Babylon
In his book, The Giza Discovery, author Peter Goodgame has done a masterful job of laying the foundation of who this guy was to the ancient world… and who he will be in the days ahead. The Bible calls him Nimrod, but to the ancients he was known as:
- Gilgamesh
- Baal
- Molech
- Chiun
- Nisroch
- Dagon
- Remphan
- Melqart
- Adonis
- Eshmun
- Dumuzi
- Dionysus
- Bacchus
- Orion
- Mithra
- Apollo
- Ra
- Tammuz
- Osiris
There are others, but I primarily want to focus on the first and the last in the list above. Before I do that, I’d like to explain why he is known by so many names.
The Bible tells us about one of the things Nimrod did that made him famous. He was the one who orchestrated the building of the Tower of Babel. According to the Book of Jasher,[1] Nimrod led a team of three camps, each with a special mission to accomplish with the completion of the Tower. One camp intended to kill God. Another intended to strike Him with bows and spears. The third planned to set up their false gods and worship them in Heaven. So what we see here are the attributes of the first Anti-Christ. He wanted to kill God and set up a One World System, with himself as God. But when God saw all that they intended to do, He decided to do something about it.
The first thing we must realize is that the Tower of Babel was not just a tall building. God didn’t freak out when we built the World Trade Center buildings. No. Nimrod was building what we might call a “Stargate” today. The Tower of Babel was literally a portal through which Nimrod intended to reach into Heaven. And apparently, this was possible.
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. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
– Genesis 11:4-7 (KJV) [emphasis mine]
From that text it would seem that Nimrod’s plan was possible – at least in the sense of “reaching into Heaven.” We know that we can’t build a building that is high enough to literally enter into the “Third Heaven” where God dwells, therefore something else must be meant by this. Somehow, Nimrod and his people created something that could “bridge” our world and that of the Heavenly realm. But God put a stop to it. He confounded their speech and separated the people of the earth.
We are closing in on all of the things hope to be established by Nimrod in the Genesis 10:
- 1 world government
- 1 world religion
- 1 world currency
- 1 world language
- Babylon destroying the temple and creating a new phase of man
- A New Name or Number?
