Highlights
The speaker introduces the topic by reading from Sirach 39:1-3, emphasizing the importance of giving one's mind to the law of the Most High and meditating on it to understand wisdom and prophecy. This leads to seeking the secrets of grave sentences and understanding dark parables, explaining why common people, previously involved in various worldly activities, are now understanding biblical truths.
Drawing from Psalms 107:10-12, the speaker describes the Israelites as those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron. This refers to their historical enslavement and suffering, particularly in the ghettos of America, due to their rebellion against God's words. Despite their harsh conditions, the only help for their people, including celebrities, is Yahawashi (Jesus).
Referencing Deuteronomy 32:20-21, the speaker explains that God hid his face from Israel because they were a forward generation without faith. The Lord provoked jealousy among the Judeans by extending salvation to the scattered, uncircumcised Israelites who were in idolatry, not a white or Chinese man, a point clarified with Ezekiel 11:15 about the inhabitants of Jerusalem dismissing their scattered brethren.
Deuteronomy 32:22-26 describes a fire kindled in God's anger, leading to consuming destruction and scattering. This is linked to historical events like 70 AD and the use of dogs by Romans and Spaniards against Israelites. The speaker explains that God scattered them into 'corners' through the transatlantic slave trade, starting in 1492 with indigenous peoples and later with Jews from Europe, scattering them across the Earth, particularly to Africa and the Americas.
Zechariah 1:15 is cited to explain that while God used the heathen as His 'sword' to punish Israel, the heathen 'helped forward the affliction' by committing excessive cruelties not ordained by God, such as extreme violence against pregnant women and infants.
Jeremiah 17:4 prophesied that Israel would discontinue from their inheritance. Sirach 17:11 clarifies that this inheritance is the 'law of life,' meaning discontinuing from God's laws leads to captivity and loss of wealth. Psalms 83:1-3 is used to show that enemies crafted counsel against Israel, desiring to cut them off from being a nation and erase their name, which explains why they promote other identities while suppressing 'Israelite'.
Luke 21:20-24 and Micah 4:10 describe the scattering from Jerusalem in 70 AD. The Israelites went 'out of the city,' into the 'field' or 'wilderness' (Africa), and eventually to 'Babylon' (America) where they are to be delivered. Zephaniah 3:10 further details their journey 'beyond the rivers of Ethiopia' to the west coast of Africa, showing a clear path of scattering.
Deuteronomy 33:17 speaks of Ephraim and Manasseh pushing people to the 'ends of the Earth.' Hosea 9:17 states that God would cast them away, making them 'wanderers among the nations,' referring to the Northern Kingdom. 2 Esdras 13:39-47 details the 10 tribes being carried away captive by Shalmaneser V, taking counsel to go to a 'further country where never mankind dwelt' (the Americas) to keep their statutes, explaining Jewish artifacts and practices found among Native Americans. Jeremiah 33:24 concludes by noting how other nations have despised Israel, believing God cast them off, but the awakening of Israel dispels this notion.
