The Black Hebrew Awakening“And I will give you pastors according tomine heart, which shall feed you with knowledgeand understanding.” – Jeremiah 3:151

www.BlackHistoryInTheBible.comChapter 1: In The BeginningWhat if everything we were taught about the Bible and history was onlya small part of the truth? When it comes to the Garden of Eden, we’reoften bombarded with information about the Middle East, but rarely isthere a focus on the fact that one of the rivers encompassed a majorportion of Africa. Paintings, TV shows, and movies create our perceptionof Eden for us, but rarely are the words of the Bible taken into consideration when the images we’re shown are created.The automatic assumption is that Adam and Eve were Caucasian. Forthe last 700 years Europeans have been in a position of power, whichhas allowed them to influence the way the world perceives people inthe Bible. In order to come out of the deception and break off thechains of deception, we must start at the very beginning so that we canunderstand not only the truth, but also the lies that have been used tokeep that truth hidden from us.“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mightythings, which thou knowest not.” – Jeremiah 33:3The Location of EdenThe Cradle of Civilization is believed to be where mankind got its start.All of my life, I’ve heard two different arguments for where this actuallyoccurred: AfricaMesopotamia (Middle East)There’s no way that both arguments could be right or could they? InWestern society, we tend to think of The Middle East as some separatearea not associated with Africa, but that couldn’t be further from the2

The Black Hebrew Awakeningtruth. The Middle East was physically connected to Africa until the SuezCanal was built in 1869 to permanently separate Africa from Israel. Before European invasion, most of the area was under African control forthousands of years. Let’s look at a map of Africa, Israel, and the MiddleEast, before we continue. Pay special attention to where each area islocated.If there is still doubt in your mind as to the physical connection of Israelto Africa, here is a Tectonic Plate map. Notice that Israel is part of theAfrican plate.3

www.BlackHistoryInTheBible.comNow that we have a clear idea of where everything is located on a map,it seems obvious that The Cradle of Civilization can’t be located both inAfrica and the Middle East. Africa is part of the African Plate.Mesopotamia is part of the Arabian Plate.I struggled with a definitive answer for a long time until I decided totake up a study on The Garden of Eden. The answer to this questionmay lie in what we know about pre-divide geography.Pre-Divide GeographyScience supports the belief that earth was all one single landmassnamed Pangaea before it was divided. It was the study of The Garden ofEden that prompted me to look deeper into Pangaea, the name thatscientists gave the world before the earth was rearranged by continental drift. Take a look at the following map of what scientists believe theworld looked like before it was divided.4

The Black Hebrew AwakeningIf we look at this pre-divide map, based on the Continental Drift Theory,we see that Saudi Arabia and The Cradle of Civilization are connected toAfrica, and nothing else (not Europe or Asia). This scientific theory actually supports both sides of the argument, because the current MiddleEast was once considered to be part of Africa. Some believe that Continental Drift Theory supports the following verse:“And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in hisdays was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.” – Genesis10:25We could argue that because the earth was all one giant land mass, thatthere was no “Africa” at the time and that would be correct. However,5

www.BlackHistoryInTheBible.comwhile it wasn’t Africa in name, people with similar skin color still inhabited the area, pre and post divide. In order to understand the origin ofthese people, we need to start in The Garden of Eden. Those that dismiss Pangaea as valid science, probably do so to hold onto the beliefthat Israel is part of Asia and not Africa. Let’s look at the difference between Eden and the Garden of Eden.Eden Was Not The GardenThis is a simple, but often overlooked minor detail. The garden wasplanted in Eden, but the garden was not Eden. To understand whereEden was, we need to consider where the garden was:“And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he putthe man whom he had formed.” – Genesis 2:8We see that the garden was planted eastward in Eden, and if we acceptthe explanation that the garden was in Mesopotamia, we need to understand where Mesopotamia is:6

The Black Hebrew AwakeningAs the map shows, Mesopotamia takes up the entire area separatingthe Middle East from Asia. This area is known as The Fertile Crescent. Ifwe refer back to the Pangaea map, we will see that The Fertile Crescentwas as far east as anyone could travel before running into the ocean,pre Continental Drift or pre divide. If the garden was planted in the east,it means Eden also encompassed the land to the west of the garden. Onthe Pangaea map, the land to the west is Arabia, Africa, South America,and a small portion of Florida. One final explanation for Eden is that itcould represent the entire land mass that we refer to as Pangaea. However, when we look at the Biblical geography, the only locations mentioned are African and Arabian rivers. The names of those rivers are:1.2.3.4.Pison (Genesis 2:11) – Encompassed HavilahGihon (Genesis 2:13) – Encompassed EthiopiaHiddekel (Genesis 2:14) – Flows east toward AssyriaEuphrates (Genesis 2:14) – No description given.The Euphrates runs right through the Fertile Crescent, but we do notsee the other three rivers. In order to get a better idea of the area, let’slook at the locations of Havilah and Ethiopia. It is important to understand that even though Moses is was writing about pre-flood events, hewas using post flood, post divide geography to explain where everythingwas at his present time.7

www.BlackHistoryInTheBible.comThe map shows us that Havilah was most of The Arabian Peninsula, which onthe Pangaea map was part of Africa, and only Africa. Now let’s take a look atthe location and size of modern day Ethiopia.The problem with figuring out how large the river was is that the size ofEthiopia as changed throughout history. At one point the entire continent of Africa was called Ethiopia, but what we do know is that the rivermust have been larger than usual in order for Moses to emphasize thatit encompassed Ethiopia. After looking at the modern maps, we see thatEthiopia is right across the Red Sea from Havilah. That means that the8

The Black Hebrew AwakeningGarden of Eden was relatively close to these areas, which means thatEden (not the garden) likely included these areas.Bible Fact: The Garden of Eden was destroyed in Noah’s flood. Thosethat go looking for it probably won’t find its exact location ever, but theland referred to as Eden still exists.An honest discussion about the location of Eden must include Africa, butit’s rare that it gets mentioned. The reason for that may be that once westart discussing Africa, it makes us call into question the Caucasianpaintings of Adam and Eve we’re use to seeing. Caucasian skin was notdesigned for daily life in Africa without modern amenities such as sunscreen and air conditioning. This brings us to the image of God.Let Us Make Man In Our ImageIn the beginning The Most High created man in his image, but that image would need to include the ability to live in the harsh African sunafter being booted from the garden. Why does it matter what Adam and the Creator look like?It’s not about race.God doesn’t care about skin color.These are the arguments made by people in fear of the truth and inmost cases it comes from Europeans, but not always. There are someHebrew brothers and sisters that just accept what they’ve been told tobelieve, and don’t want anyone to start asking questions. Nobody says it’s not about race when the Irish want to celebrate their history and apply it to Irish people.Nobody says it’s not about race when we discuss Native American history and apply it to Native Americans.9

www.BlackHistoryInTheBible.com Nobody says it’s not about race when we want to talk aboutMexican history and apply it to Mexicans.The only time people get shifty and want to change the subject aboutrace is when it comes to the Bible being the history of descendants ofthe Transatlantic Slave Trade. Ask yourself why that double standardexists. It’s because there are things that we aren’t supposed to knowabout the Bible and how it pertains to the descendants of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.Control The Church, Control The CommunityDuring slavery black people weren’t allowed to read, but many wouldsneak and read the Bible under the fear of beatings and sometimesdeath. Those that understood the words of the Bible also understoodthat something didn’t quite add up. What was being taught in the bookwas much different than the religion and actions being practiced by Europeans. Europeans were committing rape of men and women whichthe Bible forbids (Deuteronomy 22:22-26).Europeans were practicing lifetime slavery which the Bibleforbids (Deuteronomy 15:12).Europeans were practici0ng brutality of slaves which the Bibleforbids (Exodus 21:26-27).In order for Europeans to do what they did, they were forced to create areligion around the Bible, but not based on the Bible. This “shell” assumed the name Christianity to connect it with the Bible, even though ithas no connection to scripture at all. It is true that believers in Christwere called Christians in Antioch (Acts 11:26), but the theft of namesand reapplication of them to other people and practices is a themethroughout European history. It was this “shell religion” that waspreached to the slaves. For the remainder of this book, we’ll refer to10

The Black Hebrew Awakeningthis religion as Eurocentric Christianity in order to differentiate it fromBiblical Christianity. It’s close enough to the truth that few people question it, but far enough from the truth to make it a separate false religion. Black slaves weren’t allowed to read openly, they were only allowed to teach Eurocentric Christianity the way the slave masters toldthem they could teach it. This form of doctrinal control was beneficial tothe slave master for several reasons: The master told black preachers what to preach.Black pastors preached the master’s words as gospel.The black congregation followed those words as gospel.Europeans figured out that if they control the black pastors, they couldcontrol the people in the congregation which at the time were themajority of black people. This same tactic would be used again in 1939by “The Negro Project” in order to get the black community to acceptabortion as a means of birth control. Slave owners weren’t worriedabout slaves figuring out that they were being taught lies. The same canbe said about many black churches today. Black pastors usually attend a European seminary where theyare taught Eurocentric Christian doctrine in most cases.The pastor comes out teaching Eurocentric Christian doctrine tothe congregation, which is rarely ever questioned.The congregation follows those words as gospel instead of reading scripture to see for themselves (Acts 17:11).One of the biggest lies in Eurocentric Christian doctrine is that weshould never ever talk about race in the Bible. There are several otherfalse teachings that go hand in hand with it. The Bible doesn’t mention skin color not true.The Bible doesn’t say what Christ looked like not true.The Bible isn’t about race not true.11
