Genesis
10 – Personalities
Noah
had Shem, Ham and Japheth. Japheth had
seven sons, three grandsons from Gomer and four grandsons from Javan. Fourteen nations came from Japheth.
Ham
had four sons, Mizraim gave him six grandsons and Cush gave him six grandsons.
One of which was Nimrod, son of Canaan. 30
Nations came from Ham. According to J.
Vernon McGee Commentary, Nimrod tried to bring the human race together after
the flood. He wanted to become a world ruler.
He was the likeness of the Antichrist who is yet to come.
Shem
had five sons, one grandson, one great grandson, and two great, great grandsons.
Fourteen of the fifth generation from the lineage of Arphaxad, son of
Shem. Four sons of the lineage of Aram.
26 Nations came from Shem.
After
Chapter 11, Ham and Japheth is left behind and Shem’s generation goes forward
in the remaining books up through the life of Jesus Christ.
From
the beginning, God created a personality.
Every individual named in the Bible had a personality. Some persons had stronger personalities than
others. I will speak of some of them in
future lessons. You and I have a
personality. It is important to find our
identity in Christ. Not just because we
were created or named in our genealogy, but because our personality lives on
longer than our lives. God made each of
us unique and special. Our identity is
what God purposed us to be. If we know
our personality and we match it up to what God wants from us, then we will soon
discover our identity in Christ.
Searching through the scriptures, getting to know who God is, will help
us form the identity we should have in Christ.
Thank
you all for reading my posts. I hope
they inspire you to live your life according to God’s Word.
