NIMROD HAD nothing to do with Babel or Babylon—and they had nothing to do with one another.
This is probably not what you’ve heard about the first great (human) rebel in the Bible, but if this week’s guest is correct, it’s historically accurate. Dr. Douglas Petrovich, author of the new book Nimrod the Empire Builder: Architect of Shock and Awe, explains how identifying Nimrod as the first empire builder in recorded history—a Mesopotamian king whose domain stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean—brings the notorious rebel from the mists of time onto the pages of history.
You can help Dr. Petrovich get the book into print and reprint his previous book, the groundbreaking Origins of the Hebrews, at Doug’s crowdfunding campaign: indiegogo.com/projects/nimrod-the-empire-builder-origins-of-the-hebrews#/

Our Build Barn Better project is making progress! The building now has heat and air conditioning, along with a new floor, windows, insulation, ceiling fans, and an upgraded electrical system. The final stage: Paneling the walls and moving our studios and book/DVD warehouse and shipping office out of our home and across the yard into the Barn. Thank you for making this project possible! If you are so led, you can help out at GilbertHouse.org/donate.
