What the Bible says about Nimrod:

Genesis 10:8-10
Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shina

The Bible definitely makes claims that he is a historical figure, and as a book it has all the hallmarks of being a historical account. Examples of this is; real people, places and customs described in accurate detail.

There are in addition to the European Union several other organizations, groups and individuals dedicated to a world without borders. Another notable example would be the Bilderberger group.

It is not flesh and blood behind these ideas. Powers and principalities.
They will be somewhat successful in that they will have their one-world government (Revelation 13:3). It is a project doomed to failure though because it is not God-centered (See Daniel 2).

As an aside: I just want to point something out because I see the Christian community hypocritically speaking against the following, calling this specific aspect of it disgusting and what not:

The judgments they lift up against "Spirit Cooking", specifically for any "cannibalism" symbolism, equally describe what we do with Jesus Christ / Jesus' very own words (eating His flesh and drinking His blood). So, Christians really should stop speaking against the concept of eating food in representation of a person (no one is literally eating human flesh and blood, only in symbol to communicate a metaphor, as disgusting and offensive as they find it—like many of Jesus' own disciples found offensive too [I'll quote it below; not many are aware of the passage]).

The only legitimate difference is that we don't eat representations of organs (e.g. heart, lungs, eyeballs, tongue, intestines, kidneys, liver, brain, etc; it's never done in Scripture as obedience to YHWH, not even in symbol, so in that particular point there is a difference [if they're doing so], but no difference in the concept of eating people metaphorically. That is Biblical: the Biblical representation is of having that person [namely, Jesus/God/the Word of God] become an integral part of you, nourished by Him, sustained by Him, He's your life).

What's more, these are the same kind of accusations that the early church faced ("you Christians are cannibals and promoting cannibalism with your symbolic rituals"). So eating someone's flesh and blood figuratively (not literally), in and of itself, is nothing for Christians to condemn nor the evidence of a Satanic religion (in the sense of following Satan's ways in contrast to YHWH's).

      • John 6:55-61 (NIV)

        55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

        60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

        61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?

  • Charge: Cannibalism

    CAECILIUS THE PAGAN: You Christians are the worst breed ever to affect the world. You deserve every punishment you can get! Nobody likes you. It would be better if you and your Jesus had never been born. We hear that you are all cannibals--you eat the flesh of your children in your sacred meetings.

    OCTAVIUS The Christian: That story is probably based on reports that we share together a meal of the body and blood of Christ. That we do. But it is not human flesh we eat. It is bread and wine we consecrate to commemorate our Lord's death.

    source: Why Early Christians Were Despised: http://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1-300/why-early-christians-were-despised-11629610.html


But for the record, literal blood (and literal human flesh, like literal unclean animals) is still unclean, by the Spirit's own words in the Book of Acts, all the way in the Book of Revelation; it is not to be eaten. Never has been food, never will be.

      • Acts 15:29 (NIV)

        29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.

        Farewell.

      • Revelation 18:2 (NIV)

        2 With a mighty voice he shouted:

        “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a]
            She has become a dwelling for demons
        and a haunt for every impure spirit,
            a haunt for every unclean bird,
            a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.

        Footnotes:

        a. Revelation 18:2 Isaiah 21:9


Literal uncleanness in the flesh still exists; it means something is pathogenic. You can get sick from it (rotting carcass, eating animals who eat rotting carcasses/rotting matter [e.g. vultures, pigs, rats, flies, roaches, etc—thus unclean animals who filter out what is pathogenic from the environment, the living garbage cans of the planet], consuming blood, roadkill, all kinds of unclean things, including semen, don't eat it).

YHWH's Law is the only legitimate basis we have in condemning literal cannibalism (and the eating of literal unclean things like urine, semen, feces, blood, etc).

And this is not at odds with using something unclean in symbolic representation of something else (e.g. unclean animals in representation of gentiles and accepting them into the body of believers, while not literally accepting / eating the literal unclean animal into your body and digestive system).

Or another representation: your life being nourished and supported by another person, having the other person become a part of your very being, though not literally digesting their bodily parts (e.g. Jesus, eating His flesh and blood symbolically by eating unleavened bread and wine).

Related to the latter, in Katy Perry's case, going by the Bon Appetit music video alluded to above (which when you view it you see: them eating Katy Perry; Katy Perry eating them): they eat each other / are supported by the other; the business people live off of her, her public image, carefully crafted and prepared by a whole staff of people, to be consumed by the public as a celebrity or music artist (feeding off of the words of her mouth), that is what puts the food on their [business executive's] tables [literally, her], and vice versa: by their managing of her image, making her appetizing to the world's lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh, Katy Perry puts food on her table when people consume her and when the business executives are consumed by her [in the sense of being devoted to promoting her], she eats/consumes them too: their time, efforts, money; they feed each other and are each other's food (source of life) because they live off of each other.

All that to say, if people want to condemn "Spirit Cooking" for symbolically eating a person, then they must condemn Jesus' Last Passover Supper too. Eating people in symbol is NOT of the devil when there is a clear Command from Jesus Himself to do it (figuratively, by way of unleavened bread and wine, eating a person/the Word of God, being nourished and sustained by Him, having Him become an integral part of you from the most profound parts of your innermost-being).

If we don't want people to falsely accuse us of practicing cannibalism (and promoting cannibalism), then we can't do it to others.

That said, however, the "Spirit Cooking" by the artist Marina Abramovic, although I would outright call it witchcraft, satanic, and unclean, it's not because of the figurative eating of people, but this...

  • Spirit Cooking, 1996

    Abramović worked with Jacob Samuel to produce a cookbook of "aphrodisiac recipes" called Spirit Cooking in 1996. These "recipes" were meant to be "evocative instructions for actions or for thoughts."[23] For example, one of the recipes calls for "13,000 grams of jealousy," while another says to "mix fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk."[24] The work was inspired by the popular belief that ghosts feed off intangible things like light, sound, and emotions.[25]

    In 1997, Abramović created a multimedia Spirit Cooking installation. This was originally installed in the Zerynthia Associazione per l'Arte Contemporanea in Rome, Italy and included white gallery walls with "enigmatically violent recipe instructions" painted in pig's blood.[26] According to Alexxa Gotthardt, the work is "a comment on humanity's reliance on ritual to organize and legitimize our lives and contain our bodies."[27]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Abramović#Spirit_Cooking.2C_1996



      • Leviticus 19:31 (NIV)

        31 “‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

      • Isaiah 66:17 (NIV)

        17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—they will meet their end together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

      • Leviticus 15:16 (NIV)

        16 “‘When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening.


One should not want to ingest or be nourished by literal unclean things nor unclean attitudes, nor seek out spiritists or mediums who seek contact with the dead and unclean spirits. That is what makes Spirit Cooking unholy. Not the symbolic eating of people (though the literal eating of people would be unholy).
