Nimrod: Mighty Hunter of Ancient Babylon

February 3, 2026

Nimrod lived in ancient Babylon. He was the grandson of Ham. Remember that Ham was the father of Cush and Cush was the father of Nimrod.

Genesis 10:6-8

  • And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
  • And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
  • 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.

He lived after the flood. The cities that he created are Akkad, Babylon, and Uruk. All are in present day Iraq. The biblical cities of Babylon, Akkad, and Uruk are not pinpointed with modern-day coordinates. However, they are generally believed to be located in the modern-day region of Iraq, specifically in the Mesopotamian area.

  • Babylon: Often associated with the modern city of Kuşteşh, Iraq, which is part of the ancient city complex of Babylon.
  • Akkad: The exact location of Akkad is debated among historians, but it is commonly believed to be in the modern-day region of Iraq, possibly between the cities of Babylon and Sippar.
  • Uruk: Uruk, also known as Tall al Warka, is located in present-day S Iraq.

These cities played significant roles in ancient Mesopotamia, contributing to the development of trade, administration, and culture. Their historical significance continues to be studied and referenced in biblical texts and archaeological findings.

Babylon

  • Strong’s H894 – bāḇel
    • בָּבֶל Bâbel, baw-bel’; from H1101; confusion; Babel (i.e. Babylon), including Babylonia and the Babylonian empire:—Babel, Babylon.
  • Outline of Biblical Usage 
    • Babel or Babylon = “confusion (by mixing)”
    • Babel or Babylon, the ancient site and/or capital of Babylonia (modern Hillah) situated on the Euphrates
  • Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon
    • (in Assyrian written Bab-ilu, gate of god)

The principal cities of Nimrod’s Mesopotamian kingdom were Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.

Genesis 10:10

  • And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

From the land of Babylon Nimrod went and built Nineveh. This is referenced to in the book of Micah.

Micah 5:6

  • And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

Ninevah in what is now present-day Northern Iraq.

The name of Nimrod is probably not of Hebrew origin. The meaning and origin is uncertain. It may be Mesopotamian originating from Akkadian (Northern Babylon) god of war and hunting, Ninurta, who was called “the arrow, the mighty hunter”.

Some scholars believe that Nimrod was Sargon the Great, a powerful ruler over Accad who lived about 2300 BC.

In 1 Chronicles 1:10 (ESV) it refers to Nimrod as the 1st warrior of the land. In other translations it says “He began to be a mighty man on the earth“.

  • Cush fathered Nimrod. He was the first on earth to be a mighty man.

Jesús y la parábola de la oveja perdida explicada

February 2, 2026

Durante una fuerte tormenta reciente, fui a ver a mis animales. Primero encontré a mis cuatro gatos, y el perro estaba a mis pies. Luego, fui a ver a las gallinas. Estaban todas, excepto una. Así que salí bajo la intensa lluvia a buscar a mi gallina. Después de encontrarla y asegurarme de que estuviera a salvo, pensé en Jesús y la parábola del buen pastor.

La parábola de la oveja perdida

Todos los publicanos y pecadores se acercaban a Jesús para oírle. Pero los fariseos y los escribas murmuraban, diciendo: «Este hombre recibe a los pecadores y come con ellos». Entonces Jesús les contó esta parábola: «¿Quién de vosotros, si tiene cien ovejas y pierde una, no deja las noventa y nueve en el campo y va en busca de la que se ha perdido hasta encontrarla? Y cuando la encuentra, la pone sobre sus hombros, lleno de alegría. Al llegar a casa, reúne a sus amigos y vecinos y les dice: “Alegraos conmigo, porque he encontrado mi oveja perdida”. Os digo que de la misma manera, habrá más alegría en el cielo por un pecador que se arrepiente que por noventa y nueve justos que no necesitan arrepentimiento». Lucas 15:1-7

El pastor de la parábola deja a las 99 ovejas en un lugar seguro. Sale a la intemperie y busca a su oveja perdida. No se detiene hasta encontrarla. Luego la lleva de regreso a un lugar seguro.

Esta es también una imagen de lo que Jesús ha hecho por nosotros. Jesús vino a buscar y a salvar a los perdidos. Nosotros éramos incapaces de redimirnos a nosotros mismos. Por eso, Jesús vino a la tierra y soportó las inclemencias del tiempo. Sufrió muchas dificultades, fue golpeado y crucificado, todo por amor a nosotros. «Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna». Juan 3:16

Así como mi amor por mis animales me impulsó a salir bajo la lluvia torrencial para buscar a mi gallina, el amor de Jesús por ti y por mí lo trajo del cielo, solo por ti y por mí. Yo solo me mojé con la lluvia. Jesús fue golpeado y asesinado por las mismas personas a las que vino a salvar. Piensa en cuánto amor tiene por nosotros.

Understanding Tu B’Shevat: Jewish New Year for Trees

When Is Tu B´Shevat?

Tu Bishvat: Tu B’Shevat (or Tu Bishvat) marks the “birthday of the fruit trees” under Jewish law, and is often celebrated by a symbolic meal and tree planting activities. This Jewish holiday occurrson the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. It is also called Rosh HaShanah La’Ilanot (ראש השנה לאילנות‎), literally “New Year to the Trees”. In contemporary Israel, the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day, and trees are planted in celebration.

Fruit, Nuts and Planting

Some Jewish people gather with family and friends to celebrate Tu B´Shevat by serving a seder (holiday meal) of dried fruit and nuts, red wine and grape juice. Pickled etog, a type of citrus, is often a featured dish at these festivities.

Other Jewish people celebrate by planting trees or joining in on efforts to raise environmental awareness. To many, it is considered the Jewish equivalent of Arbor Day.

Background

In some interpretations of Jewish law, any fruit that grows in the first three years after a tree starts bearing is called orlah, meaning it’s not kosher and can’t be eaten. Tu B’Shevat celebrates the “new year” or “birthday” of trees, and fruit that ripens in the third year on or after the 15th of Shevat is considered kosher. Traditionally, fruit from the fourth year was brought to the temple as a tithe, but today this is done symbolically with coins.

  • Leviticus 19:23-25
    • ‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall consider their fruit forbidden. For three years the fruit shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten.  In the fourth year all the fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord.  In the fifth year you may eat the fruit [of the trees], this is so that their yield may increase for you; I am the Lord your God.

After 1600 CE, some Jewish communities began holding a symbolic seder on Tu B’Shevat, featuring various fruits and nuts, each with its own spiritual meaning. This tradition is still observed by certain Jewish groups today.

Tu B’Shevat is one of the four Jewish new years. Among the most well-known is Rosh Hashanah, celebrated on the first day of Tishrei. The New Year for kings and festivals falls on the first day of Nisan, and the New Year for animal tithes is observed on the first day of Elul.

Symbols

Important symbols of Tu B’Shevat include different types of dried fruit arranged on a platter, flowering almond trees and the “seven species”. These are:

  • Barley.
  • Dates.
  • Figs.
  • Grapes.
  • Olives.
  • Pomegranates.
  • Wheat.

The seven species are associated with the Land of Israel in the Torah so they have an important place in Jewish culture.

Green Day

In recent years,Tu B’Shevat has come to be primarily an environmental holiday. Many Jews use this day as an opportunity to remind themselves of their scriptural duty to care to be good stewards for God’s creation, or the natural world.

Many Jews honor the day by taking part in a tree-planting ceremony, or collecting and sending money to Israel for tree planting efforts there.

Others celebrate by picking fruits and vegetables at farms, starting herb gardens, building birdhouses, or organizing beach and park clean-up activities.

La Casa Construida Sobre la Arena

La Casa Construida Sobre la Arena

¡Qué insensato debió ser el constructor de la casa que vemos en la imagen! Claro que, cuando sopló el viento y las olas azotaron la casa, esta se derrumbó. ¡Miren cómo el mar ha erosionado los cimientos y cómo se está cayendo el tejado! Y la gente, ¡miren cómo huye para salvar sus vidas! Y toda esta calamidad por haber construido su casa sobre la arena. Pero la otra casa, la que se ve a lo lejos: ¡qué firme se mantiene! ¡Qué imponente resiste las olas y con qué seguridad soporta la furia de la tormenta! Sus cimientos son sólidos, porque descansan sobre roca firme.

La Casa Construida Sobre la Arena

Jesús había estado enseñando a la gente. Les había enseñado muchas verdades maravillosas, que encontrarán escritas en los capítulos quinto, sexto y séptimo de Mateo; y al concluir, dijo: «Cualquiera que oye estas palabras mías y las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre prudente que edificó su casa sobre la roca. Cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes, soplaron los vientos y golpearon contra aquella casa; pero no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca. Y cualquiera que oye estas palabras mías y no las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre insensato que edificó su casa sobre la arena. Cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes, soplaron los vientos y golpearon contra aquella casa; y cayó, y grande fue su ruina». La lección que Jesús quiso inculcar a la gente con esta parábola era que no basta con simplemente oír lo que Él dice. Muchos lo harán; pero solo aquellos que recuerdan los mandamientos de Cristo y los cumplen, verán que su obra perdurará cuando llegue el tiempo de la prueba.

The Lukewarm Church: A Warning

To the Church at Laodicea

Revelation 3:14-11

  • And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
  • I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
  • So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
  • Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
  • I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
  • As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
  • Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
  • To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
  • He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

History

Laodicea was located about 50 miles southeast of Philadelphia, in the Lycus River
valley near Colossae and Hierapolis (cf. Col. 4:13-16). It was also located forty miles from Ephesus and was steeped in Greek culture. The city (and region) had experienced many earthquakes over the years.

The city was a cultural center with schools, libraries, and a banking center that brought strong economic and financial resources.
Two widely used eye and ear salves were produced in the city, as it was also a well-known medical center of its day. Its name means “People Ruling,” and represents the unbelieving, materialistic church of all ages.

Notes

  • Christ is the beginning of the creation of God in the sense that He is the origin and source of God’s creation
    • Col. 1:15-18
      •  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
      • For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
      • And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
      • And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
  • Christ is the head of the new creation
    • 2 Cor. 5:17
      • Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
  • The church is likened to lukewarm water, or as being virtually worthless, Christ says He will “spew them out,” or eject them from His company.
    • The hot waters of nearby Hierapolis were known for their medicinal qualities
    • Colossae was known for its cold, pure water.
    • Laodicea was forced to receive water by aqueduct from other areas. By the time it arrived at Laodicea it was lukewarm and provoked nausea.
      • The works of the Laodicean church were as worthless as the city’s lukewarm water.
        • The description does not refer to a backslidden condition, but rather to their lack of genuine faith.
  • Laodicea was famous for its wealth, its bankers, its medical school, its popular eye salve, and its textile industry.
    • Christ says that spiritually the people of the church are poor, blind, and naked.
    • True wealth is found only in God’s grace. This church had no spiritual value (gold), virtue (white raiment), or vision (eye salve).
      • He urges the Laodiceans to repent of their lack of genuine faith and of spiritual understanding.
  • In light of the spiritual condition of the Laodiceans described in verses 17, 18, the invitation of verse 20 seems to be evangelistically addressed to individual members of an apostate church, so they might receive Christ genuinely as Savior and Lord.
    • To sup (dine) means to have fellowship (cf. ; ) and to enjoy Christ’s blessings.
      • Luke 22:30
        • That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
      • John 14:23
        • Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
    • The promise to sit with Christ in His throne refers to reigning with Christ in His kingdom.
      • Matt. 19:28
        • And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
      • Rev. 20:4
        • And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Candlemas Day

Candlemas Day, observed on February 2, is a Christian festival that celebrates the Presentation of the Lord, when baby Jesus was brought to the Temple by his parents in keeping with Jewish tradition. Falling 40 days after Christmas, it marks the close of the Christmas season.
Candlemas gets its name from the old tradition of blessing candles and handing them out to worshipers. The candles bring to mind the lights of Christmas and also represent Simeon’s words to Mary and Joseph in Luke 2:32, describing Jesus as “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Candlemas Day was once a celebration of Mary’s purification following Jesus’ birth, but today the focus has shifted more toward honoring Jesus himself.

Luke 2:22-40

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

  • Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them,

  • and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord,

  • and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Strength in God: Armor of Faith

I love you O Lord, you are my strength.  You are my rock and my deliverer. You are my light and my saver, who should I fear?

You, God, set my feet on the rock. You Shield me with love; I put my faith in you; So, I may quench all the fiery darts
of the wicked one.

You help me. Stand with the belt of truth, and the breast plate of righteousness.

I stand in your word, I hid it in my heart, I will stand ready to tell others of you, God. You help me put on the shoes of the Gospel of peace.


I will call upon your name God for your name is worthy to be praised
I will stand for you, for you, are my saver, I will put on the helmet of salvation.

And I will stand with the sword of the spirit, which is your word, that I have hid in my heart.


That I may stand in your light and love.

Bible verses:

  • Psalm 18:1
    • I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
    • The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower
  • Psalm 27:1
    •  The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
  • Ephesians 6:16
    • Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

  • Psalm 119:11
    • Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
  • 2 Timothy 4:2
    • Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
  • 1 Peter 18:3
    •  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Understanding Groundhog Day: History and Traditions

Groundhog Day comes from a tradition brought to America by people from Germany and Great Britain. They believed it was a time to predict the weather for the next six weeks. According to legend, the groundhog, or woodchuck, wakes from its long winter sleep on February 2 and pokes its head out of its burrow. If the sun is shining and it sees its shadow, it gets scared and retreats underground, meaning six more weeks of winter. But if it’s cloudy and there’s no shadow, it stays outside, signaling that spring is on its way. Science, however, hasn’t confirmed this belief.

In the United States as Ground-hog Day is more whimsical. On this day, everyone listens for reports of Punxsutawney Phil, the nation’s “official” groundhog.
