YESHUA
Before reading, I must warn you that from my own research, I do not believe that our Savior should be called, “Christ.” I have come to believe that this title, was a gross mis-translation re-created by early Europeans. The name of the Savior is and has always been, “Yehoshua.” He is the true haMoshiach (Hebrew) and in English, “the Messiah,” KING of kings and LORD of lords!
The Trans – Atlantic Slave Trade and Christianity
The Roman Catholic Church has been described as, “the backbone of the slave trade.” It was written, “of most, of the traders and slave ship captains, that they were very ‘good’ Christians.”
Quote:
The “popes and their friends” accepted “gifts” of enslaved Black people shipped from Africa to Rome. Through Transatlantic trafficking, the church systematically extended its influence. European en-slavers baptized millions of enslaved people whose labor they used to amass vast wealth.

Daniel’s Warning
Daniel 7:7 ” that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured it’s victims and trampled under foot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beast, and it had ten horns.
Historically the horns of Daniel became the architects of a commerce system that meta-morphed into the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. A wealth driven inhumane exploit in brutality, which culminated into multiple other historic criminal acts, such as; grand larceny, kidnapping, murder, rape, and sex trafficking. If it were not for GOD’s indelible promise, these demons through the use of their evil traffickers, could have easily caused the complete annihilation of the Yehudah along with other aboriginal groups in and around Africa and many other places in the world.
Indigenous people as well as others, were cruelly uprooted from their homes, millions were killed, others were sold as (chattel slaves) property. They were expelled from their own land, as ruthless invaders laid claim to their inheritance. They seized whatever property, land, and people they desired in order to obtain wealth.
Beginning with Portugal and Spain!
Around 1444, Spain and Portugal, kidnapped and illegally transported thousands of African and Yehudim people to Europe, the Americas and multiple islands scattered upon the Atlantic Ocean. Around 1470 the Portuguese established the Elmina Castle trading post on what they called, “the Slave Coast,” which is present-day Ghana. This event marked the beginning of a long period of European colonization and trade in West Africa. Later around 1526, these captives were shipped as far as Brazil, and Cuba.
Eventually around 1562 the British Empire began to realize how lucrative the slave trade had become for the Spanish and Portuguese and decided to engage in the profitable flesh market as well. All three nations, Spain, Portugal, and the British Empire were regarded as strong Christian nations with ties to the Catholic Church. Although, this evil behavior was practiced under different denominations, all three were devoted to the same Christian doctrine, and the same Christian deity, “Christ.”
Of all the European nations involved in the slave trade, (Spain, Portugal, Britain, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Sweden), it would be Portugal and Britain who would ascend as the most ‘profitable’, accounting for over 70% of captives, transported to the Americas. Because ships could sail with full holds on every stage of their voyage, Britain made large profits for merchants in London, Bristol and Liverpool.
The British Empire emerged as the most dominant of all between 1640 and 1807. In 1807 when slavery was abolished in Europe, the British and the Dutch (Netherlands and Germany) continued to abduct and transport victims. The British Empire transported millions of African and Yehudi people to British colonies in the Caribbean, and in North and South America.
Did you know ?
John Hawkyns, was believed to be the first English slave-ship captain to bring African and Yehudi slaves to the Americas? He was described as a religious man (a Protestant) who insisted that his crew “serve God daily,” and “love one another.”
His ship was called “The Good Ship Jesus,” (Jesus of Lubeck) and was approved by the first Queen, “Elizabeth” in 1562. During his first voyage he kidnapped three hundred Sierra Leonean people. He later transported them as slaves to Spanish plantations in South America, exchanging them for hides, ginger, and sugar. He made four voyages in all, between 1562 and 1569.
Today, men such as Hawkyns, who committed despicable crimes against humanity,’ continue to be celebrated and historically whitewashed.
It was said that John Hawkyns would encourage African and Yehudi people to board his ship, the “Good Ship Jesus,” offering them salvation. But, once inside, victims quickly discovered that instead of finding a spiritual path to heaven, the devil; had deceived them onto a physical path, leading straight to hell. They were immediately seized, forced into submission, and later sold for profit.
Quote:
Protestant clergymen began to defend the institution, invoking a Christian hierarchy in which slaves were bound to obey their masters.

James II (The Brother of the King,)
James II, while Duke of York, oversaw the trading of millions of slaves, through the (RAC), a company founded, and established in the 1660’s by the Royal Stuart family, mainly, King Charles II (his brother).
The Royal African Company (RAC) reached its apex between 1680 and 1686 functioning as a monopolizing powerhouse during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. They were responsible for shipping more slaves to the Americas, then any other slave transport company in the history of the slave trade.
Interesting facts:
The Royal African Company (RAC) was an English mercantile (trading) company, set up in the 1660’s by the Royal Stuart family and the City of London Merchants, to extract and export gold. Their intentions were to trade along the west coast of Africa. However, in 1663 they obtained a new charter, one which included slaves. As I said earlier, the company was led by the Duke of York, James II, son of King Charles I, the Tudor king of England.
Tudor- a derivative of British Celtic Toutoraix, literally meaning, ‘people’ + ‘king‘
King Charles I, was the son of, King James I. King James I, in addition to being grandfather to both James and Charles II, was also the man responsible for publishing the King James Version Bible.
Little known facts:
Queen Elizabeth II (1922-2022) was a descendant of the Royal Stuart family through both her parents. This means that her son, King Charles III (Britain’s current king) is uniquely fated to this treacherous past ; bound in blood, as it was created and upheld by his namesake, Charles II. Both the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the Royal African Company have become his legacy.
Daniel 7:23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.
Who could Daniel be talking about?
The Greek word “shena,” translated as different, in English describes the action of altering; it means to violate, or to damage. This beast would begin to alter, violate and/or damage many things, such as, faith, truth, justice, the laws of GOD, holy days, and lastly, GOD’s people. (We are given a clear warning that it would completely destroy multiple nations, as it slowly devoured the entire earth.) Transforming everything in it’s path into it’s own image and likeness.
Did you know: between 1492 and 1914 Europeans (mostly Christians) under the guise of spreading “Christ,” and discovering new territories either conquered, enslaved or colonized over 80 percent of the entire world?
Quote:
“Spreading their influence across every inhabited continent.” According to Philip T. Hoffman.
Scripture records,
according to Daniel And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. Dan 2:40
Multiple countries were crushed, some completely abolished by this vicious, unrelenting collection of beast nations; who subdued over 80% of the world under the dragon’s influence!
The five countries who were most dominant in the slave trade, were all either Catholic, or of strong (Christian) influence (Spain, Portugal, France, the British Empire, and the Dutch). Switzerland was also involved between the 16th and 19th centuries. Slaves who were baptized and in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church (as opposed to some non-Catholic colonies) were protected from murder.
Religion was also a driving force during slavery in the Americas. Once they arrived at their new locales the enslaved Africans were subjected to various processes to make them more compliant, and Christianity formed part of this. Jan 29, 2007
Religions- Christianity: Atlantic slave trade and abolition- BBC
Were you aware? that German colonial troops in what was known as, (German occupied) Southwest Africa, literally decimated 75 percent of it’s indigenous people, the Herero people?
As the Herero attempted to fight against their German colonizers between 1904 and 1907, over 75 percent of their population were mercilessly decimated.
Black History Rarely Shared
During the time the Yehudim fell under Greek, Persian, and later Roman control, renewed waves of Yehudi refugees including traders and artisans began to set up communities in Egypt, Cyrenaica, Nubia and the Punic Empire, noticeably in Carthage (Tunisia). From Carthage they began to scatter into various historically established, and newly emerging Hebraic communities south of the Atlas mountains near modern day Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon, and the Congo (West Africa). Several Hebraic nomadic groups also moved across the Sahara from Nubia and the ancient kingdom of Kush towards West Africa.
A majority of the people kidnapped during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, were residents of West Africa!!!!
Consequently, the Trans- Saharan Slave Trade ruled by Arab Muslims, mostly Berbers, continued for over thirteen centuries, from the seventh century until the 1960’s.
Daniel 7:24 Its ten horns are ten kings who will rule that empire. Then another king (a Little Horn) will arise, different from the other ten, who will subdue three of them.
Who were these ten horns?
There were ten Germanic tribes who were originally believed to be most effective in the defeat of The Roman Empire. They eventually manufactured and propagated false gospels globally.
These ten tribes were….
1) The Saxons (The English)
2) The Franks (France)
3) The Alamanni (Germany)
4) The Visigoth (Spain)
5) The Suev (Portugal)
6) The Lombards (Italy)
7) The Burgundians (The Swiss)
Eventually (3) tribes were absorbed into the other seven….
8) The Heruli (disappeared 493CE)
9) The Vandals (disappeared 534 CE)
and 10) The Ostrogoth (disappeared in 538 CE)
The eleventh horn (the little horn), rose to become the eighth, through the dissolving of the three previous horns. It is known today, as the Office of the Pope (The Holy See), who leads the world’s largest international religious institution, the Roman Catholic Church.
Daniel 7:8 While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes, like the eyes of man, and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
Words of arrogance, such as…..
“The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…
by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar (representative), the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one,
god himself on earth.”
Quoted in the New York Catechism
Let’s talk about buying and selling!
No one could buy or sell without the mark of the beast, which included his name and his number.
The name of the beast became, “Christos,” once again. His number was given to John by the angel and written in Koine Greek, as “χξϛ,” chi xi stigma, or 666, the infamous six hundred and sixty six in English, but what does all this mean?
The Catholic Church swears up and down, that their mark is, “Sunday,” because they are the ones directly responsible for exchanging the day set in place by GOD HIMSELF.
The Catholic Church exchanged the Shabbat, from Saturday to Sunday. This is what they have repeatedly described as their “mark,” which declares to us that the pope is the “Little Horn.”
Mark is also stigma which is the number 6 in Greek.
Six hundred and sixty six 666
The Christian idol for centuries has remained the cross. Both Christianity and the cross were claimed to be the foundational purpose European men traveled the globe, brutally attacking peaceful aboriginals as well as hunting and enslaving the Yehudim and African people pretending to bring Christ and salvation. By creating a sinister method of torture which Satan disguised as a global trading system, these men brought down upon the Yehuda, the worst persecution imaginable. Please read my blog; “I Lost My Religion When I Found GOD,” where much of this is explained in detail.
Did you know: In Greek the number 600 was also X and was used regularly in the past as an abbreviation for “Christ?” The Greek number 60 or ξ, was also a representative of the word, Xulon, which describes wood. Xulon or Xylon (ξ) represents anything made from wood, which definitely includes “the precious,” or the “Christian Cross.”
The noun ξυλον (xulon) means “piece of wood” and may denote anything from a tooth pick to the cross of Christ.
“χξϛ,” chi xi stigma, 666 is basically name, idol, and mark!
X- (600) name; Christos
ξ- (60) xulon (wood/cross) idol
ϛ- (6) stigma (mark)
Revelation reveals that no one could buy or sell without the mark of the beast, which included his name and his number. (13:17)
The word translated as “could” in English was from the Greek word, dýnamis (dýnamai) meaning “ability, or power.” This revelation tells us that no one held the ability or the power to organize, trade and buy in this particular market, (eluding to the slave trades) except those in full allegiance with the beast (the dragon and his host of representatives). This is how many nations sealed their fates in the past. Unfortunately today they will reap very burdensome curses from the past upon the heads of their own children today; wreaking catastrophic consequences in the present and future.
In the past, this appeared to be an amazing opportunity. A chance to tap into this system of unimaginable wealth. One that would only last the course of a specific time-line (1260 years), and once the time-line expired, this authority (market) they were given excess to through the dragon would suddenly be revoked by GOD. Which it was.
(It appears that both Allah and Christ are fallen angels worshiped for centuries by multiple kingdoms and under different variations of Allah and Christos. Both have been leading their followers onto the same path of destruction, seduced by their insatiable lust for wealth and power.
Incidentally, the Greek word translated as buy (agorazo) derived from agora meaning “marketplace.” In ancient Greek culture the agora was a central public space in city-states, serving as a marketplace.
Matthew 24:21 for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall be;
The Greek word thlipsis that was translated as tribulation, is a word also used to describe, persecution. This quote is saying to the Yehudi people that you will undergo GREAT PERSECUTION, such as has not been from the beginning of your existence until now, nor ever shall be;
Wouldn’t you think that a global slave trade, engaged by multiple countries, working together to build their economies through the trafficking and exploitation of the African and Yehudim people would merit such a time in history? A persecution which lasted generations and spanning throughout multiple centuries? It should register as one of the darkest moments to occur in world history! There is absolutely nothing comparable, by measure in size, scale, depth of cruelty, corruption, or ungodliness.
Two slave trades were initiated and implemented, enduring for centuries. One by European Christians, and the other by Arab Muslims! The Trans Saharan Slave Trade, and the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade were both religions who obtained massive wealth by trading human beings as commodities during the same time-line!
Once converted (Christian) slaves were not worked on Sundays, which afforded them a small sense of relief from the brutality of slavery.
This is yet another confirmation of why so many slaves converted to Christianity. Apparently it was out of exhaustion, anguish, intimidation, and fear.
Capuchin missionaries (Friars speaking out against slavery) were excommunicated for demanding the emancipation of black slaves in the Americas.
Many Yehudim were also transported during the slave trade to work in Catholic colonies in Spain and Portugal.
In 1548 Pope, Pius III confirmed the right of clergy and laity to purchase slaves.
Fredrick Douglass ,
wrote about his former slave owner, Thomas Auld, who became a Christian believer at a Methodist camp meeting. Douglas had harbored the hope that Auld’s conversion, in August, 1832, might lead him to emancipate his slaves, or at least “make him more kind and humane.” Instead, Douglass say’s, If it had any effect on his character, it made him more cruel and hateful in all his ways,” Auld was ostentatious about his piety praying “morning, noon, and night,” participating in revivals, and opening his home to traveling preachers–but he used his faith as license to inflict pain and suffering upon his slaves.
“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Isaiah 28:16 “Therefore this says the LORD GOD: ‘Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. (Yehoshua)
Zion (Hebrew) a mountain in Yerushalayim, representing what will become the Mountain of GOD.
The origin word, for Zion, is tsiyyah, it means dryness and drought, a dry place, or parched land, barren, wilderness. This tells us, that neither the people nor the land are who, or what, the world perceives them to be, for out of this dry and barren space was HIS foundation firmly set.
Southern Christians
Southern White Christianity appear to have emerged from European settlers, advancing exponentially, during the colonization of North America. This happened during a period in time known as, “The Second Great Awakening,” where revivals and religious fervor became a common occurrence. At this time, a great importance was placed on converting as many people as possible into Protestant Christianity.

Christianity’s promotion of Slavery, “Even today, like in the past, “persons who considered themselves to be Christian played a major role in upholding and justifying the enslavement of Africans.”
Dr. Jonathan Chism, assistant professor of history at the University of Houston- Downtown.
Did you know ?
According to Wikipedia, Roman Carthage (Tunisia) would trade Africans as slaves, bringing them across the Sahara as early as the 5th century CE. The Roman Empire even imposed a custom tax on the trading of slaves. Africans were said to be the most coveted as household slaves, in this era, due to their exotic appearance.
Previously before the Holy Roman (Christian) Empire Emerged, the Ancient Romans worshiped the planet Saturn as Helios Christos, later they worshiped it as “Sol,” during the second and early third centuries.
Romans celebrated Saturnalia (Christmas) in remembrance of their pagan god every year. Though revered as the unconquerable sun, it was not the actual sun, they worshiped during this event, but the planet Saturn. Later they integrated sun worship as well, which they referred to as, Sol. Saturn was described as the god of time, generation, dissolution, abundance, wealth, agriculture, and periodic renewal. His name appears in the ancient hymn of the Salian priests, and his temple was the oldest known in the records of the pontiffs.
The Temple of Saturn was an ancient Roman temple at the foot of the Capitoline Hill on the western end of the Roman Forum.
The deity “Helios Christos” worshiped by Romans, was also know as the star of Saturn. Serapis Christus, a combination god, who represented Osiris and Horus was worshiped by Egyptians and ancient Greeks, and represented the planets Jupiter and Saturn. During the time of Yehoshua, there were many Greek worshipers of Serapis. These fallen deities were passed on to the early Germanic tribes of Europe after they defeated the Roman Empire, and assumed their land mass; territories.
Unfortunately, they not only assumed Roman land, but also inherited their creepy, planet gods as well. These evil spirits, Christos/Christus/Chrestos was somehow connected to the Eurasian continent. They have remained the most powerful deities worshiped by their previous occupants. Eventually the new owners came to worship them as well, succumbing to their malevolent influence. The newly christened (dedicated) men, began to travel the earth, seizing upon whomever they chose. They saturated the entire planet in blood and violence, sacrificing literally thousands of souls to their newly discovered gods for the sake of power and money!
By the 19th Century, European men had wholeheartedly assumed the position of the, “unconquerable race,” the one referenced from Thomas Dixon Jr.’s book, “The Clansman.” A position in which catapulted many European white men into a posture of superiority gained through invading territories, stealing land, spilling blood and spreading lies in the name of “power.”
As they continued to paint the world red, in the blood of their victims, they became even more enamored with these ancient gods, re-constructing all their newly acquired territories into societies that mirrored their own. Succumbing more and more to it’s insatiable appetite for power, it’s thirst for blood and it’s need to be idolized. The cross, a representation of it’s powerful presence was placed upon every newly discovered (stolen) territory. Unfortunately, through murder, enslavement, theft, rape, and destruction, these men successfully obtained all that they coveted; and more.
European Conquerors
These so called noble, pietistic men, seized control of at least 84% of the entire world, literally molding and sculpting multiple nations, governments, kingdoms, and islands into ideologies similar to their own. Together they brought into fruition the ascension of GOD’s prophecy found in (Daniel 7:7), Daniels fourth and final beast. The beast, “who rose up,” from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea crushing, shattering, and smashing everything and everyone almost into extinction (residue) .
The first ten horns introduced to us through Daniel represented Germanic kings. Horns who defeated the Roman Empire and laid the foundation for Europe around the 4th century CE. Later between the 5th and 6th centuries three of the ten powerful horns were uprooted (or absorbed) into the remaining seven, as the false prophet (the papacy) rose-up to assume the eighth position. These kings would begin to rule Europe a thousand years each with the anti-messianic beast, as the Holy Roman Empire, beginning around 800 CE (in the West) until Napoleon defeated them in 1806, and the Byzantine Empire (in the East), which rose up around 395 CE, being defeated by the Ottoman Empire around 1495.
Daniel 7: 19-25
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the others which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Unfortunately, this prophecy hasn’t just overwhelmed the earth’s human inhabitants.
The fourth beast has doomed many human cultures into almost extinction, but as a consequence of their new-world capitalistic order, they have led the world through power, trade and money. They have become responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which is causing violent changes in weather, decimating many insect populations. They have hunted many animal species into almost extinction, and caused holes in the ozone layer. Their greed is the cause of deforestation, the oil extraction, dam building and logging that is destroying jungles. They are the cause of lakes to disappearing and even the mass bleaching of over half the coral in the Great Barrier Reef. Destroying even, the earth itself. These people are so obsessed with money and power, they would destroy humanity itself. They would literally destroy their own planet, if it gave them a political advantage and put more money in their pockets.
But, Judgment Is Coming!
Joel 3 : 2 I will gather together all the (Heathen) nations (that were hostile to My people) and bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat (meaning the LORD has judged). And there I will deal with them and enter into judgment with them there for their treatment of My people, My inheritance, Israel whom they have scattered among the nations, and because they have encroached on My land and divided it up.
Quote:
“When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible, and we had the land. They said, ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them, we had the Bibles, and they had the land.”
Desmond Tutu
Revelation 11:18 The nations rage, but YOUR wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding YOUR servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear YOUR NAME, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
Zechariah 12: 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourn for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Interesting the word used to describe come “against” is the Hebrew bo, #935. It would appear that instead of, ‘against,’ it would have been more appropriate to use, “come in,” or “come into,” or even “enter into” Jerusalem.
The passage should read, ” I will seek to destroy all nations who” enter into” Yerushalayim.
How it began
Historically, General Titus (Rome) attacked the Yehudim in 70 CE, burning their temple to ash. This event took place during the Roman/Yehudi wars 66 – 73 CE, 115-117 CE, and 132-136 CE.
Quote:
In regard to the first Roman/ Jewish wars 66-73 CE, Flavius Josephus states, “General Vespasian and his son Caesar Titus fought against the Jews. Millions of Jews (Yehudim) fled into Africa, among other places, fleeing from Roman persecution and starvation during the siege.”
People of Color
Did you know: Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tactitus wrote, ” Many assure us that the Jews are descended from those Ethiopians who were driven by fear and hatred to emigrate from their home country when Cepheus was king. There are some who say that a motley collection of landless Assyrians occupied a part of Egypt, and then built cities of their own, inhabiting the lands of the Hebrews and the nearer parts of Syria” – Tacitus, Histories 5.2-5
Tacitus, wrote about Jews (the Yehuda) in his book, The History, saying, “Many assure us they were a race of Ethiopian origin.” The History, Book V, chapter 2.
Tacitus appeared to be a firm believer in Roman paganism but, he was also a witness from the late first and early second century, who described the Hebrew people as possibly originating from ancient Ethiopia (Africa).
“Many assure us that the Jews (Yehuda) are descended from those Ethiopians who were driven by fear and hatred to emigrate from their home country when Cepheus was king. (According to Greek legend, Cepheus was king of Ethiopia, i.e., the country of the “burnt face people,”
Did you know: Paul was mistaken for an Egyptian, and both Egyptians and Ethiopians were similar looking during this time. We know that Paul’s appearance was the reason his ability to speak Greek was questioned by the guard in Acts 21:37.
As he was about to be brought into the barracks, Paul said to the commander, “Am I allowed to say something to you?” He replied, “You know how to speak Greek?
According to Thomas C. Oden who wrote the book, “The African Memory of Mark” speaking of the apostle Mark, he made these claims….
Oden’s line of argument as follows:
- John Mark, the writer of the third gospel, was born in Cyrene (Libya) in North Africa. He was African.
- Mark’s parents, Aristopolis (Rom 15:10) and Mary (Act 12:12), were wealthy diaspora Jews Yisraelis living in Cyrene, and were members of the tribe of Levi.
- Early in his life, Mark’s parents were forced from Cyrene and moved to Jerusalem where they had a large home with an “upper room” (Acts 12:12).
- Aristopolis and Mary were relatives of Barnabas, who was also a Levite from Cyrene (Acts 4:36), with whom Mark traveled on missionary journeys.
- Mark was a close associate with Peter (1 Peter 5:13), Paul (Philemon 1:24), and Barnabas (Acts 12:25) and is considered the Apostle to Africa.
According to Brown- Driver- Briggs (BDB) The English Lexicon first published in 1906 an Israelite was described as…
Ashchuwr (Ashur)
What does “Ashchuwr” mean?
#806 The word Ashchuwr– Ashur (Ash-khoor) was defined as, “black” Israelite. In Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon.
806a (Ashcur) “black,” an Israelite (Ashcur) an Israelite probably from Shachar; black; an Israelite,
These descriptions seem to imply that darker skin aided in confirming a true Israelite, not disparaging them. According to Strong’s Concordance, the word, “Shachar” from which Ashcur derived was defined as,
“to be black.”
Quote:
“Just think, that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally that it is in the midst of people who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery and questioned whether Black men have the same kind of intelligence as Whites!”
The French historian Count Constantine de Volney, traveled to Egypt and wrote this during the late 1780’s
The word Negro, “black” in Spanish and Portuguese, derived from the Latin word “Niger” meaning, “black,” is a Proto-Indo- European word that derives from the root (nekw) meaning “to be dark.”
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge. I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to ME: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy GOD, I will also forget thy children (descendants).
The Penalties for Disobeying GOD!
Jeremiah 17:3; MY mountain in the land and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of sin throughout your country. 4) Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you.
This penalty, placed on the Israelite’s (Yehuda) in no way absolves these evil perpetrators of their sin. Their role in histories most egregious and atrocious acts remain….
Exodus 21:16 “Kidnappers must be put to death, whether they are caught in possession of their victims or have already sold them as slaves.
This scripture was found in the same book many of these slave traders and abusers of humanity claimed to follow, wholeheartedly.
Exodus 21: 26 An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye.
Interesting huh? “If freedom is fair compensation, according to scripture for an eye, what would be proper compensation for burning, maiming, boiling, and skinning alive? How do you compensate for abducting, selling, murdering, and/or raping one’s child, wife or mother? How do you compensate when you are the cause of so much pain, destruction and loss of life?
Judges 16:28 Then Samson prayed to the LORD, “Sovereign LORD, remember me. Please, GOD, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.
Their culpability will remain until their most egregious crimes are acknowledged and corrected …….
An estimated 3.1 million Africans and Yehudi were brought by the British to the Caribbean Islands of Barbados, St Kitts, St Vincent, Grenadines, Antigua, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Lucia, Dominica, Trinidad and also to Panama.
They were also transported to Jamaica. The French brought many captives to Haiti. Between 1501 and 1866 over 4.9 million enslaved people were transported from Africa to Brazil by the Portuguese. Between 1576 and 1810, 100,000 Africans and Yehudim were transported to Venezuela.
The Spanish took thousands of captives to Puerto Rico, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and after killing off a majority of its native population, brought many Africans and Yehudim to Cuba. The Dutch brought African captives to Aruba around the mid-19th century.
Deuteronomy 28: 64 And the LORD will scatter thee among all the people, from the end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone (describing the cross, Mary, and Jesus). 65 and among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
Also, please read the blog titled, “Jeremiah 30:7 Warns us, that what we thought was the End was only the Beginning!!” This article confronts the other side of the Christian “Slave Trade.” The side constructed and implemented by Arab Muslims.
