Nimrod theory so popular, poor Asshur he gets totally fogotten about, but he is also an ancientmost post-flood found of civilziation and the earliest cities
and really an empire that though they didn't conquer the whole world, they were the first superpower
the first proper empire
Notice the word “before” in "He was a might hunter before the LORD." The word literally means "face"—that which is in the front and which appears to another, as in “face to face.” Nimrod was a mighty hunter facing the Lord. The word before literally means "that which turns." It has a wide variety of usages. It can be translated “facing,” “before,” “in front of,” or “against.”
“Against” is the correct translation here, according to the context. He was a mighty hunter against the Lord. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord in the sense of fighting against Him. You do not turn your back on your enemy. You face him, and he faces you.
sir walter raleigh tried to find Nineveh but failed
Nimrod was against God; he was facing the Lord in battle, in antagonism rather than in submission. That is shown in the context by his conquests. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel. There is more here than meets the eye. He conquered Babel. He conquered Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar. He was bringing what were probably city-states under his control and forming them into one nation. Nowhere did God give the right to dominion over other men by conquering them, and that was what Nimrod did.
just dig into the MEANING of the NAMES of those citiesw
its almost what is written on the one ring in lord of the rings lol
yea the word means he was a mighty hunter in the sight of the Lord, this verse inconvenient for the later medieval Nimrod theories because it implies Nimrod may have had some favor to God
to confuse and bring together and bind
he was the first KANG man haha
which wouldn't terribly unusual considerring Nebuchadnezzar the first beast king and overlord of Babylon and its mightiest king ever was also favored by God
Nimrod isn't the first king
they always forget about Asshur
and then of course the other grandson generations, the Patriarchs of all the ancient races
it's even hard to say if Nimrod is first idolator or first whom alter generations made an idol because Asshur's descendants did this also with certainty, naming their false deities literally Asher and Asherah
KANG, not king
well even for the kangz
dude he is the GRANDSON of ham
ham > kush > nimrod
there could ONLY be a kang before him who would be kush if kush even became a kang
and Mizraim's greek name is still the name of his land
they didnt spread out till peleg
about the time they wre born
so its not like bam the second mizraim comes along he goes to egypt lol
didnt happen that way
this is when the grandson generations would be adults
his descendants did become them etc
there was couple million ppl mostly likey by time they spread out from babel
tower of Babel happens, the grandsons go their quarters of the earth given them inheritance by their race, family, and tongues
thus many of the ancient nations/races and places bear their names
and ancient pagan pantheons too
anyways i need to rest haha
