i personaly think rob skiba makes a good argument for nimrod being the Antichrist.
as anyone who has studied Osiris Isis, etc knows the significance in the mystery schools. it does seem like they are waiting for him to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix.
anyway here is an excerpt from one of his blogs on the subject.
www.babylonrisingblog.com/TheFirstLast.html (quoted directly from website)
"After God foiled Nimrod's plans, the population of the world was divided into 70 nations, each ruled by an angelic principality and each people group telling stories of the god-man who was their leader. He went by many names. Each of those names carried with it a legend, story or myth that involved the concept of resurrection.
We ended the last section by drawing attention to some of the various names Nimrod has been known by, focusing specifically on the names Gilgamesh, Osiris and Orion.
What I find interesting about the usual depiction of Orion is that he has a lion in one hand and a club in the other. He is also facing Taurus the bull. Bull worship was very popular in the days leading up to and during the time of Moses. Bull worship was also strongly associated with Baal (who is yet another name for Nimrod as noted above). So, here you have a mighty hunter facing a bull about to smash a lion... or so he thinks.
We know that one of the titles for Jesus is, "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah." Even as we look at the imagery to the left and we contemplate the Last Days, it may be tempting to think that the Anti-Christ is winning the battle. He has his hand raised to strike the Savior. It looks pretty bleak doesn't it?
But recently, the Lord brought me to another passage of Scripture that fits this analogy perfectly. Now, when I look at the arrogance of Nimrod/Orion, I can not help but think of Revelation 5:5:
Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed..."
And when we keep reading, we are reminded that we win in the end. The club of Nimrod will never strike the head of the Lion. In fact, just the opposite is going to happen. The seed of the woman will finally crush the head of the serpent, just as the first prophecy in the Bible says![1] But I'm getting ahead of myself.
In the Old Testament, one phrase stands out above all others as a description for the Anti-Christ. That phrase is, "the Assyrian." Look again at the picture of Orion and consider this passage from Isaiah 10:5:
“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath!" [emphasis mine]
The Lord goes on to address this individual again in chapter 14:24,25:
The LORD Almighty has sworn,
“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,
and as I have purposed, so it will happen.
I will crush the Assyrian in my land;
on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke will be taken from my people,
and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
[emphasis mine]
There is much that could be written concerning the Assyrian in scripture, but this is all I really need to write about here to make my point. For more amazing insights on the Assyrian, click here to read the article Peter Goodgame wrote for Raiders News Network.
Nimrod was known as a mighty hunter. Orion was known as the mighty hunter. And so was Gilgamesh. Notice the quote in the middle bump-out of the BBC article above. It is from a portion of Tablet 1 of the Epic of Gilgamesh. The extended version of that passage reads:
Who can compare with him in kingliness?
Who can say like Gilgamesh: "I am King!"?
Whose name, from the day of his birth, was called "Gilgamesh"?
Two-thirds of him is god, one-third of him is human.
[emphasis mine]
Compare that with, Revelation 13:3-4:
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Note: According to the Book of Jasher, Esau cut off the head of Nimrod/Gilgamesh/Osiris/Orion![2]
And they worshipped the dragon
which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?
[emphasis mine]
Why would the whole world call a man "the Beast" and follow him? I believe this will happen because:
so many cultures already have some sort of connection to him (through myth, legend and/or religion)
something seriously freaky happened - like a mortal "head wound" being healed and
the man was a giant - a beast!
when this 4,000 year old "beast" rises up from under the Giza plateau (out of the water), it will truly be an astonishing, miraculous sight! A modern day, giant Frankenstein, god-man rising from the dead!
Cue the freaky music and the thunder sound effects as the people shout, "It's aliiiiiiiiive!"
Let's take a closer look at this "Beast." Revelation 17 confirms once and for all who the End Time Anti-Christ is going to be. Further, I will show you what I believe to be absolute proof, straight from the lips of Jesus that seems to confirm this theory.
Revelation 17 is where John sees the vision of the Beast with seven heads. He is confused as to the meaning of this vision, so the angel tells him what it means.
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
- Revelation 17:8-11 (KJV)
[emphasis mine]
The Beast that was introduced in Revelation 13 is described here in Revelation 17 in more detail. So here we have the "guardrails" or boundaries within which we must stay when considering who the Anti-Christ was, is and will be.
Note that the angel describes the seven headed beast by saying first that we must have wisdom when looking at it. In other words, we are challenged to think this through. The angel then goes on to say that there are seven kings that we need to pay attention to. In context, the creature described here is one with seven heads, meaning there have been seven individuals in history that were all of one "body" - that of Anti-Christ. The angel tells John that five have fallen, one currently is (at the time of John) and another will come, but reign only for a short time.
Peter Goodgame believes the following individuals represent the seven "heads" of the Beast (and I tend to agree).
1. Nimrod - without a doubt, he is the first anti-Christ figure described in the Bible.
2. The Pharaoh of Egypt (at the time of the Exodus) - again a man arose, thinking himself to be a god and whose motives were to enslave and wipe out the children of the One True God.
3. Sennacherib - the king of Assyria who also thought himself to be a god and who sought to rise up against the Holy One of Israel... only to instead be humbled by the Lord and sent home - where he was murdered by his own sons.
4. The king of Tyre - another king first described as a man who thought himself to be a god, then described as Lucifer himself in the Bible.
5. Antiochus Epiphenes - set up an alter to Zeus in the Holy of Holies and offered up a pig as sacrifice creating an abomination in God's Holy Temple. This of course foreshadows what the last Anti-Christ will do in the Third Temple.
Those are arguably the most likely candidates for the "five (who) have fallen."
6. There is some debate about the one who "now is." The identity of this person depends on when John actually wrote the Book of Revelation. It must have been Caesar. But which Caesar was it? Nero or Domitian? The belief I hold to is that it was Nero. He most definitely fits the description of a demon possessed madman, hellbent on destroying God's people.
7. The one who "has not yet come" and shall reign for a short period of time, I believe has to be Adolf Hitler. Again, he definitely fits the description of a demon possessed, viscous world leader who blatantly stood in the face of God. Hitler murdered millions of the Holy One of Israel's people, and he did so in the manner of Luciferian, occult, ritualistic-like fashion - including massive human sacrifice. If he is just a foretaste of what's to come, the last Anti-Christ will truly be a monster, a "weapon of mass destruction" unlike anything ever seen before!
So, here we have all seven (most likely) candidates from history. These are the seven heads of the Beast. But notice the next verse, that very few Bible scholars ever seem to pay much attention to:
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven...
It says that the Beast that was, and is not (and yet shall be) is the EIGHTH who is OF the SEVEN. Actually, the terminology of "was and is NOT and yet shall be" is mentioned a few times in Revelation 17. I believe this is there for those who "have wisdom" to take notice. First of all, it is the antithesis of the description for Jesus in the first few chapters as the One who "was and IS and is to come." Second, it fits the numerous beliefs of the ancient world concerning their dying and resurrecting sun god. But the fact that Revelation 17:11 says that he is "of the seven" means the last and most (in)famous Anti-Christ has to be one of the seven listed above... and will probably embody the traits of all of them combined!
Now, if we look at the description of Revelation 13 again, we find that this individual had a mortal head wound that was miraculously healed. So, looking at the list above, we need to ask which of these had a mortal head wound?
1. Nimrod - Yes!
2. Pharaoh of Egypt - No!
3. Sennacherib (king of Assyria) - No!
4. King of Tyre - No!
5. Antiochus Epiphenes - No!
6. Nero - Yes! (sort of) It is said that he stabbed himself in the throat.
7. Hitler - Yes! (sort of) History says he shot himself in the head, but recent DNA, forensic evidence seems to suggest otherwise.
But for the sake of argument, let's say we have 3 out of 7 who fit that description:
1. Nimrod
2. Nero
3. Hitler
Now, which of those three is an Assyrian who has any connection to Babylon? Only one. Nimrod.
Note: While Sennacherib was indeed an Assyrian, he never had a mortal wound to the head.
Even if the above list of "candidates" is not accurate, I believe a very strong case can be made for at least the first and the last names on that list. We can debate all day long about the rest. The bottom line is, no matter what list you put together for the seven, no person in the recorded history of this planet fits ALL descriptions for the Anti-Christ better than Nimrod. And if we were to apply Occam's razor, "the simplest explanation is more likely the correct one" to this analysis, I believe the results would speak for themselves. So, we can forget any and all notions, theories and/or ideas regarding any current political figure walking this earth. Obama is not the Anti-Christ. Neither is Ahmadinejad, Osama bin Laden, Putin, Prince William or anyone else. No other actor on the world stage fits the part better then Nimrod.
Perhaps the biggest and most recent revelation concerning Nimrod as the Anti-Christ is the "coincidence?" concerning his "percentages" as a god-man. My wife and I were discussing something this morning and she kept talking about the ratio of two-thirds. All of a sudden, another piece of the puzzle fell into place!
"This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666." - Revelation 13:18 (NIV) [emphasis mine]
Notice how the Epic of Gilgamesh states that he was 2/3 god and 1/3 man. Right there you have two extremely important number percentages. One third is (approximately) 33.3%. In the Illuminati and in Secret Societies in general, 33 is a signifacant number - and one we will deal with a lot more In the blog I've titled, "Jesus By The Numbers" (coming soon). In that section, I will show the significance of the number 33 as it pertains to the Nephilim, to Jesus as well as to the rise of the Nephilim and their Anti-Christ. More on that later. Now, as to Nimrod/Gilgamesh's other percentage, you probably already know where I'm going with it. Yes. Two-thirds. If we "calculate the number of the beast" with that "insight" in mind we end up with approximately 66.6% or 666!
All right, let's bring it all together now. We've already built a case for worldwide worship of this man by many other names. He was considered a "god-man" by many cultures. Part god - part man? Hmmmm. Where have we heard that before? Jesus Christ is both God and man. Both were called "the King of kings and Lord of lords." Both have a cross as a symbol. Both are known as a dying and resurrecting figure (though Nimrod has yet to do so). One is the Christ. One is the Anti-Christ... whose "god-number" just so happens to calculate out to 666."
