review 1: I have been blessed to find out who the true Israelites are, thanks to Holy Scripture and knowledgable teachers. Reading through the curses of the Israelites in Deuteronomy, I think it's pretty obvious who they are if we think about world history..."Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:The LORD shall b... morering thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee."These curses would come upon the Israelites if they chose to disobey the commandments given by the Father through the prophet Moshe (Moses). The punishment would be that another nation would enslave them, and they would be brought very low, and taken out of their land by ships. This is speaking of the African-American people, of course, without a doubt. They are the true Hebrew Israelites, the nation of people the Bible speaks of. The people currently claiming to be the Jews are not. Revelations speaks of a people who will lie and say they are His chosen people. I want to let all my African-American brother and sisters know who they really are; their true heritage which was taken away from them as punishment. You were chosen to be the light of the world, a guide unto the other nations, so that we may all know the Heavenly Father and His ways. Because you rebelled, you are now in a fallen state, but your destiny is to reign with Christ on earth, along with others who accept Him, in the New Kingdom.
review 2: Crazy book. I read all of it, including the Apocrypha, and I am glad that I did because it makes me understand religion a lot more, especially one that is so influential upon the world, socially, politically, culturally and aesthetically. It was better to read the original, albeit in translation, so that I could see and perceive for myself. It comes in the form of an epic historiography, written by different people, and the New Testament shows a break and progression into a new Christian religion from the Judaic Old Testament and Apocrypha. It has many fantastic elements, like visions and miracles, married with much admonishment and preaching. So much of it is open to interpretation and dare I say it, confused, but the overriding sense I got from it was that faith in its God is paramount. I ideologically disagree with much of it, especially as a non-believer, but think it a good reflection of humans, who created it, that it holds psychological interest for that, and that there are a number of good stories in it. The tone is beguilingly fervent and insane, even if it is overly long and sometimes feels silly. less
