According to Prophecy, We Are the Israelites

In this Message, According to Prophecy, We Are the Israelites, I examine the identity of the biblical Israelites through one standard above all others: the prophecies written in the Word of God.

Rather than relying on modern history, man-made charts, DNA arguments, or debates over appearances, this message compares the experiences of Black Americans and the African diaspora with biblical prophecies concerning slavery, ships, captivity, scattering among the nations, oppression, loss of identity, and eventual restoration.

Through scriptures including Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 26, Joel 3, Tobit 13, Hosea 1, and Luke 21, I make the case that these prophetic descriptions point directly to who we are. The ultimate question is not “Who does man say we are?” but “What does God’s Word say?”

According to prophecy, We Are the Israelites. “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” — Isaiah 40:8
