this is the prob. you religious black ppl waiting for something "magical" to happen instead of coming together and realizing economics is only gonna give us power

we're the most religious and we'd rather group our money to the church instead of grouping it to own businesses. starting with the ones in our neighborhoods

Here's my thing though-people always say that Egyptians were meticulous record keepers, and since they didn't mention Israel in hieroglyphs allegedly, then they couldn't have possibly have been slaves there. This doesn't stand a few common sense questions 1) if you kept a people as slaves, why would you need to document exactly WHO your slaves are? You obviously have them in an inferior position to you, so why would it be documented? They aren't looked at to be important 2) The Most High destroyed Egypt and Pharoah's army who pursued the Israelites, so why would the Egyptians want something as embarrassing as this in their records? I would think it would be a part of history they would want to forget. Not to mention, this ignores the fact that Pharoah's chariot wheels were found in the Red Sea which lends great credibility to the parting of the Red Sea story.

They were great record keepers but there is no record of jews being there. But this brings my point of the Hyksos who brought chariots to Egypt at the time and left after being kicked out.

Back to the OP....the prophecy concludes Blacks and Native Americans. Deuteronomy fits perfect of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This also fits for Native Americans who were enslaved abroad and in elsewhere.

I dont believe it was beat into them (not talking about Islam/Christianity).

That also doesnt mean they were Hebrews either. But no matter who they were, I dont think what they received was simply for them .

The orishas? Gods of the water, harvest etc...?
if i were to be religious, i would much rather trust my own ancestors and the religious cosmology that more explicitly addresses me and my needs. if you are talking about judaism, that never was a common religion throughout west africa where most of the slave diaspora comes from, so in my opinion, it is very irrelevant to us and our future. that's a religion for semites. the history of semites has nothing to do with the destiny of west africans.

The Kingdom of Israel (and Judah) was established in the 10th Century BCE.

That 'prophecy' was the authors of Deuteronomy and the rest of the Pentateuch establishing why they'd gone through the occupation by Egypt in the centuries prior to it's establishment.​

The question is immaterial since it is based on that verse being a prophecy. It isn't a prophecy.

It's history.​

So if Canaan and Philistine was there why is only Israel important to name again? You aren't getting it. This has nothing to do with history but self-made prophecies. Two of those kingdoms were separate and smaller than the state created in 1948. Even the map of both kingdoms show them to be small and don't fit the whole region of the land. Nice try.

You're not understanding because you don't want to. The verses quoted are not prophecies. They are history. The Israelites WERE Canaanites and wrote Deuteronomy in the 10th Century BCE. The verse quoted has to do with the Kingdom of Israel as it existed THEN and how it came to be. The whole story continues up to 1 & 2 Kings. It has absolutely nothing to do with the present day.

My question still unanswered.
