    Gen.12.6-20 "Canaanites"

    "And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land./ And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him."

    God's promise to Abraham was established. According to the Covenant Abraham understood what he meant. He may pass through the lands now held by the Canaanites whose iniquity was still growing but not yet ripe for complete annihilation as He shall begin with Sodom by and by. Meanwhile Abraham makes a complet circle returning to where he began and he makes a detour to the South. The Land of Egypt reveals another aspect of the descendants of Ham. Whosoever, an alien come into his kinddom he had to have the woman if she were fair to look upon. "when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair./The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house."(vv.14-15) In the old world destroyed by flood it was the sons of God who, " That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."(6.2). Where did the seed of Ham learn it? Satan had planted such spirit of free enterprise in the sons of Noah and God made it a point in the Decalogue. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife." (Exod.20.17)

    God tells Jeremiah of what worth was the Law of Moses to them. "How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife." Israel was Canaanite at heart. "Unto thy seed will I give this land." Thus seed of Abraham refers to something else

    In Oct, 2023 before the Hamas hostage-taking was this new. Five ultra-orthodox Jeswe were filmed spitting at Christian pilgrims at Old Quarter of Jerusalem. The same old spirit of Belial who jeered at Elisha as he was going to Bethel. The world has forgotten these endemic insults hurled at pilgrims as a matter of course. Shall not God step in under such poltroonery of Jews, Canaanites, all at their own brethren? 'They hated me without cause' as Jesus cited the word of God .Evangelics behave as proverbial ostrich. Their godliness also has the hallmark of who their father is.
