It is pretty obvious that what Yahuah says in Deuteronomy 28 was directed to the Hebrew nation which is us!
The gentiles did away with Yahuah’s faith system, which had a heavenly Saviour, as well as the Son of Elohim and then created us their own saviour!
They did that simply because they loathed the Elohim whose name is Yahuah since they were well aware that He is the Elohim who always fought on behalf of the Hebrews, their enemy number one!
1.Shabbat Shalom to the saints. The topic of this sermon is: LET US RECONCILE WITH YAHUAH OUR ELOHIM.
2.In pages 83-84 of Prof. Rudolph R. Windsor’s book, FROM BABYLON TO TIMBUKTU, we read: “THE ARMY OF ANTIOCHUS MARCHED INTO PALESTINE TO SUPPORT MENELAUS, THE LEADER OF THE PRO-SYRIAN PARTY.
3. AS A RESULT, MANY JEWS WERE KILLED; OTHERS ESCAPED TO THE HILLS AND TO EGYPT.
4. ONLY THOSE JEWS THAT SUPPORTED THOSE JEWS THAT SUPPORTED ANTIOCHUS’ POLICIES REMAINED IN JERUSALEM.
5. AN EDICT WAS PROMULGATED INTERDICTING THE OBSERVANCE OF THE HOLIDAYS, THE SABBATH, AND CIRCUMCISION.
6. A STATUE OF JUPITER WAS ERECTED IN THE HOLY TEMPLE ABOVE THE ALTAR.
7. TO THIS STATUE THE PEOPLE BROUGHT THE SACRIFICES OF PIG MEAT, THE ANIMAL WHICH IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE JEWS.
8.BECAUSE OF THIS RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION, THE LEGITIMATE HIGH PRIEST (ONIAS III) AND MANY OTHER JEWS FLED INTO AFRICAN COUNTRIES SUCH AS EGYPT, ETHIOPIA, AND CYRENAICA (LYBIA).
9.THROUGHOUT THE LAST TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED YEARS, THE MAIN FACTORS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SOCIAL MIGRATION OF THE JEWS WERE WARS, RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION, AND COMMERCE.
10.ALL THESE FACTORS WERE OPERATING AND GAVE RISE TO THE AFRICAN JEWISH POPULATION.
11.IN THE YEAR 65 B.C. THE ROMAN ARMIES UNDER GENERAL POMPEY CAPTURED JERUSALEM.
12. IN 70 A.D. GENERAL VESPASIAN AND HIS SON, TITUS PUT AN END TO THE JEWISH STATE, WITH GREAT SLAUGHTER.
13. DURING THE PERIOD OF THE MILITARY GOVERNORS OF PALESTINE, MANY OUTRAGES AND ATROCITIES WERE COMMITTED AGAINST THE RESIDUE OF THE PEOPLE.
14.DURING THE PERIOD FROM POMPEY TO JULIUS, IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT OVER 1,000,000 JEWS FLED INTO AFRICA, FLEEING FROM ROMAN PERSECUTION AND SLAVERY.
15.THE SLAVE MARKETS WERE FULL OF BLACK JEWISH SLAVES.
16.DEUTERONOMY 28:64 READS THUS: “AND THE LORD SHALL SCATTER THEE AMONG ALL PEOPLE, FROM THE ONE END OF THE EARTH EVEN UNTO THE OTHER;
17.AND THERE THOU SHALT SERVE OTHER GODS, WHICH NEITHER THOU NOR THY FATHERS HAVE KNOWN, EVEN WOOD AND STONE.” – King James Version
18.“THIS PROPHECY AND ALL THE RESIDUE OF THE PROPHECIES CONTAINED IN DEUTERONOMY 28:15-68 BEFELL THE BLACK JEWS AFTER THEY DISOBEYED THE LAWS OF GOD.
19. MANY NATIONS TRANSPORTED THE JEWS INTO SLAVERY, AND THE SONS OF ISRAEL TRANSMIGRATED TO EVERY CONTINENT.”
20.The narrative that has been advanced by this author correlates with the account, in the first chapter of the First Book of Maccabees which clearly articulates how the Judeans were abused by the Greeks.
21. The Book of Maccabees is one of the books of the Bible that were not canonised within the Protestant version that is read by most of us.
22.With this narrative having been succinctly presented by this author, there is something that is unsettling about it, which compels us to objectively analyse the history that pertains to our lives.
23.This author writes: “THIS PROPHECY AND ALL THE RESIDUE OF THE PROPHECIES CONTAINED IN DEUTERONOMY 28:15-68 BEFELL THE BLACK JEWS AFTER THEY DISOBEYED THE LAWS OF GOD.
24. MANY NATIONS TRANSPORTED THE JEWS INTO SLAVERY, AND THE SONS OF ISRAEL TRANSMIGRATED TO EVERY CONTINENT!”
25.The question that we need to engage with is: is Deuteronomy 28 about a black nation?
26.Is this author referring to the sons of Yisra’el as a black nation?
27.Then, if Yisra’el was a black nation, how did it happen that all images of biblical figures portray them as white people?
28.If we are the progeny of Yisra’el, it is obvious that even Yeshua the Saviour has never been a white man since he also was a descendant of the Judeans that were persecuted.
29.Also, this would surely validate Prof. Tudor Parfitt’s (2003) claim that we still exist, we never went missing, as the nation of ancient Yisra’el, as articulated in his book entitled: THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL: THE CREATION OF A MYTH.
30.In Matthew 24, it was Yeshua who predicted the destruction, by the Romans, of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 A.D.
31.So, at what point did Yeshua then establish the gentile religion because, in 65 B.C., the Romans attacked and seized Jerusalem before they then finally destroyed the state of the Judeans on the edge of the sword in 70 A.D.?
32.We get the answer to this question in Dr Koster’s book entitled: COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, page 62, where he writes:
33.“THE GENTILES WANTED A SAVIOUR, BUT NOT A JEWISH ONE. THEY LOATHED THE JEWS, THEY EVEN LOATHED THE ELOHIM OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (WHO IS YAHUAH). THUS, A HELLENIZED SAVIOUR WAS PREFERRED.”
34.This author has clarified how Yeshua’s deeds were plagiarised by the Romans when they created their bogus saviour who is not the son of Elohim!
35.As per Dr Koster’s position, the names YAHUAH and YESHUA were excluded from the New Testament because the gentiles loathed the Elohim of the Old Testament!
36.This point is reinforced by the fact that wars often occurred since the era of the Greek Empire, according to the Book of Maccabees, and from 65 B.C. between the Romans and the Judeans.
37.It is pretty obvious that what Yahuah says in Deuteronomy 28 was directed to the Hebrew nation which is us!
38.The gentiles did away with Yahuah’s faith system, which had a heavenly Saviour, as well as the Son of Elohim and then created us their own saviour!
39.They did that simply because they loathed the Elohim whose name is Yahuah since they were well aware that He is the Elohim who always fought on behalf of the Hebrews, their enemy number one!
40.After a while, the gentiles then created this saviour, which Dr Koster is referring to, whom they associated with Yeshua so that we might think that Yeshua and their saviour is one and the same being, whereas that is really not the case!
41.Yeshua never taught that his death did away with Yahuah’s Law because, according to the former’s teaching, Yahuah’s Law endures forever!
42.In my last sermon I said the Philistines did not know how they could subjugate Shimshon (Samson) because he was a holy man!
43.They first discovered the secret of his might.
44.After discovering it, they detached him from Yahuah by shaving his head!
45.Indeed, after removing his holiness, Yahuah suddenly abandoned him!
46.Likewise, the gentiles knew that our might resided within our holiness, which means observing Yahuah’s Instructions!
47.They read all this in Moshe’s writings which formed the core of our faith system!
48.It was very essential for the gentiles to detach us from Yahuah so that He would no longer come any closer to us!
49. The Romans brutally killed the Judeans who continued honouring their covenant with Yahuah, such as observing the Sabbath and getting circumcised!
50.The nation that did away with the Sabbath is Yahuah’s adversary; therefore, Yeshua would never have established a religion that contradicts his teachings!
51.At first the religion of the gentiles was just a force that was instituted to oppose the faith system of Yahuah.
52.It was Constantine who turned this force into a religion and then claimed to be pious, whereas his intention was to destroy Yahuah’s faith system from within the pagan religion!
53.After doing away with Yahuah’s faith system through Creeds, they revived all the festivals of their pagan gods.
54.Yahuah’s faith system was destroyed under the guise of following a new covenant!
55.But Yeshua says any person who does not observe Yahuah’s Law will not inherit eternal life, according to Matthew 5:19. Yeshua will never do away with Elohim’s Law!
56.Since Yeshua died a Judean, when did he forsake his fellow Judeans in order to form a religion of a nation that annihilated his people?
57.In concurrence with Dr Koster, the Book of Maccabees has explained how the Grecian nation persecuted the Judeans.
58.Likewise, the Romans were busy killing about 500 Judeans per day, in 70 A.D., and they also promulgated ordinances that were meant to do away with all Yahuah’s feasts, including the Shabbat!
59.In Exodus 19:5, Yahuah says: “NOW THEREFORE, IF YE WILL OBEY MY VOICE INDEED, AND KEEP MY CONVENANT,
60. THEN YE SHALL BE A PECULIAR TREASURE UNTO ME ABOVE ALL PEOPLE: FOR ALL THE EARTH IS MINE.” – KJV
61. Yahuah’s goes on in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and says (selected text): “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,
62.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 THY LORD THY GOD.
63. BLESSED SHALT THOU BE IN THE CITY, AND BLESSED SHALT THOU BE IN THE FIELD.
64. BLESSED SHALL BE THE FRUIT OF THY BODY, AND THE FRUIT OF THY GROUND, AND THE FRUIT OF THY CATTLE,
65. THE INCREASE OF THY KINE, AND THE FLOCKS OF THY SHEEP…. (which means that you and your offspring shall become wealthy!)
66. THE LORD SHALL CAUSE THINE ENEMIES THAT RISE UP AGAINST THEE TO BE SMITTEN BEFORE THY FACE…!
67. THE LORD SHALL COMMAND THE BLESSING UPON THEE IN THY STOREHOUSES, AND IN ALL THAT THOU SETTEST THINE HAND UNTO…!
68. THE LORD SHALL ESTABLISH THEE AN HOLY PEOPLE UNTO HIMSELF, AS HE HATH SWORN UNTO THEE, IF THOU SHALT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND WALK IN HIS WAYS!
69. AND ALL PEOPLE OF THE EARTH SHALL SEE THAT THOU ART CALLED BY THE NAME OF THE LORD; AND THEY SHALL BE AFRAID OF THEE…” – KJV
70.Yahuah swore that if we keep His commandments He would do for us all the things that He has mentioned!
71.But in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 Yahuah says (selected text): “BUT IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IF THOU WILT NOT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD THY GOD, TO OBSERVE TO DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HIS STATUTES WHICH I COMMAND THEE THIS DAY; THAT ALL THESE CURSES SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND OVERTAKE THEE:
72.CURSED SHALT THOU BE IN THE CITY, AND CURSED SHALT THOU BE IN THE FIELD.
73.CURSED SHALL BE THE FRUIT OF THY BODY, AND THE FRUIT OF THY LAND, THE INCREASE OF THY KINE, AND THE FLOCKS OF THY SHEEP.
74.THE LORD SHALL SEND UPON THEE CURSING, VEXATION, AND REBUKE, IN ALL THAT THOU SETTEST THINE HAND UNTO FOR TO DO, UNTIL THOU BE DESTROYED, AND UNTIL THOU PERISH QUICKLY; BECAUSE OF THE WICKEDNESS OF THY DOINGS, WHEREBY THOU HAST FORSAKEN ME…
75. THE LORD SHALL CAUSE THEE TO BE SMITTEN BEFORE THINE ENEMIES: THOU SHALT GO OUT ONE WAY AGAINST THEM, AND FLEE SEVEN WAYS BEFORE THEM…
76.AND THOU SHALT BECOME A TERRIBLE THING UNTO ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD… AND THY CARCASE SHALL BE MEAT UNTO ALL FOWLS OF THE AIR, AND UNTO THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH, AND NO MAN SHALL FRAY THEM AWAY.” – KJV
77.When Zulu warriors had been defeated at the Battle of Ncome, the corpses of men were never interred, but they were devoured by vultures, hyenas and dogs!
78.THE LORD SHALL SMITE THEE WITH MADNESS, AND BLINDNESS, AND ASTONISHMENT OF HEART.
79.AND THOU SHALT NOT PROSPER IN THY WAYS: AND THOU SHALT BE ONLY OPPRESSED AND SPOILED EVERMORE, AND NO MAN SHALL SAVE THEE.
80.THE FRUIT OF THY LAND, AND ALL THY LABOURS, SHALL A NATION WHICH THOU KNOWEST NOT EAT UP; AND THOU SHALT BE ONLY OPPRESSED AND CRUSHED ALWAY.
81. THE LORD SHALL BRING THEE, AND THY KING WHICH THOU SHALT SET OVER THEE, UNTO A NATION WHICH NEITHER THOU NOR THY FATHERS HAVE KNOWN; AND THERE SHALT THOU SERVE OTHER GODS, WOOD AND STONE.
82.AND THOU SHALT BECOME AN ASTONISHMENT, A PROVERB, AND A BY-WORD, AMONG ALL NATIONS WHITHER THE LORD SHALL LEAD THEE. – KJV
83.This perfectly correlates with what happened to African Americans and other Africans in the Diaspora.
84. THE LORD SHALL BRING A NATION AGAINST THEE FROM FAR, FROM THE END OF THE EARTH, AS SWIFT AS THE EAGLE FLIETH; A NATION WHOSE TONGUE THOU SHALT NOT UNDERSTAND.
85… A NATION WHOSE TONGUE THOU SHALT NOT UNDERSTAND; A NATION OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE, WHICH SHALL NOT REGARD THE PERSON OF THE OLD, NOR SHEW FAVOUR TO THE YOUNG!
86. AND HE SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THY CATTLE, AND THE FRUIT OF THY LAND, UNTIL THOU BE DESTROYED,
87. IF THOU WILT NOT OBSERVE TO DO ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK, THAT THOU MAYEST FEAR THIS GLORIOUS AND FEARFUL NAME, “THE LORD THY GOD.” – KJV
88.We need to challenge ourselves on why we did not keep His laws since He had chosen us to become His nation.
89.In 2 Chronicles 7:13-15, Yahuah says: “IF I SHUT UP HEAVEN THAT THERE BE NO RAIN, OR IF I COMMAND THE LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, OR IF I SEND PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS;
90. THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.
91. NOW MINE EYES SHALL BE OPEN, AND MINE EARS ATTENT UNTO THE PRAYER THAT IS MADE IN THIS PLACE.” – KJV
92.Whenever the nation had sinned, it would confess its sins and Yahuah would then forgive it!
93.In Nehemiah 9:1-3, we read: “NOW IN THE TWENTY AND FOURTH DAY OF THIS MONTH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE ASSEMBLED WITH FASTING, AND WITH SACKCLOTHES, AND EARTH UPON THEM.
94. AND THE SEED OF ISRAEL SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM ALL STRANGERS, AND STOOD AND CONFESSED THEIR SINS, AND THE INIQUITIES OF THEIR FATHERS.
95. AND THEY STOOD UP IN THEIR PLACE, AND READ IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD THEIR GOD ONE FOURTH PART OF THE DAY; AND ANOTHER FOURTH PART THEY CONFESSED, AND WORSHIPPED THE LORD THEIR GOD!” – KJV
96.Just as Yahuah says, if we humble ourselves, ask for forgiveness and reconcile with Him, He will forgive us, and we will then become His children just as we used to be in the ancient past!
97.This campaign to reconcile with Yahuah should be supported by the clergy that are sincerely pious.
98.Those in charge of the South Africa, including monarchs of various tribal entities, should rally behind this campaign!
99.We should all reconcile with Yahuah the Elohim of our forebears!
May God bless the reading of His Word.
