Who was Nimrod ?

[Apple Sky]

King James Bible
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.


According to Gary Wayne in his book 'The Genesis 6 conspiracy' Nimrod was the one who had the Tower of Babel built & the book 'The legend of the Jews' also states that Nimrod was the one who had the tower of Babel built.

What is so important about Nimrod? Quite simply, Nimrod was the most influential and infamous individual in the early postdiluvian epoch, and his historic ripples are felt to this day. Nimrod was the son of Cush, son of Ham. In all likelihood, Nimrod was born within seventy years of the flood, since the Tower of Babel was built 101 years after the flood.1 He was one of the few post-deluge pioneers told first-hand accounts about the epoch before the flood from his grandfather, Ham. This, then, poses the inevitable questions: Did the antediluvian world corrupted by the Nephilim horrify or intrigue Nimrod?

Was Nimrod a king ?
Did Nimrod have the tower of Babel built ?
Does Freemasonry of today stem from Nimrod ?
Have they found Nimrods body preserved & in tact along with all his crown & Jewels ?
Was the land of Shinar (which today is called Iraq) where Nimrod reigned ?
Did Nimrod inherit this special skin that God gave to Adam before his expulsion from Eden ?

I would say yes to all these questions, what do you guys think ?

Well, I just posted some links on your other Nimrod thread.

Rob Skiba had a lot to say about Nimrod.

Gods Word is silent on all of those questions. Nimrod is mentioned in just 4 verses. Here are the first 2:

“8 Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."” (Ge 10:8-9 NKJV)

The third, 1 Chronicles 1:10, is an exact repeat of Genesis 10:8. The fourth, Micah 5:6, mentions merely the land of Nimrod.

My view is that God has told us all that He wants us to know about Nimrod.

Nimrod is also mentioned in 'The Book of Jasher' chapter 7 it also reads;

For after the death of Adam and his wife, the garments were given to Enoch, the son of Jared, and when Enoch was taken up to God, he gave them to Methuselah, his son.
And at the death of Methuselah, Noah took them and brought them to the ark, and they were with him until he went out of the ark.
And in their going out, Ham stole those garments from Noah his father, and he took them and hid them from his brothers.
And when Ham begat his first born Cush, he gave him the garments in secret, and they were with Cush many days.
And Cush also concealed them from his sons and brothers, and when Cush had begotten Nimrod, he gave him those garments through his love for him, and Nimrod grew up, and when he was twenty years old he put on those garments.
And Nimrod became strong when he put on the garments, and God gave him might and strength, and he was a mighty hunter in the earth, yea, he was a mighty hunter in the field, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he offered upon them the animals before the Lord.

The Book of Jasher is mentioned in the Bible twice;

Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
(KJV DBY WBS)

2 Samuel 1:18
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

Yes, Nimrod is mentioned in the Book of Jasher, and the Book of Jasher is mentioned in the bible. However, the Book of Jasher is not part of the bible.

While the books that are considered part of the Bible are the most well-known and widely read Christian texts, there are many other ancient texts that were once considered sacred by early Christian communities. These "lost" books of the Bible offer valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians, and they provide important context for understanding the development of Christian theology and scripture.

Rob taught that Nimrod was the first Anti-Christ, and would also be the last Anti-Christ.

By Book of Jasher are you referring to the medieval work of Jewish midrash known as the Sefer ha-Yashar? The 18th century forgery by Jacob Ilive? Or the lost work which nobody knows what's in it?

Certainly not the first two. I am referring to the Book of Jasher that is mentioned twice in the bible:

“So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. [Is] this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go [down] for about a whole day.” (Jos 10:13 NKJV)

“and he told [them] to teach the children of Judah [the Song of] the Bow; indeed [it is] written in the Book of Jasher:” (2Sa 1:18 NKJV)

But this book no longer exists, there are no fragments, no manuscripts, no copies--nothing at our disposal. Our only knowledge of Jasher is what we read in the Bible itself.

So outside of what is written in the Bible about the book of Jasher nobody knows anything about its contents.

As far as it comes to the biblical figure of Nimrod, there is an abundance of quack ideas which abound about Nimrod--things the Bible never mentions, a lot of things which were actually made up recently (such as by Alexander Hislop in the 1800s in his ridiculous work titled The Two Babylons). We should avoid such wide-eyed quacky speculations, because they are ultimately meaningless, they are fictions which when believed result in all manner of wacky beliefs and fringe doctrines which no Christian should entertain.

I fully agree. The fact that the Book of Jasher, though mentioned in the bible, is not itself a biblical book was what I was contending for in my posts on this thread.

They found nimrod in Iraq

That's a vague statement. Do you think you could elaborate? Like, who are "they"?
