The Legend of Hayk Nahabed and Bel Nimrod

There are many legends regarding the formation of the Armenian people. The most prevalent figure in Armenian national folklore is Hayk. This legend dates to the prehistoric epoch when the first Armenians moved to the land of Urartu. The handsome and personable hero Hayk, appalled over the actions of the oppresive Bel of Babylon, departed for the North with his people. Bel, with a large army, pursued him. Hayk engaged him in battle, killed Bel with an arrow and freed the land; this is why the area is known as the country of Hay people, or Armenians.

'A giant called Bel'... (any relation to 'Baal'?) I'm not sure if this was Nimrod. But that there were giant kings and general spiritual creepiness in ancient post-flood times, I do visualize. Mesopotamia/Assyria was where the Bullies hung out. Nimrod is associated in the popular mind and Jewish stories with the tower, being frustrated in his designs by the language confusion and dispersion from Babel, and he may have been a kind of evil guy, but maybe his ambitiousness got associated with evil things that went on before or after him. It is easy to see that 'evil' was rightly associated with power and enchantments or sorcery obtained from nefarious territorial spirits or 'gods'. 'Worldly' power was associated with these 'bad ass' high population areas that God was breaking up. Enoch = an explanation of the origin of evil spirits from dead giants who had no proper afterlife but were restless and prone to mischief. These were before the flood 'created' by misenigenation and continued their mischief after the flood. Psalm 82 + Duet. 32 + Plato's comment about territorial gods = an explanation of the (gradual?) corruption of angels or 'gods' AFTER the dispersion from Babel. Be diligent, believe in Messiah Jesus, research everything, and try looking at the periods of time according to the 'longer chronology' of the Greek Old Testament still used by the Orthodox Christians. Again and again we read stories of people who had trouble with their old land and had to go to a new land. These are the heros, the pioneers, the brave ones, doing what God said: 'Fill the earth." Even Nimrod may have been a 'hero', at least at first. But power corrupts as time and generations go on.
