“God shall enlarge Japheth, And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant.”
Genesis 9:27 KJV
May God enlarge Japheth’s family and increase his territory. May he share in the blessing of Shem, and his descendants make their homes among the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave also. Noah’s cursing and blessing his sons illustrates the power of a father’s words over his children (and grandchildren) and how those words create the reality of their future. Descendants of each of Noah’s sons were present at the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. The Jewish religious leaders who conspired to kill the Messiah, were Shem’s descendants. The Romans who crucified the Lord Jesus were descendants of Japheth. Simon of Cyrene who bore the cross of Christ in servitude, was a descendant of Ham. After the Lord Jesus ascended, the Ethiopian eunuch, Saul who became Paul, and Cornelius the centurion, were descendants of Ham, Shem and Japheth. Because Shem and Japheth both honoured their father, they shared the blessing of prosperity among them. All are included in the blessings of the finished work of the Messiah and every curse reversed. There is no caste or segregation or division in God’s love for all mankind shown through the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You Father!
