Messiah # 3—The Ethnicity of the Original Israelite People

Blessed is Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and blessed are we to be in His Presence. Thank you for tuning in again today and I believe that you will be mightily blessed and enlightened with the Word that I have for you.

Please pray with me before we hear the sermon.  Dear Holy Lord Jesus, We come humbly into your mighty presence thanking you for allowing us to and for you being our Savior and Lord. We take nothing for granted, Dear Lord, and recognize you as the giver of all of our blessings.  I pray that you will speak to the minds and hearts of your people in a powerful way today and reveal your truths to all who seek you.  In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen

For those of you who were not able to listen in last week I taught the radio audience and gave scripture references about the Black ethnic heritage of the Lord Jesus Christ.  To re-cap, we discovered that because of the African regions of the existence of the beginning of the first man Adam, all people during that original time were by all probability Black African descended people. We also traced some of the people in Jesus’ royal family line and discovered that they were in all probability Black African descended people which would then make Jesus a Black Man also. And we also looked at scripture references to the physical appearance of Jesus Christ and discovered that they clearly define Him as being that of a Black Negroid man.

I want to remind you that there are very specific prophetic biblical   reasons why the ethnicity of Jesus Christ and His Original Jewish people and their descendants are being disclosed today. I want you to understand that these messages are not essential to your salvation because we are all saved by the grace of G-d and our faith in Jesus Christ. Instead, these messages are intended to go deeper into the revelations of scripture that has been sealed until this present day to bring all of G-d‘s people into a higher level of holiness and obedience.

As you continue to listen to this radio broadcast and perhaps visit my online Church at www.NewIsraelOnline.org, I will make the understanding of the L-rd’s will for this day and hour very clear to you. As you learn, it is my prayer that all Christians will come to realize our joyful hope in Jesus Christ and the awesome things that He is doing today in what looks like a hopeless world. In the book of John chapter 8 verse 32, Jesus says “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” These revelations are truths of the Bible that have not been widely taught in the Church. It is the Lord’s will for these messages to set all of His people free.

Today, I want to share with you what God has put on my heart concerning the truth about the ethnicity of the original Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people. When I use the words Hebrew, Israelite and Jewish, I am using them synonymously as they all refer to the same nation of people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus also was born through these Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish  people which makes them His blood relatives. You may like to follow along with your Bibles. I have quoted scripture from the New International Version Bible.

The original Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people are not those who occupy Israel and are known as Jewish people of today. I am not stating that those who occupy Israel today and those throughout the world that claim Jewish heritage are not Jewish. That is between them and G-d.  What I am saying is that they are not the true descendants of the original Jewish people. The original people were born through the Patriarch Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac’s son Jacob and were an African Negroid People. There are many references in Scripture, archaeological findings and DNA results that give us these conclusions.

Again, as I preached in last weeks sermon concerning the ethnicity of Jesus Christ, we must first look at the regions where these people, the original Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people originated. Let’s first look at the Patriarch of the original Israelite people, Abraham. Abraham was born one of the grandsons of Noah’s son Shem.  We’ve already established last week that Noah and his three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth were Black Negroid people.  Noah’s son Japheth is the progenitor of the Gentile nations of people. Ham is the progenitor of African nations of people who are not, according to scripture, classified as Gentiles. Shem is the father of the African Israelite nation of people. You can read about Noah, his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth and the formation of nations in Genesis chapter 10.

The book of Genesis 12:1-7 tells us that Abraham, the Father of the Israelite people was commanded by God to go and live and acquire the land of Canaan. Gen. 12:5 says “ He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.

The land of Canaan is what is known as Israel today. Canaan was one of the sons of the African progenitor Ham. The sons and offspring of Ham are written in Genesis 10: 6-20.  The sons of Ham as written in Genesis 10: 6 were Cush, which is Ethiopia, Mizraim, which is Egypt, Put and Canaan. As you continue to read to verse 20, you will discover and be able to identify many of the peoples written about throughout Old Testament Scripture with an understanding that, these people were the descendants of Ham, whom most scholars agree is the Father of the African Negroid people.  Given the locations that the original Israelite people lived, the people that they intermixed and married with, and scriptural evidence, it is very clear that they also were a Black Negroid people.

They traveled between the known African nations of Egypt and Ethiopia and often times married with these Black African Negroid people. They also intermixed and married with other descendants of Ham. These people included the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, Cushites, and others.

It became a melting pot of Black Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people marrying and integrating with all of these other Black African peoples. Such noted marriages are those of Joseph, who married an Egyptian, Moses who married an Ethiopian and King Solomon who was married to an Egyptian woman and many other women of known African descent including Hittite and Ammonite women. You may read this in 1 Kings 11:1. I am convinced that this was not just a lot of  white or olive colored Israelites intermarrying with a lot of African Women. The Israelites themselves were also Black African Negroid people.

There is Scripture reference to this fact in Ezekiel chapter16 verse 2b which is possibly the strongest evidence in Scripture of who these Black Israelite people were.  The Scripture states the Prophet Ezekiel prophesying to the Israelite people and this is what he said to them: “This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Jerusalem; “Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaan: your father was an Amorite and your mother was a Hittite.” Again, as I mentioned earlier, the Canaanites and the Amorites were descendants of Ham, the progenitor of the Black African Nations of people. The Scripture that I just mentioned in Ezekiel is making it clear that the ancestry of these Israelite people and the land that they were given were from the heritage of the Black African peoples, the Canaanites, Hittites and the Amorites.  They had such a close connection to the Israelite people that Scripture refers to the Amorites and the Hittites as the mother and father of the Israelites.

This melting pot of Black African Israelites and the African descendants of Ham, intermarrying and intermixing, are who Black people on earth today originated from.  It is because of the mixing of the blood of these Black Israelite people with other Black African peoples, that I can proclaim that all Black people are blood descendants of the original Israelite people. This being the case gives them/us the right to our Jewish heritage if we so choose to claim it. Remember, a Jew and an Israelite are the same. I believe that these things  that I am proclaiming will ultimately be proven through modern DNA testing and Language genes.

There are other scripture references that give us an indication of the ethnic identity of the original Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people. The description of these people; what they ate, the jewelry that they adorned themselves with, and their attitudes are all indicative of Black African Negroid people. The scripture in the book of Judges, chapter 16 verse13, states that Samson, an Israelite man, wore seven braids in his hair. This of course is typical of how a Black man would plait or braid his hair to control it. There are other scriptures that reference plaited or braided hair, as well as other descriptive scriptures of these original Black Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people.

To recap, based on the demographics of where these Black African Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people originated and lived, who they intermarried with, what their character was like, and strong Scriptural support, the original Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish  people were Black African Negroid people and we the Black race of people who have been scattered to various parts of the earth today, are the descendants of these original Jewish people.

Why is this important? You may be thinking. These are perhaps the most important revelations in Scripture for this century. It gives us new direction in the Church prophesied about long ago in the Holy Bible when the Lord promised that in a day of tribulation times He was going to come and restore His Jewish people. The prophet Micah spoke these words to the nation of Israel in Micah 4:8 as He prophesied about a later day… this day. “As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to the daughter of Jerusalem.”

The prophet Zephaniah also prophesied a beautiful word of hope and restoration to the Israelite people for a later date…this day that we live in now, during these end times, in Zephaniah 3:8-20 . Part of what the L-rd spoke through Zephaniah in Zephaniah 3:20 is this,  “At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes.”

This identification of who the original Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people are connects them to the Black Race of people and identifies who Black people on earth are today. As we now understand who we are, then we need to understand that these scriptures that I just quoted and all others that were given specifically to Israel and its people are scriptures that were and are given to the Black race of people specifically for today.

This information is not only highly important to the Worldwide Church (the Body of Christ) and all Christians today but it is also healing to the Black Race of people as it identifies us as the people of the Bible, God’s chosen people. A big part of what the L-rd is doing for Black people, with these revelations of who He really is and who they/we are as the ancestors of His original people is that He is healing our people and our land. He’s going to heal us mentally, physically and spiritually.

I really want you to get a hold of this. God sovereignly chose a nation of people, the Israelites, who are also called Hebrews and later in time they were called Jewish people. These people started, as I said earlier, with the Patriarchs, Abraham, then Abraham’s son Isaac, and then Isaac’s son Jacob whose name was also called Israel.  The entire nation of Israel was formed from Jacob’s 12 sons.  These people and their offspring are who God chose as His covenant people, the people that He singled out as His own treasure that He loved and guided and gave special blessings and promises to. You can read about Abraham and the start and formulation of His Israelite family in Genesis chapter 12 through chapter 50. 

These Israelite people which are of African heritage, as I’ve just discussed earlier, have spread this day to include all people on earth of African Negroid descent because of the intermixing of the blood and intermarriages with the original Israelite people from the early beginning on down through the centuries.  This large integration of Africans and Israelites was caused chiefly because of the Jewish and African Diaspora or dispersion of God’s people from Israel, to Africa, and then to all parts of the earth through slavery dispersion by the way of slave ships. 

God originally chose His Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people to be a light unto all other nations of people; to be an example of how to worship and obey Him. While these original people failed miserably and did not obey God, God has made it clear that they/we were and are and always will be His covenant people. Again, the prophet Micah spoke a word to the Israelite people for this latter day that says in Micah 7:18-20 this:

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance.  You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. You will be true to Jacob and show mercy to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our fathers in days long ago.”

The New Testament Book of Roman’s give us very much instruction concerning the L-rd’s plan for His Israelite people. Romans11:25-29 again confirms G-d‘s Word that His chosen people would always be His people whom we now know are the Black Race of people, the descendants of the original Israelites. Roman’s 11:26-29 says, “And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for G-d’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” 

As we can see, to these Black Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people and their descendants are great promises of God for these latter days.  He promises us healing, restoration, prosperity and a great devotion to Him as Lord and King that will never cease.  In the restoration, He has promised to gather us back from all areas of the world where He has scattered us and bring us back to our land---the land of Canaan---Israel----someday by His own provision. (Read Isaiah 11:10 & Isaiah 11:16). He is restoring us back to the people we were originally meant to be, a Holy example for all other nations of people.

These are great and wonderful promises to the Israelite people who we, the Black Race of people are descendants of making us the Children of Promise, unlike our Gentile Christian brothers and sisters who are heirs to the promise through Abraham.

The Lord’s call to the Black Race of people is to heed this word, come into obedience to Jesus Christ, and learn who you are as the original Jewish people, now being grafted in again to your own olive tree. (Read and study Romans:11:1-24 to get an understanding of how the Lord is grafting us, the Black race of people back into the Olive tree).

The Lord’s call to all Christians is to realize the day and time that we are living in and to come into greater obedience and live as Holy people.  God says in His word that He will gather others with His Holy People, the Black Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish people.  The prophet Isaiah said this in Isaiah 56:3 and Isaiah 56:8, to all people that follow the L-rd Jesus Christ…

“Let no foreigner, meaning those who are not Jewish, who has bound himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely exclude me from His people. The Sovereign Lord declares--He who gathers the exiles of Israel; “I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.” What this means to the gentile people, which are all people who are not Jewish, is that while the L-rd is doing this great work of restoration of His original Jewish people, He is also comforting all of His people, those who follow Him, by letting you know that you are not forgotten and that He is going to gather all of His people together.” The Lord is Awesome!  He loves and assures all of His Christian people.

This is the day of preparation for the Lord’s return.  The Lord is Holy and is calling each and every Christian, Jew or Gentile, to a new level of Holiness through the observation of the Jewish Biblical rites, customs, feast days and laws.  This is all a part of the restoration of the Jewish people, who we now know is the restoration of The Black Race of people, who are the original Jewish people.

We have always known through our Bible teaching from our earliest days that Jesus will return for a spotless Church and a Holy Jewish people.  The Lord’s word for us now, today, in the new dispensation that the Church is in, is to turn our attention and focus on preparing ourselves, with His help, for His return.  Many, many people today are  already saved through their acceptance of Jesus Christ.  Now, the Lord is giving the command of how He wants us to live and being obedient and doing it.  This is the only way that we are going to be the Holy and spotless Church that He is coming back for.  We have to become it in Spirit and in Truth.

The Prophet Micah summed up for us what the L-rd’s will is for His people now that He has given us these awesome revelations. Micah 6:8 says this, “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the L-rd require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your G-d.”  Amen!

You know, when the L-rd gave me these awesome revelations of who He truly is and who I am and who my race of people are, the descendants of the original Jewish people, I had not ever heard of these things. He gave me this word and led me to study the scripture for many years to understand His word about this. As I began to really understand these things and wanted quite naturally to share them with others, I felt like I was a lonely voice in the wilderness. Because of my own lack of knowledge of the Scripture prior to these revelations, I did not know anyone who had heard of or were teaching these things.

But then, one day, many years after the Lord had taught me much about all of this, He led me to an awesome Bible which I still cherish today called the Original African Heritage Bible edited by the Reverend Dr. Cain Hope Felder, a Theology professor at the Howard University School of Divinity in Washington DC. I was amazed and in awe that the notes in this Bible confirmed everything that Jesus had spoken to me about Himself and His people. I learned that while G-d had given me divine revelation concerning these things, Dr. Felder through many years of scholarly study and travels had been given the same word from the L-rd, however, His came through more extensive and undeniable evidence and research.

I highly recommend His writings and Bibles for a better understanding this Word to us from the L-rd Jesus Christ. I am not sure where all of His products are available, however, you may want to search online.

There is so much to teach you and I am excited about it. The L-rd surely has come in an awesome way to restore His people. Please join me for my next sermon as I teach you about the Jewish and African Diaspora and how we, the Black Race of people got dispersed to the distant lands that we presently live in.  Also, be sure to visit my Online Church @ www.newisraelonline.org where I have expounded on these teachings.

I would also like to tell you about my book entitled Me? Jewish? The Revelation of a Black American Christian Jewish Woman.” In this book, I tell my complete story about how the L-rd brought these revelations to me and what His plan for His Black people, the scattered sheep of Israel, is. It is available at several locations in the local Tallahassee area…Barnes and Noble at the Tallahassee Mall, Amen Ra’s Book Store, De Youngster’s Hair Salon and Illusion’s Hair Salon or you may go online to my church website to order it online. Again, that address is www.newisraelonline.org.

And one last thing…There are cassette audio tapes available for today’s message for a $5.00 donation.If you would like to order one, please send your request and payment to PO Box 13643, Tallahassee, Fl and ask for Messiah tape # 3.Or, you may call 545-8335.

I’d like to close with this scripture from the Prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 62:11&12 concerning the Israelite people and the New Name that G-d has given us, the Black race, descendants of His original Israelite people.

The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: “Say to the Daughter of Zion, “See, Your Savior comes! See His reward is with Him and His recompense accompanies Him…They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord, and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.”

Blessed be our G-d and our King Jesus Christ the Messiah!

Please join with me in prayer now.  Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you, dear God, for your Word spoken today.  We are enlightened by your new revelations to us.  I pray that each and every listener will take new steps towards holiness today.  Lord, I believe that each listener wants to be a part of that spotless and Holy Church that you are coming back for.  Please help us all to heed your call and be doers of the Word. In Jesus’ Holy name I pray. Amen

Have a Blessed week in the L-rd and remember, Jesus Loves You!
