The Black Hebrew Awakening: The Final 400 Years As Slaves In America

Rate this book
“And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I and afterward shall they come out with great sub-stance.” – Genesis 15:13-14 For most of our lives we've been taught that the church has replaced Israel, Israel migrated and mixed with all nations, and that God no longer cares about Israel... but if that's the case, how can the church trust anything that comes out of the mouth of God if he'd just back out on all the promises made to Israel? + God never abandoned Israel. + Christianity did not replace the nation of Israel. + Much of Christian doctrine was designed to reinforce white supremacy. One of the biggest travesties of the Transatlantic Slave Trade is that black culture prior to coming to America was completely erased on purpose. What couldn't be erased was eventually white washed until we were so uncertain of our identity that we began to identify with two lands... African American... + In the late 1400s Portugal began deporting black Hebrews to the West Coast of Africa. + European journals written before and after the Transatlantic slave trade confirm Hebrews were black. + French, English, Portuguese, and German maps show The Kingdom of Judah located in Africa. + A 1766 Spanish map has Negroland marked as "populated by Jews". The reason it is so hard to uncover our true history is because of Eurocentric Christian racism. Most of them and many of our own people simply refuse to look at the evidence, so they deflect in order to avoid it. + "Salvation isn't about race." + "Why does it matter?" + "You need to repent." They will say anything to keep us from teach OUR HISTORY from OUR BOOK. They want to teach the deception of a light, Middle Eastern, and olive Israel, while ignoring all the references to black Hebrews in the Bible. + Moses, Joseph, and Paul were all mistaken for Egyptians. + Job said, "my skin is black upon me." + Solomon's lover said, "I am black but lovely." When questioned about these inconsistencies with what we see in movies and on TV, the common Christian cop out is to try to explain it away as meaning something other than what the text indicates. + Daniel describes Christ as having skin the color of bronze in the book of Daniel. + John describes Christ as having skin the color of bronze in the book of Revelation. + Christ describes his own feet as the color of bronze in the book of Revelation. Ultimately, this book was written for TRUTH SEEKERS that want to know the true history of black people in America. This book isn't about race based salvation, God caring about skin color, or any other false reason false teachers look for in order to avoid the subject. The truth is that scripture was not written about Europeans, it wasn't written by Europeans, but it does address what's coming to the Europeans as payment for everything they've done on the planet. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:31-32

My Confirmation!

About 2weeks ago while sleeping I was told by GOD to find out who the children of Ishmael were and what they have to do with today. At 3am I got my phone and was lead to your book about Ishmael, from there I was lead to several other books written by you including this one. This book is worth 5 stars based on content alone, but 5 does not do it justice. The reference to scripture, along with the video's has proven far more valueable.
With that being said; My favorite quote is "know who you are and whose you are." After reading this book it solidified everything I already believe about our tribulations as black people in America and abroad complete with biblical evidence. I have often wondered while attending my ECC (Eurocentric Christian Chruch) why the pastor would always bless Israel but never acknowledge the true Israel. Or when I would bring up to others that I felt like the world wasn't blessing the real Israel that's why things aren't going the way they should I would be met with derision. I'm just happy to have this full revelation, I want everyone I know to read this book and study deeper. My plan is to share it with any and everyone who will listen and read. Thank you for the in-depth research and study.

Wow this book has my mind blown..

For the past 2 years I have been on a deep journey for knowledge and truth and I have been lead many places, I have prayed for spiritual guidance and discernment so I would not be misled. The Almighty has completely delivered. This book starts at the beginning with Adam and Eve and the Image of our Creator and brings it all the way home with the completion of the 400 year prophecy and the state of our people in America, politics and God's promises that are unfolding before our very eyes. Mr. Fortson's historical research and biblical references are spot on! I can't imagine anyone reading this book and not finishing it with a new, eye opening understanding of what has been done to hide an entire nation of people. I 100 percent recommend this book, read, study, pray, share, share share! God bless you all. For some reason it's not accepting my 5 star rating but know this... 5 stars twice!!!

Pastor Fortson, Thank you for writing such a great book. For years I have wondered were I came from and why YAHSHUA put it on my heart to find out. Your book is a inspiration. Please don't stop writing. I enjoy all your books. May Yahweh bless you.

Pastor Fortson.....Thank you for such a wonderful book. I always wanted to know why I was different. Why was. things happening the way it was when I was just a kid. More than forty years ago I was shot three times. I died for 15minutes. I saw heaven. No one can tell me he doesn't exist. YAHSHUA is live and in 3D. I've read most of your books and have enjoyed all of them. Thank you for teaching me things I didn't know. May Yahweh Bless You.

The book starts off as introducing what the book is about so you can understand exactly what you are going to read. He gives information that you can research as well as giving accurate information that can be proven. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I recommend everyone to read it.

Very informative information that brings understanding to the times we are living in.

This book was eye opening. I loved the way he used scripture to back up his research. I understand why this book has the final 400 years in the title because 400 years are up and the awakening and changes will continue to happen. I will read more of your work .
Thanks for the knowledge☺

WAS BLACK SLAVERY A PUNISHMENT OF GOD FOR ISRAEL'S DISOBEDIENCE?

Author and researcher Dante Fortson wrote in the introductory section of this 2018 book, “The question of why skin color matters is simple to those of us that understand how skin color has been used as a means of oppression, deception, and justification for committing evil all over the world… consider a few facts: *If someone is described as black in the Bible, but is presented as white, it tells us that the presenter is either uninformed or trying to deceive us… someone is trying to take credit for history that doesn’t belong to them… it tells us that the presenter has a problem with speaking the truth about black people in the Bible. A major example of deception based on skin color can be found in Isaiah 11:11. In the verse, only African nations are named as the locations which Israel will be gathered from. Africa is predominantly black, but Eurocentric Christianity claims that white Jews were re-gathered from Europe in fulfillment of prophecy. This is a direct contradiction of scripture that we’ll explore thoroughly later in this book.” (Pg. 3)

He notes, “There are plenty of false beliefs based around the Bible, one of which is the ‘curse’ of black skin. However, when we read the Bible, there are no curses that involve black skin, but there are two cases [Moses and his sister] where people were punished by having their skin turned white. This demonstrates that there was a reason for mentioning skin color, which is to combat the false doctrines that The Most High knew would come.” (Pg. 4)

He goes on, “One of the biggest lies that Eurocentric Christianity teaches is that anyone that believes in a black Christ must be a racist or belong to a Black Hebrew Israelite camp. Neither of those things are true. Teaching a black Christ is only divisive to racists that want to divide themselves from people teaching the truth, but that’s no reason to not teach the truth.” (Pg. 5)

He quotes Genesis 2:7, then explains, “there is a layer of ground referred to as clay. This layer … is known specifically as ‘red clay.’ In fact, there is no such thing as ground/dust that looks remotely similar to Caucasian skin in that [part] of the world. The White Sands Monument in New Mexico is the exception to the rule, but neither the Bible nor Eurocentric Christian doctrine teach that creation occurred in New Mexico… If Adam was made in the image of God, and both are described in scripture as similar in color, then it is consistent to believe that Adam was a reddish-brown clay colored man. He was not white, olive, or Middle Eastern.” (Pg. 19-21)

He notes, “This is a simple, but often overlooked minor detail. The garden was planted in Eden, but the garden was not Eden…” (Pg. 13) After outlining the four rivers mentioned in Gen 2:11-14, he states, “The Euphrates runs right through the Fertile Crescent, but we do not see the other three rivers… It is important to understand that … [Moses] was using post-flood, post-divide geography to explain where everything was at his present time… The problem with figuring out how large the river was is that the size of Ethiopia [h]as changed throughout history… the river must have been larger than usual in order for Moses to emphasize that it encompassed Ethiopia… [in] modern maps, we see that Ethiopia is right across the Red Sea from Havilah. This means that the Garden of Eden was relatively close to these areas, which means that Eden (not the garden) likely included those areas… An honest discussion about the location of Eden must include Africa…” (Pg. 14-16)

He asserts, “When we understand that Arabs trace their lineage through Ishmael, it also gives us some insight to why suicide bombings and war seem to be constant problems in the region… This prophecy [Gen 16:11-12] describes a nation of people that would constantly be at war with everyone. All we have to do is look at the news to see that it is true that Arabs are at war with many nations, and even with limited weapons and technology are proving impossible to defeat. More importantly, they’ve lived in the Middle East for thousands of years, even outlasting Israel residency in the region. It’s also important to understand that Arabs were not always as light as they are now. As with the Egyptians, thousands of years of mixing with Europeans has made them lighter skinned.” (Pg. 63-64)

He argues, “While Jacob and Esau were twins, the Bible only tells us the color of Esau… Scripture tells us that he was ‘red’ and ‘hairy,’ which leads to lots of people teaching the false notion that he was Caucasian. There are two belief systems that teach this false doctrine: *Christian Identity: A Eurocentric faith that teaches white supremacy and that black people are a beast race… *Black Hebrew Israelite Camps: A pro-black faith that teaches that Esau was a white man with blushing skin, born to a black man, and had a black brother (Jacob). Even though these two belief systems seem to be complete opposites, we’ll see many examples here they both teach the same exact doctrine. These overlapping doctrines have caused some of us to suspect that many BHI Camps are COINTELPRO operations, disguised as pro-black extremist movements, designed to destroy the credibility of this field of research.” (Pg. 71)

He states, “Think about that… minority neighborhoods get abortion clinics and predominantly white neighborhoods get fertility clinics… This was part of Margaret Sanger’s plan from the very beginning… There is a legal genocide happening right here in America… They use the excuse that Planned Parenthood offers other services, but what ‘other services’ excuse the genocide of unborn babies? Make no mistake, abortion is legal genocide disguised as ‘a woman’s right to choose.’” (Pg. 77-78)

He points out, “We know what Egyptians looked like because they painted themselves on their walls and in art with dark skin. If Moses didn’t have dark skin, he wouldn’t have been mistaken for an Egyptian. When confronted with this information from scripture, Europeans and many black pastors that were indoctrinated with Eurocentric Christianity, will often [suggest]… Egyptians were really dark skinned Caucasians… Reference to black skin in the Bible are almost always met with doubt, derision, anger, or an attempt to explain it away as something else.” (Pg. 116)

After recounting the story of God’s turning Moses’ hand leprous, he observes, “It God turned Moses’ hand white, then Moses’ hand wasn’t white to begin with. The reason that is usually never brought up in Eurocentric Christianity is because they focus 100% on the word ‘leprous’ and avoid talking about skin color. Turning a white or light skinned person a shade or two lighter isn’t as impressive as turning black skin as white as snow.” (Pg. 118)

He suggests, “Christ originally told his disciples that the Gospel was not to be preached to the Gentiles or the Samaritans… the disciples knew who the Gentiles were because they could be identified by their skin color, since they were European descendants of Japeth. Paul’s missionary journeys present a mountain of evidence toward establishing the theory that Europeans are the Gentiles referred to in scripture.” (Pg. 210-211) Later, he adds, “It the people of Africa and Arabia were considered Gentiles, the disciples would have been disobeying Christ by going there. Christianity was not brought to black people by Europeans, it was brought to Europeans by black people.” (Pg. 224)

After quoting Luke 21:24, he states, “Eurocentric Christian doctrine … applies this verse to all Christian believers, even though historically ONLY black descendants of the Transatlantic Slave Trade have been led away captive into all nations. Slavery was always the punishment for rejecting the Most High… The key phrase here is ‘led away captive into all nations.’ … That’s what differentiates Israel’s enslavement from every other enslavement in history.” (Pg. 237)

He states, “When we look at the history of America, its symbols, and laws, we find a much more sinister intent behind the founding of this nation than we’re led to believe… America has committed more wrongs than there’s room to cover in this book, and yet many still view it as a nation ‘under God.’ If all of the evidence is correct, then America is indeed one nation under God… the god of this world.” (Pg. 259)

He says, “Arthur Koestler’s historical research [in ‘The Thirteenth Tribe’] proves that the people claiming to be Jews today are not… Martin Richards’ DNA research proves that the people claiming to be Jews today are not the people described in the Bible.” (Pg. 285)

He suggests, “If the Most High is gathering Israel, it would place the time frame at the end of the last 400 years of captivity. For an Israelite to be in the outmost parts of heaven (outer space) [see Deut. 30:3-4], there would have to be a level of technology in existence that could get them there. This brings us to the internet. Is it possible that scripture hints at a technology that would suddenly change the knowledge level of mankind?” (Pg. 306)

Of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, he says, “This amendment actually legalizes slavery by adding it to the Constitution. What follows the passing of this amendment are 150+ years of laws targeted at black people in order to convict us of crimes, with the purpose of LEGALLY putting us back into slavery. Our slavery in America was never meant to end, just moved out of the viewing eye of the general public. Now slavery can be practiced in the open because those in slavery are branded as ‘criminals’---and nobody wants criminals running around loose in society.” (Pg. 308)

He acknowledges, “The election of Barack Obama as president … played a huge role in how the black community perceived voting… Even those of us that don’t support the Democrat platform felt a sense of pride in seeing one of our own occupying the highest office in the land. But it is my belief that Obama was allowed to win in order for us to comprehend the reality of our situation… We must go even higher and call out to The Most High. It is only he that can and will change our situation.” (Pg. 321-322)

Those interested in this book will probably want to read Fortson’s other (and, to my mind, better) books such as ‘Undeniable: Full Color Evidence of Black Israelites in the Bible’; ‘Hebrews Had Dark Skin: Evidence in the Old and New Testaments’; ‘Pre-Slavery Christians: It Was Never the White Man’s Religion,’ etc.
