“The Birth & Increase of the Nations”
Pastor Hiroyuki Anjiki
1. The meaning of the lineage record
2. The descendants of Noah’s three sons
(1) Genesis 10:2-5 The descendants of Japheth
(2) Genesis 10:6-20 The descendants of Ham
　Genesis 10:6 “Cush” = Ethiopians
　Genesis 10:6 “Egypt” = Egyptians
　Genesis 10:6 “Put” = Libyans
　Genesis 10:6 “Canaan” = Palestine area indigenous people
(3) Genesis 10:21-31 The descendants of Shem
　Genesis 10:21 “Eber” = to pass over/by (in Hebrew)
　Genesis 10:25 “Peleg” = to separate (the incident of the Tower of Babel)
3. The increase in human sin and God’s plan for salvation
* Genesis 10:9 “before the Lord” = “thanks to the Lord” (another translation)
* Acts 17:26, 27, 30 “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us… In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.” (NIV)
* 1 John 4:9 “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” (NIV)
Thoughts to share at mini church:
1. What is the lineage record in chapter 10 telling us?
2. Where do you think “God’s grace” is shown in this lineage record?
