The Earth Repopulated

And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan, These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. Genesis 9:18-19

Steps 3, 12

God chose to repopulate the earth out of these three men, and their wives. We do not know how long it took them to have sufficient children to repopulate the earth but we do know that Genesis chapter 10 is the genealogy of all the different sons, and the different nations. We don’t know if Noah, and his wife, had any more children but we do know that Noah lived 350 more years after the flood. In the fertile years of Noah’s sons they could each have produced 400-600 children so it would not take many generations to have a lot of children. From these families all of the various races of men came from. So we are all brothers, or cousins to all people.

Prayer for Today: Thank You Lord for having the foresight to see how all of these things would unfold. You did a very good job then and we pray that You will take care of business today as well. We need Your help. Keep us focused and grant us a vision of Your ability to care for us. Thank You for being there in our time of need.
