Nimrod and the Tower of Babel

Nimrod And The Tower

There appears to be an increase in the number of people ascribing the office of the antichrist to the post-flood figure, Nimrod.  Several modern exegetes also claim the religious idolatry mixed with false Christ anti-god worship of end-times mystery, Babylon is originated in the city of Babylon instituted and ruled by Nimrod.

The historian, Josephus, gave this description:

Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah-a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny-seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence upon his own power.

He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers!

Gilgamesh, also considered to be another name for Nimrod has another confirmation of Nimrod’s obsession below.

The Gilgamesh Epic describes the first “God is dead” movement. In the Epic, the hero is a vile, filthy, perverted person, yet he is presented as the greatest, strongest, hero that ever lived (Alexander Heidel, 1963: 18). So that the one who sent the Flood will not trouble them anymore, Gilgamesh sets out to kill the perpetrator. He takes with him a friend who is a monstrous half-man, half-animal-Enkidu. Together they go on a long journey to the Cedar Mountain to find and destroy the monster who sent the Flood. Gilgamesh finds him and finally succeeds in cutting off the head of this creature whose name is “Huwawa” (“Humbaba” in the Assyrian version; see Heidel 1963: 34ff).

Most people assume the builders of the tower of Babel were attempting to construct a tower so tall that it would reach up to heaven.  That premise is probably wrong.  The idea of reaching to heaven was most likely a means to produce a star gate-type system that could allow additional Watchers to return to the earth.  This event happened several years after the flood.  All the pre-flood Watchers (fallen angels) had been placed (imprisoned) in Tartarus (the bottom level of the abyss) by God.  The original Nephilim offspring of the Watchers had been killed with their spirits becoming the demonic entities of today.  The two or three generations of Nephilim offspring were drowned in the flood.  The various DNA (mixed, spliced, and altered) created chimeras and monstrosities such as:  minotaurs; centaurs; lion-men; fauns; dinosaurs; pterodactyls were also drowned and not carried on the ark.

Genesis 11:1-4 seems to indicate the majority of the post-flood population desired to stay in one area, build a city, and remain unified.

The whole earth had a common language and a common vocabulary. When the people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. Then they said to one another, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." (They had brick instead of stone and tar instead of mortar.) Then they said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth."

(Genesis 11:1-4 NET)

They also agreed to make a name for themselves for the purpose of not becoming scattered around the world.

It is said that Nimrod believed that he could kill God and become the planet’s new “god”.  He may be the king of Babylon that is referred to in Isaiah 14.  It may not directly be referring to Satan with the Latin name of Lucifer.  Peter Goodgame and other commentators may be correct.  Nimrod could very well be the beast named Apollyon (Apollo) that arises from the bottomless pit.

You said to yourself, "I will climb up to the sky. Above the stars of El I will set up my throne. I will rule on the mountain of assembly on the remote slopes of Zaphon. I will climb up to the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High!"   (Isaiah 14:13-14 NET)

The non-Biblical, but informative, book of Jasher (mentioned in scripture) affirms that the people of Nimrod (stupidly) desired to ascend to heaven and be in control.

And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin, and they began to build it, and whilst they were building against the Lord God of heaven, they imagined in their hearts to war against him and to ascend into heaven.

And all these people and all the families divided themselves in three parts; the first said We will ascend into heaven and fight against him; the second said, We will ascend to heaven and place our own gods there and serve them; and the third part said, We will ascend to heaven and smite him with bows and spears; and God knew all their works and all their evil thoughts, and he saw the city and the tower which they were building.  (Jasher 9:25-26)

It is generally assumed by the current population of today that pre-flood and post-flood people were ignorant and uneducated but that is not the way the Bible and other historical documents portrays it.  Nimrod and his grandfather, Cush, most likely had the knowledge of constructing a system that would allow a passage from the heavenly dimension to the earth dimension.  The post-flood population were told to populate the world but Nimrod and his empire building legions did not desire to be “scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.”  Cush had apparently taught him about the old ways of the pre-flood era and he desired to have it again.  This would only be possible if more Watchers were to come to the earth.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (Genesis 11:4 KJV)

And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.  (Genesis 11:4 Brenton)

Nimrod “became” a Gibbor (mighty one) because he and his grandfather, Ham, had the knowledge of defiling or altering DNA as done by the Watchers prior to the flood and not necessarily in the seminal manner.  His grandmother, Ham’s wife, could have carried a small amount of Watcher DNA of which Nimrod was able to accentuate using Watcher technology in some manner.

The first post-flood empire was ruled by Nimrod.  His empire became the original mystery, Babylon.  The following empires were also mystery Babylon:  Egypt; Assyria; Medo-Persian; and Daniel’s Babylon.  Some of these areas were ruled by Nimrod and others were founded by the migrants of the original Babylon.  The areas of Greece and Rome were among the early settled areas after the language change.  Greece and Rome have the same god hierarchy as the Egyptians and Sumerians, just different names and they would also be included in the mystery, Babylon pantheon of empires. 

And Nimrod dwelt in Shinar, and he reigned securely, and he fought with his enemies and he subdued them, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom became very great. And all nations and tongues heard of his fame, and they gathered themselves to him, and they bowed down to the earth, and they brought him offerings, and he became their lord and king, and they all dwelt with him in the city at Shinar, and Nimrod reigned in the earth over all the sons of Noah, and they were all under his power and counsel. And all the earth was of one tongue and words of union, but Nimrod did not go in the ways of the Lord, and he was more wicked than all the men that were before him, from the days of the flood until those days. - Book of Jasher 7:44-46

The concept of mystery, Babylon has infiltrated the entire earth through the original 70 language groups, European migration, and the Catholic Church.  However, the final headquarters will be in the original Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian area of the Old Testament, Jerusalem.

God viewed the tower building scene and put a stop to it.  He wasn’t upset because Nimrod wanted to build a tall tower, but because he desired a visit from more Watchers.  When one of the disciples asked Jesus why He spoke in parables, he answered:  For this reason I speak to them in parables: Although they see they do not see, and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand.  (Matthew 13:13 NET)  This applied to readers and skeptics of the Old Testament as well.  They say:  “Why would God get mad about a tall tower?  There are tall towers in the world today.  Christians must be stupid.”  However, God was angered because of the attempt to restart Watcher life as before and the plan of Nimrod to keep the majority of the population in one location.  The punishment of God was to divide the people into seventy language groups.  Since the people desired to worship angels such as Watchers, God placed the seventy language groups in the control of 70 angelic beings of the Divine Council. 

When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.  (Deuteronomy 32:8 Brenton LXX)

Most English translations as the KJV render the last sentence as the "number of the children (or sons) of Israel".  However, a Dead Sea Scrolls parchment read, "the number of the sons of God," and the Greek Septuagint LXX version reads, "the number of the angels of God."

All of these 70 people groups differentiated by language stayed within their understandable group and then spread around the world as they were commanded to do initially.  The different groups opinion of Nimrod most likely did not change or their loyalty to his god-like character  As they migrated they incorporated Nimrod and pre-flood events in their stories with embellishments as time went on.  His fame or notoriety did not diminish but the names changed due to the nature of their language.  The new Sumerian people wrote of Marduk and Gilgamesh; to the Greeks he became Apollo; and to the Egyptians he became Osiris.  The internet version of the Jewish Encyclopedia states that king Amraphel of Shinar, was actually Nimrod. Some of the details were changed and modified such as:  the names of his parents; where he came from; and the names of other associates but the basic elements are similar.

A Wikipedia article entitled a Short Chronology Timeline presents the following article: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_chronology_timeline)

Sargon of Akkad, also known as Sargon the Great "The Great King" (Akkadian Šarru-kīnu, meaning "the true king" or "the king is legitimate"), was an Akkadian emperor famous for his conquest of the Sumerian city-states in the 23rd and 22nd centuries BC.[2] The founder of the Dynasty of Akkad, Sargon reigned from 2,270 to 2,215 BC (short chronology).[3] He became a prominent member of the royal court of Kish, killing the king and usurping his throne before embarking on the quest to conquer Mesopotamia. He was originally referred to as Sargon I until records concerning an Assyrian king also named Sargon (now usually referred to as Sargon I) were unearthed.

Some historians make the claim that the Sumerian Kish is in fact the Biblical Cush and that Sargon is another name or the actual name of Nimrod.  Nimrod may not actually be his name but rather a Biblical title meaning “the rebellious one.”  The chronology text implies that Nimrod killed his father to advance his empire.  (NOTE:  It is written in the book of Jasher that Esau killed Nimrod).

The European Tower Poster

The tower of Babel lives on in the modern world.  The European Union chose a tower of Babel image as representative of their unification with the motto:  Europe – Many Tongues One Voice.  The European leaders claim they have overcome God’s judgment of the confusing of languages by providing a single unifying voice for the many languages of the Union.

The top of the tower is encircled with eleven upside-down stars and is a symbol of Baphomet.  It is also a symbol of Nimrod and considered by occultists to be a powerful means of conjuring spirits.  The poster identifies the European Union as a part of the elite scheme to finish or complete the interrupted work of Nimrod and the tower of Babel.   

This star is known as the Baphomet symbol.  The name is derived from two Greek words:  Baph and Metis – together meaning “Baptism of Wisdom”.  The worship of Baphomet was originally leveled against the Knights Templar.  Eliphas Levi”s conception of Baphomet was described as the “Sabbatic Goat of Baphomet of Mendes” is a symbolic collection from four sources:  (1) the infernal goat worshipped by witches at their sabbats; (2) the idol of the Templars; (3) the phallic goat worshipped as a fertility god at Mendes, Egypt; (4) the demonic image on the Tarot trump card, the Devil.

Eliphas Levi quote:

“We recur once more to that terrible number fifteen, symbolized in the Tarot by a monster throned upon an altar, mitered and horned, having a woman’s breasts and the generative organs of a man—the Devil.  Yes, we confront here that phantom of all terrors, the dragon of all theogonies, the Ahriman of the Persians, the Typhon of the Egyptians, the Python of the Greeks, the old serpent of the Hebrews, the fantastic monster, the nightmare, the Croquemitaine, the gargoyle, the great beast of the Middle Ages, and—worse than all of these—the Baphomet of the Templars, the bearded idol of the alchemist, the obscene deity of Mendes, the goat of the Sabbath.”

Notice the people in the lower left corner of the EU poster – they are in the form of bricks.  The tower of Babel was constructed of man made bricks with bitumen mortar.  The workers or common people of the new world order will be as Pink Floyd’s “another brick in the wall”.  All must conform and be interchangeable.  The altar of God was to be made of uncut stones without the use of an iron tool.

Then you must build an altar there to the LORD your God, an altar of stones — do not use an iron tool on them.   (Deuteronomy 27:5 NET)

Isis, Osiris, and Horus

The Egyptian god Osiris was murdered by his brother named Set, his body cut into pieces and scattered around the area.  Osiris is another name for Nimrod and he was murdered by his Uncle Seth and supposedly hacked into pieces.  Isis, the wife of Osiris, (some say sister), restores the body of Osiris except for the penis which was either eaten by a catfish or a crab.  She placed the body parts together, designed a penis of gold, and used her powers to restore the life of Osiris (some say with the tears of her eyes).  After his resurrection, Isis becomes pregnant and bears a son named Horus.

Upon reaching adulthood Horus and Set battle for the kingship of Egypt.  Set loses a testicle, therefore the desert which he represents becomes infertile.  Horus loses his left eye but a new eye is created by Khonsu, the moon god, and replaced the lost one.  The “Eye of Horus” is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection.  Many celebrities represent the lost eye of Horus by covering one eye.  Horus was also said to be a god of war and hunting and was often depicted as a falcon.  Later pharaohs were considered to be Horus in human form.

The penis of gold, fashioned by Isis, is currently a powerful occult symbol.  It is usually in the form of an obelisk or pole.  In conjunction with the Osiris phallus is the womb of Isis.  Not much information is available on this subject other than from Thomas Horn and associates.  However the two most famous obelisks in the world are the Washington monument and the Sistine Chapel.  Both are paired with the womb of Isis as the capital rotunda in Washington DC and the Chapel rotunda of the Sistine Chapel.

Mystery, Babylon Today

What is Mystery, Babylon?  That questioned has plagued many for several years, particularly during the current era that appears to be close to the 70^th week of Daniel.  One individual, by the name of Richard Coombes, has spent a lifetime, researching and writing articles and a book concluding that the USA is mystery, Babylon.  I have read many of his articles and his book but I totally reject that point of view.  Coombes and others are looking for a city and a place that meets most of the criteria found in the Bible (mostly Old Testament references).  They have concluded that New York City, in particular, and the USA in general meet those requirements.  If the exercise was to find a city in the world, right now, that meets the requirements, then I would probably agree.  However we are not looking for a “right now” city – we are looking for a future end-times city dominated by the beast (antichrist) which will be the capital of the one world government empire.  I agree that ethics, scruples, actions, government, alphabet agencies, police, banking, gambling, drugs, alcohol, perversion, pornography, crime, wife abuse, child abuse, and extremely bad in the country.  However, it is not necessarily the worst country in the world – I have heard and read of exploits in other countries that make me gag, cry, or pray.

The entire world, including the USA, is heavily influenced by MB. The currents of Babylon are entrenched in everything:  government; commerce; entertainment; education; activities; and many other things.  Unfortunately, many churches are either somewhat or completely inundated.  Mystery, Babylon is the unnamed goal of the elite’s effort to install a one world government and to subjugate the entire population into the ungodly profane mindset of the occult system of Nimrod.

 It is currently not a specific place, although it will have a central location during the 70^th week of Daniel.  Too many researchers, commentators, Bible students, and self-appointed sages make the disastrous mistake of using world current events and forcing them into a prophetic fulfillment of prophetic events that have NOT YET come to pass. 

When the beast (antichrist) is revealed and begins his conquering and empire building (or perhaps he initially will be a problem-solving statesman) the eventual capital of the world will be placed in Jerusalem.  I have written about this on numerous occasions.

In summary – the whole, entire planet earth is engulfed by mystery, Babylon, but the capital city will eventually be (not now) Jerusalem.

The Characteristics Of Babylon

The Babylonian mystery began in the ancient Babylon of Nimrod.  He purposely defied God; he engineered the building of a city to prevent the migration of people over the face of the earth; he convinced the people to turn away from the God of Shem and turn back to the Watcher gods of the pre-flood days.  After all, he had transformed himself into a Nephilim using the occult information acquired from his grandfather Ham and his father Cush.  He also knew how to build a tower stargate to attract more like minded Watchers back to the planet.

The primary characteristic of the old and new Babylon is to turn away from the Lord God of the Bible and to the occult god of “oneself as god” as promised by the serpent (nachash) to Eve and then Adam.  Many of us only turn toward God some of the time, maybe an hour or two on Sunday.  The remainder of the time, God is not in our lives. That is not the way it is supposed to be.  A Christian with the filling of the Holy Spirit should have God in every aspect of their lives, every day, every hour.  Out work, our entertainment, our finances, our meetings, our grocery shopping, everything should be filled with the thought and worship of God.

When God confused the languages of Babylon, the people finally migrated to various parts of the planet taking the occult idolatrous religion of Babylon with them.  The names of Nimrod, Semiramus, Tammuz, Ham, Cush, Mizraim, the flood, the Garden of Eden, and others were changed and mythologized with extra stories and details added to the original.  New religious texts were written and rewritten.  Some historical names and events became myth. God then took Abram from the Babylonian area and created a new people to follow the ways of God.  Several hundred years later God dictated the Pentateuch to Moses at the top of a mountain.  God then directed the minds and lives of prophets and scholars to write and coordinate the remainder of the Holy collection we call the Bible today.  God did not dictate every word but He instigated and oversaw every letter.  The spirit of mystery Babylon has produced a voluminous amount of heresy, idolatry, propaganda, and false teaching.  Many Bab-heads consider the false teaching as equal to the Bible.  They should be prayed for because they do not know God and His Messiah. 

The scripture phrase, “come out of her, my people”, applies to now, today, not just the end of time.  It does not mean to move away from any country – the USA or some other.  It means to get out of the everyday idolatry that most of the time we don’t even realize exists.  Supposed religious texts have recently been discovered and some Bab-heads say we should pay attention to them.  My thought is these texts are not from God.  If they were then they would not have been lost for two thousand years.  God does not work that way.  These texts are the property of mystery, Babylon, not the God of the Bible.

The Institutes of Babylon

Financial Babylon controls all the finances, material wealth, and resources of the planet.  The entire world banking system is owned and operated by the elite illuminati.  The Federal Reserve is not a Federal institution.  It is a privately owned money printing bank.  There is some type of reserve banking system in practically every nation.  Those nations not supporting a reserve bank are attacked by NATO, the USA, or Israel until there is a regime change that will support a reserve bank.  Think Iraq, Arab Spring, Syria, Boko Harem in Africa, Isis in the Mid-East, Thailand, and others. 

Religious Babylon has already been discussed, but there are a few more points.  A few years after the flood there were only two religions:  the religion of God led by Shem; and the religion of Nimrod was the opposite.  Abraham was called out of Babylon to begin a new nation of God and for God.  When the Hebrews were taken out of bondage in Egypt by Moses, the new nation of Israel was the only nation on earth that was the antithesis of mystery, Babylon.

Almost anyone can notice the changes concerning religion in Europe and the USA.  A small group of atheists and Judeans should be Nimrod happy.  They have taken Bibles, the pledge of allegiance, and the National anthem out of schools.  Homosexuality is now politically correct.  Female priests are the new thing.

Political Babylon has two options:  a government based on God; or a government based on Babylon.  The government of the USA began with the motto, “In God we trust”, but in recent days it appears that God is no longer needed.  A Flavius Josephus quote concerning Nimrod tells us that government is under the control of Babylon.

Flavius Josephus

Now it was Nimrod who exited them to such an affront and contempt of God.  He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand.  He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his (Nimrod) means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness.  He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power.
