Radio
program given during Black history month of 2004 – “Blacks and the Bible”:
As
I said before there is a deception in this evil and
adulterous world and its about to be revealed in the
fulfillment of prophecy - Sooner than we may have believed. Today, let me
enlighten you on the Holy Scriptures and the people God chose as His own.
Black
history month (at least here in the USA): Refers to
Blacks in America being brought into this land; and oppressed by force slavery,
and referred to as non-persons or sub-humans. Their treatment in this insane,
brutal inhumane society of forced slavery that the whites in power (the
government of these United States) inflicted on Blacks, and the terror of the
riots and the violence and torture of the Klan following the Civil war, the
humiliation of the Jim Crow years; the ongoing stealing of our ideas,
recordings and patents not to mention the stealing of our identity, and
claiming it for themselves proving how this country would not and could not
exist without these same downtrodden Black people. This according to Scripture
is our punishment because of our ancestors’ disobedience to our Lord God under
the old covenant (Deut. 28:15-68). Yet, God says He will not completely forsake
His people of Judah and Israel also called in prophecy as the house of Jacob or
Israel. He will redeem them and save them from those who are their oppressors
(See Isaiah 11:10-13 listed below and Isaiah 54:4-10 which you
may read on your on time).
Isaiah 11:10-13…
”’And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who
shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His
resting place shall be glorious. It shall come to pass in that day that the
Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His
people who are left, From Assyria and Egypt, From Pathros
and Cush, From Elam and Shinar, From Hamath and the
islands of the sea. He will set up a banner for the nations, And
will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed
of Judah from the four corners of the earth’”.
Pay particular notice to Deut 28:15,20,28-29,32-33,37,44,46,48-50,64-68 for the punishment of these people before God set His a second time to
recover the remnant of the house of Israel (the first being their recovery out
of Egypt) remaining before and after the Great Tribulation spoken of in the
book of Revelation (of which I will speak more on at a later time).
I
have read varies books proclaiming that blacks are in the
Bible or there is a black presence in the Bible. Even the black Heritage Bible
claims only a presence of Blacks in the Bible. However, it is my belief and conclusion that these books all
explored the subject as Blacks in the Bible from the belief and perspective
that blacks were not a primary people in the Bible; but secondary having only a
presence. But, this is the wrong perspective and premise.
Now, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear when one closely examines the
Scriptures (as I said before Scripture interprets itself); they will find that
Blacks are not only in the Bible they are primary in the Bible. They are the
dominating peoples in the Bible. And I can prove this from the Bible without
any other books (not until the Greeks kingdom followed by the Romans who have
and will continue to rule today until that Great Rock our Savior, Jesus the
Christ comes and breaks it into pieces (Dan.
2:31-45 and Dan. 7:15-28) - these are peoples who are called by the Bible
as Gentiles - see Genesis 10:2-5).
The primary subject of the Bible is about the chosen people of God, from the
son of Adam called Abel to Abram whom God gave the name Abraham who received
the Promise to his son Isaac, the son of the Promise; and his son Jacob renamed
Israel by God because he prevailed against man and God; and his twelve sons who
make up the house of Israel (including both nations of Judah and Israel) who
were all black, and those who are being saved (the spiritual nation of Israel
which includes all people including whites and others).
Now, speaking first on the identity of those
who are now white or non-black, we go to Genesis 10:
Genesis
10:2-5...
“2
The sons of
Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal,
Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their
lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families,
into their nations.”
The word "Japheth"
means, "opened" (I'll speak
more about this at a later time); Japheth descendants are said to inhabit the coastlands and islands of Europe and
some parts of Asia. The word "Javan"
refers to the Greeks and is translated elsewhere in the Bible as so, such
as Daniel 8:21; 10:20; and 11:12 where the word is translated in old
King James version in its Greek form “Grecia”. Also
again, in Ezekiel 27:13 and 19, where this same word is left in the
Hebrew form “Javan” both in the old and new King James versions of the
Bible. Is not this strange? Yet, it is not when view in light of racism / white
supremacy, and the deception of the oppressor in concealing the identity of the
peoples spoken of in the Bible. (Scriptures proves that the Greeks, Romans and
other Caucasian nations were referred to as Gentiles).
Next,
we will explore the word "Ethiopia or Ethiopian" (the
word Ethiopia is Greek meaning “burnt
faced” or "dark faced"). Have you ever wondered why the Old
Testament which was written in the Hebrew and Aramaic the translators’ uses Greek
words to describe some Hebrew words rather than translating them into the
English? Or, why some of the words are not translated in either the English or
Greek but left in the Hebrew? There is a reason for this, as I said before I
say again, because there is a great deception (a lie) on this planet to conceal
the identity of a people even to this day. Most today refuses to believe or
accept factual truths concerning this deception, for it firmly ingrained in the
minds of the peoples.
Now, going to the Hebrew word that the Greek
word Ethiopia or Ethiopian is translated from which is the Hebrew word "Cush or Kush" and "Cushite or Kushite" each
word refers to dark skinned "black"
people. Now, if you were a translator, translating a word into the English
would you not use a word from your own language to describe a people referred
to in the Bible? There is one reason the translators did not use the word the
English used for Ethiopians and that is the slave trade (when the King James
version of the Bible was translated in 1611 AD the slave trade was in full
swing). The English at the time called Ethiopians, Negroes (a Spanish word
meaning black); they borrowed the word in the 16th century to refer to the
kidnapped Ethiopians and Hebrews they captured and sold into slavery, so as not
to have to call them Ethiopians or Nubians (another term that Christians at
that time called blacks). Had the translators used the same term they used to
refer to the blacks they kidnapped everywhere in the Bible. Where we see Ethiopia
or Kush you would see "Negro or Negroes". If that had happen I would not have to convince my own people that they
are spoken of more often than any other peoples in the Bible.
Looking at the Scripture alone, by itself it proves that
the Hebrews and other major people spoken of in the Bible were and are black
nations and peoples (the Greeks and Romans were white with a few exceptions).
Now I know many Christians cherish their King James Bible but I only reference
it because it is the first Bible translated during the slave trade and it as
well as others translations afterwards uses these words concealing the identity
of the peoples in the Bible, especially those who are Negroes or African
Americans in the Bible, from those who were slaves and the non-slaves at that
time, and us today. Ancient Ethiopia in the Bible refers to all the land from
Egypt to tip of Africa today (not just the small country of today referred to
as Ethiopia).
Let me walk you through just a few Scriptures
which gives us factual proof and truth that the Israelites and many of the
major nations and peoples of the Bible were and is Black people:
Let
us go to Moses wife the Ethiopian: In Numbers 12:
Numbers 12:1-2…
Dissension of Aaron and Miriam
Miriam and Aaron Speak Against Moses
1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 So
they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not
spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.
Here Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses
because they felt he was not truly chosen by God to be the only one to
represent God’s people. For they had reasoned that because Moses had married
outside of the Hebrew nation (an ethnic group difference not their color - for
they were all black), he was not acting like a true Israelite, especially in
light of Moses earlier assigning of judging the people to elders and leaders
among the people which were suggested by his Ethiopian (or Negro) father
in-law, the priest of Midian (see Exodus chapters 17 and 18). If the
word for Cushite or Ethiopian had been translated into our English word used at
the time to describe this woman in verse 1, it would have read something
like this, "Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the
Negro woman whom he had married; for he had married a Negro woman".
Some (especially early white writers and some to today still hold this belief)
thinking Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because his wife was black,
presuming Moses was not black. However, the Scripture proves Moses was black as
was his Midianite wife (the Cushite or Ethiopian).
Now since we see here that Moses wife were
black (Negro) or Cushite so-called Ethiopian - this proves that the Midianites
whom Moses stayed with for 40 years receiving training in the way of the Lord
from Jethro his father-in-law who were black also - seeing that this Zipporah was
Jethro daughter, see Exodus chapters 2, 4, 17, and 18.
Midianites
in Numbers 12:1-2 were a black (Ethiopian) people: The
Scriptures proving this are: Genesis
25:1-2, 4; 1 Chron 1:32-33. These Scriptures show they are the descendants
of Abraham and his second wife Keturah whom Abraham married after Sarah's
death. (There are some so-called scholars of the past who would claim this was
a second wife (only reason they suggest this because she is said to be an
Ethiopian). This is plain racism from our white brothers and sisters who refuse
to believe (under the deception are those who wish to deceive) that blacks were
and are the primary peoples spoken of in the Bible. To disprove this notion one
only have to look at the time to Numbers
12:1; in Exodus 18:1-6, 27 it
says Moses father-in-law brought Moses’ wife and children to him and after
making sacrifices to God, he left Moses departing alone leaving Moses’ wife and
children with Moses; in Exodus 19:1 we
see this was in the third month after coming out of Egypt; in Num 9:1 the children of Israel were in
the second year and first month after leaving Egypt, in Num 10:11 the time
is the second year, second month and twentieth day (time here is reckoned from
the day the Israelites were led out of Egypt), in Num 10:13 the
children of Israel sets out for the first time after being camp at the
Wilderness of Sinai on the command of God,
in Num 10:29-33 Moses pleads
with his brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel Moses father-in-law to be their guide
in the wilderness and show them how to camp in tents; the time line to Num 12:1. Unless
Moses divorced his wife Zipporah between the time she came with her father the
third month and the second year and second month when Aaron heeded Miriam voice
and accused Moses of not being inspired by God always (they seek to disagreed
with Moses decisions, and to do this they had to first try and convince the
people that sometimes God spoke to them rather than Moses - bottom line Miriam
with Aaron help was trying to usurp Moses authority). There is no doubt Moses
wife is the same one he married in Midian. Proof positive that the Midianites
were Ethiopians.
Some verses where we see these Midianites
spoken of:
Acts
7
28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?' 29 Then,
at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons. 30 "And when forty years had passed,
an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the
wilderness of Mount Sinai.
Here in Habakkuk we see the “curtains
of the land of Midian” defined as “tents of Cushan”,
a Black people:
Habakkuk
3
6 He stood and measured the earth;
He looked and startled the nations. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, the
perpetual hills bowed. His ways are everlasting. 7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
the curtains of the land of Midian
trembled. 8 O LORD, were You displeased with the rivers, Was Your anger
against the rivers, Was Your wrath against the sea, That You rode on Your
horses, Your chariots of salvation?
Looking
at the name Egypt, where did the name "Egypt" come from? It
first appears in Genesis 12:10 where
Abram (Abraham) is said to have went there because of a famine in the land. The
ancient Egyptians and the vast majority of those claiming Egyptian ancestry
today are descendants of Ham (see Gen
10:6...The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan); notice the son name "Mizraim", this Mizraim
is the same as "Egypt". Why Mizraim
is called Egypt? Egypt is Greek meaning "Mizraim”
and used by the Greeks / Romans for Mizraim (Strong's
definition for both Mizraim and Egypt are the exact
same with no explanation for the different names of the same land); I can only
say that this coincidence gave chance for those who wish to deceive; their
chance to conceal the identity of the Egyptians. However, I have said before
the Bible interprets itself; And the Bible shows us in other verses that Egypt
and Mizraim are the same and the son of Ham (everyone
seems to agreed Ham was black so lets
see how this piece of information proves the Egyptians in the Bible are black
people):
Gen
10:13-14...Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim,
and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
Psalm
78
50 He made a path for His anger; He
did not spare their soul from death, But gave their
life over to the plague, 51 And destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, The
first of their strength in the tents of
Ham.
Psalm
105
23 Israel also came into Egypt, And
Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. 24 He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies. 25 He turned
their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with
His servants. 26 He sent Moses His
servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen. 27 They performed His signs among them, And wonders in the land of Ham... 38 Egypt was glad when
they departed,
Psalm
106
21 They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great
things in Egypt, 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by
the Red Sea.
Notice “firstborn in Egypt” is called
also the “tents of Ham” and “great things in Egypt” is defined as
“Wondrous works in the land of Ham” while speaking of the plagues of God on Egypt when
He freed the Hebrews in Exodus.
Genesis
50
10 Then they came to the threshing
floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they
mourned there with a great and very solemn lamentation. He observed seven days
of mourning for his father. 11 And
when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the
threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning of the
Egyptians." Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim
[Literally Mourning of Egypt],
which is beyond the Jordan.
As you can see from these Scriptures
I have listed that the Hebrew word “Mizraim”
has the same meaning as the Greek word “Egypt” in the Bible.
2-25-2003
Last
week I ended with proof from the Scriptures that the Ethiopians (whom
most see today as being black but somehow they think they are different from
the Negroes of the slave trade - which is understandable since the deceiver
called them Negroes a Spanish word meaning black); and I showed how the none
translation of the word referred to the peoples called Cush / Cushites with the English translations was because of the
slave trade and the prophecy of God. Moses' wife, the Midianites (Midianites in Numbers 12:1-2 were a black
people – because the Ethiopian people, Moses’ wife Zipporah is said to be
Ethiopian and God Himself speaking through the prophet in Habakkuk
3:7...says... I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
The curtains of the land of Midian
trembled.),... and the Egyptians (where it says in Psalm 106:21 They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, 22 Wondrous works in
the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea) are and were black peoples
of the Bible.
Now to show that the Hebrews - Israel - Jacob was black and the Israelites who came out of Egypt were black people:
Moses
adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter (Ex. 2:19): Fact the
ancient Egyptians were black people descendants of Ham (Gen 10:6) all the world seems to agreed Ham and descendants are
black; yet when it comes to the Egyptians people they
like to portray them as white. Have you ever asked yourself why? Again, I must
point out again there is a deception in this world and this is part of it.
After proving that the Egyptians were and are black, (something no true white
supremacists would ever admit) the very fact that an Egyptian adopted him gives
proof to his color (Ex. 2:6). Ask
yourself this question if Pharaoh the king gave orders to the Hebrew midwives
to kill all male children born, why would he allow his daughter to keep Moses
when all Egypt would realize he's Hebrew (yet they didn't because they were the
same color). Plus the Pharaoh and his daughter would
have been committing an abomination because Egyptians did not eat with Hebrews
because this was an abomination
(detestable or impure) (see Gen
43:32); every shepherd is an abomination (Gen 46:34). But Moses
lived as a Egyptian of which I will speak at a later
time.
Moses
in Midian at the well: For those who need more convincing of
Moses color; lets go to Exodus 2:19 where Moses is mistaken by the Midianites as an
Egyptian. Notice what's said here "An
Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds". You must ask
yourself, why did they mistake Moses for an Egyptian? Proof again that Moses
was black as were the Egyptians, and the reason the Midianites (the black
Ethiopians remember Miriam and Aaron called Moses' wife an Ethiopian) thought
he was Egyptian was because of his dress.
These false pictures in print and the media
of Moses and the Hebrews, today have people (and sadly to say, we too as people
– have or had believed this lie and some still wish to believe this lie); that
is that no blacks are in the Bible except that Ethiopian leaving Jerusalem
after our Lord was crucified. They even refer to Harriet Tubman as a black
Moses as if Moses was white and not black.
Miriam become
leprous: In Numbers
12:10... “And when the cloud
departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as
snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.”
Notice what's said here "as white as snow". Miriam was turned white, meaning she
was not white before this instance. This gives proof to the Hebrews being
black. For more proof see:
Joseph
in Egypt: (Genesis 42:6-8, 45:1-5) Joseph's brothers
came down to Egypt to buy grain because there was a famine in all the lands
except Egypt; yet they did not recognize Joseph believing him to be an Egyptian
(again showing the ancient Hebrews was black).
Genesis
42
6 Now Joseph was governor over the
land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's
brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. 7 Joseph
saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them
and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the
land of Canaan to buy food." 8 So
Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Genesis 45
Joseph Revealed to His Brothers
1 Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and
he cried out, "Make everyone go out from me!" So
no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he
wept aloud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it. 3 Then Joseph
said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But
his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. 4
And Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come near to me." So they came near. Then he said: "I am Joseph your
brother, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or
angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to
preserve life.
We have the Ethiopians, Egyptians, Midianites (Moses wife and priest who raised Moses up in God's law; Hebrews (Joseph and Moses) all were
black and there are many more nations which came out of Ham and Shem (Noah two sons who
remained in Africa who were black people.
Paul
was black also (the person who wrote the vast majority of the books of the New
Testament and received many revelations from God, Jesus the Christ).
After learning the Egyptians were black, we see in Acts.
Notice Acts
21:26-40...take note of verses 37-39..."Are you not the Egyptian..."
Paul also describes himself in Philippians 3:5...of the stock of Israel, of the
tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; ---
this gives proof that the tribe of
Benjamin were black as I have already shown that the whole nation of Israel were black people (mixed with the
descendants of Ham):
Acts
21
Paul
Arrested in the Temple
”…26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified
with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of
purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them. 27 Now when the seven days were almost
ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd
and laid hands on him, 28 crying
out, "Men of Israel, help! This
is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this
place; and furthermore he also brought
Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place." 29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they
supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 30 And all the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the
temple; and immediately the doors were shut. 31 Now as they were seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all
Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 He immediately
took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the
commander and the soldiers, they stopped
beating Paul. 33 Then the commander
came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and
he asked who he was and what he had done. 34 And some among the multitude cried
one thing and some another. So when he could not
ascertain the truth because of the tumult, he commanded him to be taken into
the barracks. 35 When he reached the
stairs, he had to be carried by the
soldiers because of the violence of the mob. 36 For the multitude of the
people followed after, crying out, "Away
with him!"
Addressing
the Jerusalem Mob
37 Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the
commander, "May I speak to
you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek? 38 Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a rebellion and
led the four thousand assassins out into the wilderness?" 39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew from Tarsus, in
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak
to the people." 40 So when he
had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand
to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying…”
Here it clearly revealed that this Roman
commander believe Paul was an Egyptian and not a Jew. Now, if the Egyptians are
Black then it makes as a fact that Paul was Black also. As I said before, and I
say again that you do not need books and other so-called historical data to
know the factual truth that the people of the Bible were overwhelming black.
And not until the time of Alexandria the great and the Romans appear on the
scene did whites began to be mention in the Bible (Daniel 8:21 and Daniel
10:20).
Now
do you see why those who claims superiority over blacks wishes
to conceal the fact that blacks dominate the Holy Scriptures; and when whites
do come on the scene in the Scriptures they are used by God to chastise the
black Hebrews and other black nations such as the Egyptians and Ethiopians
(so-called "Negroes" today in America). In II Kings 5:27, we see Gehazi’s greed causing the prophet Elisha to place a curse of whiteness (leprous) on him and
his descendants forever. White supremacists realize if Egypt is proven to
be a black nation then all white supremacy and black inferior deceptions are
out the window.
II
Kings 5:
Gehazi's Greed
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God,
said, "Look, my master has spared
Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as
the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."… 22 And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying,
"Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to
me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two
changes of garments."…25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you go,
Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere." 26 Then he said to him, "Did not
my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive
clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female
servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of
Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever." And he went
out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.
White
supremacists realize if Egypt is proven to be a black nation
then all white supremacy and black inferior deceptions are out the window. When
the slave trade began, the whole world knew the Bible were written by and about
black people; who brought Christianity to Europe see Acts (Corinthians,
Ephesians, Spain, Romans, and the Greeks).
The
myth in Christianity that European missionaries brought Christianity to Africa is
another deception of the white supremacy movement. For when we go to the
Scriptures, we see the Ethiopian
treasurer baptized by Phillip the Evangelist. Now in Acts 8:27-39 the treasurer for Candace, the Queen of the
Ethiopians. The Ethiopian (the word Ethiopia is Greek meaning “burnt face”)
church is the oldest church in Jerusalem built in 335 AD. These Ethiopians in
Israel today claim lands given to them by King Solomon through the Queen of
Sheba (I Kings 10, Matt. 12:42, Luke
11:31). These Ethiopians were practicing God’s law as far back as Cush
(Ethiopia), the son of Ham in Genesis. Ethiopians always came down to Jerusalem
to worship.
Acts
8
27 So he arose and went. And behold,
a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great
authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all
her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem
to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then
the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near
and overtake this chariot." 30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him
reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do
you understand what you are reading?" 31 And he said, "How
can I, unless someone guides me?" And he asked Philip to come up and
sit with him. 32 The place in the
Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 33 In
His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will
declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth." 34 So the eunuch answered Philip and
said, "I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some
other man?" 35 Then Philip
opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they
came to some water. And the eunuch said, "See,
here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?" 37 Then Philip
said, "If you believe with all your
heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." 38 So he commanded the chariot to stand
still. And both Philip and the eunuch
went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out
of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw
him no more; and he went on his way
rejoicing.
The Cushite (Ethiopian) minister of treasury
for the Queen of the Cushites (Ethiopians) had always visited Jerusalem for the annual
feast days of Israel.
There
are some try to use Psalm 68:31 to prove Ethiopians (Black people) have not
worship and will soon seek Him.
Psalm 68 (NKJV)
30 Rebuke the beasts of the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Till
everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples who delight in war. 31 Envoys will come out of
Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God. 32 Sing
to God, you kingdoms of the earth; Oh, sing praises to
the Lord, Selah
68:31(KJV)
Princes shall come out
(8799) of Egypt;
Ethiopia shall soon stretch
out (8686) her hands unto God.
After
reading Psalm 68:31 in the KJV, the
phrase "shall soon stretch
out" gives the impression that the Ethiopians were not already seeking
God; at least those who seek to deceive would have you to believe this.
However, the phrase translated as "shall soon stretch out" was
corrected in the NKJV to more
closely reflect the meaning of the Hebrew word "uwr" sounds like "roots" which means according
to Strong's number 8686 "speedily,
run, hurriedly, or running"; causing the phrase to be "hurriedly stretch" or
"quickly stretch". Note the word "soon" as in time is no where
to be found; not even in the KJV
version list of words translated from the Hebrew word "uwr"
is the word "soon".

Notice
what God says about these Ethiopians:
Amos
9
6 He who builds His layers in the
sky, And has founded His strata in the earth; Who
calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the
earth--The LORD is His name. 7
"Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to Me, O children of
Israel?" says the LORD. "Did
I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, The Philistines from Caphtor, And the Syrians from Kir?
8 "Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, And I
will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet I will not utterly destroy the
house of Jacob," Says the LORD.
Zephaniah
3
9 "For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of he
LORD, To serve Him with one accord.10
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering. 11 In that day
you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds In which
you transgress against Me; For then I
will take away from your midst Those who rejoice in your pride, And you
shall no longer be haughty In My holy mountain.
Isaiah
60
6 The multitude of camels shall
cover your land, The
dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba shall come; They
shall bring gold and incense, And they shall proclaim the praises of the LORD.
Matthew
12
42 The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation
and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
Let
me point out here also that the verse about the Ethiopian skin is
where God uses this to show that evil people are always evil everyday.
Jeremiah
13
22 And if you say in your heart, "Why have these things come upon
me?" For the greatness of your iniquity Your skirts have been
uncovered, Your heels made bare. 23 Can the Ethiopian change
his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil. 24 "Therefore
I will scatter them like stubble That
passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
When
Christ came into this world as Man, He came to a
people oppressed by the then ruling Roman empire (Gentiles). In the beginning, Christianity was a religion of the down
trodden and outcasts of the world, the common people (a despised sect) -
until 335 AD when the ruling Roman empire (the oppressor of those who were
oppressed) declared Christianity to be the religion of the state (Christianity became a religion of the
oppressor). When Christianity became the religion of the oppressor (the state), the message to the poor and
oppressed became wait until you die for freedom and making real changes in your
life to be a Christian became a set of
state rules issued by the a upper class church hierarchy claiming ruler ship
over the people rather than shepherding and feeding the flock. Finally, the
outcasts (lower class - common people rebelled), and the church became churches of philosophy (Protestants giving way to
Methods, Lutherans, AME, etc) where you join a group of individuals teaching the laws of
men rather than the commandments of God.
All
nations and peoples oppress and despise black people everywhere: They
are in this evil world (wherever scattered by God) - the white Jews in Israel
refer to the many blacks ancient (there are many ancient black people in
Israel, West Bank, Gaza strip, etc. - in some areas they are the majority but
most blacks in Diaspora do not know this one truth) and modern (the so-called
Ethiopian Jews and a group of blacks from this country who move there more than
20 years ago calling themselves “Black Hebrews” and remain there to this day -
numbering over 2000) with derogatory names.
Joel
3:1-8
God Judges the Nations
Judgment on the Nations
1 "For behold, in those days and at that
time, When I bring back the captives of
Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down
to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage
Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. 3 They have cast lots for My people, Have given a boy as
payment for a harlot, And sold a
girl for wine, that they may drink. 4
"Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of
Philistia? Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head; 5 Because you have taken My silver and My gold, And
have carried into your temples My prized
possessions. 6 Also the people of
Judah and the people of Jerusalem You have sold to the Greeks, That you may remove
them far from their borders. 7 "Behold, I will raise them Out of the place to which you have sold them, And will return your retaliation upon your own head. 8 I will sell your sons and your
daughters Into the hand of the people of Judah, And
they will sell them to the Sabeans, To a
people far off; For the LORD has spoken." Footnotes 3:8 Literally Shebaites (compare Isaiah
60:6 and Ezekiel 27:22)
I
once heard a Caucasian say on one of those talk radio
stations that "black people may have been the most victimized in
America"; yet, in his unrealistic mind of
reasoning as to why he believed Japanese placed in internment camps and still
fighting in WWII were more patriotically than blacks. He concluded in his mind
just because Blacks were the most victimized and still fought for this country
did not make them more patriotic than the Japanese who only endure
victimization for a short time. Think about this man unrealistic thinking in
that not even when he concludes Blacks were most victimized - his natural
hatred for these people will not allow him to attribute anything positive to
this down trodden Black people. These same "most
victimized" and downtrodden Black people of this world who even had to
protest against his ancestors to fight for these United States were and are
more than patriotic when it comes to defending this country; which most logical
thinking people would conclude. Yet, the deceitfulness of sin have deceived this man to be blind to this very fact. Even
today, most of the descendants of those who denied my ancestors the right to
defend this country because they were black; prove their ancestors always used
unrealistic arguments in denying Blacks their right to humanity at that time
because they would think any black person who refused to fight for this country
today because he / she was black as crazy or absurdity. But,
they would hesitate to conclude that their ancestors were nor should they or
this country apologize for any past wrongs against these same "most victimized" Black
people. Is not this thinking irrational?
Even
though Satan our common enemy of both white and non-white peoples have
tried to destroy the people of God (those selected as the nation of Israel both
by physical and spiritual means).
First
white noted in the Scripture is in II Kings 5:27; where Gehazi is cursed
by leprosy causing him to become as white as snow (showing that he was not this
color prior to this event).
Japheth
in Genesis 9:26-27 and Genesis 10:2-5;
See
Deut 28, Gen 9, Gen 49,
Ezekiel
30
3 For the day is near, Even the day
of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. 4 The
sword shall come upon Egypt, And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain fall in Egypt, And they take away her wealth, And her
foundations are broken down. 5 "Ethiopia [Hebrew Cush as the word
‘Ethiopia’ is Greek], Libya [Hebrew Put as the word ‘Libya’ is Greek], Lydia
[Hebrew Lud as the word ‘Lydia’ is Greek], all the
mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall
with them by the sword."
Notice these words were originally written in
the Hebrew language and later translated into the Greek then the English. Yet,
they were left in the Greek form rather translating them to the English. Do you
not think this strange? Think about what I am saying here. Because there is a
reason for the translators not to translate them into the English, the words
would then reflect the identity of the peoples spoken of here. They are all
sons of Ham (See Genesis 10:5-20). And the sons of Japheth are spoken of
as, these are “the coastland peoples of the ‘Gentiles’”…(See
Genesis 10:1-5); of which Javan was one of his sons who is also known as
Greece. I will speak more on this later, but thought you would enjoy some Bible
history for Black history which is one and the same. May God bless you and your
household and be with you until we meet again. Amen. Praise God.
