Admissions are now closed for the 2018/2019 school year.
Please contact the MHCID graduate office at mhcid@ics.uci.edu or the program director at mhciddirector@ics.uci.edu for further information.
Statement of Purpose — Tell us a bit about why you want to join this program, where you see this program fitting in your broader career trajectory, and so on.
Three letters of recommendation (ignore the request that is standard UCI application language that these be "instructors" in this area of study. These can–and often should–be managers, peers, or clients at work or instructors from another area of study).
Please note that we welcome international applicants. However, there are some important things to know about visas.
If you are here already on some kind of non-education related visa (marriage and family, work, etc.), you should be eligible to enroll in our program without trouble. However, we encourage you to check with our international center as well as an immigration attorney.
You do not need a student visa to join our program, and therefore we do not support you in getting one through the program.

Again, for additional questions, please consult with our international center and an immigration attorney.
Additionally, we will offer a variety of merit-based scholarships, including our "20 for 20" program, which will offer a scholarship in the amount of 20% of total program fees for the top 20% of each admitted cohort. All students who apply for the program will also be considered for scholarships. No supplemental materials are required.

Do your due diligence before hiring your contractor. Price should not be the only factor when making the final decision on who will build your dream home. Your home is where you spend most of your time, and you don't want poor quality construction details staring you in the face, day after day. Make sure you take the proper steps before choosing a contractor.
1. Start with a detailed plan. This is the most important item before you even approach a contractor. Work with a professional designer or architect who can come up with a comprehensive plan to show your contractor so that he knows exactly what you have planned for your space. Walking your contractor through your space without a detailed plan in hand will allow the contractor to change his pricing as he goes, since the specifics were never discussed from the beginning.
Please bear in mind that permit drawings are not complete plans and contain limited information about the final design of your space. They provide information about the general layout and structure but have limited or no information pertaining to finishes, interior architecture, custom millwork, lighting and electrical features. This is the information that your contractor will need to give you accurate pricing before you start construction.
2. Provide a list of specifications ahead of time. When it comes to your finishes, fixtures, appliances and accessories, this is your bible. The price to renovate even a small bathroom can vary by tens of thousands of dollars depending on its fittings and finishes. If you can choose your plumbing fixtures, finishes and accessories ahead of time, you will save yourself and your contractor a lot of grief during the construction process by having the items on hand when he needs them and by knowing all the associated costs to install your specified items.
3. Price out your project. If you have been working with a designer or architect and you have a complete set of drawings and complete specifications, ask that professional to recommend a few builders to whom you can send your plans for pricing. Also, ask your friends whether they have a contractor they have been happy with and send them your construction package to bid on as well.
If you have the detailed set of plans and the specs that I mentioned previously, you will get "apples to apples" pricing from the contractors bidding on the job. And the contractors will have to stick to their provided pricing because they had all the information in their hands.
4. Ensure your contractor is insured. I'm sure you've all heard horror stories about what can happen on a construction site. Unfortunately, accidents are part of the norm in this industry. A contractor has to manage a significant crew to make your project come together, and it's not an easy task. Think of your contractor as a composer bringing all the parts of an orchestra together to create a masterpiece. There are bound to be mishaps occasionally, so please make sure your contractor is set up to deal with them properly.
5. Check out your contractor's work. Once you've bid out your project and have a contractor in mind, ask to see some of his previous jobs. Even though the contractor may be referred to you by a friend or your architect, it doesn't hurt to get a look at his work. If you like what you see, and the owner of the other house is happy with how things turned out, there's a good chance that you will be happy too.
6. Interview your contractor. You will have to get quite close to your general contractor over the period of your project. Make sure you pick someone you trust and can communicate with. During initial meetings, ask how unexpected issues or differences might be handled. This can include change orders that will be issued by you or your designer in writing.
7. Dealing with the extras. Keep in mind that your contractor may not have priced some items for your renovation, such as closet organizers and bathroom accessories. Ask your contractor how he deals with extras. Some contractors use extras as an opportunity to make as much money as possible during a renovation because you are already committed to them.
8. Ask about timelines. Ask your contractor how long he believes it will take to complete your job and then add an extra eight weeks to help manage your expectations. I'm not saying that contractors can't finish on time, but there are so many unforeseen incidents that can happen on a construction site that the possibility of your job ending right on time is pretty slim.


"All of us at New Milford Community Ambulance would like to thank Bob Hanna, Alan Conn and the rest of the All American Waste crew for coming to our rescue yesterday (January 25, 2015).
While out on a call yesterday morning we lost the chain assembly for our OnSpot automatic tire chains. Fearing we'd be in a jam for this weekend's storm, the guys from All American Waste in New Milford stepped in and donated the parts we needed to get back in the game. They even sent a service truck and crew up to handle the repair.

Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil
In the hot arid lands of Nallur, in Jaffna, rises the majestic Hindu temple for Skanda/ Murugan – the god of love, war and beauty. It has reigned over the land for centuries, attracting devotees from various walks of life. The temple itself embodies a kind of peace that can only be felt in the most divine of places.
The temple was originally founded in 948 AD. However, it reached fame when it was rebuilt in the 13th century by Puvaneka Vaahu, a minister of the Jaffna King Kalinga Maha. The Nallur Kandaswamy Temple was built for a third time by Senpaha Perumal (a.k.a Sapumal Kumaraya) who was the adopted son of the Kotte king. Nallur served as the capital of the kings of Jaffna, and was a highly defensive fort and city. There were courtly buildings, the palaces, businesses and much more.
The third built temple was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1624 AD; and many churches built over the ruins. The location of the original temple is now covered by the St James Church, Nallur. Part of the original Sivalingam from the temple remained in the vicarage, but was destroyed during the recent civil war. Now only the platform where it was mounted remains.
The current temple was built in 1734 AD by Don Juan. However, the 'Golden Era' of the Nallur Temple began in the latter 1890s with the takeover of the temple administration by Arumuga Maapaana Mudaliyar; who started renovating it to bring it back to its earlier magnificence.
Created in the ways of the ancient temple cities of Madura and Padaliputra in India; the town of Nallur too revolves around this temple.
The cities had four entrances with temples at each gate.
There were outer circles where the commoners resided and businesses flourished, inner circles where highly placed nobles resided.
The walls of the temple then rose, resembling the towers (in this case kopurams) and palisades of a fort.
Within these walls were the outer courtyard, the holy bathing well (theertha keni), the residences of the priests, the inner temple, and smaller shrines for lesser deities.
The inner temple itself was large; and contained the inner courtyard, the central shrine or mulasthanam, shrines for other major gods and goddesses, the dance hall, the conference hall, and many other such elements.
While the original Nallur Kandaswamy Temple was on this same grand scale; the current temple is on a much smaller scale when considering area, whilst still being one of the largest and historically accurate temples still existing in Sri Lanka. The temple has four kopurams, a rarity nowadays; including a massive golden-ochre Rajakopuram standing approximately seven stories (22-25m) tall. Some of the kopurams were built within the last decade. The inner and outer circles usually function as normal roads; except during the temple's elaborate festival. With beautiful sculptures and architecture created by architects brought in from India; the temple is a visual delight that is best seen directly.
Guidelines on visiting the Nallur Kandaswmy Temple.
The temple has a large courtyard; don't forget remove your shoes and wash your feet at the outer well before you enter.
You bring items such as flowers, fruits, camphor and such to offer to the shrines. These can be bought from shops opposite the temple; but everything except camphor and incense must be washed outside before offering.
Men are not allowed to wear any other garments above waist level within the temple, as has been the Hindu custom from ancient days. Women are encouraged to wear clothing which is non-revealing and below knee length.
No photography is allowed within the temple; and mobile phones must be switched off to prevent disturbing other devotees.
The tickets for the poojas are sold at a mere Rs 1.00, and have been so for decades. You can buy some tickets and offer them to the priests at the shrines to observe the colorful poojas with the ancient mantras.
While worshipping put your palms together and hold it at chest height.
Worshipping Nallur – A Virtual Tour
The temple has four entrances, but you will be using the main entrance, which lies directly before the main shrine.
The main shrine will lie before you, within which is the holy spear (vel)which is believed to be an artefact left by the actual God Skanda himself.
You can do worship and do a pooja here; you will be offered holy ash, powdered sandalwood paste and kumkum at the end.
Apply the holy ash on your forehead with the three middle fingers of your right hand. Take some of the ochre sandalwood paste onto your forefinger and press a little circle of it on the center of your forehead. Take some of the red kumkum powder onto the same finger, as it will stick from the moisture of the paste, and press on a smaller circle on top of the sandalwood circle.
The temple is frequented by worshippers of many races and religions, who you will be able to see.
From the main shrine; you will be travelling clockwise along the walkway which goes around the holy bathing well within the temple. The well is used to bathe the figurines of the gods and goddesses.
You will walk behind the main shrine to come up to the dance hall and gathering hall to the left.
The walkway has various shrines, such as Ganesha, Valli, Theivayaanai and Shiva, interspersed along the way. You will be able to worship the shrines, and have poojas if priests are available there; while also marveling at the detailed carvings and architecture. Some have bells outside that you can ring.
After finishing this rotation, you will end up at the main shrine once again, at which point you will get ready to leave the main temple.
Before leaving you can lie face down if you're male or kneel and touch your head to the ground if you're female; and pay your final respects the traditional way. Donate some money to the temple's till if you can, as this will be used for further renovations.
Once you step outside, go towards the left towards the tall shed-like metal structure you see. This houses the chariot, which is only used during the festival. Walk around it clockwise to finish worshipping the temple properly
Along the way around the chariot, note the short twisted tree on the far side; which was once the meditation place of the deceased saint Yoga Swami.
Nallur Kandaswamy Temple Festival
If you arrived during late August, you will be lucky enough to see the temple's famous 25-day festival. This famous and colorful festival is viewed by tens of thousands of people from around the world.
The special occasions during the festival that are not to be missed are the Manjam, Kailasavahanam, Vellivimanam, Thandayuthepani Utsavam, Sapparam, the most important Ther Thiruvila (chariot festival), Theertham (water cutting festival), and the Thirukalyanam (the holy wedding). However, the entire festival is a complex affair which causes the entire town to enter a festive mood.
Another popular event which you may get to see is Thirukkarthikai, which occurs during mid-November. This is also highly attended and has much to view.
The Nallur Kandaswamy temple is an important relic of Sri Lanka, which has been praised in many ancient texts from around the world. As such a visit is a must to properly understand the glory of ancient Hindu Temples.

Every Sunday a team from Phnom Pehn head out into the province of Kampong Speu to teach a Sunday school of about 100. We wake early in the morning to travel and see the sun rise as we eat breakfast in the markets of the province. When we arrive at the Sunday school the children are already there and waiting eagerly for us. We begin with a prayer and start teaching. A little Bible, English and some games. The games are happy and enthusiastic, with screams and yells to urge people on to win. After Sunday school has concluded we eat a snack and the older boys jump over the fence to a small school to play soccer. As a surprise last weekend we brought new soccer uniforms for the boys to use, and the smiles on their faces were well worth it. We then renew our energy with lunch. What the team going out to the province do, is not only teach the SS but they also help out family's who have work that needs doing. On one particular week we went out to the rice fields to help with the rice harvesting. It was a beautiful experience, to cut rice with a sickle and bind them in sheaves. You had to be very careful not to cut yourself though, as the sickles are very very sharp. Once done we cooled off in a cool lake before riding the moto's home again. It was an amazing cultural experience, and one that i would not miss again for the world! Rosie.

Grace to You :: Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time
Scripture: Genesis 10:1-32
Code: 90-266
Well, you can open your Bible to the tenth chapter of Genesis and tonight you're gonna find out
whether you would like Seminary. Genealogies are very popular today. Now you can find a number
of websites on the Internet where you can trace your genealogy, the most notable source of
genealogical information of course is the Mormon church, but people seem to be compelled to find
their origin. From the adopted child who wants to find birth parents, to those who would like to go
back into their family tree and find out what their heritage really is.
It seems to be somehow important as a contribution to the chase for self esteem, and this need for
people to feel good about themselves. And they can feel good bout themselves boosting up their
psychological self esteem if they can find that they come from some important family, or there is
somebody in the background who himself or herself was important.
This whole genealogical effort could lead to a new genre of bumper stickers, I think, like "My
Forefathers were Philistines'. Or like "Goliath was in my Family", or "I Come from a Long Line of
Hittite Kings", or here's a good one, "My Ancestors Killed Your Ancestors".
Well, one thing is for sure in your heritage file. You descended from the family of Noah. And so you
can say, "My family survived the great flood". Because back in the ninth Genesis 9:18, 19, it says the
sons of Noah came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth, and in verse 19, "...These three
were the sons of Noah and from these the whole earth was populated". Noah is in your family tree
through one of these three sons.
We can even do better than Noah, because Scripture indicates for us these three sons, and then in
Genesis 10 and 11, we have lines of descent from these three sons. In Chapter 10:2, the sons of
Japheth, and it goes on, verse 6, the sons of Ham, and it goes on to list them, and then in verse 21
also to Shem, and it goes on to list them. Now what is this chapter? It is what's called the Table of
Nations, or the Family of Nations. It traces the descent of man through the three sons of Noah. And
there is more of this genealogical tracking found in chapter 11, which we will consider in the future.
But it only considers the issue of the children of Shem, because they are the dominant people in the
story of redemption in Scripture.
But for this chapter, we follow the line of human history through the three sons of Noah. Human
history kind of goes like this genealogically: Adam to Seth to Enoch to Methuselah, to Lamech, to
Noah. In six names, you get down to Noah. That is Noah's line: Adam, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah,
Lamech, Noah. So if you wanna trace your line back from Noah: Noah, Lamech, Methuselah,
Enoch, Seth, Adam. The whole human race, then, follows that same line because all of humanity
was destroyed in the flood, leaving only Noah.
So here you have with Noah and his three sons the second starting point for human history. This is
history in the new world and we can, as I said, all claim Noah as a distant relative.
The next crucial man on the genealogical charts in redemptive history is Abraham. And Abraham is
introduced in the twelfth chapter. We really get into the singular importance of Abraham, the Lord's
purpose for Abraham, in chapter 12, though, his name appears at the end of chapter 11 in the
genealogies. Noah, obviously a critically important person, the next significant person is Abraham.
And so between Noah and Abraham, we have this genealogical record which includes sons of
Japheth, sons of Ham, but most particularly and specifically, sons of Shem because Abraham comes
from the line of Shem. And from Abraham comes the Jewish race, the Hebrews, the people of Israel;
God's missionary nation.
From Abraham came the Jews, to whom God gave covenants, promises, adoption, the law, the
Scriptures, the ministry, and most importantly, through whom God sent the Messiah, the Conqueror
and Destroyer of Satan, and the Savior of the world.
So when we get to Abraham, we are then focused in on the line of redemptive history. From
Abraham comes the people of God, from Abraham comes the great King David, from Abraham
comes the Messiah who fulfils all the promises made to Abraham, and to David.
But we have to get to Abraham to start with, and to get there, we have to work our way through this
interesting genealogy of the sons of Noah. This is the only accurate source of this period. This is the
only existing written record. Authored by Moses who wrote the Five Books of the Law, and inspired
by God. At the outset, I want you to know that the listings of the sons of Japheth and the sons of
Ham and then the sons of Seth are designed to move toward the people of God. That's why Shem is
the last one listed here. It's as if the Lord talks about Japheth, talks about Ham, gives something of
their history, and that clears the path to get to Shem. Because it was from Shem that Abraham came,
and from him, the people of God and the line of redemption.
The survey is selective. Not everybody is named here. It is not by any means exhaustive, not every
person, not every family is named. For example, there are sons named of Japheth in verse 2, but
only two of them are followed as to their sons. Five of them are not. So the genealogies are
selective. This selectivity, I think, is an important thing. It doesn't in any sense indicate that this is not
a legitimate genealogy; it rather, on the other hand, indicates that it is a legitimate record written by
Moses, and these are the people of whom Moses knew. Something of the authenticity of the
passage, then, is indicated by its selectivity. It is true to the knowledge of Moses. And these were
people who were known to the Children of Israel a the time they were entering the Promised Land.
Remember the first time Genesis was read, after Moses had written it, as when the Children of Israel
about 600 or so years after this were on the edge of going into take the Land of Canaan, and on the
way to taking the Land of Canaan which had been promised to Abraham, they heard the Book of
Genesis. They were familiar with something of the genealogy of the people and the history of the
peoples of that time. And the ones that are named here would have been in many cases familiar to
them. So the fact that it is a selective genealogy doesn't speak against its authenticity; rather, speaks
to its authenticity these were known to Moses as he wrote under divine inspiration.
There are enough listed here - 70 to be exact - 70 persons, tribes, and families and nations are listed
altogether, to make this a fairly comprehensive early history, and to establish the flow of history to
Abraham, and from Abraham later on, of course, to the Messiah.
The listing is also witness to the fact that in chapter 9:1, "God blessed Noah and his sons and said to
them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth'". This was what God said, this was what God
commissioned, this was what God pledged and this is what God commanded, and this indicates that
this was fulfilled. It was fulfilled.
And so what we have here is a listing of people, a listing that is individual people, tribes, nations and
even cities which were associated with people. So that even here today, we that live in Los Angeles
are often called Angelinos. So you have these various families of people.
And the design here is to show how they were scattered into the world from that starting point in the
Middle East, which is still the theatre of redemptive history and will be until the very end. It is another
one of those things that the Hebrew calls a Toladoth. It is another genealogy or generation is the
word. Look at chapter 10:1. these are the records or literally in Hebrew, these are the Toladothof
Shem, Ham and Japheth. This is the genealogy of Shem, Ham and Japheth. That's a familiar device
used throughout the Book of Genesis back in chapter 2:4, "This is the record of the heavens and the
earth", that's the first one that is a toladoth or a record. Chapter 5:1, "This is the toladoth - " or the
generation "of Adam". Chapter 6:9, "This is the generation of Noah". Now we come into chapter 10,
"This is the generation", the toladoth, "of Shem, Ham and Japheth".
So Genesis is largely broken down by generations of people. first of all, the heaven and earth being
generated, then Adam, then the next major person Noah, then Shem, Ham and Japheth, and there
will be more to come as the book is broken up into those patterns of records of generations.
Now, I wanna also note for you that the listing in this section is just inherently sad, it's inherently
tragic. We do have a specific indication in verses 8 to 12 about a rebel against God who built the city
of Babel. His name was Nimrod, and I'll say more about that. He's the only individual person about
whom much is said. And he demonstrates for us in a specific illustration that humanity is sinking
again into rebellion and sin and rejection of God. He is a specific illustration of where humanity is
Dropped right in the middle of the chapter, verses 8 to 12, is this man Nimrod, who built Babel. And
we'll learn a lot more about Babel when we get to chapter 11. He is a specific individual illustration of
the deterioration of man very soon, very soon. The son of Ham was Cush, the son of Cush was
Nimrod, this is Noah's grandson who leads a worldwide rebellion against the true, living God who is
Creator and Judge.
So the story is a story of sadness, both in the specific illustration and the fact that as you follow these
lines, and you wind up with all these people and tribes and nations, they're all idolatress. They have
abandoned the true and living God. And what you see here is the hopelessness of humanity. The
warning of the flood which drown the entire world didn't seem to have any effect on anybody.
Noah lived for 350 years after the flood; they would have had firsthand testimony that he would have
given to his children and his grandchildren about the tremendous flood, the father of Nimrod, Cush,
the great grandson of Noah, would have heard stories about the flood, perhaps from his own
grandfather who survived it. And what you see here is this relentless wickedness of man, in spite of
what he can have as firsthand information about the fact that God judged the entire world and drown
the whole earth, all of humanity and everything that breathed still seemingly had no effect. And the
genealogies are really the record of the Romans 1, "Man knowing God and glorifying him not as God
and not being thankful, moving away from God, into idolatry". People and nations hopelessly
scattered all over the earth, away from each other and away from God.
Here and there in ancient times there pops up a Job or a Melchezedic, a priest of the true God, a man
who believed in and loved and served the true God as Job did, but for the most part, apart from the
Melchezedics and the Jobs, human history was one sad repeat of the original decline of man.
Finally, God establishes a witness nation. So it's had 600 years of decline, and God calls Abraham
and says out of you I'm going to bring a great people, and this people I am going to give My Law and
My Covenants and My promises and my blessings, and they're going to be a witness nation to the
world. That was God's purpose for Israel. A witness to a world of polytheists and polydemonists and
animists, that there was one true God. And it was Israel that God called into existence to be that
witness nation.
But as we study the tenth chapter, it becomes apparent to us that life in the new world was just the
same as life in the old world. Why didn't God drown them? Because this was the age of grace, and
God said that He wouldn't do that again. Man was no better, but God decided to be patient and
gracious for His own sovereign purposes. Instead of judgment, He sent a people as a witness nation.
He gave them His Law, the Scripture. His Covenants, and His promises, to take to the world.
And so this genealogy shows this drift, this decline, and how these nations spread around and
oriented themselves around Israel by divine providence. Remember Acts 17:26, God determines the
times of the nations, and their location.
So here we are at the dawn of world history, number two. And we're going to see these nations in
relationship to Israel, who were hearing this read for the first time as they were about to enter the
Promised Land.
Now when you look at a genealogical record like this, it tends to be a blur, so let me help you sort
things out. It's pretty easy to break down. There are three sons, and so there are three sections.
There are the sons open source Japheth, then followed by the sons of Ham, followed by the sons of
Shem. And that's how the flow goes.
Each of these three sections has three categories. First, the son is listed; Japheth, Ham, Shem;
secondly, the descendents of the son are listed; and thirdly, a summary is given concerning these
offspring. So in each of the three sections the son is listed, his descendents are listed, and a
summary is given at the end. It's a one-verse summary; one appears in verse 5, one appears in
verse 20, another appears in verse 31.
Versus 1 and 32 basically make the same statement. Verse 1 says these are the generations of
Shem, Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, verse 32 says essentially the same thing, these are the
families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies by their nations, out of these the nations
were separated on the earth after the flood. So those statements bracket what is in between.
Now, in order to jump into this with a little bit of velocity, we need to go back to versus 25 to 27 where
I broke off last week. And I'm going to try to do this as rapidly as I can. As I said this morning, I don't
wanna do it more than once. We need to finish it tonight.
The only time we have any recorded words of Noah in all of the Bible they are these, starting in verse
25, he woke up, remember, from his drunken stupor in which he had made himself naked, and his
son Ham had come in and mocked his nakedness in some way and then gossiped about it to his
brothers, and so when Noah woke up he knew what his son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be
Canaan, a servant of servants he shall be to his brothers", he also said, "Blessed be the Lord the God
of Shem and let Canaan be his servant, may God enlarge Japheth and let him dwell in the tents of
Shem and let Canaan be his servant".
So here are curses and blessings, the polarizations, they are pronounced upon the sons and there's
an interrelation of the sons. Canaan is cursed and winds up being a servant to both Shem and
Japheth. Shem is blessed and specific injury served by Canaan, who is the son of Ham. Japheth is
enlarged, has a peaceful partnership with Shem, and is served by Canaan who is a descendent of
Ham, and we talked briefly about that.
Let me just make a couple of comments so you will understand this. why was Ham not cursed? We
asked that question last time, why doesn't he curse Ham, Ham is the one who saw his nakedness,
Ham is the one who went out and told his brothers about it and didn't cover his father, didn't
contribute to his modesty; but rather, relished in his father's indiscretion, why is Ham not cursed?
Answer, you can't curse someone who is God's. Ham was true believer, that's why he survived the
flood. Ham believed in the true God and his faith had been accounted to him for righteousness, he
was there for justified by God, he was a believer, back in chapter 9:1, "God blessed Noah and his
sons", that includes Ham, and so Ham having been blessed by God cannot be among the cursed,
and I believe the reason out of the four sons that could have been cursed, listed in chapter 10:6
Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan, Canaan was cursed because he was an unbeliever. I think that
unbelievers are the ones that are cursed, and God perhaps had to move all the way to that last son to
attach an appropriate punishment to that family, because the first three believed what their father
believed.
Canaan certainly was an unfaithful and ungodly son, and not a worshipper of the true God, and thus
he could be cursed. To give you a footnote on this, God doesn't curse those who belong to him, go
back in your mind to Genesis 3, we talk about the curse in Genesis 3. Read carefully versus 14 to
17, God actually cursed the serpent, obviously he could curse the serpent, God actually cursed the
ground, but God did not actually curse Adam, nor curse Eve. They came under the curse. The curse
on Satan affects mankind, the curse on the ground, that is the creation affects mankind, but curses as
such are reserved for unbelievers.
And so the curse falls on Canaan. And the curse is that he would be a servant of servants; that he
would wind up enslaved, under the dominant rulership of others. The others, all nations in the world,
come from Japheth or Ham, or Shem. And here we find that in God's purposes, children of Ham
through Canaan would be servants to the descendants of Japheth and Shem. And we'll see in a
moment that that in fact did come to pass.
And then the blessing comes in verse 26, Shem is blessed and Canaan is his servant, and Japheth is
blessed by enlargement, and peace with Shem, and Canaan is his servant. Now ultimately, that
comes to fulfillment when the children of Shem, the Semites, the Jewish people, conquer the
Canaanites and take over the Promised Land, but there's more to it than that. That's the ultimate,
ultimate end of this oracle or this prophesy when the Jewish people take over the land of Canaan.
That explains how Canaan becomes a servant of Shem; doesn't fully explain, however, how Canaan
becomes the servant of Japheth. We'll see that in a moment.
The plan of God, then, was that when the wicked children of Canaan, Ham's ungodly son, produced
families and nations, they would eventually occupy the most precious piece of real estate on the
planet, what we know as the Promised Land - the land pledged to Abraham in Genesis 15. In God's
sovereign, providential design, the Canaanites would occupy the land that we call Israel, until the
descendents of Shem, through Abraham, would conquer them, kill many of them, and take over that
land. And so we have the account here.
If there are no gaps, if we take the genealogy at face value, both in chapter 10 and particularly in
chapter 11 where the actual genealogy is given down to Abraham - if we follow the genealogy from
Noah down to Abraham, Noah lived almost to Abraham's life. Almost to Abrahams life. And then of
course after Abraham there were several hundreds of years until the Children of Israel actually
formed as a nation, went to Egypt, came back from Egypt, and took the Promised Land.
Now let's look at the final statement in verse 27 of this blessing - God enlarge Japheth. Japheth was
promised expansion, and that Canaan would be his servant. This happened. Let's take the second
part first. Canaan did become the servant of Japheth, Genesis 14 talks about a king by the name of
Tidal, King of Guine. Have you ever heard of that? Jewish people call gentiles Guine. It means
nations, peoples. So it is true, descendents of Japheth under this King of Guine, imposed servitude
on the Canaanite cities of Judah. And as I said later on sons of Shem conquered the Canaanites
when the Jewish people took the land, as had been promised to them.
The Canaanites, then, are doomed to perpetual slavery because they followed the moral turpitude of
their ancestors, Ham and Canaan. It isn't that God punished them by making them evil, it is that they
followed the evil of their fathers and thus in the providences of God, were to be cursed and the land
taken from them and given to the people of Israel.
Now all this is background to chapter 10. As we come into chapter 10, we come first of all to Japheth.
And I wanna tell you that I'm indebted to a number of writers who have done the tedious work in
sorting out all this. Eduardo Pracudo, the Hebrew commentator, Dr. Henry Morris, who has written
extensively on the Book of Genesis and my friend Jim Boyce who's now with the Lord, did a lot of
work on this family of nations section of Scripture; and all of them have contributed, as well as some
other, to my understanding of this.
Let's start with Japheth's line, okay? the sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal,
Meshech and Tiras; and the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah; the sons of
Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim and the Rodanim; from these the kosh lands of the nations
were separated into the lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into
their nations. So here are the descendents of Japheth listed, Japheth listed first, then the mention of
the descendents, and then in verse 5, the summary of these people were separated into lands and
languages and families and nations. Now all of this, of course, assumes the scattering of the Tower
of Babel, and won't be described until the first part of chapter 11.
Now, Japheth is the father of what we call Indo-European nations. Japheth's descendents go west,
and east; north from let's say Israel, and west and stretch all the way to the east. He is the father of
the Indo-European nations. From Europe across the north section of Israel, sweeping toward India.
It was in the 19thcentury that it became clear that the languages of the East and the West were
related. Requiring a common language ancestor for centuries, people didn't make a connection
between the languages of the East and languages of the West. In the 19thcentury, they made that
And one of the earliest languages that is at the base of both eastern and western languages is a
language that has been extinct for a long time, it's called Sanskrit. Have you ever heard of that?
Sanskrit. Linguistic students, even in modern times, go to India to study Sanskrit, because it is the
closest language to this entire range of languages. And what that means is that it's way back early on,
the source of many of these languages. And so it wasn't in the 19thcentury that we discovered that
there is a common source of languages that stretch from Europe all the way toward India. This
relationship of East and West of a common language, unsuspected until some of the technical work
of the 19thcentury, yet here it is in Genesis.
You will notice that if you have a McArthur Study Bible, you turn the page there's a map of where
these various people are located. You also will find the same map in color in the back section of the
maps at the back of the Bible. But if you're a little bit hard-pressed to trust me, let me help you. Let
me quote Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. The Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary states that
the Indo-European languages "...are the most important linguistic family of the globe. Comprising the
chief languages of Europe, together with the Indo-Iranian and other Asiatic tongues. In the 19th
century comparative and historical study of these languages, called also Indo-Germanic or Arian
languages - established their descent from a common ancestor, and they say spoken in the late stone
age." We can delete that. "They say this language sourced probably in eastern Europe, by a people
or group of people of unknown, perhaps mixed race - " this is quoting from the dictionary "- the
prehistoric dialects of the primitive Indo-Europeans accompany their migrations into India, Persia,
Greece, Rome". India, Persia that's east; Greece, Rome, that's west. "And the western borders of
Europe, where they are found at the beginning of history. The parent speech was highly inflected by
historically the general tendency of the Indo-European languages, has been toward the analytical
types such as French or English."
in a table accompanying this rather extended definition in the dictionary, this family of languages is
divided into two types. The dictionary says, "...the eastern languages involving the languages of
India, Afghanistan, Iran, Armenia, the Balkans, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Russia, Czechoslovakia,
Poland, parts of Germany, East Prussia, Lithuania and Latvia, and the western division of the
languages, languages of Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Romania, Cornwall,
Whales, Britney, Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, parts of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgian, and
England". That's the dictionary.
The Webster's Dictionary understands that languages of Europe, and languages into India are all
coming from the same source.
And I can give you lots of evidence; I don't wanna beg the issue. One little illustration. Greeks trace
themselves back, they trace their heritage back to a Chapitas, a form of Japheth. And you will read
about him in the writings of Aristophanes. People in the east, in India, Persia, trace themselves back
to a flood account with a man named Yapetehas their father. Yapeteh, Yapathas, Japheth. And so
go west you find Japheth, go east you find Japheth.
Now let's look at the text itself. Verse 2, we meet Gomer, information from historians Heratapus,
Strabo and Plutak indicate that Gomer's people settled north of the Black Sea in an area called
Kinera or Crymia - you've heard the word Crymia. And that's where they originally settled, according
to ancient writers. Sons of Japheth called Gomer went north in the Black Sea area, and even beyond
Later they expanded into Europe, settling in France called Gall, in Spain called Galacia, in Britain
called Celts, even in Whales called Kinre. All of those are very issues of the three consonants in
Gomer. And there may be some connection to Germany as well, although the consonants are
switched. Some connect the three consonants in linguistics with Cumberland Umbria which is
Ireland, and so forth. But all of that is in Europe to the north, and then migrating to the west.
Six other sons are mentioned;, Magog is mentioned, hard to identify. You find Magog in Ezekiel 35
as well. Magog is symbolic of the end time confederacy that comes to fight against the Messiah in
the last days, but it's hard to know where Magog is. Almost all interpreters in history would say it's to
the north. This is a people in the north. We could refer to those who became known as Cyphians,
who went to the north and a little bit east. Some associate them with Mongols and the Huns, who
went east as well. others say they were the people of Gogh, a familiar name around the Caspian and
the Black Sea. Josephus identifies Magog as the place where the people of Gogh lived, around the
Caspian Sea. That's the region of southern Russia, the Ukraine.
Then there are a couple of other sons named Tubal and Meshech. We wanna mention them
because they were also people in the north. Pretty easy to traced these people. We have found
Assyrian monuments. The Assyrians were the people to the north. Remember the Jews always
feared the Assyrians coming down? The Assyrians were in the north, and we have found some -
when I say we I mean those who study history - have found some monuments among the Assyrian
ruins identifying a people called Mushki, or Mushku, which is a lot like Mishech and another people
called Tubali. These letters show up in Amaskava river, in the city of Moscow, and the Tobal river
and the city of Tobalsk. And several other cities in the Russian area have that derivative name.
They are associated, also, Ezekiel 38 with the name Rosh, which is probably an early name that ends
up as Russia in later days. Now in verse 3, we meet some of the sons of Gomer. As I said, not all of
these sons of Japheth have their lines listed, but two of them do. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz
and Riphath, and Togarmah. Ashkenaz went north to settle, the name is preserved in a place called
Lake Ashkenaz, and the people of that area are called in its ancient writings as Homer the Askani.
They later moved to Germany so that Jews identified their people, German Jews, as - have you ever
heard this term - Ashkenazi Jews. Some of you who are Jewish have heard that phrase, and that
So the Ashkenaz family went north into the Lake Ashkenazi area. They later moved to Germany, and
still have that name identified with Jewish people in Germany.
Then there is Riphath, very hard to trace. Josephus says he was the father of the Pathologonians,
and we don't know exactly how they got mixed into the races after that. Togarmah, very interesting,
Togarmah we know about. Direct ancestor of Armenians. We have a number of Armenian people in
our church, and you probably have heard in your Armenian background, the house of Targum, the
house of Targum. It's a familiar identification of Armenian descent. Terms like Turkey, Turkistan,
Targum, come from Togarmah, the ancestors
Now, it's hard to be exact about this; these are migrating people - moving, mixing - but all agree, they
went north and west. And we find that words like these words, the GMR consonants, Megog,
Meschick, Tubal, Ashkenaz, Ripath, Togarmah, appear in those regions. Towns, cities, peoples, both
ancient and modern, but still bear similarity to those names.
Now we move from the west to the east; let's go to the Indo part. The Indo part - I know you're
wondering how we're going to get through all this - but this is an important section. We'll cover the
rest a little more rapidly. The Indo part we wanna look at now.
Look at Madai. The third son mentioned in verse 2, Madai. The root of the Meads, the ancient
Meads who lived in Persia, later lived in India and were part of an empire called the Meado-persian
empire. Meads.
And then back to verse 2 again, Javan, the fourth son of Japheth, very interesting, very interesting.
Father of various Greek peoples; Javan. In fact, when we think of Greeks, writes Jim Boyce, "We
think they belong to various families; the Helens, the Ionians, the Akkians, the Dorians; but for the
ancient people of the east, they were known by only one name: Yahban, or Ionian. This terms
comes from Yeban. Our most inclusive term, with the exception of the word Greek, is Hellas, from
which we have the world Hellenist and Halanpoint. Any time we talk about the Greeks, we talk about
the Hellenists. Hellas, Hellenist, Hellas Pont, is a derivative, he writes, look back in verse 4, of
Elishah, one of the sons of Yeban. So you have in Yeban the Ionian, which is the most generic term
for the Greeks, the next most generic term for the Greeks, Hellas, is associated with Elishah, then
you have Tarshish listed there as another son of Jevon. Tarshish is a city, you know it because
Jonah tried to escape it when running away from God. It's location is unknown, though many would
identify it with Tartasaus in Spain.
And then he had sons from which the Kateem and the Dodaneem came. That's not the name of the
son, but the people who came from the son. Most associated Kateem with Cypress and Rodanim
with Rhodes. And so we see these people in the south a little bit, and in the east, with the exception
of - I should say we see Javan in the west with his people, and the other people moving toward the
Let's go back to the east, I wanna pick up as much as I can. Madai specific injury the Meads, and his
people were the ones that moved to the east and one other name, Tiras, is included here.
Now again, this appears to be people who settle both in the east and the west. Hard to identify them;
some say the Atruskans who are known in the Roman Empire and eventually move to the west and
settle in Italy.
Bottom line, they're all around that area; in the west, in Europe, and some of them drifted to the east,
that's as far as we can go. So verse 5. "They were separated into their lands, everyone according to
his language, according to their families into their nations, and that fulfils the prophecy that Japheth
would be enlarged. Now let me get down to where we are.
Those of us who come from European stock most likely come from Japheth. Our forefathers in
Europe, obviously, were descendents of Japheth. Even those who come from Russia, even those
who come across Persia and India. And it is believed that people migrating across Russia, sons of
Japheth very possibly, came all the way to the Bearing Straits, down into Alaska, down into the North
American continent, down into the South American continent - where else would they come from,
they had to all come from Noah's family - and they became the Native Americans. So that those of us
who are Europeans may be close relatives to the Native Americans both in North America and South
They found their way around the world, but they lost their souls in the process. How sad. They
became the great colonizers of the world. most of the world's population, based on this scheme, are
Japhethites. And God said they will be enlarged, the students of history will tell you that they occupy
most of the world's land. Europe, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, they went west and east all the
way to India, all the way across Russia, all the way down the Americas, huge portion of the earth
belongs to the Japhethites who are enlarged.
Ham's line, quickly. Verses 6 and following, just a quick look. "And the sons of Ham were Cush and
Mizraim and Phut and Canaan. The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah, and
Raamah, and Sabtechah and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan."
Now jump down to verse 13. "And Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim
and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim and Casluhim -" from which came the Philistines as a note " - and
Caphtorim. And Canaan begat Sidon, his first born, and Heth, and the Jebucite and the Amorite, and
the Girgasite, and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and
the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. And the territory of
the Canaanites extended from Sidon as you go to Gerer as far as Gaza, as you go toward Sodom
and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even as far as Lasha".
And now we get a look at the whole Hamite club. Ham had four sons; Cush, Mizraim, Phut and
Canaan. Cush had five sons and two grandsons from Raamah named Sheba and Dedan, seven
names associated in verses 13 and 14 are families, not individuals; Mizraim - any time you see "im",
it's an ending that means a people. and all those ims in verses 13 and 14, and could be ites or ims.
Later he changes to ites, but ites or ims, it's the same thing. It's people groups.
So Ham has four sons from Cush come five sons, two grandsons, Cush becomes the father of
Nimrod, and then from Mizraim come all the ims that are indicated there.
Now, just a couple of things. Cush is the Bible's name for Ethiopia. So Ham's people went south.
We have to conclude that anyway by process of elimination that the Jacobites went east and west.
Who populated Africa? Who populated the southern part of the Middle East? And east of that?
Cush is the Bible's name for Ethiopia. There was also a Cush in Arabia, and Nimrod, son of Cush,
built his world empire in the Mesopotamian Valley, directly east of Israel, what's known as the Fertile
Crescent, the Tigris, Euphrates Valley.
All the sons of Cush went east. How do you know that? If you would look at the sons of Cush, in
verse 7 - I'm not gonna read those names again - all of those names can be identified with places in
Arabia. Mizraim is Egypt, verse 13, where Mizraim is indicated, and the people who came out of him
thus associated with Egypt in that area, Phut is Libia, in North Africa, west of Egypt, and Canaan, the
fourth son, was the ancestor of the various tribes that settled in the Promised Land. And those
various tribes included the Jebucite, the Amorite, the Girgishite, the Hivite, the Archite, the Sionite,
the _________, Zemarite, the Hammethite, and all those families of Canaanites that were scattered
all over everywhere. So the Canaanites were people who descended from Canaan, but they were all
kinds of families. All kinds of families.
And the Hittites, an interesting people. They have sort of a life of their own. The Hittites, you don't
need to introduce them, it's not important in this text - but in case you're wondering what happened to
the Hittites, they had an empire of their own which today is in the area of modern Turkey. At the time
of Abraham, they were in the Land of Canaan. And they were a powerful people. they were still in
power a thousand years after Abraham, time of Solomon.
Now I wanna just give you a little thought, okay? What about the oriental people? some of you here
are Asian in descent. Did the Japhethites get to China? Did the Japhethites get to Japan? Did the
Japhethites get to
Asia, Malaysia, or Indonesia or wherever? Doesn't seem that the Japhethites did. Most of the
evidence connects the heritage of Asian people to the descendants of Ham. Perhaps the Hittites who
came out of Ham were the ones who populated China.
Let me read you just a thought on this. Hittite empire endured a long time; as I said, over 1,000
years. And there are indications of survivors of the Hittite empire fled into China. That they went into
China, east of Turkey, moving, migrating on a route which Marco Polo took when he opened a new
era of commerce many centuries later. And some say it's the Hittites who got the name Katai, which
brought to the east the name Cathe, which of course, is a name associated with the Orient.
And some archeologists say that the Hittites and the Mongols have very similar features; shoes which
had toes which turned up, hair in a pigtail, pioneer work in smelting casting iron and the domestication
of horses. That's one possibility.
The other possibility of the origin of the Asians is from the Sinites Look at verse 17. The end of the
verse, Sinite. When we talk about American Chinese relations, what do we call those? What do we
call them? Sino-American relations. Why do we call them Sino-American relations? Well, the word
Sin, S-i-n, is a common word in the Orient. There is a dynasty, the Sin Dynasty. It's a word that
means purebred. Many emperors used Sin as a title. There is the study of China, do you know what
it's called? Sinology. And so it is possible that they came from Ham. But I'll tell you this - they came
from Noah's family.
There is a Chinese scholar in the church that keeps giving me lessons in the Chinese language, all
through the Book of Genesis, and showing me how the Chinese letters are really pictures, prove their
connection. They have words that are connected - demonstrating pictures, the story of the Garden of
Eden. The Serpent, tree, Adam, Eve - the whole thing.
But one of the ones that's very interesting that I just discovered is the Chinese word for ship. The
Chinese figure for ship, it's not really a word, it's a figure. The Chinese figure for ship is made of a
three components. If I had a board I'd draw it for you. Three components. Component number one
is container. Component number two is person, and they depict a person by a mouth that's open.
Because what distinguishes a person is the ability to communicate; speak. So these three figures are
all pressed together for the sign of a ship. One of them is a container, the sign for a container; one is
the sign for a person, and the other is the number 8. that's the Chinese word for ship. A ship is how
8 people got in a container and survived. That's how the Chinese language - and that's one of
hundreds of illustrations - there's an entire book on this. they take their roots all the way back to the
ark. And it's most likely that they came either from the Hittites strains of Ham, or from the Sinite
strains of Ham.
Now, for just a brief moment, versus 8-12. Versus 8-12 introduce us to this one child of Cush named
Nimrod. He became a mighty one on the earth, he was a mighty hunter before the Lord, therefore it
is said "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord". In other words, if you wanted to say
somebody was really powerful, you would say he was like Nimrod. He was the prototypical powerful
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and here we're introduced to Babel. Erech, and Accad,
and Calneh, in the land of Shinar, from that land he went forth into Asshur, and built Nineveh,
Rehoboth, and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, that is the Great City. There's that
little interlude, in the middle of this genealogy of man, or this flow of families, we are introduced to this
Nimrod person. And he's really important. because this is the first time in the Bible that the word
kingdom is used. There's never been a kingdom before, and the beginning of his kingdom was
Babel, and the beginning of the kingdom was Babel. He is the world's first king. The first world
empire. Even the Lord recognized his power, but he was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore
it is said of Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord, even the Lord noted his tremendous power. First
great world king who built the first great world empire, and we'll find out when we get to chapter 11
that the world empire called Babel was idolatress and anti-God and rebellious and wicked.
Now when it says he was a mighty hunter, it doesn't mean he was a hunter of animals, he was a killer
of men. A better way to translate that is he was a mighty warrior. He was a mighty soldier. This great
grandson of Noah, grandson of righteous Ham, wielded deadly power; ruled ruthlessly right in the
middle of the Euphrates Valley, and no doubt conquered all kinds of people and consolidated families
and people-groups and tribes into his great Babel. Great in power, great in sin, great in idolatry, great
in defiance of God - this was the first real city of man in the new world, built for man's glory.
It was a preview of a later city called Babylon, which is a preview of a final Babylon that will be built by
the Anti-Christ at the end of human history.
Nimrod built Babel. Nebakanezer and Nimrod-like men built Babylon, and the Anti-Christ will build
the final Babylon. By the way, Nimrod's name in Hebrew - rebel. Rebel. And all of the places of his
kingdom named - I won't go over verses 10-12, see all those names? They stretch from the northernmost point of the Mesopotamian Valley at Minevah, down to the Persian Gulf and the southernmost
point in Iraq. And all the area in between. This was a massive kingdom. And so we meet the sons of
Japheth, families, tribes, peoples and nations, and of Ham. That clears the path. Now we can get to
the main one.
Verse 21 - just quickly - and also to Shem. "The father of all the children of Eber, and the older
brother of Japheth, children were born". He isn't listed last because he's the youngest, he's actually
older than Japheth. He's listed last because that clears the path for the genealogy and the account
that leads to Abraham. And immediately, in verse 21, we meet Shem the father of all the children of
Eber, and here is the first reference to a word that we use all the time - the word Hebrew. Hebrew. It
is from Shem that the Summites. It is from Shem that comes all the sons of Eber, and gave the name
Hebrew to the chosen people.
Now in versus 22 and following, lists the sons of Shem. They all settled in the Middle East. Lud,
mentioned in verse 22, is the farthest north, up by the Black Sea, Havilah, Opher, Sheba, and several
others, were the farthest south - all the way, literally - all the way down to the Gulf of Aiden at the tip
of the Red Sea, where it goes into the Arabian Ocean. I mean, this group stretched across the
Middle East from north to south. All the way to Lud in the north, all the way to Havilah and Opher remember the gold of Opher in the south? And the rest, but bulk of them in the middle in the land
surrounding Canaan to the east. So all the way to the south, the north and east of the Land of
Canaan.
Just a couple of them are mentioned; Elam is mentioned in verse 22, the father of the Elamites, there
was a king - and we'll find out about him in Genesis 14 - named Kedarlaomer, remember him? King
of Elam invaded Canaan, so that the sons of Canaan served the sons of Shem. They didn't have to
wait until the Canaanites were conquered by the Israelites; Kedarlaomer was a Shemite who
conquered Canaanites in the 14thchapter of Genesis.
And among the allies of Kedarlaomer was this title King of Goem, the nations, the Havaheim, the
coastline people from Japheth, so in the Battle of Kedarlaomer, Canaan was subdued both by the
sons of Japheth and the sons of Ham.
Elamites lived east of Mesopotamia, had their capital in a place called Susa, or Shushan, mixed with
the Meads and made up the Persian Empire. You also notice Asher, father of the Assyrians
conquered by Nimrod, they became racially mixed. You have the name Arphaxad, he is in the line of
Abraham, we'll see that over in chapter 11:12; Lud, the father of the Lydians in Asia Minor, Arom, the
father of the Elamayans or Syrians who play a major role in the rest of the Bible history - and by the
way, it was the Aramians who developed guess what language? Aramaic. A couple of portions of
the Bible, Daniel and Ezra are in Aramaic.
Then there was another descendant, the sons of Aram Uz; do you know who lived in Uz? Not the
wizard. Job lived in Uz. Job 1:1. one more name, okay? all those other names I kind of eluded to,
but there's one name in verse 25. Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in
his days, the earth was divided. Hmm. What does that mean? Peleg means divided. And I think he
was named for the judgment of God at Babel. We're gonna find out in chapter 11 that when the world
was one big empire under Nimrod, God came down and judged and divided it. divided them into
separate locations and separate languages.
Nimrod was a contemporary of Eber. So Babel was built with its tower in Eber's lifetime. And Eber
named his son Peleg - division - when he saw what God did to Babel. And we'll see that story in the
11thchapter. So Eber, whose name came down to the word Hebrew, named his son in those days
when the earth was divided.
Well, the rest of those names stretch the children of Shem, the Semites, all across the Middle East as I said, from near the Black Sea in the north, all the way down to where the Red Sea dumps into
the gulf of Aiden, in the ocean. Extensive range of people, all remaining in the Middle East.,;
So Ham settles the south, Africa, and to Asia. Japheth settles to the north; Europe and into the
northeast Persia and India. And Shem stays in the Middle East. "These", verse 31 says, "are the
sons of Shem according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to
their nations. Twenty six families are listed from Shem, 30 from Ham, 14 from Japheth, totaling 70.
Philistines are mentioned parenthetically to explain to the Jews who were hearing this read hundreds
of years later.
What is it a story about? Its' a story about how far man fell and how fast. Go across the face of the
earth today and all you're gonna find is that Romans 1 came to pass, right? when they knew the true
God they abandoned that true knowledge, and they developed all these bizarre, wacky, idolatress,
rebellious religions that cover the face of the earth. Idolatry started very early at Babel, it's still going
on, it'll end up ultimately in the final Babylon.
Martin Luther. Martin Luther wrote this many centuries ago. "We have reason to regard the Holy
Bible highly, and to consider it a most precious treasure. This very chapter, even though it is
considered full of dead words, has in it the thread that is drawn from the first world to the middle and
to the end of all things. From Adam, the promise concerning Christ is passed on to Seth. From Seth
to Noah, from Noah to Shem, and from Shem to Eber from whom the Hebrew nation received its
name as the heir for whom the promise about the Christ was intended, in preference to all other
peoples of the whole world."
Says Luther, "This knowledge, the Holy Scripture revealed to us, those who are without them live in
error, uncertainty and boundless ungodliness, for they have no knowledge about who they are and
whence they came." And so now you know. Now when it says in Romans 1, when they knew God
they glorified him not as God, this is where that began. Now it stretches across the globe.
Next time we're going to see how God scattered the people from Babel in one of the most fascinating
sections of Genesis.
Lord, thank you for helping us to get through this tonight, and I trust and pray that some of it will stick
in our minds, and if it dominate our thoughts, it would be that overwhelming reality that you are the
God of history. And you have revealed yourself, and been gracious to man, who continually under all
circumstances, turns his back and rebels. And you have always, however, reached out; in grace, in
mercy, to the repentant sinner, who hears your word and believes. And may you use us to call this
wayward world back to the one they once knew, and have so willfully abandoned. We thank you for
this privilege of being your witness nation in our world, in Christ's name, Amen.

Riding With Roland
One of the great things about baseball is that it still brings excitement to fans whether they're 7 or 70. And, no matter when it happened, you'll always remember that time you got to meet an icon of the game. For some, it's that autographed baseball you got from your favorite player. For others, it was the chance to talk with a player, coach or manager during Spring Training or at a sports function. Or maybe you had the unique opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with someone whose plaque hangs in Cooperstown.
My retirement community has a very active Sports Club filled with the most knowledgeable baseball fans you'll ever meet. We attend a number of games at Chase Field in Phoenix each season and also gather at local ballparks for Spring Training and the Arizona Fall League. In addition, at least a dozen times each year, we are privileged to have guest speakers who give of their time and come talk with us about the national pastime. Over the years, we've been fortunate enough to host Fergie Jenkins, Matt Williams, Josh Hamilton, John D'Acquisto, Peter Magowan (former owner of the Giants), Jeff Idelson (HOF President) Bernie Pleskoff (MLB.com writer), Daron Sutton, legendary scouts Art Stewart & Mel Didier as well as many others.
Of all our visitors over the last decade, the most frequent and most accommodating has been Roland Hemond, Special Assistant to the President & CEO of the Diamondbacks. He has made multiple presentations to the Club, has attended numerous functions and has also used his influence to bring in other speakers. At our recent holiday party, Roland was a featured guest and received a plaque from the group in thanks of his contributions over the years. I had the enviable task of picking him up at his Phoenix home for the 45-minute drive out to our community, which allowed me to talk baseball with one of the most famous executives in the history of the game. Of course, a few detours would have helped because his first big-league job was in 1952.
Talking with Roland is akin to attending a class in baseball history. In 1949, he was in the Coast Guard and stationed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Along with 68,000 other people, he was in Yankee Stadium on October 2nd for the one-game playoff for the American League Pennant between the Yankees & Red Sox. In the car last week, he gave me a virtual play-by play of the game from Ellis Kinder's tough luck loss (allowing only one run in 7 innings for the Sox) to Jerry Coleman's 3 RBI's in the bottom of the 8th that put the game out of reach for the Yanks. We also came to the realization that "small world" moments are always part of the game. Roland's first big league job was with the Boston Braves in 1952 and he admitted that occasionally, he would sneak over to Fenway Park to see the Red Sox and the great stars of the American League. There's a good chance that a six-year old boy was also in attendance, as that's the same year my Uncle first began taking me to the ballpark.
So, for the casual fan, who is Roland Hemond? The resume is impressive…
> 1952-60 – Worked in the front office of the Boston/Milwaukee Braves (Eddie Mathews' rookie year was '52, Hank Aaron's was '54).
> Scouting and Farm Director of the expansion Los Angeles Angels from 1961-70.
> Became the Assistant GM of the White Sox in 1971 was the GM from 1973-85.
> General Manager of the Orioles from 1988-95.
> Senior Executive VP for the Diamondbacks from 1996-2000.
> Executive Advisor for the White Sox from 2000-07 and then back to the D'Backs in 2008.
> Considered the architect of the Arizona Fall League, which began in 1992 and is still recognized as the premier developmental program in baseball.
His success and reputation in the game can be measured by the awards he has received….
> Selected as MLB's Executive of the Year three times (1972, 1983 & 1989).
> The New York baseball writers presented him with the prestigious William J. Slocumb Award.
> The Honors Award from the Baseball Coaches of America.
> In 2011, the Baseball Hall of Fame selected him as only the second recipient of the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award for his extraordinary efforts to enhance the game's positive impact on society. Presented in Cooperstown, the honor is bestowed upon an individual whose efforts broadened the game's appeal and whose character, integrity and dignity are comparable to the late O'Neil, the former negro league player who passed away in 2006 at age 94.
You would think that a person with this history might be slightly full of himself, but if you meet Roland, you find that the exact opposite is true. During our visit, he told a little tale on himself from the 1970's. One of the other AL teams was attempting to get a pitcher through waivers late in the season, so they could trade him to a contender. Sometimes teams will put in a claim in these situations in order to block the prospective deal and then the original team will just pull the player back. Roland put in the waiver claim and then the team didn't pull back the player. When he informed his staff, the first thing they said was, "where are we going to get the $20,000 for the claim?" If that doesn't show you how the business of baseball has changed in the last 40 years, nothing will. Of course, they found the money and the Pitcher won 20 games in both of the next two seasons.
Roland's mlb.com bio also tells you about what it was like to be a GM in during that 25+ year span. The stats say that he negotiated 135 trades involving 428 players. In just the first few years in Chicago, there were deals including Ron Santo, Dick Allen & Goose Gossage. During his Orioles tenure, trades show the names of Brady Anderson, Curt Schilling, Fred Lynn & Harold Baines. The best piece of trivia, however, might be that in 1976, Roland traded Tony LaRussa.
The history of the game comes in many shapes & sizes…and people. It's nice to know that even men who didn't wear the uniform can still be baseball treasures.

Even as a young boy in eleventh-century China, Su Shih was clearly special. After finding a rare inkstone, he began to write stories and verses expressing his love of the natural world. His words flowed effortlessly. His brush danced across the paper.
Su Shih grew up to become a leading scholar and statesman, eventually taking the name Su Dongpo. Integrating his love of natural order and humanity into his writings and civic works, Su Dongpo promoted justice and condemned corruption — often at his own peril. His life was rife with reversals of fortune; but through it all he retained his grace, his humility, and his compassion.
Award-winning author and artist Demi has created a graceful tribute to one of history's most accomplished yet overlooked figures. Su Dongpo's life truly transcends the ages and is a shining example of dignity, ingenuity, courage and resilience.

Campaign begins for Basran
Nicholas Johansen - Sep 28, 2018 / 5:00 am | Story: 237742
With the upcoming municipal election a little more than three weeks away, Colin Basran kicked off his re-election campaign Thursday night at Summerhill Winery.
Basran, who served for one term as a Kelowna city councillor before he was elected mayor in 2014, addressed a crowd of about 300 supporters Thursday.
"If you imagine Kelowna as I do, then I humbly ask for your vote of continued confidence on Oct. 20," Basran told the crowd.
Looking back on his last four years as mayor, Basran says he has many things to be proud of, including the city's economy, it's investments in housing, the opening of the Okanagan Rail Trail and the Journey Home Strategy, a five-year, $47-million plan to address homelessness in the city.
Looking to the future, Basran says there's still lots of work to be done.
"The big ones are homelessness and helping people get off our streets, as well as helping increase the sense of safety for our residents because we know that a number of our community members have said they don't necessarily feel safe in different parts of our community," he said.
"I want to help make sure that we have available housing and make sure that it's affordable for people in our community. We need to make it easier for people to get around."
Basran says while council has been working to tackle these issues already, "they can't be solved overnight."
"We can continue to do what we can to address them and that's what I'd like to do."
Three others have thrown their hat in the ring against the incumbent mayor on Oct. 20. These include former Kelowna Chamber of Commerce president Tom Dyas, Bakery Boardshop owner Bobby Kennedy and former bylaw officer Bob Schewe.

French researchers have discovered a new gene linked to autism, a mental disability which prevents sufferers from communicating and forming relationships normally and whose causes are unknown. The study, published Sunday online by Nature Genetics journal, found that all of five autistic children studied had anomalies in the SHANK3 gene, responsible for making the connections in the brain necessary for language development.
The most distinctive symptoms of autism are problems with communication, forming relationships and developing strong obsessional traits. The Institut Pasteur study showed "the key role of the gene in the organisation of neurone connections" in the brain, lead researcher Thomas Bourgeron told AFP. "This gene, named SHANK3, does not explain all forms of autism" warned Bourgeron, but it might help explain the communication difficulties which provide major social obstacles to many sufferers. The study sample included five people from three families, each suffering either from autism or Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's Syndrome is an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) which shares most of the symptoms of autism with less severe communication problems. "It (ASD) affects about one child in 200 and four times' more boys," Bourgeron said of the lifelong disorders.
In 2003, Bourgeron's team identified anomalies on SHANK3, which produces the proteins necessary to construct synapses, the junctions between the brain's neural pathways. They discovered significant "deletions" to various degrees in the gene. One participant, who was autistic but had learned to talk, was found to have a "duplicate" of the gene. The research was conducted with Paris' psychiatric services institute Inserm, and the University of Gothenberg in Sweden. Autism usually does not appear in infants before the age of three, though it can be diagnosed as early as 18 months.
Children who suffer from it display impaired social skills and communications abilities throughout their lives, and their families bear a substantial financial and emotional burden in caring for them. Global statistics on autism are limited, with figures appearing to show the disease on the rise. According to the Autism Society of America, 10 percent to 17 percent more people are diagnosed with autism each year, but this may be partly due to increasing awareness and identification of the disease.
The US Center for Disease Control estimates that between one child in 500 and one in 166 may be diagnosed with a disease on the autism spectrum. The causes of autism remain mysterious. Years of research have gone into identifying a genetic cause. US autism researcher Bernard Rimland, who died in November, courted controversy by claiming that an increase in autism diagnoses might be caused by childhood vaccinations. Research is increasingly addressing the idea that autism may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
