The Ends of The Earth

[Soleilmavis]

Mankind were scattered by Lord over the face of the whole earth after Babel (Genesis 11:9). The phrase ‘Whole Earth’ clearly told us that The Ends of the Earth were definitely not near the land of Middle East where Jerusalem, the Holy city, the Capital city of the God’s world located; They should include: Easternmost place in China; Westernmost place in USA; Northernmost place near Arctic Circle; Southernmost place in Australia and New Zealand

1.    Introduction

Old and New Testament Bible Stories had told us The Creation Story; and God used Jews stories to teach us that when the Jews obeyed God, they did well. When they disobeyed, the consequences were bad. 

Jesus, walked the earth in the form of a man, he lived only near Jerusalem. But God did not only live in Jerusalem. God was everywhere!

When Noah was 601 years old, the water had dried up from the earth (Genesis8-13). From Noah to Peleg, the whole world had one language and a common speech, they settled in Shinar (Babylonia) (Genesis11-1). Since Peleg, the world was divided (Genesis 10-25).and the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth (Genesis 11-8).

The Bible used the phrase "the ends of the earth" more than 58 times. [1] “The Ends of the Earth” also called “The Four Corners of the Earth” (The Easternmost Place; The Westernmost Place; The Southernmost Place; The Northernmost Place).

(1) In Psalm 65:5 the ends of the earth were parallel to the farthest sea.

(2) Isaiah 41:5 which said, "The islands have seen it and fear; the ends of the earth tremble. They approach and come forward;" Here islands were considered to be synonymous with, or near the ends of the earth. The earth was surrounded by water, but there were islands at the edge of the world where the sky met the sea.

(3) Revelations 7:1 and 20:8 mentioned the four corners of the earth.

When The Queen of the South would rise at the Judgment (Matthew 12:42), more stories of “the Ends of the Earth” would be given.

William McGaaghey (Five Epochs of Civilization: World History as Emerging in Five Civilizations) thought that there were five Epochs of Civilization: Ancient Babylon (4000BCE - 2250BCE), Ancient Egypt (before 3500BCE), Ancient Greece (3000BCE - 1100BCE), Ancient India (before 2000BCE), Ancient China (before 2000). [2]

Four civilizations were near Jerusalem. Only Ancient China was from the East End of the Earth--far away from Jerusalem. It was the Promised Land where The Queen of the South would be born.

Mr. Carleton S. Coon had divided humanity into five races: Caucasoid race, Mongoloid race, Negroid race, Capoid race, Australoid race.

I) The descendants of Shem (Genesis 10:21-32) spread out over all the Continent of Asia to North and East. They eventually reached the East Corner and the North Corner of the Earth. They were partial Caucasoid race (White) and partial Mongoloid Race (yellow).

II) The descendants of Japheth (Genesis10:2-5) were maritime people, they were good at navigation. They spread out all over the Continent of Europe to West. They also spread out to North (Slavs in Russia), India and south Asia where were the tents of Shem (Genesis 9-27 .....may Japheth live in the tents of Shem....). They spread out to America (Genesis 9-27 May God extend the territory of Japheth....). They eventually reached the West Corner of the Earth.

The descendants of Japheth were the Caucasoid race (White).

III) The descendants of Ham (Genesis 10:6-20)

(1) Nimrod (Ham-Cush-Nimrod) was a mighty warrior, He built his kingdom: In Shinar (Babylonia): (Babylon, Erech, Akkad, Calneh), and In Assyria: (Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, Resen)

The Bible had recorded a history of all kingdoms of Nimrod from its rise to fall.

(2) The descendants of Ham spread out to the South to Africa. They also spread out over South Asia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Through Malay Archipelago (a bridge prepared by God); they arrived in Australia and New Zealand and small islands of The South Pacific Ocean. They eventually reached the South Corner of the Earth.

The descendants of Ham were Negroid race, Capoid race, and Australoid race. They had the dark skin color.

This article briefly introduced where “the Ends of the Earth” were; who lived in “the Ends of the Earth”; The Brief histories and legends of “The Ends of the Earth”.

Through stories of the Ends of the Earth, it should bring more confidence that Bible prophesied the development of human history; Prophecies of the Bible were fully fulfilled; we had the same God; we were all brothers and sisters in God’s big family.
