Nimrod was a tyrant who launch a war against God. He plays a significant role at this point in the Bible’s story. Nimrod’s devarim or language in Hebrew could mean more than just speaking a language.
Explanation of deariam n the plural. We find that strange. Hebrew is Hebrew with its various meanings for one word. That’s Key 1 to mastering Biblical Hebrew. Nimrod’s devarim is ONE cause with many aspects.
According to Jewish history, “God chose Nimrod to wipe out the remaining giants who had survived the deluge. God even gave Nimrod a powerful bow to use in his pursuit of them.
The giants were revered as gods back then. After murdering them, Nimrod reasoned that he might use the same weapon against God’s angels. He ascribed the flood, the nephilim, and other events that affected humanity at the time to the angels.
Nimrod did test his powerful bow, which God had given him, against an angel who was observing the building of the Tower of Babel on the day the tower was demolished.
That is the reason why people say Nimrod was against GOD; but he never was against GOD. He hated the Nephilim and he had to hunt the remnants of them. He knew the Nephilim used to be angels, so he thought if he could kill the angels he would probably save mankind.
DO NOT FORGET GOD’s promise to Noah. The next time He will use fire to destroy the earth, instead of water. Nimrod thought that day was near; and that’s why he tried to build the Tower of Babel, not to avoid a flood but to flee the fire.” by Erik (Nimrodd-13) Cyr (Sorei, Canada)
However, if this is true, then one is left wondering why did God prevent Nimrod from completing his tower. The scripture reminds us that men are sinners in rebellion against God. We are reminded by the prophet Isaiah that “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way…” Isaiah 56:6. The Apostle Paul reminds us: “As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”… Romans 3:10-12
God came down to see the tower that people under the guidance of Nimrod had built and was not pleased. This is why he disrupted the building of the tower.
Today, we have the same sort of rebellion against God. Scientists and world leaders have banded together to re-engineer humanity. Their goal is the same. That goal is to unify all men in rebellion against God. Lets pray that Jesus will appear long before that is possible world wide.
