A History Lesson – Nimrod, Semiramis and the First Babylon / Mystery Religion

Part 1: “Back to the Future”:

Yes, we must go ALL THE WAY BACK to the time of Noah and the re-birth of civilization, after the Great Flood. To understand the future, we must first understand the past.

Prior to the Great Flood, the Bible tells us that the earth had become overrun by genetically corrupted human hybrids and animals. God’s creation of man and animals had become so corrupted that evil was continuous and rampant. Men thought of nothing else, but of evil. This occurred between the creation of Adam and Eve until the time of the Great Flood. We also know that Satan and some of his angels (sons of God) were the perpetrators of this corruption of men on the earth.

. . . “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” (Gen. 6:1-2, 4-7).

. . . “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Gen. 6:11-13).

After God destroyed the existing civilization(s) of evil men around the known world by a Great Flood that covered the entire earth, he elected to spare one man (Noah) and his direct family. “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham. And Japheth.” (Gen. 6:8-10).

Part 2: “A Second Chance Given to Men”:

Once the ark settled and the waters receded, God gave mankind a second chance through the lineage and genetics of Noah.

. . . “And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” (Gen. 8:16-19, 9:1).

. . . “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” (Gen. 6:9-10). (Emphasis added).

In essence, this was God’s ‘restocking program.’ Through the uncorrupted, unspoiled genetics of Noah and the genetically perfect male and female animal pairs he kept on the ark, God was able to repopulate the earth and to continue with the animal kingdom he originally created. God started over with a clean, genetic slate, as he originally intended. Through Noah’s original three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, the whole world was repopulated through many generations. “These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations divided in the earth after the flood.” (Gen. 9:19).

Part 3: “Evil Wastes No Time”:

Satan is always standing at the ready to corrupt and deceive mankind. He wasted no time interceding in man’s affairs once again. It took him only two generations, after Noah’s son, Ham, to pollute mankind.

Noah begat Ham begat Cush begat Nimrod (Gen. 10:1, 10:6, 10:8).

Nimrod is the first foreshadowing of an anti-christ-like figure (one world leader that defies God and promotes a false mystery religion).

. . . “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.” (Gen. 10:8-10). (Emphasis added).

Satan chooses Nimrod to manifest his evil and defiance towards God. In the verse above, is the first instance of the word “kingdom” used in Genesis, after the flood. Historians have noted the conquests of peoples and forced movement of them into cities, under his control. The glorious jewel of his kingdom was known as Babel. Every empire has a kingdom or capital, and Babel was Nimrod’s crown jewel and a monument to himself. Through conquest, warfare and slavery, Nimrod grew the cities under his dominion. Historians agree that this was the beginning of the Sumerian culture, empire and “mystery religion,” and the first known empire on the earth after the flood.

Part 4: “The Crown Jewel of the Empire, the First World Capital, the Great City  and Tower . . . Babel”:

What did Nimrod do? Through conquest, warfare and slavery, Nimrod was able to corral people in the plain (land) of Shinar (modern day Iraq).

What did Nimrod build? Since there was only one language among all peoples on the earth after the flood, Nimrod was able to architect, design, organize, administer and build a great “tower that would reach heaven.” Architects, planners, builders, foremen, brick masons, slaves and bureaucrats all spoke the same language and could follow the same game plan dictated by Nimrod’s satanic vision and influence. This great tower was built surrounded by a glorious and magnificent city. This city was built expressly in defiance of God, for the glorification of man and for the worship of the gods (mystery religion).

What motivated Nimrod to do this? First of all, he was an imposingly large man, skilled in hunting not only animals but in men as well. He was a hunter and killer by instinct and by skills. Secondly, he rejected his great-grandfather’s God “I AM” and instead worshipped false idols, false gods and himself. Nimrod harbored resentment, anger and fury towards “I AM” because of the destruction of evil men before the flood. Nimrod had heard the stories of the great flood, passed down from Noah to Ham to Cush to him.

Paul Rolland | Night Watchman Ministries | MbS and His Abomination of Desolation

Nimrod wanted to build a monument to himself, through a tower that would reach into heaven. This structure would make a name for himself and show his greatness to those he conquered. This tower would glorify his city and capital. This tower would rise so high, that if God sent another flood, Nimrod could rise above the flood and defy God. Nimrod was perfectly aware that God specifically instructed his grandfather, Noah, to scatter about the earth and repopulate it. Nimrod rejected God’s instructions and instead, gathered and forced his conquered peoples to live in cities. He could only govern and rule over people safely guarded (trapped, imprisoned) in walled cities. People living in these cities were forced to rely on Nimrod, and his dictatorship, for their survival. They could no longer provide a living for themselves, having been taken away from the livelihood they had been instructed to obtain, from God. Nimrod supplanted God, in every way, of the people he conquered. This was and still is Satan’s eternal plan and will play out again during the Tribulation period described in the book of Revelation. What proof in the Bible is there for this?

. . . “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said to one another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 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 the face of the whole earth.” (Gen. 11:1-4).

Jennifer LeClaire Ministries; Prophetic Warning: A New Tower of Babel Rising

Genesis 11:5-9 indicates that God saw what Nimrod and these men were doing and instead of destroying them, he changed their one language into many languages. This resulted in no one being able to communicate with one another. Architects couldn’t speak with planners, who couldn’t speak with builders, who couldn’t speak with foremen, who couldn’t speak with brick masons, who couldn’t speak with slaves, etc. They gave up trying to finish building the tower. God scattered these men once again so they could not commune again to build similar things. Genesis, verse 11:9 indicates that this city was called Babel, “Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”

Part 5: Historical accounts for Nimrod, Semiramis (his wife) and Mystery Religion Babylon:

[Author’s note:] It is not the intent of this book to provide a detailed, historical analysis of Nimrod or the Sumerian culture and religion. There are many books and resources available that discuss these subjects in detail. Through historical records and research, it is believed that all of the world’s false religious ideologies, philosophies and doctrines originated, in one form or another, from the Sumerian culture, in the Mesopotamian Valley, and from Babel specifically.

Paul Rolland | Night Watchman Ministries | Pope Francis and Mystery Babylon – Both the Religion and City of the Beast

Satan provided mankind with the idolatrous and blasphemous seeds of the ‘mystery religion’ at this time. Another Christian writer, Dr. Steven Merrill MD, has done a fantastic amount of research and writing concerning the person of Nimrod, his wife Semiramis and the mystery religion of Babylon that followed along with the dispersion of people from Babel. Dr. Merrill’s excellent book, “Nimrod – Darkness in the Cradle of Civilization,” (Xulon Press), provides a compelling account of this evil man. The following are excerpts from Dr. Merrill’s book.

Pages 331 – 333. No centralized government ruled in Mesopotamia prior to 3000 BC. Historians agree the city of Kish was one of the first cities to develop in the Sumerian civilization. Biblical records identify Nimrod as the son of Cush and grandson of Ham. Nimrods father, Cush probably founded the city of Kish (Kush) and named it after himself.

The Book of Genesis describes eight cities Nimrod either conquered or founded. Eusebius records Ninus (another name for Nimrod) as the first king to rule in Assyria. The prophet Micah referred to Assyria as the land of Nimrod, suggesting Nimrod’s previous control of this land.

Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and POWER was ‘GIVEN’ him (Prince, Beast, Antichrist) over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and NATIONS.

The (Assyrian) Antichrist; ‘A King of Dark Sentences’ (political language, false agreements, deceiving covenants, lies, back-room dealing, deception, intrigue, announcements and deceiving doctrines and programs.)

23 “ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:23-25)

*******

The first prominent King of Kish, Etana, was the first to conquer the large cities of Mesopotamia and place them under his rule. The exploits of King Etana, noted in extra-Biblical history, approximate those attributed to the Biblical Nimrod, and therefore may indicate these men are one in the same. Many extra-Biblical sources credit Nimrod as the man to develop weapons of warfare. The Jerusalem Targum notes the following about this man: “He was powerful in hunting and in wickedness before the Lord, for he was a hunter of the sons of men, and he said to them, ‘Depart from the judgement of the Lord, and adhere to the judgement of Nimrod!’ Therefore is it said . . .’As Nimrod [is] the strong one, strong in hunting, and in wickedness before the Lord.’’’

Nimrod is noted as the first to assemble armies for conquest in the post-flood world. He was the first King to conquer the ancient world. “Nimrod was the first who carried on war against his neighbors and he conquered all nations from Assyria to Lybia, as they were yet unacquainted with the arts of war.” All sources describe Nimrod as having an insatiable lust for power and dominion over people.

He conquered many large cities and placed them under his authority. The Greek historian Diodorus lived as a contemporary of Julius Caesar. His record states Ninus (Nimrod) built the great city of Ninevah and gave it his name. Diodorus also recorded Ninus as a great warrior who subdued Asia. Josephus, a Jewish historian, noted Nimrod was a tyrant, demanding complete control of his people. He brought people into complete dependence upon him. The Roman historian Justin stated the following about Nimrod: “Ninus strengthened the greatness of his acquired dominion by continued possession. Having subdued, therefore, his neighbors. . .he went forth against other tribes and every new victory paved the way for another. He subdued all peoples of the east.”

Modern Day – NEOM Babylon

Page 335-336. The hideous death and dismemberment of Nimrod likely caused his followers to fear Shem and his Holy God. Therefore, one might reasonably assume the false religion of Babylon went underground at that time. It became known as the mystery religion of Babylon, because its adherents practiced it in secret. The tongues of seventy different languages disseminated this mystery religion throughout the entire world following God’s judgement at Babel. Indeed, it became the foundation for all religions and philosophies that have fiercely opposed the One True God.

Some have written Nimrod was a giant black Nephilim (human hybrid resulting from fallen angelic sexual relations with women), and they have hypothesized his enormous size was the result of genetic characteristics he inherited from his grandmother. The wife of Ham purportedly descended from Cain – the first son of Adam, who murdered his younger brother Abel. Genesis, Chapter 6, describes the bizarre corruption of Cain’s lineage by demonic angels. The resulting giant progeny were called Nephilim, and they were infamous for their wickedness in the antediluvian world. The Sumerians worshipped them as gods.

The Hebrew word Nimrod means, ‘to rebel,’ or to revolt.’ That definition illustrates the story of this man’s life. He was the chief instigator of the rebellion against God and is credited for building the Tower of Babel.

Pages 340 – 341. Semiramis became a powerful ruler in Mesopotamia following the death of her husband Nimrod. Semiramis wore a crown symbolizing the turreted wall – the first known monarch to wear such a crown. The Sumerian name Sammur-amat was the original name of this woman. The name is translated ‘Gift of the sea.’ The first part of this name, Sammur, becomes Shinar when translated into Hebrew. The land of Shinar is the Biblical name for the region of southern Mesopotamia. People of this land were called Sumerians – a name also derived from Sammur. Both the Sumerians and their land of Shinar (Sumer) were named after this notorious woman. The Sumerians were the first to develop cities in this present world. Most anthropologists credit them with beginning human civilization. Semiramis ruled for more than forty years after Nimrod’s death.

Pages 355, 356, 358, 360. All attempts to trace the origin of goddess worship lead ultimately to one single woman of ancient history – Semiramis. She promoted deification of Nimrod and herself after his death. She contributed substantially to the mystery religion of Babylon.

God’s judgement and Nimrod’s execution forced the mystery religion underground. Its adherents realized the danger of practicing their religion in the public domain. Hence, the name ‘mystery religion of Babylon’ refers to its secretive nature. Semiramis commanded total authority over her subjects and clandestinely indoctrinated the priesthood with this mystery religion. Priests and astrologers obeyed her commands, aggressively marketing the mystery religion. Ancient Sumerians knew Semiramis as the goddess Inanna. Ancient Babylonians knew Inanna as Ishtar. The world of antiquity deified Semiramis as Queen of Heaven and Queen of the gods. Goddess worship became wildly popular wherever it was introduced. Nations became intoxicated with the worship of this woman. The mystery religion (5) of Babylon incorporated human deification, Satan worship, and astrology in cultic religious services. Astrologers corrupted the signs of the zodiac to authenticate their new religion. The mystery religion of Babylon was replete with cultic rituals of prostitution, idol worship, child sacrifice, magic, divination, and animal sacrifice. Priests, diviners, magicians and prostitutes all participated regularly in the cultic rituals. The Bible is filled with examples of mediums, astrologers, diviners, temple prostitutes, and child sacrifice, which were all associated with this mystery religion in various civilizations of the ancient world.

Part 6: Conclusion:

Biblical and historical accounts attribute the world’s first anti-christ-like person to Nimrod, the world’s mystery religion to Semiramis – “the Queen of Heaven” and the city surrounding the Tower of Babel as the world’s first capital of an empire. Interestingly, Semiramis served the role as a “false prophet” for Nimrod and instigated the spread of Babylon’s mystery religion. The Bible’s book of Revelation is complete with many verses referencing a future time, during the Tribulation, when another city, mystery religion, dictatorial ruler and empire will arise and dominate the world. Their influence on the world will be EXACTLY as that during Nimrod’s time. It is the intent of this book to suggest that the future version of Nimrod’s vision is becoming manifest in the vision and creation of the great city being called NEOM, in the land of Shur (modern day Saudi Arabia). In order to understand this future city in the period known as the Tribulation, we have to understand first the world of Nimrod, Semiramis and Babel. NEOM will arise from the sands and mountains in what is known today as Saudi Arabia!

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

Romans 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
