Brief but very important summary of true Black history that you won't hear about in school.

 

Context is the strength of history.

 

Bringing everything into proper context... Here we go...

 

The Children of Israel had been migrating throughout Africa - from early Egyptian captivity up until the time they were finally flushed out of the land of Canaan, the country known as Israel today, fleeing persecution, slavery and starvation from the Romans in the Jewish-Roman War 66-70 A.D., which marked the end of the original Hebrew Israelites as a nation.

​

** The Bible and history confirms that the country of Israel (formally Canaan) still is, and always has been in the continent of Africa.  

 

The term "Middle East" only refers to a region. Remember, there are still only 7 continents...the Middle East is not an 8th continent. Israel is in the continent of Africa.

 

Actually Europe is not a “continent” by definition - (a large land mass surrounded mostly by water). Europeans (Greeks) decided to “make” Europe a continent in the 6th century BC. But according to the definition of the word, the original and correct continent is Asia.

​

Many schools are changing their textbooks to teach correctly that there are really 6 continents.

​

After king Solomon died the original kingdom of Israel (twelve tribes) split into two kingdoms; the northern kingdom (ten of the twelve tribes), who kept the name Israel, and the southern kingdom (two tribes), called Judah (1 Kings 12 & 2 Chron 10).

 

By the time of this Hebrew-Roman war, the northern kingdom called Israel had already been taken captive by the Assyrians in 722 BC (2 Kings 15:29, 16:9), and are to this day referred to as the "ten lost tribes".. (They are called "lost" only because mainstream refuse to consider Africa or people looking like Africans) Which left only the "southern kingdom", or "Judah" - which the Bible translates as "Jews".

 

The Hebrew word translated as Jew in the Bible is the Hebrew word Yehudah, which is Judah or Judaite (Strong's #3064), referring to the southern kingdom of Israel. 

 

The word Jew in the Bible had absolutely nothing to do with "Judaism". It was all about bloodline , or family lineage.

​

Anyway...

​

 Jerusalem came under the control of Rome in 63BC. The Judaites (Jews) revolted against the Romans a little over a hundred years later in 66AD and were defeated. The escaping Israelites, mostly of the southern kingdom, or Judah, migrated all throughout Africa ...in the opposite direction of the attacking Roman army. 

 

The farther west they went, the safer they believed they were since the Romans were coming from the east and north (Rome, Italy). 

 

Like we said, they migrated throughout Africa and many ended up on Africa's west coast. Africa's west coast was considered to be the safest place in the world at that time for them.

 

• Africa as it looks today with all those countries was created by Europeans in 1884. In that year, European powers met in Berlin, Germany and demarcated the continent among themselves. The demarcation gave birth to the Africa you see on the maps today. So you cannot look at Ghana, Togo, or Nigeria and say these countries are where the enslaved warriors from Africa came from because these countries did not exist at the time of the Slave trade. These countries came into existence after most of Europe abolished slavery.

 

• Before Europeans demarcated the continent, what existed in Africa were various African Kingdoms and Empires. (Empire is a number of kingdoms under a single authority or ruler) 

​

So much more I could discuss on this but again, back to our subject...

 

As seen and explained below on a map dated 1747, the "Kingdom of Juda" is clearly seen on the west coast of Africa.
