The Truth of Genesis: The Sad Truth of Christianity and Judaism – The First Middle
This is the second chapter of six of the series. In Genesis chapter ten (part one), just as Ham failed to instruct Canaan, Cush failed to instruct Nimrod, who ended up wanting other men to worship him as a god. Take note that Genesis 10:7-8 sets aside Nimrod from his other brothers, being a subtle way to identify him as an evil person.
Much of today’s cults come from the evil of Nimrod.
This was the first attempt at a “new world order” and “one world religion”, centered around the worship of Nimrod in Babel. It is said that Shem, Nimrod’s great uncle, killed Nimrod, and scattered his remains across the land. There was just one land mass at this time.
The priests of Nimrod proclaimed that Nimrod became the Sun, in order in continued his worship. When his wife became pregnant five months later, she proclaimed that she was made pregnant by the “rays of the Sun”, which was supposedly her husband. It is about this time (2509 BC) that God stopped the building of the tower, and scattered mankind (and the continents) across the Earth.
The widow of Nimrod, named Semiramis, named her (illegitimate) son Tammuz, when he was born, supposedly on December 25th, as were the other “sun gods”. When Tammuz was killed by a wild boar on his 40th birthday, the “forty days of weeping” was instituted, and the eating of ham was instituted on the 41st day. When Semiramis died, the priests of Nimrod proclaimed that “the queen of heaven” came back to earth, landed in the Euphrates River, and changed a bird into an egg laying rabbit to prove her divinity.
The 41st day was then called “Easter”.
About 150 years later, in 2318 BC, Abram was born in Ur of the Chaldees. His younger brother named Haran, met a tragic death in perhaps 2302 BC, and the family moved from Ur to another location in southern Syria, which Terah, Abram’s father, called Haran, after his dead son.
Abram married his half-sister (Sarai) in about 2288 BC, and God “called” him in 2243 BC. After some eight years of waiting for God to fulfill His promise to Abram, Sarai gave her Egyptian handmaid to Abram in 2233 BC, in order to bear a child…, big mistake.
Ishmael was born in 2232 BC, when Abram was 86 years old. Like Eve, Sarai acted on her own, and her offspring would suffer for it. Still, like Adam, Abram should have said “no”, and continued to wait on Yehovah.
