BLACK ISRAEL?
There are more and more
people questioning who the scattered tribes of Israel are today.
It is a most important
question because scripture has some serious warnings for the scattered nations of Israel in the last days if they do not return
to their Creator.
Today I am going to start with a couple of verses that I often refer to
in these videos;
Rev 18:4-6
4 And
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive
not of her plagues.
5 Because her sins have
reached to heaven, and Elohiym has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward
her even as she rewarded you and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled FILL TO HER
DOUBLE.
I do not know of very many people who think that we are not in the
last days so there are two things that I want to focus on today.
First, who is the “her”
that He is referring to and secondly, who are “His” people since they are commanded to come out of her.
The previous two verses explain that our Creator is referring to Babylon as the “her” and they give us
a description of who Babylon is.
Rev 18:2-3
2 And
the angel cried mightily with a strong voice, saying; Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation
of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication and the
kings of the earth have committed fornication with her and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance
of her delicacies.
This is a clear cut description of the United States
on a physical plain but it is certainly more inclusive than this.
The United States certainly
has caused all nations to drink of her fornication and the merchants of the earth have waxed rich from their abundance.
Ever since the U.S. dollar became the world currency and the Federal Reserve was established
to supposedly stabilize or attempt to stabilize the dollar, the U.S. can simply print more money.
The citizens of the U.S. have been on the benefitting side of this compared to the rest of the world who cannot simply
print more money like they can.
This is in addition to the material blessings of abundance
that were handed down to the descendants of Abraham who were called into the United States and her allies.
One thing is for sure, the physical nations that make up Babylon are going to fall and scripture makes it clear that
it is not going to be pretty.
It is also clear that the U.S. is a big part of who Babylon
is, especially when you consider the spiritual side of Babylon.
This certainly tells us
that the U.S. will receive a great deal of the coming affliction.
But behind the physical
blessings that the nations within Babylon have distorted and trampled underfoot is the religious confusion that thrives in
their gates.
Babylon symbolizes captivity and confusion.
It
is clear that all of the world’s religions are in a state of confusion; therefore it could be argued that the whole
world is in captivity which it is.
But there is something that sets Babylon apart because
they are to receive a double portion of the coming wrath for their fornication.
This can
all make sense if you can identify who His people are that He is commanding to come out of her.
Isa
45:3-4
3 I will give you (Israel) treasures in the darkness
and hidden riches of secret places, so that you will acknowledge that I YEHWEH, which calls your name, am the Elohiym of Israel.
4 For my servant Jacob’s sake, Israel my elect, I have
called you this name: I have surnamed you, even though you have not known me.
It
is clear that the elect of Elohiym are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Few
would contest this except Islam who says that the elect are the descendants Abraham through his son Ishmael.
It was His promise to Abraham to build a nation out of His descendants through Isaac and then through Jacob.
Some believe that the descendants of Jacob are those calling themselves the Jewish people today.
This is insanity to think for several reasons.
One, the Jewish people were only
one tribe of Israel and Benjamin stayed with them for a period making them two tribes.
Secondly,
YEHWEH clearly originally sent the ten tribes into captivity for their disobedience and they lost their identity.
There is no evidence historically or biblically that they returned.
They were followed
by Judah and Benjamin also being sent into captivity for their rebellion in the 4th century A.D.
Even after the destruction of the second temple in 70 A.D., there were some still clinging to the truth that Yehshua
restored even though the false religion of Christianity was fast emerging from all of the perversions of that truth.
But in the 4th century the icing on the cake was applied by the Jewish of the day when they perverted YEHWEH’s
method of tracking time to determine His appointed times and they fixed the weekly Sabbath to a fixed day of Saturday on the
pagan roman calendar.
They too were sent into captivity.
They
did this in an attempt to avert the persecution because Rome was authorizing their followers to hunt down and destroy true
followers of the Sabbath and the rest of the Torah.
They thought fixing the day to the Roman
calendar might avert this persecution plus give a universal day on the pagan calendar for those that were separated to keep
so they could worship on the same day.
It did give them a universal day of worship but it
did not thwart the persecution and another one of satan’s perversions was set up.
But
it was an abomination and those few still fighting to hold onto the truth had to flee into the hills, and the rest of Judah
and Benjamin were sent into captivity to chase after their own heart’s desires as well.
They
forsook the protective covering YEHWEH’s wings and continued perverting His word and formed what is called Judaism today.
Thirdly, those who returned in 1948 and have returned since then cannot be the original
Jewish people because they returned with the same blasphemes that the Jewish people left with.
YEHWEH
did not restore them to Jerusalem without genuine repentance, especially when they continued to reject His Son’s atoning
sacrifice.
No, those who returned were those who adopted the false religion of Judaism as
they came in contact with the tribes of Judah and Benjamin when they were scattered.
Jerusalem
has been trodden underfoot ever since and is called Sodom and Egypt in the Revelations of Yehshua.
It is called Sodom because of all of the abominations done in her midst and it is called Egypt because it represents
the captivity that Israel was sent into.
All twelve tribes were scattered and remain in
captivity to this day, except the small flock that was called out of her along the way since then who have become His first
fruits.
There is a growing movement that makes the claim that the twelve tribes are the
African Americans, the Hispanics, the Puerto Ricans, the Seminole Indians, the North American Indians, the Australian Aborigines,
the Dominicans, the Haitians, the Jamaicans, those from Panama, The Mexicans, others from South America, Cuba and so on, depending
on the list that you look at.
They base this claim on verses like;
Rev 1:14-15
14 His head and His hairs were WHITE
LIKE WOOL, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And His feet like unto FINE BRASS, AS IF REFINED IN A FURNACE; and His voice as the sound of many
waters.
Since this is a description of Yehshua, the say that Yehshua was
black because John describes His hair like white wool, claiming that wool is a description of the hair of a black man.
And they say that the description of brass refined in a fire is a description of a dark color
therefore His feet were dark skin.
I have no idea what color Yehshua’s skin was but
I need to address this subject because so many are distracted by this growing belief and their eyes are not on the ball.
Today, I want to establish that the time of tribulation has much to do with the nations of
Israel for not returning, but it also has to do with the whole world being cleansed.
With
this understanding, it is important to know who true Israel is because it is important to know what the truth is so that you
can receive it into your lives and not be purged out in the coming cleansing.
These religious
groups that are caught up in a black Israel seem to have nearly their entire focus on the fact that they are the descendants
of Israel and not on the truth that would set them free.
I have no doubt that the 12 tribes
of Israel varied some in the color of their skin since they descended from 4 different women, although two of them were sisters.
Plus there were different times when they rebelled and took the wives from other nations around
them and such and mixed in other colors into their gene pool as well.
All races came off
of the boat after the flood through Shem, Ham and Japheth’s three wives.
It is certainly
about genealogy but it is not about the color of skin.
In any case, after Noah there were
obviously other races through his son’s wives.
Whether Noah was black or not is not
the question and knowing whether He was or not does not make you a descendant of Israel.
What’s
more important is, being a physical descendant of Israel certainly does not automatically make us right with YEHWEH Elohiym
whatever our color is.
It is our choice to be led by Him that places us under His protective
wings.
I would like to point out to these people who use this verse about the white wool
for this purpose, it says that His head and His hair were white like as wool.
I would also
like to point out to these people that the Greek word “like as” is the same Greek word that is used in verses
like;
Matt 3:16
….and
John saw the Spirit of Elohiym descending “LIKE” a dove, and lighting upon Him:
Does the spirit look like a dove or did it descend like a dove?
Of course the Protestants
would say it looked like a dove with all of their man-made trinkets and such even though we cannot see spirit so I better
give you another example of its use;
Matt 9:36
36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted and were
scattered abroad, “AS” sheep having no shepherd.
Did they look
like sheep? Or were they scattered like sheep?
So we have to ask the question was His hair
like white wool or was it white like wool?
And what difference would it make in regards
to the process of repentance?
Revelations 1:14 is also saying that “His head”
and His hair was white “as” snow.
These people want to separate the hair from
head. If that is the case, why is the head even mentioned if it was separate? There would simply be no description for the
head if it meant the hair only.
Rev 1:14-16
14 His
head and His hairs were white like wool, “AS WHITE AS SNOW”; AND HIS EYES WERE AS A FLAME OF FIRE;
I listened to one man who was claiming that this verse was referring to Yehshua having wooly
hair also say that the second part of this verse about His eyes was referring to they were as a flame
of fire because He drank wine, therefore His eyes were red as fire.
Well, yes He did drink
wine because there is nothing wrong with having a glass of wine but it is certainly quite the stretch to say that this is
why His eyes were as flames of fire.
It is actually blasphemous to say this. Is He returning
hung over or drunk or something?
No, He is returning with the cup of the wrath of His indignation
and His Father’s indignation.
It is unbelievable how far people will go to uphold
their beliefs.
Again, I do not know how dark or how light Yehshua’s skin was but this
is not what these verses are referring to.
Next, this man talks about His feet were colored
black or darkened. He says this because he says that brass burned in a furnace would be darkened, very darkened.
Well, let’s look at this and see if this is what the verse says;
15 And His feet like unto fine brass, as refined in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters.
The word for fine brass is the Greek word;
NT:5474
chalkolibanon (khal-kol-ib'-an-on); neuter of a compound of NT:5475 and NT:3030 (IN
THE IMPLIED MEAN OF WHITENESS OR BRILLIANCY); burnished copper, an alloy of copper (or gold) and silver having a brilliant
lustre:
#5475 that is comes from is the Greek word Chalkos which means;
NT:5475
chalkos (khal-kos'); perhaps from NT:5465 through
the idea of hollowing out as a vessel (this metal being chiefly used for that purpose); copper (the substance, or some implement
or coin made of it):
So is it copper or brass? It does not really matter
if you continue to study the verse.
How about the other part of the word used for fine brass,
#3030?
NT:3030
libanos (lib'-an-os);
of foreign origin [OT:3828]; the incense-tree, i.e. (by implication) incense itself:
In the King James this word is translated as frankincense.
I want to continue to
follow this through to make the point, the word #3828 that this word comes from is;
OT:3828
lebownah (leb-o-naw'); or lebonah (leb-o-naw'); from OT:3836;
frankincense (FROM ITS WHITENESS OR PERHAPS THAT OF ITS SMOKE): -frank-) incense.
Again, this is not about whether Yehshua’s skin was black or white. I am just showing that this is not the
meaning of these verses.
If it was, you could argue that it is saying that His skin was
white as snow from these definitions because as I just have shown, the definitions imply a whitening of whatever metal it
was.
The bible uses white as a symbolism of purification.
We
are made white by His blood, etc.
The next verse proves that John is speaking figuratively,
like much of the rest of the book of Revelations that He recorded;
16 And
He had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD: and His countenance was AS THE SUN
shines in strength.
Out of His mouth flows the logos of Elohiym; this is
sharper than any two-edged sword. The logos is what all will be judged by.
It is not a literal
two-edged sword coming out of His mouth.
His countenance was power and might. I am sure
there was a glow about Him as well, just as I am sure that His head and His hair were white, but again, these verses have
nothing to do with skin color.
John is certainly being given these verses in symbolism to
have symbolic meaning.
White hair is a symbol of honor and wisdom in the scriptures.
This man also referred to the book of Daniel.
Daniel is a
book written with much symbolism as well.
Dan 10:6
6 His body also was like the beryl, and His face as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as lamps
of fire, AND HIS ARMS AND HIS FEET WERE AS POLISHED BRASS TO THE EYE, and the voice of His words like the voice of a multitude.
This man says that this verse is referring to Yehshua as well.
Is it? Or is it a description of the angel that came to give him the understanding that followed in the following
verses?
If it is the description of the messenger angel as it reads, he needed the arch
angel Michael’s help to get through satan in order to get to Daniel as we read a few verses later in verse 13 which
would make sense.
It might have been Gabriel again as it was in an earlier event in chapter
9.
In any case, it is not referring to the angel’s skin color, nor to Yehshua’s
skin color.
If it is an insert from his vision about Yehshua it does not say so nor does
it fit with the vision.
For that matter, here his face was as lightening. That does not
sound black.
If you want to say that these verses in Revelations 1 prove that Yehshua was
black, that is certainly a stretch but if that is your obsession, I guess you will foolishly claim that it says that.
Brass is a metal that was of great value and it has great significance all through the scriptures, as does gold and
silver and there is even a reference to fine copper being as precious as gold but this is not the subject of this video, nor
what all of the symbolism means.
There were many things made with and overlaid with brass
in the temple.
One of the most significant uses of brass that pointed to Yehshua was the
brass serpent that Moses put on the pole to heal people when they looked upon it when they were bit by a snake.
Yehshua was killed on a stake or a pole.
Point being, it is more than a stretch
to make these verses say that Yehshua was black.
This man also quoted John 8;
John 8:32
32 And you shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free.
He is claiming that the truth that you need to
know to set you free is that the blacks are the children of Israel.
This got me all riled
up because there are thousands listening to this man and men like him.
In the preceding
verse Yehshua gave the prerequisite to knowing the truth;
John 8:31-32
31 Then Yehshua said to those Jews which believed Him, IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY WORD (LOGOS),
then are you my disciples indeed;
32 And you
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
He is telling them
that if they continue in His character or continue to become like Him, made in His image which was His Father’s image,
then we can know the truth.
Why, because His logos is the truth.
I do not see Yehshua saying anywhere that if you know that I am black, you shall be set free.
Now granted, those in Christianity who believe in their version of Jesus, whether He is white or black or whatever
color, they do not have a clue what His Logos is either because they reject living His Father’s word which would teach
them His logos.
We are made holy by His logos;
John 17:17
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word (logos) is truth.
So you see here that His Father’s logos is the truth, not that Yehshua was black or any
other color.
Folks, I am spending some time on this because as I said, there are many falling
into the trap of these debates and this is not what will set you free, nor will it deliver you through the coming time of
destruction.
Another man that I was referred to was going through all sorts of pictures
from medieval times and such that he says were white washed to prove his point that Israel were black people.
I have no idea if some of them were or not or to what degree they were dark or how light their skin was, and I do
not care.
There is a reason that we are to have no graven images of that which is in Heaven,
meaning pictures of Yehshua since He is in heaven.
Maybe they were altered but maybe they
originally were more of what we know to be of mid-eastern complexion today.
After all, this
is where Israel came from. The point I am trying to make is this is not the truth that will set you free.
We are commanded to not have these images of Yehshua and other things from heaven anyway.
Just like the image of a dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
The 2nd
commandment prohibits this non-sense.
This debate is just like all of the focus
on the conspiracy theories and the different plans for the NWO and such, none of it is going to matter.
They are all just distractions from satan.
All that matters is the truth, it will
set you free and His logos is the truth.
Folks, we need to keep our eyes on the ball and
the ball is entering in to eternal life.
If you want to know who true Israel is and who
the saints who are already sealed with the ticket through the gate are, I will tell you;
Rev
14:12
12 HERE IS THE CONTINUANCE OF THE SAINTS: here are they
that keep the commandments of Elohiym, and the faith of Yehshua.
The true
saints continue in the commandments and that includes commandment #2.
The faith of Yehshua
is not whether He was black or white.
He was the logos of Elohiym made to be flesh.
The trumpets are sounding, I suggest that you go and focus on the Logos of Elohiym and what it is and how to get
His seven spirits to teach it to you.
I want to continue on this subject though about who
are the descendants of Israel.
I gave you who scripture says is true Israel here in this
verse.
They are true Israel because they are letting Elohiym be their source for everything.
He is their source for all truth.
But what about the physical nations of Israel who are
in captivity?
Many of them are in captivity in America no doubt but are they just the blacks
and others of dark skin?
The man with the picture book from medieval times would make this
claim.
The medieval times were from the 5th century to the 15th century.
Even if these pictures were altered, how much stock would you want to put in them?
Especially
since Israel had been sent into captivity long before the time of these paintings, whether altered or not.
The ten tribes had lost their identity close to a thousand years before the 5th century A.D.
And how far was it into this evil period of time before these paintings were painted?
There
are a couple of other verses that can stand by themselves that some use to make the point that Israel was black.
One of them is;
Deut 28:68
68 And
YEHWEH shall bring you into Egypt again WITH SHIPS, by the way whereof I spoke to you, you shall see it no more again: and
there you shall be sold to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, AND NO MAN SHALL BUY YOU.
Their argument is that this is referring to the slave trade.
A couple of points
I want to make before telling you what this verse means.
One; the blacks making this claim
also say that Israel is also the Puerto Ricans, Indians, Mexicans, Jamaicans, Cubans, etc.
Were
these all brought to America and to Europe as slaves by boats, and if so, where all within these nations brought there or
just some of them?
Two, it says that no man shall redeem them. If it was referring to the
physical slavery, Spain set its slaves free in 1769 in their North American territories when they abolished slavery.
I think that this was being redeemed by man?
And there were also white slaves,
although predominantly they were certainly black, do these count as Israel?
Of course some
illegal slavery continued after the 13th amendment in 1865 but I want to make the point that they were redeemed by men setting
them free as well.
It could be argued today that there is a powerful reverse discrimination
in America and the blacks have more rights than the whites.
I have certainly seen examples
of this with scholarships and such.
But again, this is not about the color of Israel’s
skin.
For instance, my Father has shown me that I am from the descendants of the tribe of
Levi and I could very easily have some black linage in my genes as well.
Now, if this is
referring to a spiritual captivity, no man can redeem us either, only the blood of the Son of the most High can redeem us
and He is no longer a man.
Israel was scattered throughout the world, to the four corners.
As I said, this is nothing about skin color but it is about the genes.
Do genes influence skin color? Absolutely, but this is not what defines the descendants of Israel.
Do some of them now have black skin?
Were some of them brought over as slaves?
It would have to be so for other prophesies to fit, there were punishments that were passed
down through the generations as promised and some were brought here in a punished state.
But
there were also others that were gathered to the America’s and the other colonies that came out of Europe and the other
areas that Israel was scattered to as well.
Today there is even a wide difference between
what is considered white vs. Caucasian.
The statistics for how many whites are there or
how many blacks are there in the world are totally ambiguous estimates from what I found because of what defines each class.
Instead of looking at color, I will tell you who the scattered nations of Israel are.
They are primarily made up of the third of the world who call themselves Christians today.
Are there exceptions? I suppose some could have fallen away from Christianity and others could be along for the ride
but overall, this is the captivity that the descendants of Israel have been sent into to identify them in the coming time
of destruction.
I mentioned towards the beginning of this video that Babylon represents
captivity and confusion.
All who are not set free by the truth are in captivity, this includes
all religions but Christianity has something else going against it.
They claim that the
blood of ‘El Shadai’s Son covers them in hypocrisy.
They had the truth that
would have set them free given to them and they rejected it.
They made it about religion
or about why they no longer needed to keep the commandments or countless other distractions instead choosing to simply belief
their Elohiym.
This hype about black Israel is just another one of many of these distractions.
If I were you, I would start fearing being a disobedient Israelite over worrying about your
color because my Father’s wrath is getting ready to be poured out on you.
He will
not hold back much longer.
Israel had the truth given to them again when Yehshua came and
they were supposed to live it in order to be an example to the other nations and help their Creator build His family.
Yehshua travelled though out the scattered nations for 7 years just as was prophesied.
Instead
of embracing it, they perverted the covenant that He brought and they brought lies to the world and lived in hypocrisy.
They chose to remain in the captivity.
In 1610, the last
402 years of man’s self-rule began and Israel began to be moved to the lands that she inhabits today in a captive state,
in prison to her abominations.
This happened either by their choice or in some cases by
slave trade if they were living in a punished state.
Does this mean that those calling themselves
Christian in other places around the world are not Israel?
I do not have all of the answers
by any means; however I do know that anyone who treads underfoot His Son’s blood will not escape the punishment for
doing so.
I just know that there are nations who will receive a double portion of the coming
wrath and these are the nation’s that remain in the nations that represent the captivity.
I
also know that this Sunday, on June 12th, His seven spirits will begin to be made available to the whole world and all will
need to fight to receive them in order to learn the truth if they are going to be delivered into the new era of time when
Yehshua returns to set up His Father’s kingdom rule.
If you want to make this about
black or white or any other color, that is your choice.
Your Creator is calling you to come
out of mystery Babylon and out from the lies of the mother whore.
Flee from her spiritually
and physically if you still can.
If you do not make it out of these nations on a physical
plain, or even if you do, there will be only one thing that will deliver you from being destroyed and that is the truth.
And the truth is not that Yehshua was black or any other color, He was His Father’s logos
and this is the name that He was given.
