Nimrod the Great (in his mind)

     In the tenth chapter, we read about the peoples that formed from Noah and his family. One of those descendants was a man named Nimrod. He is called a mighty hunter before God. One might even call him the first tyrant. When he was through, all peoples had come to dwell in one place. Under his arrogant leadership, they planned to "make a name for themselves." In other words, they wanted to seek glory for themselves rather than their creator.
    The other problem was that they sought to defy God's command to subdue the whole Earth. They didn't want to be apart from each other. So rather than wiping them out and starting over, he forced them apart by confusing their language.
     One of the sure signs that a society is becoming more anti-theistic is when they start to clamor for world unity. It sounds good on the surface, but it reeks of pride and arrogance underneath.
      Allow me to be clear. We were not created to supplant our creator, but to serve and glorify him.
