The only true way to begin is to start with what we know of our people and that is what we have been taught since we arrived in Jamestown in 1619. Most of us do not know anything beyond slavery in the United States, except for those of us who seek the knowledge or those whose family have kept the tradition of passing the information down the generational pipeline. I was fortunate enough that my family researched our roots back to my ancestor who arrived here on a ship via Madagascar. However, most of us only know the "tales" told in Public schools and once a month in February during Black History month. If you research further you will find that our heritage is rich with royalty and accomplishments that the history books leave out, on purpose I might add. But this isn't about what we do know; it is about what we don't know!

Slave Masters Took These 9 Awful Actions To Convert Blacks
The Promise of Heaven
The most important aspect of Christianity for the enslaved was the promise of heaven — a promise made by plantation owners. This idea preached the notion that for all the suffering that is done in the physical world, your soul will be preserved and you will experience a hardship-free spiritual life, according to Slave Resistance, A Caribbean Study. What this did for enslaved Black people was give them hope for the future. Converted enslaved people’s belief in heaven allowed some to passively resist their plantation owners and focus on the afterlife. With that belief, all of the beatings and lashings meant nothing because in heaven the enslaved person would be rewarded and the master would be punished.
Constant Work
The vigorous, constant plantation work assigned by owners left the enslaved people hardly any time for themselves, and that included religious activities, according to christianitytoday.com. Some plantation owners required the enslaved to work even on Sunday, an intentional move to break them away from their religious regimen and softening them over time to accept whatever religion was presented to them by the plantation owners.
Blocked Communication
Plantation owners separated the enslaved people who spoke the same tribal language so they could not worship together and could be taught Christianity at the same time, according to an article titled TheInconceivable State of African-American Christianity on christianitytoday.com.
Separated Families
Moving family members from one another broke down the spirit of the enslaved, as they believed wholeheartedly in worshiping together, according to academia.edu in a study on the role of religion in Africa. With their family units broken, their African beliefs were broken, too, making them more willing to accepting another religion.
Demonstration of Power
When Africans were captured and brought to America by the Europeans, they often attributed the Europeans’ power to the power of the Europeans’ God. Therefore, it was often easy for some enslaved Africans to begin to worship the victorious Christian God in place of their own gods.
Catholics’ Conversions
Often, African practices were brought into Christianity in new and interesting ways as a way of luring the enslaved into Christianity and away from their religion, according to an article at the Mariners Museum called Captive Passage. Enslaved Africans in Roman Catholic nations often converted easily because of Catholicism’s ability to accommodate and absorb other beliefs.
Mixing of Religious Practices
Symbols and objects, such as crosses, were conflated with charms carried by Africans to ward off evil spirits. Christ was interpreted as a healer similar to the priests of Africa, according to PBS’ Slavery and the Making of America. In the New World, fusions of African spirituality and Christianity led to distinct new practices among enslaved populations, including voodoo or vodun in Haiti and Spanish Louisiana. Although African religious influences were also important among Northern Black people, exposure to Old World religions was more intense in the South, where the density of the Black population was greater.
Missionary Work in West Indies
Missionaries — from the Moravians, the Baptists and the Methodists — all engaged in the process of Christianization in the West Indies, according to an article by Jeffrey K. Padgett titled The Christianization of Slaves in the West Indies. By the middle of the 18th century, Moravian chapels and mission houses were in populated areas of many of the British-controlled islands. Missionaries argued to planters that the enslaved needed religion and that planters also would benefit from the conversion.
Social Control
In the Caribbean colonies of Cuba and Saint-Domingue, religion was taught to enslaved Africans as a means of social control more than as a means to edify their souls, according to an article titled SlaveReligion in Central and South America. Especially in the colonies’ early days, while the plantations were small and the enslaved population was not huge, plantation owners used religion to teach obedience. In Cuba and Brazil, Catholic saints were often equated with gods from Africa — generating familiarity for the enslaved.

The first important thing to note is we were brought here on ships, of course this we already know. What we don't know is that this event was prophesied in the bible!
Deuteronomy 28:68
And the The Most High shall bring thee into Egypt again with 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 and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
If you are familiar with your bible you understand that the people in bondage in Egypt were the Hebrew Israelites.
Noah was the father to, Shem, Ham and Japheth
The Hebrew Israelites were the descendants of Abraham.
According to scripture, Shem had a son whose name was Abraham and he begat Isaac, who begat Esau and Jacob (Yaaqob, in Hebrew).
Genesis 5:32
And Noah was five hundred years old; and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 21:2-3
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which Yah had spoken to him.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him Isaac.
Genesis 25:23-26
And The Most High said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called him Esau.
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob; and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
In Genesis chapter 35:10,
Yah changed Jacob's name to Israel....
And Yah said unto him, thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel
And of course it goes on to say what Yah said to him...
Gen 10:11-12
And Yah said to him I am Yah Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to the seed after thee I will give the land.
Jacob did multiply and he had twelve sons...
All these sons were the descendants of Jacob, Genesis 35:22-26...and because of Jacob's name being changed to Israel, they were known as Israelites.
In Genesis 15:13,
Yah gave Abraham a vision in his dream of what would become of his descendants.
And he said unto Abram Know of surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them and they shall afflict them four hundred years:
To give further proof that we are the Israelites of the bible lets find out what was to become of the Israelites after they left Egypt and was given the Laws and commandments by Moses.
Exodus 19:3-5..
And Moses went up unto Yah and The Most High called unto him out of the mountains, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel.
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles wings and brought you unto myself.
Now therefore if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people for all the earth is mine:
As the above scripture states we were a special people to Yah and when he delivered us out of Egypt he had expectations for us, thus he made a covenant with us.
Exodus 19: 5-7
And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priest, and an Holy nation. These are the words which thou shall speak unto the children of Israel.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which The Most High commanded.
And all the people answered together, and said, All that The Most High hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto The Most High.
To be continued in Deuteronomy 28

Spiritual vs. Carnal
2 Timothy 3:7 (KJV)
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The Human brain, it is an incredible organ, it has the capacity to process Information as slowly as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec (about 268 miles/hr). In fact, every time you recall a memory or have a new thought, you are creating a new connection in your brain.
Knowledge can be explained as facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject or the awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.
The Wikipedia explains knowledge as a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.
I would suggest that the above descriptions are the carnal demonstration of what knowledge is.
However, spiritual knowledge is a matter altogether different than carnal knowledge; let us see what the world thinks about spiritual knowledge.
The spiritual gift of knowledge is also known as the “word of knowledge” or “utterance of knowledge.” The Greek word for this gift is Gnosis and it simply means knowledge and understanding. *source: SpiritualGiftsTest.com
Seems like a pretty bland description of spiritual knowledge doesn't it? It is easy to trivialize the spiritual knowledge of the bible through carnal understanding because if you have not experience the true divinity of a personal relationship with Abba Yah and His son, Yahushua. You could not know or have experienced the manifestation of acquiring spiritual knowledge in the context of communicating through the set apart spirit of Yah!
What does the bible say about knowledge?
Proverbs 2:6 KJV
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 1:7King James Version (KJV)
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
.Matthew 11:25King James Version (KJV)
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
1 Corinthians 2:6-10 King James Version (KJV)
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 12:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 8:2 KJV
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know
I save the most poignant scripture last because it addresses the very topic I am writing about and to further add to the importance of this subject to give you an idea of the mind of Yah as it compares to the understanding of the mind of man.
Isaiah 40:28
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Isaiah 55:8-9
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
As the scriptures tell us spiritual knowledge is far greater than carnal knowledge because it comes from Yah! There are a lot of people caught up in this stumbling block by their quest for carnal knowledge. This misguided attempt to acquire something that is only tangible to your mortal understanding can only be limited to its most basic form by man, it is a temporary fix to a human condition called vanity! The mind is capable of so much more! There is nothing wrong with seeking carnal knowledge unless you use the acquirement of that knowledge to discount or try to debunked spiritual knowledge and the existence of the archaeological and scriptural proof of the bible.
What gets lost in all this is the essence of faith; unfortunately, it is this carnal thinking and lack of faith that will keep people from experiencing the greatest miracles and mysteries of knowledge they will ever know. I speak from experience, if you do not have faith, you will never come into the knowledge Yah wants to share with you!
This is what the bible says about faith:
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
How can you ever hope to experience the mysteries and ultimate knowledge if you do not believe? Why would Yah reveal himself to a person who does not believe in Him?
Think for a moment...
Would you reveal all of your secrets to someone who does not believe in you?
I don't think you would, if would be like casting your pearls before swine.
One of the most numerous phrases in the New Testament is "those who have ears, let them hear."
You must be open to Yah's words for him to speak to you. Too many people are too distracted by the lusts and vanities of this world to pay attention when He is trying to reach you.
For example, His message for you could be a "wake up call;"
if you survive a deadly car crash or taking for granite that you are blessed with good health when some are not. Having the use of all of your appendages, when so many are paraplegic
It isn't until people are faced with a life or death situation that they acknowledge the existence of Yah and most of us, after the crisis is over go back to their lives until the next time.
I understand I've done it myself, but no one shared with me their revelation of the "spiritual knowledge" of Yah, as it pertains to the before and after!
This is why I am sharing this with you....
Yah gives us the choice of free will that means we are in the driver seat when it comes to making decisions about our life good or bad. He also give us the choice to accept His perfect will in our life which means He takes the driver seat and He directs your life the way it should go.
I can tell you with Yah at the helm my life has taken on new meaning, I am at perfect peace. I understand what it means when He says "come to me all those who are heavy-laden and I will give you rest." It is true. I have always known about Yah, I had always believed in Him, I always had faith and I was fully aware of the times in my life that he tugged on my heart and I did not listen. We all are graced with that same connection. Some are more aware of HIs presence than others. There is a voice inside you the world calls "a conscious” that is Yah’s spirit at work in you. . You are programmed to believe every silly explanation the world gives you to discredit His existence. He has known us before we know ourselves that is a fact! Yah is always trying to direct you to a righteous way of living. The question is when will you listen?
For those who do not believe in the bible, I can without doubt tell you that it is only through faith that you will come to know, understand and see the manifestation of Yah's existence.
He will unlock your mind to mysteries, knowledge and miracles that this world as we know it can ever comprehend. He will show you what an AWESOME God He Is!!
So this carnal knowledge you seek, believe me when I tell you there is no comparison to the spiritual wisdom, understanding and knowledge that He will bestow to you by diligently seeking HIM through reading his word. There is a scripture:
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
In my own understanding it is a significant scripture, but Yah revealed HIS understanding to me: Study to show yourself worthy to HIM, before HE bestows the gifts of HIS knowledge unto you! You have to be a worthy servant in Yah's eyes before He reveals His wisdom and knowledge.
Matthew 6:33
But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
He wants you to seek Him with all your heart, so that He knows through your humbleness, dedication and submission, you honor Him and know that He is Yah all mighty; your only Creator/God! It is only then that He will manifest Himself to you and makes His presence tangible for you to witness!!!! HalleluYAH!
While people search for concrete proof and tangible evidence of Yah's existence, He is revealing Himself to people of faith. The seekers of carnal knowledge chase fruitless diatribe that is meaningless other than to give you stature, puffed-up intelligence and boasting abilities that in the end won't save you when are faced with the true knowledge Yah is real!
So, Yahushua says in Yah’s scriptures of knowledge:
Mark 8:36K(KJV)
6 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
James 4:17
If a man knows what is right and fails to do it, his failure is a real sin.

The Cepher Bible
The Cepher bible restores an accurate order to the books as they were originally written.
In light of the current racial tension across the United States, I would like to touch on a controversial topic a little different than my usual posts, it is a little long but I
hope you will take the time to read in its entirety....
Disclaimer: I am not generalizing all white people, just the people who fit the profile of a bigot.
The Suffering of a People and the Answer to Their Relief
Nina SImone
I watched a documentary of the singer, pianist and activist Nina Simone, a very talented brilliant woman. I didn't know much about Nina SImone, I heard her name mentioned in passing, but I didn't know anything about her life or her music. When the documentary, entitled "What Happened, Miss SImone?" finished, all I could think of is her story is so very common for all of us in this society as black people trying to navigate in a world where white supremacy exists for us on a daily basis. For African Americans, it is a very real concept that is dismissed and often played down by some White Americans, as a figment of our imagination or dismissed as black people always complaining and making excuses why our life is so bad. So the easier solution becomes,
"If you don't like it why don't you leave?" Or the very popular "Why don't you go back to Africa!"
I feel for some white people those words make it easier to delegate responsibility back onto the oppressed rather than accept the real truth. After all, isn’t that the psychological escape that most abusers used when being accused of the abuse? I imagined the era in which Nina SImone lived, the time of my parents and my grandparents, can only be experienced to get the full magnitude of what it must have been like to live under such wicked oppression.
I see the volatile state we are in now and although, it appears to me since the election and presidency of Barack Obama, this country has backslid into the same atmosphere as it was in those tumultuous times.
I wonder if it ever left. Was it an oozing sore that festered below the surface until the right conditions caused it to spew forth the infection of racism and hatred we are now witness to in the media and in our daily lives?
As I watched the turmoil of African American's in Nina Simone's time and what I'm witnessing now, there hasn't been much change, sure we can move around freely. There is no "for colored only" signs and separate water fountains to drink from, but the attitudes, the separation, the disdain for African Americans in this country is still very much alive and simmering like a pot of boiling hot water that threatens the very fabric of a nation that is supposed to be built on civility to all human beings. Yet it has never been quite true for all Americans, has it? And therein has always been the problem for those who don't measured up to the ideal of being quite "white" enough, to be accepted in this society along with the same privileges as our white skin counterparts. What this documentary proves to me is that no matter what the social status of a minority is the treatment will always be the same.
The struggle for civil liberties and the right to be treated as a human being will always be the same and the cost to co exists under these conditions has been a detriment to our mental and physical well-being since the introduction of slavery in this country. As I look at the state of our people, study our history, study white history it is very plain to see for me that there is a bigger force behind our oppression and I've come to learn that whether we as a people are wealthy, middle class or poor, there is a game to be played to maintain the status quo of living in this society and when we don't go along to get along the price to pay is high. The most obvious examples are the high profile African American celebrities, actors, athletes, musicians etc., in the public eye who have lost their life or careers under the pressures of fitting in. The destruction of our people is very obvious in our communities, the family structure, the chaotic mentality of some of our young people, the damage of a government system designed towards keeping a people in poverty. These calamities are happening to us by design and as I watched the story of Nina Simone, the story of Michael Jackson, the story of Whitney Huston, the story of Bobby Kristina. The countless stories of urban crime, drug use epidemics, diseases, mental illness, privatize prison systems for minority men and women, the gun deaths by police and our own in our communities I wondered.....why is this happening to us?
Well, there are answers that most of us may not be ready to accept, understand or even to believe, but it is the truth based on bible scriptures and if you want to confirm the information through your own research... you will find the truth out for yourself.
So what do the scriptures tell us?
We have always been a hardheaded, stubborn people....
Ezekiel 3:7
But The House of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they have not hearkened unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardheaded.
We were always determined to do what we wanted to do regardless of the consequences and we don't have a clue who we are.
Isaiah 1:3
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
What did The Most High mean, when He said Israel rebelled against Him?
Isaiah 1:4
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
What specifically did Israel do?
Daniel 9:11
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
How did The Most High Punish Israel?
Ezekiel 39:23-24
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Who are the enemies, The Most High turned Israel over to
Deuteronomy 28:49-59
The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand,
a nation of fierce countenance who will have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young
For Israel's disobedience and transgressions of the law, The Most High, curses Israel.
Deuteronomy 28:15
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
See if you recognize any of these curses that apply to our people... (All verses and more are in Deuteronomy 28, you can read the whole chapter at your convenience.)
Deuteronomy 28:16-17
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store
19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. (Vexation; frustration)
21 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. (Pestilence; diseases)
22 The Lord shall smite thee with consumptions, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. (Consumption: wasting away of body through disease)
25 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. (Smitten; afflicted/to cause pain and suffering)
28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: (astonishment; desolation or destruction)
29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. (a byword; a nigger, sambo, jungle monkey, etc)
Zechariah 11:5
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
These are just some of the curses, do they sound familiar? Does it not seem, that some of us are struck with madness, others full of rage, fear, frustration, high percentages are dying of stress-related diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc., heart attacks, stroke, poverty, unemployment?
And yes, we are persistently killed and the perpetrators are found not guilty!
Our Shepherds are the so-called righteous leaders of our people in spiritual matters, is there a public outcry? A public rubuke of the community crime, murder and oppression against our people? For the most part there is silence in the church when it comes to the plight of our people in this country, against the evil that plague us daily. There is a lot happening to cry aloud for. Does your pastor spiritually prepare you for what is to come against our people in these last days? Why this is happening to us? You should know....it's all in the scriptures.
How will Israel be punished?
Jeremiah 16:13
13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
Deuteronomy 28:68
68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with 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 and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
(Egypt means bondage), (buy means save)
What other people were brought to other lands by ship to be slaves?
NO MAN SHALL BUY YOU!
Not Marcus Garvey! Not MLK, Not Malcom X, Not Obama...No MAN!
SO, the most important question other than your salvation! Is who are you?
When the Arabs advertise other nations for slaves, they called the Israelites'
"The people of the book."
Deuteronomy 26:17-19
"You have today declared the LORD to be your God, and that you would walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments and His ordinances, and listen to His voice. "The LORD has today declared you to be His people, a treasured possession, as He promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments; and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, for praise, fame, and honor; and that you shall be a consecrated people to the LORD your God, as He has spoken."
1 Kings 8:53
"For You have separated them from all the peoples of the earth as Your inheritance, as You spoke through Moses Your servant, when You brought our fathers forth from Egypt, O Lord GOD."
Isaiah 41:8
"But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, Descendant of Abraham My friend,
So now, you know who you are and why you suffer. I know you have known, just as I have before I understood, how influential and talented we are in this world. The question is why?
We are His chosen people and until we get ourselves together and recognize who The Most High is and His son, we will continue being a cursed people.
If you need further evidence Yah chose you over other nations, below the scripture says He will punish you first for the wrong you do. Until we get it together, we will continually be plagued with the hardships that have persisted upon us from then to this day.
Amos 3:2
3 Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
The Most High punishes Israel because the covenant was made with Israel, not with any other nation and Israel broke the covenant by transgression (sin) of the laws.
This is what The Most High wants us to do. We are to be the light of The Most High and lead the other nations back to HIM.
1 Chronicles 17:20-21
"O LORD, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. "And what one nation in the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make You a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt?
2 Chronicles 7:14King James Version (KJV)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I know there are some of you who are familiar with the many powerful miracles performed in the Old Testament for those who believe, from Joshua and his army having faith in Yah to knock down the walls of Jericho to Moses's faith when Yah parted the sea. These miracles were done to show the power and glory of The Most High through his servants, who believe in Him. We have to have that same faith to believe that He is our one true God and those same miracles He can do for us in these troubling times ahead. I pray that His spirit touches those who believe and have faith to Hearken to His voice in this message. I have a genuine love for all people who have a righteous heart, especially my people and we have suffered long enough, it is time to turn towards the one who loves us most unconditionally, believe in Him and His son who died on the stake for our sins so that we might be redeemed and come home where we belong......we've been away from His spirit and body for far too long. Once we come home, the world and the other nations will follow us and know the name of Yah, our God and His son! Some Gentiles already know! (Check out videos on youtube where other nations tell you who you are!)
Isaiah 14:1-7
1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Shalom

Did You Know?
The original indigenous people in Europe were Black. Yes, including the Kings and Queens.
Scotland, Ireland, France, Britain, Germany and Italy was ruled by Black people in history.
The proof of this is in the museums in Europe, as well as statues, castles and artwork all over Europe. Black History is full of great accomplishments that is not taught in American history books, you just need to search for it, it can be found in books and on the internet, right at your fingertips, literally. We are a GREAT people!
Richard the ll King of England
Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was the wife of King George III. She was Queen of Great Britain and Ireland from her marriage in 1761.
We all know King James, who commisioned translators to interpret the bible. He was black and also an Israelite. He nicknamed himself Jacob, after the Father of the Israelite tribes.
This is the King James, that American history would have you believe.....
In an attempt to white out all history of a Black Europe, there were coins, statues and art that remained untouched as proof of a Black dominance in Europe.
Socrates, the Greek philosopher was also black.
Even Hercules, was black.
( I am not acknowledging the Greek deity/god, I am merely pointing out that the people who sculptured this had to be a black people, the statue itself represents the culture and appearance of the people who carved it.)
As you can see (black) culture is rich with royalty and diversity and even then our shades of color was varied. We have a reason to be proud of who we are! Search your history, come into the knowledge of who you are! The pride you will feel is unlike anything you have ever felt. We once were and still are a GREAT people. We just need to find our way back to that place of Acknowledgement and our spiritual foundation with Yah! HALLELU "YAH"

For centuries society has placed traditions and holiday celebrations at the forefront of our lives. It has become a lucrative moneymaking industry several times a year and people spend thousands of dollars to make sure that their family happily participates in each and every celebration. As society celebrates these holidays in festive joy and thanksgiving rarely is it given thought to the true origins of every celebration and the philosophies behind them? All that is truly known is that every year like clockwork society looks forward to and anxiously awaits the season to spend money, decorate and prepare for each one diligently and faithfully. Like blind participants people go along with the programming that the media, TV, advertising campaigns and traditions passed down generation after generation and without question society follows. This programming can be the same for the foods we eat, the clothing we wear, the music we listen to, even the latest trend in the acceptance of sexual perversion. There is one thing that is perfectly clear; society is affected by whatever mode of thinking/thought is at any given time, the masses/minds of people adhere to. The media plays a huge role in transmitting those thoughts to the vast majority of the population. So do we really think for ourselves or is our thought processes influence by what we think, feel or hear around us?
If we think of our influences as young children, we are taught everything we know from our parent's first, they are the biggest influence in our lives. When we become adolescent our biggest influence are our peers, for some go as far as giving up who they are to fit in with their peer groups. My point here is to say, from the time we are born; people are conditioned by the things that are around them and though we have a choice to what we believe and do, there is that outside influence that determines how we apply behaviors, thoughts and beliefs in our life.
Everyone bases their perception of reality on experiences, beliefs and what they have been taught, for some, they only believe what they can see, touch and feel and this makes their world tangible to them. For others, there is a belief outside of that reality such as a belief in a higher being, a Creator of all things and for others there is a belief of otherworldly things such as extraterrestrial beings, ghosts and demons. Our beliefs in these things are influence by the media, TV, books and movies. Our perception of reality through the media is riddled with many things, fantasy, falsehoods, magic, race, gender, drama, science and the distortion of spirituality. All these factors come into play when we perceive what we choose to believe. For example, if someone were to say an angel visited them one morning while they were praying, some people would be ready to commit that person to a hospital or suggest a psychological evaluation, but the bible speaks of visitation by angels all the time. There are many, many instances in the bible where magnificent miracles are accomplished. There are those who claim to believe in the bible, yet will doubt the authenticity of this person's story and the examples that the bible describes. So in essence, the “media propaganda machine” has programmed a perception of possibilities into impossibilities based on what they have conditioned mainstream society to believe or disbelieve.
This interpretation corrupts any possibility of seeking the truth of another reality outside the thought patterns of those in this society who controls the mass (minds) media to think only within this realm of perception.
With that being said, let’s go back to the belief in these various holidays, as I suggested in the above paragraphs would it be a stretch beyond the perception to believe just as society is programmed to celebrate these holidays, that there is a sinister motive behind the celebration of these holidays? If we are paying attention to the change in the flow of our society's spiritual direction we will notice a shift towards wicked beliefs. Things contrary to what we have been taught that signify righteousness according to the scriptures.
This country's belief is supposed to be based on "In God We Trust," yet, in the last twenty years or more there has been a decline away from the commandments and laws of the bible.
By legalizing same-sex marriage, the country has corrupted the very fabric of biblical morality.
Leviticus 18:22kjv- Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
In announcing a transvestite as "woman of the year,” a proclamation that spits in the face of women and the natural order of what Yah says is the nuclear family.
Genesis 2:22kjv- And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
The trend of this this country is going further away from what the scriptures deem as righteous and moral.
Have you notice a rise in occult TV programs lately?
Definition of occult: Supernatural practices and techniques
1. Supernatural
2. Sleepy Hollow
3. Salem
4. American Horror Story
5. Constantine
and many more....
In January, a TV program called "Lucifer" is expected to air on Fox.
The series will focus on Lucifer, "who is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell and resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals."
*source; Wikipedia
Therefore putting the "Lucifer" we know as “Satan" of the bible in a more acceptable version than what the bible describes as a liar and destroyer.
This programming is to pacify society to accept the occult as normal, to kill the spirit of righteousness in the masses (minds) so that people may be more susceptible to its influences.
These are surely signs of the last days where the scripture describes the state of man and our society.
The holidays we celebrate are another aspect of a hidden agenda that few bother to research. If you did, you would notice it is another avenue in which we are fooled to believe that we are doing something innocent based on righteous beliefs, but it is not. Under the guise of festive fun, tradition and the gathering of families to give celebration to these events we are in actuality unknowingly turning our children over to a pagan ritual of child sacrifice(spiritual) every time we engage in these vain exploits of tradition.
I know you would not knowingly sacrifice your children to pagan gods, as parents we are to raise up our children in the ways of righteousness, the way we would want them to go.
It is no longer feasible to stay in the ways of this world, because the ways of this society is becoming wicked. The only defense our children have is for us to know the truth and to put our trust in the one true Father, Yah. It is through his son, Yahushua, that we will be saved from what is surely to be our worst days ahead.
So in closing, do not put your trust in the propaganda and lies of this society that we live in, the scriptures says to come out of her and be set apart. Have the courage and the strength to be different, do not rely on the direction that everyone else is going, believe in the truth and spirit of Yah and our salvation, through His Son.
And most importantly, do your own research; don't allow festive fun and the traditions of this world lead you to believe you are practicing innocent ideologies, when you are in fact worshiping pagan deities!
This is real!
Revelations 12:9kjv And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Ask yourself these two questions....
In what ways could Satan have deceived the whole world?
Remember, it had to be astronomical deceptions to have deceived the "whole" world.
Where was Satan cast down to and how would he and his minions influence the whole earth?
Remember, his goal was to overturn everything that Yah had done.
Ephesians 6:12kjv- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
2 Corinthians 11:3kjv- But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Hamashicah/Messiah.
2 Corinthians 4:4kjv- In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Who Am I?
Deuteronomy 28 is a very important chapter that explains the knowledge of the Israelite under the covenant that Moses brought to them. This is the blood oath made between the Israelite people and, The Most High, Yah. Deuteronomy 28 addresses what will occur according to the covenant, the blessings He will bestow if they keep the covenant and the curse that will follow the Israelite people if they do not keep the covenant. These curses will follow the Israelite people generation after generation. The reasons this chapter is relevant today is Israel did not keep the covenant and so the curses follow us to this day. You are the descendants of these ancient people and the proof of this aligns with the scriptures/bible (The Israelite history book) and what happened to us then, down through the centuries unto this day we are suffering the consequences of the curses.
Who are you?
You are the descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Read on, below is the proof of your inheritance according to the bible. See if you recognize our people's plight within these scriptures.
Deuteronomy 28
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
Blessings for Obedience
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Deuteronomy 28:15-68
Curses for Disobedience
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
22 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
24 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
25 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
27 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35 The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36 The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
49 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God;
59 Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.
63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with 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 and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
When I discovered this truth about who we are, although each scripture stood out as proof to me, not only did it apply to us now, but throughout the history of Black people in this country. Deuteronomy 28:68 was all the convincing I needed because there was no other people who were brought into slavery in the magnitude that the scriptures speak of "all over the world" as well as by ships and no man will save us.....I am a believer and now, I know who I am!
What about you?
