Kingdom Come

The breakup of Pangea into continents surrounded by oceans made possible the breakup of one empire into multiple people groups.

Semites, the term first used in the 1770s by members of the Göttingen school of history, was derived from Shem, but in keeping with the rejection of the biblical account has been replaced by Mongoloid as the designation for the racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. 

Hamites, also rejected because of its biblical origination, is now called the Negroid division of the human race, found wherever that Indian Ocean touches land, with dark-skin, strongly developed jaws, relatively long arms and kinky or frizzly hair.

Japhetite, found in ethnological and linguistic writing from the 18th to the 20th century for Europeans, is now called Caucasian, from the Caucasus Mountains.

Frustrating Humanists’ attempts to utterly disregard the biblical record, the archeological record supports the historical record of Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews 1:6:4: which reports that Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons (Genesis 10:22), who inhabited the land that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean.

1. For Elam left behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians [Iranians].
2. Ashur lived at the city Nineve; and named his subjects Assyrians [northern Iraqis] who became the most fortunate nation, beyond others [from a materialistic perspective.]
3. Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are now called Chaldeans [considered to be the “live continuation of all the indigenous people of Mesopotamia.”
   1. Arphaxad begat Salah
      1. and Salah begat Eber / the Hebrews (Genesis 10:24-25)
4. Laud [aka Lud] founded the Laudites, which are now called Lydians
   • Modern eastern Turkey, after whom was named a prominent promoter of the apostle Paul’s missionary endeavors.
5. Aram had the Aramites, which the Greeks called Syrians, accounting for all his offspring in the entire territory of Padan-Aram / Land of Aram. Of the four sons of Aram;
   1. Uz founded Trachonitis and Damascus: this country lies between Palestine to the south and Coeli-Syria / Greater Syria. Due to shifting borders, Damascus was originally included in the land of Uz. now called Lebanon. Job’s residence in the land of Uz and his long lifespan defines his era as soon after the Flood.  By linking Abraham’s potential heir Eliezar’s birthplace to Damascus at this same very early era, quite possibly Eliezar was one of Job’s younger sons.

   2. Ul founded Armenia; surrounding Mount Ararat, currently in eastern Turkey.
      • 
   3. Gather the Bactrians, Modern Uzbekistan, heading east, a wealthy and powerful territory in ancient times. Sometime around 700 BC, but using the language of 1500 BC, one of the world’s most ancient prophets, Zoroaster / Zarathustra, traveled through Mesopotamia opposing polytheism as worship of Daevas / evil spirits. He preached that there is only one God, the creator,  Ahura Mazda  / Lord Wisdom of Asha / Truth, opposed by Angra Mainyu / Ahriman of Druj / Lie. He stressed the importance of free will and urged the people to follow the path of righteousness and truth.

   4. Mesa the Mesaneans; it is now called Charax Spasini. [back to southern Iraq].

Just a short boat ride from the mouth of the Euphrates River, corresponding to Josephus’ report that Shem’s descendants migrated east to the Indian Sea and roughly to Salah’s lifetime (archeology is not by any means an exact science), the Indus River Valley civilization, along with Mesopotamia and Egypt, was one of the three cradles of civilization. 

The alternate name of the Indus Valley civilization – the “Sarasvati” civilization”. Languages are characterized by unique sound systems, known as phonologies. East Asian languages often lacks the specific “L” and “R” distinction present in English, and both sound almost the same.  Substituting the “L” sound with “R” is a well-documented linguistic phenomenon. Another clue is that with its language has been “tentatively” identified as Semitic.

Archaeological excavations indicate that the region was depopulated about 1900 BC and replaced with Aryan, i.e. Japhethite, peoples, establishing the eastern leg of the Indo-European straddle, and pushing the original inhabitants further east. This corresponds in time with 1766 BC as the traditional date for the founding of the first historic dynasty in China.

And moving even further east, across the Pacific Ocean, pottery is the classic means by which archeologists identify different civilizations. Which pottery is from the Saravati Indus Valley Civilization and which from Pre-Columbian American?

There are many other cultural similarities between Salah’s Far Eastern and South American cultures, some good examples found in this attached website.  

Circling back to the beginning of this post, the limited demographic data provides the basis for calculating a huge population explosion in the first 500 years after the flood with just three first fathers.

1. “Shem “begat Arphaxad 2 years after the flood…And Shem lived [another] 500 years, and begat sons and daughters”
   1. during which “Arphaxad lived 35 years, and begat Salah…And lived [another] 403 years, and begat sons and daughters.
      1. And Salah lived 30 years, and begat Eber: And…lived [another] 403 years, and begat sons and daughters…” (Genesis 11:10-15)

Exponential growth is a mathematical formula that shows how much a population can increase with the passing of time. Starting with 3 sets of parents, each producing 1 child every 5 years (allowing maximum beneficial breast-feeding and maternal hormonal readjustment and 9 months of pregnancy), then each of those persons growing up and producing children who then produce more children…after 300 years (allowing 100 years of old age during which mothers and fathers are living but no longer fertile), the population would be 10 followed by 451 zeroes. There isn’t a mathematical word like million or billion or gazillion for this many. 

On September 21, 2027 the world’s population was ~8,317,882.

So, the exponential growth calculation is a purely theoretical maximum. In reality, environmental limits, resource constraints, and other factors would cause the growth to slow and approach a carrying capacity (logistic growth). These limits to maintaining the lives of ones’ families – mainly war over limited resources and enslavement of workers by those who made the land-grab first (think the settling of the American West) led to the world-wide dispersal of emigrants well within the time frame of a few hundred years, i.e. before the single supercontinent was broken up in “Peleg’s day”, i.e. ~100~350 years after the flood.

In the following graphic, notice how the edges of the continents fit together exactly like a jigsaw puzzle, demonstrating that the people on the landmasses were separated at the same time as the landmass itself.

This explains the settlement timing and pattern for South America, which mainstream science has, with its long-earth ages paradigm, insisted must have occurred during the last Ice Age on the current multi-continental configuration by Asians crossing the Bering Straits on an ice bridge and gradually walking south.

An increasing body of archaeological and genomic evidence has hinted to a complex settlement process. Researchers provide provides the most complete genetic evidence to date for complex ancient Central and South American (i.e., the furthest south so supposedly the last) migration routes, including strong Australasian. That did not come from Alaska’s Bering Straits.

Researchers also discovered evidence of Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestry. As detailed in relevant posts, these are the genetic signatures of the hybrid giants.
