There is a certain prophecy, at Genesis 9:27, which reads, “God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant”. Without discussing the part concerning Canaan, this will be discussed briefly here. It is evident that Yahweh surely did enlarge Japheth, for these tribes were spread out over a great area along the southern coasts and eastern borderlands of Europe. Although a separate and lengthy topic, once it is realized that not only the Phoenicians of Tyre, Sidon, Byblos (et al.), northern Africa, the Greek and Italian islands, Spain and Britain, but also the Keltic and Germanic peoples, and the Trojans and Illyrians and Parthians, among others, were all descendants of the Shemitic Israelites, and most of whom had moved into Europe, along with other Shemites such as the Lydians (see Lud below), only then may the oracle at Genesis 9:27 (and most other prophecies in the Bible) be manifest and appreciated.
Aside from the peoples of Meshech and Tubal having been conquered by, and living among the Germanic Rus (and we see here that the Slavic tongue prevailed in Russia), and the colony of Medes moved by the Israelite Scythians to the Tanaïs, which later became known as Sarmatians, and later than that also known as Slavs, these things already discussed above, the other Japhethite tribes moved all along the Mediterranean coasts and into Europe, but were not known as Slavs.
Say a Japhethite woman married an Israelite man, and they had a female child, which I would think was very common. According to what Bill is saying, that girl would be an Israelite through her father. However, what if that girl went on to marry a Japhethite man and had children with him? Would their children be Israelite, or would they revert back to Japhethite identity through the father?
God is no respecter of persons i.e. of White people.

Their children would be Japhetite according to the Law. That's why an Israelite woman should only marry an Israelite.

Yahweh is no respecter of the status of persons. But a racial identity, which is divinely ordained, has nothing to do with a social status, which is ordained by a society/world of mortals.

Bahr, could you cite the Scripture on that one? Thanks.
Do you mean that God never ordains or appoints the status/stature of a White man? And that doesn't necessarily mean a high and mighty status in society as the head and tail can go either way.
