“Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”
1 Chronicles 1:4 KJV
The sons of Noah were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Shem survived the great flood along with his father, two brothers and all of their wives. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he had Arphaxad, through whom Abraham was born. Shem was considered to be the ancestor of the peoples of Asia and Semites were the people of Western Asia. Semitic peoples were those of the Middle East, including Jews, Arabs, Akkadians and Phoenicians. Luke named Shem in the lineage of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Jesus came to bring God to mankind and for us to know that God’s Throne endures to all generations. God told Abraham, “I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you.” God is Eternal, Who was, Who is, and Who is to come, beyond time, the same yesterday, today and forever. Thank You, LORD that You never change. To God be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen!
