Have you ever wondered why our history as "African Americans" is so tragic...Why it's so inconsistent...why are we at the bottom of every totem pole there is in the world...Why it constantly seems like we can't catch a break...
What would you do if you discovered that you were much more than an "African American"? How would you feel if someone told you that the people in the Bible could possibly be your ancestors? Would you care? Would you want to know how? Would you be willing to look at and consider the proof?
Earlier this year, I made an outline from all the questions I asked myself since discovering this Truth. The first question was: Who are we, are we merely “African-Americans” or are we much more than that? Can we truly be the chosen people (Hebrew/Israelites) of the Most High God?
Deuteronomy 28:1,2- And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
The 28th chapter of Deuteronomy basically warns the Hebrews (Children of God) what the Father will cause to happen to them if they chose to not follow his commandments/statues and what He would cause to happen to them if they chose to act in disobedience.
The description of the blessings start from Deuteronomy 28:3-13
The description of the curses start from Deuteronomy 28:15-68
The Father adamantly warned His children, He told them to choose wisely (though He knew they would not). I hope you can see the emphasis He placed on both the blessings and curses; within that chapter, only 10 verses spoke about the blessings His children would experience if they chose to listen. But goodness, did you notice how many verses He went in-(graphic)-detail about the curses that would surely come those those who disobeyed?...53 verses!
Here are a few scriptures I want to place emphasis on; I want you to really look into this and really think about it:
28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
28:13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
*28:68* And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
*According to the Word, Egypt represents bondage (Exodus 2:23) and when it says "no man shall buy you" it means no one will save you or buy you your freedom.(Also read Exodus 1:13-14)*
This video (and of course the Word) helped me understand the answer to my question.
So...what do you think?
