Are we Africans 3

ARE WE AFRICANS 3

In the year 65 B.C. the Roman armies under General Pompey captured Jerusalem. In 70 A.D. General Vespasian and his son, Titus, put an end to the Jewish state, with great slaughter. During the period of the military governors of Palestine, many outrages and atrocities were committed against the residue of the people. During the period from Pompey to Julius, it has been estimated that over 1 million Jews fled into Africa, fleeing from Roman persecution and slavery. The slave markets were full of Black Jewish slaves. We fled into Africa from the Romans to be amongst dark-skinned people like ourselves to try and blend in. We traveled from Jerusalem to the western coast of Africa from 70 A.D. up until the time of slavery.
We built many great empires along the west coast of Africa; in Mali, Senegal, Niger, and Ghana just to name a few. For more detailed information on Israelite empires in West Africa the following readings are suggested: Hebrewisms of West Africa by Joseph J. Williams, and From Babylon to Timbuktu by Rudolph R. Windsor. Christ prophesied about our flight from the destruction of Jerusalem in Luke 21:20,21 - And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. Also read Matthew 24:15-20.
When the Africans got tired of us being in their land they teamed up with the Arabs to sell us to the White man. For those of us who know our true history, this is nothing new because they did the same thing back in ancient times. 2 Chronicles 21:16,17 - Moreover the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians: And they came up into Judah, and break into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
The African slave trade was Africans and Arabs trading us, the Hebrew Israelites, for slaves in exchange for whatever they could get for us. How can you say that we are not Africans when we all look the same? After all we both have the same color skin and we both have wooly hair don't we? Why aren't we the same? Truth: I'd like to answer this one with the following observation. If you look at a black dog and you look at a black cat, would you say that the dog is a cat just because they're both black? Absolutely not and neither are we Africans just because we all look similar. The Africans come out of Noah's son Ham, they are Hamitic. We come out of Noah's son Shem, we are Shemitic (or Semitic). There is a difference!
