If you don't believe he was real, then why are you picking and choosing from that Book what your willing to believe. You people who want to debate scripture, but don't actually believe Scripture are wearisomeAnd Nimrod is not a real character, he was not in reality, right?
He was the first world ruler. God dealt with him personallyThe Jews, seems at all stages, kept records that are water tight. I believe there was a nimrod...does the bible not give his geneology? Of course it does.
I apologize for bringing gender issues into everything.The Bible repeatedly mentions Babylon as a city of sin. However, I have not seen evidence of this in objective sources.
Herodotus said:The foulest Babylonian custom is that which compels every woman of the land to sit in the temple of Aphrodite and have intercourse with some stranger at least once in her life. Many women who are rich and proud and disdain to mingle with the rest, drive to the temple in covered carriages drawn by teams, and stand there with a great retinue of attendants. But most sit down in the sacred plot of Aphrodite, with crowns of cord on their heads; there is a great multitude of women coming and going; passages marked by line run every way through the crowd, by which the men pass and make their choice.
Most people surrounding Israel did.Ezekial: God calls the Babylonians a 'mean' people.
Babylon practiced Child Sacrifice. So is America...there's a warning in here.
Nimrod and his Ho- Semiramis - created the first false religion. Yeah, I'd say Babylon was - and IS - evil. Babylon today seems to be America. If so, her judgment will be with fire and it will fall "in one hour". Gee, I wonder what that could mean?
History shows Nebuchadnezzar was an evil warrior-king, a smash and grab military leader of the Neo-Babylonian empire who ruled
from 605 – 562 BCE.
Greece and Israel affected by these military grabs deemed them cruel and evil.
Then came Belshazadar just as vicious a conquerer.
Saddam was admittingly emulating Nebuchadnezzar as Uday inspired to be Belshazadar, so wouldn't you call Saddam and his Build Back Babylon plan sinful?
HOW about his son Uday?
Isaiah's predictions of the imminent fall of Babylon and his glorification of Cyrus as the deliverer (HaSheva) of Israel date his prophecies to 550–539 BCE, and probably towards the end of this period.
ONCE AGAIN prophecy is 3 layers:
the historical, the repeat history emulation, the spiritual emulation or resemblance.
ONCE AGAIN: example I'll leave is
Isaiah 14:12-17
The historical reference is Nebuchadnezzar, the underlining spiritual reference is Jesus (morning stars) fall, and repeat emulation in history was Saddam and his fall deshevelled found in a pit the earth shook from the bombs and leaders asked if this worn out bearded man was that same force of chaos. He was found in his pit on the 14th day of Dec=Isaiah 14:12
(in that part of the world as in Europe they write the day first then the month, that's why something so blatantly obvious escaped everyone.)

I do not see anything wrong with these actions. On the contrary, they are brave people.Josephus wrote:
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 on his 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 reach. And that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.
Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water.
When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another.
The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion ...
They were in rebellion against God. They were stupid people.I do not see anything wrong with these actions. On the contrary, they are brave people.
Where does this information come from?
What kind of independence? From the Babylonian empire, they moved to the Achaemenid empire, there was no talk of independenceThe tree called Babylon extended its branches to heaven and provided nourishment and rest to the birds and the beasts (Dn 4:4-18). That nation was a great tree under whose shade a multitude of peoples found sanctuary.
On the other hand, Babylon, like so many others, subjugated Israel. Not that Israel was treated badly, per se. She just always expected independence, and so continuously lamented being a weak and aimless minority.
Vice versa, the Bible says that Yahweh used to demand the sacrifice of children. True, some say that he demanded them not for the altar, but for the service in the temple, but this is unconvincing.Where does my info come from? The bible. Read about the gods they worshipped. They practiced child sacrifice as well as human sacrifice meaning adults. You may even check your leftist sourced information, Wiki.
