The most future-focused 3 verses in the Torah

[robocop (actually)]

According to Samson Raphael Hirsch, these 3 verses in the Torah would be the most enduring to the future:

Genesis 9:25-27

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

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

What do you think about them? They might have to do with behavior before and on the ark.

I am not a racist, but racism seems to still exist.

From the Hirsch Chumash on Gen 9:25 translated by Judaica Press:

Since these verses repeatedly state that Canaan will be a slave, the implication is that there is a close connection between Canaan's character and the fate of a slave. Indeed Canaan is cursed by his very nature; for the future is reserved only for those who are pure of heart, not for those who are coarse and uncivilized. The same applies in social and national life, in relationships between people and between nations. Only those who can control themselves can gain and retain their freedom. Unrestrained desire leads to slavery. He who at all times controls his passions will not be led astray by bribes or enticements. He is not captivated by money, and his hands are not bound in gold chains. He may be destroyed and die, but he will never become a slave. This applies to individuals as well as nations.

How is it related to the future, please?
There is no mention of "future" in the verses. Right?

The Rabbi who was writing a commentary on the Pentateuch/Torah said that it was.

My guess is because the relationship between the 3 races - White, Asian, Black maybe, seems to continue on from that verse. Or does it?
