Gen 10:9 KJV He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
"...before the LORD."
Many a time, men are oblivious of the obvious fact that we are before the LORD of the whole earth. This world that we transverse all belong to Him. "For in him we live, and move, and have our being..." Everything we do in this life is done before Him. Yet many disregard Him, having no care that we are before Him, who Himself is the Mighty One, incomparable.
This was the case with our subject, Nimrod, in the holy verse above. He was a hunter, a mighty one at that, and, much more, before the LORD!
Of all beasts that are known for hunting, the wolf is used in the Holy Book to describe a daring character before the LORD: a grievous wolf! The Lord Jesus Christ talks about wolves in sheep clothing. Such disguise is part of the hunting skill of the wolf.
Many a hunting wolf in the world of religion are scheming night and day to pervert unwary souls with their perverse speakings, targeted at drawing disciples after themselves. You know them by their fruits. They preach about their own qualities to endear your Darling soul to their charge. But alas, this thing is done before the LORD, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD!
Act 20:29-32 KJV 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
