(01:21):
mission to provide the knowledge that willtrain sisters and brothers in Christ, to
spread God's love and create disciples.Our vision to share all resources that were
laid in the knowledge necessary for thebuilding of God's kingdom. The adversary does
not know what to do with thosewho possess integrity. We are not human
(01:42):
beings. On a spiritual journey.On the contrary, we are spiritual beings
on a human journey. With thatbeing said, we will open this Holy
Bible study session up with prayer,So please join in, Oh Holy Eternal
Father, Son, Holy It isonce again that we come unto you as
(02:05):
humble as we know how, realizingthat you are Creator. Everything that exists
exists only because it came from you. You operate, create, do anything
you choose in the midst of chaos. Your strength is made perfect in weakness.
You will move in the middle ofthings that are impossible with men.
(02:25):
Please help us to love one anotherthe way your word teaches us to.
Thank you for your continued graces andyour continued mercies. We pray these things
in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. All right, Welcome again
to HBS and DWJ podcast. Iam your host, Jerry Joyce. Jerry
(02:47):
Joyce, Joyce joy all right.Our scripture of the week is Proverbs chapter
four or verse twenty three. KingJames version, keep thy heart with all
(03:07):
diligence, for out of it arethe issues of life. To keep something,
in this sense, means more thansimply to maintain ownership it refers to
maintenance, care and support. Sometranslations use the word god. A wise
(03:27):
person realizes that temptation is real.First Corinthians ten, verse thirteen talks about
this and takes appropriate precaution. Nowthis parallel's statements made earlier, where Solomon
advises his son to actively avoid eviland those who practice it. In Proverbs
chapter four, verses fourteen and fifteen. Scripture places a strong emphasis on the
(03:52):
heart as the source of good orevil. Jeremiah chapter seventeen, verse nine
says the heart is deceit above allthings and desperately sick. Jesus announced the
good person, out of the goodtreasure of his heart, produces good,
and the evil person, out ofthe evil treasures, produces evil. For
(04:13):
out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks Luke chapter six,
verse forty five. All right,David, Solomon's father certainly understood how influential
the heart is and how we liveout our morals and values. Out of
the evil of his heart, hestole Uriah's wife, Bethsheba, committed adultery
(04:36):
with her, and then arranged forUriah's death when he could not hide his
crime. Now, this is foundin tewod Samuel with chapter eleven, verses
two through five, as well asverses fourteen and fifteen. However, when
he was under heavy conviction about hisevil deed, David pray, creating me
(04:56):
a clean heart, O God,and renew a right spirit within me.
This is a Psalm chapter fifty one, verse ten. What is hidden in
the heart is open to God's eyes. First Samuel chapter sixteen, verse seven
reminds us that the Lord sees notas man sees. Man looks on the
outward appearance, but the Lord lookson the heart. It is absolutely essential.
(05:24):
Therefore to God the heart. Allright. Our topic today is sons
of Sham, Syrians, Lydians,Armenians, Arabians. Discussion all right.
This section on the line of Shimcomes last. Though this verse makes clear
(05:45):
that Shim was the oldest of Noah'ssons. Earlier, Ham was described using
a Hebrew term meaning either youngest orleast in Genesis chapter nine, verse twenty
four. Here translations are split onwhether Shim or Jfel is the older brother.
(06:05):
Of course, their exact birth orderis not explicitly given anywhere in the
Bible. Most likely, but notassuredly Shim was the oldest of the three
sons, nor brought with him ontheir art, as found in Genesis chapter
seven, verse one. Now,Shim's line is the one that will lead
(06:30):
to Abel, Abraham and the Israelites. Verse twenty one begins by referring to
Shim as the father of the Eberites. This is typical of genealogies, especially
in the ancient world. The termfather is often used to refer to any
male ancestors, and you can findinformation on this in Genesis chapter fifteen,
(06:51):
verse fifteen, as well as Chapterthirty one, verse three. This makes
Shim the father of the Eberites inthe sense that as Eber's great grandfather,
Shim is the ancestor of that peoplethrough the eber Wites. Eventually, Sham's
line will lead to Abraham, whois also known as Abel all Right or
(07:16):
who was also known as Abel allRight. Now Shim's descendence Elm and Asher
will found significant people groups well knownhistorically and deeply involved in the history of
Israel. Less it's known about thepeoples that came from Luod and Aram.
(07:38):
Much of this same genealogical material ispresented in the Book of First Chronicles of
Let's see first Chronicles, chapter one, verses seventeen through twenty five. To
be specific, Sham's line through hisson or Pakshad, this one that leads
to Abraham and is right now.This makes Shim the ancestor of figures such
(08:05):
as King David and Jesus. Thisverse lists the sons of Shim, of
Shim's son a Ram. Little isknown from the Bible or external records about
the groups that came from these men. The only note where the name given
here is that of Us, whichis the same as the native land of
(08:28):
Joe Joe chapter one, verse one, mentioned in a few places in scripture
Jeremiah chapter twenty five, verse twentyas well as Lamations, I mean lamentations
chapter four, verse one twenty one, Chapter four, verse twenty one.
All right, I'll get it togetherhere in a minute. All right now,
Ham's son, miss Ram, isalso known as Egypt. As I
(08:52):
stated in one of our other maybeit was the the last weeks of discussion,
or a week four last discussion rather, but it was a discussion before
this one. All right now.Ham's son Caitlan, will father several cultures
(09:13):
which became bitter enemies of Israel.This chapter shows the original or the origins
of city states and nations which becomewell known throughout the rest of the Old
Testaments, such as May God,Tarsish, Kiddom, Cush, Babel,
Nineveh, Sidon, and so forth. All right, Now, Sham's lines
(09:33):
leads through our Pakshad to Sheilah,to Iber and eventually to Abraham and the
Israelites. This makes Shim the ancestorof the Messiah Jesus Christ. It also
fulfills the curse given by Noah inGenus chapter nine, verse twenty through twenty
five that Canan's descendants would be subservientto those of Sim. Now, Shim's
(09:56):
great grandson Eber, fathered to Sam'sline, will continue through p Leg to
Abraham and the Israelites. Now,this passage also makes an interesting comment about
one of SEM's descendants, p Leg. P Leg's name apparently comes from an
ancient word meaning to divide the divisionof the earth on p legs mentioned here.
(10:26):
The division of the earth in plegs mentioned here a likely refers to
the division and dispersal of humanity thatwill happen after the events surrounding the taw
Babel. At that point, mankindwill be dispersed over the earth and their
language is confused. Those events aredescribed in chapter eleven. Now, this
(10:50):
side long reference to p leg isalso used for understanding ancient writing. This
part of Genesis. This describes thedescendants of Noah's son sons I should say
sons plural, including their eventual geography. The chapter eleven would describe a moment
(11:13):
when mankind has dispersed over the earth, and this is due to the fact
that Genesis, like many ancient records, is more concerned with themes than with
chronology. All right now. Inother words, the story of the Taworth
Babel is not the point of thisparticular text, so it would be mentioned
(11:37):
later all right now. Scholars suggeststhat Ebers's other sons, Jacqtan, would
become the father of Arab peoples.In total, thirteen sons are listed.
The names of several of these sonsbecame associated with well known areas in the
larger region of the Middle East.Now, this is part of chapter ten's
(12:01):
table of nations, explaining the originof the ancient world's various people groups and
the actual dispersal of these people totheir eventual geographic regions does not seem to
occur until chapter eleven at the incidentof the two babel. Zira is a
Hebrew word meaning new moon. Lateron in history, that moon would become
(12:28):
one of the foremost gods worshiped inthe region which seems to be ancestral homeland
of Arabic people. That's moono nthat spells moon all right. Here we
continue the genealogy of Shim through hisgreat great grandson Jaqtan. Then total thirteen
(12:52):
sons are listed. The names ofseveral of these sons become well known areas
in the larger region of the MiddleEast. The name Uzzo may be Azel,
an old name for Sena or Sanati, the modern day capital of Yemen
(13:16):
or Yemen, indicating that this branchof jap Tan's line settled in that area.
As such, jap Tan would beconsidered the father of the Arabic people.
This particular part of Genesis is onlyconcerned with explaining the family relationships involved.
Exactly how and when these descendants arrivedin their territories it is not explained
(13:41):
here. Later, chapter eleven willexplain the incident of the Taiward Babel,
where these various peoples and tribes aredispersed across the earth. Jock Tan is
credited here with thirteen sons. Severalof these names will become well known within
the regions around in Israel. Infact, Jaqtan seems to be the father
(14:03):
of the Arabic people, as hissons are the primary inhabitants of those lands.
The regions of Ophir and Haalogh werefamous in the ancient were for their
gold, as we can find inGenesis chapter two, vers. Eleven.
Now, this verse describes the geographicalterritory occupied by the various groups of peoples
(14:28):
descended from joq Tan. Scholars areuncertain of exactly what modern day areas these
names represent. However, the informationgiven in the broader passage indicates that Jahtan
was the father of the Arabic people. As I've stated several times before,
this portion of scripture is devoted toexplain how shim Ham and Jay felt Noah's
(14:52):
sons became the ancestors of all theworld's nations. Some of the names listed
here will become a social created withfamous or infamous cities or regions of the
Bible, and explanation for how theyfound themselves living in different locations and speaking
different languages will come in Chapter tenI stand corrected chapter eleven. Those details
(15:18):
are part of the story of thetideward Babel in Genesis chapter eleven, verses
one through nine. However, theline from Shim to Abraham will be described
more specifically in chapter eleven. Thisentire chapter has been devoted to explaining the
origins of the Middle East various nations. All right, All people, including
(15:41):
every possible tribe or race, aredescended from Noah and his sons sham Ham
and Jafeld. Notably, the detailsin this part of the Bible are only
concerned with family relationships, other thana quick comment about pe Leg which,
oh, of course means to divideunintended. Oh anyways, Genesis chapter ten,
(16:06):
verse twenty five is where you canfind this information. The story of
how the different tribes wound up withseparated languages and territories is left entirely to
the next part of scripture. Thatexplanation will come through the story of the
Tower of Babel. Rather than focusingon a single deep line of fathers and
(16:30):
sons, this list has emphasized thebroad connection between all people instead of delving
into the details of how they cameto be separate people with separate nations and
languages. This passage simply explains howthese men were related to each other.
All right, The story of thetawer of Babel and the dispersal of humanity
(16:52):
will be told in chapter eleven.All right, so we will go ahead
and continue your own Do you havethe complexion for the protection? It is
(17:15):
now time for our life reflection,according to Smith's Sonian Institution. According to
smith Sonian Institution. Again, accordingto Smithsonian Institution, human evolution is the
lengthy process of change by which peopleare originated from ape like ancestors. This
(17:37):
is again according to Smith's Sonian Institutions. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and
behavior or traits shared by all peopleoriginated from ape like ancestors and evolved over
a period of approximately six million years. One of the earliest defining human traits
(17:57):
bi pedalism, the ability to walkon two legs, evolved over four million
years ago. Other important human characteristics, such as a large and complex brain,
the ability to make and use tools, and the capacity for language developed
more recently. Many advanced traits,including complex symbolic expression or an elaborate cultural
(18:25):
diversity, emerged mainly during the pastone hundred thousand years. Humans are primates
physical and genetic similarity to show thatthe modern human species Homo sapiens has a
very close relationship to another group ofprimate species, the apes. Humans and
the great apes large apes of Africa. Chimpanzees including bonnabos or so called pigamy.
(18:55):
Chimpanzees and guerrillas share are common thatlived between eight and six million years
ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on
that continent. The fossils of earlyhumans, who lived between six and two
million years ago come entirely from Africa. Most scientists currently recognize some fifteen to
(19:21):
twenty different species of early humans.Scientists do not all agree, however,
about how these species are related orwhich ones simply died out. Many early
human species, certainly the majority ofthem left no living descendants behind. Scientists
(19:44):
also debate over how to identify andclassify particular species of early humans, and
about what factors influenced the evolution andextinction of each species. Early humans first
migrated out of afric into Asia,probably between two million and one point eight
million years ago. According to Smithsonianinstitution. They entered Europe somewhat later,
(20:11):
between one point five million and onemillion years ago. Species of modern humans
populated many parts of the world muchlater. For instance, people first came
to Australia probably within the past sixtythousand years, and to the Americas within
the past thirty thousand years or so. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise
(20:37):
of the first civilizations occurred within thepast twelve thousand years. However, this
is scientific not biblical. Okay,this is scientific not biblical. Check this

on the origins of different nations andpeoples. It's fascinating to see how the

a significant role in shaping the ancientworld. The mention of the white man
