ALL MANKIND descended from the first human pair, Adam
and Eve (Gen. 1:28; 3:30; 5:1-2). After the Flood, earth's
new population included all the races and national groups
on earth today, which descended from Noah and his three
sons. The Genesis 10 account lists 70 offspring as the
descendants of Noah's sons, Japheth, Shem and Ham.While
the Bible is very
clear as to the origins of the major races, there are
several untruths that has been taught which need to
be corrected. Due to the fact that the Europeans currently
rule the earth, they have managed to paint all of the
great nations of antiquity "white" like them,
including the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines,
Phoenicians, |

Hebrews, Assyrians,
and Babylonians. However, this lie has become increasingly
more difficult to defend since archeologists began unearthing
numerous mummies of Egyptian Pharaohs in the 1930's! Ancient
writings
and monuments have also been found that prove that both the
descendants
of Ham (The Africans, i.e., the Egyptians) as well as the
Shemites
(Middle Eastern peoples, i.e. The Hebrew Israelites) were
dark skinned races - not white! This destroys the myth that
all Biblical characters were
white people! The biggest cause for confusion among the nations
today is: “Who Are the Gentiles?” The word "Gentile"
is seen numerous times throughout the scriptures. It was a
"nickname" of sorts given only to
one of the sons of Noah -Japheth and his descendants.The sons
of Japheth inherited the land known as Europe and Asia. History
and archeology confirms the fact that the white race or "Caucasians"
are the descendants
of Noah's son Japheth. The World Book Encyclopedia, 1980 Ed.,
p. 107 had this to say:
"Japheth was the progenitor of the Aryan or Indo-European
branch of the human family. The names of his seven sons and
grandsons are found in ancient historical texts as relating
to peoples and tribes residing North and West of the Caucasus
Mountains of Europe"
Who Are the Gentiles?
According to The American Peoples Encyclopedia Vol. 10, 1985,
p. 480, the term "Gentile" was at one time a noun
used to describe peoples of European stock as distinguished
from Shemitic and Hamitic (Afro-Asiatic and African) peoples."
As further proof, in the New Testament, the word "Gentiles"
is used interchangeably with the word "Greeks",
who along with the Romans, were the two main European races
among the Hebrew Israelites at that time (Acts 18:4, 17 Jn.
12:20 12.20-22)
The apostle Peter was sent to a Roman centurion's home to
tell him and his household about the Salvation of Israel (Yahshua,
the Anointed One), and they believed and were Baptized (Acts
10:1-5, 23-48). Paul was also sent to the Gentiles (Europeans)
and traveled only to cities of the Greeks and Romans (see
map). He did not go to Africa or to cities of the
Middle East (Act.13:42-44, 46-49). YHWH had allowed his word
to be preached to the Gentiles in order to save some of them
(Acts. 11:17-18; Ro. 3:29-30, 2:14-15) since He is the God
of all flesh. So, why then, is the popular definition of the
word "Gentile" today - Anyone who is not a Jew?"
This is what is generally taught and accepted among all Christian
churches contrary to the Bible! As was noted in the Holy Scriptures
(Gen. 10:2-5), the name was neither associated with the sons
of Ham nor the sons of Shem.
