Noach Back to Emet Articles
This Torah portion is called Noach, named
after the builder of the ark and father of the faith who heard Yahweh’s
voice and obeyed. In this weeks
reading are verses about one single man who has had a tremendous impact
upon history. His actions have affected millions of people
throughout thousands of years. Like
a pebble falling into a calm pond, this man’s deeds have had a ripple
affect upon all humanity. But,
this person is not Noach. To the
contrary, it is Noach’s great grandson who has poisoned mankind until
today.
His name is Nimrod and his behavior and memory
have influenced every false worship system throughout the past. The Bible has very little to say of Nimrod.
Yet, with what the Scriptures do say combined with historical accounts
and the commentary from the Sages of Judaism a person can draw an accurate
account of this evil man. Nimrod is the man who could quite literally be
considered the first anti-Messiah. “Nimrod
grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; that is
why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.” The first centers of his kingdom were Nimrod’s House His name is the exact Hebrew verb form for
“let us revolt” and it exactly explains the course of his life and the
dangerous legacy he has left. It
is a legacy that continues until today.
It is a legacy that began when Nimrod, the warrior, conquered the
famous capitals of Nimrod’s House was to be constructed as a
place of worship regulated by the earliest pagan state religion founded
by Nimrod himself and his wife Semiramis.
His satanic faith included calling the emperor or himself a deity
worthy of worship and exalting the sun as a god.
This one world religion, complimented by a one world language,
allowed Nimrod to exalt himself and his wife as supreme beings who deserved
homage. The tower or pyramid was to reach to the heavens,
thus exalting Nimrod as the supreme ruler of the universe. It is only when Yahweh stops the building of
Yahweh’s house and scatters builders that Nimrod’s direct reign is stopped.
Yet Nimrod’s indirect reign of the lives and religions of man continues
to this day. As a consequence to Yahweh scattering the peoples
all over the world and giving the different languages, each group, each
nation, took with it the knowledge of Nimrod/sun/pagan worship and a desire
to usurp Yahweh All-powerful. The
ancient historian Josephus regards Nimrod as the father of heathenism
and paganism, the characteristics of which is to find strength and happiness
in rebellion against the Almighty. A lasting impression In the scriptures Nimrod is called a “mighty
hunter” and his life story is that of rebellion and wickedness. After the death of Nimrod, his wife continued
this heathen form of worship. Her
name is Queen Semiramis. According
to on author, “she claimed that her husband had become the Sun god, and
was to be worshipped. Some time
after this, the Queen conceived through adultery and gave birth to an
illegitimate son whom she named, Tammuz, who she declared was actually
Nimrod reborn.” This mother son relationship, spawned through
the reincarnation of the sun god, can be found in false religions all
over the world, in various countries and cultures. While Nimrod’s character and personhood stays
the same his name is different in different places worldwide. Nimrod is called “Marduk” or “Mars” throughout
paganism, “Poseidon” and “Enki” in Greece, “Bel” or “Baal” or the Sun
god in Israel and other nations, and historically has been documented
as the “serpent or dragon” found among the Ethiopians, Chinese, Japanese,
and American Indian. The cult of
Mormonism is also derived from Nimrod, as to the Mormons Nimrod is known
as the angel “ Nimrod’s wife Semiramis, the queen of heaven
as the Bible identifies her, is also called “Isis” in Egypt, “Cybelle”
in Asia, “Ceres” in Greece, “Shing
Moo” in China, “Sisa” in Scandinavia, “Indrania” in India, and “Mea Domina”
or the “Madonna” in Rome. The idea
of the mother and child, Semiramis and Tammuz, later became known as Isis
and Osiris, Venus and Adonis, and the Madonna and child in various cultures
to this day. His kingdom has no end Beresheet An interesting reminder of Nimrod’s heritage
is the fact that he is considered to be the founder of the two wicked
cities that grew into the empires that would eventually conquer the 1) 2) To sum it all up The Encyclopedia Judaica says, “Nimrod is
the prototype of rebellion against the Almighty.” Furthermore the book of Revelation, chapters
17 and 18 and the 47th Chapter of Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) speak
of the “Babylonian Mystery Religion” that has coiled from Nimrod and his
wife. Yes this week’s Torah portion is named Noach. Yes it was the faithful actions of Noach that helped save mankind. In spite of that it was Nimrod whose satanic schemes helped pervert mankind away from true worship of Yahweh. It is the defiance of this man and his followers that command attention from anyone who studies this weekly portion. How has Nimrod’s memory influenced your life, your faith? Can you vividly see how the enemy has continued the assault against the truth throughout the ages?
