Genesis 18, 18: "Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all nations of the earth shall be blessed in him."
The First Epistle of John 3, 11 to 15: "For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abideth in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."

For instance, beginning with Cain, the first murderer, every fifth man in his line of descent is a murderer. Thus there come Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, Methusalem, and the fifth is Lamech, the second murderer, and he is Noah's father.

Billy Graham claims that we shall even be saved by the covenant of Noah. This could mean that even the least of the nations that are in the eyes of the world not even human shall also be saved. These could be gypsies, homosexuals, and maybe even the ones which the spiritual guide of Hagee has supposedly told him are the antichrists, the ideology of Hagee is to associating them with what he calls with the mysterious term "half Jews" whatever that may means but now it seems that even these men shall be saved.
