There are quite a few Bible verses which suggest that we, the Africans south of the Sahara, or at least a huge proportion of us, are descendants of the ancient Israelites. The Israelites were dispersed, in other words, forced to flee the region, in fulfilment of Bible prophecy in the 70 AD siege, invasion, and destruction, of Jerusalem by Roman forces. By conservative estimates, up to 1 million Israelites fled into Africa. That population, nearly 2000 years ago, would have ballooned to over 600 to 800 million by today, accounting for much of the population of Africa today, which stands at 1 billion.

The Israelites had a pact with Yahweh, that he would protect and make them prosper so long as they obeyed his laws. The Israelites at some point, broke that agreement. They began worshiping the gods of their OYINBO neighbours. They started preferring foreign stuff and foreign ways, over their own Yahweh approved traditions. (Who does that remind you of?)



Deuteronomy 28:

What Race of People Does THIS Sound LIKE To You?



Blessings for Obedience

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.



Curses for Disobedience

15 However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

20 The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him. 21 The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. [THIS LAND IS AFRICA] 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. 24 The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder [DESERTIFICATION OF THE ONCE FERTILE SAHARA]; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

25 The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. [FOREIGN INVASIONS OF AFRICA AND SLAVERY] 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. [SELF HATE, INFERIORITY COMPLEX, COLONIAL MENTALITY, VISIONLESSNESS] 29 At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.

30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. [LIFE FOR BLACKS IN SLAVERY IN THE AMERICAS ETC] 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce [COLONIALISM] and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. 34 The sights you see will drive you mad. 35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

36 The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. [CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM, with wooden cross and stone Kabbah] 37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you. [RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION]

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. [AFRICAN FAMINE] 40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.

45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. 46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. 47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in unclothedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck [SLAVE TRADE] until he has destroyed you.

49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you. [DESCRIPTION OF EUROPEAN INVASION, ENSLAVEMENT AND COLONISATION OF AFRICA]

53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— 59 the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.

64 Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. [THE BLACK DIASPORA OF DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES] 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. 66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. 68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you. [TRANS-ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE]


Now, we know that the above basically describes the Black Experience, both in Africa and the diaspora, where millions of our people - descendants of slaves, reside, and are subject, everywhere, to racism and discrimination.


Here's a few more quotes from YAHWEH


Zephaniah 3:10-12

''From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.''


''Beyond the Rivers of Ethiopia'' [ie River Nile] lies DIRECTLY West and Central Africa.


Amos 9:7

''Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?''


Other Pointers:


In the Hebrew, Adam (or Ahdahm) is defined as swarthy, dusky, reddish-brown soil, dark-skinned like a shadow. Aphar: The soil from which Adham was made, meaning: dust, clay, always very black or very dark brown in colour. (The Biblical History of Black Mankind by C. McGhee Livers)

The Garden of Eden was described in Genesis as having been near a four-river system in the region of the lands of Cush, Havilah, and Asshur, which today would be near the borders of Eastern Sudan, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. The birthplace of humanity was confirmed when the oldest human remains were found in Ethiopia in 1974. Science and the Bible are often at odds, but one thing both confirm is that the birthplace of humanity was in East Africa. (Eden: The Biblical Garden Discovered in East Africa by Gert Muller)

I am afraid you are busy lying to yourself. Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel that He was indeed sent only to the Lost sheep of Israel. So any eternity you claim you have is all a delusion if the blood of Jacob does not run through your literal veins.

The emboldened is not true and you need to stop saying it.

John 10:15-17
King James Version
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

This is Jesus Christ himself using his own mouth to tell you that he has other sheep not of lineage Israel which he MUST also bring into his fold; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

So because He mentioned having other sheep you made it your place to CONCLUDE He has to have been speaking of non-Israelites?

I ask because obviously nothing in the passage suggests that the reference was to non-Israelites.

Kobojunkie:

Jesus Christ came to the Jews --- the descendants of Judah, Benjamin and Levites --- who were Israelites of the Nation of Judea at the time, and announced to them that there were other sheep who were not of the fold He spoke with, this after declaring that indeed the Father sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Israel. Clearly , He was most likely speaking of those who were of the scattered nation of Israel descendants of the other 10 tribes that were lost beginning about 700BC when the nation was destroyed by the Assyrians. They too were lost sheep of Israel. And He, Jesus Christ, the scattered sent out to gather them all back to the Father.

The fool in this case is the one who claims to believe God yet concludes that God must have lied when He proclaimed , even through the prophets, that He sent His Son only to the Lost sheep of Israel.

Why not proof him wrong instead of calling him a fool? The 10 tribes were sacked many years before the Messiah came and it was clearly written in 2 kings 17. He only met the 2 tribes who were later sacked too. The land of the 10 tribes was given to the fake ppl who are known as Samaritans in the NT. Remember what happened between the messiah and the samaritan woman. Though they lived in the land of the sacked 10 tribes, the messiah called her a dog cos he knew they are not of the true blood. The promise is first for the true seeds before others. He will gather is ppl first before others
Kobojunkie aka 10kobo is right on this but wrong by saying the promise is only for the seed of Jacob. Salvation is of the Hebrews. The Hebrews when restored will help the gentiles see the light/know the truth. Then they would be gathered together. Anyone not of the hebrew blood is a gentile

Jesus says he has sheep that he must bring into his fold, sheep which were not originally of the fold of Israel, not of THIS FOLD. He said he will be shepherd over all of all the sheep, they will be one fold and they will have one shepherd

It is interesting what is written in Isaiah 56 which seems to suggest at first glance that non-israelites are somehow included in benefiting from eternal life promised to the people of Israel by God. But one needs take a closer look at the Law to be certain if this assumption can truly hold.

▦ The Old Law of Moses: God gave about 613 statutes and commandments in total of which only a fraction applied as far as the foreigners in the land. Some of the laws that pertain to the foreigners — non-Israelites — who lived among the people of Israel can be found at the following link : Commandments in the Torah specifying how the foreigners living in the land were to be included or treated. However, Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20, the promise of the Law, completely excludes the foreigners — who are not of the blood of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — from benefiting from the promise of Life after death.

▦ The New Covenant (Jesus Christ): Jesus Christ was absolute in proclaiming that He was sent by the Father ONLY to the Lost sheep of Israel. And He firmly declared that He did only that which is the Will of the Father. He made no provisions in His Gospel for the inclusion of foreigners in the pact which He brought to men and He was emphatic that like the bronze snake which was raised in the desert for the salvation of Israelites condemned in the desert by God, He too would be raised to save the israelites condemned by God.

At this point, I am even moved to ask those who believe a non-Israelite can join God through Jesus Christ the how of that given that Jesus Christ has provided made no way— in addition to the one set by His Father— in His teachings for such to take place? Also, what does it mean for a foreigner to join self to God via Jesus Christ?

Kobojunkie:
