Here's an extract i found from another thread:
"Ham and his wife Semeramus had a son named Cush who started the city where Babel was built. Semeramus married her son and they had a son named Nimrod who built the tower in Babel plus founded Ninevah and Babylon. They began a religion together that has lasted the ages and influenced all others even today. The tower he built was an observation tower. Nimrod knew certain things astronomically were about to happen and this knowledge would be hinder certain things later that God needed to people to not know about. When God saw what Nimrod was about to figure out he stated there is nothing hid from him and destroyed the tower. He caused everyone to forget the one language everyone knew and left them with just sub dialects from it.
I wont go into what Nimrod was about to figure out or what his influence in the ages has become."
What was Nimrod about to find out and why were the languages confused and scattered?

Nimrod---Genesis 10: 8,9
1 Chronicles 1:10
Micah 5:6
Genesis 10: 8,9 And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord.
VS. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah,.....
after the flood
In chapter 11 we read about the tower of Babel.
God confused their languages because of their evil imaginations of Getting to heaven without God. They were trying to build a tower to reach heaven VS.4
In Plain words and I mean absolutely no disrespect at all...
GOD SHOWED THEM WHO IS BOSS HE IS IN CHARGE AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
God showed them his mighty POWER.
God scattered the people abroad, upon the face of the earth VS 9
Nimrod found out that God is Almighty and You can not Go to heaven on your own.

Nimrod and the people built the tower for self-glorification. The tower was in opposition to God. God had told the people to scatter and replenish the earth. They did not want to obey this, so they united to build the tower. God knew they were trying to overstep their power. In order to stop this, He put up a barrier by confounding their language. They stopped building the tower and the people began moving away. They couldn't even understand each other to finish building the tower.

Nimrod was attempting to create a new religion where he would be leader and have people follow him, and he was making them believe he could get them all to heaven with his tower. And he was finding out that the people were gullible enough to listen and follow. Rather than have him mislead hundreds or thousands of people into the wrong path, God destroyed the tower, confounded the languages, and forced the people to scatter, leaving Nimrod powerless and hopefully humbled.

they started worshiping the devil, (satanism) and so god crushed the tower of babylon and confused the people by changing all thier languages, and they scattered to places all over the world. Nimrod was using the power of Satan (who was decieving him anyway) to try to predict the end of the world, like so many other people.
In the future, Babylon will be the center of the Anti-christ's rule, because he's pretty much the devil in the flesh.

Whoever wrote that confused the accout of Nimrod (Gen10:7-9) with the account of the tower of Babel (Gen 11).
It is a ficticious story which combines two true accounts.

If you research biblical history you will find Nimrod started what is now the Catholic religion. He wanted to be a king, so he had a costume designed. He wanted his own religion, so he ordained homosexuals as priests and lesbians as nuns. The robe and pointed hat the pope wears today is the exact robe Nimrod had designed..check it out some time.
