From a friends post:
 
In case you come across a “A black Hebrew Israelite, here are facts to debunk them!
The fake Black Hebrew Israelites cults claim that the curses in deut. 28 are pointing to the people of west African descent in America.
 
The reality is that all of the curses in Deuteronomy 28 were fulfilled during the Assyrian exile, The Babylonian captivity, the Greek persecution under Ptolemy and the Roman destruction/exile of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
 
The main verses that the fake black Hebrew Israelites appeal to is Deuteronomy 28:68. And the Lord will bring you “back to Egypt” in ships, through the way about which I had said to you, You will never see it again. And there, you will seek to be sold to your enemies for slaves and handmaids, but there will be no buyer.
 
The trans-Atlantic slave trade:
“The transatlantic slave trade involved the purchase by Europeans of enslaved men, women, and children from Africa and their transportation to the Americas, where they were sold for profit.”
 
And they claim that Egypt is symbolic of America.
 
This is a complete butchering of the text because nowhere in the entire outline of the curses in Deuteronomy28 is symbolic language being used.
 
Thus there is zero justification for using Egypt as anything other than a literal Egypt,Since everything else in the entire chapter of Deuteronomy 28 is taking literal.
 
What’s more, Deuteronomy 28:68 has literally been fulfilled in history!.
All of the fake black Hebrew Israelites regard the Apocrypha (which is part of the Catholic canon) as scripture.
 
Apparently they forgot to read 3 Maccabees 4:2-21 which records how Ptolemy sent the Jews to Egypt on slave ships in 320 BCE. Furthermore, the ancient Israelite historian Josephus records in “wars of the Jews: 6.9.2”, how the Romans sent the Jews to Egypt on slave ships after the 70 a.d. destruction/exile of Jerusalem.
 
So why would any sane person try to “symbolize” Egypt in Deuteronomy 28:68,When there is no symbolic language being used in the entire 28th chapter? This was literally fulfilled in recorded history.
 
The mere fact that a people has experienced slavery in the past is meaningless because practically every people group has experienced slavery in the past! In fact, a million Europeans were kidnapped and sent to North Africa on slave ships during the “Barbary slave trade”, look it up!
 
You have to fill all of the prophecies, which people of west African descent do not!
Deuteronomy 28:36 reads, “The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king (singular) which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, and there shalt thou serve other gods of wood and stone”!.
 
This was fulfilled in the Babylonian captivity which means everything in Deuteronomy 28 that is stated during or prior to verse 36 had to be fulfilled during or prior to the Babylonian captivity.
 
Notice that Ezekiel is called to preach to the Jews in the Babylonian captivity and repeatedly refers to them as “The House of Israel” in the entire 3rd chapter of Ezekiel. So, we know that “Israelites” and “Jews” were interchangeable terms after the Assyrian exile.
 
The reason that Deuteronomy 28:36 is a problem for the “BHI’s” is because it clearly states the Jews, as a nation, would have ONE KING to rule over them when this “far nation” (Isaiah 39:3 refers to Babylon as a far land) would come against them.
 
So you mean to tell me with a straight face that all of the myriads of west African tribes, from whom black Americans descend, had ONE KING ruling simultaneously over them in west Africa when they were taken as slaves? Really??? No!
 
Deuteronomy 28:52 reads, “And They shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down wherein thy trust, throughout all “THY LAND”!
(Israel) Not West Africa
 
This was fulfilled during the Babylonian captivity, which means everything in Deuteronomy 28 that is stated during or prior to verse 52 had to be fulfilled during or prior to the Babylonian captivity.
 
We know this is dealing with the Babylonian captivity because it clearly says that the Jews would be taken from “THY LAND”, ISRAEL, not west Africa!
 
The fake black Hebrew Israelites claim that there are no European Jews. If that’s the case, then why is there an ancient Israelite historian recording the presence of an entire tribe of Israel in Europe??? (See antiquities of the jews 11.5.2)
 
We learn in Numbers that “Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman” (Num. 12:1). A Cushite is from Cush, a region south of Ethiopia, where the people are known for their black skin.
 
So, Why was Miriam and Aaron angry at Moses for marrying a black woman, if you think Israel was black?
 
RECAP:
 
1. There is no metaphor language being used for America as being Egypt.
 
2. Israel was to be taken from the Land that Elohim gave to them, Israel! Not West Africa. Deut 28:52
 
3. Israel had 1 King not multiple kings like in West African Tribes. Deut. 28:36
 
4. Israel was rejected and no one bought them. West Africans were sold for profit as history records it. Deut. 28:68
 
The Black Hebrew Israelite movement is NOT the real Israelites
