Madai (Genesis 10:2) is identifiable with the Medes, which is evident simply by checking both terms in Strong’s Concordance. The Greeks wrote “Mede” as Μῆδος, the ‘η’ in English being [rendered by] either an ‘a’, or an ‘ê’ or ‘e’. Herodotus wrote that “These Medes were anciently called by all people Arians” (7.62), although it is more likely that the term “Aryan” was rather used by Israelites who once sojourned in Media (with which Dr. George Moore agrees in his The Lost Tribes and the Saxons of the East and the Saxons of the West…), since the term Ar-ya appears to mean “Mountain of Yahweh” in Hebrew (something which the Israelites were often called, i.e. Daniel 2:45), and that the Greeks had Israelite tribes in Media confused with actual Medes. [There is an assumption that the word Aryan comes from a Sanskrit word for noble, however I would assert that the Sanskrit followed much later.] Regardless, the Medes fulfilling a destiny in history which the prophets had already assigned to Madai (i.e. Isaiah chapter 21; Jeremiah 25:25 and 51:11 and 28; Daniel chapter 8), there should be no doubt of this identification. - See more at: http://christogenea.org/essays/race-gen ... 6zghv.dpuf
