NORTHERN KINGDOM OF THE ISRAELITES. ALSO KNOW AS ISRAEL - 1 KINGS 11&12 JEREMIAH 30:3
Better known today as the so called “native americans”
The migration of the northern kingdom around 718 B.C. to the Americas marks a significant turning point in biblical history. After enduring the Assyrian captivity, these ancient peoples sought refuge and a new life in a land that would ultimately be their home, facilitating the formation of diverse indigenous cultures across North, Central, and South America, as well as the Caribbean islands.
Scripture provides insight into the physical characteristics of these people, particularly in the metaphor of being “a cake not turned” (Hosea 7:8). This description serves as a poignant illustration of their diverse appearances, showcasing a remarkable spectrum of skin tones that ranges from very light to very dark. The phrase encapsulates the beauty of this multiplicity, hinting at the rich mosaic of identities that would grow and flourish in the Americas.
As these individuals settled in varied terrains—from open plains to dense forests—they were able to cultivate distinct societies that reflected their unique experiences, customs, and beliefs. The enduring legacy of their ancestry weaves a rich tapestry that is evident in the cultural practices, languages, and spiritual traditions that can still be found among the indigenous populations today.
The convergence of these various lineage is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as well as the divine orchestration of history, affirming that their journey was not merely a relocation, but a transformative chapter steeped in purpose and promise. This historical narrative encourages a deeper understanding of the indigenous peoples, inviting recognition of their foundational role in the Americas and their intrinsic connection to the sacred texts that chronicle their beginnings.
Southern kingdom Tribes
TRIBES: JUDAH, BENJAMIN, LEVI
SOUTHERN KINGDOM ISRAELITES ALSO KNOWN AS JUDAH - 1 KINGS 11&12, JEREMIAH 30:3
Better known today as the so called “negro”
The Southern Kingdom, primarily composed of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, has a profound historical and spiritual legacy that extends far beyond its initial geographical boundaries. Better known today as “The so called Negros” The scriptures, particularly Jeremiah 14:2, highlight the tribulations faced by these tribes, who were carried away into captivity. This dispersion has left an indelible mark on the identities of countless descendants who now inhabit the Americas and the Caribbean, having traversed the ocean via the cargo slave ships, as tragically foretold in Deuteronomy 28:68.
In contemporary discussions surrounding the African diaspora, it is crucial to recognize the significant populations of these tribes that continue to exist in various regions of Africa. Notable areas such as Morocco, Liberia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Timbuktu, Ethiopia, and Egypt not only serve as historical touchpoints but also represent living communities where the heritage of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi persists. The cultural and spiritual practices in these regions often resonate with the traditions and customs of their ancestors who were once linked to the land of Jerusalem.
The siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD, orchestrated by Vespasian and his son Titus, marked a pivotal turning point in the Jews history, leading to further dispersion and the fracturing of communal ties. This event has reverberated through the ages, impacting the social, cultural, and religious identities of the descendants of these tribes. Even in contemporary society, the enduring legacies of these ancient communities persist, reminding us of their resilience in the face of adversity and their deep-rooted connections to their heritage.
As we reflect on the historical journey of the Southern Kingdom, it is imperative to honor the resilience and strength of these tribes, recognizing their continued contributions to the rich tapestry of cultural and spiritual life in both Africa and the wider diaspora. By understanding this history, we can appreciate the profound connections that transcend generations, illuminating the path of those who carry forward the legacy of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi.
