Gregory I’m so sorry to hear this. Praise God that we He continues with us through the valleys in our lives, holding us close. Praying for you and your family.

I said the truth and I provided the truth. I have moved on! The Bible is what will save us and not politic. YAHWEH told and gave the children borned under each of Noah's sons. HE stood against anyone that question who HE Created and what color their skin is. Miriam learned it and so did Peter! That where I stand and Noah never curse Ham and if anyone said Noah did they are not telling the truth! Melchizedek is the only one in the Bible called the High Priest of THE MOST HIGH and he ruled the city called Jerusalem during the time of Abraham. He was a Jebusite, from Canaan who came from Ham. Judah has twin sons from Tamara a Canaanite woman. Ruth was a Canaanite woman who was the grandmother of Boaz who married Ruth. Ruth was a Moabite and she was also half Canaanite. This was the line of king David. Solomon's mother as a Hittite and she too was a Canaanite. These are all Biblical and that's where I stand and no one can say anything different. YAHWEH is no respect of person and HIS SON is coming to save all who follow the principles of the Bible. All of it from Gen to Rev. Blessings!

Thank you for sharing this Gregory. I am so sorry to hear this news of your sister . I can't imagine how this would feel. I have 11 siblings and we are all still living. It sounds like your sister was an amazing woman - a miracle for her progress with Jesus; and now you have this wonderful hope of seeing her again in the resurrection. For my late wife and I, the resurrection was something we focused a lot on in her final days. It really encouraged her, and it is certainly a source of strength and hope for me now. We always read the 1 Thes 4 text that speaks about "sorrowing, NOT as others who don't have this hope. We can find much gratitude and hope in the promises of God. There is "light in every cloud." I have come to see that as "the Light of Christ." "The Light of the world."

I thought I would start this topic off with a poem that I wrote last week. I hope your Sabbath is a great and Godly day, as we celebrate Jesus and His love each week here: Courage Friend Courage friend, do not stumble Though your path is dark as night There's a Star to guide the humble Trust in God and look for Light Maybe the road is long and dreary and it's ending out of sight Foot it bravely, if even teary Trust in God and look for Light Tangled in doctrine and the sinning Away with all that fears The Light Whether losing, whether winning Trust in God and look for Light Some will see your life as very wrong They tend to flatter, lie or slight Through all that dims in your new song Search the clouds and look for Light So this simple rule I send your way for your inward peace and inner Light Sent in a heartbeat while I pray that what you find will make it right by David T Battler (copyright 2021, all rights reserved worldwide) If anyone else is interested in posting encouraging thoughts here every Friday night, please feel free. You are most welcome to help here with The Lord's work.

Text “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the LORD, “so will your name and descendants endure. From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD. Isa 66:22-23, NIV. Statement of […] The post Isa 66:22-23: Will There Be New Moons, Sabbaths and Voyeurism in the New Earth? appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

The topic is about racial issue that you refuse to agree to because as you stated before you do not care. I was wrong because I should have not say that I don't care. I do care and it makes me sad that something like this causes YAHWEH so much sadness. I am a part of this when I act like I don't care. I hope HE forgives me. I want people to know the truth. No mine but HIS and sometimes I go by it the wrong way because of my pain, hurt and yes my angryness. I have let that keep me from showing love and compassion even though I stand stand for truth. I do have feelings but haven't created anyone HE has and that's what's important. So, please forgive me for my thoughtfulness. I know that sin repeats itself and now it is worst. I will leave at it that because if one cannot see the hatred that has been spue out then I pray that YAHSHUA will open their eyes. Be bless Bonnie!

What is more important than the racial history is what is happening now. The censorship, book banning, word shaming, firing of individuals for statements made a decade earlier. That comes from the liberal left. The media is complicit in protecting the current administration. Even when there is criminal conduct. Latest is Hunter Biden again. And nope can't prove it but from what the media has reported the gun incident should raise some concerns but does not. Why would the secret service be involved before Biden was elected? There are so many Biden family incidences that the media would have had a massive melt down had it been Trump. The border is the most deliberate inhumane, racial ,demeaning It was deliberate, Biden was warned if he followed thru with dismantling what was working what would happen. That is concerning enough but realizing SDA's seem to be largely compliant with what is happening is disturbing. I do not visit all local churches but many that I know from other SDA congregations are on facebook. It is very easy to see the enthusiasm many have for censorship, individuals losing their jobs, banning books etc I know it has been creeping slowly in but since the death of George Floyd it is on steriods

I do not care what you care. I do need your approval, I need THE MOST HIGH! I have told you what delusional is that you will believe a lie. That is what I said which comes from the Bible. If you refuse to believe something true, like Biden won the election they you will believe a lie and do what happen to the Capitol. That's is what delusional is. If you don't see that people were in the Capitol were not ATIFA which do not exist, that's a lie and that's what delusional is. If you do not see what Georgia did and took a State Rep to jail for false reason, that's a lie and that's delusional. It is not about Republican or being Democratic. Its when you put any thing or anyone over the principles of the Bible that you will believe a lie, then Paul says that's delusional. I hope I made it plain. Be blessed!

It really is difficult trying to follow your line of reasoning. You said previously ...... It certainly appears that you are following it pretty well with all of you writing below! Paul also talk about being delusional that you believe a lie. I know this is true cause two people here has used the two-letter used for cussing. What am I delusional about and what lie am I believing? and what has bs have to do with being delusional? Simple, Bonnie is what you believe and how you act. You are full of rage making up false claims. You become so raged that now you will resort to using words that a person who says she is for the SAVIOR would not use. You can make your point across without using that word! Dont have a clue what delusional lie I believe and what that possibly has to do with your accusation that I was cussing. It is pretty obvious where your mind went as you determined what I was really saying. This is just plain silly and petty on your part. Hard to believe I am sure for someone who thinks like this but no I did not mean as you accuse. Utter nonsense is what I meant, I suggest you change your thinking away from cussing. So, why didn’t you say the words instead of the symbols? It is amazing to me that all of sudden this two letters together were the symbol used for cussing, but you say it meant something else. Hmmm, I show would like to know what it is, maybe you can help us here on the forum? I will not change my way of thinking. Like you said it utter nonsense and I will leave it at that! Yes you have judged...... Here we go again, I did say that thing you say, YAHSHUA states to love you enemies because great is your reward in Heaven. According to what you and others have said is the opposite. I don't believe you can find anywhere that someone has disagreed with that I judge but you haven’t, there is a double standard here. What have I said that is the opposite. Please tell me? Here is what I said and I will repeat it again! But you can judge me saying: “me and others have said is the opposite.” You want to make me out a villain because I stated truthfully, and I was not lying the things I said Trump have done. Yes, I agree I do believe you hate Trump. Like so many you are obsessed with what he has done or you believe he has done. It is almost constant. I do not believe it is character only that you hate. That is something you have to deal with. That is an opinion. That is not my problem. Boy, if that’s not judging I do not know what is! So, you can read my mind? You, are wrong I do not have an obsession with Trump. To be honest, you really do because you do not want to accept the truth! He lies that’s has been proven, he cheated on his wives that has been proven. He have had sex a lot with playboy bunnies and Porno queens and that’s what became a problem over his head! He is dishonest about his taxes. He has lost millions of dollar and his casinos. He took his own brother’s money from his children. His niece is suing him now. He was the one who told his followers a lie that the election was stolen. They believed him, but all the court wouldn’t. His own attorney general refuse to accept that lie and they departed. He wanted his Vice President not to accept the votes and he wouldn’t do it and the crowd wanted to hang him. Finally,the worst thing he did was call up the Secretary of the State and threaten him and his attorney if they wouldn’t give him the votes he needed they would be in criminal trouble. Now, there is a criminal investigation going on here in Georgia against him. So, I am making this all up? All of this was shown on national TV! What I really do have a problem with is your obsession with skin color/racism Most topics you are involved in on the forum have led to a history lesson in race . As important as that seems to be to you it might be hard for you to understand that most of us simply don't care. Even mentioning that I was privileged to work with women in Haiti was a racist statement to you. So far from it, I have more respect and admiration for those I work with in Haiti than anyone in the US that constantly whines about poverty or race. The group I work with are absolutely remarkable human beings. The history lesson is the truth. Maybe you do not like it and don’t want to believe it that’s fine. That’s a good thing you did for the Hattian People and it is not hard for me to understand. Those people just like my ancestors were shipped from Afrika. They too were chattel slaves and Joyce Reed on MSBN is Hattian. She speaks a lot about her homeland. And I love all of the Islanders most are nice people. It just that some Jamaicans and Barbados who are hard to get along with. But the ones who are not Adventist are great and wonderful. The Adventist from the other Island are wonderful and they are greatly loved. There is a lot more important issues in this world than the color of someone's skin. We differ on this point and I have explained why and I have moved on. The Asians are attack as well. The language they have is from Afrika! It is called Afroasiatic and why is that? The Asians people speak today a type of Hieroglyphics and they came from the Canaanites and the Bible in Gen Chapter 10 said they spread abroad. Chapter 14-on April 29, 2010 Where Do The Chinese Come From? Answer: Surely these shall come from afar; Look! Those from the north and the west, and these from the land of Sinim.” (ISAIAH 49:12) Bible: GENESIS 11:9; ACTS 17:26; JOHN 3:16 All people today came out of Babel (GENESIS 10:32), including the Chinese people. The Chinese came from the line of Noah’s son Ham and grandson Canaan. Some of these descendants were called Canaanites. One group of Canaanites was called the Sinites (GENESIS 10:15–17). Like the Sinai Peninsula, the names in the area reflect the names of Sineus or the Sinites, such as Mt. Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments (EXODUS 34:29) when leaving Egypt. The Chinese are descendants of these original Sinites and most call themselves “Han,” from Ham, one of Noah’s three sons. China in ancient times was called the land of the Sinites. This name is still used and the Bible even calls this distant land the land of Sinim (ISAIAH 49:12). Not all people in China are Sinites though. There are several people groups that made it to China. One group, the Maio people, have their ancestry through Noah’s son Japheth and his son Gomer. But let’s remember that all people in the world are descendants of Adam—which is why all people are sinners in need of salvation through Christ. Welcome to Kids Answers! Out of which of Noah’s three sons did the Chinese race come from? Below are comments from The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. He writes regarding Gen. 9:24: Descendants of Ham included the Egyptians and Sumerians, who founded the first two great empires of antiquity, as well as other great nations such as the Phoenicians, Hittites, and Canaanites. The modern African tribes and the Mongol tribes (including today the Chinese and Japanese), as well as the American Indians and the South Sea Islanders, are probably dominantly Hamitic in origin. Regarding Gen. 10:16-18 Morris writes: The Biblical mention of a people in the Far East named “Sinim” (Isaiah 49:12), together with references in ancient secular histories to people in the Far East called “Sinae,” at least suggests the possibility that some of Sin’s descendants migrated eastward, while others went south into the land of Canaan. It is significant that the Chinese people have always been identified by the prefix “Sino-” (e.g., Sino-Japanese War; Sinology, the study of Chinese history). The name “Sin” is frequently encountered in Chinese names in the form “Siang” or its equivalent. The evidence is tenuous but, of all the names in the Table of Nations, it does seem that two sons of Canaan, Heth (Hittites = Khittae = Cathay) and Sin (Sinites = Sinim = China), are the most likely to have become ancestors of the Oriental peoples. Since it seems reasonable that divine inspiration would include in such a table information concerning the ancestry of all the major streams of human development, it is reasonable to conclude that the Mongoloid peoples (and therefore also the American Indians) have come mostly from the Hamitic line. Bible.org Ham. Also, Kham. Literal meanings are hot, burnt, or dark (father of the Mongoloid and Negroid races - Hamites). He was the progenitor of: (1) Canaan "down low" (sons were Zidon1, Heth, Amori, Gergashi, Hivi, Arkee, Seni, Arodi, Zimodi and Chamothi) - also Canaanites, Cana, Chna, Chanani, Chanana, Canaana, Kana, Kenaanah, Kena'ani, Kena'an, Kn'nw, Kyn'nw, Kinnahu, Kinachi, Kinahan, Kinahan, Kinahan (Mongols, Chinese, Japanese, Asians, Malayasians, AmerIndians2, Eskimos, Polynesians, Pacific Islanders, related groups3); (2) Cush "black" (sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raama and Satecha) - also Chus, Kush, Kosh (Nubians, Ethiopians, Sudanese, Ghanaians, Africans4, Bushmen, Pygmies, Australian Aborigines, New Guineans, other related groups); (3) Mizraim "double straits" (sons were Lud, Anom, Pathros, Chasloth and Chaphtor) - also Misraim, Mitzraim, Mizraite, Mitsrayim (Egyptians, Copts); (4) Phut "a bow" (sons were Gebul, Hadan, Benah and Adan) - also Putaya, Putiya, Punt, Puta, Put, Libya, Libya (Libyans, Cyrenacians (The Philistines), Tunisians, Berbers, Somalians, North Africans, other related groups). Tribes in other parts of Africa, Arabia and Asia, aboriginal groups in Australia, native Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Eskimos were birthed from descendants of Canaan, Cush, Mizraim, and Phut. Looking at history, whichever region is considered, Africa, Europe, Australia, or America, the major migrations have always been from Asia. In every area of the world where Japhethites have subsequently settled, they have always been preceded by Hamites. This pattern applies in every continent. In early historic times the circumstance seems always to be true, the earliest fossil remains of man being Mongoloid or Negroid in character and in head shape, whereas those that came last belong to the family of Japheth (Caucasoid). If you study ancient history and technological achievements, which were in many ways the equal of, or superior of, much that we have today, were founded and carried to a high technological proficiency by Hamitic people, showing an amazing adaptability to the world in which they live. Their achievements were exploited by the Japhetic people, who became great scientific discoverers. The Hamitic migrations indicate they sought a way of life, not an understanding or a control of nature beyond what was immediately useful. 11. Zidon (or Sidon) and his descendants settled on the Mediterranean coast of present-day Lebanon, then known as the land of Canaan. The Sidonians called themselves Kena'ani, or Canaanites. Interestingly, the Canaanites spoke a *Semitic language, probably adopted from a large migration of Semites who came from land and sea, and introduced their language and a sophisticated maritime technology about 1800 B.C. Historians suggest the first Canaanites succumbed to racial and linguistic intermixture with the invading Semites, which led to the loss of their own ethnic predominance, as evidenced by modern excavations. They eventually moved westward and occupied a very narrow coastal strip of the east Mediterranean, building new cities, and establishing significant trade with neighboring nations. In fact, the Israelite name for "Canaan" came to mean "traders", though some suggest the name Canaan is from the Hebrew name Hurrian, meaning "belonging to the land of red purple." The Canaanites were known for their red and purple cloth (a purple dye was extracted from murex snails found near the shores of Palestine, a method now lost). The Greeks called the land of Canaan "Phoenicia", which meant "purple". The Phoenicians became a nation of great trade, language, and culture. Phoenician, Hebrew, and Moabite were a group of west Semitic languages, all dialects from Canaan, as referred to in Isaiah 19:18. The writing system of the Phoenicians is the source of the writing systems of nearly all of Europe, including Greek, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, and the Roman alphabet. The Phoenician empire fell under Hellenistic rule after being conquered by Alexander the Great about 332 B.C. In 64 B.C. the name of Phoenicia disappeared entirely, becoming a part of the Roman province of Syria. At the beginning of the Christian era, remaining Phoenicians were the first to accept the Christian faith after the Jews. Zidon's name is still perpetuated in the modern-day city of Sidon (Saidoon is the Phoenician name, Saida in Arabic) in southern Lebanon. 2. Evidence for diverse migrations into the Americas comes from research on living American Indian populations, which includes data from Mitochondrial DNA. These studies have consistently shown similarities between American Indians and recent populations in Asia, Siberia and northern Scandinavia. These groups include the Lapps in northern Europe/Scandinavia, the Yukaghir in Siberia, plus Indians and Eskimos/Aleuts throughout Canada and America. Ancient skeletal remains show a range of physical attributes (round-headed) suggesting separate migrations of different populations from Asia and the South Pacific, representing 95 percent of all modern American Indian populations. One unique exception are the Sioux Indians, the popular, red-skinned tribe having a long-head shape similar to that of early Italic peoples in Europe. They are thought to be descendants of Canaanites who intermarried with Indo-Europeans while migrating across Europe, and subsequently sailing to America. Studies of the native languages of the Americas have shown them to be extremely diverse, representing nearly two hundred distinct families, some consisting of a single isolated language. 3. The vast aggregate of peoples who are generally classified as Mongoloid, who settled the Far East, have been a question as to where they fall into the Table of Nations. The evidence shows they are Hamitic, even though some have incorrectly reasoned that the Chinese were of Japhetic stock, and the Japanese were either Japhetic or Semitic. There are two names which provide clues. Two of Canaan's sons, Heth (Hittites) and Sin (Sinites), are presumed to be the progenitors of Chinese and Mongoloid stock. The Hittites were known as the Hatti or Chatti. In Egyptian monuments the Hittite peoples were depicted with prominent noses, full lips, high check-bones, hairless faces, varying skin color from brown to yellowish and reddish, straight black hair and dark brown eyes. The term Hittite in Cuneiform (the earliest form of writing invented by the Sumerians) appears as Khittae* representing a once powerful nation from the Far East known as the Khitai, and has been preserved through the centuries in the more familiar term, Cathay. The Cathay were Mongoloids, considered a part of early Chinese stock. There are links between the known Hittites and Cathay, for example, their modes of dress, their shoes with turned-up toes, their manner of doing their hair in a pigtail, and so forth. Representations show them to have possessed high cheekbones, and craniologists have observed that they had common characteristics of Mongoloids. *Khittae has, at times, been incorrectly associated with Kittim or Chittim (Greek Kition, Roman Citium, Jewish Cethimus), son of Javan, son of Japheth. Interestingly enough, Javan has been incorrectly interpreted to mean Japan. History distinctly shows Javan to be the ancestor of the Greeks and other related Mediterranean people groups. Sin (or Seni), a brother of Heth, has many occurrences in variant forms in the Far East. There is one significant feature concerning the likely mode of origin of Chinese civilization. The place most closely associated by the Chinese themselves with the origin of their civilization is the capital of Shensi, namely, Siang-fu (Father Sin). Siang-fu appears in Assyrian records as Sianu. Today, Siang-fu can be loosely translated, "Peace to the Western Capital of China". The Chinese have a tradition that their first king, Fu-hi or Fohi (Chinese Noah), made his appearance on the Mountains of Chin, was surrounded by a rainbow after the world had been covered with water, and sacrificed animals to God (corresponding to the Genesis record). Sin himself was the third generation from Noah, a circumstance which would provide the right time interval for the formation of early Chinese culture. Furthermore, those who came from the Far East to trade were called Sinæ (Sin) by the Scythians. Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, referred to China as the land of Sinim or Sinæ. Reference to the Sinim in Isaiah 49:12 notes they came "from afar," specifically not from the north and not from the west. Arabs called China Sin, Chin, Mahachin, Machin. The Sinæ were spoken of as a people in the remotest parts of Asia. For the Sinæ, the most important town was Thinæ, a great trading emporium in western China. The city Thinæ is now known as Thsin or simply Tin, and it lies in the province of Shensi. Much of China was ruled by the Sino-Khitan Empire (960-1126 A.D.), which Beijing became the southern capital. The Sinæ became independent in western China, their princes reigning there for some 650 years before they finally gained dominion over the whole land. In the third century B.C., the dynasty of Tsin became supreme. The word Tsin itself came to have the meaning of purebred. This word was assumed as a title by the Manchu Emperors and is believed to have been changed into the form Tchina. From there the term was brought into Europe as China, probably from the Ch'in or Qin dynasty (255-206 B.C.). The Greek word for China is Kina (Latin is Sina). As well, Chinese, and surrounding languages are part of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Years ago, American newspapers regularly carried headlines with reference to the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese in which the ancient name reappeared in its original form, the Sino-Japanese war. Sinology refers to the study of Chinese history. With respect to the Cathay people of historical reference, it would make sense to suppose that the remnants of the Hittites, after the destruction of their empire, travelled towards the east and settled among the Sinites who were relatives, contributing to their civilization, and thus becoming the ancestors of the Asian people groups. Still others migrated throughout the region and beyond, making up present-day Mongoloid races in Asia and the Americas. The evidence strongly suggests that Ham's grandsons, Heth (Hittites/Cathay) and Sin (Sinites/China), are the ancestors of the Mongoloid peoples. 4There are many native African tribes which trace themselves back traditionally to Ham. The Yoruba, who are black skinned, for example, claim to be descendants of Nimrod, son of Cush, whereas the Libyans, who are much lighter skinned, are traced back to Phut. The Egyptians were direct descendants of Mizraim. Ancient Egyptians have been considered the greatest technicians in all human history. Other African groups trace their roots back to Ham or one of his descendants. It is therefore suggested that all of Africa, despite the different shades of color of its native populations, was initially settled by various members of this one Hamitic family. The evidence appears to point consistently in the same direction, supporting that not only Africa with its black races, but the Far East, the Americas, and other Island nations with their colored races were all descendants of Ham. The Hamitic people were the first to reach the far and distant lands of the world, preparing the way for the future. Their inventions and discoveries made a significant impact on the world and provided inspiration for the Japhethites. THE TABLE OF NATIONS by Tim Osterholm Wow, I guess a lot of people are more obsessed than me, right! I do not agreed with brother Osterholm that the Semitic people language was used by the Canaanites and Afrika. The Bible makes it very plain, that Abraham came to Canaan and they were already speaking their language. He knew it because like English today they were the traders and they brought their language to other people. But, again false racism that the Canaanites and a large part of Afrikan that the Semitic people never visited all of sudden speaks a Semitic language. Really! When they can't decipher Elam a son of Shem's language, which should be easy if they have a Semitic language most people language who are related syntax and grammar are related. Yet, they cannot decipher the hundreds of tablets of the Elamites??? Strange? What do I know, I am just this unknowledgeb/e person who shows where she graduate in her profile. But you know, I appeared to be ignorant to some! Blessings! PS: Left out some and tried to edit but it didn't so it is here

He writes regarding Gen. 9:24: Descendants of Ham included the Egyptians and Sumerians, who founded the first two great empires of antiquity, as well as other great nations such as the Phoenicians, Hittites, and Canaanites. The modern African tribes and the Mongol tribes (including today the Chinese and Japanese), as well as the American Indians and the South Sea Islanders, are probably dominantly Hamitic in origin. Regarding Gen. 10:16-18 Morris writes: The Biblical mention of a people in the Far East named “Sinim” (Isaiah 49:12), together with references in ancient secular histories to people in the Far East called “Sinae,” at least suggests the possibility that some of Sin’s descendants migrated eastward, while others went south into the land of Canaan. It is significant that the Chinese people have always been identified by the prefix “Sino-” (e.g., Sino-Japanese War; Sinology, the study of Chinese history). The name “Sin” is frequently encountered in Chinese names in the form “Siang” or its equivalent. The evidence is tenuous but, of all the names in the Table of Nations, it does seem that two sons of Canaan, Heth (Hittites = Khittae = Cathay) and Sin (Sinites = Sinim = China), are the most likely to have become ancestors of the Oriental peoples. Since it seems reasonable that divine inspiration would include in such a table information concerning the ancestry of all the major streams of human development, it is reasonable to conclude that the Mongoloid peoples (and therefore also the American Indians) have come mostly from the Hamitic line. Bible.org Ham. Also, Kham. Literal meanings are hot, burnt, or dark (father of the Mongoloid and Negroid races - Hamites). He was the progenitor of: (1) Canaan "down low" (sons were Zidon1, Heth, Amori, Gergashi, Hivi, Arkee, Seni, Arodi, Zimodi and Chamothi) - also Canaanites, Cana, Chna, Chanani, Chanana, Canaana, Kana, Kenaanah, Kena'ani, Kena'an, Kn'nw, Kyn'nw, Kinnahu, Kinachi, Kinahan, Kinahan, Kinahan (Mongols, Chinese, Japanese, Asians, Malayasians, AmerIndians2, Eskimos, Polynesians, Pacific Islanders, related groups3); (2) Cush "black" (sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raama and Satecha) - also Chus, Kush, Kosh (Nubians, Ethiopians, Sudanese, Ghanaians, Africans4, Bushmen, Pygmies, Australian Aborigines, New Guineans, other related groups); (3) Mizraim "double straits" (sons were Lud, Anom, Pathros, Chasloth and Chaphtor) - also Misraim, Mitzraim, Mizraite, Mitsrayim (Egyptians, Copts); (4) Phut "a bow" (sons were Gebul, Hadan, Benah and Adan) - also Putaya, Putiya, Punt, Puta, Put, Libya, Libya (Libyans, Cyrenacians (The Philistines), Tunisians, Berbers, Somalians, North Africans, other related groups). Tribes in other parts of Africa, Arabia and Asia, aboriginal groups in Australia, native Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Eskimos were birthed from descendants of Canaan, Cush, Mizraim, and Phut. Looking at history, whichever region is considered, Africa, Europe, Australia, or America, the major migrations have always been from Asia. In every area of the world where Japhethites have subsequently settled, they have always been preceded by Hamites. This pattern applies in every continent. In early historic times the circumstance seems always to be true, the earliest fossil remains of man being Mongoloid or Negroid in character and in head shape, whereas those that came last belong to the family of Japheth (Caucasoid). If you study ancient history and technological achievements, which were in many ways the equal of, or superior of, much that we have today, were founded and carried to a high technological proficiency by Hamitic people, showing an amazing adaptability to the world in which they live. Their achievements were exploited by the Japhetic people, who became great scientific discoverers. The Hamitic migrations indicate they sought a way of life, not an understanding or a control of nature beyond what was immediately useful. 11. Zidon (or Sidon) and his descendants settled on the Mediterranean coast of present-day Lebanon, then known as the land of Canaan. The Sidonians called themselves Kena'ani, or Canaanites. Interestingly, the Canaanites spoke a *Semitic language, probably adopted from a large migration of Semites who came from land and sea, and introduced their language and a sophisticated maritime technology about 1800 B.C. Historians suggest the first Canaanites succumbed to racial and linguistic intermixture with the invading Semites, which led to the loss of their own ethnic predominance, as evidenced by modern excavations. They eventually moved westward and occupied a very narrow coastal strip of the east Mediterranean, building new cities, and establishing significant trade with neighboring nations. In fact, the Israelite name for "Canaan" came to mean "traders", though some suggest the name Canaan is from the Hebrew name Hurrian, meaning "belonging to the land of red purple." The Canaanites were known for their red and purple cloth (a purple dye was extracted from murex snails found near the shores of Palestine, a method now lost). The Greeks called the land of Canaan "Phoenicia", which meant "purple". The Phoenicians became a nation of great trade, language, and culture. Phoenician, Hebrew, and Moabite were a group of west Semitic languages, all dialects from Canaan, as referred to in Isaiah 19:18. The writing system of the Phoenicians is the source of the writing systems of nearly all of Europe, including Greek, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, and the Roman alphabet. The Phoenician empire fell under Hellenistic rule after being conquered by Alexander the Great about 332 B.C. In 64 B.C. the name of Phoenicia disappeared entirely, becoming a part of the Roman province of Syria. At the beginning of the Christian era, remaining Phoenicians were the first to accept the Christian faith after the Jews. Zidon's name is still perpetuated in the modern-day city of Sidon (Saidoon is the Phoenician name, Saida in Arabic) in southern Lebanon. 2. Evidence for diverse migrations into the Americas comes from research on living American Indian populations, which includes data from Mitochondrial DNA. These studies have consistently shown similarities between American Indians and recent populations in Asia, Siberia and northern Scandinavia. These groups include the Lapps in northern Europe/Scandinavia, the Yukaghir in Siberia, plus Indians and Eskimos/Aleuts throughout Canada and America. Ancient skeletal remains show a range of physical attributes (round-headed) suggesting separate migrations of different populations from Asia and the South Pacific, representing 95 percent of all modern American Indian populations. One unique exception are the Sioux Indians, the popular, red-skinned tribe having a long-head shape similar to that of early Italic peoples in Europe. They are thought to be descendants of Canaanites who intermarried with Indo-Europeans while migrating across Europe, and subsequently sailing to America. Studies of the native languages of the Americas have shown them to be extremely diverse, representing nearly two hundred distinct families, some consisting of a single isolated language. 3. The vast aggregate of peoples who are generally classified as Mongoloid, who settled the Far East, have been a question as to where they fall into the Table of Nations. The evidence shows they are Hamitic, even though some have incorrectly reasoned that the Chinese were of Japhetic stock, and the Japanese were either Japhetic or Semitic. There are two names which provide clues. Two of Canaan's sons, Heth (Hittites) and Sin (Sinites), are presumed to be the progenitors of Chinese and Mongoloid stock. The Hittites were known as the Hatti or Chatti. In Egyptian monuments the Hittite peoples were depicted with prominent noses, full lips, high check-bones, hairless faces, varying skin color from brown to yellowish and reddish, straight black hair and dark brown eyes. The term Hittite in Cuneiform (the earliest form of writing invented by the Sumerians) appears as Khittae* representing a once powerful nation from the Far East known as the Khitai, and has been preserved through the centuries in the more familiar term, Cathay. The Cathay were Mongoloids, considered a part of early Chinese stock. There are links between the known Hittites and Cathay, for example, their modes of dress, their shoes with turned-up toes, their manner of doing their hair in a pigtail, and so forth. Representations show them to have possessed high cheekbones, and craniologists have observed that they had common characteristics of Mongoloids. *Khittae has, at times, been incorrectly associated with Kittim or Chittim (Greek Kition, Roman Citium, Jewish Cethimus), son of Javan, son of Japheth. Interestingly enough, Javan has been incorrectly interpreted to mean Japan. History distinctly shows Javan to be the ancestor of the Greeks and other related Mediterranean people groups. Sin (or Seni), a brother of Heth, has many occurrences in variant forms in the Far East. There is one significant feature concerning the likely mode of origin of Chinese civilization. The place most closely associated by the Chinese themselves with the origin of their civilization is the capital of Shensi, namely, Siang-fu (Father Sin). Siang-fu appears in Assyrian records as Sianu. Today, Siang-fu can be loosely translated, "Peace to the Western Capital of China". The Chinese have a tradition that their first king, Fu-hi or Fohi (Chinese Noah), made his appearance on the Mountains of Chin, was surrounded by a rainbow after the world had been covered with water, and sacrificed animals to God (corresponding to the Genesis record). Sin himself was the third generation from Noah, a circumstance which would provide the right time interval for the formation of early Chinese culture. Furthermore, those who came from the Far East to trade were called Sinæ (Sin) by the Scythians. Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, referred to China as the land of Sinim or Sinæ. Reference to the Sinim in Isaiah 49:12 notes they came "from afar," specifically not from the north and not from the west. Arabs called China Sin, Chin, Mahachin, Machin. The Sinæ were spoken of as a people in the remotest parts of Asia. For the Sinæ, the most important town was Thinæ, a great trading emporium in western China. The city Thinæ is now known as Thsin or simply Tin, and it lies in the province of Shensi. Much of China was ruled by the Sino-Khitan Empire (960-1126 A.D.), which Beijing became the southern capital. The Sinæ became independent in western China, their princes reigning there for some 650 years before they finally gained dominion over the whole land. In the third century B.C., the dynasty of Tsin became supreme. The word Tsin itself came to have the meaning of purebred. This word was assumed as a title by the Manchu Emperors and is believed to have been changed into the form Tchina. From there the term was brought into Europe as China, probably from the Ch'in or Qin dynasty (255-206 B.C.). The Greek word for China is Kina (Latin is Sina). As well, Chinese, and surrounding languages are part of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Years ago, American newspapers regularly carried headlines with reference to the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese in which the ancient name reappeared in its original form, the Sino-Japanese war. Sinology refers to the study of Chinese history. With respect to the Cathay people of historical reference, it would make sense to suppose that the remnants of the Hittites, after the destruction of their empire, travelled towards the east and settled among the Sinites who were relatives, contributing to their civilization, and thus becoming the ancestors of the Asian people groups. Still others migrated throughout the region and beyond, making up present-day Mongoloid races in Asia and the Americas. The evidence strongly suggests that Ham's grandsons, Heth (Hittites/Cathay) and Sin (Sinites/China), are the ancestors of the Mongoloid peoples. 4There are many native African tribes which trace themselves back traditionally to Ham. The Yoruba, who are black skinned, for example, claim to be descendants of Nimrod, son of Cush, whereas the Libyans, who are much lighter skinned, are traced back to Phut. The Egyptians were direct descendants of Mizraim. Ancient Egyptians have been considered the greatest technicians in all human history. Other African groups trace their roots back to Ham or one of his descendants. It is therefore suggested that all of Africa, despite the different shades of color of its native populations, was initially settled by various members of this one Hamitic family. The evidence appears to point consistently in the same direction, supporting that not only Africa with its black races, but the Far East, the Americas, and other Island nations with their colored races were all descendants of Ham. The Hamitic people were the first to reach the far and distant lands of the world, preparing the way for the future. Their inventions and discoveries made a significant impact on the world and provided inspiration for the Japhethites. THE TABLE OF NATIONS by Tim Osterholm Wow, I guess a lot of people are more obsessed than me, right! Blessings!

Sorry to hear that GM!!

Impressive life! Grateful for all he did and sad that he fell asleep. Life is too short.

⚰️From death unto life? John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

I am afraid you will be a very old man before you see any type of apology concerning Trump. After watching the Biden press conference I am just hoping they can prop Biden up long enough to get to the end of his first term. Doesn't seem likely but the thought of a President Harris and Nancy Pelosi ,second in line unrestrained is frightening. Many think he is in early stages of dementia, supporters deny it. It is gets harder to believe the left actually think this behavior is normal. This man frequently stumbles to complete a consistent thought. We can all speculate but I live every day with the behavior that Biden exhibits in almost every public appearance. I also took care of my mother 24/7 after her stroke. Identical behavior. This was seen and noted prior to the election, but the hatred for Trump was/is so intense that it appears that many of those voting Biden would rather have a cognitively impaired president than someone that they hate so completely. I do think it is the way we will get a woman president

Your words reflect insight.

Thank you my friend! I appreciate hearing that! The Scripture in my signature kind of explains the last post I made above :) Jesus has given me much comfort; it wouldn't be right if I did not share that with others who might be going through a similar journey, now or in the future.

Read more carefully. The author is trying to address those who find this passage difficult. He is not saying there will be death

I am struggling to decipher what you actually mean by this comment. I would like to see a little more explanation on this point so I can comprehend what you are saying here This is how the NKJV cites the text of Romans 8:3 I, for example, do not see anything in this verse that says "the law of sin." Sin, in the usual "corporate" sense, would perhaps not involve "a law of sin" half as much as it indicates a condition or nature of humans in general; which Jesus did not inherit in any way. He had a very different "nature." And I doubt that "nature" here would refer to physical Substance of Christ. This text of Romans 8:3 only states that "the law could not do..." because of our "sinful flesh." It does not call this "the law of sin. The Law; being a transcript of God's character, cannot possibly be "a law of sin. Its just that when we break that law, we choose to sin, and the law acts as a "mirror" of sorts to reflect our true nature. And the character of what we do or don't do. Breaking God's Law is sin if we choose to do that. But its not a law of sin. Its simply "the law of God." Jesus was sent, according to Romans 8:3 ONLY "in the likeness" of sinful flesh. NOT as a replica. But the Bible also reflects that Jesus used the same methods and means to "fulfill" His law showing us how to live as well. Jesus had to depend upon The Father, just the same as we need to do today. His experience is to be ours in this regard. While the "principle of sin" and the "act of sin" may sound quite distinguished, there is no reason to try and use English Grammar, in the words of FD Nicho,l in the above cited commentary, to try to accurately define Biblical language, grammar, or intent. Its simply not ever a good Bible study habit to get into.

Tuesday morning we were notified that, Monday night, the police had discovered the body of my sister, dead in her bed. She is believed to have died Sunday night. This was not expected. She had a very rough life. She had overcome alcohol, and finally tobacco. Two to three years ago she had returned to the church of her childhood. I shall see her again.
