WE ARE NOT AFRICANS
Based upon the scriptures that have been shown in the report “How do you determine
race or nationality?”; you should know by now that skin color does not determine your
race. Yet many of our people identify themselves as descendants of Africans due to lack
of knowledge. This report will focus in proving according to the scriptures that your
lineage/race is not African and answer some doubts that you might have had although
you read all the scriptures in the report “Who are the Children of Israel”, that identify our
people as Israelites.
Deuteronomy 32:7 “Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations:
ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.”
Again we must remind our people that their history is found in the Bible; therefore we
must seek out of the scriptures and learn of our forefathers. In the book of Ezra chapter
2 verse 62 we are shown how our ancestors sought out a register that contained the
genealogy of our people. Likewise we have a register found in the scriptures that we
must remember.
Deuteronomy 32:8 “When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when
he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number
of the children of Israel.”
To find out about ourselves we must go and consider the days of old, of many
generations. Namely in the days when the most High separated the sons of Adam into
nations. This occurred in the book of Genesis after the most High preserved Noah and
his sons from the flood. There we will find a register of genealogy that can trace all
nations of the earth.
Genesis 10:1 “Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.”
The earth was divided into three groups, named after the sons of Noah. Whereas the
science of this world (ethnology/anthropology) likes to also divide races into three groups
to further confuse our people. They classify races as such: Negroid, Caucasoid, and
Mongoloid. It is not proper to classify the races by such modern names but by the names
of those three men that populated the whole earth; Shem (Semitic/Shemitic), Ham
(Hamitic) and Japheth (Japhetic).
Genesis 9:1 “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth.”
Genesis 10:32 “These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in
their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.” We
must take heed to the Heavenly Father’s word for it is sure. He said that by these (the
sons of Noah) were the nations (races) divided. The other modern anthropological names
are a wicked invention of men that are without knowledge. Jeremiah 17:5 “Thus saith
the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose
heart departeth from the LORD.”
Today we will mainly focus on two of the sons of Noah; Shem and Ham. According to
Zondervan’s Compact Bible Dictionary listed under Ham it defines as such: 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.
Such information that was provided by this dictionary is very important to understand;
that Ham is the father of the dark races (Africans) but NOT the NEGROES. This could
be proven to be true according to the word of the Lord.
Psalms 105:23 “Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.”
Verse 26: “He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.” Verse 27:
“They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.”
In the book of Psalms, the word of the Lord is teaching us that Africa was named the
land of Ham, because Egypt is located northeast of Africa.
Psalms 106:21 “They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;”
Verse 22: “Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.”
Psalms 78:51 “And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the
tabernacles of Ham:”
It is important to note that sons of Ham inhabited what is known today as Africa. David
pointed this out by referring back to the days of the Exodus. The Egyptians were one of
the chief families of the land of Ham.
Genesis 10:6 “And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.”
Josephus writes concerning Cush: For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt
the name of Chus (Cush); for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day,
both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Chusites (Antiquities: Book: 1 Chapter:
6.2). The scriptures agree with the account given to us by Josephus. First we must
acknowledge that the name Ethiopia is Greek from Aithiops which means burnt-face
because of the skin complexion of the sons of Cush. By the way Cush means the same
thing in Hebrew. Jeremiah 13:23 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard
his spots?...” This is a biblical example to us concerning the skin color of the Ethiopians
how they were famous because of their dark skin color. To further prove that the
Ethiopians are the sons of Cush you could read Genesis 2:11-13 and Genesis 10:7.
Genesis 10:8 “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.”
Verse 9: “He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” Verse 10: “And the beginning of his
kingdom was Babel,…” Cush was also the progenitor of the Babylonians.
Genesis 11:9 “Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there
confound the language of all the earth:…” The kingdom of Nimrod was named Babel
which means confusion because the Lord confounded all with different languages. The
name Babylon comes from Babel.
Genesis 10:6 “And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.”
Mizraim was the original Hebrew name for Egypt. Genesis 50:11 “And when the
inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said,
This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-
mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.” This scripture is proving that the name of Egypt was
Mizraim for the Canaanites named that location after the mourning of the Egyptians
(abel-mizraim). Mizraim was also the father of the Philistines. 1St Chronicles 1:11
“And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,” Verse 12:
“And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphthorim.”
This is what Josephus writes concerning Mizraim: Now all the children of Mesraim,
being eight in number, possessed the country from Gaza to Egypt, though it retained the
name of one only, the Philistim; for the Greeks call part of that country Palestine
(Antiquities: Book: 1 Chapter: 6.2).
The Lybians were originally known as Phut and this is what Josephus writes concerning
them: Phut also was the founder of Libya, and called the inhabitants Phutites, from
himself: there is also a river in the country of Moors which bears that name; whence it is
that we may see the greatest part of the Grecian historiographers mention that river and
the adjoining country by the apellation of Phut (Antiquities: Book: 1 Chapter: 6.2). To
read more about them go to Ezekiel 27:10, Jeremiah 46:9, Daniel 11:43 and Ezekiel
30:3-5.
The last of the sons of Ham was Canaan which was cursed by Noah (Genesis 9:24-29).
Their land was given to the children of Israel, Deuteronomy 7:1 “When the LORD thy
God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out
many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater
and mightier than thou;” Canaan was also the father of two mighty nations named Tyre
and Zidon. Genesis 10:19 “And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou
comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and
Zeboim, even unto Lasha.” Now these are the sons of Ham, who are known today as
Africans. Was Israel mentioned in the genealogy of Ham? No!
The children of Israel are descendants of Shem. The book of Chronicles gives us the
same genealogy that is in Genesis chapter 10 but it is a little more direct when it explains
the sons of Shem.
1st Chronicles 1:17 “The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and
Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech.” Verse 18: “And Arphaxad begat
Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.” Verse 19: “And unto Eber were born two sons: the
name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's
name was Joktan.”
So far we understand that Shem begat Arphaxad and Arphaxad had Shelah who had Eber.
The name Eber means past; from here comes the name Hebrew because they kept the
past language. Remember that Eber had one son named Peleg because in his days the
earth was divided (Genesis chapter 11). The scriptures continue to show us the
genealogy of the Israelites.
1st Chronicles 1:24 “Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah,” Verse 25: “Eber, Peleg, Reu,” Verse
26: “Serug, Nahor, Terah,” Verse 27: “Abram; the same is Abraham.” Verse 34: “And
Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac; Esau and Israel.”
Finally we understand that the Children of Israel the so called Blacks, Hispanics and
Native American Indians are descendants of Shem. Whereas those of African descent are
of the lineage of Ham. Now it makes complete sense why the dictionary states that Ham
is the father of the dark races (Africans) but NOT the NEGROES. If you have read
“Color in the Bible” you should understand that the children of Israel are also a dark race
but yet different from the sons of Ham.
Just in case you didn’t read the Color in the Bible report. Lamentations 5:10 “Our skin
was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.” This is one of the many
scriptures that prove the children of Israel were of dark skin color (read also
Lamentations 4:8). Yet the Lord said that we are different from the sons of Ham.
Exodus 11:7 “But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue,
against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference
between the Egyptians and Israel.” Yes there is a difference between so called Blacks
and the Africans. This is why Israel was first enslaved in Egypt; a so called black nation
enslaving another so called black nation.
Exodus 20:2 “I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.” We know you thought Africa was your motherland, but
now you know the facts. Galatians 4:26 “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is
the mother of us all.” Africa is the motherland of the sons of Ham and your motherland
is the land of Israel. Before we answer your questions of why we were captured in Africa
as slaves if we are not Africans, we must inform you of where Africa and America got its
name from. Psalms 49:11 “Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for
ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own
names.” America was named after an Italian Explorer Amerigo Vespucci and Africa
was named after Scipio Africanus a Roman general that conquered Carthage (North
Africa) in the Punic Wars.
How we ended up in Africa you ask? Luke 21:20 “And when ye shall see Jerusalem
compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.” Christ is
prophesying to the children of Israel concerning the destruction that was to come by the
Roman armies in 70 A.D.
Luke 21:20 “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that
the desolation thereof is nigh.” Verse 21: “Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the
mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are
in the countries enter thereinto.” Jesus Christ instructed the Israelites to flee outside of
the country and not to return back. Where do you think Israel fled to? A huge bulk of
our people fled to Africa as they were accustomed to do in the past.
Matthews 2:13 “And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth
to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee
into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him.” Verse 14: “When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt:” As Christ instructed the people to flee out of the
country, the angel of the Lord warned Joseph and instructed him to flee to Egypt (Africa).
Read also, Jeremiah chapter 42.
It is recorded by many historians that in the year 65 B.C. the Roman armies under
General Pompey captured Jerusalem. In 70 A.D. General Vespasian and his son, Titus
put an end to the Israelite state, with great slaughter. During the period of the military
governors of Palestine, many outrages and atrocities were committed against the residue
of the people. During the period from Pompey to Julius, it has been estimated that over
1,000,000 Jews fled into Africa, fleeing from Roman persecution and slavery. The slave
markets were full of black Israelite slaves (From Babylon to Timbuktu, pg. 84).
As with the Greek time period Israelites had maintained their heritage in a strange land
namely Egypt. 2nd Maccabees 1:1 “The brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in
the land of Judea, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt health and
peace:” This is very important to note, that the Israelites did not inter-marry with the
nations that surrounded them. To this the historians agree stating, the black Jews had an
advantage over the African tribes: they carried their culture, history, laws, and written
records with them; this assured them a constant precedent for the development of higher
social organization. Because of the stability of the black Israelite culture, the Jews were
not absorbed into the autochthonous (local) population (From Babylon to Timbuktu, pg.
90).
Many are unaware that Christ prophesied the scattering and enslavement of the children
of Israel. Luke 21:24 “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations:…” The same way many are unaware of the words of
Christ, they are also oblivious that the first (black) slaves to come to the Americas were
not from Africa. Portugal and Spain became the first to enslave and persecute Israelites
that lived and once ruled those nations. Did you know there were so called Negroes in
Europe for centuries?
Here are a few quotes from historians concerning the Jews in Spain and Portugal: Waitz
says, “an interesting gradation of all shades down to the black is exhibited by the Jews.”
Especially dark were the Jews of Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese Jews were “very
dark,” says Prichard. The Duches d’Abrantes, wife of Napoleon’s ambassador to
Portugal, said that “the Jew, the Negro and the Portuguese could be seen in a single
person.” Many of the Jews who were banished from Portugal by John II settled in the
West Indies. John Bigelow, who visited Jamaica in 1850, saw the descendants of these
Jews and says they were Negroid (Nature Knows No Color-Line, pages 123,130).
It was a known fact that our forefathers were scattered, not just to Africa but to Europe as
well. What shall we say then that we are Europeans? No, but this further proves to us
that our ancestors were not originally from Africa and whatsoever land they populated
they took not unto themselves the names of those countries but continued to call
themselves Jews (Israelites). The other nations also were persistent in naming us outside
of our names (bywords). Jeremiah 24:9 “And I will deliver them to be removed into all
the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a
curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.” During the Inquisition, the Jews were
persecuted and forced to convert to Catholicism, once this was accomplished they were
usually named Marranos this is no different from being called a Negro. Please read,
Psalms 83:3-4.
Now that we understand why we were in Africa, we must address a huge lie that is
commonly taught to children concerning the slave trade. As children we are taught that
Africans were selling neighboring African tribes. The Bible is going to teach us the truth
of the matter.
Joel 3:1 “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the
captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,” Verse 2: “I will also gather all nations, and will
bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead (judge) with them there
for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations,
and parted my land.” This is a prophecy that yet needs to be fulfilled, that the heavenly
Father is going to deliver Israel out of captivity and plead with the nations for taking the
land of Israel and scattering his people.
Joel [Link] “And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and
sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.” The scriptures are describing what took place
during the slave trade. Our people were auctioned (cast lots), they traded a girl for liquor
and the boys they traded for a harlot (whore). In the past these boys were made harlots
also because they were used as breeders.
Joel 3:4 “Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of
Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence me, swiftly and
speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;” This occurred first during
the Babylonian captivity; the sons of Tyre and Zidon (Canaanites, so called Africans) and
the Philistines (ancient Palestinians, sons of Mizraim, so called Africans) took occasion
against the children of Israel. While the most High is asking if they will repay him by
sending his people into slavery in other words take vengeance upon God. Likewise this
transgression was accomplished again in the Trans Atlantic slave trade. Where Africans
(Tyre and Zidon) along with the Arabs (newly called Palestinians) partook in the
enslaving of the Israelites.
Joel 3:5 “Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your
temples my goodly pleasant things:” This is referring to the involvement of the Africans
and Arabs looting of the riches of Israel, even before the days of the Babylonian captivity
to the Trans Atlantic slave trade. Please read, 2nd Chronicles 21:16-17.
Joel 3:6 “The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the
Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.” Who were these Africans
and Arabs selling? The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem, NOT
Africans. Of course, the Heavenly Father also tells us who was buying the children of
Israel, the Grecians (so called white man), to remove us far (to the Americas) from our
borders (Jerusalem).. Remember that the laws of the Heavenly Father made us a peculiar
people and easy to distinguish because we are different from the other dark races.
Therefore when the Africans and Arabs were selling us they knew exactly whom they
were capturing. This is why the Europeans named their fort after those whom they
captured. Port Judah is an example of this; it was built by the French and then destroyed
in 1726 by the army of the King of Dahomey.
Joel 3:7 “Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will
return your recompence upon your own head:” In the end brothers and sisters the
promise is deliverance for our people. Israel shall rise up by learning of themselves and
taking pride in their true heritage. Those who sold us such as the Africans the most High
also made a promise to them; they shall recompence him by going into captivity.
Shalam!
