Genesis 10 - The Nations

The Nations

Interesting to me that we have genealogies from Adam to Jesus. So we have a complete history of mankind, not million of years, but a few thousand years.This account was passed down from Abraham to Moses.

Gen 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

Shem was to be the Spiritual people. Japheth, the thinkers, the philosophers and worldly wise. Ham, the inventers, the adapters to the environment, the servants.

Cain built the first city before the flood. Nimrod built the first city after the flood. Both were evil.

Nimrod the Hunter, killed wild animals and Nimrod was also a hunter of the souls of man. A type of the antichrist.

The devil hunts, the Lord invites.

The devil hunts to kill. The Lord Jesus Christ, leads and makes us fishers of men, to catch them up from the devil's bondage.

Egyptians..Greek...Virgin mother and child cult. Mary worship in Catholic Church; the worship of mother and son.

Revelation...Great harlot, Babylon the great. Earthly honor by religious authority. False stature, power and prestige by religious authority.

Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Gen 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
Gen 10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Gen 10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Gen 10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Gen 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Gen 10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Gen 10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

Hebrews, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Persians, Syrians. Shem’s descendants were called Semites. Abraham, King David, King Solomon and Jesus descended from Shem.

Eber...name for Abraham or Hebrew.

Pelag, in Hebrew means division. in his days the earth was divided. Pelag means sea, in the Greek. Perhaps the earth was divided by the sea. Archipelago..first sea...Perhaps the Continents spred apart. Seas spread over lands...Lost continent of Atlantis, under the Atlantic? Americas may have been connected with European continent.

The rest of the Bible after Chapter 11, deals with the Children of Shem, the children of Abraham. From Shem came the promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The word of God through, Moses and the prophets and the Living Word from Jesus.

The Japhethites are the worldly wise. The intellectuals. The Western civiizations of Greece and Rome, the logic and systems of government. A demonic Japhite was Hitler, who said they were a pure Arian race. They tried to kill the Jews, the Shemites. Japheth tended to make slaves of the Hamites. African slaves, the Indians.

Still God's word is greater.

1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The Hamites had great inventions, like the pyramids. They are the servants, China is a Hamite nation serving the world with inventive goods. Almost everything we use came from the inventions of the children of Ham. The toned skins are from Ham.

The final chapter of earth will end with a redeemed people who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. The false religions will be destroyed. Satan has done his work to confuse God's truth, but in the end, God's truth prevails. A redeemed people will live with God forever.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

All peoples become one in Jesus Christ. It is not race but faith in the Son of God that we are truly one people of one heart.
