Genesis 9:27

God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Japheth, in Hebrew, means open. It is interesting that his descendants opened more unknown realms. Meanwhile, God truly enlarged the offspring of Japheth. For example, his descendants found new lands and navigated all around the earth. They walked into virtually every corner of the earth. Indeed, they were enlarged by God and used by God to connect peoples of different regions together, even though there were vast oceans separating them. Based on history, you know who they were.

Moreover, they created modern science and opened a new world to humanity. With their openness, humanity could develop continually. Our advancement and scientific standard of living are the result of their works — such as the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration. Without Japheth, humanity could not have entered the industrial age, and the earth likewise could not have fed so many people.

They have another notable feature: they dwell in the tents of Shem. As a matter of fact, almost all of the descendants of Japheth believe in God and are Christian. If you are even a little familiar with history, you know who they are.

Furthermore, Canaan shall be his servant. This prophecy came true and was executed thoroughly by the offspring of Japheth. In other words, they carried out the judgment of Noah.

Whatever happens in human history is not an accident or a random event. It develops according to certain prior prophecies from the servants of God Elohim.
