In Our Last Lesson, We Witnessed God’s Grace As He Renewed Creation.
God Didn’t Just Renew The Physical World;
He Went So Far As To Covenant With Noah.
This New Covenant Is A Promise That Noah And His Offspring Will Be God’s People In The Renewed World.
INTRODUCTION:
This Table Of Nations Is Crafted To:
-Be The Most Important Nations In The Ancient Near East.
-Preserve The Knowledge Of The Line Of Families That Show How God Brings Forth A Savior.
-Record Of Mankind’s Depravity.
A. A Whole New World Before Noah And His Family,
Noah Falls Into Sin.
PROOF: Mankind Are Sinners Even Saved People !!
To walk with God daily, we are to renew our minds and be committed to doing His will.
MANKIND MUST WALK CLOSE TO GOD
IF THERE IS TO BE PROGRESSIVE VICTORY OVER SIN.
Romans: Therefore, By The Mercies Of God,
In View Of What God Has Done For You:
Dying For Your Sins,
Being Resurrected,
Providing This Salvation,
I Urge You To Present Your Bodies As A Living Sacrifice For This Is Your Spiritual Worship.
He's Not Asking Us To Die, Because Jesus Died For Our Sins.
He's Asking Us To Live And That's Rather Reasonable.
This Is Your Reasonable Spiritual Worship.
B. A Record Of The Various Families Of The Earth.
There Is Just One Human Race And Various Family Groupings Within That Race.
I. THREE FAMILIES 9:18-19.
Noah’s Sons.
A. And The Sons Of Noah, That Went Forth From The Ark: Shem, And Ham, And Japheth:
From Noah’s Three Sons Came The Various Major Family Groupings Of The Human Race.
The Descendants Of Shem Are Essentially The Semitic People (Jews And The Arabs).
The Descendants Of Ham Are The Southern Nations (Middle East, Egypt, South Arabia, Parts Of Africa, Etc.).
The Descendants Of Japheth Are The Indo-Europeans.
B. These Are Three Of The Sons Of Noah:
Most Descendants Of Mankind From 1 Of These 3 Sons.
Again, Mostly These Three Families Populated The Whole Earth Even Though Noah Had More Than 3 Sons.
II. NOAH BEGAN TO BE A FARMER.
He Planted A Vineyard.
Note: How Long To Produce Fermented Grapes? 3 years.
1. Noah Drank Of The Wine Produced And Became Drunk.
Noah’s Drunken Mistake.
Noah Gets Drunk And The Bible Teaches That Is Sinful.
2. Noah Was Uncovered Within His Tent.
Noah Drinks His Wine.
Noah’s Drunkenness Led To Forgoing His Modesty.
He Took His Clothes Off And Fell Asleep.
Ham, The Father Of Canaan:
Ham Sees Noah.
Ham Saw The Nakedness Of His Father.
Ham Told His Two Brothers.
Ham Seems To Have Expressed Disrespect For His Father.
The Text Says:
Ham Saw His Father In The Buff.
He Did Not Cover His Nakedness.
Noah Acted Shamefully.
But Ham, Instead Of Covering His Father's Shame,
Left Him Naked
And Gossiped About It With His Brothers.
His Brothers Who Did Not Share His Amusement.
Ham Sin Was That He Dishonored His Father.
It Is Very Serious:
The Lord Said Honor Your Father And Your Mother.
So That You May Live Long In The Land That God Is Giving You.
Canaan's Descendants, The Canaanites, Would Have Their Land Taken From Them And Given To Shem's Descendants, The Israelites.
From The Line Of Shem Would Also Come A Savior Jesus Christ Who Covers Our Shame.
B. And Shem And Japheth Took A Garment:
Shem And Japheth Cover Noah.
They Laid It Upon Both Of The Shoulders Of Noah.
They Went Backward, They Covered Noah's Nakedness.
Their Faces Were Backward,
They DID NOT LOOK At Their Father’s Nakedness.
The Other Two Brothers Had Nothing To Do With This Sin.
They Refused To Look Upon Their Father’s Nakedness.
III. THE CURSE ON CANAAN 9:24-27.
Curse and Blessing.
A. Noah Awoke From His Inebriation:
How Did Noah Discovered What HAM Had Done To Him?
Was There A Full Disclosure From The Brothers?
B. Noah Said: CURSED Be Canaan; A Servant Of Servants Shall He Be Unto His Brethren:
The Curse of Ham.
This Curse Was Specifically On Ham's Descendant.
(Gen. 10:15-19).
This Curse Was Pronounced On Canaan.
Canaan: Youngest Son Of Ham | Grandson Of Noah.
Canaan Would Be Placed Under The Greatest Possible Servitude And Would Be A Slave To Shem And Japheth.
This Is A Prophetic Curse And Has Its Fulfillment In History.
1. Did God Curse Canaan?
It Was Ham Who Sinned And Not Canaan.
Why then does God curse Canaan?
GUIDED BY DIVINE PROVIDENCE: Noah Curses Canaan.
2. How Was This Curse Fulfilled in History?
Genesis 10:15-19: The Canaanites Settled In The Area Which Is Now Palestine.
These Canaanite Tribes Were All Conquered When Israel Entered The Land, Bringing Fulfillment Of The Curse.
C. Noah Said: BLESSED Be The Lord God Of Shem; And Canaan Shall Be Shem's Servant:
Blessings of Shem and Japheth.
Noah Pronounces Special Spiritual Blessings For The Shemites.
The Spiritual Shemites Are The Jews !!
The Instrument That God Uses For Thousands Of Years.
The Race Of People To Be God's Message To The World.
The Messiah Came Through The Family Of Shem.
NOTE:
The Shemites, Whether Jews Or Arabs, Are Very Religious People.
It Is Interesting To Note That The Three Great Religions Of The World Are From The Semitic Family: Judaism, Islam And Christianity.
D. God Shall Enlarge Japheth, And He Shall Dwell In The Tents Of Shem; And Canaan Shall Be His Servant:
Japheth Was Promised Enlargement.
This Line Of People Are Primarily Those Of The Indo-European.
The Entire Western World Has Been Settled By This Line.
The Asian And Indo-Asian People Are From This Line.
IV. THE DEATH OF NOAH (9:28-29).
Noah Lived and Died.
And He Died: Tells Us That Even The Great Men Of God Have To Die.
But God Will Raise Up Others To Follow.
Yet, Death For The Saint Means That He Goes To Be With His Lord.
