Happy 2015 Everyone!
Time flies. We've been enjoying our hiatus but have been busy writing up a storm for our first 2015 issue. We've got some awesome stories, cool travel girls and some of the best destinations you can think of. Patience is a virtue so they say. Hang tight for us!
In the meantime, we've been living life and keeping our pulse on world events. Some of the saddest world events are happening with the pervasive worldwide terrorism and unnecessary loss of innocent life.
We came across a horrible story this week, entitled
"Isis - To All Christians...You Will Soon See An Ocean of Blood For All The Nation of the Cross."Check it out hereHonestly, we were stunned at the vitriol, unadulterated inhuman hatred and audacity of this story. This past weekend 21 Egyptian Copts -ie Egyptian Christians were beheaded by this demonic terrorist group that calls itself Isis. Their threat is two-fold - the continued murder of innocent people and two, the COMING SOON...threat to anyone that is a Christian and a true follower of Jesus Christ.
We had to ask ourselves, how do we as global citizens and Africans specifically respond to this bold and evil threat - for the nation of the cross? We all have a responsibility to not sit idly by while our neighbors are suffering under tyranny. We need to speak boldly about what is right and wrong, because clearly the leadership and the people that run these organizations don't know the difference between right and wrong. Good thing...we do!
So here goes.
1. TO THE NATION OF THE CROSS
Lalibela, Ethiopia
What the bloody hell does this statement mean? Is this a threat to all Christians and who is the nation of the cross? We as black Africans need to critically assess the messages being promoted in global media. It takes large amounts of funding and resources - human and otherwise to use social media, get media coverage, producers, create sound bytes etc...To the point that this so-called "Isis" terrorist organization is able to show executions on global media platforms in an attempt to produce a trauma-based mind control that creates a spirit of fear. Try starting your own media company and see if any of these so-called global media companies will pay 2 seconds of attention to you. It's called they have big money. Let's get to the real story and who this threat is really aimed toward.
Islamo-fascist groups such as "ISIS, ISIL, BOKO HARAM etc....have one aim. That is for the HUMILIATION, DEGRADATION AND SUB-HUMAN BONDAGE AND ENSLAVEMENT OF ALL BLACK AFRICAN peoples and cultures.
Of course, for now, they are content with destroying their own tribes and peoples who don't agree with them, but as they said "COMING SOON" to a neighborhood near you.
How exciting for all of us that are not amoral, indecent and evil! One thing we can be certain of no matter what they call themselves, Black Africa's enemies - the enemies from within and the enemies from without have never changed.
This threatening message is aimed toward the TRUE NATION OF THE CROSS - ETHIOPIA and by extension BLACK CHRISTIAN HEBREW AFRICA. Most people don't realize due to the prevalent philosophy of racism and white supremacy in the world that Ethiopia was the first Christian nation/empire.
Instead of just accepting what you're told. Read it for yourself. It's in the New Testament Book of Acts of the Apostles. Acts of the Apostles is a detailed account of the apostles of the man known as Jesus Christ. One of His apostles, Philip, studied and explained an almost 400-year-old prophecy to his fellow Israelite, the governor of Gaza, who was an Ethiopian from the tribe of Judah. Yeah...you heard us, Gaza, which is now considered to be part of Palestine/Israel was at one point under the control and jurisdiction of the Judean Ethiopian empire.
Ethiopia's Judaic Hebrew heritage goes back to the Patriarchs with Father Abraham, who is considered to be the father of the world's main 3 religions. Father Abraham lived in ETHIOPIA with many of his 9 sons, including his son Isaac and grandson Jacob - the father of Judah. Jew is a shortened term...for someone from the tribe of Judah. It was actually a derogatory term used when the leaders of Judah were exiled in modern-day Iran/Iraq. The Patriarch Moses who we know from the Ten Commandments grew up in Egypt and was married to an Ethiopian woman and ruled ancient Ethiopia for at least 40 years.
So it's from this time over 3000 years ago and the from the early birth of Christianity, from the Judeo-Hebraic faith that Ethiopia and then Egypt and THEN Europe became Christian. All of the Judean/Hebrew apostles of Jesus Christ of Nazareth including Apostles Mark and James started and planted churches in Ethiopia and Egypt.
The TRUE CROSS has a meaning that is rooted deep in our holy, divine African heritage. The cross symbolizes eternal life and freedom.
ETERNAL LIFE is a gift from the Creator of the Universe to His children, the sons and daughters of the soil no matter their ethnicity or race. And it's our true and abundant life that ISIS, ISIL, BOKO HARAM and those of similar mind seek to destroy.
The cross also symbolizes FREEDOM because according to OUR BLACK AFRICAN PROPHETS AND APOSTLES, it is KING YESHUA, IESUS CRISTOS, known to many as Jesus Christ of Nazareth who purchased our freedom. He was hung on a cross, LYNCHED. His sacrifice was a spiritual offering to relieve us of our bondage, humiliation and degradation due to our weaknesses and failings as human beings. He was God in the flesh. Yeah we said it! For those of you who don't understand - you need to go back to the Hebraic AFRICAN roots of the faith so you can understand and not be ignorant and follow after so-called European Christianity which honestly is a joke.
King Yeshua aka Jesus Christ of Nazareth stated his mission as the following:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and the release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion, to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
As we can clearly see, the threat to the nation of the cross is a threat to Ethiopia and black Christian Africa. It's also an unforgivable insult to our kings, our ancestors and those who fought and sacrificed for our freedom.
2. THE TRUE MEANING OF ISIS
If it wasn't enough, we have to ask ourselves why is the acronym ISIS being used to stand for the Islamic State? These barbaric terrorists are well-funded, can hire marketing firms and consultants to come up with names that have nothing to do with our BLACK AFRICAN HERITAGE.
Most of these terrorists, other than the sell-out black Ishmaelite Boko Haram tribes in West Africa...are Eurasian. They are spewing the vitriol and hatred which has been the foundation for much of Eurasian culture over the last 2000 years. This is why the ancient Egyptians called these tribes that make up ISIS, ISIL
"hordes and uncivilized." And these same racists have the audacity to call us monkeys and khaffirs.
Don't they have their own mothers and their own words from their "own civilization" they can use to identify themselves? Why use a word that goes back to black African roots and has to do with black women. ISIS at its true meaning stands for the TRUE WOMAN.
So get this...when the politicians are saying "We are going to wipe ISIS off the planet." What are they really saying? We are going to wipe off the TRUE WOMAN from the planet? We are going to wipe off black women from the planet? What kind of witchcraft and sorcery is this?
The TRUE WOMAN - the black woman - as represented and symbolized by ISIS/AUSET represents the mother of Africa, the mother of all living. Using African words, concepts, ideas insulting our African ancestors, our cultures, our righteous spiritual fathers, our peoples, our mothers, our fathers. It goes without saying that our ancestors warned us of these people - these ISIS, ISIL, BOKO HARAM terrorists.
Our ancestors described their armies being like locusts, because they devour and destroy everything in sight.
CHRISTIAN AFRICA! Beware. This is just another dragon of colonialism albeit with a different face. It's time we we said "enough is enough! We need to get out from under our curse and stand up for our dignity, freedom and land!
3. Yekkatit 12 - February 19, 1937.
If beheading people and recording it on video for a global audience wasn't enough...we have to say another WOW to the fact that this very week when 21 Egyptian Christians were beheaded marks the
78th ANNIVERSARY of the YEKATIT 12 MASSACRE IN ETHIOPIA. February 19 1937 - 30,000 ETHIOPIANS were brutally massacred by ITALIAN-FASCIST forces spearheaded by the evil Benito Mussolinni.
Here's what happened.How many are the young men, the women, the priests and the monks whom the Italians pitilessly massacred during these years? You know that in Addis Ababa alone many thousands perished during the three days following St. Michael's Day on Yekatit 12, 1929 (19th February, 1937). The blood and bones of those who were killed with spades and pickaxes, of those who were split with axes and hammered to death, pierced with bayonets, clubbed and stoned, of those who were burned alive with their little children in their homes, of those who perished of hunger and thirst in prison have been crying for justice. Everybody knows that this act of barbarism and cruelty was no perpetrated in Addis Ababa alone, but more especially in the provinces of Ethiopian. There is hardly anyone who has not been caught and beaten, kicked, humiliated and imprisoned.
Sounds familiar doesn't it? Sounds like ISIS, ISIL, BOKO HARAM, Italian-fascists, NAZIS hmmm....they may call themselves different names but THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!
Yekatit 12 happened in 1937. Prior to that - Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1896 and was defeated at the Battle of Adua. Emperor Menelik II led Ethiopia to victory!!
One thing we know for sure, THE TRUE NATION OF THE CROSS is a nation of winners. A people blessed who in spite of IMPOSSIBLE ODDS always WIN. They are the children of faith. A faith that can move mountains!!!
We need to take courage and remember our kings who faced enormous obstacles. Men like King David whose courage and faith and just cause made him the most powerful man on the planet. A man no one expected much out of. He was a CHAMPION OF THE POOR, THE IGNORANT AND THE OPPRESSED EVERYWHERE!
How do we respond to the continued mockery and insults of our God and Father in Heaven, our Messiah King Yeshua (Jesus Christ of Nazareth), our kings, our mothers and fathers? True Christians everywhere need to salute our Fallen Egyptian brethren and applaud their courage to stand face to face with unadulterated evil AND THEN ACT ON FAITH!
Let's be practical. What do we need to do? Go back to our Holy Scriptures, the TRUTH and our king.
1. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
2. Meditate on the good old paths...OUR HOLY COVENANT with our Father in heaven that will last forever.
"
The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction, but flee from you in seven."3. Know this.
No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A hose is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. Psalm 33.THIS IS REALITY. Not some stupid tv show or video designed to make you believe in a reality that doesn't exist.
4. Lift up the flag of Holy Imperial Ethiopia.
Ethiopia and by extension black Christian Africa is being threatened. It's Emperor Haile Selassie I who put it best in 1936, when the Italian-fascist armies invaded our Empire and implemented a reign of terror just like ISIS, ISIL and BOKO HARAM. He stated that the GOAL OF Mussolini was to EXTERMINATE THE ETHIOPIAN RACE.
Let's be clear - the underlying motives of these actions and terrorists are the vile doctrines and philosophies of racism that direct all the actions of our worlds' global leadership. It's all about dividing Africa, removing the people from the land and destroying human liberty and freedom in the name of the dark spiritual forces that lead these non-human people on in their insanity and hatred.
"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned....
Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will;
Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven;UNTIL THAT DAY, THE AFRICAN CONTINENT WILL NOT KNOW PEACE.
WE AFRICANS WILL FIGHT, IF NECESSARY, AND WE NOW THAT WE SHALL WIN, AS WE ARE CONFIDENT IN THE VICTORY OF GOOD OVER EVIL.
COMING SOON! THE THRONE OF DAVID
THE CONQUERING LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH HATH AND WILL PREVAIL.
Peace out!
