Quest for Immortality - Nimrod the Rebel

[suzanneszarai]

What a propaganda...

[Klaudiosable]

Interesting, I read about an article that states Nimrod is Gilgamesh, In the epic of Gilgamesh, the hero goes for a quest for immortality. Nimrod builds Erech, Gilgamesh is the king of Uruk, Nimrod's father is Cush, Kish is one of Gilgamesh's city.

The epic was also famous because Gilgamesh meets Outnapishtim, the survivor of the flood. He also goes into a forest in Lebanon where man has been banished (Eden?) to fight Huwawa (Yhvh?) the one that brought the flood.

Peace

People can't seem to get it through their thick heads. Ham was the father of the negroid race, therefore is descendants were negroid, that includes Nimrod.

[tricey2300]

So I guess you could say all peoples including sodom and gomorrah the canaanites and also our people the black people came from the cursed son. I think some other people came from him too i'm not sure.

[tricey2300]

Nimrod was a black man also.

[markmcgee4]

How do you know his race? And when did the races change from the one race of Adam?

[tricey2300]

@markmcgee4 Adam was before the flood if u read the bible carefully. Ok noah and his three sons and his son shem is the one who had cush and cush was the father of nimrod. cush is the ancient name for ethopia. and we also know that shem was called canaan and noah cursed canaan because when noah got drunk and got naked, canaan looked at his father's nakedness laughed and went and told his two brothers outside. but his brothers walked in backwards covering their faces.

But Nimrod does not mean rebel. Nimr is Babylonian for leopard referring to it's spotted coat (it's still used for the Arabian leopard ) and Nimrod was 'a mighty hunter and subduer of leopards' whose priests wore leopard skins as a symbol of office and later spotted fallow deer skins - Hence he is carrying a fallow deer fawn .

[markmcgee4]

Nimrod does mean "to rebel" in Hebrew. The name comes from a Semitic root meaning "to rebel." Nimrod was named by his father prior to leaving the mountains of Ararat for the plains of Shinar to build the Tower of Babel.

[THEBADASSOROMO]

nice video, hopefully some crazy people out there who are claiming left and right to be Cushites, well sorry "but only those who descend from (M78) are actually Hamites/Cushites.

also there some lunatic middle easterners claiming Mesopotamia as a Semitic civilization, when In fact their own holy book tell them otherwise.

[THEBADASSOROMO]

Noah had one son, so It's nonsense for you to say Noah's had three son's.

Nimrod Is my kinda person "after all he was the son of Cush and he was becoming to powerful" so out of fear (GOD) did everything to destroy him and yet he continue to rebel against ( GOD), wow that's amazing, well good thing Is that history does repeat , once again the children of (Cush) well rule the world and lets see what ( GOD) gonna do about It.

[markmcgee4]

The Bible says Noah had three sons. What authentic ancient document are you using to say he had only one son?

[THEBADASSOROMO]

@markmcgee4 ,

Noah was an Ethiopian and Ethiopians are ( E-Y-DNA) , Shem who fathered the Semites and Semites are ( J-Y-DNA ) do you get It now? btw I don't know what Japeth haplogroup Is, any Idea?

[jadedrac0]

@THEBADASSOROMO blessed are those who trust in God. Cursed are those who trust in man.

[Shortyjored88]

Ironically it was Nimrod who led the world at that time to built the Tower of Babel. Think about this? Do you not see a connection with Pyramids of Egypt. How ironic it was a Ham descendent that led and brought the idea of building the Tower of Babel. This Tower would have surpassed the Great Pyramids if God didn't intervene. If Nimrod a descendent of Ham would lead the world to built this big monument why will it be hard to believe the descendents of Ham would built pyramids?

[iyaakcreampie]

yeah, nimrod was black. although we might now want to do it, we have to claim him. before some people get bent out of shape, he was a cushite; therefore, he was black. i wish that he would have gotten God's message and became a great builder for God.

[BlackmatterX]

The biblical tower of Babel is symbolic for Nimrod's "EMPIRE". He had built many cities and intended it to reach Egypt, where the gods were.

[dontrililikepackies1]

how can a tower reach to heaven? it never could.. it couldnt even reach to space.. we know this now. so why confuse there languages we as people are nothing compared to God his rebeling could not do a thing. so why? it confuses me.

[markmcgee4]

Nimrod and those who followed him built the tower as a way to reach the "gate of god" (Babel) to regain their lost immortality. God told Noah and his sons that the way into His presence was through obedience, but Nimrod did not want to obey God. He wanted to storm the gates of heaven in his own power. Nimrod would have failed if not stopped. God demonstrated His grace again and gave the people of the world another chance to learn the way of salvation. God showed the way through Abraham.

[dontrililikepackies1]

yes but no one knows where heaven is! and its most certainly not in the atmosphere! so what would be the point in constructinga huge temple that even if they got sky high, they would have ran out of oxygen at a certain altitude and not been able to continue? do you understand what im saying? you cant fly to heaven now let alone build a tower there, so what was the point? it maes no sence.

[planes3333]

@dontrililikepackies1

I think that its a kind of symbolismn in which mankind is capable of pulling back the "veil" (seeing god) so God confused them or slowed down the pace

[dontrililikepackies1]

pulling back the veil? elaberate please... you cant storm the gates of heaven as we cant see it, .. if its symbolic I still dont understand..

[planes3333]

Seeing into reality, seeing the overlapping dimensions of spirit, this realm, and the astral realm.

We have seen into the far macro and microverse with this being done after babel. Can you imagine how advanced mankind would be today if not that divine intervention!

[Shortyjored88]

@dontrililikepackies1 You say how is it possible? Well why is it that the pyramids has baffled great scientist even today? They cannot reproduce it like the ancient. We know th ancient were highly intelligent and astrology and high forms of science and mathematics. I bet they may have known more than we did. How od we know that man's intelligence is not decreasing despite inventions? May be we used to be smarter, but have lost that knowledge like mortality because of sin.

[Shortyjored88]

@dontrililikepackies1 The bible stated that due to sin man started living shorter lifespan. One person used to like to be 900 years old. Plenty of time to accumulate knowledge and such to pass to next generation. Like immortality sin may have impacted out intelligence. If the ancient knew so much about astronomy, once thay have built the tower they solve the issue of oxygen in space like we did. That is if the atmosphere in space was the same as the ancient days.

[socorban]

@dontrililikepackies1 God said to DISPURSE amongst the lands and they did not. They stayed on that platu and built a city. "reaching to the heavens" didnt refer to outerspace if you note they fact they referred to the idea if a flood ever came again the tower would be high enough to save them. That aside, retaining one language they would not dispurse as they were told to so option b is make it so they dont understand eachother and are then forced to dispurse. hope that helps a lil.

[ReligionOfSacrifice]

I take exception with much of what people write about Nimrod and the timeframe. Still I agree with the sentiment of Nimrod hating God. If one wishes to be a mighty hunter before the Lord your option is to destroy the people of God and unify the people against God.

Check out my videos here on You Tube.

[Belusii]

Kush was sam-hamio and nimrof his son was Sam-hamio and his wife was aryan???? from heaven and their son Belus was first Sam-Aryan

Balochs are Samhamioaryans

[Belusii]

Nimrod son of Kush son of Kanan son of sam son of noah?

[sirwallaby]

kanan and kush are both sons of ham...kushtic people are mush of what east africa are today and kananites are north africans "berbers,tuargs etc" + lebanese,palestinians etc but over the years they have mixed with other races.

[Belusii]

Thats why if you notice we baloch are mix with african majority of Baloch are black and some time you notice very blond balochs we are Sam-ham-Aryan

[sirwallaby]

you are right ive seen baluchi people some are white some are brownish..shem and ham descandants have mixed over the years...ive heard that in west africa nigeria the yoruba tribe claim ancestory to nimrod also.

[InternationalBoy]

Nimrod rules, ive been trying to find more information on him for the longest, thanks.

[instructormac09]

Thanks for the short informative story. Now if only, mainly, the Christians knew the connection between Nimrod and the Christmas tree that is so proudly displayed in their home every year; of course that's another part of history gone untold.

[dobacimidzok]

He answered"Yes, you must respect water too!"He was protector of people against the lions and other wild animals, and it is said that he could kill a lion with bare hands.

[dobacimidzok]

The Book of Genesis is not to be understood literally.Nimrod was just a great king and a strong man who led Indo-Europian tribes(at that time speaking similar languages).He came across the mountain named Kush or Kish,had a god named Bel(God of light,thunder,and prosperity)and the tower was the temple of this god.Semitic tribes from Shinar didn't want to accept that god and that's why they hated him so much.They said:"Do we have to respect water if we must respect fire?"

[markmcgee4]

Greetings! Nice of you to comment. A History of Man's Quest for Immortality presents many views of immortality from a wide spectrum of ancient societies. The Bible presents itself clearly as the Word of God and many people quoted in the Bible looked to Genesis as an accurate and credible presentation of the beginning of the earth and human race. Jesus Christ was one of those people. Why do you believe Genesis is not to be understood literally when the people of the Book believe it was?

[Shortyjored88]

@dobacimidzok I love how you want to claim Nimrod as being Indo European when he was clearly a Ham descendent. Just like how people want to claim Egypt as being the same people as Europeans. But yet Nimrod a Hamite brought the Tower of Babel idea and led the world to doing it or attempting it. Then the same Hamites descendents may have wanted to continue building these great monuments because they were taught how to do it by their Hamite ancestors.

[senxo]

The book sounds great. Today many are still trying to find immortality on their own. Their teachers say that the truth is in them and it takes 1000's of life times to find what they already know. Jesus was God's example of truth and how to live. He was also the only spiritual leader to say that the truth can be known today and we can all have a relationship with the creator of the universe. The theory of climbing up an enlightenment ladder, creates looking up to men not God.
