Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.
Genesis 10:8

This seems to contradict Genesis 6:4, which says that the Nephilim who lived before and after the Great Flood "were the mighty men of old". The two verses can be reconciled by understanding that the "mighty men" reputation of the Nephilim was applied posthumously in the myths that grew up around them, legends of giants, demi-gods, and the like.

Can someone give me some discernment on this?
From a good while back (many moons ago):

i saw a large sword of black iron standing several times taller than fully grown oak trees and the surface of it was black and covered in symbols like a story told in characters similar to the way chinese etch a single sign to mean a word (perhaps an ancient cuneiform or sumerian or egyptian script? i am no language scholar), but none of the symbols could be read for it was night and the symbols were not reflecting any light nor did the ones which i saw a tiny portion of seem to be like any symbols i have ever seen before

it had no blade and was made as though ornamental, being in the shape of a sword but having no sharp edges

then there was behind the sword a great and tall building with a very small portion of steps a the base, like a central spire of solid stone with prongs facing east and west, then below them prongs facing north and south with the points facing upward both made of thick solid stone thicker than a commercial bus is tall, and the color of the stone was a deep tan but the night sky made the shade difficult to discern, though the light upon the stone behaved as though it were polished and not sealed

then a great fire erupted at the base of the spire structure and on both sides behind the sword, and i saw a small sword jutting out from the face of the large sword and the etchings upon it were ornate but not in the story style of the larger black-iron sword, and the location of the small sword was one-quarter from the hilt to the tip and the tip of the large sword was buried in the ground below at one tenth the length of the whole sword, with the length of the small sword being one twelfth of the length of the large sword it protruded from as a bump if seen from the side

then i saw the great sword spin once clockwise (if it were seen from above) and the fires to the left of the hilt behind it went out, then it spun once more a full revolution and the fires on the right behind it went out then it spun a third time and the fires at the base of the structure went out and the spire was no more, but the sword was broken and fell to the ground with one third of the blade remaining, point-first, rooted in the earth and the other two thirds having fallen down

the forest was no more near the structure and was replaced with ash and the structure seemed as though it had been demolished and had no more points facing skyward and all was quiet

the vision ended

update after the keen focus on trying to comprehend the dream has faded and the details can be threshed out:

the sword had snapped in half upon its attempt to complete a third revolution, and the spire was transformed from complete to destroyed and the sword went from being complete to destroyed without any transitional period as the fires around the base of the spire structure were put out and the ash was smoldering and it was about to rain, but those details were still hidden behind the awe of receiving the dream

He was a mighty hunter before YHWH. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before YHWH.”
Genesis 10:9

The phrase "a mighty hunter before YHWH" is meant in the sense of being a hunter in defiance of God, not in being a mighty hunter in God's eyes. In his pride, Nimrod followed his own heart instead of #godslaw, a certain path to eternal damnation. #noach

Happy preparation day to Israel and Judah.
