Shalom Tallahassee and to all of the surrounding areas and to my Internet listeners. Thank you for tuning into my show today. I pray that you will be mightily blessed by the Words I speak to you this Sabbath day.

This show is a Messianic Jewish teaching which means that I teach from a Christian Jewish perspective. What is unique about my show is that I am African American and am teaching other African Americans and Black people around the world about something that most of us have known nothing about…our Hebrew, Israelite, and Jewish Heritage. In addition to that, I teach the truth about the ethnic identity of Jesus the Christ whom I often refer to as Yeshua. I teach that Yeshua was a Black African Negroid man when He was here in the physical form over 2000 years ago.

Teaching and learning these truths has been very liberating for me as well as others that I have spoken to. Yeshua himself told us in John 8: 32 that the Truth shall make us free. The world has basically been living a lie about the ethnic identity of Yeshua. The Church has bared false witness about the L-rd and we are commanded in the Ten Commandments written in the book of Exodus and in other verses, not to bear false witness. Now, as we are coming into the biblical knowledge of the truth about Yeshua and His Covenant people; Black people, who are descendants of the original Jewish people, it is a sin to continue the falsehood.

What I teach with biblical confirmation is that Black people throughout the world are Jewish. We are the descendants of the original Jewish people, the Hebrews or the Israelites. This has happened because of the mixing of the Blood of Africans and the Negroid African Israelites from the beginning of the Israelite people throughout the centuries until this day. This truth makes Black people today G-d’s covenant people whom G-d chose as His own treasure along with others of different nationalities whom G-d recognizes as Jewish today.

Some Black people who I have spoken and taught these truths to have been somewhat accepting of it however, they seem to have a hesitation in the thought that we, Black people would be given such an honor of being called the Covenant people, the Chosen people of G-d. Concerning that I first want to say that it was G-d’s election, G-d’s choice that He would choose a certain people to be His people. As we are coming into the truth that we the Black people are those people, we must accept that truth humbly.

There have been several comments to me from Black people in which they have immediately told me that “You know, G-d is no respecter of persons.” They say this because they are telling me that we, Black people are no more special in G-d’s eyes than any other race of people or persons.

My reply to them and anyone else who chooses to say this is, “you are right, G-d is no respecter of persons,” which means to me that He has not put any others in a more special position then Black people either, which has always seemed to be the case in life. As for anyone who has a problem with calling any elect group of people G-d‘s chosen people, they need only to read the Torah, which are the first 5 books of the Bible, to get the complete story and history of G-d’s chosen people and that He did indeed choose an elect group of people, the Israelites, whom were African people, as His Chosen people.

However, as I have said, we, the Black race who are coming into the knowledge and understanding of these truths and embracing them, must come solemnly and humbly before the L-rd because with these truths comes the sins of our ancestors which have caused us as a people to suffer in the ways that we have all of our history.

It was our people, the Jewish people of Yeshua’s time who insisted that Our L-rd, our Savior, our King and our G-d, be Crucified. That fact all by itself is enough to send us to our knees and to ask forgiveness for the past sins of our people and ourselves.

Going further back in time, it was our people who were so disobedient to our G-d, Jehovah G-d, the One true G-d, that it took us 40 years to go through a desert that should have only taken us 2 weeks to go through. While we were traveling through G-d showed us many, many miracles so that we would know who He was and that He was the One and only True G-d. However, we continued in our disobedience and every chance we got for any old reason, we would turn to foreign gods that were made of gold and other things. We wined, murmured and complained all of the time.

It was our people who went so far as to sacrifice our children to false god’s which was a detestable heartbreaking thing to our G-d.

There are many other very disobedient things that our people did that turned G-d’s affection away from us. So as we realize these new found truths of who we are…who our people really are, the descendants of the Hebrew people making us Jewish people, let us remain forever humble about it.

G-d wants us to know Him now like we have not ever known him before. He wants us to know Him in the way that He was originally trying to establish in our people all those many centuries ago. G-d did turn His affection away from us to punish us and we still see that punishment upon Black people today; however, this punishment was only to last for a certain amount of time and we as a people have now come to the end of that transgression.

Because we have served our punishment, G-d now wants His people back. He wants us fully and wholly turned towards Him. He wants to restore our people and our land.

In order for these things to happen we must come into the knowledge of who we are and come into obedience to our King, the L-rd Yeshua. Yes, we are saved. Many, many Black people claim salvation and profess Yeshua as their L-rd. However, the things that I am talking about and teaching you is going beyond salvation. I am talking about going to the next level in your Christian faith. I am talking about entering into holiness that we have not known, but that G-d now wants us to know and enter into. He wants us to be the Holy people He originally intended for us to be. We will only get there by learning who we are and the L-rd’s commands for us for this day and time.

When Yeshua came to earth the first time, He originally came to His own people. However, we did not accept Him. He came to redeem us but we turned our backs on Him. We could not believe the manner in which such a lowly man came to earth and claimed that He was the Son of G-d sent here to redeem Israel. We wanted a stronger leader who would overthrow the Roman government. So we did not believe Him.

Those of us who claim to be Christians; let us take a serious look at our lives and determine that we will heed Yeshua’s call for His people today. Let us determine that we will listen and obey. Let us strive for the holiness that Yeshua wants in His people today. We can do this by continuing to learn who we are. As we learn more about our Hebrew, Jewish heritage, then we will learn that there are certain days and customs that were established especially for our people to observe forever that would create a holy people.

As you continue to tune into this broadcast, I will be teaching you about these certain days and customs. One such day is today, the Sabbath. This day was given to you, my Black brothers and sisters as a Holy day to observe forever. You may read about the Sabbath days throughout the Torah, particularly in the books Exodus and Leviticus.

The book of Romans surely tells the Black race clearly what is happening to our people today. It tells us that we are being grafted in again. It tells us that we are being grafted into out own olive tree. What that means to the Black race of people is that we had been excluded from the rites of our Jewish heritage because of our disobedience. However, the scripture says that if we did not continue in our disobedience, we would be grafted in again for G-d is able to graft us in again. Hallelujah. This is what is happening today. Because our transgressions have been lived out and atoned for, G-d is grafting us back into our own Jewish heritage. Please read about this with me in Romans chapter 11. We will read verses 11-24.

So…we are being grafted in again. There is so much to all of this and its relationship to Yeshua’s return to earth and these latter days that we are living in. The things that I teach were and are prophesied to happen by the Old Testament Prophets. The things that the Scripture tells us such as that G-d was going to one day restore His people who had fallen from grace, is coming into fruition in today’s time. I am here to tell you that it is you my Black brothers and sisters who are those chosen people of G-d who had fallen from grace and are now being restored today.

We must come into the understanding of who we are. We may not see the fullness of this restoration in our life times but we do have descendants coming after us. This new understanding of who we are as the Jewish people will affect our children and our grandchildren and all of our families that come after us. It is they who will be the recipients of a better life on earth with the full knowledge of who they are and what their relationship to Yeshua the Christ is. Those of us who are preaching and teaching about this right now are laying the ground work of what is to come after us.

Having said that, I want to also caution my listeners of the fact that as we are coming into this new understanding of our Hebrew, Jewish heritage we need to be careful about who and what we follow concerning this. Knowledge is certainly being increased today as the prophet Daniel prophesied would happen and there are many things coming forth concerning Black Hebrews. There are many Black Hebrew, Israelite, Jewish groups of people springing up everywhere throughout the US and possibly the world. Many of them, as they are being enlightened, feel that they have also been terribly deceived by other races of people so then they basically want to purge themselves of all that they have learned about Jesus and Christianity.

Many of them throw out the New Testament and/or diminish the Deity of Christ. When they do that, they are as guilty as our people were back in Yeshua’s, Jesus’ day. They are no better then the Pharisees and the Sadducees who were prominent Black Jewish leaders who rejected Jesus Christ, Yeshua way back then. They are essentially doing the same thing and making the same mistake that the Black Jewish people made back then. They are crucifying the L-rd all over again.

Our L-rd Yeshua has impressed upon me to trust the Holy Scriptures, the Bible that we have been taught from, the Old and New Testament. It can be the original text or the King James Version or other translations of the original text; however, this is the Word of G-d. The Holy Bible is the G-d breathed scriptures that G-d has given us. He says in His word not to add to or take away from this Word. We, the Black race may not like it that the Scriptures were taught to us in a slanted way, however, our whole story is written in those Scriptures regardless of which translation we read; we need only to understand it and the why’s and the how’s of the way things have happened. I assure you that there are clear answers in the Holy Bible about all that concerns the Black race as a people.

Secondly, we must continue to trust, hold on to and believe in Jesus Christ, Yeshua. I was raised, as most of us were, to call Him Jesus and that is ok; however, as I am coming into more of the knowledge of His name, I prefer to call Him Yeshua. It is well with the L-rd if we call Him Jesus or Yeshua or any of the names that refer to Him. He will honor that.

We must continue to know that He is G-d’s only Son and the Savior of all mankind and that He died for the sins of all people on earth so that through Him, all who come to Him may receive eternal life. We must continue to trust in His Deity, and that He is G-d and that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him and Him alone. He is the only Christ, There are no others; however, scripture tells us that many false Christ’s will rise up in these latter days.

We must hold fast to our Christian upbringing and understanding even as we are becoming enlightened about our Hebrew ancestry. We must remember that Yeshua, Jesus Himself was also a Hebrew, Jewish person…He was like us and He is not only the L-rd of L-rd’s and the King of Kings… He is our L-rd and our King. He came to earth because of us. Why should we deny Him now that we are coming into the understanding of our Hebrew ancestry? It is more cause to embrace Him.

The revelation knowledge that we are receiving today about our Hebrew ancestry was meant to be understood in today’s time. Let us not place blame on anyone about the deception that we have experienced but instead, let us seek the L-rd Yeshua for understanding of why and where we go from here. Do not be deceived. If a group of Black Hebrew Israelites is throwing out your whole Christian upbringing and denying or diminishing the deity of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, then that is not where G-d wants you. G-d is only adding to your knowledge as a Christian…not replacing it. Amen.
