Nimrod was a prodigy, as his brothers were born powerless!!It almost seemed as if he stole all of the powers supposed to go to them, and added them to his even before he or they were born.
Cush knew the importance of that, and mistakenly attributed it to a prophecy!
Everybody grew up holding Nimrod to a great stature.
He"d walk out as a prince and have people serving him whatever he pleases.
He was a silent mysterious child, would only speak when it"s most needed.
But he always loved to show his great powers to the people.
Whenever a danger comes, be it natural or human he"d protect them.
At first they thought it"s because of his righteous nature, even he at first thought so...
After the departure of his father into the land of Cush, Nimrod was the obvious choice as the king.
He started by expanding his territory, and built Babel, Erech, and Akkad.
3 of the greatest Babylonian cities.
There is a difference between a ruler and a king, Nimrod was the first king of this world.
A strong built man, a manly face covered with a dense brown beard, eyes as sharp as a knife, a face only able to show anger and discontent!
His muscles were as hard as steel, neither too big nor too small.
Stoon Tall between the Tallests
Always wearing a red coat reaching on to his legs, and stays topless no matter the weather.
Beside the physical power, Nimrod had the power of fire!
He could control it as he pleases, either start or put it down.
But what made people bow down to his greatness, was the fact that he could give life to who the people thought were having their last breath!
With a touch of his big mighty hands, they"d get back their health as if nothing was before!!
So he had 3 of the major Atlantean powers.
Physicality, Fire and Healing.
At the time, no one would dare call himself as strong.
Nimrod grew bored of his peaceful reign, and felt alienated from his people because of the power disparity.
He grew up with no friends or companions, his brothers themselves were usually afraid of him.
His only friend the whole time, was Beelzebub!!
He had the ability to see Devils and Jinnies, and he would not care in his earlier years thinking that everybody could do the same.
Until he learnt from Beelzebub himself that he"s the only one able to do so.
Once, when Nimrod was sitting lonely in his majestic throne, Beelzebub payed him a special visit.
An order straight from Satan,
it was time...
Beelzebub. "...It"s a sign of ascendence, a sign of supreme power.
Have you not think that whenever you heal the dead, people would praise G.o.d before they would praise you?"
Nimrod. "Yes I do, that"s what my father also teached us.
Although it feels sick sometimes but..."
Beelzebub. "But what? Your majesty...
Let me ask you a question.
Who"s G.o.d?"
Nimrod was never asked such question before, nor thought about it much...
"...G.o.d is..."
He stayed silent and gave it more thought, then continued.
"....G.o.d is the most powerful!"
Beelzebub. "Indeed Sir, For sure this creation has its creator..
But he abondonned it long ago! Everything is run through humans now..
You, your father and Uncles, all having to rule this earth.
But none of them have what you have...
Powers no other human can surpa.s.s!
You give life and take it, you save your people and a.s.sure them a calm happy life.
Everything..in your hands!
Why wouldn"t you be another G.o.d yourself?
You got everything to be that if you ask me."
Nimrod rejected the thought of it at first, and grabbed Beelzebub by the throat!!
It is safe to say that even Beelzebub wasn"t as mighty as Nimrod.
If a fight would happen between the two, Nimrod will be victorious!
Although it would take him a lot.
So Beelzebub appologised quickly, and Nimrod let go of him.
Nimrod said. "...It feels sick, what you"re saying.
But I can see why would you think like that!"
Beelzebub grinned.
"...I am glad you understood me your majesty.
For the moment, I"ll have to go now. I hope you think more of what I said."
Nimrod effectively thought very much of what Beelzebub told him, his only companion.
"...What has G.o.d whom we praised has given us?
Except misery and pain.
Then whose to rescue?
Me!!!
Me....
Always attributing these powers to him... When in fact they"re mine, i control them how i want!
*Nimrod lights his hand in flames*
"...How would the fire of h.e.l.l even hurt me?
Me who controls the mightiest flames and puts them with a single blow of my breath...
I do not doubt you as a creator, but I doubt you as a true perfect G.o.d...
G.o.d!!!!"
He screamed loudly.
This soliloquy was the start of something, terrible...
After days, Nimrod stayed for the most part in his castle.
Just thinking and thinking...Until he came to a decision.
He orderred all his people and politicians of the time to a great meeting in front of his castle.
And layed down the first foundation stones of his own, new world!!
Those people grew up believing in only one true G.o.d.
This created great confusion in their heart.. Everybody stood silent, in disbelief...
Their righteous king is ordering them to be...Their new worshipped G.o.d!!
Nimrod has completely convinced himself of this, in his mind he"s now The absolute king!!
Whomever had another opinion, was taken into exile, prison, or sentenced to death in front of everybody.
This was the first act of such nature...
Showing how firm and ruthless Nimrod was.
After not so long, people had no other choice but to fall in line, some also truly believed Nimrod.
Cush"s mistake was telling that Nimrod is a G.o.d"s prophecy, and so it made it easier in their mind to believe him, if Nimrod said he"s the new G.o.d...Then he might as well be.
But he had a huge complex towards G.o.d.
It"s as if it bothered him that he would not act immediatly towards what he would think is disrespectful and wrong.
He"d share these thoughts with Beelzebub once.
"...Why would he not come and save them?
Does he even exist?"
Beelzebub. "...He does your majesty."
Nimrod. "Then explain to me... I can not find an explanation.
My father lied to us...
He is no Great G.o.d...He is just G.o.d!"
Beelzebub. "...You"re great indeed, but it is possible that he doesn"t see you as a real threat...
That he"ll deal with you whenever he wants.
Could it be that you"re...not worthy of his action yet?"
Beelzebub knew exactly what he was doing, it was to make Nimrod even more furious.
"....Could it be?
So..I haven"t gained enough of your attention it seems"
*Nimrod looks at the heavens from the window of his castle*
"....Alright, we"ll see about that."
Nimrod says, as he again looking at the sky.
