The Zondervan’s Pictorial Bible Dictionary, states: “Ham - the youngest son of Noah, born about 96 years before the flood; and one one of eight persons to live through the flood. He came the progenitor of the dark races; not the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans, and Canaanites.”
Whoa…. wait a minute hear. You're telling me that the Negroes that are in America do not come from the lineage of Ham? Something is not adding up here. This poses the following question: What is the real heritage/identity/ancestors of African Americans?
The only original source that can solve this mystery are the ancient books that are in the bible. If you want to identify the different people groups in the world, the books written in the bible will reveal this information. You just have to seek it out with all of your heart to find it.
While researching and allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal to me the real heritage/identity/ancestors of African Americans, He led me to Deuteronomy 28. Deuteronomy 28 speaks about the blessings God gives the Jews if they obeyed Him in the first fifteen verses. In the verses after that, God tells the Jews, through Moses, the curses that will happen if they do not harken to His commandments.
Reading about the curses that God gave Moses to tell the Jews stands out more to me than the blessings. As I’m reading the curses, it is like looking at the conditions and mindset of the African American people on ink and paper. As I’m reading the last verse, it’s like the whole world is spinning all around me. The last verse in Deuteronomy 28 states: “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.” Whoa!... My first thought is the Trans-Atlantic slave trade that took place almost 400 years ago and how African Americans were sold into slavery for bondmen and for bondwomen. This revelation is mind-blowing!
Throughout biblical history, Egypt has been a place of refuge for the Jews but also for a place of BONDAGE. Read Exodus 1 for more information. As I am researching and seeing the many Egyptian idols and symbols that are housed in the United States, such as the obelisk in Washington, the Egyptian Eagle on the back of the American dollar, the 13 stars above the Eagle’s head (which in my interpretation represents the twelve tribes of Israel (12) and tribe of Levi (1) which would make 13), the area in Illinois that’s termed “Little Egypt”, I am understanding that the so-called African American in the United States are part of the Lost Sheep of the House Of Israel in bondage In America AKA Egypt.
My eyes are beginning to be opened to the Truth that I continue to build upon this day. The Truth sets you free. I am beginning to look at the scriptures pertaining to myself and not another people group. Knowing this Truth has brought so much freedom to my life because I finally know who I am according to the word of God and how truly blessed I really am as the curses, mentioned in Deuteronomy 28, lift from my mind.
I strongly encourage you to search this out for your own edification and see what is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit, due to the fact that the TRUE identity of the Jews (Natural Branches) is still relevant according to future biblical prophecies that are coming to past as we speak. Discovering who the true Jews are allows me to read the bible in its proper context and I pray that it does the same for you. Shalom (Peace)!
