Since the beginning of time, men were honored with exemplary titles for physical fortitude. For example, Nimrod was given in Genesis 10:8-9: “Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first to become a mighty warrior on earth. He was a mighty hunter in the eyes of the Lord; hence the saying, ‘Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the eyes of the Lord.’”
