1 | Explanation of all the races? | Gen 10:32 | msbblc | 54646 | ||
My Aunt asked me a question that I can't answer, so I bring it to you all... After the flood, it was only noah and his family, so where did all the races come from? I know that God confused the people at the tower of bable with languge... but I don't how to give anymore of an answer than that. | ||||||
2 | Explanation of all the races? | Gen 10:32 | Robert Nicholson | 54647 | ||
msbblc: You ask difficult questions. We know that only 8 people were saved from the flood as you have rightly pointed out. "And the sons of Noah that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japeth: and Ham is the father of Canaan" Gen. 9:18 In verse 19 we are told that from these three sons of Noah "was the whole earth overspread." Noah made a prophetic statement regarding each of his sons in Gen 9 25-27 a) The posterity of Ham through Canaan would be cursed to a servile standing in the world. b) Shem would have a special relationship with the Lord God. c) Japheth would be enlarged, I believe meaning that he would be father of many nations. In Gen. 10 we are given the generations of the sons of Noah after the flood. In Gen. 11 as you have pointed out already the tower of Babel and the dispersal of the people over the earth. From "Tegg's Essential Chronology of the Old Testament it is suggested that: Shem is the father of those in early Asia. Ham the father of the African nations. Japhet the father of the European nations. I hope this does not confuse you. Robert |

3 | Explanation of all the races? | Gen 10:32 | Norrie | 54655 | ||
Let's say that Japhet is the father of European nations, that would have been long before Abraham, then even further down to 12 tribes, then the Lost Tribes. I've read where people are claiming that England is decended from lost tribe of Israel, the Queen, etc. come from them. Wouldn't that be a bunch of bull? How can they trace people like that anyway? I can see where the Jews that stayed in one locale basically could have kept up w/things, that's how Jesus' geneology came thru but ones since then are missing too, aren't they? Then ones from before that went all over, how would anybody keep up w/them? Joseph and Mary had other kids, isn't there a geneology somewhere on them or what not? | ||||||

Norrie It is interesting according to Chronology in the Bible that Noah lived 350 years after the flood and died 2 years before Abraham was born. However, Shem, Noah's son lived 502 years after the flood. He knows Abraham for 150 years and Isaac for 50 years. The geneology of Jesus is traced back to King David through Joseph the husband of Mary his mother. In Matthew 1 we see the Lord Jesus as King, thus we are given the genealogy of a King. In Luke 3:23 we are given the genealogy of Jesus traced from Mary his mother back to Adam. Luke portrays the humanity of Christ as the Son of Man. At this moment I cannot give you much information on the 10 Lost Tribes except we know their names and that God has plans for them in a future day. Revelation 7: 4-8 The reason we have information today on ancient peoples is that in their times genealogy was very important. Thus, today we can find much in the Bible along with other ancient writings which is constantly being confirmed by Archaeology. For example, it is only in recent years that a dig a Haran revealed information on Terah Abraham's father thus confirming the Bible which tells us Abraham moved from Ur to Haran. I would agree with you that the Anglo Saxon people of England have not descended from the lost tribes and are in fact a Gentile nation. Regarding Joseph and Mary having other children: There is not much written on this and I do not know of any genealogy on them. The important thing to remember is that in Genesis 3:15 after humans became sinners by disobedience, God promised them a redeemer who would come via the seed of the woman. As we look at the genealogy of Mary we see the grace of God as down through the ages he chooses those who would bring this promise to fulfilment. We thank God that "when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his son..."(Galations 4:4) God bless Robert |

Jeshuafreak: Thank you. I agree that today according to Romans 3 there is no difference before God. That "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" v.23. I will check you posts. Robert |
