[1] {the Lord said in heart}
The Third Dispensation: Human Government. Under Conscience, as in
Innocency, man utterly failed, and the judgment of the Flood marks
the end of the second dispensation and the beginning of the third.
The declaration of the Noahic Covenant subjects humanity to a new
test. Its distinctive feature is the institution, for the first
time, of human government--the government of man by man. The highest
function of government is the judicial taking of life. All other
governmental powers are implied in that. It follows that the third
dispensation is distinctively that of human government. Man is
responsible to govern the world for God. That responsibility rested
upon the whole race, Jew and Gentile, until the failure of Israel
under the Palestinian Covenant (Deu 28.-30.1-10) brought the judgment
of the Captivities, when "the times of the Gentiles" (See)
# Lu 21:24 Re 16:14
began, and the government of the world passed exclusively into
Gentile hands
# Da 2:36-45 Lu 21:24 Ac 15:14-17
That both Israel and the Gentiles have governed for self, not God, is
sadly apparent. The judgment of the confusion of tongues ended the
racial testing; that of the captivities the \\Jewish\\; while the
\Gentile\\ testing will end in the smiting of the Image (Da 2.) and
the judgment of the nations
# Mt 25:31-46

[2] {and said unto them}
The Noahic Covenant. The elements are:
(1) The relation of man to the earth under the Adamic Covenant is
confirmed
» See Note "Ge 8:21"
(2) The order of nature is confirmed (Ge 8.22)
(3) Human government is established (Ge 9.1-6)
(4) Earth is secured against another universal judgment by water
# Ge 8:21 9:11
(5) A prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will descend an
inferior and servile posterity
# Ge 9:24,25
(6) A prophetic declaration is made that Shem will have a peculiar
relation to Jehovah
# Ge 9:26,27
All divine revelation is through Semitic men, and Christ, after the
flesh, descends from Shem.
(7) A prophetic declaration is made that from Japheth will descend the
"enlarged" races
# Ge 9:27
Government, science, and art, speaking broadly, are and have been
Japhetic, so that history is the indisputable record of the exact
fulfilment of these declarations. See notes from Gen 8.21 for the other
seven covenants: EDENIC (Ge 1.28); ADAMIC (Ge 3.15); ABRAHAMIC (Ge
15.18); MOSAIC (Ex 19.25); PALESTINIAN (Deu 30.3); DAVIDIC (2Sa 7.16);
NEW (He 8.8).

[1] Gomer [2] Magog [3] Madai [4] Javan [5] Tubal [6] Meshech [7] Tiras
[1] Progenitor of the ancient Cimerians and Cimbri, from whom are descended
the Celtic family.
[2] From Magog are descended the ancient Scythians, or Tartars, whose
descendants predominate in the modern Russia. See Ez 38.2 39.6 Re 20.8
[3] Progenitor of the ancient Medes.
[4] Progenitor of those who peopled Greece, Syria, etc.
[5] Tubal's descendants peopled the region south of the black Sea, from
whence they spread north and south. It is probable that Tobolsk
perpetuates the tribal name. A branch of this race peopled Spain.
[6] Progenitor of a race mentioned in connection with Tubal, Magog, and
other northern nations. Broadly speaking, Russia, excluding the conquests
of Peter the Great and his successors, is the modern land of Magog, Tubal,
and Meshech.
[7] Progenitor of the Thracians.
From these seven sons of Japheth are descended the \\goyim\\, or Gentile,
nations, trans. "heathen" 148 times in the A.V. The name implies nothing
concerning religion, meaning simply, non-Israelite, or "foreigner."
