Nimrod, The Hunter
Providers and Predators

Before Nimrod and Cain the power of the "State" was in the hands of the individual people. But they had 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. They were priests and sometimes judges but they were not kings and rulers. That daily choice to follow was based on personal knowledge and mutual 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 it 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.” [1]
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.
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?

- Public religious ceremonies took place outdoors, and not within the temple building. Some ceremonies ended with 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 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.
- 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.
Not of the World?
What did Jesus really say, to whom, and why about his kingdom?
