  • I can wholeheartedly say this is the best video on Nimrod I've ever seen, as it is the only video on Nimrod I've ever seen.
  • Nimrod walked away from the tower of Babel with 70 different names, 70 different languages, now, let that sink in a minute
  • I always find it amazing how many people don't believe in the Bible but use it as the basis of their understanding
  • @bingoseen
    We still use the name Nimrod in Egypt, we pronounce it: Namroud. and we use it to describe someone who is not grateful of the gifts he receives as in "that person is "namroud" would mean that this person is not being grateful for what he received or "Don't be a namroud" would mean don't go Nimrod mode
  • Nimrod is depicted in the bible as a hunter because he is also known as the first army leader of the world, his army actually behaved like a group of hunting groups that carried out their conquests as hunting expeditions. Before Nimrod, there was no army, only hunting groups. So to be a great hunter and an expert in hunting, then meant to be a great military leader and an expert in warfare.
  • I think a “biblical archaeology” playlist would be nice just to keep things organized, this series is awesome. Would never have known all this without this channel, thanks IP.
  • One of the clearest and most articulate videos I've ever watched. Thank you!
  • It's also worth noting that in genealogy in the bible, daughters were very rarely listed. It's highly possible for someone to be a descendant of an important figure without their line being able to be traced back to one of that figure's sons.
  • I like how true IP is. He doesn’t try to make some far out speculative theory on Nimrod. Rather he just follows the evidence. Good work!!!
  • LOL sorry this is random... but i couldn't help but think of how people used to call other people "Nimrod's" when they did something dumb.. 🤷‍♂️🤣
  • @gio-pv3yp
    Wanted to drop a comment and say this is so well made! Thank you for creating this, it makes it easier to understand the Bible, significance, events, and locations with everything provided :) ✨
  • I remember my mom used to call me you are Namrood when I was a kid, in Arabic نمرود، it means someone that doesn’t appreciate things giving to you.
  • I'm not a believer in christianity or any religion honestly but I am now subscribed. These video are extremely well done, your voice isnt annoying, and the content is very interesting. Keep it up man
  • I’m loving your work! I found you from the Pints with Aquinas interview - Praise God
  • @jtorie1
    Cush is Nimrod's dad, which is confirmed in 1 chronicles as well. He isn't mentioned with Cush's other children bc they had different mothers. The book of Jasher says that Cush had a wife in his old age and had Nimrod.
  • Genesis 10:7 lists Cush’s other sons but verse 8 goes on to say Cush begot Nimrod. So yes Nimrod was a direct son of Cush
  • My dear son child you are one heck of a detective I don't know how many times I've heard all those stories in different books and different applications and you brought everything together you are doing one heck of a job I admire them bravo
