the true house of israel

The nation of Israel descends from the Biblical patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Jacob's name was changed to Israel. The nation of Israel comprises of twelve tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin) who are each descendant from each of Israel's (Jacob) twelve sons. From this nation come the ancient Hebrew prophets and kings, such as Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. The children of Israel were chosen by the Most High God, YHWH, to be His special people and to be priests to all nations. Israel was given an inheritance by YHWH which included His Law (Torah) and a land (which includes modern-day Israel). The subject of God's chosen people has caused many peoples throughout the centuries to claim to be of the nation of Israel or in extreme cases "spiritual Israelites" in order to receive the blessings and benefits of being such. The thought of God's chosen people have also become cause for many people to despise the nation of Israel.

Through study of the Holy Scriptures as well as research in the sciences (archeology, anthropology, etc) it has been determined that the true ancient Hebrew Israelites and the chosen people of God are the so-called "Black" or "Negro" people. The term, "so-called", is used because in ancient times people were not classified by skin color but by tribe and nation. Johann Fredrich Blumenbach, a German naturalist and anthropologist, divided humanity on the basis of skin color. He classified five chief races of mankind: the Caucasian, the Mongolian, the Ethiopian, the American Indian, and the Malayian. His classification set up a color line, to the detriment of later generations.

The dispersion of "Black" people through means of the slave trade throughout the world coincides with the notion of the "lost" tribes of Israel who will once again reclaim their heritage.

.For centuries, Hebrew Israelites have been depicted throughout the world as Caucasian people, better known to the world as Jewish people or Israelis. It wasn't until men such as, Father Saunders Crowdy, Rabbi W.A. Mathews, Rabbi Arnold J. Ford, The Noble Drew Ali, The Honorable Elijah Muhammed, Marcus Garvey and J.A Rogers began to teach about the true color (race) of the ancient peoples of the Bible that some "Negroes" began to disregard the false perception of these Biblical and historical figures as Caucasians and accepted the reality of them being "Black". Although many religious leaders, historians, scholars and archeologists try to deny this fact, the Holy Scriptures provides evidence of the ancient Hebrew Israelites being a "Black" people.

Present day Jewish people are mainly European, descendants of Japhet (one of Noah's sons) not Semitic (descendants of Shem, another of Noah's sons). Gomer, the first son of Japhet was ancestor to the first Cimmerians and later Cimbri, including other offshoots of the Celtic family, and of the other present day Gaels of Ireland, Scotland, and the Hebrides Islands. Japhet's second son, Magog, is whom Flavius Josephus said the Greeks called Scytians. Japhet's third son, Madai, is the father of Medes who were located at the southern part of the Caspian Sea and later united with the Persians to form one race. From Javan, Japhet's fourth son, came the Ionians and all of the Greeks. Japhet, the fifth son, is associated with Javan (Isaiah 66:19). Meshech and Tubal (Ezekiel 32:26 and 39:1) are nations of the north. Josephus identified the descendants of Tubal with the early Iberians; they were the inhabitants of the territory between the Caspian Sea and Euxine Seas, which is Georgia in southern Russia. The last son of Japhet was Tiras, the father of the Thracians whose land, Thrace, was located north of Turkey, Asia Minor, and north east of Greece. Japhet's grandson, Ashkenaz, formed the German race. By 378 C.E., the Germanic tribes were on the move and known by the names: Lombards, Burgundians, Franks, Saxons, Angles, Juts, Ostrogitsh, Wisgoths, Suevis and Vandals. These ten Germanic tribes settled over Western Europe and intermingled with modern nations of that area as we know them today.

Now regarding the children of Israel, let us review the facts:
In the book of Genesis, Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, was captured and sold into slavery by his ten elder brothers. In Egypt, Joseph, by the will of God, rose to prominence and became the viceroy in Egypt, second to Pharaoh. Years later, Joseph's ten elder brothers came into Egypt to by grain because of a famine. All people who came into Egypt had to buy grain from Joseph. When Joseph's brothers came to Egypt they did not recognize him.

"And Joseph was the governor over the land, and it was he that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brothers came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them; and he said to them, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. And Joseph knew his brothers, but they knew not him." - Genesis 42:6-8

Joseph's brothers did not recognize him as their brother because his immediate physical appearance did not look different from any other Egyptian of the land. He appeared the same as the Egyptians, who were "Black" people 

In the book of Exodus, the Pharaoh of Egypt declared an edict to cast all Hebrew male infants into the river in order to avoid any probable future uprising by the Israelites. Moses' mother and sister hid him in a basket and placed it upon the river. Pharaoh's daughter came down to the river to wash herself and she saw the baby within. Pharaoh's daughter knew that the baby was a Hebrew and she adopted him. Moses was raised up as and thought to be an Egyptian by Hebrews and Egyptians alike. During this time period "Black" Egyptians enslaved "Black" Israelites.

Also, similar to Joseph's case of mistaken identity, Moses was also mistaken as an Egyptian by the daughters of the priest of Median.
"Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you are come so soon today? And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock." - Exodus 2:16-19

And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you are come so soon today? And they said, An Egyptian man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock." - Exodus 2:16-19

Moses

Also in the book of Exodus, chapter four, God prepares Moses for his meeting with Pharaoh. One of the acts of power that Moses was to perform before the children of Israel as proof of his divine appointment as God's representative was a leprous hand.
"And YHWH said furthermore to him, 'Put now your hand into your bosom.' And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. And He said, 'Put your hand into your bosom again.' And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh." - Exodus 4:6-7

Leprosy is one of the most amazing phenomena of the Old Testament which in one of its states, human skin turns white. The significance of the sign was changing a "black" hand into a "white" hand and restoring the "white" hand back to its original color.

In his book, 100 Amazing Facts About The Negro (With Complete Proof), J. A. Rogers states under fact No.29:
"The Mohammedans believe that Moses was a black man. Their Bible, The Koran says so. God told Moses to put his hand into his bosom. The Koran says that it came out white. The commentators declare that Moses' hand could not have been white before, and that the miracle Jehovah intended was making the black hand white, and then turning it black again. The Septuagint, or Greek Bible, agrees with the Koran."

There are also other historical and literary sources that provide such evidence and support the fact that the ancient Hebrew Israelites were "Black". Tacticus, a Roman historian of 90 A.D., said that the Romans of his day popularly believed that the Jews came from Ethiopia, the land of the Blacks. According to Greek historians Homer and Herodotus, the inhabitants of the following territories were Ethiopians: The Sudan, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Western Asia, and India which would include the Shemetic Israelites who inhabited the lands of Egypt and Palestine.

Rogers again states:
"The earliest Jews were in all probability, Negroes. Abraham, their ancestor, is said to have come from Chaldea and the ancient Chaldeans were black."

These facts also prompted a known Arabic leader by the name of Gamal Abdan Nassir to publicly protest the Jewish occupation and control of Palestine in the 1950's by stating:
"You will never be able to live here in peace because you left here Black and now you have returned white. We cannot accept you."

Through ancient and historical sources, it has been revealed that Ancient Hebrew Israelites were a "Black" people. However, all "Black" people in the world are not Hebrew Israelites and therefore further explanation and evidence is needed to prove that the so-called "Negro" of the Diaspora throughout North American, the Caribbean and beyond is the nation of Israel.

In the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 28, the Most High God reveals to the children of Israel the curses that would befall them if they were to disobey His commandments.

"You will beget sons and daughters but you will not enjoy them; for they will go into captivity." - Deuteronomy 28:41

During the Atlantic slave trade, many children were bought and sold at the whim of Caucasian slave masters. These slaves found themselves in different states, countries and continents separated from their families forever. Because the emotional attachment of "Negro" families in no way superseded the economic benefit of the slave masters, it was a natural occurrence for children who were born slaves to be sold away from their families.

"The stranger that is in the midst of you will get up above you very high; and you will come down very low. He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him, he will be the head and you will be the tail." - Deuteronomy 28:43-44

Because the peculiar institution called slavery was based upon color, "Black" oppression was much more lucrative and beneficial to Caucasian slave masters. According to Lerone Bennett, Jr. in his book "Before the Mayflower",
-"The rulers of the early American colonies were not overly scrupulous about the color or national origin of their work force. Indian slavery was tried and abandoned. Many masters attempted to enslave white men and white women. When these attempts failed, the spotlight fell on the Negro. He was tried and he was found not wanting. Why were Negroes more acceptable than poor whites and poor Indians? White men, for one thing, were under the protection of strong governments; they could appeal to a monarch. White men, moreover, were white; they could escape and blend into the crowd. Indians, too, could escape; they knew the country and their brothers were only a hill or a forest away. Another element in the failure of the Indian slavery was the fact that Indians tended to sicken and die. Negroes did not have these disadvantages. They were strong; one Negro, the Spanish said, was worth four Indians. They were inexpensive: the same money that would buy an Irish or English indentured servant for ten years would buy an African for life. They were visible: they could run, but they could not blend into the crowd. Above all, they were unprotected. And the supply, unlike the supply of Irishmen and Englishmen, seemed to be inexhaustible. The rulers of early America fell to thinking "Why not?"  

Because of the economic benefit of "Black" slavery, "Black" people became a permanent underclass based solely upon the color their skin. This allowed for any Caucasian or non-"Black" to socially and economically surpass the so-called "Negro", regardless of whether or not they were educated or uneducated, criminal or law abiding, or rich or poor. Europeans from all walks of life came to the Americas in an effort to take shelter under the blanket of White supremacy, disregarding their Judeo-Christian morality for the sake of economic achievement. Also, Eastern Europeans immigrants, who were the under-class of their native countries, grew higher in social and economic status when in America because the only pure American under-class was the so-called "Negro". Even today, the lack of Black businesses in Black neighborhoods and the economic exploitation of Blacks by other races and nationalities are a clear reflection of the God's prophecy.

Slavery

"Because you would not serve YHWH your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; therefore you will serve your enemies which YHWH will send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he have destroyed you. YHWH will bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the Earth, which will swoop down like the eagle; a nation whose tongue you will not understand; a nation of fierce countenance, which will not respect the person of the old, nor show favor to the young." - Deuteronomy 28:47-48

The mass majority of so-called "Negroes" arrived in the western hemisphere shackled, with yokes of iron around their necks. The very symbol of America is the bald eagle. "Negroes" were taken from the Eastern Hemisphere and brought to the Western Hemisphere to labor and toil on the plantations of North America ("land of the North"), South America and the Caribbean Isles. It made no difference if you were old or young, male or female; if you were black you were by force a victim of slavery, oppression and the socio-economic order of White supremacy.

"And YHWH will bring you back into Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, 'You will see it no more again': and there you will sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwoman, and no man will buy you." - Deuteronomy 28:68

This Egypt is not referring to the Egypt of North-East Africa. The reference to Egypt is merely a metaphoric representation of bondage, slavery, or captivity. Many of the symbols used in this modern Egypt, called America, are distinct parallels to the symbols of Ancient Egypt. These events have happened only to the so-called "Negro" and West Indian. No other people can take claim or testify to these occurrences. The history of the so-called "Negro" and West Indian in the Americas and the Caribbean is the exact fulfillment of the ancient prophecy of punishment, if they did not obey the Creator. 

Some historians claim that the house of Israel no longer exists. Some say that only "spiritual Israelites" exist, which means that there are only people who are part of the house of Israel by association. This is false because in the book of Jeremiah chapter 31, YHWH states that as long as there is a moon, sun, and stars are in the sky Israel will exist.

"Thus says YHWH, who gives the sun for light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea that its waves roar; YHWH of hosts is His name: If those ordinances depart from before Me, says YHWH, then the seed of Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me forever." - Jeremiah 31:35-36

The true nation of Israel is descendant from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who today are the millions of slaves that were brought from Africa to the Americas. The true nation of Israel is on the comeback and they are restoring the name of the true and living God back in the earth. What is meant by on the "comeback" is that increasing numbers of them are coming into knowledge of themselves and their God.
