Nimrod; Satan’s first Antichrist…

Genesis 10:8-11, “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

The Word of God is very adamant when it comes to preparing God’s Elect for the coming end times tribulations. One such case is the story of Nimrod the “mighty hunter,” who was the mastermind behind the building of the Tower of Babel and the establishment of the Babylonian Empire. Nimrod was the first recorded individual to establish a universal kingdom, with man made false doctrine to turn many people away from Jehovah God. In His pride much like Satan when He was Lucifer in Heaven, He was lifted up due to His own greatness and accomplishments as read in Ezekiel 28:15-16,” Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.” Though Nimrod was a very powerful ruler who tried to build a Tower into Heaven, God ultimately intervened and caused distortion among His followers giving them different tongues in which they would speak in Genesis 11:5-8. Satan’s plan at this time did not work as in the case of other Antichrist throughout time ( Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Napoleon, and many others) He finally will in one man and His number is 666 The Beast. The Beast will establish a great empire of every major super power government, to control the people and have them take His mark (way of thinking) Revelation 13:16-18, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Rest assure that like in every other Antichrist, The Beast will not succeed for the Lord Jesus Christ will intervene to due battle with the Antichrist, and to save God’s true elect from much death and hardships (Revelation 1:14-18). Take heed and preparation in studying the Word of God the Holy Bible, which in many cases proclaims the end times events with the greatest of all being the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ (Revelations 1:13-18). Pay attention to the signs, and keep your Faith securely in The Cross of Christ. Shalom…
