My Conscious Friends, Don’t Throw the Bible Away Just Yet

The answer for me is succinct. No matter how much something has been perverted and corrupted, the purest form of it remains among the contaminants that have corrupted it. With such overwhelming evidence of corruption, how does one hold on to their belief in God. By simple reason, the perversion of truth is indicative, itself, of the existence of such truth. Make no mistake about it, the Bible is our bridge to our ancient ancestry, and it is still the most powerful gateway to God.

Dr. John Henrick Clarke referred to the Bible as the carbon copy of the original, referring to Ancient transcripts from Kemet (Ancient Egypt). We know now that the Pentateuch (also referred to as the Torah) — the five books of Moses — were actually taken from the Egyptian Tarot in fact the Hebrew term “Torah” is an anagram of “Tarot.” We also know that the vast majority of the book of Psalms was also borrowed from Egypt. When you consider the fact that the Hebrews spent a significant amount of time in Egypt, as residents and then as captives, it should not be surprising that they would adopt facets of the religion of that nation.

In fact, the Egyptians would have introduced their religion as a part of the process to subjugate the Hebrews — sound familiar. You can actually see this happening again in the first three Chapters of the book of Daniel. In order for a nation, an empire or regime to maintain power over a large group of people, there must be a cultural aspect introduced that creates a desire to assimilate. This is normally done through religion or alternatively through cultural arrogance (the belief that being a part of the elite system makes the person better than others). Again, sound familiar.

Quick side note: The actual time that the Hebrews were in captivity in Egypt was not 400 years as many believe. It takes a significant amount of anatomization of scripture to figure this out, but I will elucidate it for you in a paragraph or so.

The confusion centers on the inability to understand the expressive nature of the Hebrew language. Both, Greek and Hebrew, are immensely expressive, and far superior in their communicative capacity, than English. Attempting to use English grammatical concepts to interpret Hebrew is challenging at best, even for the linguistic experts who endeavor to translate it for you to read. The first thing is the fact that there seems to be a contradiction in numbers. Genesis 15:13 speaks of a 400 year sojourn, where the Apostle Paul (Gal. 3:14-17, c.f. Ex. 12:40) speaks of 430 years. The simple explanation for this is determined by which point a person begins counting. The 400-year number comes from counting from the time Isaac was weaned at age five until the Exodus. The 430-year number comes from including those five years before Isaac weaned and the additional 25 years from the point of Abraham originally receiving the promises and Isaac being born.

That settles the first part of the confusion; however, it is important to understand that the entire 430-year sojourn was not in captivity. Following is a breakdown of the 430 years.

  1. From the 75th year of Abraham to the birth of Isaac is 25 years
  2. From Isaac’s birth to that of Jacob is 60 years
  3. From Jacobs birth to his death is 147 years
  4. From Jacob’s death to that of Joseph is 54 years
  5. From Joseph’s death to the exodus is 144 years

So you are really looking at 200 years of that time being spent entrenched in the mystery systems of Egypt.

It is during this time that the Hebrews became familiar with the mystery system, and it was their representation of that mystery system in the Torah and numerous other books in the Old Testament that provided the strongest identity that the European and Falasha Jews have today. It is also important to understand that both groups — the Egyptians and the Hebrews — were of African descent. This is important because it explains the initial perversion of the Hebrew Scriptures. Because the writers of those ancient texts were actually black, we can understand that the perversion was not a part of the eventual white washing that would take place. The initial perversion was associated with the effort to create their own identity and free themselves from the psychological and emotional grip of the Egyptians. This was important for the perpetuation of the culture and race.

The Councils of Corruption

Beginning with the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, there were councils assembled by the order of Emperors. The Roman Emperor, Constantine ordered more than 200 bishops to come together for the purpose of creating a more unified presentation of Christianity that would make it easy for leaders to control the masses. Remember, religion is one of the most powerful forces in the process of subjugation. Think about the history of wars that were fought under religious flags. Look at what is taking place in Palestine at this very moment. It is actually what took place during the white washing of the Bible at Nicaea that brings great lucidity to Palestine. There was also the second Council of Nicaea and then there was the Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. This council was ordered by Roman Emperor Theodosius II.

In between the Council of Nicaea and the Council of Ephesus was the Council of Constantinople, which took place in 381 A.D. However, the most significant damage was done in Nicaea, as some scriptural text was omitted, while others were allowed. Four-hundred years of history was completely eradicated between the book of Malachi and Matthew (read the Apocrypha). The doctrine of the Trinity was established — which is actually an adaptation of the original trinity of Ausar, Aset & Heru, which can be transliterated in the Greek as Osiris, Isis and Horus. It is worth noting that not only is Ausar, Aset and Heru the first representation of the holy trinity, but it is also the first account of the virgin birth of a messiah. In fact, the story of Jesus, the Christ, is actually the 16th historical account of a virgin birth with the child going into obscurity at age 12, returning at age 30 and being executed at age 33. This is much more than a simple coincidence.

One way that the trinity was perverted is that the third person of the trinity was objectified, removing Aset (the woman) from the equation. If you examine the characteristics of the Holy Spirit, you will find that they are eerily similar to the characteristics of a woman. It is the Holy Spirit that quickens (gives life). It is the Holy Spirit that provides and sustains strength. Recently, the church has attempted to remove the objectification of the Holy Spirit by no longer referring to it as “it” or the Holy Ghost. Yet, the true circle of life is still not represented. So, the whitewashing, not only sought to eliminate the African presence in the Bible, but it also sought to marginalize the role of the woman.

I could write volumes on this matter, but I simply wanted to connect some dots to show Christian believers, and non-believers alike that the Bible is still extremely valuable to understanding who God is as well as understanding who we are. To toss it away would be a grave mistake.

Another benefit of holding on to the Bible is that there is no other book that exposes the machinations of our white oppressors as lucidly as this book. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace, Ph.D.
