fter 400 years of ever-increasing division, will America soon fall? This nation has not been this divided since the civil war. Even the Christian church in America, historically divided by race, methodology and religious doctrine is more divided than ever, adding differences in political ideology to the mix.
With racial bias and hatred rising throughout the nation, promoted by politics, religion, education and industry, man has loomed larger, and God has become smaller. There appears to be little hope of reconciliation into one body of Christ.
Political government in the United States is now a farce which promotes absurdity, rudeness and gross self-aggrandize- ment and little regard for serving the needs of the people at large. Shameless pharmaceutical science and ungodly wealthy individuals have collaborated to engineer ways of depopulating the earth with "crowd killing" drugs.
The world food supply is poised to become a genetically manipulated killer of large unassuming populations, anywhere on the globe. Germ warfare, developed for wartime use, has been released on innocent populations within the US, for little or no beneficial purpose. Our bi-partisan government is far too busily engaged with clown-car episodes of in-fighting or self-promotion for fundraising purposes to be concerned about the latest version of
Eugenics supported by White wealth. The goal of the uber rich is no longer to merely control the wealth, but to control and subjugate all of
humanity. This represents a rare form of idolatry. The gods they worship are manifest solely in their mirrors.
The question is, will God restore America or will God destroy America? The problem is this: America was never founded on godliness. It

was always a ransacking, a people of bloodlust that massacred and plundered for position, possession, and self-aggrandizement. It began on American soil; it continued abroad.
The past 400 years cover a very dark period of evil that enshrouds this nation’s historical legacy. The unimaginable horrors of slavery were declared ended by fiat in the middle of a civil war. But rather than end slavery altogether, it merely transitioned into a slavery hybrid: It included share cropping, prison "chain" gang laborers, and every form of terrorism designed to minimize hope and instill constant fear.
White terrorist attacks included entire Black community massacres, public lynchings, church bombings, assassination of leaders, racially biased judges and juries, sanctioned police thugs, rapes, Black babies used as alligator bait, near-death floggings, tar and feathering, immolations, terrorist groups, and other forms of evil which could be inflicted at-will by White citizens against anyone not considered a White person in America.
Civic groups, legislative bodies, educators and parents all have a concern about the impact of the past 400 years on White America’s reputation and Black America’s true history. But many want to dismiss it as a small bump in America’s
past, undeserving of historical mention.
In Florida, Utah, Missouri, Texas and South Carolina, Black-authored books referencing the shameful historical events
of this period of time are being banned by state government from public libraries and schools. Some reason that it is
better to hide a shameful past than to review it openly and learn from it, repenting under the witnessing eyes of school-age descendants of the abusers and the abused.
Will God avenge this country’s deadliness?
Four-hundred years is also dissected within a best-seller book. Project 1619 (based on a New York Times Magazine story spearheaded by Nicole Hannah-Jones) uses the period from 1619 (when the first slave ship carrying African slaves from Africa landed in America) to 2019 (when the book was published) to detail the history of 400 years of slavery in America from its inception, including an equally dark period of Jim Crow laws and secret covenants perpetrated by Whites, designed to institutionalize the practice of conferring second class citizenship or less upon Black Americans. The deception created a deliberate and systemic barrier to constitutionally guaranteed pursuits given freely to non-Blacks living in America.
This book has spawned social media debate and commentary by news commentators, historians, politicians, ordinary citizens, and many groups representing the pros and cons of revealing or concealing the true, historical account.
A specified period of 400 years is referenced in the bible as an era when God’s people the Israelites would become afflicted by a foreign nation. In Gen. 15: 13-16 we read that God confided to Abraham that for 400 years the Israelites would be enslaved by these people, and that at the end of those 400 years, God would free His people and judge the nation who enslaved them, adding that His people would leave with great substance.
A prefiguring of this event is documented in the book of Exodus where the family of Israel took refuge in Egypt for a total of 430 years, but were enslaved for approximately 330 years, before God delivered them. The children of Israel had
come to live in Egypt where their brother Joseph lived. Joseph, at 30 years of age, was appointed by the reigning pharaoh as the number two dignitary in all of Egypt. His interpretation of the Pharaoh’s dream had allowed Egypt to hedge against a 7-year famine in the land by brilliantly managing the conservation and storage of surplus foods for that episode, under Joseph’s direction.
The Israelites lived in comfort and peace with the Egyptians during and after the famine, thriving well after Joseph’s passing at the age of 110. The Egyptian pharaohs and dignitaries who knew Joseph also died off eventually, creating an unfortunate memory gap. This thriving population of non-Egyptians were eventually seen as a potential threat who might conspire with an invading army against Egypt. The Egyptians feared Israel would grow far too large as a population. The reigning Pharaoh ordered the killing of all Israelite newborn males. He later forced the Israelites into hard labor. Then he enslaved them.
The Israelites probably didn’t see it coming. The Israelites were quick to become mesmerized by the majestic monu-ments and supersized tributes to the gods of Egypt, and they turned away from their own God to worship the physical images of the many Egyptian deities available. God retaliated by turning away from His people. God removed His protection and they fell into captivity as slaves. But God avenged them.
Many years later, the prophet Ezekiel penned a biting chastisement of the children of Israel, citing a litany of their wrong doings and overt disloyalties to their God while in Egypt, which led to their enslavement (Ezek. 20:5-25). But despite the rage residing within God, He heard their outcries and supplications for deliverance and came to their rescue. After a period of suffering He used Moses to lead them.
Within days of delivering the Israelites from Egypt, God handed out a series of 10 "papalesque" "bulls," mandating that His people were never to worship any other god. (Exod. 20:1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8.) The people agreed in unison to all of God’s commandments. But this first commandment, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” was the most important.
The Israelites nonetheless never ceased their idolatry. The Northern Kingdom of Israel fell around 680 B.C.. They were driven out of the Northern Kingdom by Neo Assyrians. Many were slaughtered in Israel. Some were taken captive back to Assyria where they were either imprisoned or enslaved. Others escaped from the Assyrians into various countries in the north. They are even today referred to as the Lost Ten Tribes.
Will God Gather and Restore the Lost Ten Tribes?
Scriptures say yes. The tribes are lost to the world, but God knows exactly where they are, and will soon call them to return to the promised land (Jeremiah 23:4-8). The Southern Kingdom of Judea fell into captivity and was taken away to
Babylon in 590 B.C., was permitted to return to Judah by Cyrus the Great, but then fell to Persia, then Greco-Roman rule, then Babylonian and Crusader persecution as slaves, prisoners and publicly executed captives because of their willful
disobedience to God’s first commandment.
The 10 tribes of the Northern Israelite kingdom were scattered into various parts of the world at least 700 years before the Southern Israelite kingdom fell. And then, some 700 years later, the Roman empire, tired of the rebellious antics of
Judea, either massacred or drove off every inhabitant from their promised land. Those who survived escaped into Africa where it would appear to have been the safest place for people with the same Negroid skin coloration, hair texture, and
physical features as the inhabitants.
People with Negroid skin packed like canned sardines in the cold, dank holds of slave ships
They migrated toward the west coast of Africa, getting as far from
their ravaged promised land and the Romans as they could. But they hadn’t counted on devious partnerships between the slavers and
Muslim moors, along with the various tribal factions who did not
find any comradery with the interlopers from Israel.
The native Africans instead found a new commerce in capturing
Hebrew peoples and, along with captured Africans from enemy
tribes, they sold them to the Moors and/or European enslavers.
The slaves, all Black, were packed like canned sardines into the
cold, dank holds of slave ships headed for the Americas.
The first known slave ship in America landed in Virginia with 20 men
and women kidnapped from Africa’s West Coast. The year was 1619. From 1619 until 1865, they were the slaves of a horrendously ruthless, villainous people who inflicted all manner of cruelty upon them, both young and old, male and female. Then, when President Abraham
Lincoln ended slavery, the south surrendered, seeing that it was
not only losing badly, but the south was being burned down
in warlike fashion.
The south still yearned for the reinstatement of slavery and conspired to return it in one form or another. White southern bankers and plantation owners negotiated with its victors of the north for states’ rights in exchange for ending its challenge of the electoral vote count for the Presidential election. Ending the vote count challenge gave the north their Democratic candidate Rutherford B. Hayes, and gave southern states the right to make their own laws.
Jim Crow swiftly ensued, including the sharecropping system, the prison chain gang labor pool and other proxies for slavery, which imposed second class citizenship via legal and manipulated subjugation of Blacks. From 1865 to present, the sanctity of Black lives have been afforded complete disregard in America. Other nations have adapted to this same form of abject subjugation of Black lives.
Will God Avenge His People?
DNA science, Islamic history, and African history have ended any dispute that many of those enslaved in the Americas were children of Judah and Benjamin from the fallen Southern Kingdom of the tribes of Israel. They were richly
melanated people like their African cousins. Many now believe that the 400-year affliction of God’s people disclosed by God in Genesis 15:13-16 applies to the Black Israelites who were transported to America as slaves.
Israel’s many captors during the penning of Biblical scripture are well documented. But the latest 2200-year span is not explicitly evident in the Bible, and only the dedicated student who puts the pieces together will come to see what God had revealed concerning today. And like the solving of complicated puzzles, once you see it, you can never un-see it.
The "woke" who claim to be Israelites can also deduce by the scriptures that it was the wrongdoing of their forefathers that resulted in the enslavement of their fathers and subsequently their own personal afflictions. More than anything else, God abhorred the infidelity of His people, and warned of precisely what would happen if they continued to serve false gods.
Deuteronomy 28: 15-68 offers some very telling clues as to what has befallen all 12 tribes, including the lost 10 tribes scattered throughout the world and those afflicted during the colonialization of Africa by Europe. But some verses
depict precisely what happened to Judah and Benjamin over the past 400 years in America. Some of the strongest are:
Deuteronomy 28: 47-50 — 47 "Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of pros- perity. 48 "Therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you. 49 "The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand. 50 "A fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young."
Deuteronomy 28: 68 "And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no
man shall buy [redeem you or pay for your freedom] you."
​
Editor Note: Egypt is often referenced in scripture as a type of the corrupt world system.
​
We do not see much direct mention of the greatest country in the world in scripture. It is very possible that God will avenge His people and the 400-year reign of terror over them will end in utter devastation for this nation.
The call of the “Back to Africa” movement grows louder each day. And like Egypt, America may see the African diaspora return the Israelites first to generic African soil, and later to the promised land, also African soil, but denied that fact
by its current occupants who might possibly “say they are Jews but are not (Revelation 3:9). After Judah and Benjamin and every tribe in America has left, devastation could come with no further warning than virtually every verse in the
Bible pertaining to those who bring Israel harm.
Judah and Benjamin must repent for its sins as well as the sins of their fathers. They may ask why must they be respon- sible for the sins of their fathers? God answers, “The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children, even to the third
and fourth generation.” Leviticus 26:40-44 suggests that the present generation needs to repent for their sins as well as the sins of their forebears.
The trail of generational sin may date back many generations and may still be impacting our lives today. Sin seems to have its own "spiritual DNA." White America must also repent for its sins and for the sins of its forbears, especially towards God’s chosen people. It will be difficult because they have been blinded to their iniquities and prefer to walk in blindness with continued efforts to keep their horrific past annul to written history.
The Son of God, Jesus Christ, hailed from the tribe of Judah in his humanity. What do you believe God is going to do?
