As we read the Old Testament, we are sometimes baffled by names of places and where they were/are located. As the study of Ham continues, it must be kept in mind that the land settled is named for that person. For example, Ham fathered Egypt and turned to idolatry calling himself Son of the Moon (translated in Noah’s time as Egypt) and often referred to as the Land of Ham. The Hamites were known for physical strength, long endurance, and warlike. Ham and his descendants fathered 30 countries. His four sons were Cush, Phut (Put), Mizraim, and Canaan.

Cush settled Ethiopia (Turanian Race) south of Egypt and some
migrated north of the Persian Gulf [See Map]. Cush’s sons fathered:
Seba (Meroe)
Havilah (Arabia)
Sabtah/Sabtecah (Sabbatha)
Raamah (Persian Gulf); two
children, Sheba and Dedan
In the days of Noah, it was traditional
to list children in birth order or status determined by the father. Either way,
Shem was always listed first. Following the debacle over Ham’s derision of his
father, Noah blessed Shem above his brothers. However, Japheth later shared in
this blessing. The name, Shem, means “name” a way of expressing his father’s
desire that Shem’s name would mean greatness. This was accomplished in direct
family lineage beginning with Adam’s son, Seth .A brief example would be Seth
to Shem, and on to Abraham, Judah, David and eventually to Jesus. Shem is the
ancestor of all of Eber’s sons. The name, Eber, means Hebrew (not to be
confused with Heber) Shem is the progenitor of the Semitic peoples and one of
his descendants is Abraham, the first person in the Bible with the designation of Hebrew (Gen. 14: 13). From Abraham
came three great world religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Nations Fathered by Shem and Descendants
Shem produced five sons: Asher,
Arphaxed, Elam, Lud, and Aram. Asher is associated with Assyria; Arphaxed is
related to Chaldea in southern Mesopotamia; Lud is connected to the Lydians of
Asia Minor; and Aram who is noted by biblical scholars as founding Syria north
of the Promised Land.

Japheth is one of the three sons of Noah and progenitor of the Aryan race. He and his descendants fathered Europe and East Asian peoples. His name means “God will enlarge.” Arabic records show his name as Yafeth bin Nuh. The Japhethites were characterized as intellectual people. Japheth fathered seven sons: Gomer, Magog, Tobal, Mechech, Madi, Javen, and Tiras.
Nations Founded by Japheth and Sons.
Japheth (Aryan
race) King of Turkey
Gomer (Celts/Cimmerians) settled north of the Black Sea and later spread to Germany, France, Spain and the British Isles. His son, Ashkenaz, fathered Nysia, and Phygia: Japheth’s son Rephath settled Riphaeon; and Japheth’ son, Togarmah fathered Armenia.
Magog founded the Scythians and settled north of the Caspian Sea. Magog is not Russia, but Turkey. See note and White’s research https://hightimetoawake.com/princes-of-turkey/
Many biblical scholars jumped to the conclusion that Rosh
meant Russia. This was improper research and nowhere else is it used – trying to
find similar words in English. In its proper Hebrew language “rosh” means
first, primary, and prominent. Magog is the most prominent son of Japheth, Magog,
Tubal, and Mechech were first to settle Turkey.
Madi fathered the Medes and settled south of the Caspian sea.
Javan,
whose name means Greek, produced four sons: Elishah, whose people became the Aeolians;
Tarshish fathered Tarterssus; Kittim settled Cyprus; and Dodanim fathered the Trojans.
Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras Connection to Turkey:
Father is Japheth(Aryan race) King of Turkey
Tubal
is associated with the Iberians (the Prince of the province) and settled near
where Georgia is today and then became a prince of Turkey.
Tiras
is associated with Turkey (a Prince) and controlled the province westward to
Urartu and Armenia. His domain was known as Trace that was bordered by Dinaric
Alps, Greek Plateau, and between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Mechech
is connected to Turkey as a Prince. Tubal, Mechech and Tubal were mariners who
had extensive trade routes and their tribes were very warlike.
NOTE: Gog and Allies Attack Israel; connection of Gog and Assyrians in end times
38 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 a“Son of man, bset your face against cGog, of the land of dMagog, 1the prince of *Rosh, eMeshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. [Rosh is Hebrew for first; Magog was the first son to settle in Turkey and Magog/Gog was the name of the province ; this was a mistranslation of the word “rosh” and many biblical scholars make the of mistake of assuming it is Russia. Nowhere in the Table of Nations or anywhere else does Russia occur. The names and places discussed are a part of Turkey].
