ConcernedRusian:
WRONG. The Bible originates from Judaism, which originates from the Semitic religions of the semitic people. (e.g. Aramaeans, Hebrews, Arabs, Assyrians, etc.) Semitic people themselves coming from ancient Afro-Asiatic peoples from whom Oromo and Somali and Ancient Egyptian also arose. Nigerians, and the overwhelming majority of Africans are not semitic people, ethnically culturally or linguistically.

The only people in Nigeria outside Arab tribes who could genuinely claim some sort of ancient semitic connection are Hausas because their ancestors are actually people who came from Eurasia into Africa, and their language is a distant relative of Arabic, Somali, Egyptian and Berber ,and even then it's only a whisper.

''Moses forewarned the Children of Israel of the curses that would befall them if they did not follow the commandments of The Most High. In Deuteronomy 28:15 it says this:

‘And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt not harken (listen) unto the voice of [Yahweh] to observe to do all his commandments and his statues which I command thee this day that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.’

The particular curses that would befall the Children of Israel for not keeping the commandments of Yahweh is that they would suffer slavery similar to the type of slavery they suffered in Egypt and that they would be transported into this new slavery on ships and that the places where we would be transported they would be sold as slaves to their enemies. In Deuteronomy 28:68 it says this:

‘And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt (slavery) again (a second time) with ships (Cargo Slave Ships), by the way whereof I spake unto thee, thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen (slave men) and bondwomen, (slave women) and no man shall buy you’.

This is the missing link between the Hebrew Israelites and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. It explains how the Israelites fled into the interiors of Africa as refugees after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D. They were rounded up on the African continent and shipped all over the western hemisphere to be sold as slaves. This is the history that has been omitted from the pages of history.''


THUS, the answer to your question of 'Where are the Jews today?'' is: The regions where the trans-atlantic slave trade was most active - the West African forest regions.

Rosskii:


Not just the Igbos. The Efiks, Bini, Yorubas, and other Nigerians are descended from ancient Jews, Canaanites, Nubians and Egyptians.

BabaRamota1980:


A law is an operative, ...a switch with two states! Every law has its taboos and when violated, carry punishment. So there is nothing unique in the Mosaic law you quoted to give attributes for human geo-cultural re-distribution and re-settlement around the world.

Before that law and before Moses, laws were passed that warned men of severe outcomes for their disobedience.

Also, in human experience, Children of Israel were not the first people to be enslaved.

devindevin2000:


Typical afonja, any mention of Igbos in goodnight of history, he goes mad like he wants to die, he thinks it's competition and he starts naming other tribes to rally them against Igbos; typical afonja divisive mindset. If you have sense, simple sense, you know that Ibibio and Efik, are a derivative of Igbos...out of Igbo they came to being, that's why we all look alike and share same DNA. Ibibio means " a part or branch of Igbo", I know you did't know this, afonja? You cannot tell the difference between Ibibio and Igbo mere looking at them, but you can tell by a mile the difference between Yorubas or Binis and Ibibio. So stop lumping Efiks, Ibibio with your people...they have nothing in common with you people, and stop dividing us. Wicked things!

Rosskii:


You are assuming the Council of Nicaea had a race-based agenda. Why? Colour-based racism is a relatively new phenomenon in human history, specifically traced to the 17th century in Europe - a mere 300 years ago!! Racism was a system of beliefs developed by the European elite during the trans-atlantic slave trade to justify the inhuman nature of the trade to a moralistic European christian society. Prior to that era, colour-based racism was virtually non-existent.

So the council may have had its agenda, but it didn't seem to include racial distortion of facts. That only came with 17th century Europe, who used whitened artworks to force a change in public perception regarding the identity of the Israelites.

Etogist:
I'm enjoying this. I wish I can have this kind of knowledge.
Is Jesus white or black? And is his name really Jesus?

Sapiosexuality:
No. The moors were into colour based racism before that time. The black Africans that ruled Spain at the time had slaves and this was over before the common era. So, racism has been in a existence.

The races had issues and couldn't get along based on skin colour. Their were signposts and jealousy and envy towards other races. The black Egyptians were envied by the white Greece for their knowledge.

So, racism has always existed. The only difference is that their was no government backed racism. It was not institutionalized. That's just the difference. Racism has been experiencing an evolution too.

From the mild disgust between different races to the keeping of slaves by crackers and the final institutionalization by the systems of governance. So, the council of nicea must have operated with that mild derision for other races and making blacks the subject of worship is highly unlikely.

Hati13:
The Old Testament mostly talks about Ethiopians or Cushites. The Biblical and ancient texts Ethiopians were Nubians and some of the present day Ethiopians.

Well done Brother! The Children of Yisrael are finally waking up to their true identity.

Go to the Zondervan Bible Dictionary and look up the word - Ham

''Ham: The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of eight persons to live through the Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; not the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.''

Is it safe to conclude that the Black Jews who fled that area to come South to Africa south of the Sahara desert were the Jewry that preceded Rabbinical Judaism? I believe there are two or more periods of what we rethink of as the Jewish religion.

Rosskii:


The Old Testament talks primarily about the Israelites who were blacks just like the Ethiopians, Kushites, Egyptians and Canaanites.

"Are ye not as the children of Ethiopia unto me, oh children of Israel?" Amos 9:7

Obi1kenobi:

Inferiority complex has done serious damage to black people. How people can feel no shame appropriating the history and culture of alien groups is beyond me.

isalegan2:


I wouldn't be so quick to discount every bit of it. I used to believe there was zero connection between West Africans and Middle Easterners but looking at the Jewish exodus and the history of Oduduwa in Yorubaland, plus too many other historical "coincidences," I feel we can only benefit from more studies about the topic. Have you not seen in the last month how quickly an entire people can be displaced due to climate or war? Look at the result of the storms in Puerto Rico and the other island that was 99% destroyed. What of the migration of an entire people like the Rohingas in Asia?

Knowledge is power.

Don't bother with obi1kenobi. His job on this forum is to attack all African history that is not based on western stereotypes of Tarzan, primitive savagery etc. He will never accept anything written on this thread. Of that you can be certain. So don't waste your time or energy on him.

Obi1kenobi:


No. My job is simply to hold everyone to what is true and provable. Every culture has been primitive and savage before. The Nordic and Germanic nations were once the backwaters of European civilization, while Southern Europeans along the Mediterranean were at the forefront of the advancement of European civilization. Today, those Nordic/Germanic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc) are the envy of European civilization and Southern Europe is a mess. Those backward countries learnt from the more cultured Southern territories. The Vikings for example were basically civilized by the same people they conquered. They are not insecure people who go around claiming their ancestors were Romans or Greeks or Jews or Ottomans etc.

Be proud of your heritage and stop promoting a fraud. I see you keep posting those your Assyrian pictures that apparently portray black hair even though I once debunked it and showed Assyrian relief art often portrayed human and animal hair like that.

Sorry OP, but we cant do much with this write up. The ... Area is on fire and we need to address that

You are a paid liar and a criminal. Repost the Assyrian images you claim to have used to 'debunk' anything. Don't do anything else till you have done that.

Reserve such racist terminology for your wretched, worthless self and your family. Leave us out of your self-loathing.

Racist terminology? What is more racist than your President abandoning his country for 100 days to stay in British Hospitals, a place he has gone to twice before that... Can that happen in OYIBO countries?

Can Queen Eliza come to Ikeja General Hospital for even 1 hour for ear infection?

What about her majesty doing Python dance in Man City? Then another Operation in Leeds, and yet another in Edinburgh... without approvals from so-called parliament and the likes...

You must have forgotten where the name of your country came from, and WHO COINED IT.

FACTS.....dont cry about it

Rosskii:


Criminal, there is nothing in those images that disproves anything posted above. The hair on the head of the Assyrian men is long and flowing, while the hair on the heads of the Jews is short and curly, or in short dreadlocks.

Obi1kenobi:


What a load of horseshiit.
The only difference in the artistic portrayals is the longer hair and longer beards for the Assyrians. The texture is the same. If you claim the Jewish hair portrayed is curly or dreadlocks, you can say exactly the same for the Assyrian hair.
