Thesis 19: Nimrod: The First Politician (Post-Flood)

Nimrod, following Cain’s error, left the Godly Family to form a “State.”[1] His name means “let us rebel.”[2]

Notes
1. Genesis 10:8-12
2. cf. 1 Samuel 15:23; Revelation 18:23

Nimrod: Old Testament Hebrew - StudyLight.org

By the time we get to the account of Nimrod, God has not said to man, "Form the State." Formation of the State is the act of rebels, not saints.
