“IF any man have an ear, let him hear. “He that leadeth intocaptivityshall go into captivity: he thatkilleth with the sword must bekilled with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” (The saints=the set apart ones, which are of the righteous congregation of Israel)
Revelation‬ â€13:9-10‬ â€KJV
As we Israelites live with affliction worldwide, on all levels, we endure — and we must continue to endure with patience and faith that our redemption is coming. The Promises of Deuteronomy 30 will be our reality, one day; and with each passing day, we are one day closer. Let us remember that those verses above, are an alarm. Oh yes, it is a call to wake up & stay patient! Let us never forget what time it is, and that judgment has already begun and much more severe judgment is coming.
To everyone: Never forget what captivity is… I mean, it’s not easy to forget what it is, because the examples are prevalent still today, but because of appearances, conjecture, and rhetoric, the cause, case, and curse of captivity can be washed over. All it takes is a proper consideration. Yes, we certainly can look at the millions of captives, completely being held captive against their will, locked up in the Prison-industry complex. We’ve talked about it before, but just in case you are unaware, negroes/Israelites were taken away as captives into the nations of the world. And today, they remain in their lands of slavery, in their lands of captivity, and they are disproportionately held further captive in prison. Consider the words of some of the prophets like these:
“Because He is righteous, the Lord (YAH) has exalted His glorious law. But His own people have been robbed and plundered, enslaved, imprisoned, and trapped. They are fair game for anyone and have no one to protect them, no one to take them back home. Who will hear these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you in the future? Who allowed Israel to be robbed and hurt? It was YAH, against whom we sinned, for the people would not walk in His path, nor would they obey His law.”
Isaiah‬ â€42:21-24‬ â€NLT‬‬
“Why has Israel become a slave? Why has he been carried away as plunder?”
Jeremiah‬ â€2:14‬ â€NLT‬‬
But now, let us also shift gears & consider the peculiar case of those who are in contractually beneficial forms of captivity. What am I getting to here? Not the Prison-industry complex, but the Sports-industry complex.
Some of you might have seen Colin Kaepernick’s Netflix documentary, and felt one way or another about it (that’s a discussion for another day), but this scene highlighted in this clip below, brings the comparison to life, and you can see the attempts to belittle the comparative facts… those of us with understanding must no longer fall for the okie-doke.
And take a look at this timely example below. As the story develops, we might hear things like: it was all just a joke, or the negro students were in on it, etc… none of that negates the fact that this is part of the culture of this land. The captivity & slavery of the Israelites is repeatedly being softened & minimized, the wickedness is belittled and spoken of as not being as bad or as serious as it was… alright, keep it up, judgment is coming. We will see how lightweight & funny it all is:
“How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise. I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored MY advice and rejected the correction I offered. So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you— when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone, and anguish and distress overwhelm you.”
Proverbs‬ â€1:22-27‬ â€NLT‬‬
Israelites: everything is going just as The Most High YAH said it would go, and the world can read it in The Scripture for themselves. The curses of Deuteronomy 28 are still upon us as a scattered nation of Israel, we so-called negroes fit every curse in Deuteronomy 28, and we will again fit every blessing of that same chapter too, not according to me, but according to the promises of YAH found in chapter 30. So family, always let us remember, that our conditions have always been the result of our choice. Our choice as a nation of Israelites… And what choice is that again? The choice to either live under the curses of The Most High YAH IF we disobey Him, or to live under the blessings of The Most High YAH IF we obey Him—As A NATION! We are in this thang together! So let US repent and get back to obeying YAH, even now as we patiently endure our afflictions, and while we continue to wait for the reverse of the curse!
