BRIEF ISRAELITE HISTORY
Revelation 11:11 “And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.”
Three days and a half=350 years which approximately ranges from the 1620’s to around 1970 or so. Proving according to prophecy the Israelites would reawaken on a very large scale.
Ezekiel 11:16 “Therefore say, thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.”
Proving that in the last days there would be a lot of Israelite congregations waking up according to prophecy throughout the countries. I have documented a brief history of the truth being spread and only mention those that are up in age, seasoned and or died in this truth, and if I have left anyone of the older generation out please let me know and send a photo of the brother.
1800 A literate blacksmith named Gabriel Prosser taught the slaves thru inspiration of the Bible that we were God’s people and should rebel against the tyranny of America.
1831 A slave named Nat Turner was called The Prophet and raised a small slave rebellion based on Bible teachings and visions of war and blood he had. Many blacks today demonize this man who attempted to save them from oppression.
1896 William Saunders Crowdy in Lawrence, Kansas. Established “The Church of God and Saints of Christ” although he taught blacks were God’s people he mixed a lot of christianity in his teachings.
1915 F.S. Cherry set up the “Church of the Living God, the Pillar Ground of Truth for All Nations”. The group was founded Chattanooga, Tennessee
1920 Wentworth A. Matthews established the Commandment Keepers in Harlem N.Y. , he primarily based his learnings on so called jew-ish people. He rejected all New testament writings.
1929 Israel Ben Newman and Mordecai Herman established “The Moorish Zionist temple of the Moorish Jews” They also followed white Jewish teachings.
1930 Arnold Josiah Ford he and a small group of Black Jews went to Ethiopia where they participated in the coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie, created a school, and acquired 800 acres (320 ha) of land for the purpose of uniting Black Jews of the Diaspora with Ethiopians. He died there in 1935.
Near the end of the Civil Rights Movement there were several prominent Israelite teachers, it was around this time the truth was being taught on a larger scale, and in more areas.
1960 Eber Ben Yamyan also known as Abba Bivens was initially taught he was an Israelite by an ex-slave some many many years earlier in the South. Bivens believed in the Black Christ and on his way to NY had visited many Indian reservations and came to the scriptural conclusion that the so called Indians were Israelites as well. He then came to N.Y. and joined the commandment keepers under Matthews but rejected Matthews teachings of old testament only. Bivens founded the Israeli school. He was the first to teach both the blacks and Indians of the Americas are Israelites.
1963 Ben Carter also known as Ben Ammi led 300 Israelites from Chicago to Liberia and then to Dimona, Israel. Established “the African Hebrew Israelites ” He attempted to deliver his group from the curses of Deuteronomy 28:15-68 under the oppressive hand of America but soon discovered that oppression followed him to Dimona. Due to lack of citizenship they lacked the medical and dental capabilities to properly take care of one another so he agreed to support the Jew-ISH Israeli military allowing their young men to fight against the Palestinians in exchange for much needed supplies for their camp.
1965 William A. Lewis taught a congregation in Grand Junction, Michigan.
1970 Hulon Mitchell Jr. aka Yahweh ben Yahweh established the “nation of Yahweh” proclaimed himself god, the Son of god. He and many of his followers were arrested for murder, racketeering, Arson and many other crimes to establish themselves in various states. He was found guilty of these crimes in 1991 and died of colon cancer in prison.
1973 Moshe ben Chareem aka Masha, was chosen to carry on teaching in Abba Bivens place with Peter Sherrod aka Yaiqab. They took over the Israeli School adding U.P.K. (universal practical knowledge). Later in the 70’s they were helped by five other brothers and they were called the 7. They were offered several million dollars by the Rosicrucian’s to teach a more Christian or Jewish message of unity for all mankind as some of the other Israelite camps teach. Masha & Yaiqab refused. A Christian / Jewish message means negro will remain on the bottom of society and the full truth will never be taught.
1977 Shadrock Porter formed the Israelite Nation, where a Christian message of love and unity for all races is taught.
MATTHEW 13:31 “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.”
The Mustard tree is the Law and testimony, the birds that will lodge in the branches are the Israelites.
Jeremiah 12:9 ” Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird,….”
