DESCENDANTS OF SO-CALLED BLACKS AND NATIVES

We believe that so-called Blacks, Native Americans, and scattered people of the Americas are the true Israelites spoken of in the Bible. In 2 Esdras 13, the northern tribes are described as leaving into another land called Arsareth, which many connect to the lands later called the Americas. (Jewish Encyclopedia, Arsareth)

In Book of Jeremiah 50:33, the Bible says Judah and Israel are “oppressed together,” showing both kingdoms would suffer captivity and oppression side by side. When you read the curses in Book of Deuteronomy 28 — slavery, being scattered among nations, losing identity, oppression, and family destruction were shared by both groups.

We see those same curses fulfilled in the history of Black and Native peoples. Even James Adair, who lived among Native tribes, wrote about similarities between the Natives customs and the customs of ancient Israel. These things are signs showing who the lost sheep of the house of Israel are today.
