Table of Nations: Genesis 10

Table of Nations: Genesis 10

Comments 0 Comment


Genesis 10. All of us, living today, came from Japheth, Shem, and Ham.
It is an extensive subject, one that cannot be covered in a morning, but this may give you a place to begin your discoveries.

One may ask, “does it matter?”  Absolutely it matters — if it didn’t matter it would not be in the Bible.   Genealogy is a core part of the Bible: Genesis 10, 1 Chronicles 1, Luke 3, Matthew 1.

Many long books have been written tracing our ancestries back to these three men, and not all of them agree. But that’s OK — that does not mean it cannot be known, people are still looking.

Here are a few links I hope you may find useful, but there is so much more out there.

History of the Swedish People (Osterholm)

Table of Nations — Osterholm

Table of Nations — Wenstrom

Following are a few notes I have put together reflecting my own conclusions:

Coastlands of the Sea are the people of Japheth 

They raise their voices, they shout for joy;
They cry out from the [a]west concerning the majesty of the Lord.
15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the [b]east,
The name of the Lord, the God of Israel,
In the [c]coastlands of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the Righteous One,” Isaiah 24:15

He will not be disheartened or crushed
Until He has established justice on the earth;
And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His [a]law.” Is 42:4

Let them give glory to the Lord And declare His praise in the coastlands. Is 42:12

My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth,
And My arms will judge the peoples;
The coastlands will wait for Me,
And they will wait expectantly for My arm. Is 51:5

Certainly the coastlands will wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
To bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has glorified you. Is 60:9

And I will send fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the Lord. Ez 39:6

The Lord will be terrifying to them, for He will [a]starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.  Zephaniah 2:11

Shem was the Second Born
These are the records of the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old when he fathered Arpachshad, two years after the flood. Genesis 11:10

And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Gen 5:32

But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.   Matthew 21:28-31

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Matthew 21:43

Sons of Ham

Not all of Ham’s descendants went straight to Africa.  Though Cush is commonly know as a the father of the Ethiopians, he was also the father of an evil but great leader known as Nimrod, who founded Babel, Nineveh, and other great urban centers in the Middle East. Genesis 10:8-12

Sons of Ham include the Canaanites and the Philistines.

Chinese

This story fascinates me but I have not settled in my own mind whether the Han Chinese are sons of Ham or Japheth.   There are arguments on both sides.  Does is matter? Yes, of course it matters, otherwise there would not be such extensive coverage of genealogies in the Bible.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Titus 3:9

And yet:

Genealogy

Philosophy — Necessary for Rebuilding Christendom

Philosophy — Necessary for Rebuilding Christendom

Philosophy is a requirement for cultural and society.  We are facing a breakdown of culture and society because our philosophy is utterly corrupt.  There is an internally consistent way of understanding that incorporates the latest realizations of the atheists with those of the Holy Scriptures.  Linguistics is at the core of human thought in the same way as the Word of God is at the core of all reality.  They (the atheists) are intellectually bankrupt.  The Christian pre-suppositionalist thinker consciously recognizing the necessity of Word can rebuild civilization.

  • There are two Judgments: Eternal and Temporal.
  • Deuteronomy 28 describes temporal judgement for Nations.
  • Obey the 10 Commandments and be blessed, disobey and be cursed.
  • In 2022 we are facing an existential moment — we must either become explicitly Christian Nations, or we will live under utter despotism and tyranny.

Tolerance is Delusion

Tolerance is Delusion

Ideological conformity comes camouflaged in the rhetoric of tolerance and diversity.

“Tolerance” is a rhetorical lever designed to introduce previously forbidden ideas at the same time they make previously accepted ideas forbidden:

    • Tolerance towards homosexuality means intolerance toward certain words like sodomy and buggery.
    • Tolerance for transsexuals means intolerance of people claiming only two genders, fixed by biology.
    • Tolerance toward atheism, Judaism and Islam in government schools means intolerance toward praying in the Name of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures.
    • Tolerance towards unbridled immigration (open borders) means intolerance of White society and culture.

    When people say “stop the hate” what they signal is hatred toward those who disagree with their agenda.

    When they say “we believe in diversity,” they really mean “we have no place for ideas that contradict our agenda.”

    Truth: we really cannot all just get along. Christians are frankly idiots for pretending they ought to be tolerant and diverse.

    There is nothing Biblical about everyone getting along:

    • Cain and Abel
    • Eve and the Dragon
    • Jacob and Esau
    • Hebrews and Egyptians
    • the Seed of the Woman and the Seed of the Serpent
    • Jesus Christ and the Pharisees
    • First Century Christians and the Jews
    • Darkness and Light.
    • Sheep and Goats
    • Heaven and Hell (there is a great chasm of separation)

    This is a first principal.

    Light shatters darkness — they cannot occupy the same space.

    Diversity and tolerance are rhetorical levers used to invert evil and good; these terms are not Christian terms, they are terms of the Deceiver.

    Q: If this is true, upon what ideas can a society be based?
    A: The Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, the writings of the Holy Bible.

    All of Satan’s attempts to eliminate the Word of God from society must be resisted.

    Allow me to play devil’s advocate for a moment.

    Ex-President Obama recently gave a speech at Stanford University.  Here is a quote:

    “Over time, we lose our capacity to distinguish between fact, opinion, and wholesale fiction. Or maybe we just stop caring,” he said.

    This is a valid point. His answer is “curating” the Internet, but that does not answer the question, it just assigns gatekeepers, censors. How do they know fact and truth?

    Here is the simple answer — if the Holy Scriptures are rejected as the fountain of knowledge and wisdom and Truth, then human society is truly lost, captives of whomever has the power to decide “fact from fiction.”

    The great historical struggle of the Protestant Christians was to free the Holy Scriptures from control by bishops and prelates and unspoken languages. The most revolutionary action occurred: the Holy Scriptures were translated into languages people could read and given directly to the people.

    There is a direct line of liberty from Wycliff and the Lollards to the Christian liberty of our earliest colonies, the Pilgrims and the Puritans. This was a radical (getting to the root of the problem) movement. It birthed independence under God in North America.

    The historical act of purging the Bible from government schools is the ultimate act of tyranny — the People will have no direct access to the Truth.

    The fallacy of the “conservative” movement lies in that liberty can exist without Jesus Christ and the Bible — that is not an idea found in the Holy Scriptures.

Rebuilding Requires a Theology of Nation-Building

What if suddenly there was no “government”  and you were left to your own devices? How would you rebuild?  Scripture gives us an example of a nation that had to build from nothing — the ancient nation of Israel.  The Evangelical church has lost the theology of nation building.  But it is all right there in the Bible.

(Sorry folks, not sure what happened but the sound never went through. Something on my end — not sure what happened. I re-recorded it and it appears above).

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, physically, three days after his death and burial.
