When Nimrod’s tower enterprise fell apart at Babel in the land of Shinar, Asshur, a rebel son of Shem, hunts down the scattering nations to corral them back into the same general region in what became the Assyrian Empire,.
Shem, “the father of all the children of Eber”, ordains Eber to go out into the world to minister to the fleeing refugees.
That’s just a bit confusing. How is Shem the father of all the children of Eber?
In the same sense of spiritual regeneration, exactly what the more familiar Abraham “the father of all them that believe”, inherited as his Melchizedekian role.
- though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
- And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith…that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed…which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)” (Romans 4:11-17)
“out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation [Thou] hast made us unto our God kings and priests / melchizedeks: and we shall reign on the [whole] earth.” (Revelation 5:9-10)
Cultural historians confirm the biblical account that righteous Shem’s great-grandson Eber is the namesake founder of the Hebrews of whom Abraham “our father” is the first person identified as such.
“Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram; the same is Abraham.” (I Chronicles 1:24-17)
Eber was the first scion / offshoot who was in Shem’s likeness and capable of carrying out his righteous legacy of leading God’s people in the paths of righteousness.
“the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you…that God in all things may be glorified through YHVH’s Authorized King Of The World / Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (I Peter 4:1-11)
“The same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved…as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!…Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world…Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.” (Romans 10:12-20)
Note – this is reported to have happened prior to even Isaiah’s era. So who were these preachers of the gospel whose sound went into all the earth, their words unto the ends of the world?
That would be the Hebrews.
“Little is known about the oldest eras of ancient Hebrew civilization because the culture was nomadic.”
And that would be because they were running for their lives.
