Tablet Twenty-Five
Chapter 10
"Now these are the generations of the sons of
Noah,
Shem,
Ham, and
Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood." (Genesis
10:1)
<1>"And unto them were sons born": "Son"
always means "likeness." So "the generation of the sons of Noah"
which was explained to mean symbolically the five different types of
humans in the different levels of
evolution --
Shem (Brahmins),
Ham (Shudras
and Ksattriyas)
and
Japheth (Vipras
and
Vaeshyas) -- begat
"sons."
<2>Therefore it was the generation after Noah that consisted
of these three types. They are the sons of
Shem,
Japheth, and
Ham.
"The sons of
Japheth; Gomer, and
Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras."
(Genesis 10:2)
"And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath,
and Togarmah." (Genesis 10:3)
"And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish,
Kittim, and Dodanim." (Genesis 10:4)
"By these were the isles of the
Gentiles divided in
their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in
their nations." (Genesis 10:5)
<3>"By these were the isles of the
Gentiles divided in
their lands" means that the sons of
Japheth (Vipras
and
Vaeshyas, or
intellectuals and business-oriented people) were created (Gentiles).
<4>"Every one after his tongue": These people
understand each other very well, because all are in the same level
of consciousness.
<5>"After their families, in their nations"
means they are all one family on earth in different levels of
consciousness ("after their families"). They create a nation as
intellectuals and businessmen.
<6>Also this verse means that many different
nations with different languages were created by those who were
saved by Noah after the flood.
"And the sons of
Ham; Cush, and Mizraim,
and Phut, and Canaan."
(Genesis 10:6)
"And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and
Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sebtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba,
and Dedan." (Genesis 10:7)
<7>The name Raamah is similar to the East
Indian name Rahma. The similarity of the names in the Bible
(also Sarah and Saravati, etc.) is further evidence of a link
between the original Bible
language and the ancient language. Sanskrit is the spiritual
language of the Hindus.
"And Cush begat
Nimrod: he began to
be a mighty one in the earth." (Genesis 10:8)
"He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord." (Genesis 10:9)
"And the beginning of his kingdom was
Babel, and Erech, and
Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar." (Genesis 10:10)
<8>The period of the phase of the mighty
warriors started, "He was a mighty hunter before the Lord." The
period of domination of warriors (Ksattriyas)
began, and they started the empires and kingdoms.
<9>As it was described, in general, humans
can be categorized into five groups: workers (Shudras),
warriors or courageous ones (Ksattriyas),
intellectuals (Vipras),
businessmen (Vaeshyas),
and seers (Brahmins).
<10>The dominating class can be traced in the
course of history. First there was the domination of the mighty men
of war (Ksattriyas)
who established their domination through their physical abilities
and skillfulness in war (purely physical strength over others). They
exploited the
Shudras
by their might.
<11>The second domination was by the
intellectuals, who through their administrative abilities and
intellectual understanding of the realities of life, exploited the
warriors (because their administrative abilities were needed by the
Ksattriyas) and
masses (through creating superstitions and false superiority ideas
in society).
<12>The third domination was of businessmen
through their control of the basic necessities of human needs.
<13>They exploited the rest (Shudras,
Ksattriyas, and
Vipras) through using
all of them for their benefit and making them workers for commercial
rewards.
<14>The fifth class, the seers, never were
exploited because they would never become so attached to this
external world that others would be able to exploit them. They
always either escaped the society by being satisfied with the
minimum or stood against the exploiters.
<15>However, the
true leaders
are those who have all the qualities of the five types and
understand them all. <16>Then they become
classless and are able to handle all of them on their own terms
and guide humanity toward the goal (for more detail, read
The Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth and
Commentaries on Prophecies in Daniel, Period of Intellectual
Domination).
<17>In verses 8-10
above, the period
of the domination of the warrior class (Ksattriyas)
started.
"Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded
Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah," (Genesis 10:11)
"And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is
a great city." (Genesis 10:12)
<18>The kings started to build great cities
and bring others under their control by their might and armies. They
created empires for themselves by exploiting the masses. These all
are the sons of
Ham.
"And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim,
and Naphtuhim," (Genesis 10:13)
"And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came
Philistim,) and Caphtorim." (Genesis 10:14)
"And
Canaan begat Sidon
his firstborn, and Heth," (Genesis 10:15)
"And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the
Girgasite," (Genesis 10:16)
"And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,"
(Genesis 10:17)
"And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the
Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the
Canaanites spread abroad." (Genesis 10:18)
"And the border of the
Canaanites was from
Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto
Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha."
(Genesis 10:19)
"These are the sons of
Ham, after their
families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their
nations." (Genesis 10:20)
<19>So the generations of
Ham (the
Shudras and
Ksattriyas;
workers and warriors) were created. They made up a family (on earth)
with their special tongues (they understood each other well), in
their countries (each in his territory) and in their nations (with
still many different types).
<20>Also it means that more nations with
different languages were created.
"Unto
Shem also, the father
of all the children of Eber, the brother of
Japheth the elder,
even to him were children born." (Genesis 10:21)
<21>Shem
is the symbol of spiritual people (true spiritualists; the great
incarnations). That is why it is emphasized that, "even to him were children born." That is, that not all spiritual people should become renunciates.
<22>Also usually it is rarer for highly spiritual people to have
many children.
<23>Also the emphasis that
Shem was "the father of
all the children of Eber" shows the importance of the children of
Eber in the history of the sons of
Shem. The children were Peleg -- "for in his days was the earth divided" (Genesis 10:25) -- and Joktan.
"The children of
Shem; Elam, and Asshur,
and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram." (Genesis 10:22)
"And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and
Gether, and Mash." (Genesis 10:23)
"And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber."
(Genesis 10:24)
"And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of
one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his
brother's name was Joktan." (Genesis 10:25)
<24>So
Shem, the symbol of the
spiritual types (Brahmin class) or those who were entrusted to
preserve and learn sacred Scriptures after Noah, also became a class
among others.
<25>However, in the time of the children of
Eber (Peleg and Joktan) a great event happened. Before then and
after the flood of Noah,
God had created the
earth in such a way that there were few lands isolated from the
mainland. That is, the dry land on earth was accessible to the new
generations which were created after the flood.
<26>But in the time of the children of Eber,
after humans had scattered all over the earth, "and from thence did
the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis
11:9), then the earth was divided.
<27>This division of the earth happened
because
God had a great Plan for
the future. He wanted to keep some parts of the earth isolated to be
used later on for a great purpose. The purpose for this event is
explained in the book
Children of Abram
(Abraham), All Prophecies Are Fulfilled.
<28>The destruction of their lands forced
many Great Souls of the new generation to leave and go to other
lands. They helped many civilizations to accelerate their progress.
<29>That is why we find great structures and civilizations in
some parts of the world that were constructed at the time when the
natives were very backward, such as in Egypt, South America, Central
America, and other places. This accelerated human civilization.
"And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and
Hazarmaveth, and Jerah," (Genesis 10:26)
"And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah," (Genesis
10:27)
"And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba," (Genesis
10:28)
"And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these
were the sons of Joktan." (Genesis 10:29)
"And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest
unto Sephar a mount of the east." (Genesis 10:30)
<30>So the sons of Eber, like the sons of
Ham and
Japheth, were also
scattered abroad.
"These are the sons of
Shem, after their
families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations."
(Genesis 10:31)
<31>So the generations of spiritual people
(the seers) also increased. They became a family on earth, who
would understand each other with their special tongue, in different
levels ("in their lands"), and they became a nation.
<32>Also it means that further races and
languages were created.
"These are the families of the sons of Noah,
after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the
nations divided in the earth after the flood." (Genesis 10:32)
<33>Many races and nations were created on
the earth. After the flood of Noah, because the earth had not yet
been divided, these people settled all over the world, especially
when God
"scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:9). They were scattered even more when their land was destroyed and they
were forced to leave.
<34>The point is that
Japheth,
Shem, and
Ham
are the different types of humans in different levels of
evolution. Therefore, to try to find who is the ancestor of whom will create
confusion. The races were not from these symbolic three sons of
Noah. <35>The races were created for gaining different
experiences in each race for further evolutionary progress, just as
the whole universe was created to allow man to go through different
levels of experiences. So the purpose of the races after the flood
is the same.
<36>However,
intermarriage between races will create new bodies with new
biological set-ups for new experiences for those who are ready now
to go through those kinds of experiences. <37>Also with these new teachings of creation
and history, man should understand the realities behind this
universe and realize that
God is All, and also, man should not misuse his powers. So
intermarriage, acceptance of one language for the whole world, and
following God's Laws
will cause man to destroy all
narrowness of the mind
and prejudices about the differences of race, creed, and language.
<38>Then the Kingdom
Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE) will be created, and all will accelerate
their progress toward self-realization and perfection.
<39>Then the Kingdom Of Heaven Within (KOHW) also will be
established. The
Kingdom Of Heaven In
Heaven (KOHIH) has already been created by
God, so when the Kingdom Of Heaven within and without is created
also, then His Will, will be done on earth as it is in
heaven.
