  • “EBED-MELECH” the “(Ethiopian Eunuch)” and “Jeremiah” (Prophet)

    “EBED-MELECH” the “(Ethiopian Eunuch)”

    and “Jeremiah” (Prophet)

     

    Who is “Ebed-Melech” in the Bible?  Ebed-Melech is another “Black man”

    we can add to the many God has already “Revealed” to us.

     Scripture identifies Ebed-Melech

    as an “[Ethiopian]!” – And God speaks very highly of Ebed-Melech.  Listen:

     

    “Go and speak to

    “[Ebed-Melech],” the “[Ethiopian],” saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the
    God of Israel:  Behold, I will bring My
    words upon this city for “[adversity],” and not for “[good],” – and they shall
    be performed in that day before you.

     But I will “[Deliver]” you in that day,” says

    the Lord, and you “[Shall not]” be given into the hand of the men of whom you
    are “[Afraid]!”

    For I will surely “[Deliver]” you,

    and you shall not “[Fall]” by the “[Sword],” – but your “[Life]” shall be as a “[Prize]”
    to you because you have put your “[TRUST]” in “[ME]!” – says the Lord,”
    (Jere.39:16-18).

  • “EPHRATHITE” (Descendants of Ham – BLACK ppl in the Bible)

    1.    King David’s father “[Jesse]” is

    identified as an “[Ephrathite]” in Scripture (1 Sam.17:12).   So,
    what is an “[Ephrathite]?”  Research
    tells us that “[Ephrathites]” were the “[Dark-skinned]” descendants of “[Ham]”–
    the (Canaanites) who occupied “[Bethlehem, Judah],” during ancient “OT” era.

     

    2.    We also know that “[King David]” was

    identified through his father’s name “[Jesse].” This revelation shows us that “[King
    David]” was also a “[Black man]!”  And
    his son, “[Solomon]” of course, was Black man as well. 

     

    3.    When God created “[Adam and Eve],” from

    the “Dust” of the “Ground” (brown in color), “Gen.2:7,” – He did not give them
    last names.  So, those who descended from
    them, were “[Identified]” through their “Fathers’ names.” Ex. Cain begot
    “[Enoch],” and Enoch begot “[Irad],” and we can follow the descendants of
    “[Adam and Eve]” all the way down to “[Lamech]” who is the father of “[Noah],”
    (Gen.5:28-29).  These were all “Black ppl,”
    (same as David’s father).  But “White”
    images were placed on all of them by the time the Bible became available for
    purchase (1611). 

     

     

    4.    So, this shows us how “[Destructive],”

    and “[Evil]” the practice of “[Deception]” truly is!  By placing “White” faces on Black patriots, the
    world has been “duped” into believing they were all Caucasian, (stealing Black
    biblical history)!

  • “ADAM and “EVE” (DNA) Proof – created “(Black)!”

    Prior to 1962, the yr. in which “DNA” was discovered, mankind had no idea as to which race

    of people God could have possibly created “First!” (Due to the many different
    races of ppl that has evolved since).  It
    would have been virtually “Impossible” to determine this, prior to this
    scientific discovery.

       

    But now, by God increasing knowledge to mankind in “Science,” (Using “DNA”

    research), we know that God created His first human couple as “Black
    People.”

     

    Their studies proved that it is scientifically “Impossible” for “2” Caucasian/White

    ppl to produce any person of “Color!”  That’s because Caucasians do not carry “Melanin”
    within their “DNA” make up to do so. 
    Had “Adam and Eve” been created as Caucasian, then no ppl
    of color would exist!  And we do
    exist! 

     

    However, just as “DNA” proved that it would have been Impossible for God to

    have created Caucasians first, - “DNA” also proved that God “Did”
    create His first human beings, “(Adam,” and “Eve),” as Black
    ppl!

     

     And according to Scripture, this is how He did

    it:  God took the “Dust” of the “Ground,” (dark-brown in color), and he used the substance of the “Earth” to construct
    their bodies, and He breathed the “Breath of Life” into them, (Gen.2:7).  Today, we call this “dark pigmentation” “Melanin.”

     

    The correlation between prophecy and “Revelation today” is that God used “Science”

    (DNA) to support His Holy Scriptures – confirming how He created
    His first human beings.  So, science
    reveals “Truth” that is “Irrefutable!”

     

    The beauty of Melanin is this: “[Melanin]” carries the unique ability to “Reproduce”

    itself in various shades of skin color (light brown, Tan, Yellow, Red),
    - all shades, (Including “Albinos,” and “Caucasians”). 

     

    So, now scientists knew, and could prove with “100%” accuracy, that God created

    the Black Race of people, “First!”– and all other races of ppl “Descended”
    from them! 

     

    So, the breakthrough science in “DNA” solved the puzzle as to which race

    of ppl God created, “First!”

  • “The Truth about (Black People) in the Bible”

    1.    Did you know that “[Ham],”

    (Noah’s Black son) has far more “Descendants” according to Scripture, than his White
    brother, “Japheth,” in the Bible? 
    Ham’s descendants begin in “Gen.10:6,” (Naming his “4” sons: “Cush,”
    “Put,” “Mizraim,” and “Canaan).”

     

     

    2.    Now these sons went on to produce many,

    many, descendants – all listed down to “Gen.10:20.”  This makes up “14” verses of Ham’s
    descendants (All Black People)!

     

    3.    And when look at their accomplishments,

    Scripture tells us that it was these descendants of Ham who founded “All”
    of the major cities during early biblical History.  For it was Ham’s grandson, (son of “Cush),”
    “NIMROD,” who founded and built these great cities: “Babylon,”
    “Assyria,” “Nineveh,” “Erech,” “Acad,” “Calneh,” “Shinar,”
    “Rehoboth Ir,” “Calah,” and “Resen,” (Gen.10:8-12).

     

     

    4.    However, Scripture also tells us that

    Ham’s brother “Japheth,” (Noah’s White son), his history in the Bible
    covers only “4” short verses “Gen.10: 2-5,” – providing only the
    names of his descendants; nothing more!  So,
    to learn more about them, after research, we learn that all of Japheth’s descendants
    are located in “Europe!” – not the “Middle East!” 

     

    5.    This “Reveals” to us that after Noah,

    and his sons: Japheth, Shem, and Ham exited the Ark
    and began life afresh, Japheth and his descendants did not remain in the
    East very long, but migrated around the Mediterranean Sea, establishing
    town and villages along the way.  And
    their “First” established capital city was “Greece!” – and they named
    their new dwelling area of the earth, “Europe!” So, this explains “Why”
    there is (No history) of “Japheth’s descendants” in the Old
    Testament – no verses telling of Japheth’s descendants’ accomplishments, or cities
    built (like Ham’s descendants), not even wars w/others nations – Nothing!  So, this lack of information about them shows
    us that Japheth’s descendants did not remain in the Middle East very
    long before migrating, and establishing Europe.

     

     

    6.    So, why is this “Truth” vital

    to Black ppl?  Because God is showing us
    the importance of His Black ppl in the Bible, and how “Great”
    they were back then, and “Now!” (We/Black ppl descended from these
    great builders and kings!

     

    7.    Can you imagine how the world would

    view the Black Race of ppl had their history been told, and “[Pictures]”
    of them had been presented to the world as great “[Architects]” and kings,
    in the beginning, rather than “Slaves” and “Uncivilized” human
    beings? 

     

    8.    So, it is vital to the church,

    and secular society, as well, for all Black ppl, in
    particular, to teach/learn the truth of Black ppl in the Bible – then begin
    to teach it to their own family, first! And then to others. 

     

    9.    Now that the truth has been told, can

    you see the offense in being “Lie to,” and “Tricked,” into
    believing all of this very Black history was stolen from its rightful owner (Black
    ppl)? If it is not, then you lack the Spirit of God that reigns in
    the hearts, and souls of the mighty ppl God created in His own
    Image, (in the Beginning) – from the “Dust” of the “Ground”
    (brown in color), “Gen.2:7.” 

     

    10.                      

    But the one thing we can give credit to is:  that
    those under the influence, and sway of Satan is very good
    at – DECEPTION!  Jesus even warned
    about Satan’s power to “deceive,” saying, “Satan is so good at “deceiving,”
    if it were possible, he would deceive God’s very own “Elect!” (Matt.24:24).  That’s Powerful!

  • “REHOBOAM” (“BLACK” SON OF KING SOLOMON)

    1.    After the death of “King Solomon,”

    – his son, “[Rehoboam]” inherited the throne as “[King of Israel],”
    (1 kings 11:43). But Rehoboam did not inherit the wisdom of his
    father.  Actually, Rehoboam’s
    reckless decisions as king “Divided” the Nation of Israel!  Here’s what took place:

     

    2.    While Solomon ruled, the

    citizen of their Nation of Israel complained that the high taxes were creating
    a heavy burden on the ppl.  So,
    when “Rehoboam” became king after Solomon, the ppl again,
    pleaded their case before him as well (1Kings12:.4).

     

    3.    But instead of Rehoboam listening

    to the advice of the counselors Solomon used, he replaced them with younger
    advisers – who instructed him to make the burden worse, and
    actually “Raised” their taxes (1Kings 12:6-11)! 

     

    4.    This harsh decision cause the

    majority of the “[Israelites]” to break away from this young
    king.  So, “10” of the “12” Tribes
    separated themselves from the “Tribe of Judah” and became a “New
    Nation” controlling the “Northern kingdom of Judah” and they
    established their own king to rule over them (king Jeroboam); (1
    Kings 12:20). 

     

    5.    This explains why Scripture often

    refers to “Judah” (the dark-skinned tribe), and “The House of Israel”
    as two different parts of the Nation as a whole.    

     

    6.    So, King Rehoboam now only

    controlled the “Tribe of Judah!” (Israel’s most important tribe) because
    the Messiah was predicted to descend from it (Gen.49:8-10).  Therefore, recognizing its importance, the “Tribe
    of Benjamin” decided to be loyal of “[King Rehoboam].”  So, together, they contained “180K”
    warriors, and they remained together with “[The Tribe of Judah!”
    ready to go to war against the “House of Israel!” 

     

    7.    Therefore, God intervened and commanded

    them not to go to war against their brethren (1 Kings 12:22-24). So,
    these “2” tribes “Judah,” and “Benjamin,” controlled the “[Southern
    kingdom of Judah].”  But never again
    would Israelites operate as “One Nation!” 
     

     

    8.    And unfortunately, the “10”

    Tribes who defected, and became a new nation, were led into “Idolatry”
    by their very first king, “King Jeroboam! – he set up idol gods
    for them to worship, and he credit this idol god for bringing the Children of
    Israel out of Egypt, instead of the “Living God!”  And we know from Scripture that God tells
    us that He does not “Share” His Glory! (Isa.42:8).

     

    9.    This new king also changed their

    holy days, and set up new times for worship.  He also made priests of those who were
    not qualified to be priests (1Kings 12:28-33).  Since they no longer obeyed the Laws of God,
    they were not considered real Jews any longer, but were looked
    down on, by the Jews who followed the Law.  And all the kings after “Jeroboam,”
    followed in his footsteps; misleading the “10” tribes, and defiling their own religion
    “Judaism.”  None did what was
    right in the eyes of the Lord. 

     

     

    10.                      

    This
    new nation, called the “House of Israel” eventually gained control of “Samaria,”
    and made it their “Capital city” for the “10” tribes who were led
    astray (mixing Judaism with pagan customs).

    11.                      

    That
    is why many yrs. later, (after Jesus was born, and on His Earthly Ministry),
    His Disciples were shocked to find Jesus talking to the “Woman
    at the well!” – she was a Samaritan Jew! and bloodline Jews
    did not associate with “Samaritan Jews,” due to this very history
    (Jh.4:1-25).

     

     

    12.                      

    So,
    although “king Rehoboam,” (Black son of Solomon), was a reckless King,
    he had the wisdom to keep the original Laws of Israel; handed
    down by Moses.  For further understanding,
    read 1 & 11 Kings.

  • “JESUS” And the (CANAANITE/BLACK) Woman!

    So, approximately three thousand years later, after Jesus was born, and now in his “30s”

    – (carrying out His commission, and “Earthly Ministry),” traveled
    to the region of “Tyre” and “Sidon” (Region where Canaanites
    lived) because Ham’s son “Canaan” named his son “Sidon,” and the region
    took on his name (Gen.10:15). Scripture Ref:

     

    “Then “[Jesus]’ went out from there and departed to the

    region of “[Tyre]” and “[Sidon].”

    “And behold, a “[Woman of Canaan]” came from that region and

    cried out to Him, Saying, “[Have mercy on me],” O Lord, - “[Son of David]!” –
    My daughter is severely “[Demon-possessed]!”

    But He answered her not a word.  And His disciples came and urged Him, saying,

    “[Send her away],” for she cries out after us.”

    But He answered and said, “[I was not sent “Except” to the

    “[Lost Sheep]” of the “[House of Israel]!”

    Then she came and “[Worshiped Him]!” saying, “[Lord, help me]!”

    But he answered and said, “It is not good to “[Take the

    children’s bread]” and throw it to the “[Little dogs].”

    And she said, “[True, Lord],” yet even the “[Little dogs]”

    eat the “[Crumbs]” which fall from their “[Master’s table].” 

    Then Jesus answered said to her, “O woman,” - “[Great is your

    faith]!”- Let it be to you as you desire.”

    And “[Her Daughter]” was “[Healed]” from that very hour

    (Matt.15:22-28).

     

    The encounter of the non-Jewish “Canaanite woman” (Gentile), with “[Jesus]”

    is consistent with another Scripture that reads:

     

              “[Do Not]” go into the way of the

    “[Gentiles]” and do not enter a city of the “[Samaritans],” But rather, go to
    the “[Lost sheep]” of the “[House of Israel]!” (Matt.10:5-6).

     

    Our (Heavenly Father) sent “Jesus” to His own Jewish ppl “First!” – to bring them out of

    “Darkness” into His Marvelous “[Light],” - but the majority of
    their spiritual leaders rejected Jesus because they were jealous of Him
    (Matt.27:18). 


    And because Jesus’ own rejected

    Him, He “Chose” and anointed the “[Apostle Paul]” to specifically
    to go and preach the Gospel to “Us!” (Gentiles),” (non-Jewish ppl),
    (Acts 9:15-16). 

     

    So, let us not “Reject” our Savior, too – but welcome Him – that we may have

    “Everlasting Life!” – Amen?

  • WHAT HAPPENED “AFTER” JESUS’ (RESURRECTION)?

     

    1.    Jesus (After His Resurrection),

    appeared to “Mary Magdalene,” (FIRST)! 
    This was the woman whom Jesus had cast out “7” demons (Lk.8:2).  Filled with exceeding “Joy,” Mary ran
    and told Jesus’ Disciples that He had “Risen” and was “Alive!”  But they did not believe her (Mk.16:9-11). 

     

    2.    Next, Jesus appeared to “11”

    of his Disciples (Thomas was not with the others when Jesus
    appeared to them).  So, when Thomas
    returned, they told him Jesus had “Risen” and was “Alive!”   And
    Thomas doubted them, saying, “Unless I see in “[His hands],” the “[Print
    of the nails],” – and “[Put my hands into His side],” I will “not” believe.”

     

     

    3.    “8” days later, Jesus

    appeared to the Disciples again (Thomas being among them this
    time).  And Jesus said to Thomas,
    “[Reach your “[Finger here],” and “[Look at My hands]” – and “[Reach your
    hand here],” and “[Put it into My side]! Do not be unbelieving, but “[Believing]!”
    – and Thomas answered and said to Him, “[My Lord],” – and “[my God]!” (Jh.20:24-28).
    So, because of Thomas’ disbelief, Jesus blesses his followers today who
    “Believe” without seeing, (vs.29).

     

     

    4.      Not only did Jesus appear to Mary, and His Disciples after His Resurrection,

    (as though it was limited to only a few people would know He had been
    resurrected back to life), No, not at all! 
    for Jesus walked and talked to many people for “40”
    days before He ascended back to His Father.  Jesus even appeared before a crowd of more
    than “500” people at one time, after His Resurrection (1
    Cor.15:6-8).

        

    5.    Scripture Ref.: “To whom He also

    presented Himself “[ALIVE]!” after his suffering by many infallible
    proofs, being “[Seen by them]” during “40” days – and “[Speaking]”
    of the things pertaining to the “[kingdom of God]!” (Acts 1-3).

     

    Conclusion:

    After the “40” days were passed, and Jesus ascends

    back to His Father, He give his last statement to His Disciples:

    “Now when He had spoken these things, while they “[Watched],”

    – he was “[Taken up]!” and a “[Cloud received him]” out of their
    sight.

    And while they looked steadfastly toward “[Heaven]” as

    He went up, - behold, “2” men stood by them in “[White apparel],”
    who said,

    “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?”

    This same “[Jesus],” who was taken up from you into heaven, will
    so come in “[Like manner]” as you saw Him go into heaven,” (Acts
    1:9-11).

  • "JONAH," (THE PROPHET) and (BLACK PEOPLE)

    “Jonah” was “Unlike” any of God’s other Prophets – he was an “Angry”

    and “Rebellious” prophet. 
    So, God had to deal harshly with Jonah!  Jonah’s story helps us to learn more Black
    biblical history because Jonah’s history in the Bible occurs in the region
    of “Nineveh!”

     

    And we’ve learned from previous studies that Ham’s grandson,

    “[Nimrod]” founded “Nineveh,” capital city of “Assyria.”  So, it is reasonable thinking to conclude
    that the city of Nineveh’s population was composed of a majority Black
    population (Gen.10:8-12).

     So, when God commanded Jonah to go and preach

    His message of warning to Nineveh, Jonah fiercely refused to obey God;
    so much so, he boarded a ship and sailed out to sea to try and
    get away from his calling.  So God had to teach Jonah a lesson - here's that lesson:

    “So they picked up “(Jonah)” and threw him into the sea, and the

    sea “(ceased)” from its raging.   Now the
    Lord had prepared a great “(Fish)” to swallow “(Jonah).”  And Jonah was in the “[Belly of the fish]”
    “(Three days)” and “(Three nights)!” 
    Then Jonah “(Prayed)” to the Lord his God from the “[Fish’s belly].” 

    So, the Lord “[Spoke to the fish]” and it “(Vomited)” Jonah onto

    dry land. 

    Now the Word of the Lord came to “Jonah” the “(Second time),”

    saying, “Arise, go to “(Nineveh),” that great city, and “(Preach)” to it
    the message that I tell you. 

    So “(Jonah)” arose and went to “(Nineveh),” according to the Word

    of the Lord.” (Jonah 1-3).

  • “(KING HEZEKIAH)” GOD PROTECTS “BLACK SPIRITUAL HISTORY!”

    Hezekiah was one of God’s righteous kings.  He was only “25” yrs. old when he

    became king. And he reigned “29” yrs. in Jerusalem.  His mother was the daughter of the Prophet,
    Zechariah (2 kings 18:2).

    Hezekiah pleased God by “removing” all

    the “Idol gods” Israel had been worshiping prior to his reign.

    They had even taken the image of a serpent made by Moses, and began to burned

    incense to it – Hezekiah broke it in pieces, and destroyed it! (1
    kings 18:4).  He kept the laws of Moses
    and did not depart from them.  Therefore,
    the Lord prospered Hezekiah.

     

    However, sometime during Hezekiah’s reign, he was confronted by a powerful “[Assyrian king]”

    named “(Sennacherib),” who had already conquered certain regions of the Philistines,
    Samaria, and Lachish, (2 kings 18:34) – with the intention of also
    conquering “Tirhakah,” (King of Ethiopia)!


    And the king heard concerning Tirhakah, “[King of Ethiopia]”

    “Look,” he has come out to make “[war]” with you!” so he again sent messengers
    to “[King Hezekiah],” saying, “Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying,
    “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria,” (2 kings
    18:9-10).

     

    So, here’s what Scripture tell us about “Assyria” – The city of “Assyria”

    was founded by “Ham’s grandson, “[Nimrod],” (the son of “Cush).  Nimrod also built “Nineveh,” “Babylon,”
    and many other cities during Ancient biblical days (Gen.10:6-12).  

    So, was Sennacherib a Black king?  Let every man make

    up his own mind!  But in applying commonsense,
    if it was Ham’s grandson who built Assyria, it stands to reason
    that the Kings of the nations he built would also be Black!

  • CONCLUSION OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH (“JESUS” AND WOMEN)

    THE GREAT CHANGE UNDER THE “(NEW

    TESTAMENT)” FOR “WOMEN!”

    “JESUS” “(Liberated)”

    women from the (curse of Eve)!

     

    Jesus showed by, example, how a man should

    really treat a woman. And he left instructions on how a man
    should love/treat his wife, saying,

    “In the same way, “[husbands]” ought to “[Love]” their

    “[Wives],” as their own “[Bodies].” He who loves his “[Wife]” loves himself(Eph.5:28). 

     

    “JESUS” also “(Liberated)”

    women from “SHARING” a husband with other women (multiple
    wife marriage)

     

    But because there is so much “[Sexual immorality],” each man

    should have his “[Own Wife],” and each woman should have “[Her own husband],” (1
    Cor. 7:2).

     

    Example of Jesus’ “(Liberation of

    women)!”

     

    1.   

    The “Woman” caught in the act of “Adultery” – instead of Jesus “stoning
    her to death,” (as the Law permitted), Jesus “Forgave” her sin and told
    her to go and “Sin no more!” (Jh.8:3-11).

     

    2.   

    “The mother” who lost her son: Jesus had “compassion” on the grieving “woman!”
    – and He “Resurrected” the woman’s son back to life (Lk.7:11-17).

     

     

    3.   

     “The Woman at the well: “Jesus
    went “Against” the culture of the day, and He “[Talked]” with the “[Samaritan Woman]”
    at the well (Men did not respect women enough to talk to them” – but Jesus did!
    Jesus showed the same respect to “Women” as He did men (Jh.4:4-42).

     

    4.   

    Jesus was close friends with the sisters “Mary and Martha” and He had “[Compassion]”
    for them when their brother passed away, and He “[Raised their brother “[Lazarus]”
    from the “[Grave]!” (Lk.10:38-42).

     

     

    5.   

    “Mary Magdalene” a “Woman” who had been “[Set free of “7” demons
    inhabiting her body by Jesus],” became a dedicated follower, and was in the
    company of “[Jesus]” on a regular basis.

     

    Jesus appeared to her “1st” after His “Resurrection!”   
    (Matt.28:1-10).

     

    6.   

    Jesus healed “[The Woman with the Issue of Blood],” and he told her “[To
    be of good cheer],” that her “[Faith]” in Him had made her well, and He told
    her to go in Peace (Lk.8:48).

     

    So, “Women” are far more faithful to Jesus

    than men, because we suffered more than men (due to the Curse of Eve). 

     

    But because of Jesus brought in a “New Testament” governed

    by “Grace” (rather than law), women are no longer the curse of
    Eve! 

    Faith in Jesus liberates women from the curse of men “Ruling”

    over them!

     

    And women no longer suffer the “shame” of

    “Sharing a husband.”

     

    Under the New Testament, women willingly accept

    God’s order – that the man is the “Head of our Households” as a
    family unit (structured by our Heavenly Father)!

     

    “But I want you to understand that

    the “[Head]” of every “Man” is “[Christ],” - the “[Head of a “Wife’]” is her “[Husband],”
    and the “[Head of “[Christ],” is “[God]! (1Cor.11:3).

     

    So, this concludes our presentation of “Women in the Bible!”  So, let us not only “Honor women” for

    one month, but throughout the year – Amen?
