Blyden declared that because God had so faithfully fulfilled Noah's prediction of enlargement to Japheth, the realization of the later promise to Ham (in Psalm 68) was inevitable as well."

In 1884, Bishop James Theodore Holly evolved a similar theological interpretation of Genesis 9 in which he posited separate ages of humanity corresponding to Noah's three sons. In "The Divine Plan of Human Redemption, In Its Ethnological Development," Holly used Genesis 9-11 to forge a dispensational schema in which the children of Ham complete the work of salvation previously assigned to Shem and Japheth:

In the development of the Divine Plan of Human Redemption the Semitic race had the formulating, the committing to writing and the primal guardianship of the Holy Scriptures during the Hebrew dispensation. The Japhetic race had the task committed to them of translating, publishing and promulgating broadcast the same Holy Scriptures.... But neither the one nor the other of those two races have entered into or carried out the spirit of those Scriptures. This crowning work of the will of God is reserved for the millennial phase of Christianity, when Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands directly unto God.... [Both Semitic and Japhetic races] alike await the forthcoming ministry of the Hamitic race to reduce to practical ACTION that spoken word, that written thought."
