Genesis 10, the Genealogy of Noah

Gen 10:8-9, Cush begot NIMROD; HE BEGAN TO BE A MIGHTY ONE ON THE EARTH. He was a MIGHTY HUNTER before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” 

From the commentaries I’ve read Nimrod was not a game hunter, but a hunter of men! He made himself great in the sight of men because of his conquest and brutality!

Psa 52:7, “Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.” 

Gen 10:32, These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and From These The Nations Were Divided On The Earth After The Flood. 

Just to imagine that Noah is our great…. great grandfather is surprising, but GOD used this family to fill the earth!

Evil again started to fill the earth, people started to do what’s right in their own hearts and leaving their Creator aside! Like Solomon once said,

Ecc 7:20, FOR THERE IS NOT A JUST MAN ON EARTH WHO DOES GOOD AND DOES NOT SIN. 

O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? HIS NAME IS JESUS!
