Lesson 6, Part 1 the Table of Nations The Origin of Evil and The Spread of False Religion The Spread of False Religion – Lesson 6, Part 1 The Table of Nations – Part 1 Genesis 10:1-5 The Table of Nations – Part 1 In our study of The Spread of False Religion it is important to identify the lineages of the sons of Noah in order to identify where each group settled with their religious practices after leaving Babel. GEN 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. GEN 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah, 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. 1 The following map shows the various nations represented by the genealogy of Genesis chapter 10. This map represents the initial scattering after Babel. From this initial scattering, we will soon see that these people later migrated to the remote parts of the world. Notice the nations of Genesis 10 in the following. [131]1 The Nations of Genesis 10 [131] [131] The colors of the names on the following map represent the indicated descendent of one of Noah’s sons. 9 Genesis 10:1-32 - The Nations of Genesis 10 [131] 10 The Three Sons of Noah Genesis chapter 10 is known as the Table of Nations. The Table of Nations is important to the study of the rest of the history of the Jewish people in the Old Testament – you will see these families, and the nations they represent, mentioned again and again. The study of the nations these people represent is also important to understanding how the spread of false religions occurred. The people represented by the three sons of Noah participated in the New Testament events, and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Before we discuss the various nations descended from these three sons of Noah, let’s first look at the three sons and their responsibilities in the New Testament. The Synoptic Gospels Gospel of Targets Matthew Shem (Jews) Mark Ham (The Servant) Luke Japheth(TheGreek) 1 Bible Maps from Biblesoft, (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986,Thomas Nelson Publishers). 2 The Seekers After Jesus The Seekers Were The Shepherds Shem The Magi Ham The Greek Japheth The Hearers in Acts The Preachers The Hearers Peter (Acts 2:14) Shem ("Men of Judea") Philip (Acts 8:26,27) Ham ("a man of Ethiopia") Peter (Acts 10:1, 22, 34-48) Japheth ("Cornelius, a centurian") Responsibility at the Crucifixion Responsibility Who Moral Shem (Jews) ("His blood be on us" MAT 27:25) Physical Burden Ham (Simon of Cyrene bore cross MAT 27:32) Executive Japheth (Roman) (Pilate. MAT 27:24) Next, we look at the three sons in their service to mankind. Note particularly the prophecy of Noah about Shem in Genesis 9:26. GEN 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. This was an indirect blessing on Shem. Shem's well being would be dependent on the spiritual health of the Semite people. They were directly bound to God. [50]2 Whenever Israel forgot God, they would be pillaged, and/or sent into captivity. [50]3 DEU 8:11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: The Three Sons Serving Mankind – In their service to mankind, let’s look at each of the three sons in the order given in Genesis 10:1, beginning with Shem, then Ham, and finally Japheth. [82; 27]4 THREE SONS SERVING MANKIND [27; 82]5 (Meeting three basic human needs) SEMITES – (Spiritual, Capacity to worship) Religion centered in monotheism. Jews – Moslems – Zoroastrians – Etc. HAMITES (Pioneers) - (Physical, Capacity to create) Settlement, Cultivation, Technology Egyptians - Phoenicians - Sumerians - Orientals - Africans & Etc. JAPHETHITES - (Intellectual, Capacity to reason) Stressed Science and Philosophy Greeks - Romans - Other European – Anglo American – Etc. We were meant to have all three (Spiritual, Physical, and Intellectual) in harmony. We were meant to develop all three. Notice that the intellectual is placed last. The natural order of these in our lives is the Spiritual, then the Physical, and lastly the intellectual. In raising our children we must remember the order, but not to forsake any. [27; 82]6 Man's Fundamental Responsibilities Man was given three fundamental responsibilities. [27]7 1. Fill the Earth with descendents. 2 [50] Noah W.

GEN 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2. Fill the Earth with the knowledge of the Lord. ISA 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. HAB 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 3. Teach men to call upon the name of the Lord. GEN 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. Genealogy of the Sons GEN 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. Shem may have been the compiler of this genealogy. He lived 502 years after the Flood, which would have encompassed the entire period of this genealogy. Further evidence that this was written by Shem is that Shem's genealogy is carried to the sixth generation, while Ham and Japheth's extend only to the third. Shem may have lost touch with Ham and Japheth after the Tower of Babel incident, so did not record additional generations for Ham and Japheth.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

When I entered Babilani as a friend and when I established the seat of the government in the palace of the ruler under jubilation and rejoicing, Marduk, the great lord, induced the magnanimous inhabitants of Babilani to love me, and I was daily endeavoring to worship him.... As to the region from as far as Assura and Susa, Akkade, Eshnunna, the towns Zamban, Me-turnu, Der as well as the region of the Gutians, I returned to these sacred cities on the other side of the Tigris the sanctuaries of which have been ruins for a long time, the images which used to live therein and established for them permanent sanctuaries. I also gathered all their former inhabitants and returned them to their habitations. Furthermore, I resettled upon the command of Marduk, the great lord, all the gods of Kiengir and Akkade whom Nabonidus had brought into Babilani to the anger of the lord of the gods, unharmed, in their former temples, the places which make them happy.

  • Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T
    Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T. Sinclair (Turkey), 1997 with the assistance of Diane Braund Introduction Pontus The land of Pontus has two main parts, both of which belonged to the Mithridatic kingdom of Pontus in the Hellenistic period. The first is the main ridge of the Pontic mountains and the steep descent to the shore. The lower slopes are thickly wooded, and the shore districts have a humid and rainy climate. In the main Pontic ridge a gap occurs in the hinterland of Amisus (modern Samsun), after which the mountain chain continues at a lower height and with less abrupt slopes (Strabo’s term Paryadres seems to denote the higher part of the chain). As far east as Rhizaion (Rize) Greek settlements along the coast have existed since the sixth century B.C., and in the case of Sinope the seventh. To the south, the Pontic chain is bordered by Armenia Minor, a part of Armenia itself (Late Antique Sper, probably the Syspiritis of the classical authors), and what was to become the Georgian mountainous district of Tao, drained by the R. Glaukos (Oltu Çay) and the Tortum Çay. The district of Chaldia, the Gümüşhane basin, is difficult to classify, particularly in classical times, as there is no evidence that it belonged either to Pontus (in a geographical or administrative sense), to Armenia Minor, or to Armenia itself. The Roman empire made no effort to control the interior of Chaldia until the reign of Justinian. The second part of Pontus is the series of fertile inland plains, joined by relatively low chains of hills, in the river systems of the Iris (Kızıl Irmak) and the lower Halys (Yeşil Irmak).

  • 2 Annex I Objective Data Contained in the ''Draft Report from the Georgian
    Annex I Objective data contained in the ‘’draft report from the Georgian anthropologist, such as data of historical, geographical or anthropological nature, and maps’’ Following the European Ombudsman’s proposal for a solution, the present document collates the objective data contained in the draft report provided to the EIB by the Promoter in November 2016 (referred to by the European Ombudsman as the ‘’draft report from the Georgian anthropologist’’) as part of the project appraisal. It is important to clarify that the draft report was never intended as a final stand-alone document. The Promoter used it to elaborate another draft working document, which was then used for the elaboration of Volume 3 of the project’s Social Impact Assessment. The latter is publicly available on the EIB website (http://www.eib.org/en/infocentre/registers/register/80380170). In full consideration of the European Ombudsman’s proposal for a solution, the EIB assessed the possibility to disclose said “objective data” on the basis of the provisions of the EIB Group Transparency Policy (EIB-TP). Information covered by the exception for disclosure described in section 5 of the EIB-TP has been redacted and replaced by the symbol […], in addition to non-objective data. This concerns information which if disclosed would undermine the protection of international relations (Art. 5.4 a, first bullet), as well as the privacy and integrity of individuals (Art. 5.4 b). No overriding public interest has been found that would prevail over relevant exceptions. Conclusion on Indigenous People's Issues Statement 1. Svans are Georgians. Svans comprise an ethnic sub‐group of Georgian (Kartvelian) ethnic group.

  • Herodotus [1.141] As Soon As the Lydians Had Been Subjugated By
    Herodotus [1.141] As soon as the Lydians had been subjugated by the Persians, the Ionians and Aeolians sent messengers to Cyrus, offering to be his subjects on the same terms as those which they had under Croesus. After hearing what they proposed, Cyrus told them a story. Once, he said, there was a flute-player who saw fish in the sea and played upon his flute, thinking that they would come out on to the land. Disappointed of his hope, he cast a net and gathered it in and took out a great multitude of fish; and seeing them leaping, “You had best,” he said, “stop your dancing now; you would not come out and dance before, when I played to you.” The reason why Cyrus told the story to the Ionians and Aeolians was that the Ionians, who were ready to obey him when the victory was won, had before refused when he sent a message asking them to revolt from Croesus. So he answered them in anger. But when the message came to the Ionians in their cities, they fortified themselves with walls, and assembled in the Panionion, all except the Milesians, with whom alone Cyrus made a treaty on the same terms as that which they had with the Lydians. The rest of the Ionians resolved to send envoys in the name of them all to Sparta, to ask help for the Ionians. [1.188] Cyrus, then, marched against Nitocris' son, who inherited the name of his father Labynetus and the sovereignty of Assyria. Now when the Great King campaigns, he marches well provided with food and flocks from home; and water from the Choaspes river that flows past Susa is carried with him, the only river from which the king will drink.

    JASON: QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN FLEECE, A GREEK MYTH PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jeff Limke,Tim Seeley,Barbara Schulz | 48 pages | 01 Apr 2008 | Lerner Publishing Group | 9780822565710 | English | Minneapolis, United States What is the Story of Jason and the Golden Fleece? - In return for this favor, Phineas revealed to Jason the location of Colchis and how to pass the Symplegades , or The Clashing Rocks, and then they parted. The only way to reach Colchis was to sail through the Symplegades Clashing Rocks , huge rock cliffs that came together and crushed anything that traveled between them. Phineas told Jason to release a dove when they approached these islands, and if the dove made it through, to row with all their might. If the dove was crushed, he was doomed to fail. Jason released the dove as advised, which made it through, losing only a few tail feathers. Seeing this, they rowed strongly and made it through with minor damage at the extreme stern of the ship. From that time on, the clashing rocks were forever joined leaving free passage for others to pass. Jason arrived in Colchis modern Black Sea coast of Georgia to claim the fleece as his own. It was owned by King Aeetes of Colchis. The fleece was given to him by Phrixus. Aeetes promised to give it to Jason only if he could perform three certain tasks. Presented with the tasks, Jason became discouraged and fell into depression. However, Hera had persuaded Aphrodite to convince her son Eros to make Aeetes' daughter, Medea , fall in love with Jason.
