• But the next Empire of the Bible which we want to examine is the Babylonian Empire. Like the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonian Empire is very ancient. Its origins, too, also go back to the table of nations in Genesis chapter 10.
• v.8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
• Babel in this verse is Babylon, and if we do a search on the Strong’s Number, we find that it is translated almost everywhere as Babylon.
