Blinded By the Light - The Occult of Roman Catholicism

The Jewish Talmud says that he was ìa hunter of the souls of men.î

ìThe name Nimrod may come from the Hebrew verb

ënimrodhí which is translated, ëLet us revolt.í Nimrod is

referred to as a ëmighty oneí: this phrase derives from the

Hebrew word ëgilorí which means ëtyrantí. Nimrod was not

just a powerful man on the earth at that time, he was a

tyrannical leader of men. The phrase ëa mighty hunter

before the Lordí suggests that it was not wild beasts that

Nimrod was hunting, but men. Having hunted them he

would enslave them and have a tyrannical hold over them.

And all this was done in direct opposition to the Lord.î 8

The Hebrew historian Flavius Josephus, in his book ìAntiquities of the Jewsî,
wrote the following about Nimrod and those that were under his rule.

ìHe persuaded them not to ascribe [their contentment and

safety] to God, as if it was through his means they were

happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which

procured that happiness. He 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 upon his power.î 9

Nimrod also built the city of Nineveh, a metropolis infamous for its idolatry,
wickedness and bloodshed.

ìWoe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery.î

Nahum 3:

There have been many archeological digs and expeditions in the ancient city of
Nineveh. In his commentary on the Book of Nahum, James M. Boice notes some
of the grotesque evidences found in the ruins.

The following are all quotes from artifacts found there.

ìI cut off their heads and formed them into pillars.î

ìBubo, son of Buba, I flayed in the city of Arbela and I spread his skin upon the city

wall.î

ìI flayed all the chief men who had revolted, and I covered the pillar with their

skins.î

ìMany within the border of my own land I flayed, and spread their skins upon the

walls.î

ìI cut off the limbs of the officers, the royal officers who had rebelled.î

ì3,000 captives I burned with fire.î

ìTheir corpses I formed into pillars.î

ìI made one pillar of the living, and another of heads, I bound their heads to posts

round about the city.î
