RACIAL ORIGINS OF PEOPLE IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT AND AFGHANISTAN

CHAPTER 3

ORIGIN OF NATIONS

The Bible in Genesis 10 provides the racial origins of nations after Noah’s Flood. We have a rough idea where most people settled, though over the millennia there has been a lot of racial mixing.

As Genesis 6 states, before Noah’s Flood, the world was saturated with violence and bloodshed due to interracial marriages. No one repented at Noah’s preaching. So, God drowned that world in a global flood, leaving only 8 persons alive.

After the Flood, to prevent violence and bloodshed, God gave Noah a colonization plan to separate humanity by race and spread out over the earth. A slight majority of humanity, led by Cush [a black man], his common-law wife Semiramis [a white woman of the line of Japheth], Nimrod [their black son], and Asshur [ancestor of the ancient Assyrians and modern Germans] rebelled against that plan and set up their own civilization in the land of Shinar, in modern Iraq.

After the destruction of the Tower of Babel, God gave different branches of Noah’s family a different language so that they would not understand the speech of a different race. As a result, they were forced to separate from each other by race as God had originally planned. That is how different nations originated after the Flood.

That division by race and language is indicated in the Bible in Genesis 10 (KJV). Verses 2-5 show how different nations sprang from the different sons of Japheth the son of Noah according to their languages: “2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands [this shows that different tribes came from these patriarchs and separated into different lands], everyone according to his language [this proves that languages separated people], according to their families, into their nations.”

Similarly, about the nations that sprang from Ham the son of Noah, Genesis 10:6-8, 13-18, 20 state: “6 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush begot Nimrod [the Bible does not call him son as he was born of an illegitimate relationship with Semiramis]; he began to be a mighty one on the earth…13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim). 15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth; 16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed…20 These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.”

Then Genesis 10:21-29, 31-32 state: “21 And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [Hebrews], the brother of Japheth the elder. 22 The sons of Shem were Elam [father of the Iranians], Asshur [father of the Assyrians or the modern Germans], Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram [father of the Syrians]. 23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber. 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided [this is when Noah informed his descendants about the division of the earth God had made to various people]; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan…31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations. 32 These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.”

The entire earth was divided among these sons of Shem, Ham and Japheth. To understand who the various descendants of each of these sons of Noah are, one must remember that Noah and his three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth were all white racially. Shem had married a white woman; Ham had married the African-featured black Naamah and Japheth had married an oriental looking woman. But since Shem, Ham and Japheth were racially white, all of Shem’s children would be born white, whereas some of Japheth’s children would be born white and some would be born oriental looking. Some would also be born mixed looking. In the same way some of Ham’s children would be born African black (with curly hair), some would be born black or shades in between but with straight black hair [like Indians], whereas others would be born swarthy white.

There has also been racial mixing because of interracial marriages forced upon peoples by Cush and Nimrod in their rebellion against God and subsequently through the centuries. But the broad racial divisions of the earth are that descendants of Shem settled in Europe with subsequent migrations to North America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The American and British Commonwealth white nations are descended from Arphaxad the son of Shem. Persians are the descendants of Elam the son of Shem. But they are slightly darker than European whites because Elam married a swarthy white daughter of Ham and Naamah. Asshur married a white daughter of Japheth, and his descendants are the Germans. The Syrians are the descendants of Aram the son of Shem. Arabs are the descendants of Ishmael the son of Abraham who was a descendant of Arphaxad, but they have quite heavily mixed with dark peoples like the Egyptians. In addition, Ishmael’s mother Hagar was an Egyptian and he himself married an Egyptian. Turks are the descendants of Esau the brother of Jacob. But he married an Ishmaelite [Arab] woman and two Canaanite women. Canaan was the son of Ham. Hence Turks are generally darker looking than other Europeans. Jacob or Israel is the ancestor of the British and American peoples, the Jews and northwest Europeans. Jews have generally mixed with the peoples of the nations in which they have lived for centuries and millennia.

Bible historians know that the white Slavic and Russian peoples are descendants of Japheth as are all oriental peoples. Some of Japheth’s descendants who joined Cush and Nimrod in the rebellion were forced to racially mix with Cush’s black descendants. That’s why some Chinese, Tibetans, Nepalese, Malaysians, Indonesians and Filipinos are darker in color. Most people in Latin America are also descendants of Japheth, though mixed with other races.

Egypt is known as the land of Ham because that is where Mizraim the son of Ham settled. Egypt’s other name Mizr derived from Mizraim. Mizraim was a swarthy white individual. His descendants are the Copts in Egypt, the lightest in color among the Egyptians. Cush means black as Ethiopia also means black. So, Cush is Ethiopia because that is where Cush settled with his descendants after he was forced out of Babylon. Canaan the son of Ham settled in what is today the Holy Land till ancient Israel killed most of them because of their evils, and the rest fled. Phut [or Put] the son of Ham settled in what is Libya today. Africa is where the other descendants of Ham settled.

However, not all of Ham’s descendants settled in Africa and Canaan. Those who settled in Africa had the curly hair of the Africans. But some of Ham’s descendants were born dark skinned but with straight hair because Ham himself was white and had straight hair. This trait also continued in the next generation. Thus, two kinds of children were born to Cush the son of Ham. One kind had curly hair and settled in Ethiopia. Another branch of his family had straight hair and migrated in an easterly direction from Babylon where the confusion of languages took place, ultimately settling in India. The reason they were forced to separate from each other was that they received different languages at the time of the destruction of the Tower of Babel. Similarly, while the descendants of Phut with the curly hair settled in Libya, those with the straight hair ultimately settled in Rajasthan India and are known as the Rajputs.

Noah trained the descendants of Arphaxad the son of Shem to be priests of the true religion as taught by him. But because of massive financial incentives given by Semiramis, Cush, Nimrod and Asshur, they became perverted, gave up the true religion and began teaching the false religion of Nimrod and Semiramis. They were the priests in Egypt, Babylon and Italy in Europe and to the Indians. They were forced to mix racially with the people among whom they lived. Their descendants in India were known as the earliest Brahmins who were later subsumed by another people, the Pathans, as will be discussed later.

As the human family grew in numbers, initially most of the rebels continued to live around Babylon in the land of Shinar and would not move away and separate as God had asked them. But then the Assyrians began subjugating various peoples and imposing tribute on them. Their practice was to require all people to bring tribute annually to their capital Nineveh. If they failed to do so, the Assyrians attacked and dealt with them brutally. The only way various tribes could find relief from the ever-increasing demands of the Assyrians was to move away from around Babylon. Then weather related events and wars with other peoples forced them to continue moving. Josephus the ancient Jewish historian says they moved to lands where God led them, according to the colonization plan God had given to Noah (Antiquities Book 1, Chapter 5: “After this [destruction of the Tower of Babel] they were dispersed abroad, on account of their languages, and went out by colonies everywhere; and each colony took possession of that land which they light upon, and unto which God led them...) But these migrations took place over centuries, and even millennia in some cases.

ASSYRIAN CONQUESTS

Not only did innovations in pagan religion increase and flourish under Satan’s guidance through Semiramis, but the religion also began to be enforced on other people. The main instrument to accomplish this after Nimrod’s death was Asshur, the son of Shem, and his descendants. After Nimrod’s death, the Babylonians who were mainly Japhethites, some mixed with other peoples, and the Chaldeans who were descendants of the white Arphaxad were active in Babylon whereas the Assyrians [whose modern day descendants are the Germans] became active in consolidating power north of them in the cities they had built as stated in Genesis 10:11-12, “11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.”

Much of the world population was still living around the Middle East and coasts of the Mediterranean and had not moved too far away. Asshur, the ancestor of the Assyrians, had developed the ambition to rule the world when he heard the stories of Lamech’s family before the Flood from his daughter Naamah. That’s why he was among the rebels with Cush and Nimrod after Noah had started sending out colonies. He built a fortified city, Nineveh, with very high and thick walls to protect themselves. Then under the generalship of his son Ninus II, he began conquests of the nations around to impose tribute on them. The conquests took 17 years enabling the Assyrians to put many peoples to tribute.

The Assyrians were extremely brutal in their conquests. Ninus II had some rulers murdered with all their children to leave no heir. Here is what Diodorus of Sicily the ancient historian writes in his “Historical Library” Book II, chapter 1, pp 100 about Ninus II:

“Ninus therefore, the Assyrian king, with the prince of Arabia, his assistant, with a numerous army invaded the Babylonians then next bordering upon him: for the Babylon that is now [that is, in the time of Diodorus] was not built at that time; but the province of Babylon had in it then many other considerable cities, whose inhabitants he easily subdued (being rude and unexpert in matters of war), and imposed upon them a yearly tribute; but carried away the king with all his children prisoners, and soon after put them to death…

“Being thus strengthened, he invaded Media [i.e. the Medes, the descendants of Japheth], whose king Pharnus coming out against him with a mighty army was utterly routed, and lost most of his men, and was taken prisoner with his wife and seven children, and afterwards crucified.”

After 17 years of conquests when the Assyrians had become masters of that part of the world, they lived in their well-fortified cities with Nineveh their capital and tribute was brought to them on a yearly basis by all their subject nations. The only way people could get away from the oppression of the Assyrians was to move away from them.

And they did move away, led by God in their migrations to the places He had allotted them in His colonization plan given to Noah.

But the brutal treatment of other rulers by the Assyrians was not forgotten. They planned and plotted against the life of Ninus II. Ninus II had a son named Horus with Semiramis after she fled Egypt to Babylon at the execution of Nimrod. Later she had gone back to Egypt with her young son Horus. The year Ninus II finished his conquests, Semiramis left Egypt permanently and came and settled in Babylon.

Ninus II could not be brought to justice by conquest because of the well-fortified city Nineveh he lived in. So, the kings around hatched a plot with Semiramis. Remember Semiramis herself was a Japhethite, and most of the kings brutally treated by Ninus II were Japhethites. Semiramis now renewed her relationship with Ninus II and could easily move in and out of Nineveh. Ninus II again became very fond of her and probably married her this time.

Then Semiramis probably played a prank on Ninus II and asked him to give her royal authority for 5 days. She held a sumptuous banquet for the army commanders and the nobility so that all her subjects could observe that she ruled. These commanders and the nobility included many from among the provinces that Ninus II had conquered and were now allied with the Assyrians. She then secretly committed Ninus II to jail. Then she carried out Ninus II’s plans and invaded Armenia in which she was successful. She then had Ninus II assassinated and ruled in his place. Thus, though Ninus II could not be conquered because of his highly fortified capital city, he was brought down by intrigue.

This brought Horus, the illegitimate son of Ninus II and Semiramis back from Europe and a struggle followed between him and his mother for the throne of Assyria. After many years Semiramis fled to the king of Armenia and both were slain in a battle with her son Horus.

ASSYRIANS AND ABRAHAM

Even after the death of Semiramis, the Babylonian Mystery religion she had developed took deep hold over the people. As mentioned earlier, the pure white descendants of Arphaxad the son of Shem had been lured through financial incentives to become priests of the pagan religion. They settled among the ancestors of the Indian Cushites, or Kassites or Kshatriyas, where they were known as the Brahmins, and among the Egyptians, Babylonians and in Italy. They propagated the pagan religion of Semiramis as enforced by the Assyrians, or through cunning craftiness in Italy and Europe where enforcement was not possible. In Italy where Noah had settled, these priests convinced the people that they were honoring Noah, but cunningly taught the Babylonian Mystery religion, telling the people that Noah himself had preached that religion.

Besides the priests who had dispersed among different peoples, there were other descendants of Arphaxad living in Mesopotamia. The Assyrians began to bring them into subjection. Because of the treacherous ways of the Assyrians, all these peoples were forced into living in the way of lying, deceit, trickery and intrigue. They were forced to abandon the way of truth and began to serve other gods.

Joshua 24:2 records: “And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.” This shows that Abraham’s father served other gods and idols and not the true God. Later we have the example of Jacob learning the ways of trickery from his mother Rebecca who came from that area and tricked his brother Esau and his father Isaac out of Esau’s birthright and blessing. We learn of the trickery of Laban the brother of Rebecca in his dealings with his nephew Jacob. We see the competitive dealings between the two wives of Jacob, the sisters Leah and Rachel. It was the treacherous influence of the Assyrians that had turned away these descendants of Arphaxad from the pure ways of God. They are the only ones who had retained the knowledge of the true God.  But through financial incentives to become priests of the pagan religion and from pressure from the Assyrians, all descendants of Arphaxad had also turned away from the true God.

So, after the Flood, a great struggle was waged between the pagans and those loyal to Noah and Shem to impose their religion over all of humanity. Paganism won out and all of humanity was corrupted and began to follow pagan worship practices. The Assyrians began to impose the pagan religion by force on the descendants of Shem. In about 400 years after the Flood, all of humanity once again turned away from worship of the true God.

This is the world into which the 3 sons of Terah, Haran, Abraham and Nahor were born. Terah and Nahor had turned away from the true God to serve other gods. By this time Noah had passed away, but Shem was still alive. There can be no doubt that Haran and Abraham went and visited Shem in the Valley of the Danube where he lived in his old age and learnt about the true God from him. In the early years of Abraham, they had respite from Assyrian oppression because Horus and his mother Semiramis were engaged in a tussle to gain or maintain control of the Assyrian Empire. But after gaining control of the Empire, Horus began imposing the pagan religion on all peoples. Haran and Abraham were bound to come into conflict with Horus and his governors and lesser Assyrian rulers. Jewish and Arab traditions tell us that Horus persecuted Abraham.

The Bible records that Haran and Abraham lived in Ur of the Chaldees. This was also the place where the Chaldean priests, the descendants of Arphaxad lived. The Chaldean priests had knowledge of the eclipses of the sun and moon, having learnt astronomy from Noah. So, they could predict the movement of the celestial bodies. To gain hold over the people they falsely taught that they could communicate with the Sun and Moon gods who would tell them about their movements. But Abraham countered their teaching, having learnt astronomy directly from Shem. He began to argue and teach that the sun and moon could not control their own motions but were subject to the laws of the supreme God. Their movements could be predicted. The sun and moon were not gods, but there is a Supreme God who governed their motions. He proved that the creation was proof of the existence of the true Supreme God. This brought Abraham into conflict with the Chaldean priesthood as described by Josephus the ancient historian. The Chaldean priesthood envisioned their lofty status in society slipping away. Josephus records that they raised a tumult against Abraham: “For which doctrine, when the Chaldeans and other people of Mesopotamia raised a tumult against him, he thought it fit to leave that country; and at the command, and by the assistance of God, he came and lived in the land of Canaan” (Antiquities I, VII, 1).

At this time, probably Haran and Abraham refused to pay tribute to the Assyrians. One of their lesser rulers Count Sattan came against them to enforce tribute. In this battle Haran the older brother of Abraham died. Abraham had to flee for his life to the Danube Valley with his wife Sarah. But he had to leave his Assyrian wife Susanna and their son Achim behind as the Assyrians would not harm one of their own.

After a few years when Count Sattan died, Abraham decided to return to his former home in Ur of the Chaldees to be with his wife Susanna and their son Achim. But God changed Abraham’s plans from then onwards. God appeared to him for the first time, called him and gave him a command and a new plan for his life. This is recorded in Genesis 12:1-5 (NKJV):

“1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." 4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So, they came to the land of Canaan.”

For about 2,000 years since the creation of Adam and Eve, God worked with all of humanity in general. But twice all of humanity had turned its back on Him: once before the Flood and now in about 400 years after the Flood. All except Abraham, Lot, Abraham’s wife Sarah and Shem, who was still alive, had turned away to worship other gods. God then decided to no longer work with all of humanity. He decided to create a model nation as mentioned in His promise to Abraham, with which He would work, bless that nation for obeying His laws for the entire world to see as an example and learn from. Just as before the Flood God found Noah who was completely loyal to His way of life and worked with him to save humanity through the Flood, He now chose to work with one man, Abraham, who remained loyal to Him after the Flood when the rest of humanity had succumbed to paganism. The next set of great prophecies and promises of God relate to Abraham and his descendants.

These prophecies were not after thoughts. All this was thought out and planned even before the foundation of the world. In Deuteronomy 32:8 Moses states: “8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.” This states that when God gave inheritance to the sons of Adam, He did it according to the number of children that would be born to Israel after the Flood. This means the inheritance of the nations was pre-planned even at the time of Adam and Eve. So, when Abraham was asked to go to the land of Canaan, he was asked by God to go to his inheritance which the descendants of Canaan had usurped in the rebellion against God’s colonization plan.

Abraham was completely obedient to God and did not question why he was asked him to go to Canaan. He simply obeyed God’s instructions and departed.

ABRAHAM’S DESCENDANTS

It is necessary to briefly discuss the descendants of Abraham because most Punjabis and all Jews in India are his descendants.

Abraham was 75 years old when he went to Canaan. God had promised to make him a great nation, but even at age 85 Abraham was childless. His wife Sarah then gave her Egyptian handmaid Hagar to be his wife. Son Ishmael was born to Hagar when Abraham was 86 years old. Ishmael is the father of the Arabs.

When Sarah was 100 years old, Abraham’s son Isaac was born to her. God’s promises to Abraham were to be passed on to his descendants through Isaac.

Two sons were born to Isaac: Esau and Jacob. Esau is the father of the Turks primarily. God’s promises to Abraham were then passed on by Isaac not to his son Esau but to his son Jacob whose name was later changed to Israel by God.

Jacob had twelve sons. All of God’s promises to Abraham were passed on by Jacob to his 12 sons collectively with certain aspects of the promises conferred on specific sons.

These are some of God’s promises and blessings to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jacob’s sons Joseph and Judah (whose descendants are known as the Jews) and Judah’s descendant King David that were passed on down to their descendants.

1) Jacob or Israel will be a father of many nations (Genesis 17:5; 28:3). Each of the tribes of Israel has become a nation. Joseph’s son Ephraim has become a commonwealth of nations (Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and whites of South Africa) and son Manasseh has become the greatest single nation on earth, the USA.

For detailed proof of where the other tribes of Israel are settled, the best source is “America and Britain in Prophecy” by David Pack. From his book, here is where the modern descendants of the other tribes of Israel can mainly be found:

Joseph’s son Manasseh – USA. Whites in the USA have come from almost all white nations. How can they all be descendants of Manasseh. The answer is found in Amos 9:9, “For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.” Descendants of Manasseh were sifted and herded through all nations and brought to the USA.

Joseph’s son Ephraim – British Commonwealth nations of Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and whites in South Africa mixed with the Dutch Boers who are descended from the tribe of Zebulun, which is settled in Holland.

Reuben – France

Simeon and Levi – Prophesied to be dispersed among all the tribes of Israel.  Largest portion of Levi or the priestly tribe lives among the Jews.

Judah – The Jews worldwide, with a branch in Ireland.

Zebulun – Holland

Issachar – Finland

Dan – Primarily Ireland and Denmark

Gad – Switzerland

Asher – Belgium

Naphtali – Sweden

Benjamin – Norway, Iceland and among the Jews

[Much proof of the modern identity of the twelve tribes of Israel has been added by the Israeli scholar Yair Davidy in his books “The Tribes: The Israelite Origins of Western Peoples”, “Ephraim” and “Lost Israelite Identity.”]

2) God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob “you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." This simply means that those nations who work with the descendants of Jacob will be blessed and those who don’t and curse them will be cursed.

This also obligates the descendants of Jacob to be a blessing to other nations and not be a curse to them. That means they are required to help other nations to grow their wealth and prosperity or help them when in distress.

3) God promised incredible material blessings of resources of the earth and riches to all of Jacob’s descendants, but primarily to Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh in the last days (Genesis 49:22-26). These promises have been fulfilled in the British Commonwealth nations and the USA respectively.

4) The land of Canaan, or what is called Israel today is promised to the descendants of Jacob. The Jews today possess that land. But the true fulfillment of this prophecy will be in God’s Kingdom when descendants of Jacob will possess all the land between the Nile and the Euphrates rivers, as promised in Genesis 15:18.

5) God promised to increase their population (Genesis 28:14). The USA is the third most populous nation on earth, and the population of British Commonwealth nations would make them the tenth most populous nation on earth, equal to Russia. Worldwide, the descendants of Jacob number more than 500 million today.

6) Descendants of Jacob would possess the gates or narrow sea and land passages of access to their enemies’ lands (Genesis 22:17). This incredible promise has been fulfilled in the British and American peoples who at the zenith of their power have possessed almost every major gate and strategic island on land and sea such as the Suez and Panama canals, the Rock of Gibraltar, the Khyber Pass, Hong Kong, the islands of Malta, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Singapore, the Falklands Islands and virtually every other gate around the world. Outcome of the Second World War hinged on the possession of these strategic gates. Most of the world’s commerce also passes through these gates. Even the Strait of Bosporus has been possessed by the Turks, the descendants of Esau, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham.

7) God promised that peoples and nations would serve the descendants of Jacob and bow down to them (Genesis 27:19), meaning they will be the foremost nations on earth.

8) The descendants of Jacob, particularly Joseph would be a colonizing people. Genesis 49:22 states: “22 Joseph is like a grapevine that produces much fruit, a healthy vine watered by a spring, whose branches grow over the wall.” A people "whose branches grow over the wall," or beyond their original borders, certainly means that they will be a colonizing people. There have never been such a colonizing people in the history of man as the British and American peoples. Thus, this prophecy stands fulfilled about 3,500 years after it was given. That’s also how nations served the descendants of Jacob and bowed down to them.

9) All nations would be blessed materially and spiritually through the descendants of Jacob (Genesis 28:14). That means they would be the engines of the world’s economy, and salvation and the knowledge of salvation and the true religion would go out to the world through them. They have fulfilled that promise through Jesus Christ the descendant of King David being the Messiah and the Bible being translated into almost every language in the world and distributed at very low cost by Britons and Americans.

10) In the last days enemies will attack the descendants of Joseph, meaning the USA and British Commonwealth nations, but God will help them (Genesis 49:23-25). God preserved them through two world wars.

11) The chief ruler would come from Judah through king David, with an everlasting dynasty (2 Samuel 7:12-16). King Charles rules in Britain as a direct descendant of King David. Jesus Christ, also a descendant of David will rule for eternity.
