SECTION XIX: The Nations

“These are the families of the sons of Noah,

  1. after their generations [genetics],
  2. in their nations:”  (Genesis 10:32)

Shem’s, Ham’s and Japheth’s ancestries constitute what came to be known as the Yellow, Black and White races. But these genetic divisions are not the nations.

  • nation is a community of people who share the same language, history, ethnicity, culture and / OR society.
    • A society is a group of people who share a distinctive culture and institutions.
      • Culture is the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, and habits of that defines and maintains the norms and expectations within a society for each individual’s social behavior in dress and demeanor. These will be different for different strata of society, such as a child, woman, leader, or violator of culture.

A nation is NOT a state a centralized political organization that imposes and enforces rules over a population within a territory defined by geographical boundaries.

113) The Great Mountain

The earliest known mention of Babylon is as a small town, appearing on a clay tablet from 2217–2193 BC, consistent with Sargon’s early empire-building. 

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed [down the mountains] from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another…

  1. let us build us a city
  2. and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven to connect with the gods
  3. and let us make us a name.” (Genesis 10:1-10; 11:1-4)

Us” signifies that there is a contrasting “them”.  At this time there were no separate nationalities, so true to human nature “Us” are the financially empowered elite plotting to exploit the poor, huddled masses yearning to be free for their personal enrichment. For a good example watch the current news in 2025 on what the American government is doing. 

“Make a name” i.e. become famous, even today means “I’m gonna live forever!…I’m gonna make it to heaven!!”

) Secular Validation Of Biblical Genealogy

The flood apocalypse documented by the Hebrews as having occurred approximately 4,500 years ago has been memorialized throughout the world, with those closest to home being most familiar to Western society.

The Greek version of Noah is called Deucalion. Interestingly, the Greek word for 10 is deka and Noah is the 10th generation from Adam. Being in the high god’s favor, he and his wife survived the world-destroying flood in a boat, and were instructed to repopulate the earth.

According to genetic studies, at one time in the past humanity experienced a “population bottlenecka sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events such as…flood.” “[M]ost Eurasian men (living outside Africa)…can be traced back to four ancestors

This, too, is consistent with the Hebrew account.

  1. Noah was…perfect in his generations [his genes had not been corrupted]. And Noah begat three sons,
  2. Shem,
  3. Ham, and
  4. Japheth.” (Genesis 6:9-10)

Iapetus as the progenitor of mankind has been equated with Japheth (יֶפֶת), the son of Noah, based on the similarity of their names. Note, there was no “J” in the English Bible until after the 1611 King James Bible. This tradition was also reported by Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews), making the “Japhethites” the Indo-European speaking peoples,. exactly as defined as “Gentiles”.

116) Covenant vs Contract Nation

Throughout all history the god(s) were called upon – invoked – to empower and bring to pass desired results in every aspect of life for everyone from individuals to empires. 

The process often involved making a contract between the god(s), represented by the leader, and the people with laws that end the contract when one party breaches the terms. Think of a rental contract – don’t pay the rent and you get evicted.

As detailed in the previous relevant post, a covenant is different from a contract.

A covenant defines a relationship voluntarily agreed to by both parties and remains intact even if one of the parties breaches it.

112) The Covenant God vs A Contract God

As we read the following, compare Monotheism’s introduction to the Code of Hammurabi’s pagan preamble.

Monotheism

 “I am / Ani the LORD / YHVH / Creator, and there is none else! there is no God beside me... 

I the LORD do all these things…Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!…Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?…

  • I have made the earth, and created man upon it..
  • I have raised him up in righteousness, and
  • I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts….in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God…

For thus saith the LORD that…formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited…I have not spoken in secret

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save….

who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside ME; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside ME.

Look unto ME, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God / Power, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45)

Tragically, as evidenced by God’s plea, many people chose Luciferian Humanism. We can track YHVH’s rival through name changes over history by his claimed attributes of being present in the light of the sun giving life and wisdom. As there was nothing which he did not see, he was the judge of all. Hammurabi’s law code (1792-1750 BCE) based its authority on this god’s power to create – and enforce – his laws.

We can even track this god into modern times through linguistics.

113) The Hebrews Preserve Covenantal Monotheism In All The Nations Of The World

rydernichollssemitic.png

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.

  1. though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
  2. 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.

113) Jerusalem Is YHVH’s Worship Center For His Commonwealth Of Nations

“Jerusalem…the city which I have chosen me to put my name there…for all the earth is mine.“ (Ezekiel 24:2, I Kings 11:36, Exodus 19:5)

The garden of Eden is not found on earth today, no doubt it was flooded under the Mediterranean Sea at the time of Noah’s flood.

However the entrance to the garden of Eden, being “eastward in Eden” (Genesis 2:8), must still be above water on “the mountain of the LORD” since the gateway to the garden is where the Adams would have continued making the blood sacrifice for sin as taught by YHVH.

This is where Abel’s blood sacrifice was accepted over Cain’s vegan offering, for obvious reasons. Cain did not engage in activities designed to achieve peace, undividedness-unity, alliance with God through respecting his ways. Not even – notably – with his brother. Cain was either competing with his brother to be the favorite, or competing to be an equal with God directly. In any case, unity / peace with God requires unity / peace with his family.

“Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.” (Genesis 4:3-5)

How did God show respect to one and not the other? Standard MO is fire from heaven,

“the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden…and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep / guard the way of the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:22-24)

114) Babylon Is The Worship Center For All Contract Nations

“Nimrod [from the verb מרד (marad), to rebel]….was a mighty hunter / Adversary before / facing off against the LORD...And the beginning of his kingdom was Bab-el / Confusion, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.” (Genesis 10:8-10)

As of October 2024, archeological excavations of Babylon have unearthed artifacts dating back to 1894 BC, consistent with Nimrod’s reign. However, these artifacts do not prove that Babel did not exist prior to that level of excavation. As detailed in the relevant post, the beginning of Nimrod’s kingdom was not the establishment of new cities, but the takeover of existing cities from Sargon, who had himself rebuilt the pre-flood power centers built by Cain.

Like Cain before the flood, Nimrod is simply the post-flood prototype of the Luciferian leader of humanistic rebellion against YHVH.

In ancient Mesopotamian societies, cultic [religious] functions belong to the office of the king. 

  1. prophet of _____
  2. priest of _____
  3. king of _____

The personal name of the primary god was embedded in the name of the king who embodied him / her.  Exactly like Isra-El.

Get the plagiarism to Melchizedek, ultimately in YHVH’s Chosen Savior / Jesus Christ. ” I am in the Father, and the Father in me.” (John 14:10

  1. “God…Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son – prophet
  2. we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens
  3. unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: king (Hebrews 1:1-8, 4:14-16, 5:1)

And like its religious ruler, historic Babylon is not a single entity, simply the prototype of the center of Anti-Christ worship.

115) Come Out From Among Them And Be Ye Separate

Babylon the great…the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit.” (Revelation 18:2)

The reality is that we will always blend in with whatever group with which we associate.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ / The Promised Seed with Belial / Satan? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?

for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthians 6:14-18)

Interestingly, the phrase “come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lordis not found verbatim elsewhere in scripture. The closest quote is what the LORD said to Abram.

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation.” (Genesis 12:1-2)

117) Tribulation Drives Us To Life

Those who don’t understand the absolute necessity of belonging to a state haven’t grasped the dire consequences of not belonging to a state. The pogroms by medieval European states were possible because the Jews were not citizens of, therefore not under the protection of, the state. The Holocaust of 6 million Jews occurred because they were stateless, unprotected by Germany’s laws, and unable to obtain access to another country’s protection through immigration.

Hannah Arendt is considered one of the most important modern thinkers. She spent her entire life critically discussing statelessness as a core concern of human rights and international politics…Her book The Origins of Totalitarianism is a fundamental reference…

Arendt wrote about the refugee crisis during World War II in a brief essay entitled, “We Refugees.” …In 1993…the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben reflected on Arendt’s essay within the context of his time…Arendt’s argument that statelessness is a consequence of the modern nation-state forms the backbone of much of Agamben’s powerful critique of sovereignty. The political and legal structure of the nation-state based on the rights of…citizen excludes those who are not citizens. The exclusion of the stateless, as we witness today, results in the administration of the excluded by national agencies, smugglers, strangers, charities, international organizations and, most tellingly, the police. Agamben is, of course, right. “We Refugees” needs to be read in the context of Arendt’s…The Origins of Totalitarianism.

The earliest population groups’ migrations up mountains, through deserts, across oceans, into frozen wastelands were driven by the same push factors experienced by our modern day refugees.

Persecution and war.
