<ΑΩ>No, I am absolutely serious about this.
To “enlarge Japheth” means to extend his territory and influence at the expense of others who are not descendants of Japheth.
Because we know that all power and resources are zero sum: social, cultural, economic, political and military. Genesis 9:27 and Isaiah 24:1, 3, 12.
Consequently, the redistribution of power is always to the advantage of one group at the expense of all others.
But you know exactly what I mean of course.<ΑΩ>

Wrong.

[פָּתָה S6601 TWOT1853 GK7331, 7332] vb. be spacious, wide, open (Aramaic פְּתָא be spacious, ܦܬܳܐ (pto) be spacious, abundant; cf. Arabic فَتُوَ, فَتِىَ (fatuwa, fatiya), be youthful, in prime of life, فَتًى (fatan) young man, one in prime of life (development of various meanings from √ not wholly clear, cf. Nö xi (1886). 735));—Qal Pt. פֹּתֶה Pr 20:19 poss. one open as to lips, but v. פָּתָה denom. infr. Hiph. Impf. 3 ms. juss. יַפְתְּ א׳ לְיֶפֶת Gn 9:27 may God make wide for Japhet (give him an extensive inheritance).—Pf. poss.

Nothing you have said can serve to invalidate this argument.

Unless of course, you are trying to contest the “zero sum” doctrine in geopolitics.

:) Hmm...so if you were to die today.. then go to the Father.. what COLOR do you think you will be? Your spirit is? I can lol just see the Father.. hand slap right to the forehead.. really? This is where they get stuck
The fact that there is no colour difference in heaven doesn’t change the fact that God created the different colours on the earth (Acts 17:26), and such a difference is meaningful.

However:
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

Note the bolded.

But now, these verses:

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

What God split asunder in the Old Testament, He joins in the New Testament to be a kingdom of His special possession drawn out of all earthly nations.

.
You have no argument to refute, just your unsupported opinion probably provided to you by a "teacher" in the religious group you associate with. I quoted the definition of Japeth from the world renowned Bauer, Danker, Arndt, Gingrich Hebrew lexicon
If you think "zero sum" is relevant here provide you evidence.

And the meaning is?
