the Bible never said that Nimrod was a ‘sinner’… evangelical silliness it is Col!
on the contrary:
Genesis 10:9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD
the idea that Nimrod was ‘bad’ comes from the Talmud…
The author admits speculation in regard to the beveled pots, “Now, it’s possible we’re reading more into the evidence than is truly there.” It would have been nice to have had similar admission regarding their statement that Nimrod was influenced by Enki to build the tower.
I was intrigued to read elsewhere that Jewish historian Josephus said Nimrod’s motivation to build the tower was to escape any future flood. Intriguing, but that, too, is an extra-biblical text.
Instead of:
“The sin of Nimrod is being repeated today by the globalist movement, which is slowly but surely leading us back to Babel”
I would have concluded with:
“The sinful nature of mankind is being repeated today by the globalist elitists, who are surely leading us back to Babel.”
(Not that I would not have written such an article in the first place.)
When speaking with others, I frequently use the phrase, “Return to Babel” and events in Genesis 11, to elucidate the trajectory of world affairs as I see them through my biblical worldview eyeglasses.
- Genesis 11:6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
To watch end times being ushered in by means of technology has been mind-blowing, to say the least. Starting with the advent of gunpowder and printing press, the pace of technology man has imagined seems completely unrestrained.
The internet, the cloud, 5G, AI, robots, drones, cameras, satellites, weather control, mind control, vaccines, GMO, nanotechnology, transhumanism …to name a few of the ones we know about.
- Genesis 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
God established the nations. He sets up rulers and takes them down. The Great Tribulation must happen, so destruction/control of the nations is necessary.
I sometimes mention this in the same conversation:
- Genesis 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
For those who have flown on a jet, when the door is closed, it is not only heard, but unmistakably felt; it vibrates throughout the airframe. No more passengers on the plane; just like no more people on the ark.
It is a binary world; one way to salvation. Then in the ark, today in salvation through Christ. Both are God’s ways, not man’s ways. God will save that last believer; we don’t know when and where. But He will not preserve the nations as they are today. We must first return to Babel in our rebellion.
