EGYPTIANS AND HEBREWS WERE BLACK!

 
WHO ARE THE REAL ISRAELITES?

EGYPTIANS WERE BLACK!

Egypt The name that the ancient Egyptians gave to themselves, the name they gave to their country and our continent. They used the root Kam/Kem meaning coal-coated, thus Black. Which is common to Kemi/Kembou/Kheum/Kala which means coal/burned/black in several African languages.

The Egyptians called themselves Kemtiu, that is to say the coal-coated or blacks. Egypt and Africa were designated Km.t which is read Kemet/Kama/Kamit and means black country or Kemmiu/Kammiu meaning country of blacks.

HEBREWS WERE BLACK!  (KJV)

“My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.” – Job 30:30

While the text makes it clear that Job’s skin was black, many point out that the Hebrews mourned and repented by covering themselves in ashes. While it is true that the Hebrews sprinkled ashes on themselves, it is a stretch to believe that Job did not bathe at all, and remained covered in ashes throughout the ordeal.

“I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.” – Song of Solomon 1:5-6

Here we have Solomon’s lover telling us twice that she is black. She even goes as far as to compare her own skin to the tents of Kedar, the curtains of Solomon, and says it is because “the sun hath looked upon me”. 

Lamentations  5:10 Our skin is hot as an oven, feverish from hunger. People of European ancestry do not get black with hunger.

I am sure you have seen pictures of African babies whose skin has turned black due to famine.

No matter how long the Hebrews were out in the sun, their skin would not go from white or light, to black as an oven due to famine or sunlight. 

Lamentations 4:8 But now they are blacker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets. Their skin has shriveled on their bones; it has become as dry as a stick.

It is important to recognize the original King James version since it has been changed in newer versions.

HEBREWS LOOKED LIKE EGYPTIANS!!

​

Yahushua (also known as Jesus)

The Flight to Egypt – Book of Matthew 2
13 Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”
14 So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt. 15He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON.”
Joseph, Jesus, and Mary were all sent to hide among the Egyptians until the death of Herod. It would not make any sense to hide a white or light child among people that depicted themselves as dark.

Moses

“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 ye are come so soon to day? And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.”

 – Exodus 2:17-19

We see here that Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian, but why? If an African puts on European clothing, nobody will mistaken them for a European, and vice versa. Moses was born in Egypt, adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter, given an Egyptian name, and raised in Egypt. Moses spoke both Egyptian and Hebrew, and possibly other languages as well. The fact is, Moses looked like an Egyptian, and it wasn’t just because of his clothing.

Apostle Paul looked Egyptian“ Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?” – Acts 21:38

Not long after the resurrection of Christ, the Apostle Paul was mistaken as an Egyptian, and unlike Moses, Paul was a Pharisee. Because he was a converted Pharisee, Paul would not have been dressed like an Egyptian, which means that they must have had more than clothing in common (Acts 21:37-39).

Joseph

Joseph looked Egyptian Joseph: "And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt... And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him" (Genesis 42:3-8).

Others

Acts 13:1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Niger  black, a surname of Simeon ( Acts 13:1 ). He was probably so called from his dark complexion.

SLAVERY

When Did Slavery Start? 

 Deuteronomy 28:41,49-50,68

33  A people whom you do not know will eat the produce of your land and all the products of your labors, and you will never be anything but oppressed  and  exploited and crushed continually. 41  You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours [for long], because they will go into captivity. 49  “The  Lord  will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, [as swift] as the eagle swoops down [to attack], a nation whose language you will not understand,  50  a  defiant nation who will have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young,    68  The  Lord  will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I said to you, ‘You will never see it again!’ And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no one to buy you.

Deuteronomy 28:25,64

25  “The  Lord  will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you will go out against them one way, but flee before them seven ways, and you will be  an example of  terror to all the kingdoms of the earth [when they see your destruction].64  And the  Lord  will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and there you will [be forced to] serve other gods, [lifeless gods of] wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. 

Slavery in America started in 1619, when a Dutch ship brought 20 African slaves ashore in the British colony of Jamestown, Virginia.
The Pharaohs of Egypt in the book of Exodus are mentioned by name. This is intentional in Exodus, for the Pharaohs and Egypt are portrayed as the symbols of Satan and the world, who have enslaved the people of Yahweh (Ex. 13:3). Yahweh is less interested in telling Egyptian history then making a theological point about how He can redeem His people from slavery, no matter what form it takes.
Yet the Bible does tell us the date of the exodus in 1 Kgs. 6:1. One can see that the times for both the exodus and the beginning of the Temple have been specifically stated here. Scholars have identified the fourth year of Solomon’s reign as 966 BC (give or take a year). Using this 966 date, one finds that the exodus took place in 1446 BC, according to 1 Kgs. 1:6.Scholars have debated whether enslavement was 400 years or much more than 400 years.

MOSAIC COVENANT

The intended purpose of the Mosaic Covenant was never to bring about the salvation of Israel but, rather, to prepare Israel for the coming of Jesus Christ. Through the Law Israel would learn what the righteousness of Yahweh was, the gravity of their sin in light of that righteousness, and, therefore, their need of a savior due to their sin (see The Mosaic Covenant article for deeper discussion of the nature and purpose of the Mosaic Covenant).
​​
Yahweh came to Israel on Mount Sinai as the Shekinah glory of Yahweh that covered the whole mountain in fire and lightning and caused earthquakes (Ex. 19). It is here that Yahweh as the same almighty, sovereign creator of the world came to Israel as their king and creator to give them the Law, the tabernacle, and sacrificial systems. These three things would teach Israel about who He is and how to have a relationship to Him, maintain their righteousness, and bring the other nations to Yahweh.
​​

The Mosaic Covenant was the fourth covenant of Yahweh and was an outgrowth of the Abrahamic Covenant in that it revealed what Yahweh expected from His chosen people; by observing it, they could achieve their purpose as a nation revealed in the Abrahamic Covenant. This purpose was to experience Yahweh’s blessing and to be a blessing to all nations of the earth (Gen. 12:2). In contrast to the Abrahamic Covenant, Israel had, in the Mosaic Covenant, responsibilities to fulfill in order to obtain Yahweh’s promised blessings (Ex. 19:5).
This covenant was a conditional covenant, which means both parties were responsible for keeping the requirements of the covenant. The sign of this covenant was keeping the Sabbath as a day of rest from all work.
​​

The Requirements
    Love Yahweh with all your heart, mind, and strength (Deut. 6:5).
    Love your neighbor as yourself (Lev. 19:18).

The Blessing
    Israel would be a special treasure to Yahweh.
    Israel would be a kingdom of priests.
    Israel would be a holy nation.
    Full life of rest (shalom) in the Land (Deuteronomy 11:8-9)
