Will Black America Also Go Away
JOH 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
JOH 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
JOH 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Sometimes in this life, we are forced to make unpleasant decisions.
Shall we by faith venture in the vast ocean of unpleasant circumstances, buffeted by the wave of trials and misunderstanding, or should we like the bear in the winter time, find some safe heaven and there hibernate until the troublesome times are past.
That day had come to the crowd which for a time had been following Jesus. That day when they must make the difficult choice, follow Jesus through some difficult times, or return to their previous lifestyle. The path was before them, trial or hybernation, the Jews chose hybernation, Hence Jesus was forced to ask the question of His disciples, "Will Ye also go away"
_ 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and
how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you
unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed,
and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the
earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests,
and an holy nation. These are the words which thou
shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the
people, and laid before their faces all these
words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said,
All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And
Moses returned the words of the people unto the
LORD.
For two thousand years he had been the God of Hebrew. Face to face he had communicated with their leader, Abraham, Jacob, Moses and Joshua.
He called the Hebrews out of slavery, fed them with manna from heaven, quench their thirst with water from a rock. He had sent armies of angels to protect the Prophet Elisha, sent ravens with bread to feed the prophet Elijah.
He herd the prayers of Sampson and gave him back his stregth which caused Him to lean upon the pillars of the temple of Dagaon and brought Judgemnt down upon the heads of those who mocked Him and His God.
He protected the Hebrews in flight. Promised them His son to Sit on their eternal throne. And when the time came for the coming of His son
He sent angels to declare it on the mountainside, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and the goverment shall be upon His shoulders, and His name shall be called, wonderful, counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting father, the Prince of peach.
He condescended, God became man, and was borned in a manger.
They found no room for Him in the palaces or Inn of their days, Yet African men, magi if you will travelled for years to present to Him their gift of gold myrth and frankisence.
He fed their poor, healed their sick, care for their widows, Raised their dead. cleansed their lepers He was their God, He bore them on eagles wings and promised that if they obeyed His voice, the would be a peculiar treasure unto Him.
But the moment they realized he was not to sit on a political throune, the moment they realized there would be no crown without any cross. The bible states they went back and followed Him no more. I wonder, will the black men in America do the same? Will the African Americans also go away?.
The Orientals Went Away? They became Buddist and Hindus
Hinduism is more a way of living than a religion. But is is numbered
among the major religions of the world. It's teaching consisted of the reaching of four great ideal. The student ideal ages 5 to until marriage, HOusehold ideal marriage and famile, Third forest dwelling ideal which takes place after ones children are grown and finally, reunification, when one gives up attachment to all worldly things and seeks spiritual liberation.
Gen 2:15-
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of
every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day
that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gen 3:4-7
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall
not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they
knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig
leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
In Hinduism, the devil, mocks God. Karma and Rebirth A widespread feature of Hinduism is the belief in TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS, or samsara, the passage of a soul from body to body as determined by the force of one's actions, or KARMA.
Liberation is release from this cycle of rebirth. This is achieved by doing Yoga. Yoga is the core of Indian philosophy, liberation.
God had told man in the garden of Eden, the day you disobey, the day you forget you are just a steward of all that is in this garden, The day you forget that I am you maker, your creator, your sustainore, The day your forget that everything in this garden except that three belongs to you, then you shall die. The devil on the other hand says, you wont die, you will just become wiser. This lie is perpetuated in the teaching of Induism and Buddism.
Five hundread years before the birth of Jesus. In the land of India, Buddhism, sprang out of Hinduism. Gods intension was that the Jews evangelize the world, but they were dissobedient to Gods law, and because of this, God had sent them into slavery, and unerstand this church, every action has a equal and opposite reaction, there is a consequence for everything we do.
Siddhartha Gautama, the BUDDHA, who lived in northern India
from c.560 to c.480 BC. The book of Esther details the experience of Gods people between 474-473 BC seven years before the death of Buddah.
The time of the Buddha was one of social and religious change, the white races of Europe was beginning to desend upon Indian Civilization, and in the past whenever the came, the brought with them a new twist to religion and politics. The was was between the Greek states. Persian had overthroown the black empire of Babylon. The jews were now hold captive in persia, and in another 27 years the decree would be given of the walls of Jerusalem to be rebuilt.
Esther 1:1
_ 1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus,
(this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even
unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and
twenty provinces:)
Ahasureus, A son and Successor Darius friend of Daniel. Also called Xerxes. Married Esther, Rules from India to Ethiopia.
God had brought the Jews into the nation of Persia, so they would have access to all the world from India to Ethiopia. But the Jews were neglecting their responsibility for evangelis, The became very comfortable with the things of this world, felt everybody ahd their own religion, just wanted to keep their religion to themselves. God was about to do something however, to wake them up
Esther 3:
1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote
Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and
advanced him, and set his seat above all the
princes that were with him.
2 And all the king's servants, that were in the
king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the
king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai
bowed not, nor did him reverence.
3 Then the king's servants, which were in the
king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest
thou the king's commandment?
4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto
him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they
told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters
would stand: for he had told them that he was a
Jew.
_ 6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai
alone; for they had shewed him the people of
Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all
the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of
Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan,
in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast
Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to
day, and from month to month, to the twelfth
month, that is, the month Adar.
8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a
certain people scattered abroad and dispersed
among the people in all the provinces of thy
kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all
people; neither keep they the king's laws:
therefore it is not for the king's profit to
suffer them.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that
they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand
_talents of silver to the hands of those that have
the charge of the business, to bring it into the
king's treasuries.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and
gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Esther : 7
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had
prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath
pacified.
Chapter 8
1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the
house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the
queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for
Esther had told what he was unto her.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had
taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And
Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Today is is estimated there ar e 14 million Jews and 300 million Buddist. The teaching of Buddah are, suffering is evitable, suffering has a cause and suffering can be stopped.
When he died, the followere honored his body relics and started a cult worshiped and strated holy places or shrined to be visited by His followers. Buddhism later prepared the way for communism, because nearly all Buddist countries eventually became communist countries. Vietnam, Laos, and Kampuchea (Cambodia) have joined China, Mongolia, Tibet, and North Korea as once Buddhistic but now Communist nations.
Buddism has now spread to the west, and the buddist the survival of their relivion, lies in the Uninted States. Dissillusioned Americans are finding peace in these Satan religions Yes, the Jews neglected to spread the word, even though God had opened up every opportunity, thus the oriental started their own religion which has done nothing but brought pain and suffering to their people. Today, poverty, Islam and Communism had effectively replaced Buddism, Yes the Orientals went away form Jesus, will the African American also go away?
Fianlly The Arabs went away.
The Black Sons of Ismael. the son of Abraham setteled in the land of Arabia. along with the descendant of Ham called Sheba.
Gen 10
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and
Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and
Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of
Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
Ham means dark or black.
Cush menan Ethipia or Africa.
Seba, means Sabeans, or people of Arabia.
So the children of Ismael, who had dark skins and straight hair settled with the sons of Seba, who had black skin and kinky hair like their father cush or Ethipioa.
Arabia is a large peninsula separated from Africa by the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden on the west and from Asia by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman on the east. The Indian Ocean forms the southern boundary, and the deserts of Jordanand Syria isolate the area from the north. For these reasons, the Arabs callthe area Jazirat al-Arab ("the island of the Arabs"). More than 80% of the peninsula is occupied
by SAUDI ARABIA.
More than one-fifth of the peninsula is covered by the Rub
al-Khali ("Empty Quarter"), the largest continuous sand body
in the world. Sand ridges hundreds of miles long and dunes
high enough to be called sand mountains are common features
of its landscape. The area is virtually uninhabited. Oil fields concentrated around the Persian Gulf account for more
than 20% of world petroleum production. The Arabian
peninsula was occupied by the wealthy Sabaean civilization
(see SHEBA), then by the Babylonians and Egyptians. The sabaens eventually packed up and removed themselves to Ethiopia, the homeland of their fathers, the were like the prodigal son. It was eventually united (7th century) under MUHAMMAD's caliphs and became the "cradle of Islam." The western Saudi Arabian province of Hejaz contains MECCA and MEDINA, the holiest cities of Islam.
Islam, the religion of those who follow the Prophet Mohammed. The prophet, who lived in Arabia in the early 7th century, initiated a religious movement that was carried by the ARABS throughout the Middle East. Today, Islam has adherents not only in the Middle East, where it is the dominant religion in all countries (Arab and non-Arab)
except Israel, but also in other parts of Asia, Africa and, to a certain extent, in Europe and in the United States.
Islam encompasses personal faith and piety, the creed and worship of the community of believers, a way of life, a code of ethics, a culture, a system of laws, an understanding of the function of the state--in short, guidelines and rules for life in all its aspects and dimensions.
Islam had four infallible sourche, the Koram, Customs of the Prophet or Sunna application of decision of the pasto or giyas or ijma, the consensus of the communitye, because the prophets the gropu as a whole could not agree on any error.
The Prophet Muhammad was born in 570 in MECCA, a trading
center in western Arabia. About 610 he received the first of a series of revelations that convinced him that he had been chosen as God's messenger. He began to preach the message entrusted to him--that there is but one God, to whom all humankind must commit themselves.
The world to which Mohammed was borned, was one Ruled by the Holy Roman Empire. The catholic church was become dictatoral, and people were being excummounicated for their difference in opinion on the nature of Christ. The was a serious rift between Byzantine and rome over ecclesiatical authoirty and doctrinal importance. this weakened the church and thus the Arabs were able to spread their theology with lightening fast speed. Agains a missed opportunity. The world was hungray for what the Christians had, but because Catholicism allowed itself to be side tracked, it became an angent of the devil, persicuted God true followers, burnt them at the stake, destroyed the bible, began numberous crusades agains the muslims and fellow christians, and the devil used this opportunity to keep them on earth longer by initiating a another relion, that would take part of the Christian and Jewish bible, and sart a half true religion, that would spread like wildfiare around the world.
The polytheistic Meccans resented Muhammad's attacks on their
gods and finally he emigrated with a few followers to MEDINA.
This migration, which is called the Hegira (Hijrah), took place in 622; Muslims adopted the beginning of that year as the first year of their lunar calendar (Anno Hegirae, or AH). At Medina Muhammad won acceptance as a religious and military leader. The Christians and Jews who could not get alng asked Mohammed to be the Mediator between them, the people disillusioned with both sides, willing accepted Mohammeds new teachings and become long, Mohammed had the muscle in His new developed army to enforce his way, and his motto became
fight, untill all men acknowledge, the is no God but Allah.
Within a few years he had established control of the surrounding region, and in 630 he finally conquered Mecca. There, the KAABA, a shrine that had for some time housed the idols of the pagan Meccans, was rededicated to the worship of Allah, and it became the object of pilgrimage for all Muslims. By the time of his death in 632, Muhammad had won the allegiance of most of the Arab tribespeople to Islam.
He had laid the foundation for a community (umma) ruled by the laws of God. The Koran records that Muhammad was the Seal of the Prophets, the last of a line of God's messengers that began with Adam and included Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus. He left for the future guidance of the community the words of God revealed to him and recorded in the Koran, and the sunna, the collective name for his opinions and decisions as recorded in the tradition literature (hadith).
Black Muslims is a widely used name for the adherents of an
American black nationalist religious movement whose self-designation changed in 1976 from "The Lost-Found Nation of Islam" to "The World Community of Islam in the West." The movement traces its beginnings to the enigmatic figure of Wallace D. Fard (Wali Farad), known as "Prophet Fard," "The Great Mahdi" or "The Savior," who attracted 8,000 followers
in the short period between his appearance in Detroit in 1930
and his disappearance in June 1934.
The movement, with its present headquarters in Chicago, gained ground significantly under Fard's successor, Elijah MUHAMMAD, who exercised strong leadership until his death in 1975. He saw himself as the "prophet and apostle of Allah," claiming that God had appeared in the figure of Fard. Preaching an anti-integrationist message, Elijah Muhammad frequently voiced warnings about "the human beast . . . the
people or race known as the white." He called "every Black Man in America to be reunited with his own" and urged a sense of black self-reliance and separation from the white society, even economically. One of the best-known Black Muslim ministers during this period was MALCOLM X, converted while he was in prison in 1947, who broke with the movement in March 1964 and was assassinated 11 months later. A radically different phase began under Elijah Muhammad's son and
successor, Warith Deen (or Wallace D.) Muhammad. He called for a new sense of patriotism, urging blacks to "identify with the land and flag." Advocating the "religious unification of the world's Muslims," W. D. Muhammad abandoned unorthodox notions and expressions that had
presented obstacles for many other Muslims' recognition of
this movement as being authentically Islamic. In May 1985 he
announced the dissolution of the American Muslim Mission to
unify its members with the worldwide Muslim community. A
splinter group led by Louis Farrakhan, however, retains the
earlier separatist principles and the name "Nations of Islam."
The muslims has monopolized the conversion of Black men.
Their strategy is to win black men in America, because therein lies the furure of our Race. Black Muslims are not accepted by other mulsims gropu as muslim. Their white hatredge poses a serious problem for Moslems world wide who see their intention to conquor the world for allah in direct conflict with that of the Nation of Islam.
The Muslims went away, Will Black America also go away? Will
we as Christians sit idly by and watch as our Sons and Husbands are grabed by the claws of Islam. wherever Islam had taken stornghold, has ment the demise of that nations. Women are held as inferior, education is lacking, living standard is poor, and civil war and communism had been lurking on the doorpost. Majority of the Sovies Union was Muslim, and now their is wonder as to the where they will
lend their alligiance now that they are free.
Today, our African men walk the street hungry for someone to
tell them what the future holds. They are disillusioned with society, hungry to find a place of belonging. Hungering to be in charge of their lives and future, seeking to find anything to remind them, that they are sombody, and can accomplish anything should they put their minds to it.
Jesus say clearly that the valley which He had entered upon
had at the end of it, and in front of Him and upraised Cross.
Where nails would pierce his outstretched Hands, and blood
would flow from His pierced side, and an anguish lament will
be thrown at God, and men would mock Him and mock them, and
the whole world would be against them and Him, But He had to
go, he had to die, not for Himself, but for them. For all
men were suffering under the curse of sin, and their only
opportunity for freedom was this cross that was to be theirs,
but he had decided to take it for them.
It would not always be bread on the country side, or excited
people trying to make Him King. There was a cross coming
There was shame coming There was death coming
If they had stayed on to listen, He would have told them more
and more; and it may be that their deeper soul would have
been touched and they would have stayed with Him to the end.

Leave not Christianity alone, Because there was a time when our Forefather of Ethipia were the defenders of Christianity. There was a time. even the papacy in all his regal self, would not dare tell the church of Ethipia what to do.
the desciples responded. No Lord, for thous hast eternal life.
He had already tested them; They had followed Him because He
had the words of eternal life for which their souls were thirsty..
Their loyalty din not now carry them through, but the time came when it did, and these very men who ran away panic stricken on the night when their master was delivered to death, cheerfully endured afterwards the extremity of evil for His dear sake. They were scorned and hated by the world, They were crucified and burnt by the world They were
penniless and shoeless at times But they remained steadfast For they had ceased to be afraid, The had learnt of His power to protect and Keep for they were there on the lake when He had stood up in all His glory in the midst of a storm that threatened to take their life and commanded peace be still There were there on the mountainside, when the demons abused a little boy and caused Him to foam at the mouth and through Himself on the ground and they watched as the demons fled at
the command of His words They were there and they heard the

is sick, please come save Her life, they were there and they
watched as death fled before His face and little miss Jairus

they ceased to be afraid Now they song a new song,
We too as african Americans must cease to be Afriad. For even the hopeless condition of slavery, we song a new song. We have been overcomers. For despite miseducation, despite under representation, police brutality and prejucice, still we can sing, Some bring morning, when this light is over, I'll fly away To a land on Gods Celestion shore I'll fly away,
No Jesus, we will not leave,you despite the difficulties we
must face
No Jesus we will no leave you even though it take us to our
graves
No Jesus we will not leave for we know we are not alone No
Jesus we will not leave you, for we know we are you own No
Jesus, we will not leave for thou hast eternal life,
