood. I told him how even the animals were abused and all sorts of demonic hybrids were formed. I explained to him how all of this activity would have brought destruction to the whole of mankind again if God did not intervene. He, of course, said you have to be a believer to accept all of that and I told him; "Exactly! That is my point". (the opposite being that one accepts the horrendous behavior as normal - just examine leftist politics and what they push as "normal")
Yehovah-Yeshua was actually doing these people a favor by ridding them of demonic influence. How will the humans side of these folks be judged? Well, that's up to Yeshua!
I can only speak for myself, but I would wish to be dead before being possessed by a demon and I pray to Yehovah-Yeshua for mine and my families continued protection!

P.S. - Folks have always wondered how Nephilim were on the earth after the flood because the biblical record indicates all died except for a total of eight people, Noah and family, of course; although the Bible does say they were present before and after the flood (Genesis 6:4).The biblical record is unclear concerning the "how" (at least to me) but I've heard speculations from others such as:
1. A second incursion of Fallen beings occurred.
or ...
2. The wives of Noah's sons had genetics which carried the Giantism forward.
or ...
3. Somehow the Demonic Spirits of the Fallen Nephilim of antediluvian times had something to do with it.
Anyway, we may never know the real answer until the Millennium but it's interesting to speculate.

What an insight, Mr. Tiger! Are muslims possessed by demons? That explains a great deal of the muslim culture which prefers death and perversions to life and righteousness. May Our Father in Heaven protect all of us from demons, Amen1
Hi Lady Hawk!
Christians and Jews don't stop to realize we worship a supernatural God. So, supernatural beings exist and influence man. Yehovah intended to keep the natural and supernatural separate after the "fall" but Satan wouldn't leave well enough alone.
Are some Muslims possessed by demons? I would say, yes! Do demons influence and possess people from all ethnic and religious groups? I would say yes!
Strange isn't it, how people will believe in "Ancient Aliens" and that sort of thing but will not believe in supernatural beings from "outer space" created by God Himself? They always want to leave God out of the picture, but doing that ultimately ends up with an abundance of evil.
