Joktan was said to be the father of the Arabs

The name Joktan means “little” or “insignificant”. It is believed that Joktan is referred to as Qahtan in Arab tradition- wherein he was the progenitor of the Arab nation.

And unto Joktan were thirteen sons, namely, Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havillah, and Jobab (Genesis 10:26-29 KJV).

Supposing that Joktan and Peleg are not twins, the Biblical Timeline charts Joktan’s birth sometime after Peleg’s, which was 2247BC.

  1. This is really great and amazing. I was once a Muslim from the nation of Nigeria but now Christian, who practically encountered the Lord on the wall in a circular unexplainably bright shinning light. Since then, I’ve been teaching and trying to bring the church and the youths even on campuses to the knowledge of Jesus in the light of Al-qur’an as well bring to the memory of churches their errors and negative mindset about the Muslims, making them realize the fact that Heaven is waiting for us, Christians, to arise and shine His light on us to the dark lives and environments of any unbeliever(s) around us, mostly, the Muslims. However, I’ve been restudying and retracing the genealogical lines of men that lived before and after Noah, and have been discovering lots of Biblical historical truths on whom some of them married, where they married from. However, I’ll like to know more of your ministry and see how God could help me with lots of basic facts in equipping the saints in Nigeria churches and youths.

    1. Brother, do James 1:5 first (ask for wisdom) and Jeremiah 33:3 (prayer exclusively for wisdom) then ask the Holy Spirit in the name of the Lord Christ to teach you all things (John 14:25) and guide you to all truth (John 16:13). Knowledge and wisdom learned outside the Holy Spirit’s teaching amounts to not-from-God. Its ‘intellectualized’ knowledge hence wisdom that comes along through it is has none of God’s fingerprints.

    2. Please do not refer to your self as UNWORTHY!
      1. Once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are WORTHY and DESERVING of all of the Prosperity He has for YOU!
      2. Prosperity is the Abundant Flow of Positive Energy that is flowing through you, to produce, to feel, and to experience good in these areas: Great health, wealth, love, and great self-expression. Nothing missing, nothing broken, everything whole and complete.
      Prosperity is a fluid and voluptuous swirl of positive energy. You gain strength, fulfillment, and prosperity when the Divine Energy flows daily through you!
      3. God said in Jeremiah…I have a good plan for your life that will bring you Prosperity!
      However, You must be open and receptive to listen, obey, and trust God!
