The True Meaning of "The Curse of Canaan"

Noah declared that Canaan would be "a servant of servants"; in other versions of the Bible this is translated: "The lowest of slaves".  

  • The word "slave" used for Canaan is the Hebrew term "Ehbed" which expresses a servant or slave who has been freed by his owner, but chooses to stay and continue to serve out of love and devotion."

  • "Servant of servants" is translated as "Ehbed of ehbed" which means "one who is spiritually enslaved to an idol".


This implies that the consequences of Canaan's transgression will be such that he'll remain in a state of spiritual slavery which will compel him to serve other "deities" not by love or choice, but rather by imposition and obligation, making him lower than the "deities" he serves.

In Genesis 9:26, it is written "And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be their servant." It's important to discern that the adjective “their” does not necessarily refer to Shem and Japheth, but it may well implicate those deities who do not serve ELOHIM, namely the devil and demons, thus expressing the fact that Canaan will be the servant of these evil entities.


According to the historical account, the ancient Greek world was made up of city-states that encompassed the whole of present-day Greece and southern Italy, as well as the entire Mediterranean and Black Sea coastline, including the coastal regions of Spain, France, Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine, etc. In its prime, the Ancient Persian Empire was the most powerful in the world. At its height, the ancient Persian Empire comprised the regions of Iran, Egypt, Turkey and parts of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan.


Yet, the Bible declares that the Goat presides over Greece, and historically the Goat has always symbolized the devil.

  • Daniel 8:21 "The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.

The Bible also declares that malevolent, diabolical entities rule the Western powers, namely Persia and Greece. 

  • Daniel 10:20 "Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come."

Interestingly, some occulted texts seem to reveal that dominion has been bestowed upon the nations of the Western world so that they would be submissive to and serve the devil, and this is on account of their proclivity to disobey divine laws and submit to demonic precepts that defy God's principles.

  • And יהוה said unto Adam: "O Adam, what seekest thou on the western border? And why hast thou left of thine own accord the eastern border, in which was thy dwelling-place? "Now, then, turn back to thy cave, and remain in it, that Satan do not deceive thee, nor work his purpose upon thee. "For in this western border, O Adam, there will go from thee a seed, that shall replenish it; and that will defile themselves with their sins, and with their yielding to the behests of Satan, and by following his works." |The conflict of Adam and Eve, Chapter 1-53|

  • And He said: “This is the human world, this is Adam, and this is their desire upon the earth, this is Eve; but he who is between them representeth ungodliness, their beginning (on the way) to perdition, even Azazel.” ... And He said to me: “They who will (to do) evil—and how much I hated (it) in those who do it!—over them I gave him power, and to be beloved of them.” |The Apocalypse of Abraham, Chap 23:6-8|

Far from being a blessing, domination is actually a curse, because it produces a prideful heart and a sense of superiority over all things, including God. Pride is so detested by the Lord that Paul was prevented from committing it by receiving “a thorn in the flesh” so that he would remain humble.

  • 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 "So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I begged the Lord for this, that it might depart from me.


Far from being blessings, the spirit of domination and pride are in fact curses, for God subjects “the one who dominates” to the calamities that result from his own folly and evil inclinations, thereby allowing his own rebellion to naturally follow the path that leads to the destruction of the soul.

  • Psalms 81:12 “So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.”


Consequently, the curse of Canaan does not concern the enslavement of the black race, but rather the spiritual servitude imposed upon Canaan's descendants, to serve other gods under pressure and coercion. In other words, Canaan and his descendants will not be inclined to serve the true Elohim.
