The whole panorama of history is viewed from an unusual, but highly intriguing, perspective based on the genealogy of Noah's sons (Gen.10) and on the pithy statement made by Noah (Gen. 9: 24-27):

Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Blessed be the LORD God of Shem,
And Canaan shall be his servant.

God shall enlarge Japheth,
And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem,
And Canaan shall be his servant.

It is assumed, from the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, that the present world population is derived from Noah's sons; that the three basic racial stocks are Semitic, Hamitic, and Japhetic, which have, in spite of racial mixing, maintained a certain integrity throughout history, even to the present time.

It is also assumed, from Noah's statement in Genesis 9, that God intended each branch to make a unique contribution necessary for the welfare of the whole race.

-- No one knows God's plan, in absolute certainty. Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem, and not Chicago, or Beijing? Mysteries worth understanding, IMO. Not impediments to salvation, as you believe.
