Debunking Colonial Lies

The Great Awakening involves actively identifying and debunking the pervasive colonial lies that have deliberately obscured our true identity as Yashar'al and the correct understanding of scripture and geography. For centuries, colonial powers and associated religious institutions have propagated false narratives and manipulated maps to disconnect us from our heritage and the true location of our promised land. Charts and teachings from sources like the cited OverviewBible often tie the tribes solely to the modern Middle East, ignoring or downplaying the clear scriptural prophecies of our scattering to the "four corners of the earth" (Debarim (Deuteronomy) 28:64, YashaYAHU 11:12) and the specific curses involving ships (Debarim 28:68) and exile among African nations. Similarly, attempts by groups like the cited IsraelUnite to misattribute tribal identities to Native American or Hispanic populations are seen as further deception, contradicting the specific prophetic markers and historical realities of the transatlantic slave trade and prophecies pointing towards Africa (YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 18:1-2 –land beyond rivers of Kush). These colonial interpretations serve to maintain control and prevent us from recognizing our true status and inheritance.

Deeper Revelation: The methods of colonial deception were multifaceted. Colonial missionaries (e.g., the cited London Missionary Society, active 1799–1900s) often encountered practices among African peoples that clearly resonated with Torah (like Xhosa circumcision) but deliberately mislabeled them as "pagan" or "savage" to justify cultural assimilation and conversion to Europeanized Christianity, thereby severing us from our ancestral ways (Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 12:3 connection ignored). Colonial education systems, particularly mission schools (cited as 80% in Sub-Saharan Africa by 1900 teaching Ashkenazi-centric narratives), systematically erased our history and promoted the false idea that European Jews were the sole inheritors of the covenant, completely ignoring the physical evidence (like Lemba genetics confirming priestly lineage, Thomas et al., 2000) and oral traditions pointing to our presence in Africa. Cartography was another tool; colonial mapmakers deliberately mislabeled regions and shifted biblical geography towards the Middle East, obscuring the location of Canaan and Arzareth and reinforcing the narrative of European succession. This directly contradicts scriptural pointers like Debarim (Deuteronomy) 29:28 ("cast them into another land") and physical evidence like the cited 2023 Drakensberg inscriptions (500 CE) suggesting ancient Semitic presence deep within Africa. 

Refuting False Narratives

Beyond general colonial lies, specific false narratives actively work to undermine the truth of our identity as the African and African-descended Yashar'al. These must be directly confronted and refuted using scripture and verifiable evidence. One primary falsehood is the claim of Ashkenazi Yahudyim (European Jews) to be the sole or primary inheritors of the covenant. This claim crumbles under the weight of prophecy; they demonstrably do not fit the curses of Debarim 28, particularly the scattering by ships (Debarim 28:68) and the specific physical and social afflictions endured by our people (Igbo, Maroons, African Americans, Bantu groups) during centuries of captivity and oppression. Their historical origins in the Khazar region of Eastern Europe further contradict a direct lineage from the tribes who inhabited Canaan. Another pervasive falsehood is the Europeanized depiction of YAHUSHA Ha’Mashiach. Relics like the Shroud of Turin, often presented as evidence, show DNA inconsistent with the scriptural and historical understanding of YAHUSHA as a Yahudiy (Judean) man from the tribe of Yahudah, whose people were dark-skinned, as affirmed by passages like Shir haShirim (Song of Solomon) 1:5 ("I am black, but comely"). Promoting a white image of the Messiah is a deliberate tactic to disconnect us from our King and Savior. Theological falsehoods like the Trinity doctrine also contradict the fundamental principle of YaHU’aH's absolute oneness, clearly stated in the Shema (Debarim 6:4) and affirmed by YAHUSHA himself (Yoḥanan (John) 10:30 interpreted as unity in purpose, not substance). Furthermore, claims by groups like Mormons regarding Native American lineage to Yashar'al are directly debunked by scriptural accounts like 2 Esdras 13:40-46, which clearly describes the ten tribes migrating to Arzareth, not the Americas. The physical evidence of our presence in Africa, from Drakensberg rock art to historical accounts like Ibn Khaldun's, stands as irrefutable testimony against these false narratives.

Deeper Revelation: Rabbinic texts like the Talmud, while containing historical and legal discussions, often ignore or reinterpret prophecies concerning the worldwide scattering of Yashar'al, particularly into Africa (YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 11:11), focusing instead on European or Middle Eastern narratives. This selective interpretation aids in obscuring the identity of the true descendants enduring the curses, such as the Igbo facing economic devastation through redlining (cited $200 billion loss), a modern fulfillment of being "robbed and spoiled" (YashaYAHU (Isaiah) 42:22). Mystical texts like the Zohar present concepts of the Messiah that often align more with European esoteric traditions than with the scriptural portrayal of YAHUSHA as the Davidic king returning to rule from Tsiyon (Daniy’el (Daniel) 7:13-14). In contrast, authentic historical sources like ancient Falasha manuscripts (preserving unique scriptural traditions) and the travelogues of figures like Ibn Battuta (1350s, describing established kingdoms in Africa) provide tangible evidence of our long-standing presence and adherence to covenant principles on the African continent. 

Refuting these lies is essential for our people to fully reclaim our identity and understand our prophetic destiny.

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
