The church, an institution to whose doctrines our ancestors were brutally converted was the key instrument in the agitation and evocation of anti-Black sentiments and the de-spiritualization and de-culturalization of Africans. This diabolical mind was even expressed in official church documents that were somewhat considered sacrosanct. Church doctrinal promulgations were made on this. The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, well known as the Mormons, is an example of this practice.
“The Negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned, particularly the priesthood and the temple blessings that flow therefrom…”
-Mormon Doctrine, 1966, p.527.
This is a religious dogma, a statement of faith. This is what religion can do, it can motivate people to press into action their evil inclinations, it gives you that kind of latitude. Is not the current mundane and degenerate state of the Black race a substance of what Europeans thought and believed about them? Their evil beliefs about us were so enormous, at such a height that we, having been hated for so long, ended up hating ourselves. We believed what our adversaries believed about us and made ourselves easily permeable and pregnable to ideas and substances aimed and leveled at our annihilation.
Sitting up in that church singing ‘whiter than snow I long to be’ with an inferiorating frame of mind, you know what an African has been visualizing. It is when a wishful thinking to become a white man is being entertained thus deepening the psychological feeling of inferiority in our people. Where we have been seeking spiritual uplifting has actually been were we have been dispirited.
One can trenchantly refer to this as an implementation by Europeans, of a tenacious policy made to convince you my black brother that being yourself was the problem. Because of cultural arrogance on the part of Europeans and spiritual and mental debilitation on our part as Africans, there rose a need among Europeans for the reconfiguration of how we conceptualized the idea of God and how we saw ourselves before and in relation to God. Africans saw God in their own image and likeness. God was everything in everything we laid our hands on – we did not need a religion to know and understand him. God was reflected in our lived experience.
Most probably, there was a threat to Europeans in their contemplation of world dominion, for when it came to Africa they found a spiritually all encompassing social system that was developing in harmony with the Creator. So, the reconfiguration of the African image of God was imperative. They had to unteach us and give us a substitute god, substitute law and substitute priests.
Liberating the Bible from captivity of religious vernacular and theological constructs, and setting out on the way to restore it back to Historical vernacular, taking politics out of secularism into spirituality, the rise of the Europeans to hegemony and the demise of the African glory is to be understood and dissected prophetically. It was the rise of the enemies of Truth and the demise of the sons of Light, the beginning of an era that is, in the Bible, prophetically termed famine, with the introduction into the world, of a mundane and hedonistic anti-God mind.
A pre-figured medieval character of the messiah that gave credence to Europeans was preached to and embraced by most Africans, and the one not even according to the African Hebraic understanding in the prophetic definition. You’ve got to see the strikingly remarkable parallels between our (African) history and what ancient Hebrew Israelite prophets of the Bible said was to happen to the Israelites.
Go through, among others, the Biblical prophecies found in the scriptural references cited below, study African History, and in it try to find events and occurrences you may attribute to or deem paralleling with these prophecies. It is the scriptures, read with a mind liberated from religious thought shackles, through which one can be able to reflect on our past, present and project on our potential future and aqcuire a spiritually insightful analysis in seeking to reconnect the now afflicted and debased Africans to their true history and former glory.
“Thy sons and daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long: and there shall be no might in their hand”
Deuteronomy 28:32.
Remember the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in the 16th century? How did the African Diaspora come about? Which other people do you know of, in history, to have been taken from their indigenous land to a foreign land as slaves? If the people who are called Israelites in the Bible have our present white Jewish people as their descendants, how come their history in sequence of events has no prophetic affinity to the Biblical Israelites? If there is not an explanation to this, then we are left with the mystery of African history’s striking parallels with and prophetic affinity to the Bible.
Could Africans have by any chance been fooled into believing the scripture (Bible) is not their book but their adversaries’? Who said "THE BIBLE IS THE WHITE MAN'S BOOK?” Is it the same one who taught that ancient Egyptians were Caucasians (Europeans)? Don't you understand that's what he wants you to think? He wants you to accept as true the lie that you or your people are infidels, “Kaffirs” and have no relationship with the creator and no hand in that great manuscript, the Bible. He wants you to believe that he is the chosen one, and sadly you believe him.
If it is true that the current inhabitants of Israel are the true Jews and their occupation of Arab Palestine is prophetic; where is the messiah in their midst that the prophets said would get them there?
The following is the restoration plan as prophetically mapped out.
“I shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land”.
-Ezekiel 37:14
“And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments and observe my statutes. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt…my servant David shall be their prince forever”.
Ezekiel 37:24, 25
“It was Ralph Bunche who “negotiated” the Zionists into possession of Occupied Palestine! Is Ralph Bunche the messiah of Zionism? If Ralph Bunche is not their messiah, and their messiah is yet to come, then what are they doing in Palestine ahead of their messiah?”
-Malcolm X: The Zionist Logic in ‘The Egyptian Gazzette – Sept. 17, 1964
What an important and relevant question asked! It becomes clear that according to the prophecy, Jews who were to return to the land were to, let alone the prophetic requirement of the presence of the messiah in their midst, fully understand and keep the laws of the Creator. Unlike Jews who are in the land today, the majority of them are pagans and atheists. This is not anti-Semitic; this is anti-counterfeit Semitism if the reader believes the words of the prophets.
“Behold, I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold I make them to come and worship before thy feet, and know that I have loved thee”.
-Revelation 3:9
There is great deception about the identity of the true Jews, and the one that seems to have paid great dividends to the deceiver. What is interesting to this is that there seems to be something spectacular about being a Jew. What could it be? Why don’t they lie about being Hindus, Muslims, Christians and so forth.
The following scriptural references will perhaps shed the light to my beloved reader as to the significance of knowing and identifying the true Jews.
“He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel (and not Buddhists). He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them”. (Brackets mine)
-Psalm 147:19, 20
“And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau: and the Kingdom shall be the LORD’s”.
-Obadiah 21
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; in those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew (and not a Christian). Saying, we will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you”. (Brackets mine)
-Zechariah 8:23
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews (and not Muslims)”. (Brackets mine)
-John 4:22
I found this article very insightful. I am happy you brought up the issue of indoctrination by religious dogma. We had a God way before the colonizer came and gave us his. Africans knew what was right in the eyes of the Most High and now we have lost all sense of morality and humanity yet religion is on the rise. Why is religion not solving the moral degeneration dilemma? How many religious denominations are there in the world? There is a tent on every corner in the townships yet our people are more poverty stricken that they have ever been in history. I am talking about spiritual poverty. It is time for us to move away from religion and move closer to righteousness.
