Hebrew History 101 | From Byword to Birthright | Reclaiming Our Divine Identity

By -
Image
Intro: Reclaiming identity is the ultimate act of defiance against the "bywords" of the nations. Our history didn't start on a slave ship, and our identity isn't a mystery—it’s just been hidden from us like an old family secret waiting for the right generation to uncover it. We’ve heard the whispers, we’ve felt the pull, but for too long, many of us have carried names and labels given to us by others – bywords that feel like heavy stones tied to our ankles. Derogatory names that define our skin color - nigger, spook, coon, negro, Black; a name that defines a culture - Afro-American; a name that define nations - African-American; and a name that define our status to a nation - Foundational Black Americans. Whether they are slurs that weaponize our skin, national labels that anchor us to our captors, or titles that define us by our status in a strange land, these are all but bywords - masks of the diaspora designed to hide the face of the Hebrew.

Hebrew History 101 | "Crossing Over" | Unearthing Our Hebrew Roots

By -
Image
Our history didn't start on a slave ship, and our identity isn't a mystery - it’s just been tucked away like an old family secret waiting for the right generation to uncover it. Sometimes the most important parts of who we are get buried under layers of someone else's story, but the truth of our lineage has a way of calling out to us, even across the oceans and through the years. We’ve been told our past is a blank slate, but if you look closely at the path our ancestors walked, you’ll see the footprints of a people who knew exactly who they were long before they were told they were nobody. A Call to Remembrance (Introduction) (To be read with a steady, rhythmic pace - like a heartbeat) Look at your hands. Look at your family, friends, neighbors, etc., who call themselves Black Americans, African-Americans, etc. For a long time, we were taught that our history was a series of curses - that we ended up here because of a specific curse - GOD cursed Ham (Genesis 9:25), which i...

Towering Ambitions - Nimrod, the Men of Renown, and the Clash with Divine Order

By -
Image
Intro: In the annals of ancient history, few figures loom as large or as controversially as Nimrod. His story, though brief in the biblical text, ignites a profound theological question: what happens when human ambition strives to build a name for itself, not for GOD’s glory, but for its own? From the "men of renown" before the Flood to Nimrod's kingdom-building after it, the Genesis narrative reveals a recurring tension between humanity's drive to establish its own dominion and the divine call to humble submission. This isn't merely a tale of brick and mortar; it's a timeless exploration of power, purpose, and the ultimate source of true renown. Before the Flood: The Men of Renown and Their Self-Made Glory Long before Nimrod, Genesis introduces us to a world where human might began to eclipse divine design. In Genesis 6:4, prior to the great flood, we read about the Nephilim ( נְפִילִים ), often translated as "giants," and "the mighty men who...
