The
concept of “Black”
“The concept of “black” as a metaphor for race was first
used at the end of the 17th century when a French doctor named Francois
Bernier divided up humanity based on facial appearance and body type. He
proposed four categories: Europeans, Far Easterners, Lapps, and finally Blacks
who he described as having wooly hair, thick lips, and very white teeth.”
(The End of Racism by Dinesh D'Souza pg 123, 1995)
Many people believe that
a nation of people went into captivity and prior to the Trans-Atlantic
Slave trade we have no knowledge of where they came from, why they were
made to be slaves, and how the enslavement of a large mass of about 20 million people
was made possible. One may ask a simple question why is it that these men can’t
seem to tell us what happened to this people. The majority of these so called
intellectual men study
archeology, history, and anthropology. They can dig
up a skeleton that has been buried for centuries and tell you how he died,
as well as what his last meal was. These men can allegedly
go to the moon, predict weather patterns, give analysis
on the stock market, but can’t figure out what happened to these “Black
People” to bring such a judgment on them. We are all aware that this was no
normal event but an event like unto no other tragedy in history. Why can’t they
tell us what happened? Could it be that they know but don’t want us to know?
Perhaps the answer is that they don’t want us to know what happened because it
could possibly connect us to the true nation of Yisrael “
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones. (Psa 83:3 KJV)

The scripture does not
state that Ham was cursed but his seed
“A prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will descend an
inferior and servile posterity.”(C.J. Scofield Notes.)
“When his
youngest son saw this, he came laughing, and showed him to his brethren; but they
covered their father’s nakedness. And when Noah was made sensible of what had
been done, he prayed for prosperity to his other sons; but for Ham, he did not
curse him, by reason of his nearness in blood, but cursed his prosperity: and
when the rest of them escaped that curse, G-d inflicted it on the children of
Canaan.” (Works of Josephus the
Antiquities of the Jews; book 1 Chapter 6 Section 3)
Does not
this refer to what was pronounced by Noah, Genesis 9:26, against Ham and his
posterity? Did not the curse of Ham imply slavery, and nothing else? (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the New Testament)
Finnis Dakes, in his commentary on “The Curse of
Ham”, makes a bold statement in favor of “white supremacy” basically ignoring
the contributions of the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians and all other non
Japhetic civilization. Christian Teacher Dr. Fredrick Price stated:
“The Lord
has led me to go back to the past and pull up the roots that have produced the
present! I have never said nor inferred that Dr. Dake was a racist. After all,
I have never met him. I operate on the basis of two Biblical principles among
many others, which state in Matthew 12:33 "Either make the tree good, and
His fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt and His fruit corrupt; for the
tree is known by His fruit." And 1 Thessalonians 5:22, "Abstain from
all appearance of evil."
However, the Dake’s publishers stated that “Dr. Dake never intended for his reference
notes to be used to support racism of any kind.” Here is a direct quotation from his commentary
which states:
“…Prophecy that Japheth would be the father of the great and enlarged
races. Government, science, and art are mainly Japhetic. His descendents
constitute the leading nations of Civilization.” (Dakes Annotated
Reference Bible; O.T. page 9 column 1 letter J.)
Although these so
called scholars have filled the “Christian Bookstores” and have sanction the
enslavement of “black people” with these teachings in the “Church” the scripture
explicitly states that the curse was on

intermarried with the children of Ham.
The scripture tells us
that Yoseph “Joseph” the son of Yisrael took to wife the daughter of Potifer,
the “Egyptian”. She bore unto him Ephraim, and Manasseh who were both sons of
the nation of Yisrael. Contrary to popular opinion as depicted in the movie
“The Ten Commandments” the Egyptians were not European but of a dark race and
complexion. The mother of Ephraim and Manasseh was a “black” skinned “Egyptian” woman.

And unto Joseph in the
Also, Yahudah “Judah”,
the father and ancestor of King David and the Messiyah Yahshuah, had a son
named Pharez by the Canaanite woman who was a daughter of the sons of Ham a

Additionally, Mosheh “Moses”
under went persecution by his family when he married a non covenant Cushite “Ethiopian”
woman.
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. Num 12:1
KJV
Furthermore, recall in
the story how that Miriam became leprous white as snow after that she and Aaron
spoke against Mosheh. When Aaron saw the curse of white skin he repented. This
makes it more realistic when the reader understands that they were a “black”
skinned people.

This
is a picture of a black man turned white due to taking a pill for a liver
condition. Notice that his skin is changing from his original color “black” to
white skin. This is how a person with leprosy would have appeared during the
time of the early pioneer of the scriptures.
This picture shows how Mosheh’s hand
would have appeared to him when he took it out of his bosom.
And
the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white
as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she
was leprous. (Num 12:10 KJV)
And YHWH
said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his
hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. (Exo 4:6 KJV)
And
he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his
bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again
as his other flesh. (Exo 4:7 KJV)
Salma the son of
Nashon was the father of Boaz thru the Canaanite woman Rahab. Obed was born to
Boaz thru Ruth the Moabite woman of color. Both Canaanite and Moabite blood was
in the ancestry line of David.
And Nahshon begat Salma, and Salma begat Boaz, And Boaz begat Obed,
and Obed begat Jesse, And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the
second, and Shimma the third, Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, Ozem the
sixth, David the seventh: (1Ch 2:11-15 KJV)
King Shelomoh
“Solomon” was the son of David thru the Hittite woman
Bathsheba. The Hittites were decedents of the sons of Ham an “African” people
if you will.
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay
with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD
loved him. (2Sa

Unfortunately, since
the “New Testament” is the main focus in Christianity we often miss important
detail by not reading the “Old Testament”. Many people make the scriptures a
religious book and totally ignore the historical, covenant, and prophetical
books. Furthermore, in some circles they quote “we are not under the law but
under grace…the Old Testament has been fulfilled.”
Similarities
between Ham and Shem
Ham, son of Noah. As Shem means “dusky,” or the
like, and Japheth “fair,” it has been supposed that Ham meant, as is not
improbable, “black.” This is supported by the evidence of Hebrew and Arabic, in
which the word ham means “to be hot” and “to be black,” the latter
signification being derived from the former. (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

The Term Negro
History tells us that
in approximately 1492 CE the enslavement “black” people began in Portugal by the
Portuguese who are primarily a mixture of the decedents of Esau the “Sephardim Jew”
(2Kings 17:24).
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from
Hamath, and from Sepharvaim,
and placed them in
the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed
Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
(2Ki 17:24
KJV)

During 1492 is when the
term Negro began to be used by the Spanish and Portuguese to
refer to dark-skinned people, especially indigenous Africans. The term Negro means "black" in
the Spanish, Portuguese and ancient Italian
languages. It was derived from the Latin word niger of the same meaning. Some “Black”
Christians feel as though it’s ok to be called

“I am black?”
The song of Shelomoh
“Solomon” is a very interesting story about a man who is in love with a “black”
skinned woman who tells that her complexion is dark. In this passage begins by saying
“I am Black” because the sun has looked on me. The word “Black” in this phrase
needs to be clarified. The word Black is of Hebrew origin “Shachor” meaning dusky, jetty, jet black. The Queen said she was black as
the tents of Kedar which is the same as saying (dusky,
ashy, or dark in color). The next phrase “looked on me” is the Hebrew
“Shazaph”
meaning to tan or burned skin. When you look for an explanation in most
commentaries this passage is very seldom expounded on.
I am black, but comely, O ye

The prophet Yermiyah
“Jeremiah” spoke concerning his people Yisrael. He declares that he is hurting
for his people. The Nation of Yisrael had gone into captivity due to disobeying
the command of YHWH. What is interesting to note is that he makes a profound
statement “I am Black” This word is also taken from the Hebrew Qadar/Kedar which means dusky, ashy and dark in
color.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black;
astonishment hath taken hold on me. Jer
As previously stated,
passages like these are often over looked and remain unexplained in the general
religious world. However, it does not take away from the reality that the
ancient Yisraelites were a people of
color. It’s a fact that many scholars including Josephus the “Jewish”
historian, as well as the renowned author C.I. Scofield D.D., of the Scofield

of Ham were of color. The sons of Ham were

The true identity of the “African Americans” as a direct result of slavery including the African slave trade has been lost, and stolen for over four hundred years. The scripture tells us that the chosen people were called hidden ones. Could it be a coincidence that the “African Americans” have a lost identify and have become known as “the hidden ones”? Perhaps a lost identity is not truly lost identity but stolen one. Selah!

While
other ethnic groups can trace their ancestry back to its roots, most people of
color are not fully aware of their true national origin. Many have just settle

often when we are asked our heritage we resort to using religions such as Islam,
Christianity, and in some cases Judaism to define our selves. However, we must realize
there is no religion that can explain our past but the scriptures on the other
