Nimrod, The Hunter
“He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the hunter before the LORD.” (Genesis 10:9)
In Genesis 10:9, the word hunter is from the Hebrew word tsayid[1] which is more often translated provision, food, food-supply, or victuals. The word paniym[2] is translated "before" in the sense in the face of, before or in stead of. It could be said that “Nimrod was a mighty provider instead of the LORD.”
Before Nimrod and Cain the power of the "State" was in the hands of the individual people. But they did have leaders in voluntary systems of charity and cooperation. Often through small groups of tens the people chose who they would follow in battling the trials of life in the world.
These men were priests of voluntary societies and sometimes judges but they were not kings and rulers over the people. That daily power of choice to support or follow was based on personal knowledge, mutual respect and informed consent.
That voluntary network of men choosing ministers and ministers choosing their own ministers formed a nation of freemen in voluntary support of the weightier matters of justice and mercy.
But Nimrod took that pattern and ruled the people from the top down.
“Our king and our god! Wherefore art thou in fear by reason of a little child? There are myriad upon myriad of princes in thy realm, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and overseers without number. Let the pettiest of the princes go and fetch the boy and put him in prison.” [3]
These are the words of the mighty provider, Nimrod, who ruled over the people as to what they should do with the child who would become Abraham.
Abraham left Ur and also Haran. What was he really doing and how did his Altars help him and the "many souls" who followed his ways? Was Abraham seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness or following the ways of Nimrod and Cain?
The Levites were also “called out” by Moses, just as Jesus called out His ekklesia, the Church. They were the ministers of the communion of common welfare of the people of the Kingdom of God. These were not the strong arm of men who exercised authority but a system of charity. They taught The Ways of God’s kingdom and kept the people together and strong by their system of charity and hope.
The Corban of the Pharisees
It made the word of God to none effect.
Is our Corban making the word of God to none effect today?
http://www.hisholychurch.org/sermon/corban.php
What were the people doing in their pagan Temples?
What purpose did those temples serve in society and by what means were they supported?
- Public religious ceremonies took place outdoors, and not within the temple building. Some ceremonies ended within a temple or shrine, where a ritual object might be stored and brought out for use, or where an offering would be deposited. Sacrifices, like that of animals, would take place at an open-air altar within the templum and were eaten at festivals or distributed to the poor as a part of the public social welfare in the case of public religion.
In Hebrew the word Corban actually means offerings. How can people's offerings upon Altars of sacrifice make the word of God to none effect?
Are those offerings freewill offerings or are they forced by the Nimrod's of the world?
Are the modern Christians participating in the charitable practices found in the Corban of Christ or the covetous practices of the Corban of Nimrod and other men who call themselves Benefactors; providing benefits but exercising authority.
Eating at the table of Nimrod will make you merchandise and curse your children.
Was Nimrod a Provider and Predator?
"Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.” (Proverbs 6:5)
Some Questions
- What was the bondage of Egypt, and why were we to never go back there again?
- Have people given consent to a social compact that might enslave them, like in the days of Egypt?
- Why would the slothful be under tribute?
- Why did the Corban of the Pharisees make the word of God to none effect?
- Why did Jesus say "Call no man Father upon the earth"?
- Why did Jesus say not to be like the rulers who called themselves Benefactors?
- Why did Peter say covetous practices would make us Merchandise and curse children?
- What did Jesus list off as the Weightier matters?
- Why did Jesus command that the people sit down in Tens?
- What is Religion and what is Pure Religion?
- What was Public religion and the imperial Cult of Rome? How did it differ from Pure Religion practiced by early Christians?
- Why did the Church have a Daily ministration?
- How do the Modern Christians differ from the early Church who followed The Way of Christ?
- What were the deeds of the Nicolaitans, and why did God hate those deeds?
- What was the Christian conflict with Rome?
- Are modern Christians actually workers of iniquity?
- Do people today make covenants with the gods of this world because they love the wages of unrighteousness?
- What is the difference between the Baptism of John the Baptist and the Baptism of Herod or Constantine or Rabbinical Baptism?
- Israel was not to have a golden calf but what did that mean?
- What were the altars of earth and stone?
- What are lively stones?
- Was the Sabbath a way or a day?
More Questions
- Were those rituals of ancient societies merely mindless acts of superstition, or were they metaphors?
- What are the rituals of the Church, and do they point to The Way of Christ and God?
- Could Welfare systems of the world be Snares and Traps?
- And what does this all have to do with Nimrod, Cain and Caesar who called themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other?
- What was the Mark of Cain and the Mark of God and even the Mark of the Beast?
- Did Constantine start a different Church not of Christ?
- Why did the people have to sew Breeches for the Levites?

- Do all governments of the world operate according to the ways of God?
- Or do they operate according to the ways of Cain and Nimrod?
- Who were the Nicolaitans, and what did they do that included the error of Balaam, and why does God hate their deeds?
- What was Christ trying to tell us about the Fathers of the earth and who are they?
- And who is The Beloved Anarchist?
- What do you want to do about all this?
To find the answers, we must seek and strive to do what Jesus said the way He said to do it... Including attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.
"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
- One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.
- If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.[4]
- The real Church established by Christ must be the temple of Pure Religion. The temple of God is made of living stones who care about one another in the love of Christ. They function through charity while the Temples of the world force the contributions of the people under the authority of men like Cain and Nimrod.
