How do you think Nimrod from the Bible got to be associated with fools?

    Good question,I think it is probably because Nimrod is believed to be the one who initiated the building of the Tower of Babel,to reach Heaven & be as God is........pretty foolish!In the Bible we see he was a mighty hunter,he probably should have just stuck to hunting,,,,,,,,,,,

                                                                                                                   With love-in Christ,Kwik

We don't own anything, its ALL a gift loan from God.

God gives us the FREE gift of salvation through His plan of Mercy & Grace.

 

Being born of Christ Jesus is having died to sin and been re- born with His Holy Spirit living in us.

 

He is the ONE working in us, transforming our hearts and minds into His new creation.

We are His workmanship.

 

Mind,heart of ChristJesus living in the Holy spirit of God

or

Mind,heart of Pride.  living in the flesh

I looked it up on the internet in urban expressions and found the following:

 

Just found on urban dictionary "Probably from the phrase “poor little Nimrod,” used by the cartoon character Bugs Bunny to mock the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd."

Kwik,   you might want to read a little further in that story for God said that he came down and confounded their language for

nothing would stop them from accomplishing whatever they set out to do.......    which was to build something to take them to God's realm...    and God himself said they could do whatever......

Since nimrod was a mighty hunter, it seems like even that insult relates to the biblical nimrod.

Nimrod has an interesting history in things written outside the Bible....  In the Bible though,  the people we know of his generation were still living nearly 500 years.....    Noah's grandson (Arphaxad) through Shem lived 438 years...    Abraham was 147 when he died.

 

Stories within Jewish writings tell of Nimrod harassing Abraham and tried to have him killed because he was Worshiping Yahweh.     Most of the ancient historical writings I have read seem to think that Nimrod was the same person as the Babylonian/Sumerian Gilgamesh.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
