shyt got destroyed with those conquest point blank. It was a wrap when Jerusalem got got. A lot of those ancient empires' history was whipped out and to the victor go the spoils. We know very little about the Phoenicians and Mesopotamians because of this as well. Egypt is an exception because folks have been trying to white wash it for centuries instead of blotting it out. And its no coincidence that there was and is a conscientious effort to erase the slaves history and conceal the truth from the ancestors
From the book HEBREWISM OF WEST AFRICA By Joseph J Williams:
- Not exactly sure what you mean by this. Was there a particular event you are referencing with Hebrews and Spaniards?
- From Tacitus the famous Roman historian, he was trying to ascertain the origin of the Hebrews (109 AD) after they seized Jerusalem wrote Many, again, say that they were a race of Ethiopian origin, who in the time of king Cepheus were driven by fear and hatred of their neighbours to seek a new dwelling-place. Hmmm why is that can possibly be of Ethopian origin? Cant rule out maybe they were black as well.
- The Hebrews were the ones being enslaved. The persecution of the Romans, the Arab slave trade popped off, Eventually the Europeans joined the fun with assistance from some indigenous african tribes. Just like the curses of Deuteronomy and Leviticus foretold.
- &5 In my last post I touched on this. This construct of black we have today didnt exist then. No different from how all Native Americans are locked up into one homogeneous group while to them there were differences in in the tribes and nationality despite how outsiders lumped them together. Despite this many of the tribes of West Africa practice Hebrew customs today. Many share linguistics with Hebrews hell look at the Ashanti...
**Had to shorten this, cause I went over the character limit in my reply.**
Some say that the Jews were fugitives from the island of Crete, who settled on the nearest coast of Africa about the time when Saturn was driven from his throne by the power of Jupiter. Evidence of this is sought in the name. There is a famous mountain in Crete called Ida; the neighboring tribe, the Idaei, came to be called Judaei by a barbarous lengthening of the national name. Others assert that in the reign of Isis the overflowing population of Egypt, led by Hierosolymus and Judas, discharged itself into the neighboring countries. Many, again, say that they were a race of Ethiopian origin, who in the time of king Cepheus were driven by fear and hatred of their neighbors to seek a new dwelling-place. Others describe them as an Assyrian horde who, not having sufficient territory, took possession of part of Egypt, and founded cities of their own in what is called the Hebrew country, lying on the borders of Syria. Others, again, assign a very distinguished origin to the Jews, alleging that they were the Solymi, a nation celebrated in the poems of Homer, who called the city which they founded Hierosolyma after their own name. Most writers, however, agree in stating that once a disease, which horribly disfigured the body, broke out over Egypt; that king Bocchoris, seeking a remedy, consulted the oracle of Hammon, and was bidden to cleanse his realm, and to convey into some foreign land this race detested by the gods.
Manethonian. The Jews of the three centuries following the time of Manetho were naturally keenly interested in his History because of the connexion of their ancestors with Egypt — Abraham, Joseph, and Moses the leader of the Exodus ; and they sought to base their theories of the origin and antiquity of the Jews securely upon the authentic traditions of Egypt. In Manetho indeed they found an unwelcome statement of the descent of the Jews from lepers
During the 1490s, trade with the New World began to open up. At the same time, the monarchies of Spain and Portugalexpelled all of their Jewish subjects. As a result, Jews began participating in all sorts of trade on the Atlantic, including the slave trade.
yo I don't have time for semantics. I go by scripture....and scripture states that the OG people were like 'fine brass', ruddy (which I have proven means reddish brown-darkskinned) with woolly hair. I don't care what country you were born in, I don't care what culture you practice, I don't care what set you claim...if that fits your description YOU ARE A BLACK PERSON. Just because they were 'mixed' doesn't mean they aren't black...heck every black person in America is mixed with something...but we are still considered BLACK.
Until you can show me a white person whose visage darkens like coal when sick and malnutritioned...I have no choice but to believe what the Word Says. Until you can find some way to twist that word, manipulate it to mean something else that makes sense...i have no choice but to believe THIER FACE/visage and or appearance was black. You are going to have a time dealing with this word. It will bother you all day and night because deep down you know those folks described in that bible were black folks. You can laugh, get daps, joke...I don't care because I am standing firm to what scripture says.
Lamentations 4:8 will haunt you every time you spew this faulty logic of the word.
Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

I'm not saying every jew fit that description...but the people that were described in the bible....did.

all of these images support the adjectives that are used to describe the children of Israel at one point in time in the bible.
I do not claim them and if you reference the Jewish guys involved in Slavery...you should do it right. Anything after 740AD and even once the Romans came and crushed Jerusalem I don't really deal with too much because something happened to that religion at that time. It was confiscated, translated, and used for power by people who weren't the OG Hebrews. More than likely these guys were the descendants of pharisees and scribes whom Jesus had major problems with during his day since they 'claimed' to be of royal stock. These are the same people who said 'their people had never been in bondage' yet claimed to be from the seed of Israel
John 8:33
King James Version (KJV)
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jesus chided them for that & then NAMED who their father was
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
accept the word or not...the word is the WORD
and here they are doing the work of their ungodly father...
So my question to you is... if these Scribes and Pharisees who are descendants of Abraham but not of Jacob; who are they descendants of?
What's funny about the scripture is the Jews were speaking literally while Jesus meant spiritually...but what does the Scribes & Pharisees mean when they say they were never in bondage when its clear that Moses, a descendant of Abraham..lead the Hebrews out of bondage in Egypt?
This shyt right here makes no sense at all. No noting matters....except your own baseless qualifications.
I
Those two people look nothing alike. Only thing they have in common is skin color. Stop.
At least we know why you don't leave the crib.
Man, that metropcs swag is crazy.
A PINK CASE????
"The Most High is going to destroy you!"

I never claimed that...the JEWS in the BIBLE said that...not me. I just use the scripture since you have no way to refute the word, all you can do is laugh & make more confusion.But since you claim they weren't in bondage or going through persecution.
their hair is both woolly as well
These aren't 'my' qualifications...this is what the BIBLE states.
you're just upset because you know its true. If you believe science and that everyone derived from Africans then common sense would tell you that Adam (& yes those reddish brown darkskinned men that look like him) is the original people that is spoken of in the bible. This is God's image, this is what he made out of 'miry clay'
I think I get what makes you so upset...you don't want to be considered black awww... a self hater
its okay God loves you too friend.

as for this Czar and his obsession of 'lepers' The Hebrews described people as lepers as well. So lets look at what the word leper means...
1. (Medicine / Pathology) a person who has leprosy
2. a person who is ignored or despised
Now if you want to get into reason 1. or the color of skin and how biblical leprosy turned people white...then we must admit from the hieroglyphs & the biblical evidence that the Hebrews were a reddish, brown darkskinned people (with fros) in order for the curse or Moses/miracle to be effective.
lets take a look at whites with Leprosy
where's the miracle in this?
If God wanted to prove a point...he'd do it and it wouldn't look like that.
now this... I would shake in my boots
the word is so true...its not my fault get made at God or do what Job's wife said
their hair is both woolly as well

Everybody did not "derive from Africans," but everybody has their origins in Africa, white people included. The people living in Africa today look the way they do for the same reasons people living elsewhere look the way they do. You look at things through a racial lens and then try to lecture people about the "lord," and the "word," it just makes you look slimy.
It isn't earth shattering information that the personalities talked about in the Bible were dark skinned....that's common sense....but that doesn't mean they were Black Africans.
How am I a "self-hater" for identifying with what I actually am? If you want to call me "black" based on my physical characteristics, I have no problem with that. But if you want me to consider myself "black" in the sense that I'm an African then that's not going to happen because the very idea is ridiculous.
You want to know what self hate is? Self-hate is Black Americans wanting to identify with Israelites, Egyptians, Native Americans, Indians....all that shyt that you have no real connection to whatsoever. You over here in this thread tag-teaming with a guy who believes that God is going to help him enslave Africans in the future and you want to accuse ME of self-hate?
