We used to call people, 'Nimrod ' as an insult when we were kids, absolutely no idea where it's use originated. It wasn't until many years later, I learned Nimrod was a person in the Bible, and responsible for building the Tower of Babel. Also, 'Nimrod ' was a early warning aircraft used by the RAF.

Imagine being a badass in your society only for generations thousands of years later only vaguely knowing you because mentioning your name is synominous with calling a person " Dumass".

Bugs Bunny refers to Elmer Fudd as “Nimrod” sometimes! A biblical hunting reference. “Hey, Nimrod” ~ Bugs Bunny

He took the fight to his god. Thus Spoke Nimrod... "Come at me bro!"

In Hebrew, "Nimrod" means "we will rebel."

''Nimrod was a mighty warrior and hunter''... and a great album 👍

Nimrod: I just wanted a Big-ass tower

The snake in the garden is the first bad boy. Then Cain then Nimrod.

Either way he was taking a stance against God. If he built the tower as flood insurance, he was still saying he didn't trust God or respect God's promise to not flood the earth again.

I grew up with the version of Nimrod was trying to build a tower to reach God and God was like" Well that's not happening" so he confused the languages so they'd have to stop building But the version of building a tower so high that God can't flood and kill everyone again also makes sense

Nimrod according to Islam is one of the four rulers who have the largest kingdom in the world. Nimrod was given the privilege of God, that is, he never felt sick, and never sneezed even once. Nimrod was an illegitimate child and he married his own mother. Nimrod claimed to be a god, but was denied by a prophet that Nimrod was not a god, instead there was only one god and he was in the sky. due to being challenged by the prophet's claims, nimrod built the tower of babel. intended to kill the god that the prophet believed in and then declared that there was no other god but Nimrod. nimrod climbed the tower of babel and carried arrows dipped in the blood of eagles. after reaching the top floor of the tower of babel, nimrod shot an arrow as if he killed god. then the arrow soaked in the eagle's blood was shown to his people and claimed that he had killed the god that the prophet believed in, then declared that he was the only god that existed now. due to the arrogance, misguidance of Nimrod who claimed to kill God and claimed to be God, God showed the true power of God by sending only a mosquito that entered his head through the ear hole and killed Nimrod. and thus ends the history of a man who had a great kingdom, but became arrogant and misguided by admitting himself to be a god.

“Come at at me bro!” God: You’re Chinese now “什么?”

Thank you for telling us about this Bible character. The art was amazing!

And at this moment he knew he f*ckedup

Interesting fact: If u read time keeper by Mitch albom the character that commands the people to build the tower of Babel is named Nim while the character that refuses to help Nim is Dor

I heard some archaeologist say he was a real Summerian king named Enmerkar. The name Nimrod is supposedly some kind of insult in Hebrew, a play on words implying he was a foolish rebel or something.

God had to confuse the language of Nimrod and all the other people that were being told to build the tower

Nimrod wasn’t white by the way also he was a Hamite(which literally translates to the dark skinned race).

Nimrod was a Black King..

And he was my ancestor/forebearer I’m a Cushite/Kushite specifically a Somali 💯

If Nimrod wasn't a mighty warrior rebel we all would be speaking the same language

either he was a thoughtful ruler who wanted to ensure the safety of his people and possibly everyone else on earth or he runs to run fades with God either or he sounds like a absolute legend

name Nimrod sounds like the word “Rebel” in hebrew

Hunter in the Bible can be describe as someone after human souls, like a warlord on bloodbath. Human slavery and human sacrifices were rampant and this is true where it is recorded throughout human history.

Nimrod was described as mighty but definitely not noble. Hunter of souls. The first Antichrist. A tangible manifestation of man's hubris and pride brought low by the most high ✝️.

The dec 25 Christmas. Celebrating

The Father of Babylon

The artist is the winner here. We don't really know what happened but that facial sketch said tons!🤣🤣😪🤣

The epics of Gilgamesh

Imagine my surprise when tracing my family history I learn my fourth great grandfathers name is Nimrod and that he was Native American who escaped from the trail of tears.

It wasn't a tower, but, it may have been able to reach the heavens. "Nothing will be impossible for them now."

I already thought “nimrod” is another word for “idiot”. I didn’t think it had an origin

Nimrod wanted to take his armies up to heaven kill the Most High and replace Him with Babylonian God's and himself, the insult of calling someone a nimrod is obvious as he was a bloody dunce cap to think he could do anything but irritate Yahweh. Most don't know Nimrod was beheaded by Esau, he rushed him as he hunted with two guardsmen who also were beheaded. Esau stole his raiment as well.

"Fierce and Noble"...rarely can you find any character having both.

Those expressions tho.. lol.. Fun fact: nimrod is known as Ravan in Hindu mythology.

Technically, it was a space port. That’s what Marduk, youngest son of Ea Enki son of Anu. Half brother to El Enil. Sumerian cuneiform text. Ancient astronaut theory.

Now, how did "Nimrod" become a way to call someone an idiot? I need THAT short.

Matthew 25:1-13 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,read more. but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour Source: bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Being-Prepared

You have to unpack what Genesis meant, when it referred to him as "a mighty Hunter before the Lord" the context was antagonistic, Nimrod represented the first organized world system under God hence the development of the Tower of Babel

We are ruled by Nimrods

Nimrod and Gilgamesh are the same person

He was triffling

The remains of that Tower is in Tibet, it's Mount Kailash, the remaining ziggurat pyramid base of the tower. Uniquely it's arguably the starting point of a lot of Eastern religions and is still relevant today.

This is the guy who's birthday you are really celebrating with that evergreen tree on December 25th. The Roman , Greeks and Persians were throwing parties on this day centuries before Jesus ever lived.

Grandson of ham ...lol so who's the white guy hahahaha

Nimrod preserved his body under one of the ancient rivers, now that it's drying up, one of the countries found his body and his clone with reappear soon in Mystery Babylon 😳.

Not even gonna lie. Nimrod sounds like the name of the evil version of gigachad... Get destroyed by his alpha beauty...😂😂

"Bad to the bone" start playing.

Nimrod is still worshipped till this day through our annual celebration of winter solstice aka xmas. Whenever you partake in Xmas you are worshiping Nimrod. Whenever you put presents under the evergreen tree you are leaving gifts for him. A practice started by our Lady Goddess Semiramis

Nimrod was delusional.

The Tower of Babel and Shinar is where the God brought the confusion of languages. Genesis 11:1-9 Genesis 11 New King James Version The Tower of Babel 11 Now the whole earth had one language and one [a]speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and [b]bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called [c]Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth Nimrod is the Father of Babylon which is most of the modern day Christian Churches in the west. (Evangelical included)Even some Pentecostal Churches have this kind of error in their biblical interpretation. Mixing worldly ideals and values with Jesus bring a compromise of our Faith and many breaches where the Devil comes to influence the modern day Churches. The devil was a thief from the beginning. He is the father of lies. Modern day Christianity has a mixture of Sinai (Mosaic misinterpretations) and Grace based Zion Beliefs which end up compromising our Faith in Jesus Christ. Self righteousness mixed with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit do not necessarily indicate you are a real Christian believer….

Nimrod became so bold, he took complete leave of his senses. Resolving to somehow eclipse the inestimable nature and majesty of ‘the all that is’ by defiantly exhorting his minions to construct an imposing, multi-level, bustling retail precinct.

His grandfather was Noah and he also acquired the garments God made Adam and eve. He put them on and it made him very strong.

Nimrod was the first major dictator in human history. He would not be the only dictator.

The original Stargazer

Nimrod was also the first Anti-Christ and he also married his mother Semiramis and had a son called Tammuz and was also a giant son of a human mother and Angel father. To this day Nimrod's birthday of December 25th is celebrated as Christ's birthday.

Isn't that a Green Day album? Or is it just on the cover over all the faces in the yearbook?

I saw Nimrod in a Presbyterian Church even as a former Church Planter.

One interpretation I noticed is that given Nimrod is originally referred to as a mighty hunter before God, I wonder if his building the tower was a case of Nimrod assuming that he knew God’s will and felt it was his God Given destiny to have an empire that not only encompasses the known world but Heaven. It’s easy to forget that while the Bible warns against rebels of God it does also warn against false prophets who use the will of God to justify tyranny and corruption. A through line that even appeared in the Flood story as Noah takes it upon himself without consulting God to curse his son Ham(who’s family tree Nimrod is from) and ended up creating the conflict between Ham and his older brothers that would soon escalate into the conflicts with the Race of Canaan. And of course a theme that appears in the New Testament with the Pharisees and Harod who were hypocrites that abused their power on those they deemed sinners and lower than themselves

The tower of babel may have been a particle accelerator/collidor. There is nothing new under the sun.

Nimrod a real real real badman lol. He would be praised in Jamaica lol

I was taught that after the tower was finished someone shot an arrow straight up into the sky from the very top and God didn't like that so he said that there will be many languages not just the one language that everyone spoke at the time and that's why we have so many different languages throughout the world and how it got it's name "The Tower of Babble"

“Hah look at that nimrod”

Growing up my mom wouldn't let my sister and I use "Nimrod" as an insult because Nimrod was a great man in the Bible lol

People always confuse my surname with Nimrod lmao

Having grown up going to a private Christian school (Pre-K thru 12th), I was taught the "less common idea" spoken of in this video. In fact, I had never heard any alternate ideas about WHY the great tower was errected, save the lessons I received from my schools and churches, all of which were the following the same ideology (btw, Presbyterian and later, Assemby of God ideologies being represented in this post). First, the Tower of Babel was built to escape a potential "Second Great Flood"? Honestly, I'd NEVER heard of this until TODAY, when I watched this video. I was taught - with all the fervor of an umchallenged doctrine - that the tower of Babel was erected in order to reach the heavens, and thus, man would be on the level with God Himself. 2nd, as I'd never actually heard about the tower being used to escape the 2nd great flood (until I saw this video yesterday), there had to be an alternative answer to WHY was I taught that? Well, why? Unfortunately, I'm not sure. However, second, I would guess it has to do with the fact that, as I was taught, God sent a rainbow after the 1st flood as a promise to mankind that he would never again subject the world to such a blanket judgment and extermination. [In fact, for anyone curious to hear, that rainbow sent by God after the Great Flood,was the FIRST rainbow. Ever. And every subsequent rainbow seen by man, all the way up until present day, was meant to reinforce God's original promise to never exterminate mankind in such a way.] Anyway... How could there ever be a 2nd flood if God promised after the 1st that there would never be one . I guess God isn't allowed to change his mind. Seems a pretty good reason. I learn new things, virtually weekly, that contradicts what i was taught as a very sheltered, very timid young child, and many of the lessons fry childhood pop up at the most random times. Im often stumned (not so much anymore) that other people learned other things! I grew up in a was a very close-knit community that did not warmly tolerate dissent from their books and their "meaning" for things, as a learned in my later years of high school, when i would naively question ideologies id be taught with alternate ideas, those not "approved" of according to my education. But I digress. The things listed here are certainly not claimed at false. I just wanted to offer my singular experience (and subsequent memories) as a representation of what i would have considered damn near heretical in my community. If anyone was interested. So, all ive said here is simply what *I* was taught in my private Christian schools, all the way through high school - and believe me, it sticks with you LONG after graduation. Take it as merely a different spin on Biblical understanding and meaning. And for God's sake, do NOT force whatever YOUR views are on OTHER people. That's where you get indoctrination, which is a very Powerful tool for leaders to weird. I would know. I learn new thing - particularly about the Bible and Christianity - nearly EVERY day. Its odd to think. I'm 40 years old now, and that shit STILL STICKS. Reader beware.

I've also read/heard that the people building and living on the tower were so corrupt and wicked that God scattered them. As in doing nasty things and being immoral.

The original pagan

Wow, this is exactly what us people do, We fight against our creator... Even in our rebellion... He loved us and offers a new start and a beautiful everlasting life through Christ... Don't be against him.. Take his Gift before the Gates are closed

Depiction doesn't look lime a Chushite!

lol even when it's a hamite from the line of cush you draw him as white

👉 THE GREAT FLOOD OF NOAH WAS 2243 BC. NIMROD WAS BORN IN 1991 BC AND DIED IN 1776 BC WHEN ESAU KILLED HIM. IT IS SAID THAT HE OWNED ADAM'S GARMENTS GIVEN TO HIM BY KUSH HIS FATHER AND IT GAVE HIM POWERS. ESAU TOOK ADAM'S GARMENT FROM NIMROD.

Because he knew the God he was going after is of flesh and blood

So sad how mankind never learns to stop rebelling against God YAHWEH. The best thing we can ever do is to OBEY and LOVE Him. Amen.

Such amazing illustrations you got there!

Nimrod = Gilgamesh Noah was his grandfather, and he based his Flood myth around his grandpa Noah, making himself as the protagonist

Now we use Nimrod as a word that means fool or idiot

And now we have sky scrapers so either god abandoned us or nimrod was punished for no reason

נפילים (nepilim gahent ) ענקים היו אז בארץ ( בזמן קיין in taim of kahin ) היראו כי נשות (wemns of adam ) והאדם כי יפות הן ויקחו להם נשים ויולדו להם אנשי ( king of nams fimus ) שם saragon king .. marduh and nemrod king of bashan .....

God told the world he’d only use water once and that next it would be fire and brimstone

He was then ironically killed by a gnat, of all things 🤣.

According to the Bible nimrod was from kush. Today that area is called Ethiopia. Nimrod was black according to the Bible sir. Fix the picture

The tower if Bible was a metaphorical tower meant to represent a few men trying to play the role of God. This is happening again today, with very few people building a "structure" designed to put them on top of everyone else.

Speech confounded.

The Info is in the bible. Why is he always depicted as something other than a BLACK AFRICAN?

God: floods earth Nimrod: challenges literal god God: >:(

Don't mess with a God who can call upon the inhabitants of the sky to destroy an unfinished tower and scattered the inhabitants after confusing their languages.

Nimrod tried to be like Jannes and Jambres

The name Nimrod comes from hebrew- Merida: revolt/rebellion.

Nimrod was from Ethiopia which makes him black. Also Nimrod was the great grandson of Noah and yes he built the tower of Babel by the Euphrates river somewhere in lower Iraq. In the land of Mesopotamia. He started the Babylonian Empire. Nimrod stole Adam's garments and became a powerful warrior. The Bible speaks of theBook of Jasher so I read it.👍🏼

Yes. Nimrod in Hebrew is a rebel. parents used to name their kids after this guy in the '80s. Not anymore

The Bible still called him a mighty man and noble hunter..... In my perspective his God was finally challenged by a man..... I want to believe his God still love him still...

Nimrod was known as "The Hunter of Men!" and there are indications that he was a descendant of the Giants--not as tall but bigger than the average human non the less!

look at the Vatican from top view to unlock ur prison door Peace and Grace brother

He was the worlds first Incredible Hulk after the flood

Never thought of it like that

How is he a "bad boy" when his only crime is uniting the people against a God that just committed a global genocide?

He's the reason why the world was divided.

The Tower of Babel was a Ziggurat, the Ziggurats were built as platforms for the gods. What made the Tower of Babel so bad is they built it out of pride, as to say “God, look at this great achievement we have made, we deserve your power!”

Do one on baddie from the Bible, Jezebel! You know you're bad when a ww2 missile is named after you!
