DIFFERENT RACES OF HANDS ON A BIBLE SKIN

These divisions have been already hinted at in the order of the names of the sons of Noah. We need very much to return to an understanding of this passage. This is a secret that sociologists have largely lost sight of, and, therefore, many of their ideas and concepts about society are faulty. Each contribution is different, unique, and it can be demonstrated in society that this is why God has divided the race into three families. But here in Chapter 9 we learn the distinctive contribution that each family group is intended to make to the human race. In Chapter 10 we will go on to trace the spread of these families, headed by Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and learn to which division of mankind each of us belongs.

But here in this passage we shall learn that there is only one race, as we have seen from the beginning in the Scriptures, but there are three families of mankind. We speak of the white race, the yellow race, the black race, and so forth. These rather superficial distinctions are the basis for our division of mankind.

We moderns tend to categorize people by their skin color, their language, or the color of their hair or eyes. These three were the sons of Noah and from these the whole earth was peopled. The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. In the eighteenth verse of Chapter 9 is a brief summary of the passage: This will help us greatly in understanding what is happening in our own time. Here we shall learn the true divisions of mankind and also of the existence of a very dangerous trait that infects society, breaking out in sexual perversions from time to time and place to place. Perhaps no passage of the Scripture is more helpful and significant to aid us in this than the latter half of Chapter 9 of Genesis, the passage we will look at now. In our present series we are attempting to understand society as it is revealed to us in the Scriptures.
