Nimrod Knew Something Your Church Never Told You
They all say Nimrod was a rebel. A villain. The builder of Babel.
But here’s what they never told you:
The bow wasn’t for decoration. It was a battle warning—a sign of judgment withheld, not peace promised.
“I set My bow in the clouds.” (Genesis 9)
Same word used for a warrior’s weapon: קֶשֶׁת (qeshet).
They swapped the war bow for a rainbow.
They turned awe into softness.
They forgot Yhwh is still a God of war.
“Yhwh is a God of war.” (Exodus 15:3)
They never told you the Hebrew truth:
Genesis 10: Nimrod is called a “mighty hunter,” a city-builder—not a rebel.
There’s no curse, no rebellion, no Tower of Babel linked to him in the Hebrew text.
The Tower comes later, without Nimrod even mentioned.
Later rabbis made up legends.
Church teachers repeated them.
Preachers stopped reading Hebrew and started repeating hearsay.
Scripture doesn’t hide it:
This is Yhwh’s real arsenal—a warrior-God who judges.
“I have set My bow in the clouds…” (Genesis 9:13)
Not a new symbol.
Not just pretty colors.
A real weapon, laid down—but not forgotten.
Every time survivors saw it, they remembered:
Yhwh judged the world once. He could do it again.
Nimrod didn’t rebel.
He knew better.
He saw the bow. He heard the story.
The church didn’t tell you because they forgot the fear.
They lost the Hebrew.
They lost the war bow.
But the Scriptures still speak.
