Introduction


One of the worlds most recognized, respected and accepted manuscript of information is the bible. The theme of this book has become the “ rod and staff “ of the political and religious world.
It is widely accepted the land of Palestine is the biblical land of Israel , while it’s official occupants who were granted the land in 1948 are the children of Israel.
The theme of our paper is “ The Biblical Land of Israel is Africa and the Arabian pennisula and that the true Israelites are the indigenous Africans”. We have provided biblical, geographical, and anthropological evidence to support our conclusion.

Section (1)
The Initial Plot

“ In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates”. Genesis 15 vs. 18.

The record given in the first book of the bible, is that of Abram ( Abrabam) receiving the boundaries of a land that was given to him by the Creator. The land was given unto Abram and to his seed, being the generations that were to follow ( the children of Israel ).
The accepted biblical knowledge declares that the patriarch Abraham had a son name Isaac who in turn had a son named Jacob. After, Jacob wrestled with an angle and was given the name Israel. His twelve sons, from Reuben to Benjamin, are considered to be the foundation fathers of the twelve tribes of Israel (Abraham’s seed).
This is the seed of Abraham that was given the land spoken of in Genesis 15, this is the land that would become the biblical land of Israel. The land was said to be bordered by two rivers, clearly defining these rivers as the boundaries of the land…. “from the river of Egypt unto… the river Euphrates”.
The river Euphrates which runs along side of the Tigris, passes through the countries of Iraq, Syria and Turkey (fig.1). As you observe it’s unique position, the river would appear as if it is a boundary separating Arabia from most of Asia and Europe. Yes, the river Euphrates runs through politically established countries in this modern time, but it is obvious that, according to the bible, this great river was one of the border marks separating the land of Israel from the known world.

The other great border mark , according to Genesis, is the river of Egypt. The river of Egypt is the river Nile.
The river Nile has always been associated with the northeastern country referred to as Egypt. It is upon the banks of this river that civilization in general had it’s beginning. It is the Blue Nile that had its head waters in Ethiopia, specifically lake Tana, while the White Nile flows out from Lake Victoria in Uganda. Both Blue and White Nile eventually unite in Sudan, flows north through Egypt and deposit itself in the Mediterranean sea (fig.2). These two rivers are the boundaries of the biblical land of Israel .

The geographical land mass situated between these rivers includes north east Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, Kenya, Eriteria, Djibouti and Egypt), Saudi Arabia, Omen, Aden, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Palestine. These countries afore mentioned, though politically divided today, make up the land mass of a nation that was previously one. This nation according to the description given in Genesis chap 15 “from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates” is the land given to Abraham and his seed, the land of Israel(fig.3).

Section (2)
The Expansion

The land described in Genesis 15 is the land of Israel in its initial stage. In the process of time the land was expanded to become a greater land, in respect to size. The boundaries of the expanded land is seen in the book of Joshua chapter 1 verse 4,
“from the river Euphrates to the great sea the setting of the sun”. As we have clearly identified the river Euphrates, the identification of this new body of water the great sea is also important, primarily because the accepted contemporary Great sea is not the biblical Great sea. The biblical Great sea is the Atlantic ocean .
The Atlantic ocean was given its name because of its relation to the continent of Atlantis, that was said to have sunk in its waters. The Atlantic ocean was also referred to as the Ethiopian sea as well as the Great sea by the Greeks, Vikings, and other European sailors.
Joshua chapter 1 declares that the new boundaries of the expanded land were the river Euphrates and the Great sea. This new border mark the Great sea (The Atlantic Ocean), gives you the description of the land of Israel being all of known Africa plus the Arabian peninsula. Africa and Arabia is “ the true biblical land of Israel”(fig.4).

Fig.4

The Mediterranean sea, which is to the north of Africa, is the accepted Great sea of this modern time, but we must not confuse it with the Great sea spoken of in the bible. The bible makes it plain that at the west coast of Israel is the Great sea, so the Great sea is the western border of the land. Yes, the Mediterranean sea is to the west of modern day political Israel (Palestine), but let us keep in mind that political Israel is to small to be an expansion of the land that once covered the land mass bordered by the river Euphrates and the river Nile, of which Palestine was a very small part. In the book of Ezekiel the Great sea is described as being to the west and also to the south of biblical Israel. The word also is highlighted to emphasize the position of the Great sea being to the west and also to the south of political Israel.

“And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Ka-desh, the river of the Great sea. And this is the south side southwards. The west side also shall be the Great sea from the border, till a man come over against Ha-math. This is the west side”. Ezekiel 47 vs. 19 & 20.

As we see from the book of Ezekiel the water of strife in Ka-desh is the river of the Great sea. And this is the south side southward. The west side also is the Great sea. The Atlantic ocean (the biblical Great sea) is to the south and also to the west of Africa (biblical Israel). Yes, the Mediterranean sea, which is the modern day accepted Great sea, is to the west of Palestine (political Israel) but it is not to the south of it. The body of water to the south of political Israel is the red sea which is a separate sea (by name and geography)from the Mediterranean sea(fig5). If the Mediterranean sea is the Great sea and Palestine is the land of Israel, this means that the Mediterranean sea should be to the west and also to the south of Palestine, the accepted land of Israel (in modern times).

“And the east side ye shall measure from Hau-ran and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side”. Ezekiel 47 vs. 18.

This verse indicates that another sea is directly related to the land of Israel. This sea is referred to as the east sea, “…from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side”. it is obvious that the eastern border of the land is related to a sea referred to as the east sea. If we observe the political land of Israel and its boundaries it is not connected in any way to a sea at its eastern border. In other words, if political Israel is the biblical Israel you should be able to go to the eastern boundary of this land and jump into a sea, not cross the border into Iraq, because Ezekiel 47 clearly shows that “…unto the east sea. And this is the east side”.
Our main theme at this point is that the biblical land of Israel is Africa and Arabia.
There is a body of water to the east of Africa (biblical Israel ) called the Indian ocean. It is obvious that the Indian ocean is more related to Africa and even Arabia than India. The so-called Indian ocean is directly to the east of Africa, making it the eastern border of the land of Africa (biblical Israel ). “….unto the east sea. And this is the east side”. The Indian ocean is the east sea. There is no sea to the east of Palestine political Israel.

Section (3a)
Ethnicity

“are ye not unto me as unto the children of the Ethiopians ye children of Israel ?”. Amos 9 vs. 7.

The accepted biblical theme, is that the children of Israel were the chosen of God and the apple of His eye. The volume makes it clear that the Creator separated the children of Israel from all the other nations to become His peculiar treasure. The other nations were referred to as foreigners and strangers, and were not welcome to partake in the affairs of the Israelites. Yet in the midst of this obvious favoritism,
another nation has been named as an equal recipient of Gods affection.
“…Are ye not unto me as unto the children of the Ethiopians o ye children of Israel”, could also be written as; children of Israel, can’t you see that you mean the same to me as the children of Ethiopians. God did not express that he loves the Ethiopians as much as he loves Israel, he uses the Ethiopians as the yard stick or the standard bearer to relate his love to Israel. The impression given is that the Ethiopians and the Israelites are one in the sight of God.




Section (3b)
The Ethiopians


Mention was made of the Atlantic ocean and its previous name the Ethiopian sea. The reason for this is because the whole continent of Africa was once referred to as Ethiopia. In scientific terms the highly melinated (black) human beings with the wooly or ‘kinky’ hair are Ethiopians. All so-called black people where ever they are born are Ethiopians according to anthropology. This can also be seen clearly in the biblical book of Jeremiah chapter 13 vs. 23 where the questioned is asked “can an Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?” showing the importance of the nature of the man which is expressed by the skin, the melanin. All of this may not compute with accepted concept of Israel and the biblical theme in general, but if we are to consider my theory which states; “The true biblical land of Israel is all of known Africa as well as the Arabian peninsular and the true Israelites are the indigenous Africans”, then this interesting revelation will be comprehended. “Are ye not unto me as the children of the Ethiopians o ye children of Israel”.


Section (4)
The City of David

One of the main religious concepts that follows the biblical theme is that through the linage of Israel the Messiah which is Christ shall be born, more specifically through the lineage of David. The birth place of the Messiah was also considered to be the “city of David” which is Bethlehem. As the land of Israel was described in geographic terms in the bible, the city of David which is the birthplace of the Messiah was also described in geographic terms.

“Now after this he built a wall without (around) the city of David on the Westside of Gihon, in the valley, even at the entering of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah”. Chronicles chapter 33 vs. 14.

The “he” that built the wall around the city of David was an Israelite king, specifically the King of Judah, King Manesseh. Although who he was is of some importance, our main focus at this time is the geographical location of the city of David. According to the chapter and verse above the city of David is located on the west side of Gihon. The next main question now is where and what is Gihon?.

“ And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia”.Genesis chapter 2 vs. 13

Geographically speaking it is the river Nile that compasseth the whole land of modern Ethiopia as well as the ancient Ethiopian kingdom (modern Ethiopia, Nubia and Kemet). The river Nile is the biblical Gihon. Yes identifying the Gihon as the Nile is very important, yet what is also of tremendous importance is the fact that it is located in Ethiopia. “ Are ye not unto me as unto the children of the Ethiopians o ye children of Israel?”. The city of David is Bethlehem, the birth place of Christ. This city, Bethlehem is described as being on the west side of the Gihon (the river that compasseth Ethiopia), the Nile. The ancient African concept was that Christ was born in a cave in Ethiopia, not a manger in Palestine. The city of David, the Bethlehem of the bible where the Messiah must be born is in Ethiopia, to the west of the Nile. “From the river Euphrates to the Great sea”.

Section (5)
From Dan to Beer-Sheba

“From Dan even to Beer-Sheba” is a phrase use to simply identify the whole land of Israel. It is similar to the phrase, “from cape to Cairo”. (All Africa).

“Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beer-Sheba”. 2 Samuel 24 vs. 2.

In the first book of kings chapter 10 ,it tells of the visit of the queen of Sheba who was also referred to as the queen of the south. The queen of the south was the queen of the area to the south of Jerusalem, King Solomon’s seat. It is internationally accepted that the queen of Sheba was the queen of Ethiopia. Sheba itself was part of known Ethiopia.

“ And they had in their inheritance Beer-Sheba or Sheba, and Molada”. Joshua chapter 19 vs. 2.

This chapter and verse has list Sheba and Beer-Sheba as the same, Sheba according to the book of Joshua is another name for Beer-Sheba. “….Beer-Sheba, or Sheba…”.
This is to say that the Beer-Sheba that is related to the biblical Israel is the same Sheba that is related to geographic Ethiopia which at that time, had its kingdom going to the coast and in Arabia.


Section (6)
Unity


“Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea? Ethiopia and Egypt were its strength”. Nahum chapter 3 vs8-9

This section will provide additional evidence of the unity of the modern day north eastern African countries as well as their governance of all Africa at a specific time in history (biblical and otherwise).
No ( pronounced no-we) is an ancient Kemetic city known for its high standard of civilization and it’s major advancement in the highest of the sciences. It is more commonly referred to as the city of Thebez(fig 6). As the book of Nahum stated, this city was populous and its fortification, its walls of defence were to the sea (the coast). The No or Thebez of today has no sea port, it is a city in Egypt, yet history shows that it was a central point of governance for a united Africa. This is why its walls and its rampart could reach to the sea, because all within these walls were its possession. Let us keep in mind that No is in Egypt and Egypt is in Africa so obviously, even without knowledge of the history, No’s wall that went to the sea must be the coast surrounding Africa. This is why Nahum also states that Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and that it was infinite. All of Africa was once the Ethiopian empire. From the river Euphrates onto the Great sea.Are ye not unto me as the children of
The Ethiopian o ye children of Israel”.

Section
(7)
Summary


“ …and the hair of his head like the pure wool” Daniel chapter 7 vs. 9.

“ …And his feet like unto fine brass, as if burnt in a furnace” Revelation chapter 1 vs. 15.

In both of these verses the authors were describing their visual encounter with the Messiah. On both occasions he was described as having hair like wool, while St. John adds that his feet were as brass burned in a furnace. This poetic description of Christ is the very nature of the indigenous African, the melinated man with the wooly or ‘kinky’ hair.
The Messiah who is an Israelite was clearly of African origin, but considering the evidence that we have brought forward it is only natural, for the Ethiopians and the Israelites are one.
Although the evidence presented in this paper are irrefutable this theory will be thought provoking and many question will still arise. This is why we have challenged the international Jewish community as well as religious and political associates ,to refute our theory which claims that Israel is Africa and Arabia and the Israelites of the bible are the African of the world.
Our book and DVD documentary entitled ( The Biblical Land of Israel) goes into more detail and presents more evidence to highlight the identity of ‘the chosen people of God’.
We thank all who have read this report with an open mind. I am sure that whether an individual ascribes or not to Israel, the bible or the Messiah, this information will be enlightening to any who is seeking a better comprehension of all things.
The Israel described in the bible, its people as well as its geographical domain does not aligned itself with that of today. This obviously means that the history as well as the culture of which we have been taught are also not associated with the truth. If we are honest especially if we ascribe to the bible we would clearly see that “The Biblical Land of Israel is all of known Africa and the Arabian peninsular and the true Israelite are the indigenous African of the world”.

I man don't agree with de author when him seh Israelis are God's choosen people. Maybe he's refering to de god of Israel not de almighty God. De god of Israel is an illusory god invented by some bias Israelites who wrote some books of de bible. Now many people confuse de god of israel with de creator. Der's no chosen God's people but we are all God's people. I n many of my fellow black people here ina Africa know n we proud dat we African not Israelite. So I n I here don't need to claim no Israeli heritage dat is not ours fo we know our own heritage is Africa. Bless my lord.

Peace. To answer ur question Black Heart, it is Haile Selassie I prophecyd to be of the leniage of David. This Same Man was Jesus Christ the son of Mary by devine conception The Son of God. It is mystic; the devine conception; no man can comprehend. See, God created the first man Adam from the earth, and The Second Adam The Restorer from the wombman. The first as a man, the Second as a babe, God Sent. When man fell from grace, he could not behold his Maker. Thus The Almighty limit Himself to his son man. He walk with Enoch. He spoke with Abraham. He was seen of Isaac. He fought with Israel. At the time of Moses the children of Israel reject to behold Him. Then He cloth Himself with their garment, to Restore them to their former estate. He revealed to them a new garment to be shared with all man. Then He put on the new garment to redeam His Own, and to give an everlasting example of the meaning, porpose and destinty of the new garment; Christian: to be like Christ, The Saviour of Mankind.
