"You will become a 'Byword'..."

The horrific term “Nigger,” forced upon our people, the Yashar’alites scattered in the diaspora, is understood not merely as a racial slur but as the direct fulfillment of specific scriptural curses designed to strip us of our true Ibriy identity and heritage during our captivity. Below is a detailed exploration of this term’s impact, its prophetic significance, and the cultural movements addressing it, with hyperlinked sources for historical, linguistic, and cultural claims:

• Etymology and Weaponization of the Term:
  • The term “Nigger” traces its roots through Spanish *negro* and French *nègre* back to Latin *niger* (meaning black) (additional source).
  • Its weaponization during the transatlantic slave trade transformed it into a tool of dehumanization, aligning precisely with the prophecy in 
  • Debarim (Deuteronomy) 28:37: "And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither YaHU’aH shall lead thee." Being reduced to a "byword" signifies losing one's true name and identity, being known instead by a term of contempt imposed by oppressors.

• Systemic Erasure of Identity:
  • The systemic erasure of our original Hebrew names during the brutal process of enslavement (a complex process involving loss, adaptation, and the development of distinct naming patterns even during slavery, though a specific figure of 90% by 1800 is difficult to verify from available sources, see also) and the violent enforcement of this derogatory label are seen as the literal enactment of this curse.

• Prophetic Reproach and Taunt:
  • YirmeYAHU (Jeremiah) 24:9 further prophesies that we would be delivered "to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them."
  • The term "Nigger" encapsulates this reproach, taunt, and curse, becoming synonymous with our subjugation and suffering in the lands of our captivity, particularly in Mystery Babylon (America).
  • The persistence of this slur and its devastating psychological impact, alongside related terms like "kaffir" used against Bantu (South Africa) (additional source), serve as ongoing reminders of this prophetic fulfillment.
  • The lament in 2 Esdras 15:46 regarding the oppression of the chosen people in the latter-day Babylon resonates with this experience of being stripped of dignity and identity through such bywords.

• Cultural Movements and Restoration:
  • However, even this painful marker is being addressed in the Great Awakening, as seen in cultural movements (like hip-hop's complex engagement with the term) (additional source) attempting to reclaim or neutralize its power, foreshadowing the ultimate restoration promised in YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 61:7, where shame is replaced with double honor.

Deeper Revelation:

• Legal Codification of Dehumanization:
  • The legal codification of dehumanization, exemplified by laws like the Barbados Slave Code of 1661, which stripped enslaved Africans of basic human rights and solidified their status as property (additional source), provided the legal framework for enforcing the "curse" and "reproach" prophesied in YirmeYAHU (Jeremiah) 24:9.

• Personal Accounts of Renaming:
  • Personal accounts, such as Olaudah Equiano’s 1789 narrative detailing the brutal process of renaming (he was forcibly renamed Gustavus Vassa, source) and the use of derogatory terms to strip Igbo captives of their identity, offer firsthand testimony to this prophetic fulfillment.

• Acts of Resistance:
  • Yet, acts of resistance, like the Maroon practice of rejecting slave names upon gaining freedom and potentially retaining or creating African-based names and conducting naming ceremonies (additional source), represent a powerful counter-narrative, a refusal to fully succumb to the byword and a clinging to our heritage, aligning with the promise of eventual restoration and "everlasting joy" (YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 61:7).

• Identity Confirmation:
  • The very existence of this prophetic byword, tragically applied to us, becomes further proof of our identity as the people enduring the specific curses outlined in scripture.

 The suffering endured by the twelve tribes of Yashar'al did not end with the formal abolition of chattel slavery; rather, it transformed into new forms of oppression, fulfilling prophecies of ongoing affliction in the end times, particularly within the lands of our captivity like Mystery Babylon (America). The legacy of the slave trade cast a long shadow, manifesting as systemic racism, economic exploitation, social injustice, and spiritual deception – trials that continue to mark our experience today. Below is a detailed exploration of these afflictions, supported by scripture and historical context:

Prophetic Afflictions and Hatred: 

• YAHUSHA Ha’Mashiach Himself warned His followers in MattithYAHU (Matthew) 24:9, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.”  

• This hatred and affliction are evident in countless historical and contemporary examples, such as the tragic killing of Breonna Taylor in 2020 (additional source), symbolizing the ongoing vulnerability of our people to state-sanctioned violence.

Modern Captivity Through Mass Incarceration: 

• The curse in Debarim (Deuteronomy) 28:41, “Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity,” finds a modern echo in the devastating reality of mass incarceration, disproportionately affecting Black Americans (cited at The Sentencing Project).  

• Cited as a high lifetime risk for Black men at FWD.us, though improving from earlier 1-in-3 estimates, with nearly 2 million total incarcerated in the US recently at Prison Policy Initiative, tearing families apart and perpetuating cycles of disadvantage – a new form of captivity.

Economic Exploitation and Plundering: 

• Furthermore, the prophecy in YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 42:22 describes us as “a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.”  

• This speaks directly to the economic exploitation endured through practices like redlining (University of Richmond) (systemic denial of services like mortgages based on race National Archives), which historically stripped Black communities of wealth (cited as contributing to cumulative losses estimated at $156 billion in undervalued homes Brookings Institution).  

• And created vast disparities (cited with median Black household wealth being roughly 15% that of white households in 2022 National Community Reinvestment Coalition).  

• The economic engine of the industrial revolutions in Europe and America was significantly fueled by the wealth extracted from slave labor (as argued by historians like (Beckert, 2014), leaving our communities systematically underdeveloped and contributing to the stark wealth gap persisting into 2025 (cited again, median Black wealth remains roughly 15% of white wealth Brookings Institution).  

• The "plundering" described in YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 42:22 is further exemplified by policies like 1960s "urban renewal" programs in the US, which often targeted and displaced thriving Black neighborhoods (cited as affecting hundreds of thousands, disproportionately Black families Boston Review), echoing the curse in Debarim (Deuteronomy) 28:30 about building houses but not dwelling in them.

Health Disparities as a Manifestation of Curses: 

• Health disparities, such as the tragically high Black maternal mortality rate (cited as 50.3 per 100,000 in 2023 CDC), are also seen as manifestations of these ongoing curses and systemic neglect.

Spiritual Deception and False Mashiachs: 

• Compounding these physical and economic afflictions is the spiritual deception warned about in MattithYAHU (Matthew) 24:24, where false Mashiachs and prophets arise, deceiving many.  

• This is interpreted within this framework as including the promotion of a false, Europeanized image of YAHUSHA and the obfuscation of our true identity by groups like Ashkenazi Yahudyim, who, lacking the specific curses of Debarim 28:68 (exile by ships), are seen as usurpers who further obscure the truth about the real Yashar’al.  

• These ongoing trials serve as painful, yet confirming, evidence of our identity as the people enduring the specific end-time afflictions prophesied in scripture.

Deeper Revelation: 

• The economic engine of the industrial revolutions in Europe and America was significantly fueled by the wealth extracted from slave labor (as argued by historians like Beckert, 2014), leaving our communities systematically underdeveloped and contributing to the stark wealth gap persisting into 2025 (cited again, median Black wealth remains roughly 15% of white wealth Brookings Institution).  
• The "plundering" described in YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 42:22 is further exemplified by policies like 1960s "urban renewal" programs in the US, which often targeted and displaced thriving Black neighborhoods (cited as affecting hundreds of thousands, disproportionately Black families Boston Review), echoing the curse in Debarim (Deuteronomy) 28:30 about building houses but not dwelling in them.  
• These historical and ongoing afflictions are not random misfortunes but are understood as the continuation of the prophesied curses upon Yashar'al for disobedience, confirming our identity and highlighting the urgent need for repentance and return to YaHU’aH's ways.
